Sir Esme Howard
Sees Struggle for
Markets in Future

Chicago. March 17--(AP)-The
next world, In the opinion OF Sir rs
me Howard, British ambassador. will
be a struggle for markets." and will
be waged as bitterly as any that has
ever sprung from traditional hatreds.
national jealousies or territorial am
billions,
The ambassador told the Chicago
Association Of Commerce today that
SO far as he was able to Judge, "the
future peace and happiness of this
planet Of ours lies very largely in the
hands of the commercial classes"
1t is they, he pointed out, by reason
of far flung business interests who
will be deeply and personally involv-
ed.
1T certainly seems to me-" the
ambassador said. that the subjects
which now interest diplomacy have
changed so enormously during the
short 40 years that 1 have had any,
thing to do with the business. that
the outlook Of the various foreign OF :
ffices, or, as you would say, State
Departments of the world, has per-
ceptibly altered.
1.-THE great change that has come
over them. has been the conviction
that economic causes determinate
history and that If you want to find
the cause of trouble, with regard to
individual squabbles, the old French
proverb Look for the woman still
holds good while with regard to con-
f1icts between countries you can gen.
orally say with truth-"Look for the
dollar or franc or the pound, - .
or the goods that you purchase there
with. And this, however much, his
torians have ascribed wars and al
liances, constitutional changes and
revolutions to other causes, we may,
believe, take as being the great
cause of all past disturbances and of
all political reactions"
The ambassador believed that the
questions of frontiers and races are
by degrees settling themselves and
the whole energies of governments
will be bent towards the all-impor-
tant. all-absorbing object of finding
| markets in other countries for the
surplus production Of their own and
of preventing their own from being
swamped by the surplus production
Of the others.

America Sees No
Evidence of European
Desire Disarmament

Washington, March 17-(AP)-On
the basis of information II has re-
ceived the Washington government
is inclined to regard the situation in
Europe as promising neither immedi-
ate nor material advancement in the
direction of disarmament.
The prevailing belief Of informed
government officials tonight was that
the much discussed meeting of the
league of nations preliminary dis
armament commission will be still
further delayed. Such action by the
league council is expected to follow
the pos'ponement until September of
a decision on the admission of Ger
many to membership in the league.
AS regards American participation
in the disarmament meeting, it is
virtually certain that it will remain
assured so long as public opinion
continues favorable. On the other
hand it is realized that the prevailing
sentiment in favor of participation
by the United States may be averse-
ly affected If the disarmament discus
sions are projected still further into
the future
These and other possibilities be-
Cdiilc hIloNH lOGdy despite Jne max
refusal of Secretary Kellogg, AM
bassador Houghton and Minister
Gibson to comment on the arma-
ments situation in any way. The
two diplomats called home for con-
sultation regarding the Geneva pro-
posal for the preliminary meeting,
We're in conference most of the day
with Mr.. Kellogg.
From the information at hand,
Washington u h critic appear
doubtful as to what, if any, real ac-
complishment may finally come out
of the arms discussions in Europe.
Some feel that the governments
which have accepted invitations to
participate do not actually want dis
armament at this time, but will take
part in the deliberations because OF
the obligations imposed by the Yer
sailles treaty.
1t is recalled in this connection
That the treaty in effect pledged the
slgnatories to d disarmament pro-
gram conditioned upon the disarm-
ament of Germany. That Germany
has disarmed now is said to be no
longer doubted.

siderable smoke and the women Of

nation. Nobody was injured, but one

Probe Americans
Part in Alleged Easy
Mexican Divorce Mills

Philadelphia, March 17-(AP)-In-
vestigation Of the operations in this
country Of alleged Mexican divorce
mills by which persons could obtain
easy" divorces in certain Mexican
states, was said to have reached the
state department today with a request
that it ascertain to what extent
American consular representatives
have aided in the granting of divorces
to Americans.
Entrance of the state department
into the Investigation came when pos.
tai inspectors working on the case in
this city learned that a member of
the American consular service in Yu-
catan caused the consulate seal to be
affixed to a divorce decree issued
there.
The investigation here go far has
conferred around George Disharoon.
who in newspaper advertisements Of
fered to obtain divorces through an
agent in Yucatan. The divorces, &C.
cording to Disharoon's announcements,
were obtainable without the usual
publicity and necessary action. and
would cost about $500.
United States District Attorney
George w. Coles was prepared to
question Disharoon today when, he
said, he would decide whether to ask
for warrant for his arrest. The
federal government interest in Dish
aroon has to do with the question
whether in his capacity as an agent in
this country he violated the postal
laws.
According to postal inspectors,
there are a number Of men carrying
on business similar to that Of Dish
arooh's and operating in several OF the
larger American cities. In addition,
their Investigations were said to have
revealed a well organized commerce in
obtaining divorces in other portions of
Mexico. Officials here are in posses
sion of papers giving the names of a
number of the other American agents.

Million Gallons of
Sea Water for Big
Aquarium in Chicago

Chicago. March 17.-(AP)-A bit
of the sea-one million gallons of
genuine ocean water-is to be tram
Sported to Chicago.
George r. Morse, director of the
$2,000.000 Sher Aquarium, to be
erected in Grant Park, is making a
preliminary survey of the Atlantic,
Pacific and Gulf coasts in search of
a favorable spot from which to OBJ
tain the sea water which will mean
life to the salt water fish of the
aquarium.
Synthetic salt water lacks the or
ganic content and chemical corstit-
uents of real ocean water. without
which salt water fish cannot live.
Morse said. The entire shipment will
require 125 railroad tank cars hav-
ing capacity of 5000 gallons each.
The million gallons will be stored i'll
huge reservoir.
'Once we have our full supply of
salt water" Morse stated. I'VE will
be equipped for an indefinite period
since the water can be used over and
over again by virtue of a process of
filtration. Evaporation will take
place but this affects only the water
and not the salt. We will simply add
filtered water.

Ponzi Acquitted of
Mail Fraud, to Face
New State Charge

Jacksonville, Fla, March 17.--fAP)
Charles Ponzi, who was acquitted OF
a federal charge of using the malls to
, defraud in q hearing before U. s. Com
missioner Carl Doble today, will not
conduct any business affairs until aft
er April !, when he is to answer a
state charge Of violating the Florida
real estate law OF 1929. This state
ment was issued tonight by Frank
Brennan of counsel for Ponzi, in
speaking for his client.
Mr.. Brennan stated he probably
would ask for an earlier hearing for
Ponzi as they wished to complete work
OF answering the federal and state
charges as soon as possible. The spe-
cific charge brought by the state
against Ponzi is the alleged failure to
file copy Of the deed Of trust, under
which he sold the lots of the Charpon
Land Syndicate, with the secretary of
state.
At the hearing today William Gober,
United states district attorney, con-
tended that the defendant was guilty
In that he had promised a. 200 per
cent. profit within so days on $40 in-
vestments in Charpon Land Syndicate
in such phraseology as to make the
prospect believe that he would receive
money as profit when In reality
Ponzi only promised to give additional
lots.
Counsel for the defense offered as
evidence, over the objection of the
prosecution, circulars sent out by
Ponzi and certificates of indebtedness
would receive 200 per cent. profit in
60 days in cash or in lots, the pay
ments to be made as the trustee saw
fit.
Ponzi took the stand and explained
in detail the operation of the syndi-
cate and stated that the Rose Maria
subdivision was approved by the Co.
lumbia county commissioners and that
department of Justice agents had told
him his proposition was 'all right
insofar as the federal law was con-
earned
