In the last six months of 1t (though
he did not, of course, know that 1t

KeIlogg's Statement.

Secretary KeHogg's statement fol-
lows:
1--WE have been engaged with the
President with regard to the situation
in China, the foreign debt question and
some other departmental matters. The
conference in relation to China had
reference TO matters of policy. The
corner stone Of that policy, so far as
this government is concerned, may be
said to be a scrupulous observance of
the obligations to China entered into
at the Washington conference and the
insistence that the government of
China take adequate measures for the
protection of foreigners and TO carry
out her responsibilities under the
treaties
There is nothing new in the debt
question. We were discussing the gem
eral situation and a settlement is pro-
crossing satisfactory"

major world powers to adopt a unified
policy calculated TO bring peace and
justice to China will be called by the
United States within three months.

nine-power pact of the Washington
conference will be called to it. They

in the summer White House for hours.

Old Theory Shattered

Prof Franz Wutz of Germany has
collected what he calls newly found
facts about the Hebrew Bible. He has
with his claims shattered the old
theory that the Greek Alexandrian
translation of the Old Testament
known as the Septuaginta, is derived
from original Hebrew text He says
the Septuainta is largely a reproduce
ton of Hebrew words written with
Greek letters and that as early as 200
B. G. Jewish scholars utilized Greek
Hebrew texts for their TRANSACTIONS
into Greek. His claim opens up an en-
tirely new vista on old biblical litera-
ture.
