Sudan Cotton and u. S.
Intrigue Riles Lord

LONDON, July 16.-Lord Lloyd, the
British high commissioner to Egypt, is
due to make an interesting report to
the cabinet when he arrives here from
Cairo.
Lord Lloyd has an attack to make
on the foreign diplomats in Egypt, par
ticularly the American minister, for
"unjustified meddling in the internal
affairs of Egypt"
Altho the condominium agreement
between England and Egypt says that
the British governor of Sudan is de.
pendent on Egyptian authority, Lord
Lloyd refuses to abide by this treaty.
He insists that the Sudan is the future
treasure house of the British empire,
producing enough cotton to make
Great Britain Independent of American
cotton.
Lord Lloyd is also opposed to the
withdrawal of British troops from
Egypt, where they stay only by force,
since by the treaty Egypt is an indie
pendent nation and has demanded
their withdrawal.

GENEVA, July 15.-EVeryone In the
League of Nations feels a sense Of relief
at the information that neither Roumania
nor Bulgaria will bring their recent
Nations council.
But there are reasons. Roumania wants
no trouble with the league because she
wants the league to give her part OF the
territory of Pennsylvania. Bulgaria wants
no trouble with the league because she
wants some league power to loan her
SIS, 200, 900. And the League Of Nations
itself wants no trouble from either
Roumania or Bulgaria, because Il has
enough trouble elsewhere, with Brazil

The Franco-American debt nego-

today.

several days ago for liquidation OF
the $4,000, 900, 900 debt were not sat.

mission waited today to receive a
new proposition. but none was
forthcoming, and the meeting adj
journed in 10 minutes.
Despite Paris announcements that
Ambassador Berenger was fully
authorized to negotiate q settlement
it was found necessary to refer the
situation back to Paris by cable and
obtain authorization for the submits
sion of the better terms which the
American Commission has de-
manded.
The difficulty is understood to be
that Berenger was not authorized
to offer anything better than $685..
OOO, 900 a year for the early years
of the proposed agreement. This
was entirely unacceptable to this
Government, it being pointed out
that Joseph Caillaux last October
proposed annual payments Of $4O,-
000, 900 a year for the first five
years, although in other respects
M. Caillaux's offer was not SO sat

from within; artificial restraints
from without.
These artificial restraints based
on fear, hate and violence are pass
ing. They no longer restrain.
Through real education and reli-
gion we must substitute the natural
restraints that come from within.
AS Mr.. Hearst SO well says:
I'VE must adopt another and bet
ter system"
That system must be along the
line of knowing how, through
science and education. to overcome
evil with good as Christ taught, and
not through a continuation of the
brutal methods Of the past.
In a word, the lesson to be
learned with reference to the con.
duct Of people, as well as nations,
is how wisely and well to fight evil
more, and people less.
Mr.. Hearst has sounded the
trumpet call to sane and sensible
action in fighting the causes Of
crime. Again he has proven his
wisdom and real value to the cause
Of truth and justice. Again he has
earned a nations gratitude.
Judge BENJAMIN Barr Lindsey,
writer, lecturer, promoter Of the

humanity and protection of the

All of his life he has been a

Brown, noted scientist of Yale

This skidding or wobble is not
due to outside forces. but to the
earth itself, Doctor Brown ex-
planned. When the earth changes
its shape, it changes its rate of
spinning.
There is no cause for immediate
alarm, however. Doctor Brown as.
sumed. For ages it has been up
to the same trick, but has always
managed fairly we'll to make a
complete turn about every "a
hours.
Apparent deViations Of the moon
from its orbit and changes in the
motion of the earth around the
sun are in fact due to the varia-
tons in the rate of rotation Of
the EARTH" Doctor Brown said.
Doctor Brown estimated the OK

of the earth vary from five inches
to II feet.

The $50, OOO, 900 Muscle Shoals
project will remain a "white
elephant" on the Government
hands for another year, it ap'
peared highly probable today,
despite the action of the Con-

tee in recommending the accep'
lance of q bid from the Asso-
ciated Power Companies, compris-
ing Is Southern power concerns.
Supporters OF the committee's
majority report faced a stupendous
task in seeking favorable action
from the present Congress, with ad-
1ournment about five weeks away.
While Administration leaders an
nounced q willingness to give the
committee an opportunity for &C.
ton on it's recommendations, the
limitation Of time probably will de-
feat final action at this session.
A small but thoroughly organized
minority OF Government ownership
advocates meanwhile laid plans to
block all action in the Senate.

Nebraska, who has Just returned

bloc viii demand that the success.
full bid and all other proposals
be submitted to the Senate Agri-
culture Committee.
In the, past, al; proposals have
been acted on by the Agriculture
Committee, which gave years Of
study to plans For d1sposing Of the
project.
One of the biggest obstacles
which the committee would have to
leap to get action in the present
Congress, 1t was generally admitted,
was its failure to render an unani-
nous report.
Senator Helm. 3D. Of Alabama.
one Of the most ardent leaders of
the movement to lease Muscle
Shoals to private interests, con-
demned the majority's report and
rendered a minority report, urging
acceptance Of the American Cyanid
Company's bid, given in the name
Of the Air Nitrates Corporation.
Representative P. James. R.I Of
Michigan, also rendered a minority
report, but condemned all bids and
particularly the power companies
proposals.
With the December session a
short session, usually devoted to
enactment only of appropriation
bills, there also appeared every
likelihood that the project would
not be privately leased for another
full year and possibly not before
1928, il at all.
