ECONOMIC BLOCKADE
BEST WEAPON SAYS
BALFOUR OF LEAGUE
DIV Assoc,ated Pressl

-
SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, July 30
1--WE must have an economic block
ade." declared Arthur ]. Balfour, the
British representative on the League
Of Nations council, in a talk with
newspaper correspondents on the pro-
gram of the council which opens its
eighth meeting here tomorrow. He
considered the meeting an important
one because, among other things, the
blockade question was comprised in
its agenda.
II an economic blockade was applied
to q nation which defied the league,
Mr.. Balfour said he could not believe
that nation would be able to resist
for long.
mo nation would destroy itself In
these civilized times by inviting such
a penalty" he added. cit is not like
ly it will often be used since it Is not
probable the league will often be
defied."
Extremists Arc Enemies.
Mr. Balfour gave 1t as his opinion
that the league was suffering from two
dangers; on the one hand, from those
people who said it was a useless ere
alton, and on the other hand from
those who believd that in the league
had been found a remedy for all In
ternational difficulties.
If all the nations threw all their
problems on it in these early days, be-
fore its objects had been ingrained In
the peoples minds, he asserted, the
league could not function properly; 1t
must be given time to develop.
Turning to the Aland Islands ques-
ton, over which he said a clash had
been averted by Finland and Sweden
referring the case to the league, Mr..
Balfour cited 1t as an instance Of the
real effectiveness Of the league for
peace. But he declared, behind dis
cussions in such a case there must
be stronger sanctions and these were
contemplated by the league.
The significance Of holding the coun-
Gil meeting in a neutral country, was
dwelt upon by the speaker. He ex-
pressed satisfaction also that Count
Quinones de Leon, Spanish ambassa-
dor to France, was to preside, "be-
cause the services rendered the league
by this neutral member are well
known"
Addressing the Spanish press rep
resentatives especially, Mr.. Balfoul
stated he was glad the meeting was
being held in Spain, since it empha
sized the universal character of the
league.

CLOUDS ARE THE EARTH'S VEIL;
MERE FILM, SEEN FROM MOON


MERE FILM, SEEN FROM MOON
The layer OF cloud covering the
earth is relatively very thin. II. for
example, we could examine the earth
from the moon, we would doubtless see
veil Of cloud covering little more
than half the surface. AT that distance
the clouds would have no texture, the
earth would appear swathed in an IT.
regular sheet of formless vapor,
through which, from time to time, the
land and water areas could be seen.
The cloud cover OF the earth is
most attenuated; it may be compared
to film, for 1t is supposed to be less
than one eight-hundredth of the earth 8
diameter in vehicle thickness.
The thinness of the earth's atmos-
phere may be more clearly compre.
hended II we realize that the relative
thickness of the cloud layer on an s.
inch terrestrial globe would be about
onehundredth of an inch. Yet il is in
this belt that clouds form, SO that 1t is

Premier VenizeIos.

The ASA ssins are believed to be
members of Greek royalist cliQues.
They gave the names of Georges Kyric,
army reservist, and Apostolos Therapis,
former naval officer, now Journalist.
Their attempt to kill Nenizelos was
believed to be part of plot to restore
former King Constantine to the throne.
The police had been warned of the
plot and Venizelos was closely. guarded
as he entered the station. AS the two
assailants began firing, detectives
hurled themselves upon them. Most
of the shots went wild.
Both were disarmed before they
could empty their pistols. The police
had difficulty in getting them away
from the crowd. Venizelos was taken
to a private hospital

Depend Upon Armies.
The government leaders urge faith
fulness and sacrifice on the part of
the people until they can end civil
war and foreign aggression by mill
tary victories. They assert that any
failure which may have attended their
efforts to thoroly establish the soviet
program has been due to backward
ness on the part of the Russian soldier
to foreign interference.
In Omsk, center of the Siberian
grain districts, there is at present a
shortage of bread which apparently
is not due to scarcity of grain. Re
ports indicate it Is the result of boy
colt conducted against the govern
pent by the peasants because they are
not satisfied with the returns they re-
ceived in exchange for products The
situation consequently has resulted in
a shortage OF clothing and other man
ufactured products and textile ma
chinery for the rural population.
Far East Most Liberal.
In the far eastern republic where
a compromise has been made with
features of the Bolsheviki system
there is indication that concessions
would be made in attempts to gain
economic contact with the outside
world thru the orient, efforts to ac-
complish these aims via Europe ap-
parently having met with little sue
cess.
There are evidences in that section
of private right to property. free trade
and invitations for exploitation of the
natural resources by foreign capital.
These steps are said to have been
taken with Moscow's approval and the
new governments foreign minister is
reported in Moscow now for the pur-
pose of obtaining documents giving
Bolsheviki recognition to the repub-
lies independence in commerce and

Terijoki. Finland. Aug. 13.-Devel-
opment of the soviet government in
Russia has been such that today the
vast Russian territory from the Pa
cific to the Baltic is divided into three
distinct sections in the attitude of the
people toward Bolshevism.
In a recent 1000 mile trip across the
entire country from Vladivostok to the
Finnish border, soviet support dimin-

the capital at MOSCOW. where the su-

Siberia Dislikes Soviet.

Siberia the Bolsheviki admit failure to

to create a buffer state known as the

Court May Not Grant
Rate Increase in Kansas.
State Law, Suspended During
War, Again Effeetivel

That the Kansas court of industrial
relations may refuse to grant the rail-
roads rate increases to correspond
with the increases recently granted
by the interstate commerce commits
sion was the intimation made today
when the matter was up for discus
sion with the legal department of the
court. Tne railroads have filed appli-
cations asking that the intrastate
rates be made to conform with the
interstate rates.
Members of the court hold the opin-
ion that it may be beyond their power
to grant any increases in fares be
cause the Kansas rates are fixed by
statute. In 1901 the legislature pass
ed a law fixing the maximum pas
senger rate of 3 cents a mile and later
the legislature fixed the freight rate
on livestock shipments.
When the federal government took
over the railroads during the war
these statutes were suspended. but il
is believed that the statutes are again
in force and that the Industrial court
should not grant increases amounting
to more than the statutes provide, even
