Because to obtain durable, lasting peace it is necessary to eliminate bolshevism from Europe. It Is necessary that some absurd clauses of the treaties of peace be revised. It is necessary that great peoples like the German people have again the place to which they are entitled, and which they once had, under the African sun."

The demonstration was sponsored by the district council of the Maritime Federation of the Pacific, comprised of seagoing unions affiliated with the Committee for Industrial Organization. But about a third of the crowd was comprised of Chinese, who streamed out from the city's vast Chinatown to vent their rage at things and persons Japanese. C.

This clause of the federation proposal brought a denunciation from n Philip Murray, chairman of the C. i. O. peace committee, who asserted that it asked "desertion and betrayal" of these unions. The C. I. O. proposal was that its unions should return to the federation and that a new autonomous department should be created, to be known as the C. I.

Many brokers were doubtful that this action would stabilize the market; but the immediate effect was to give stock prices a start upward. C. I. O. James Dewey, Labor department conciliator, and Senator George L. Berry of Tennessee were busy trying to find a way to peace. The position of President Roosevelt was unknown, but it was believed he would continue his hands-of- f policy. Yardstick TeLfer-Smollet- in Ross, ad- ministrator of the Bonneville dam project on the Columbia river, established the "yardstick" rate by which the charges of privately owned utilities for electric current are to be judged. The formula Is to pay operating charges, amortize the federal investment in power generation in 40 years and provide a net return of 34 per cent. For the present the formula is to apply only to the Bonneville project, but Ross recommended that the same principle be followed with respect to power from the TVA and other government plants. Japs Smash Chinese declined the JAPAN officially to the nine-powtreaty conference in Brussels, and her forces went ahead fast in their operations in China. They had been checked by a desperate stand of the Chinese defenders of Shanghai, but launched a new offensive that forced the Chinese to abandon Chapei, the native section, and fall back to a new line to the west of the international settlement There they entrenched with their backs to the Soochow creek on the other side of which were the United States marines. These American troops had orders from Admiral Yarnell to shoot at any planes attacking them or at The British troops in Shanghai had similar orders, and the international tension was brought nearer to the breaking point when a Japanese tank fired on a British infantry detachment of which Brig.

Such was the warning, evidently directed especially to Italy and Germany, which Premier Camille Chau- be- t'Xjj temPs uttered M.Chautemp. the central feder. ation of his Radical Socialist party. "I hope especially in the grievous affair of Spain this pacific, prudent, and courageous action will succeed in cutting short the violations of justice which cannot be renewed without constraining France and Britain to renew their liberty of action," Chautemps said. The premier's declaration recalled French insistence that unless the nonintervention committee soon pulled foreign troops out of Spain France would open her frontier tc aid the Spanish government. n EVER since the slump in the stock began the government hasbeen urged to do something about it. Finally the administration yielded to the demands and the federal reserve board of governors reduced margin requirements on stock purchases from 55 to 40 per cent and imposed a 50 per cent margin on short sales. The new requirements went into effect November 1 and are not retroactive. No official explanation was given for the board's action but it was understood that it was designed to adjust the margin requirements to current stock market conditions. Imposition of the increased margin requirements on short sales was an innovation from the board's standpoint, a stock exchange rule requiring only 10 point protection on short sales.
