WAR WITH JAPAN TALK
British House of Commons Concludes
Debate Which Came Through singa-
pore Naval Estimates.

BY The Associated Press
London, July 20.--Renewed frank
discussion of the possibility of wal
with Japan in the future came to ar
end in the house of commons last
night with the passage, under closure
by a vote OF PIT to 1870 of the naval
estimates providing for strengthening
of the naval base at Singapore.
Most of the opposition came from
liberal and labor members who argued
that the project was not in spirit with
the Washington conference and that
its completion would impel resump-
ton of competition in naval arma-
ment, and SOW the seeds of war. Some
opponents conceded nevertheless that
the spread of Japanese immigration
might be a source of difficulty be-
tween Great Britain and Japan a
generation hence.
These assertions were countered by
Lieut.. Col. l.. s. Amery the first lord
Of the admiralty. who contended that
all the delegates at Washington I'M
derstood that Great Britain reserved
the right to strengthen Singapore
base and that the meridian 10 was
specified in the treaty limiting the
area of it's application to exclude

GRAND JURY X-RAY
 IF BAR POSITION ,
Investigation Of Alleged Un- ethical Practices Will
 Start July 30

Birmingham legal circles will be subjected to a grand jury probe be- ginning on July 30, it was announced Saturday by members of the com- mittee of the bar association in charge of the work of purging the Birmingham bar of unethicaI practi- tioners. Although the grand jury will organize and be empanneled on Monday. July g, it will remain in ses- sion only one day and will not take up the probe of the Birmingham bar.
 At meeting of Jefferson county attorneys, held in the courthouse more than a week ago, a committee was appointed to push the work of freeing the bar of these unethical practitioners and secure evidence to place before the grand jury when it convenes on July 9. This committee has held two meetings and it is un- officially stated that evidence has been secured indicating that approxi- mately ten lawyers are using unethi- cal means of obtaining cases.
 As yet no special prosecutor has been named to assist Jim Davis. solicitor of Jefferson county, in the grand jury investigation, and it is  thought in legal circles that the reg ular county legal staff will handle the matter.
 All lawyers indicted by the grand jury will have to face criminal pro- ceedings, as the code of Alabama classifies "ambulance chasing" and unethical means of securing cases as misdemeanors.
 Disbarment proceedings against Fred Fite. who was charged with hiring runners" to obtain damage suits for him, were brought in the civil division of circuit court by the bar association. Fite was acquitted by jury. but the bar association appealed It's case and is now await ing hearing on it's appeal.
 The committee appointed by the bar association to assist the county au- thorities in purging Birmingham le- gal circles of unethical attorneys is composed of F. H. Cabaniss, chair man; l., J. Haley, Frank Dixon, Frank Spain, w. M. Woodall and Jim C. Smith
