 PRINTER BE OUS7ED
Kalamazoo Convention Has Resolution Aimed at
 George H. Carter

Kalamazoo, Mich, Aug. Ii P-- A resolution introduced today by Jacob Wagener, delegate from Wash ington, D. C., called upon the Inter national Typographical union, in convention here, to protest formally against the retention of the govern ment of George H. Carter, public printer of the United States. The resolution was referred to the com- mittee on resolutions which will re- port Thursday.
 The resolution said Carter was holding office in violation of the law which says the public printer must be a practical printer and verscd in the art of bookbindtng'.
 His retention is a menace to an efficient, economical and fair public service and the president of the United States Is hereby requested to remove said Carter" the resolution continued.
 Further charges in the resolution were that Carter had lowered the lt term of experience for printers em- pIoycd in the government printing office from four to two years and had established Spy system by which he greatly impaired the print ing efficiency of the office and of the morale of the employees"
 Pensions totalling s923,704 were paid to incapacitated members of the International Typographical union during the fiscal year 1924-25, John w. Hayes of Indianapolis, secretary. reported. Since the pension law was put into effect in 1908 payments have totalled s6,743,017 and there still is a surplus of s949,o00, the re- port showed that earnings in the last fiscal year totalled s152. $50, All 5, an increase of SS,502.SS5 over the previous year. The increase was eX- plained as, due to Increased buSi. ness and increased wage scales"
 The laws committee is expected tc recommend several drastic changes In the pension law when it reports Thursday. Maintenance of the pen sion fund now costs each individual printer about S16.5O a year. The in creased number of pensioners makes it unsafe, sponsors of the proposed change say. to maintain the fund under the present system.

Dr. Rappard of Geneva, Addressing Institute of Politics, Declares Ara bians Will Insist That Zionist Movement Be Ended
By The Associated Presn.

WiIiamstown, Mass, Aug. 11-- Arab leaders in Palestine have pre- dcted that the Jews will either re- linqush their Zionist movement there or be eliminated by gen eral massacre, Dr. William E. Rap purd of Geneva, a member of the League of Nations permanent com mission on mandates, said at the Institute of Politics here today. He was addressing a round table con- ference on the Mediterranean area.
 Dr. Rappard said the Jews in Palestine were emphatically opposed to bolshovism although they were developing agriculture on com munistic basis there. He declared that an international commission to govern Palestine would be 'the worst kind ot anarchy"
 Other speakers testified to the bitterness of the Arabs toward the Jewish population and Zionism. Rev. Marvin Nathan of Philadelphia
 
 Jewish feeling of the Arab popu- lation of Palestine was on the wane. He pointed out that the Jews possess only six per cent of the Arabic land in Palestine. President Harry A. Garfield of Williams college endorsed the Brit ish administration of Palestine un- der the present mandate as "a strong hand that is keeping the peace in the midst of bitter religious animositics" Of the proposal for an international governing commits sion he said:

CANADIAN POLITICAL
 MAP CHANGED AGAIN
Conservatives Swamp Lib- eral Party in New
 Brunswick Elections

st John, N. B.. Aug ii Pl-Com- rlete returns today in New Bruns- wick's provincial election gave the conservative party an overwhelming victory over the liberals, which, coupled with a previous landslide by the conservatives in Nova Scotia in June, has completely changed the political map of the provincial gov ernmcnts Of Canada.
 The three elections held this year have driven from power two liberal governments of long standing and have given the liberals victory In but one province. Saskatchewan.
 Although the Dominion govern IT ent is still liberal, the conserva- tives now hold power in four prov inces, the liberal three and the pro- Srcssive-farmer provinces two. The lineup now Is: Conservative: Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario; liberal: Quebec, Saskatchewan and British Columbia: progressive-farmer: Mani toba and Alberta.
 The conservative victory in New Brunswick gives that party S6 out of the AS members of the legisla- ture, while Liberal Premier P. J. Veniot was the only one of his cabi- net to survive the polls. He will resign soon and give way to J. B. Nj. Baxter, conservative leader.
 The chief issue of New Bruns- wick campaign was the water power developments of the St. John river at Grand Falls under provincial government auspices. The conserva- tivos, opposed to government de- velopment, have threatened 10 can eel preliminary contracts let by the Neniot government.
 The liberals had been Tn power In New Brunswick since 1917.
