CURZON SPEECH AIRED
BY A. G. GARDINER.

London. Oct. 13.-Premier Bruce
of Australia is the man of the hour.
His declaration at the Imperial
Conference in favor of imperial pref
erence has revived the embers of n
great controversy, which had grown
cold since Joseph Chamberlain's fam
Gus protectionist crusade.
The free traders in England have
resisted all attacks for three quar-
tiers of a century, but the results of
the war and the slump in British
industry have awakened new hopes
in the protectionist party.
From all sides demands are being
made for tariffs on imported goods.
The silk manufacturers want pro-
lection against French competition.
The, lace manufacturers of Not
tingham and the wooden manufactur-
ers of Yorkshire are putting forward
the same claim.
The farmers are organizing a most
powerful campaign in favor OF a'tax
on food.
Imperial preference is a side. issue
Of the protectionist controversy.
The English farmer has no enthusi-
asm for the idea for the only things
the overseas dominions have to offer
are meat, corn and wool. which COM
pete with him.
Moreover, the dominion manufac-
turers show no disposition TO place
British manufacturers on the same
footing as their own.
The present government cannot
touch the preference or protectionist
issues boldly. having given an under
taking at the election not to do so
Tax on Food Planned.
The view prevails in some quarter:
that the government contemplates go
ing to the country for a mandate t
deal with the question, but this i
unlikely.
The subject is far too prichy t.
be lightly handled.
Imperial preference involves a ia!
on food, and in the present circum
stances of the British working elias
that would be an unpopular cry.

the industrial centers. and with .
. 100000 men unemployed. a campaig

The other outstanding events of the
Imperial Conference to date is Lord
Curzon's speech on France and the
Ruhr.
He threw little light on the mys-
terry of Prime Minister Baldwin's
visit TO Premier Poincare, but his
statement that England is waiting for
the next step to be taken by France
is taken as an idication that England
has gone out of business in Europe
and left the field to NJ. Poincare.
The fact is that the French premier
has been allowed so much rope and
has built up such a dominating mill
tary position that the time has gone
by to effectively check him and the
Curzon note, being belated, has fiz
zled out in humiliation and contempt
The prestige of Lord Curzon, as
well as the prestige of the country
now is at its lowest ebb. The pub
lie watches the progress of the Ger
man debacle- bopelessly while Premier
Poincare tightens his grip on th'
Ruhr and the proclamation of ;
! Rhineland republic is awaited.

varia gathers strength as the col
lapse of the Berlin government be
comes more manifest.

French Want Cash.
Meanwhile, the question whether
NJ. Poincare can deliver the goods be.
fore the French elections in the spring
excites much interest.
The French peasant wants cash and
if M. Poincare fails to pBOdice cash
the judgment will go against him.
With politics in allegiance, the pub
lie turns to other occupations. includ
ing the publication of Winston
Churchills new book on the war. in
which he defends his part in the Oar
danelles campaign, reserying most OF
the glory for himself and transferring
the blame to other shoulders.

A more pleasant topic of public
discussion is the first production al
Birmingham Of Bernard Shaw's play

TOL0AN MILLIONS
Credits to Keep Little Entente

PARIS, November S.-One OF the
first acts Of the French parliament.
when it convenes week hence, is ex-
pected to be the voting of credit ad-
vances totaling a billion and a half
francs to JugosIavia. Poland and Ru
mania, for the purchase Of military
and reconstruction materials in
France. This sum includes previous
advances which have been voted by
the chamber but not by the senate.
s Practically no parliamentary oppo-
sition is expected. France, in dire
financial straits, can i'll afford addi-
tional burdens of this sort, but the
expe nditures are considered absolute
ly essential in connection with the
nations foreign policy.
Rejection by the United States Of
the Versailles treaty, the league Of
nations and the Franco-American
pact, together with the rejection by
Great Britain of the Franco British
guarantee pact, and the subsequent
chickering's of French and British
diplomacy, have given the French
people the impression that their only

O'Clock this morning, eight or ten
bandits blew the safe of the Ogden
State Bank and escaped with $4,000
in cash and an undetermined amount
in Liberty bonds and other valuables.
All telephone and telegraph wires
leading into the town were cut.
The bandits posted guards at the
principal corners of the town, while
the robbers began work. The first
blast aroused a number of residents,
some of whom ventured down the
main streets, but they were stopped
by shots from the guard. The town
marshal, from behind a tree, eX-
changed a number of shots with the
bandits.

