Says Some Not Qualified.
Any increase in the number Of per-
manent seats must be examined with
very particular scrutiny, Sir Austen
said. Great Britain. he declared, had
not taken the view that there should
be no additional permanent seats ex-
cept on the entry of Germany, the
United States or Russia.
Discussions on that point had oc-
CURED before. he asserted. Four years
ago Britain supported the claim of
Spain and he saw nothing that would
make the British government change
its attitude now toward the claim in
principle. although he was not now
dealing with the time Of granting such
a claim.
Sir Austen said there were some
states not qualified to hold. permanent
seats but whom IL might be desirable
to have in the council.
He said Britain's guiding principles
were to do nothing to jeopardize the
results of Locarno or that gave any
power the right to say il had been
unfairly treated or placed in a position

Nature Covering
Old Oregon Trail

Kemmerer, Wyo..- Apr. 25-P)--
Nature with her marks of time is
erasing from southwestern Wyoming
the Old Oregon Trail-that road,
which meant the building of a
western empire. with its many tales
of heroism against the redskinned
foe, the tragedy of lost lives of
pioneers and IL il domitable courage
of the early settlers of the West.
The Old Oregon Trail extended
across southwestern wyoming for
100 miles from the Big Sandy river
at Pacific Springs to Cokeville on
the Bear river on the Ideho boundry.
But the Old Trail Is passing.
Now sagebrush covers the old road
which once rumbled with the wheels
of the covered wagon. In many
places the barbei wire fences of the
ranchers have broken across the tran
and in the space left unbroken only
an occasional sheep ranchers wagon
travels.
Memory of the trail is to be pre-
served by a highway, to be known
as the "Old Oregon Trail" across
Wyoming from Granger to Cokeville,
and then to Portland, Ore, but the
new road does not follow the original
path of the covered wagon" cara
