by DIR. A. Q. Thomas, superintendent
of schools of Maine. in an address
today at the Illiteracy conference of

rate of 5000 a year. He said a def

read statistics showing that 10000,
600 of the country's population have
had only an elementary education

over 16 years of age, Robert Dcming
director of Americanization in that
state told the conference. 1t was the
only state where iliteracy had in
creased in the last ten Vars. he>said

were attended by a large percentage
of the children's parents.

Warning to France

London, Nov. 25-Foreign Min
lister Curzon's rema rkable address
yesterday in which he declared that
if France pursued an isolated indi-
vidual policy she would not in the
long rum injure Germany and would
fail to protect herself draws charac-
newspapers.
While Lord Curzon's address was
directed primarily TO the Washington
arms conference, it was clearly an
intimation to France of the effect OF
that country's attitude toward dis
armament as voiced at Washington
by Premier BRAND.
The Daily Chronicle. which is close
to the government, in its political
notes, says that the government has
been obliged to take a very serious
view Of the effect Of Premier BrAnd S
Washington speech, and that the is
sues involved are now under con-
sideration by the cabinet.
The Daily News says that the for
cign minister's grave utterance is en-
tircly true.
On the other hand the newspapers
which have consistently favored the
French attitude ~displeased. The
Times says the speech is remarkable
less for what was said than what was
not said. and implies that at was
defence and apology rather than
clear statement of constructive pol

The Morning Post charges Lord
Curzon with venting his spleen on
