BRITAIN ADOPTS
NEW POLICY IN
China DEALINGS
Urges Decreasing of For
eign Control

LONDON, Dec. 27.-Great Britain
is being forced to adopt new policy
toward China, 1t is indicated by
memoranda made public by the Brit
ish foreign office. The statement de-
clares that control of China by for
eign powers should be decreased
rather than increased and calls on
the other powers to adopt this policy.
Should Be Neutral.
Great Britain believes now that the
correct policy to pursue is to refrain
from becoming associated with any
particular faction in the struggle now
going on in China, and that the pow
ers should be neutral 1t, however,
points out that failure to meet with
sympathy and understanding the
powerful nationalist movement which
has emerged would not respond to
the real intentions Of the powers to-
ward China.
Realize Aspirations of China.
-His majesty's government proposes
that the powers should make it clear
that in their constructive policy they
desire to go as far as possible to-
wards meeting the legitimate aspira-
tons Of the Chinese nation" says the
document
Abandonment of the idea that the
development Of China can only be OBJ
tanned by Intervention of the western
nations Is urged by Great Britain.
The statement says: 1.-THE powers
should abandon the idea that eco
nomic and political development of
China can only be secured under for
eign tutelage and should declare her
right to the enjoyment of a tariff
autonomy as soon as she herself has
settled and promulgated a new ma
tional tariff. They should expressly
disclaim any intention of forcing for
eign control upon an unwilling China"
See Realities.
The statement calls on other pow
srs to consider and realize the ''reali-
ties" in the Chinese situation.
Steps toward revision Of treaties ex-
listing between China and the powers
should be taken Immediately, the
statement says. 1t says that altho
Britain believes treaties should be
lived up to, in the case Of China they
should be adjusted to meet present
conditions. Treaty revision should be
made when government is set up
with power to negotiate, it says.

PLAN CONTINUING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. -CFP)-
Steps to throw into the scrapbasket
legislation designed to give the Virgin
Islands form of government that will
assume the supremacy Of the civilian
branch of the government and to sub
stitute for it bill designed to con-
tinue the present policy of having the
navy officials administer the affairs of
the islands were taken when the
house committee on foreign affairs
listened to proposals to amend bills
already passed by the house.
Sen. Bingham, of Connecticut, and
Martin e. Trench, naval governor of
the islands, testifying before the COM
mittee, stated that it was the con-
census of opinion of the inhabitants
of the islands that the present civil
government under the supervision of
the department of the navy should be
continued The proposed transfer of
the administration of the islands af-
fairs to the bureau of insular affairs
was opposed.
Admits Dissatisfaction.
Bingham admitted that there was
evidence OF dissatisfaction among the
natives with the present government,
which he was defending, but claimed
that the dissatisfaction was due to the
depression which prevails there, for
which he said the government was not
responsible.
Representatives of the American
Civil Liberties Union are attending
the hearings with view to opposing
the proposal to continue the admins
tration of the naval officials, and to
insist on the adoption of the bill as
it passed the house last April.

Pretty soon, of course, the vacuum

We jump out and survey the proposi-

so that the system is ready to work

That's my evidence. That shows
he's been bluffin' about his complete
knowledge of the car. Drivers who
know anything about q car should
know that the vacuum tank can be
refilled by crankin' the engine with
ignition off and throttle closed. Tn
der such conditions. suction is strong
through the pipe connected to the in
take manifold. The tank fills up
quickly.
After that I put aside most posi-.
bilities of natural trouble with the
car and make it plain to the owner
that his trouble is largely due to HIM

never failed me.

Celebrating his point, Mr.. Iseler
writes:
Advantages Gained.
Advantages gained by the use of
the supercharger are increase in
power, mechanical efficiency, fiexi
bility, fuel economy and speed. Fur
thermore, it is possible to build the
engine with a compression ratio that
Is lower than the highest possible
ratio that can be used without de-
tonation and yet obtain a surplus of
power.
owing to the increased quantity
of mixture per charge. it is possible
to open the exhaust valves later. thus
utilizing more fully the amount Of
work available during the expansion
stroke. In the supercharged engine
the mixture Is forced into the cylinder
irrespective of the rate of valve open
ing, hence the lift of the valve may
be more gradual. Moreover, smaller

The idea is for the driver to look
ahead, instead of dividing his atten-
ton or watching only the car in front
of him. 1t would be best to watch
the traffic officers signal, but if this
cannot be seen, then look as many
cars forward as possible and when
there is movements in the line prepare
to move too.

lnattentive Drivers, Club Sec
retary Says, Add Needless
Contribution to Congestion.

Poor pickup applies to many drivers
as we'll as to some makes of cars.
H. NJ. Lucius, secretary of the Auto
mobile Club of Maryland, makes the
above observation i'll discussing the
most effective way the individual mo
torist can help IN eXpediting the move
ment of traffic.
80 many times we zee motorists
engaging in conversation with passen-
gers while at Il Standstill in traffic,
says Mr.. Lucius. Then, when the
movement allows this type Of driver
10 go ahead. he reaches for his con-
trolls and begins TO operate them while
the machine or machines III front of
him draw rapidly away.
Needless Contribution
This is a needless contribution TO
congestion. Why cannot the driver be
prepared to move away Immediately
with the change of the signal?
AN one needs to do is to throw. out
his clutch. put his car into first gear
and be prepared TO step Oh the ac-
cellerator the moment the line begins
TO move. In this way he does not
leave q gap between the car ahead and
his own machine and he influences the
man behind him TO act quicker.
Watch a stream OF traffic move
away some time when the signals are
changed. Most likely you will see the
first man lose several seconds while
he makes the necessary motions. The
next car will stand still even longer.
as it's driver makes sure the other
machine is moving before he puts his
own in motion. And 50 on down the

The men met in the center of
the ring at the opening of the
fourth round, resulting n a heated
exchange of body blows. Lawson
started working on Lynch's body,
using his right and left with equal
dexterity. In the clinches Lawson
was the best man, furnishing Lynch
severely.
Lynch landed stinger to Law
sons body as the fifth started,
Lawson reciprocating by slipping
over a good jab to Lynch's face.
Lynch went down for the count of
four from a blow he protested as
being low. He got up but began
to miss his blows, with Lawson
coolly connecting up for the rest
of the round.
The sixth opened with both men
doing furious mitigating. Law
son continued to slip in uppercuts
that Lynch could not dodge. A
blow sent Lynch to the canvass for
the count, protesting all the while.
Felso raised Lawson's hand, but. an
examination of Lynch showed he
had been fouled and the decision
was given to Lynch.
