CHINA needs FOREIGN
AID, SAYS COUNCILLOR;
DENIES MILITARISM
(By Associated Pre..,

Wy ASSOCIdte0 frcSdJ
PEKING. Dec. 3o-Charges which
have been circulated in some foreign
countries that China has become a
militaristic nation are denied by DR..
Philip Tyau, councillor OF the foreign
office, in a statement he has just is
sued.
What China today is suffering from
! from is not militarism properly so
called but an overweight Of provincial
military organization in relation to the
general administration. said the
councillor. 1#
China, according to Independent in
vestigation made by several depart
ments during the last few months, has
almost precisely the same population
as Europe-44O, 000, 00O-at least seven
times the population of Germany. II
to the field force permitted to Ger
many by the Versailles treaty are ad-
ded the men in the safety police and
civic guard, and that total is multiplied
by seven, it will be found that the ra-
ito in China is inferior to the ratio
in an admittedly disarmed Germany
In field troops and provincial patrols,
China has 1,500,000
Must Make Changes
That their present organization
and their dependence on military gov
ernors must be changed is granted.
But until a decision can be properly
registered regarding the separation of
civil and military power and until the
degree of provincial autonomy COM
patible with the sovereignty of the re-
public has been settled by parliament
and the government, 1t would be in
Wiling disturbances to attempt change.
4 The greatest enemy today is not
n1ilitarism or provincial militancy but
the low standard of living among the
mass OF the population and the lux,
ury which modern essentials such as.
railways and roads represent because
OF their immense first cost in COM
parative terms. The narrow margin
between existence and starvation is
SO easily wiped out in China's dense
population that when to this problem
is added the problem Of taxation the
work of the government presents tin
credible difficulties.
Credit Aids in West
In western countries well-articulat-
ed credit systems serve to Disguise
postwar problems perhaps greater
than Chinas but in this country they
present themselves in all naketYness
which renders evasion or postpone
ment impossible.
China needs foreign help but it
must be help justly given. She pins
her faith to the League of Nations
and to a dispassionate, non-partisan
settlement Of her issues abroad, be-
cause too often in the past it has been
shown that what is desired Other at
home is not negotiation but 'surren-
der. International generosity will find
a swifter reward here than else

THE usually arbitrary goddess of
 ! fashion is inclined to be tolerant so far as styles in fur garments are concerned. For furs are furs these days-as a diamond is diamond they are bringing startlingly high prices. It does not appear that they are destined to become cheaper, unless something happens to lessen the de- mand, and high prices have failed to do that. Therefore fur piece of any description is 3 possession to be treas ured and everything Is worn from the smallest of chokers that fasten close up about the throat to long and ample dolmans and coats whose prices are stated in five figures.
 Scarfs hold the lead in the smaller fur garments and they are either straight or shaped and may be long or short. Anyone fortunate enough to own one as generous in size as that shown in the picture can wish for nothing more splendid. It is hand- some kolinsky embellished with claws and small tails, lined with crepe-de- chine and provided with pockets at the ends. This scarf is much larger than the average.
 After the scarfs come small capes,

THE STANDARD OIL CON-
 PANY MAKES STATEMENT

The attention of the Standard Oil Company, California;, has been call ed to articles appearing in Arizona newspapers describing meeting near Phoenix, on November 23rd where the Maricopa County Highway program was discussed, which indi- cate that the impression has been created that the Standard Oil Con- pany is in some way concerned in the Maricopa County Highway bond litigation.
 The sole interest of the Standard Oil Company (California) in the .Maricopa County project ended last Spring when the company's bid for furnishing Maricopa County with a certain quantity of Asphalt-a bid called for by the Highway Commis- sion was not accepted.
 This Company has had no part whatever in the litigation in connec- tion with the Maricopa bond issue. The Standard Oil Company, (Califor- nia), has made no effort to inter- fere-nor will it's policy permit such an attempt-with the decision of the people and authorities of Maricopa or any other County, and in the Mar icopa situation has taken no action beyond submitting a bid, and plac- ing before the authorities statements concerning the use of Asphaltum for paving and road building, in the man. ufacture and sale of which the Com pany is engaged.

some of them just railing over the shoulders and others extending below the waist. A fine example of this style of garment is shown at the left of the picture and 1t is made with a graceful shawl collar. Dark mink skins, nat ural or dyed squirrel, mole, sealskin and other short-haired pelts are used for making these chic fur pieces that look just what they are-rich and warm, a luxurious detail suited to any sort of costume.
 At the right of the picture hand some fox scarf, made of single gen. erous-sized pelt, is shown, not because it is new but because 1t holds it's own as a favorite from season to season and is always good style. It is lined with satin and the small head does duty as a fastener. The lower jaw works on a hinge and spring and is made to grasp the fur at any point to adjust it loosely or close up about the throat.

H. Sillon, vice-president of the Guar

Told the silver jubilee convention OF
the National Association of Manu-

Sillon said, is that the desirability
of low prices as an end in itself may
be so exaggerated as to lead to the
attempt to force prices down through
harmful measures for the control of
credit.
The banker spoke at length on in
dustrial unrest, analyzing its effect
on the country's economic condition
and blaming strike fevers for high
living costs and increased rents. He
urged the conservation of our nation

;:LARE.UP OF SECTIONAL
HATE IN CONGRESS

Washington, May 1S.-The most
bitter revival of sectional hatred
between the South and the North
that has occurred in Congress in
many years was witnessed in the
House of Representatives Tuesday
when Congressman Madden of Illi-
nois, Republican, repeated his dec
laration that Generals Lee, Jack
son and other Confederate leaders
were traitors to their flag.
you're a liarw was shouted at
Madden by dozen Southern
Democrats, who advanced threaten
ingly towards Madden. The clash
arose over the question put to Con-
gressman Upshaw of Atlanta by
Congressman Madden last Satur-
lay when the latter interrupted
ne speec!, the Atlanta congressman
r-as making in praise OF the Con,
aderate veterans to ask: "Does the
Gentleman complain because the
,yal neople of the North do not
ay tribute to these men who were
traitors to their country in its
time of need"
Congressman Charles Stedman,
CT North Carolina, aged "a, for
nler major in the Confederate
army and the only remaining Sou
thern veteran in the House, took
ne floor Tuesday to reply to Mad
Gems remarks. "Mr. Madden's re-
marks were an insult to General
Lee and the brave soldiers of the
Confederacy," said Major Sted-
man. "Mr. Madden stands isolated
and alone in a wilderness of his
own creation where he will find
neither comfort nor happiness"
Major Stedman's remarks were
greeted by wild applause from the
Democratic side, many Republicans
also joining in.
Madden then took the floor and
declared he had no apology to
make. He had asserted Saturday
that the Southern men mad been
traitors to their flag.
