Leon Bourgeois of France, In the

was no reason for the league to be
alarmed by the coming disarmament

that those who are outside as well as
those who are inside the league have
the right to occupy themselves with
the great question of disarmament.

dents of the American press as evil

States has in the league.
Referring to the dissatisfaction of
Sweden with the Aland Islands award,
made under the leagues Jurisdiction,

Pearson

st. Paul, September 14.-Thousands
of Minnesota dollars each year-are
flowing out of the state into the
hands of operators of stock selling
schemes as result of the use OF the
long distance telephone, as well as
sales by mail, f. E. Person, secretary
of the State Securities commission
said today.
Mr.. Person urges that federal ex-
animation be passed to give the peo-
pie of states having blue sky laws.
protection against out of the state
stock selling concerns. Protection
pow is given to Minnesotans against
Stock selling concerns in Minnesota,
but through the lack of adequate
federal blue sky legislation, promoters
to doubtful enterprise outside of the
state use the mails and long distance
telephones to carry their stock SELL
ing campaign into Minnesota.
Many promoters have taken to the
long distance telephone as a means
Of stock selling. A long distance
telephone call generally has the effect
of disarming the prospective pur-
chaser from suspicion, Mr.. Person
said, as he considers that any per-
son who uses the expensive long
distance telephone call, has some
thing worth while to say.
