BRITISH AIR FORCES
LaboriteS' Protests Bring
Statement Government Fa-
vorS Armament Cut.
RH the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. February 27.-The House
of Commons last ni3ht passed the air
estimates presented by Sir Samuel
Hoare, the air secretary. and involv
ing an expenditure of Ell, ,319.300.
The secretary declared that a sys
TEN of air defense would probably be
established. such as to make the risk
of attacking Great Britain a very Sc
rious consideration in the mind of
any country. Answering the attacks
of Laborite extremists, he asserted
that the government was just as anx-
ious for a reduction of armaments as
they. The prime minister had au-
thorized him to say that the govern
ment would take the first opportu-
nifty, whether by conference or other
means that could be suggested, to ef-
feet a reduction.
Premier Baldwin, speaking later,
said the foreign Office estimates would
come up for debate March ), when,
If the question of disarmament was
raised, Mr.. Chamberlain, the foreign
secretary, would give all information
possible regarding prospects in Eu-
rope and would state generally the
governments views on disarmament.
SuiI Below France.
Sir Samuel, in introducing the air
creases the British air strength was
still / to as compared with that of
France and it would take several
years to equal France.
The new estimate represents a net
increase of 1927, 800 pounds sterling
over last years estimates, and 1t Is
planned to increase the enlisted per-
sonnel from 35, 600 to $4,000, as well
as to add seven more completely
equipped home defense squadrons to
those in service, making total OF 20.
Phillip Snowden, former chancellor
of the exchequer, declared the Labor
party opposed the estimates on ac-
count Of the heavy cost. He asserted
that France was slowing up her air
progra mand that this to great ex-
tent removed the grounds on which
the British air policy was started
few years ago. lie regretted that Mr..
Churchill, the chancellor of the eX-
cheqIsr, in dealing with France over
war Indebtedness, had thrown away
q valuable bargaining weapon for de-
manding a reduction in French arma
ments.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. February -.
-Travel-worn but triumphant, In
dianas truant Democratic Senators

the expressed determination to rapid
ly catch up in the work confronting
the upper chamber of the State Leg
islature.
1t was a happy crowd of IA men
who crossed the Indiana line from
Ohio last night singing Back Home
Again in Indiana" 1t was still a
happier group when they approached
the end of the long motor ride from
Dayton to the tune of The End of a
Perfect Day
Lieut.. Gov. Harold Van Orman had
remained up and his warm greeting
TO each member added to the con-
fidence that the runaways would not
be subject to fine or other action 1t
also strengthened their feeling that
the congressional redistricting bill
the cause of their revolt and subse-
quent f1ight-would not pass.
The return trip to Indianapolis in
the same motor bus in which they
made their fight was uncomfortable
because of the cold. Singing and jok-
ing helped pass the time. Few stops
were made and the ride was un-
eventful.

GENEVA, February 27.-The ad-
mission of Germany to the League
of Nations will be one of the i'm
portant questions discussed by the
council of the league at it's session
beginning here March 9.
The impression now is that the
question of the protocol of security
and disarmament can not. usefully
be considered at the forthcoming
meeting. 1t is expected that Austen
Chamberlain, British secretary for
foreign affairs, will ask for another
postponement and that the question
will go over until the council gathers
in September to prepare for the an
nual meeting of the league assembly.

TO TALK ON LIBERIA

An interesting feature of the Mission
Week conducted at Emmanuel church
by FIR. Harrison, week of April rs to
May g. will be talk on mission work
in Liberia, Africa, and how the Chris
ton natives (until recently savage pa
gans) enjoyed their Christmas. The
lecture deals with native Process
sion of the Magi' and birth of the
Saviour, showing the profound i'm
preston made upon the hearts of the
natives by Christianity. The observer
was surprised and touched to note how
the colored people caught the story
of the Nativity and to hear them car
ry out the dialog in their native Gb-
andi. And especially beautiful were
the songs of Christmas sung in the
soft voices Of the aborines.
The play was given at night amid
the velvety blackness of the tropics.
In come the Magi to the manager, car
rying native torches. A packing case
is the cradle of the Child. The shep-
herds kneel there in alteration.
While the surroundings and proper
ties of the play were crude the effect
as produced brought tears to the eyes
of the missioner At 9 and at mid
night masses were sung.
This is but one feature of num-
Der of interesting talks to be heard
at Emmanuel church next week
