IfEAGUE HEARS ] TREATY DISPUTE
First Round Of England Turkey Wrangle Ends
 In Draw
(By Associated Press)

BRUSSELS, Oct. 27.-The wisdom of saying precisely what one means, especially when it comes to treaties and other diplomatic documents, was driven home to statesmen today when they gathered in Brussels for the opening of the special session of the council of { the League of Nations. The first round in the Mosul status yuo frontior
 dispute between Great Britain and Fur
 key, which the council was convened to settle, ended in draw, with both sides looking as if they wished to shake hands and call off the fighting
 5 However, everybody present was con
 vinced that the Lausanne treaty was
 loosely drawn, not only regarding Mosul,
 but probably also in the case of its special annex convention, which is quite vague in it's terms. touching the man gner in which the compulsory exchange
 of populations between Greece and Fur key should be carried out.
 Fethi Bey, for Turkey, in a spirit .of compromise, agreed to accept the English contention that the status quo of the frontier should be that wich ex-
 isted on July g, 1923, the date on
 which the Lausanne treaty was signed, but he entirely differed with Great Britain as to just what that frontier was. He charged that England had occupied territory when the Lausanne treaty was signed and cited particular fly the town of Sulveymanie as a new acquisition of Great Britain.

"Sancho-P Panza," the big spectacular comedy in which Otis Skinner will ap- pear at the Jefferson theater three nights, beginning Thursday, with a matinee on Saturday also, contradicts the mistaken idea that costume piece cannot be funny. There is more laugh ter, more wit and humor in this drama of old Spain than in many modern farce. Dapple, the donkey provides mo- ments of broad burlesque. And besides the fantasy and foolery, there is the rich humor of MT. Skinner's character ization of the always hungry goat-herd, Sancho, who suddenly finds himself on a throne.
 For the play "Sancho Panza," writ ten by Melchoir Lengyel, the well known Hungarian playwright, is based on certain episodes in Cervantes' Don Quixote" that gold-mine of humor and romance, which are exclusively con- cerned with the merry adventures of the Don's squire, Sancho. The period in

Stable Ireland

HE Ireland which Eamonn De Valera
re-enters is far more tranquil, more
prosperous. more hopeful country than
that from which he was immured nearly a
twelvemonth ago as political prisoner of
the Free State. Civil strife has given place
to contented patriotism Want and democrat
ization have found effectual remedy in
steady work. Despair that liberty and order
could dwell side by side has yielded to grow
ing evidences of their firm union. All this
has come to pass during Mr.. De Valera's
confinement and despite his previous efforts
TO prevent it.
That the Free State, AGAINST which he
waged his war of radcahsm, has seen fiji
TO release him is notable proof of its feel
Ing of stability. If there were likelihood OF
his being able to stir up another formidable

FEEDING Future Millions

THOUGH Earth is an oldsh planet, IS
human reckoning goes, with a popula-
ton that mounts swiftly toward the
two billion mark, she ST has enough I'M
narrowed land to feed her multiplying chill
dren for ages to come. Japan is commonly
supposed to be overcrowded and to be facin g
lean-lardered future Yet in the tropical
sources ample to supply the needs not only
of Nippon, but also of China and the Philip
pines and other countries of eastern Asia.
So, at least holds the distinguished sci
enlist, Dean E. D. Merrill, of the College OF
Agriculture of the University of California.
Borneo, Sumatra, and New Guinea, he points
out each is larger than Japan proper; yet
their aggregate population is less than nine
million, as against her seventy million. More
over, Java, though not third the area OF
Japan, supports population half as numer-
GUS so fertile is the islands soil. Touching
the Malay archipelago, Dean Merrill says
that unless one has travelled in that region,
ones notions as to it's extent are likely to be
hazy. eff map of the archipelago be drawn
to the same scale and placed over map Of
the United States, the northern end of SUI
matra would appear on the coast of northern
California, Oregon, or Washington, while a
large part of the great island of New Guinea
would extent into the Atlantic ocean. To
these vast undeveloped areas may be added
large regions in the Malay peninsula and the
Philippines. 1t would seem desirable to de-
velop some of these regions as basic food pro
ducing areas, and this development may be
forced, in the not distant future, by changing
economic conditions"
We of spacious America find 1t hard to
imagine the congestion in Old World coun-
tries. Against Asia's population of 53.5 per
square mile our continent has only 1873.
Against Japan's 295.33, the United States
has only $3.50. The density of Europe's
population is 1929 to the square mile; for
Holland it is 544, and for Belgium $50. In
England, whose area is approximately that
of Georgia's, there are FOL persons to the
square mile whereas in our State there are
only 49, Moreover, hardly third of Geor-
gias agricultural lands are yet improved.
What an important part should play in
helping the worlds pot to boil!
