Show THE SAUNA SUN. SAUNA, UTAH v News Review of Current Events the World Over ' Great Britain Forced to Abandon the Gold Standard Steel Cuts Wages Presidents Appeal v to the Legion. f By EDWARD W. PICKARD Britain started oit the with a bang that could be hear! around the world. The national government, finding the gold reserves of the Bank of England were reduced to the danger point, the money borrowed from America and France exhausted and the withdrawals of foreign balances from the country continuing, adopted the evidently wise course of abandoning the gold Great standard ' at least temporarily. The situation had become so critical that this had to be done. In the words of the official This decision announcement, will, of course, not affect obligations of his majestys government or of the Bank of England which are payable in foreign currencies. On Monday the governments bill was rushed through both houses of parliament and approved by the king, and the gold standard act was Hi us suspended for six months. Whether the nation .will go back to that standard depends on the course of events. Though the government's decision was not announced until Sunday night. It was reached several days earlier and the rulers of America and France were warned. In the stock exchanges of both countries a check was put on short selling, so the evil effects were minimized and the bears held under curb. Of course the pound Bterllng dropped to low figures, but there was a decided recovery within a few hours. The London stock exchange and some continental bouses were closed tera-- ' pornrlly. Chancellor Snowden, always cou- rageous In difficulties, presented the case to the house of commons when the bill was up for passage and to the crowded benches and galleries be had no apologies to make. lie cited the chief reasons for the action as follows: The tying up of British funds In Germany, with Its Immediate effect on the London market. Criticism abroad concerning the British governments expenditure In keeping the unemployed on the dole. The adverse balance of trade, which he said has been seized upon and exaggerated." The new governments Inability to command a united front In the house of commons. The naval unrest exploited in foreign newspapers, causing general nervousness abroad." Mr. Snowden explained that as a result of all this people began to take their possessions away from England, but added that the actual crisis started Inst May with the collapse of the chief banks In Australia. J. P. Morgan, who was In London, gave one of his exceedingly rare Interviews to the press. "This step seems to me," he said, to be the second necessary stage In the work of the national government, the first being the balancing of the budget. The completion of the governments work will be the restoration of trade In this country. This being the case, It seems to me to be a hopeful and not a discouraging event, and one which brings the great work of the government much nearer to accomplishment." JAPANS action In seizing Mukden South Manchurian cities was causing a lot of trouble not only for China but also for the Japanese government. The aggressive course, It appears, was taken by the war office without awaiting the approval of the government at Tokyo, and the cabinet was badly split. War Minis- ter Mi muni aggravated this rupture by sending reinforcements to Manchuria from the Corean garrisons on his own IniMinister tiative. Foreign Kljuro Shidohnra was especially roiled, for he hoped to settle the quarrel with China by peaceful negotiations, and apparently Premier Wakatsuki was of the same mind. On demand of Alfred Sze, Chinese delegate to the League of Nations, a special meeting of the league council was called to hear Nankings protest against the action of Japan, and a mild resolution was adopted. Mr. Sze charged that Japanese troops, without provocation, opened rifle and artillery fire upon Chinese soldiers at Mukden, bombarded the arsenal and barracks, set fire to the ammunition depot and disarmed Chinese troops In other cities. He asked that the league act to prevent further development of the situation and determine the amounts and character of reparations due China. Kenkichl Toshlzawa, Japanese spokesman, announced to the council that Japan would respect In every way the stipulations of the league covenant and of the Kellogg pact In her policy toward Manchuria. T. V. Soong, Chinese minister of finance, proposed a commission to ry to solve the Manchuria problem and this suited Tokyo, but tt was rejected flatly by Nanking. In a mesPresident Chiang sage to the Chinese people, declared that "if the League of Nations and the Kellogg pact signatories fail to uphold Justice between China and Japan, the national government Is prepared for a final and supreme struggle. I shall lead the army and the entire nation In the fight for the preservation of our race. I shall go to the front and. If necessary, fall with other patriots. rebelThe Canton government censed Its hostile campaign against the