Great Urltaln proposed that this disparity In Mg gun cruisers would he made up by allowing the British government to retain four older gun cruisers and maintain un advantage in cruiser tonnage amounting to approximately 4(, Kt tons of small gun police cruisers. In Loudon It was announced that Prime Minister MucDonald had decided to sail for the United States on September 28 to confer with President Hoover and Secretary of State Stim-so- INTER TERENCE by lndlvtduul cltl reus or corporations In the for elgn relations of the United States Is not to be tolerated by the President or the senate, and proceedings were started last week deslgued to put an end to that practice. The matter came to the fore when one William B. Shearer, In a suit for remuneration, revealed that he had been employed by American shipbuilding concerns to attend the futile three-powe- r naval limitation conference of 1027 and by propaganda to frustrate the plans for reducing naval armaments President Hoover Immediately Issued a statement scathingly denouncing Shearer and his employers and ordered the Department of Justice to Investigate the man's activities. The senate followed suit and adopted unanimously a resolution by Senator Borah directing the naval affairs committee to make an Inquiry into the alleged employment of Shearer by shipbuilding corporations and the part played by them in the collapse of the conference at Geneva. Under the resolution the Inquiry was limited to that, though Senator McKel-la- r of Tennessee suggested It might be found wise to enlarge the scope of the Inquiry to Include all kinds of propaganda In the naval armament controversy. This course also had been urged by various persons outside of the senate who, while not defending the alleged activities of Shearer, condemned the propaganda of pacifists and other "little navy persons. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the minority leader, said: No question Is raised as to the right of any or all parties to carry on propaganda within the limits of lawful action, but this Involves a question of Interference in what Is esseuttally the for elgn relations of the United States. There Is no purpose to confuse the transactions mentioned with the long continued controversy as to whether the United States should have a large or a small navy." The Arkansas senator declared no senate Investigation could end that controversy or stem the flow of on thRt and virtually every major piece of legislation brought before congress. It was expected, however, that the Investigation would end Interference by Interested citizens or corporations In the countrys foreign relations, be said. The corporations named by Shearer In his suit for $257,655 were the Bethlehem Shipbuilding corporation, the American Brown Boverl Electric corporation and the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock company. Eugene G. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, In a letter to President Hoover, admitted Shearer had been employed by the shipbuilders to attend the conference as an observer, but said this was done without his knowledge and that when the board of the Bethlehem corporation learned of Shearers propagandist activities bis employment was terminated. The American Brown Boverl corporation Issued a statement to the same effect. n President Hoover advisers in Internationa affairs were considering new proposals from the British government for establishing a tentative naval reduction agreement and preparing an answer thereto, which was cabled to Ambassador Dawes Thursday night. The British plan called for reduction of the British cruiser fleet to about 310,000 tons on condition that the United Stutes gun jvould limit its 10, 000 ton treaty cruiser tonnage to eighteen ships. Instead of the twenty-thre- e now carried on the American building program.

Almost the only objection raised was that the plun might result In a loss of sovereignty of the Individual states; and some of the statesmen emphasized that the union should be mainly economic. The French premier was asked to draw up a memorandum on his scheme to be studied by the European governments, and after they have replied a conference of all European nations will be called to consider the plan. a LJAVING elected Peru, and Poland to seats In the council, the assembly of the League of Nations considered and debated a number of Important matters. These Included a proposul by Louis Loucheur, of France, for the rationing of coal and sugar among the nations; an appeal by Count Apponyl, of Hungary, for revision of the Trianon treaty to return to his nation some of Its citizens now placed as minorities In Rumania, a and Czechoslovakia; and a plan to place under the supervision of the league the International bank created under the Young reparations plan. Dr. C, C. Wu, Chinese minister to the United Stutes, proposed that the league advise Its members to reconsider the extraterritorial treaties which, he said, shackle the Chinese republic and rob It of Its sovereignty. The agendu committee voted against Wus plea for adoption of a resolution for revision of treaties that have become Inapplicable, on the ground that it opened up a question of too vast an Importance, and the Chinese delegation threatened to withdraw from the assembly.

The Russians have been attacking with artillery and bombing planes and the Chinese have retaliated sharply. There was desperate fighting for several days for possession of the city of Pogranlchlnaya on the eastern border, and at first tt was claimed the Chinese had won there, but later advices said they had been driven back 40 miles to Mulln, and that Pogranlchlnaya had been reduced to ashes. Soviet gunboats made determined efforts to force their way up the Sungari river, but it had been mined by the Chinese. Each side blames the other for the aggressive actions, and actual conditions are rather clouded. Negotiations for peaceful settlement were still going on In Berlin.

Waggoner, president of a hank In Colo. Through code telegrams ostensibly signed by Denver banks, he. obtained from the New York Institutions certified cheeks for half a million dollars, most of which he had placed to the credit of his own bank. It was a kind of a Robin Hood stunt, for he says It was done to make It possible for the people of Tetluride to recover the losses they have met through the manipulations of New York financiers. The latter, he asserts, bought three of the largest mines In the Telluride district and closed them to prevent competition, throwing most of the town's Inhabitants out of employment and wrecking his bank deposits.

