FRANCE DEBATES
LEAGUE TOPIC
WITH ENGLAND
Herriot Approves Force as
Guarantee of Peace
Briton Opposes 1t,

By United Press
GENEVA. Sept. 5.--France favors
force as a guarantee of peace.
Britain opposes II.
Spokesman for the two nations
voice Numerically opposite views in
debate on security and disarmament
before the League Of Nations as
sembly today.
Premier Herriot Of France de-
clared his nations conviction that
justice required force to back 1t up,
that might was the proper weapon
Eof right.
Lord Parmoor, speaking for
Britain. declared it is imperative TO
abolish force from the league. The
danger Of the mutual guarantee
pact which is the subject of the de-
bate is that 1t is based upon force,
he declared. The speakers were in
agreement otherwise as to the desir-
ability OF world peace and solidarity.
Arbitration. security and dis
armament. all are inseparable." the
French minister insisted. Demand
league covenant, he pledged his
country's support TO help make
peace for ALL provided the power
OF force over injustice was not 8e-
linquished.
Herriot's speech contrasted with
MacDonald's. the Britisher's having
been based more on idealism and in
ternational good will.
France is most happy to see that
England supports the ideas of arbi-
tratfon which France proposed at
London, in conformity with her ira
ditional policy" Herriot said.
Left to Commission
Article XII of the League cove
nant provides for arbitration, and
France wants the principle to con-
tinue, but the project of applying
the same and for creating arbitra-
ton must be left to a commission
of experts.
The French delegates will work
to create the necessary organization
for the project"
The French premier refuted criti-
cisms of the league pact of mutual
guarantee and said his nation would
continue to support the plan.
MY friend Premier Macdonald
was right, however. when he de-
clared that optional arbitration as
provided for by the Hague court
should be referred for definition to
a commission Of experts" Herriot
continued.

NEW TRIAL DENIED
GW||VVETT DEPUTY
ON LIQUOR CHARGE

J. M. Bernard, Gwinnett county
deputy sheriff, who was convicted
last week in United States district
court here of conspiracy to violate
the national prohibition act and sen.
fenced to serve two years in the fed
eral penitentiary, was denied a new
trial by Judge Robert T. Erwin, in
the same court, Tuesday.
Attorney James A. Branch of the
law firm of Branch & Howard, in.
dicated that the case would be car
ried to the circuit court of appeals,
and Judge Erwin granted a sixty
day time limit in which the writ of
error and bill Of exceptions may be
filed He fixed Bennard's bond at
$4,000, and it was promptly made.
Bennards new trial plea was
based on the contention that Sheriff
e. S. Garner and Deputy Sheriff
Howard Garner, the two other Gwin-
nett county officers who were placed
on trial with him under joint in
dictment, were acquitted, and that
the fourth man named in the indict-
ment, A. L. C'Red'O Tosh, had ap.
peared as government witness and
would, in all probability, be cleared
Of the charge.
Judge Erwin, in his ruling, stated
that Howard Garner has been dis
charged for lack Of evidence, Sheriff
Garner had been cleared by the
same jury that convicted Bernard
and that Tosh, If tried and found
guilty, would, in all probability, not
get off without penalty, but that the
court would possibly exercise len
lency In its sentence.

Reporters with Imagination and
time can write any amount of sob
stuff about the youth, for he is a

His thoughts fly from one thing to

ever, without the connecting links
to make them understandable or in
telligible.
A photograph and some records
have been placed in McDowells cell.
When the Associated Press repre-

with her pad and pencil taking down