WHALE ANTEDATES

Jawbone Dug Up by Harrington
Makes Ancient Human Look

By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
SANTA BARBARA, Calf, November
S.-Dr. J. p. Harrington, who is busy
here digging out ancient bones, yester-
day received a jawbone Of a toothed
whale, which he says is so old that it
makes the ancient man he found look
modern.
The whale lived far back in geological
times, certainly millions of years before
the low-bfewed man whose skull was
found few days ago came into exist
ence.
The jawbone, which is we'll preserved,
was dug out Of a cliff close to the
ocean, near here. 1t was presented to
DR.. Harrington for the Smithsonian In
stitution. DIR. Harrington plans a search
to find the remainder of the ancient
whale, as no excavation has been done
where the jaw was, found. The section
Of bone Is about four feet in length and
contains many teeth between twelve
and fifteen inches long and as large as
a good-sized cup. The whale Is esti-
mated to have been not less than thirty
feet in length.
The discovery is regarded by the
scientists here as proving the antiquity
of this coastal region and affordir,g a
fruitful field for further investigation.

HOPE FOR COMPROMISE ::
SEEN BY BOTH PARTIES
Present Jockeying Held Good
Sign-Neither Wants Blame
for Deadlock.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Where there's conversation there's
hope That's the status of the nego-
tiations between the United States
and France as to the conference of eX-
perts which shall make recommenda-
tions on the problem of German repa-
rationS.
Premier Poincare has been given
the viewpoint of Secretary Hughes in
greater detail, and it remains to be
seen whether the French premier will
find in Mr.. Hughes explanation the
guarantees he wants.
What the French government has
asked for is a specific guarantee that
the conference of experts will not
ask France to reduce the amount of
the German debt as covered in the
so-called "a" and B. bonds, which
amount to about six and a half billion
dollars. The question of Germany'S
present capacity to pay, which has
been the technical stumbling block,
involves something of far greater i'm
portance to the French than appears
on the surface.
Looks Into Future.
II. Poincare takes the position that
the present capacity of Germany to pay
her debts is admittedly not at great as
it will be, and he wants to prevent the
making of a report by a commission
which will require France to make con-
ceSsions. The public opinion of France
is represented as very nervous over the
prospect Of another conference which,
like all others preceding, might resolve
itself into a question of reducing the
mr. 20
in advance that reduction was not to
be discussed, but that the capacity of
Germany to pay was to be determined
with an idea of compelling German pay
ments, then the French would agree.
On the other hand, Premier Poncare
is unwilling to take the responsibility
before the world of breaking down the
only parley in which the United States
years He thinks some useful things
can be done by the conference, and he
would rather have the United States
withdraw-if the parley breaks down
than have France refuse.
Under these circumstances, the
jockeying back and forth between
London and Paris is proceeding with
an idea of working out compromise.
but with a knowledge that full pub
licity probably will be given to the ne
gagotiations when once they do break
down, so that the French and American
governments will be judged accord
ingly.
Pressure Felt Here.
President Coolidge and Secretary
Hughes have felt the pressure from
American business interests for the
extension of helpful hand to Europe.
They know they must justify before
American public opinion any with
drawal or recession from the position
adopted at the outset. Premier Poin-
care on his part must prove to French
opinion if he accepts the proposed in

College Girls
Growing Taller,

the A6SOCl1LeQ frcSs.
NEW YORK, November s.-The
college girl is growing. Since 1884
she has sprouted an average of one
and three-tenths inches. She also
is putting on weight, her waist
measurement is larger and even
her lung capacity has improved.
These advancements are based
on statistics compiled at Vas
sar College by Miss Mabel New
conner, economics department, from
measurements taken by the de- !
partment of physical education
The figures show that from 1884
to 1920 the weight of college girls
increased from 1898 to 1853. The
waist measurement dropped from
25 to % from 1884 to 1896, stood
still for ten years. then gradually
increased until it reached 25 once
more.
Improvement in physical con-
dition was attributed to the in
creased interest in athletics.
