British Resent
Meddling Note
Of Congressme,,
By Associated Press.

~ @aSSOSlatSu I-IeSS.
Lo1tdo. May 7.-only two of the
morning newspapers comment on the
meme randum sent by American con-
gressInen to, Premier Lloyd George
and tile tone of the editorials is some
what resentful against Outside in
reference" in British internal af-
fairs.
ut is an elementary maxim Of the
foreign policy of most nations that
one state department should not in
terefere with the internal affairs OF
another nation," says the Daily
Graphic.
.'No legislator Of any country has
the right to imperil the good rela-
tions'lip between his nation and any
other merely because he wants to
attract votes to himself" The news
paper declares the Irish have the
same redress as given to any other
citizen IL wronged, and points to the
wholesale arrest of bolsheviki in
America as analogous.
Re..establishment of the war time
censorships is advocated by the
Morning Post. Referring to the action
Of the congressman the newspaper
says:
Were Great Britain to pass res-
olutic'n both houses relative to the
freedom Of the Philippines we i'm
agine the foreign office would hear
from 1t very soon"

military operations may be exhumed
anytime after Sept. Is next ends a
long period Of negotiations between
French and American authorities.
The French government desired to
meet the wishes of the American
nation but entertained serious doubts
as to the advisability of removing
the American dead from the zone Of
operations this year owing to labor
and transportation difficulties in
volving the passing Of the bodies over
the railways and highways at time
whers the French population was In
the first stage of its recovery from
the economic and sentimental strain
Of five years Of war. The French gov
ernment feared that the granting Of
such permission to America would
bring. on clamorous agitation from
other nations for similar permission
and that this would hamper the re-
habilitation Of French Industrial con-
ditions.
American officers. however, have
vigorously urged that the number of
Americans in the zone of operations
was relatively small: that the tradf-
tional policy of the United States
was TO return its dead from foreign
SOL ftnd that the American goyern-
saent could y do no less than heed: tha
'pleas of th6ss next OF KIN VINO insisf- )
ed tllat the bodies Of their relstivSp
be returned to their homes.

ing protection and immunity from
molestation from bandit leaders who
control the various areas. When the
traveller asks for an armed guard
this Is. provided-for a consideration.
This guard must be changed when
the traveller enters the area con-
trolled by another military official.
BY following this procedure.
travellers from the province say, the
wayfarer is ordinarily safe, but 1t
happens sometimes that the spheres
Of control Of the leaders overlap and
travellers who have bought protec-
tion in one area are at times attack
ed by bandits whose leaders have not
been appeased.
The consideration required to pro-
vide guard for a traveller IL not
particularly heavy, as 1t is said to be
about 50 cents a day per guard.
Ordinarily travellers who do fall into
the hands of outlaws do not suffer
todily harm, but II is not uncommon
for native servants to be murdered
and cases exist In which foreigners
have been taken and held for ran
som.

Szechuen. Is reached by q journey OF

by a seran chair ride of from ten to

present and prospective shortage OF
teachers, the necessity for large in
creases in funds for the support OF
schools of all kinds and grades, and
the neei for re-adjusting programs
Of education"
Dean Barr believes that with the
elimination Of useless matter from
the school curriculum. already be-
gun, the next stop should be to re-
duce the length Of the school course
in the public schools to ten years.
"This matter has already been
much discussed and appeals to many
as not only feasible but highly de-
sirable." declares Dean Barr in a
statement given out here. I'm this
way we can reduce the cost Of our
school system about one-sixth and
get reorganization that will be in
harmony with the principle that un-
derlies the establishment of Junior
high schools, which are becoming
popular now. Because of the diff
culties under which school boards
are laboring this is a good time to
make the change, which can be made
without additional buildings or
equipment Of any sort.
Those cities which wish to con-
tinue twelve years Of public school
work can offer the first two years OF
college work, this completion Of the
ten years OF elementary-seco
school work, this Of course being
optional. Some can conduct Junior
colleges by charging tuition.
s"Along with this change In the
system should be legislation raising

tering rhe profession which in turn
will automatically dignity teaching
and increase salaries"

rector, representatives of boards of
trade, grain buyers. exporters and
bankers gathered here today to plan
for the re-establishment of an open
market on wheat at the expiration of
the wheat guarantee act on June 1.
The board of trade and other ex-
changes made known they were an
xious to resume trading in futures,
but desired the government to safe
guard the market, particularly
against the pool of foreign markets,
which has been buying grain for ex-
port. The board of trade urged as
remedy that the United States
notify the foreign governments that
the embargo sections of the Lever
act will be used to prevent foreign
manipulation of the market.
Grain dealers desired that the Uni
ted States grain commission use it's
power Under the Esch-Cummins act
to furnish an adequate number of
cars to move grain in season.
