erett Johnson Tells Belle
fonte Club Members.

That X is a disgrace TO the state OF
Delaware to admit q condition OF az
fairs that result in Law Enforcement

casion was regular meeting OF the

Community Spirit" He said the true
demonstration of community spirit
was an illustration OF American ideals;
that in times OF stress it was the
communities OF this country who raj
lied with a community spirit, which
when united for a common purpose
made them one community: that II
was this spirit Of cooperation, one
with another in a community. and a
general pulling together for the uni
versal good that made II possible for
communities TO progress and be sue
cessful in it's affairs.
Referring TO education and the pub
lie schools of Delaware. the speaker
became emphatic. He said that Della
ware was the first state TO aid the
Belgian children after the war through
contributing its quota to feed and
'clothe them; that 1t was the first
state through the Red Cross to aid
the French children when they We're
In need, "but In regard to our own
children. where in Gods name do we
stand?" he asked.
Commenting on Law Enforcement
Week. Mr.. Johnson said that the whole
physique of America was built on law
enforcement. He said that il the
schools taught law Enforcement mora
strongly and leading citizens lived II
there would be no need to have an OBJ
servance such as he considered Is dis
sraeing Delaware this week.
We need to have Law Enforcement
Week" he said, because men In high
places scon at the law and because Of
ficials wink at it."

Genoa. April 25.--Foreigu Minister
'Tchitcherln, Of Soviet Russia, declared
10 the Associated Press today that
Allied resistance 10 the Russian prin-
ciple Of naturalization was blocking
the economic conference.
"It is obvious" he said. that the
only serious obstacles TO peace with
Russia and general reconstruction are
the pretentions Of few former own
ers Of property in Russia"
The Russian minister's statement
was called out by the high tension de-
veloped over Russia's claims, which
are considered in some quarters as
threatening to disrupt the conference.
There is no difference between our
official proposals OF April "a and my
letter to Mr.. Lloyd George Of April 20. ~
said NJ Tchitcherln we merely ex-
planned and developed the fourth
phrase Of our note, Cthat dealing with
the restoration Of property 10 foreign
ersD. In my letter 10 Mr. Lloyd
George il was said we could restore tu
foreigners who were former owners,
tho use Of their property where it was
possible. In our proposals yesterday
we explained I'm detail that this was
possible only I'm cases where our social
and economic system and our funda-
mental laws permitted it.
Russia has gone far in its CON
cessions, but IL cannot return to the
old social and economic system. We
are faced with the great work Of re-
construction and general pact
against aggression. IL Is only the pre-
tentions OF very small body Of for
mer owners of property in Russia that
stand between us and these aims"

Bus owners and operators this morn

the Street and Sewer Department TO
ask that certain provisions OF the

regulating the bus traffic on the street.

vehicles could use some of the streets
In the busines- section OF the city,
also that the amount Of idemnity In

after listening for sometime TO their
changes should be made promised TO
give the matter consideration and 10
let their counsel know their decision
tomorrow morning. The board will
have "A conference this afternoon on
the subject and while none OF the
directors was able 20 forecast what
their decision would be Il was the
general sentiment that the resolution
will not be changed. IL was said the
members of the board had gone into
the subject very thoroughly before
the resolution was ever passed and
now that Il has become law they
consider IL for the beSt interests OF
the public OF the city and that they
VIII hardly consider any changes at
this time.
Alexander Jamison, as counsel for
several of the bus men. Informed the
board that he and Philip L. Garrett
and David Reinhardt are associated
In this matter. He did not question
the jurisdiction of the department in
passing a resolution regulating the bus
traffic. but he did think there was some
legal limitation upon the discretion
the department can exercise. He said
the first objection OF the bus men is
TO section two OF the resolution which
forhids them the use Of certain streets
In the business section OF the city.
Mr.. JaInison contended' the buses
are public convenience and they
have a right 10 the use of the streets
subject TO the proper regulation. The
bus men feel that there should be some
modification TO this section so the
busses would not be entirely elimin-
ated from the business section Of town.
TX the directors think that the busses
should not use Market street he said.
the bus men agree with the board
but they would like to have some CEN
trail parking place where they could
stop for few minutes and pick up
and discharge their passengers. Their
suggestion was to so amend the reso-
luton as 70 permit the busses to use
517 Shipley street as the parking place
for most of them.
Mr.. Jamison said the resolution as It
now stands Injuries the bus men and
is without any benefit TO the public.
He declared there is no public demand
that the busses be restricted from the
business sections Of the city but there
Is a large portion of the public. he

should be modified to the extent asked
for by the bus men. He did not know
