NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Mr. Stimson Returning With Naval Treaty-Fight on It Due in Senate. By EDWARD W. PICKARD S EUHETAHY 01<' STATE STIMSO~ nnd his colleagues In the London naval conference solletl for the Unltell States Wedne:sday bringing with them • certified copy of the naval tt·euty which the senate will soon be asked to accept or reject. The treaty was .signed on Tuesday by the represent.atlves ot the five powers concerned, the ceremony taking place at the f\nal plenary session of the conference In the Queen Anne drawing room of St. .James' palace. Prime Minister MacDonald, l\lr. Stimson, Arlstide Brlnnd, Rejiro Wakasuki and Admiral Sorlanni all !!'poke at some length and then affixed their signatures to the momentous document. The confer· ence then was adjourned, with the way left open for Its resumption when and If l<"rance and Italy can be brought into the full treaty by diplo· matte negotiations. 'l'hough the results of the three months of wo•·k In Loudon fell far :ahort ot the hopes of those who S{JOD· •ored the parley, they are hy nu means small. The treaty, though signed by all the powers, Is in the main a three power pact between the United States, Grent llrltaln and .Japan by which tho>:;e nu tlong agree to II mit the tonnage of all classes of ti~htin~ ships. ,America is to scrap three battle;;hips, England five, and .Japan one. The sections of the tren ty arlhereu to by France and Italy provide for a lh·e· year holl<.lay In battleship building, prescribe rules ot submarine warfare and relate to less lmpo1·tnnt pha:;es or disurmament. 'l'he compromise.reached between the French global and the Rritish and American categorical lliP.thods of limiting tonnuge was omitted from the document IJut w!ll be transrnltted to the Let<gue of Nations for u~e by Its preparatory (.'Ommlttee on di~armament. That the treaty would uot have an ~asy time getting tht·ough the senate was as::mred when the. plans of Sen· ator Hale of lllaine, chalnnau ot the committee, became atialrs naval iknown. He i.s leading the opposition and In his fir:;t attack on the pact will charge that Its ratification will not give the United Stutes parity in mnnl ships with Great Britain <lUI"· tug the lite of tho pact. He also will attack the treaty on the ground that Its provleious allowing Japan an increase In cruiser, submarine, nnd deatroyer ratio will weaken the American naval po~ltion In the Far East and lower this country's prestige In the Orient. It was said Mr. Hale found many admirals of the navy were hostile to the treaty mainly because ot limitations placed on American building of 8-lnch gun cruisers and the increase tn the Japanese ratios. Senator llorah. chairman of the foreign n•latlous committee, and Senators Heed of l'enn· sylvania and Hobinson of Arlcnusns, ure expected to lead the flght in IJehalt of ratification or the pact. .. -• REBUTTAL evhh•nce by the wets was heard by the house judiciary committee, the principal wltnesseg beIng Pierre S. du Pout, rulllionulre chernlcal and munitions manufacturer; Maj.

Buck, secretary of the Dlspensary·Tau: Heductlon Io~ederal league. Mr. du Pont presented arguments and statements designed to refute the claims of the drys that the country's prosperity In recent years hal been due mainly or In any marked degree to prohibition. General J<.!d· wards bitterly attacked the prohJIJl· tlonlsta for putting through the Eighteenth amendment while the soldiers were overseas, told the bad results Of drying up the military reserva· t1on1 as a preliminary experiment and aave facta and Agur,s showing the ucelleJSt beha•Jor of the American troops in France where they were permitted to drink wines and beer.

Curran, IJI"e1!1dent of the Association Against the l'rohlhitlon Amendment, had been lmmmone\1 to tell of the ac· tlvltles of the officials of that organ!· zat!on, aud he p•·ovcd a very lively wltneli'l!.

Church, president of the Carnegie Institute of 'fechnolo~~:y. He ::~aid Pierre du l'ont has indorsed the propoRal and has said the new party will be Rucce~ful.

Next day Senator HoiJinson of Indiana came to bat with sensnt!onai charges that Curran's association had "lobbied with member~ of the United States :dupreme Court."

Old and young can take this family laxative; free trial bottle! The next time you or the children need a laxative, try this famous doctor's prescription which aids the bowels without doing any harm. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, containing pure senna and laxative herbi, is effective in a gentle and helpful way. Its action is thorough, but it never weakens the bowels. It stimulates muscular action and is thus actually good for the system. So remember Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin when coated tongue, fetid breath, headaches, nausea, jaded appetite or biliousness tells the need of a thorough cleansing.
