and Beaver county, Oklahoma, and
they have worked well together.
County Attorney Parker of Stevens
county and County Attorney Gard

Seward county, and the different
officials each did their part in run
ming down the murderers and gath

the case.
Mr.. Parker retured to his home
in Hugoton Wednesday afternoon,
after everything had been settled,
having been here the greater part
Of the time for the past week.
Other officials have returned to
their home towns also. The case is
now up to Stevens county, insofar
as the present arrests are concerned,

LONDON. June 14.-The failure of
Great Britain and France TO agree upon
a policy as to the expulsion of the

result In renewal OF pressure by Great

1t is pointed out in official circles that
Great Britain agreed to a postponement
OF the meeting at the suggestion OF
France that order should be restored be-

drawing of the Silesian boundary line.

MESOPOTAMIA GOES
TO NEW ARAB STATE
Churchill Announces Policy
of Restoring Old Glory and
Culture of the Race.
BAGDAD WILL BEGAPITAL
Palestine a Grave Problem
With Arabs Alarmed Jews
Will Get Full Control.
BIZ the Associated PNss.

LONDON. June 14.-Great Britain's
new uollcy or replacing the existing pro-
visional native government OF Mesopc-
tamia by the creation OF an Arab state.
which should be built up around Bag
dad and revive the old glory and culture
Of the Arab races. was announced IN
the House of Commons to-day by Win
ston Spencer Churchill. Colonial Sec
retary.
Mr.. Churchill declared that this was
a clear policy definitely chosen and
agreed TO within the whole Arabian
peninsula. and he indicated the belief
that Emir Feisal. son OF the King OF
Hedjaz. would be elected head OF the
new State. Fesal has already left Mecca
for Mesopotamia
Mr. ChurchilIs speech dealt with mid
die Eastern affairs and his visit to
Cairo. He contended that a policy OF
appeasement and friendship alone was
compatible with the British pledges. and
II accepted by the Arab people it was
the best possible solution that could be
reached.
There were no primary or directly
strategic interests concerning India to
justify British retention OF Mesopotamia.
Mr.. Churchill continued. India could
better be defended on its strategic from
tier The British policy was to reduce
its burdens while discharging its obli-
cations by creating a Government which
would be a friend of Great Britain and
might also be friend OF France. An
Arab army would be created for the de-
fence of the new State.
Next October he hoped to reduce the
British occupying army to twelve bat
talions, and when the new state was
created to withdraw all the British
nd tar ps
with the new State.
Mr. Churchill announced that the
Kurds were not anxious to come under
an Arab State: hence Kurdistan would
still be administered by a British COM
missioner. but he hoped II would even
tually join the new State.
Turning to Palestine. he admitted that
this was a gray sr problem than Meso-
potamia. but much smaller in military
sense. The Arabs feared they would be
swamped in few years by Jewish i'm
migration from Central Europe and
Russia and that the Jews would gain
absolute control OF Palestine. He de-
clared however, that these figures were
quite illusory NO Jews would be
brought IN beyond the number that could
be provided for by the development of
the country's resources.
1t was only by securing a real and
lasting peace with Turkey that the pros
pect he held out OF substantial abate-
nent OF the charges falling upon both
countries in the middle East could be
realized In detailed statement of the
military position In Mesopotamia he
showed that with the reductions already
effected the total expenditure for the
current year would be E35. 900. 900, but
he hoped that next year the normal
expenditure in both Palestine and Meso-
potamla would not exceed flo, goo, 900.
