Dire Want Has Become a Disease Which Is Sapping Vitality Of That Country
By CHARLES M. M'CANN (Leased Wire to The Age-HeraldI

LONDON. Nov. 26.-Nominations are in for the British general cleo ton. campaign oratory is at it's height personalities, foreign policy and tariffs are argued exhaustively, but behind it all the real, throbbing issue in Great Britain today remains unchanged. That issue is the men, ace of unemployment. ~
 Serious unemployment throughout the British Isles was one of the main causes of the election. The conser- vative party, now in power, proposes a protective tariff as the only prac- tical solution of the problem created by idle men.
 Unemployment over here Is some thing more than an ordinary prob lem. It has become a disease that is sapping the vitality of the coun- try. For four years it has ben go- ing on. Perhaps it reached it's cl1- max in 1921, when nearly 2,000, ,00O workers were idle; now there are about 30o,000 out of work, and the number is expected to be increased by 100000 or so this winter.

People Slowly Starving.

People are slowly starving owing to unemployment; whole towns are becoming depopulated by emigration to the United States; unemployed men have ceased to demonstrate and wave red flags from a distance at the government offices in Whitehall, and have settled dewn grimly, al most hopelessly apparently deter mined to stick it out. ;,
 The government is paying cut, un- der contributory unemployment in- surance scheme, over S200, Quo. 000 a year to out-of-work men and women. Up to June 30,. s640,00O, 900 has been paid out in two and one-half years.
 In addition, local authorities in
 every town are helping to relieve the unemployed. There are many road building and other projects to take care of some of the workers. The government is cooperating with railways and other utilities in eX- tension schemes.
 Every remedy has been tried and has failed--except protective tariff

are a levy on capital and national
 ization of railways and mines.
 Some people blame unemployment
 on France, charging her policies have l kept Germany and consequently
 Europe disrupted. Others say that the
 disruption of Germany has prevented worse unemployment through Germ Tn competition. Some think it foolish of Great Britian to be paying off her
 war debt of s5,000, ,000,OO to the United State while other allies owe Great Britain that amount and are either unwilling or unable Cor both)
 to pay.
 This was the situation when the | imperial conference met. No sooner had the conference opened than there came to the front the question of imperial preference-of favoring dominion exports to Great Britain and British exports to the dominions against those of foreign competitors, i by means of reduced tariffs for empire goods or increased tariffs for foreign goods.
 A news story about the imperial conference at the time it met said that if the conference was a com plete success it would mean the even tual elimination of the United States as a competitor of. the dominions
 The conference has not been a sue cess; the British people refused, as soon as the question was raised, to sanction preference for foodstuffs- wheat and meat, particularly-on the ground that it would mean increased prices.
 But, with the question once raised the tariff fight was on. While the politicians argue furiously for and against protection hundreds of thou sands of men manifest but little con cern in tariffs. All they want is a job and some food. Any system that provides these two items will win the support of the multitude. So far the system has not been discovered CANDIDATE LISTS AREIN LONDON, Nov 26.-A total of LAP candidates of all parties were nom- mated Monday for the general elec- tions to the House of Commons, De- cember 6.

 Many conflicting reports of details of the capture of the Tomako were heard at different government of- fees. Assistant Collector of the Port Barnes said the official report of the cost guards declared that Lieutenant l.. W. Perkins, the board ing officer, had been threatened with machine guns. which then were turned on the coast guard cutters, Seneca and Lexington. This, it was said came after Lieutenant Perkins had been put aboard the schooner to bring her to shore and Mccoy had given orders to run to sea. An other report had il that machine gun and an automatic rifle were displayed but not fired.
 Mccoy denied that firearms were on board, or that there ever had been on his ships, although coast guard officials reported that the Tomako had fired on government boats in other chases.
 Mccoy said his present American home was in Daytona, Fla, and his business home in Nassau, in the Bahamas. In Nassau, he said. he formed what is known as the British Transportation and Trading com pany, of which he is general man. ager. The business of this company. he said, was to charter all the ships of British registry they could and use them for transportation of liquor.
 But everyone of them was eau toned stay out of American waters" he said
 After reading some of the news paper accounts of the Tomako's seiz- ure, Mccoy laughed and remarked that some were trying to picture him as a busccaneer with flowing mus taches, red kerchief about his head and a cutlass in his teeth"

 When Henri Franklin -Bouillon reached smyrna, on September 2S. Mustapha Renal met him in the har- Dor, kissed him on both cheeks and said. You have been long coming" On September 22. after the British refusal to withdraw from -Chanak, the French cabinet had decided to despatch Franklin Bouillon to Tur- key. In acknowledgment of the pro- jected visit the Turkish leader wrote: T await your arrival-Your friend. Mustapha Kemal.'' So the French diplomatist. pleased at the triumph of "le bon sens," boarded the Metz, swiftest of cruisers, and pro- ceeded to Anatolia. It was familiar ground; the year before he had con- eluded at Angora the Franco Turkish treaty, which gave over to Turkey in exchange for commercial privileges territories that the allied powers had intrusted to France as mandatory, The conference at Mu- dania, which grew out of this new meeting with Mustapha Renal, was by no means a love feast, and when it soon came to a deadlock because of Ismet Pasha's insistence on the immediate occupation of eastern Thrace by the Turks, there were queries, both English and French. as to the status of M. Franklin Bouillon. civilian. at military conference. and ironic comments on his per- fervid temperament. Soon the atten- tion of the world was focused on tho gradual rapprochement3b between Gen- eral Harrington and Ismet Pasha. but in the view of M. Franklin. Bouillon the acceptance of the ar- mistice convention was in the last analysis due to Mustapha Renal. who had imposed his own will upon the great national assembly at An- gora, and to France, ''who alons knew how to talk to Turkey" NJ Franklin -Bouillon is, said modestly to have ranked himself as entitled to place among the great peace makers of the world"

an unpublished poem by Maxcy APP
plegate, ST., entitled
GENERATION TO GENERATION
Weirdsome night follows mystic day
But brings no sorrow to the wood,
But with happy hearts united,
Smiling happily there they stood.
Like dew drops falling lightly
Over hills and valle,s wide,
Like flowers unfolding brightly
Blushing softly at their side.
Their bright eyes seemed~so happy
AS sunbeam kissed each brow,
But the shade could not discover
Aut but happy visions now.
Standing there in rapt'ous gladness.
While the world, SO bright and gay,
Gives to them no solemn lesson
On their happy wedding day.
Golden hours look bright before them
( DAYS and years with careless wiles,
Glide s. swiftly ere they waken
From their dreams Of love and staiies

If careful planning and hard work
mean anything, the clase of the 1928
campaign for the sale of Christmas
Seals should see Monmouth County
first in per capita sales for the fourth
successive years. AS has been the
case in former years, the campaign is
being conducted by the Monmouth
County Organization for Social Service,
and campaign headquarters IN Red
Bank is an exceedingly busy place at
present. During the next few days
approximately $4,000 letters viii be
mailed to former givers and new mail
ing lists. The main campaign is
conducted by mail and later great
deal of work is done IN each district
by the school children and other local
workers. A general campaign Of
education on tuberculosis is conducted
throout the campaign.
In 1919 the sales amounted to q little
over "a, 900, 90. In 1920 the Organization
for Social Service brought the county
into first place In the state In per capita
sales and the lead has been held ever
since. Last year the sales reached $14,-
10000. Friendly rivalry is keener than
ever this year and strenuous efforts
will be made by other counties to
take the lead away from Monmouth