Nationalist regime In order that all China might unite to combat Japan. Soviet Russia took a hand In the melee, making formal protest to Japan against the latters course In taking steps In Manchuria without first notifying Moscow. Russia says her Interests in Manchuria are as large as those of Japan. The tone of the Moscow press was warlike. On Wednesday Secretary of State Stimson sent notes to both Japan and China urging them to cease hostilities, and the League of Nations council cabled to Tokyo asking Japan to permit a neutral commission to Investigate the situation. e Kai-she- k - HOOVER,, deciding suddenly to appear before the convention of the American Legion, went to Detroit Monday and delivered a stirring address to some 16,000 Legionnaires and their families. He was warmly received and listened to with respect, and It was evident that his majn purpose, the heading off of demands by the organization for additional bonus loans s.t this time, had been accomplished. Mr. Hoover made bis message brief, and he dealt with no other subject than thnt which took him there. In effect, the President made a request that the Legionnaires should not press for additional loans under the veterans adjusted compensation act. There hnd been a concerted movement within the Legion to have this convention pass a resolution demanding that veterans be permitted to borrow the full amount of their adjusted compensation certificates. Instead of only half, ns at present. But the President shrewdly avoided making a direct plea. He said It was not fitting that the President of the United States should plead with them In a test of patriotism. . ne was pointing out the path of service In this nation, Mr. Hoover said, and he left the choice with the Legion. The President outlined the financial plight of the country, and said he was convinced that the Legion would seek to add no further burden. When the President finished and had left the hall wflh cries of We want heor! ringing behind him, he was driven directly back to his special train which left at once for Washington. After a warm debate the Legion adopted a resolution condemning the Eighteenth amendment and calling on refercongress to hold a nation-widendum on the repeal or modification of the dry laws. The convention als) voted not to press for full payment of compensation certificates at this time. Henry L. Stevens. Jr., of Warsaw, N. C., was elected national commander. PRESIDENT e rlRECTORS of the United States Steel corporation, the Bethlelioin Steel corporation and the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company announced that wage rates of their employees would be reduced about 10 per cent, effective October 1. At the same time the General Motors corporation announced a readjustment of salaries, the cuts ranging from 10 to 20 per cent; and the United States Rubber company gave out word that its entire organization would go on a five-da- y week, without change In the hourly scale of wages but involving a reduction of in salaries. These readjustments by huge corporations were not unexpected but were grently regretted by the Hoover administration. The wage cuts were bitterly resented by organized labor whose officials feared they would lead to reductions all along the line. As a matter of fact, several other big concerns did put In effect similar cuts. DLANS for a general armaments construction holiday go on apace. The League of Nations armaments committee invited the United States to participate In Its discussions of this subject In a consultative capacity and Uncle Sam gladly accepted. Then Secretary of State Stimson announced that Hugh R. Wilson, Amer- - lean minister to Switzerland, had been Instructed to Inform the committee that the United States Is favorably inclined toward the Idea of an International building holiday for land, air and naval armaments. Mr. Wilson will report to Washington on any plan of action advanced and will then receive further Instructions from the Intcrmountain News Briefly Told for Busy Readers PLAN POWER CENTER FIND BURNED AUTOUST HAND LABOR FAVORED AWAIT POINTY CHOICE UTAH C ONVICT C AUGHT administration. Another hopeful sign la the fact that Premier Laval of France has ac- cepted an Invitation from President Hoover to visit Washington. It Is expected he will come some time In October.

He Is to be succeeded by Dr. Iuig Casauranc. Senor Tellez has been regarded by his colleagues in the diplomatic corps as successful in conducting diplomatic representations before this government. He came to Washington In 1920 ns first secretary, shortly afterward became charge daffaires upon the departure of Ambassador Bonillas, and remained In that capacity until 1923, when he was appointed ambassador by President Cnlles. Five years afterward, when Tascual Ortlz-Rubiassumed the presidency of Mexico, Tellez, conforming to the custom in diplomatic missions, tendered bis resignation, but this was declined. when Orttz-Rubiand bis family visited the capital they were the guests of the ambassador.