McConnell was standing on a street corner in China watching a scene that he did not at first recognize as a dramatization of one of the most important principles of human relationships. fie saw two Chinamen standing face to face, with their noses not more than five inches apart, shouting at each other. Obviously a difference of interest or opinion was at stake. Each contestant had at his back a group of supporters. Bishop McConnell watched the affair for ten minutes and then, turning to a colleague who had lived in China for many years, he said: Ive watched these men for ten minutes. Apparently they are braced for a fight, hut neither has struck a blow, and neither seems nearer to striking a blow now than he was ten minutes ago. Oh, said his colleague, you dont understand the Chinese theory of a fight. The man who strikes the first blow in a Chinese fight indicates thereby to the onlookers that he has run out of ideas. I venture the dogmatic and sweeping statement that there has not been a war during the last 500 years that has not been due to the fact that statesmen stopped using ideas and began using blows before full use had been made of available ideas. I commend to statesmen, to men in business enterprises, to men in churches, to men in universities, the Chinese theory that the man who strikes the first blow indicates thereby that he has run out of ideas.

For Best Results in Home Dyeing You can always give richer, deeper, more brilliant colors to faded or dress- es, hose, coats, draperies, etc., with Diamond Dyes. And the colors stay in through wear and washing! Heres the reason. Diamond Dyes contain the highest quality anilines money can buy. And its the anilines that count! They are-thvery life of dyes. Plenty of pure anilines make Diamond Dyes easy to use. They go on evenly without spotting or streaking. Try them next time and see why authorities recommend them; why millions of women will use no other dyes. You get Diamond for the Dyes same price as ordinary dyes; 15c, at any drug store.

I advocate immediate and unconditional reunion of all branches of the Presbyterian church. The differences that arose out of the sorrows and griefs of the battlefields of 61 to 65 have long ago found their solution in the hearts of those comrades of the Blue and Gray. If those old fighters, now on their final march, have learned to walk together in the love of a common flag, so may Presbyterians, north and south, who are their sons and share all their pride and their loyalties, walk together under the bonnie blue flag of Presbyterianism. What they can do for their country, we can do for our Christ. Doctrinal differences which heretofore have separated the various branches of the Presbyterian church are negligible and minor differences. Every argument for reuniting the separated units of our great family has taken on new urgency today. Every objection that has heretofore arisen to postpone and prevent this natural and inevitable oneness, has less weight with the thoughtful and devoted leaders in the church than at any time in a generation. As to racial groupings in the church, conditions that once justified cr made congenial the separate groupings of Presbyterians in the pioneer days have gone by because of the dilution of the old racial stocks and the universality and supremacy of the real American breed of Presbyterianism.

The fact that we produce more of a product than is consumed in tins country does not necessarily mean that we have a surplus of it. In the case of cotton and wheat, we produce large amounts for export and the export price controls the price of the home product, Rut where this priie m remunerative to the grower it can hardly be said that we have a surplus of the product. Sime the panic jears of P120-2- 1 the production of dairy and poultry products in this country has been adjusted to our home requirements with an amazing degree of accuracy. At no time has our production of these produits exceeded onr requirements more than 1 or 2 per cent nor has it fallen below our requirements by more than this percentage. As to whether or not this remarkable state of affairs will continue I think we can find the answer if we can find the cause of the delicate exists between that adjustment production and consumptive needs. I am of the opinion that the cause is to be sought in the following facts: That section of the United States known as the corn belt has more alternatives than any other. Corn belt fanners can turn their attention to dairying, the poultry business, the raising of beef cattle, the fattening of steers, the production of pork products, the production of mutton and wool, the growing for sale of corn, wheat, oats or hay. It is because of the fact that the corn belt produces such a large percentage of dairy and poultry products that so far as dairy and poultry products are concerned, production is automatically balanced against market i y W p F SPECIAL Interest to the central South was the offer of President Hoover to hold up work on the Mississippi flood control prolect on the s extending from the Arkansas river to the Gulf of Mexico If the flood-wa.v- Southern congressmen Interested requested It Senator Robinson of Arkansas and Senator Itansdell and Representative Wilson of Louisiana concurred In this plan.

Conversion to other faiths, intermarriage, a decreasing birth rate and an unchanged mortality rate are disintegrating forces which menace the continued existence of the Jews as a people. Although the rights of Jews as equal citizens has been recognized in a majority of conntn'es and although the last three decades witnessed aD unprecedented growth of the Jewish population groups throughout the world, they are in danger of extinction. In the last three decades the number of Jews throughout the world grew from 10,500,000 to 16,000,000, as against 4,500,000 in times of antiquity. America, which had a Jewish population of 1,000,000 in 1900, had a Jewish population of about 4,500,000 in 1928. The increase was due to immigration from eastern European countries. A process of disintegration of Jewish culture and Jewish religion, particularly in Russia and other east European countries, is under way. Palestine constitutes the only exception. In Palestine the Jewish birth rate exceeds the death rate, and although that country contains at present only 1 per cent of the Jewish population throughout the world, it has shown itself capable of revivifying the Jewish religion and the Hebrew language Zionism, is hound to deal it a severe though it does not destroy Mow. The entire world will experience a beneficent influence from Zionism when Palestine becomes an important bulwark. D. Scientific Eye Examinations Send ns your broken glass far repairs.
