CHINESE ARMS DEAL
DISCLOSED AT TRIAL
Former United States District At
torney Husar at Shanghai Re-
veals "Go-Between" Plot.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, May 5.-Amazing rev.
elations regarding an arms deal were
made yesterday in the United States
District Court for China at the trial
of Leonard G. Husar, former United
States district attorney for China,
who was arrested last January on a
charge of having accepted $4,000 in
gold in connection with an opium in
vestigation.
Husar, in the course of an expla-
nation of his accounts, testified that he
met Col Hsu, intelligence officer for
the Shantung war lord Chang Tsung-
Chang in 1924.
From December, 1925, according to
his testimony, he acted as a 'go-be-
tween" in an arms deal in which an
It .lian named Parlani and Col. Hsu
were concerned and in which $500
Mauser rifles with bayonets and am
munition were sold to Chang Tsung-
Chang for 10000 taels.
Leonard G. HuSar was one OF numer-
Gus foreigners charged with be-
ing identified with opium smuggling
which had been carried on extensively
up and down the YangtZe river.

debt and reparation should amount to
E22,400 900, and this, together with the
payments from interallied war debt
assuming the French war debt agree
ment to have been ratified and neglect
ing past deficits in British receipts as
compared with payments), would be
sufficient to cover the current pay
ments due to the United States Gov
ernment. Whether the payments from
the Dawes annuities included in the
above calculations will, in fact, be re-
ceived, depends, of course, upon
whether it is found possible to trans
fer the full amounts provided for by
the Dawes plan.
Still Under Payments to u. s.
But even if the full Dawes pay
ments continue to be received for
so years from now onward, the pres
ent value of the receipts of Great
Britain from reparation and allied
war debts together would be less
than that of the payments she is
obligated to make to the United
States Government on account of the
British war debt, assuming interest
at per cent to be added to pay
ments and receipts in the past ana
future payments and receipts to be
discounted at the same rate.
1t is quite true that his majesty's
have frequently declared
that their policy is to recover such
q sum, in respect of their war loans
to the allies, with the reparation re-
ceiptS of Great Britain, Will Sutf1ce
to cover the annual payments which
they have to make to the United
States. but this situation has not yet
been reached and up to the present
the British taxpayer has had to find
the greater part of the payments to
the United States from his own re-
sources, even after applying all re-
ceipts from reparations and inter-
allied debts to this purpose, and
using none of these receipts as
set-off against the interest which has
to be paid on the loans raised i'll
Great Britain out of which advances
were made to the allies.
In no circumstances will Great
Britain receive from reparations and
interallied war debts, taken together,
more than she pays to America. The
policy of his majesty's government
on this subject has been repeatedly
declared. 1t is not their desire to
retain for their country anything out
of receipts from reparations and in
terallied war debts. In the event of
their receipts from interallied war
debts and reparations exceeding the
made by them to the
United States Government, they have
to reduce, proportionately
he payments due to be made to Great
Britain in respect of interallied war
and q provision to this
effect appears in the various war
debt funding agreements, which his
majesty's government have signed.
1t is not clear on what basis the
Evening star., 1927-05-05

! calculations cited by Mr.. Mellon have
been made, but it appears probable
| that error has arisen on the following
points:
|. (a) Receipts from Germany:
| The figures mentioned by Mr.. Mellon
| appear to relate to the total receipts
| of the British Empire from the Dawes
| annuities. But these include receipts
in respect of the costs of occupation
:, as well as in respect Of Belgian war
! debt and reparation. The receipts in
| respect of costs of occupation represent
| a partial reimbursement of expenditure
| incurred by Great Britain; they are
thus not available to enable payments
to be made to the United States with
out imposing a burden on Great Bri-
| tain and must be left out of account
] for the purpose Of the present calcu-
lation. Further, the British Empire
, reparation receipts have to be dis
tributed between Great Britain and
other parts Of the empire, the share of
Great Britain having been agreed at
S6.85 per cent of the total. The bal
ance is not received by the British
treasury.
(b) Receipts from France.
A more important error Is contained
in the figures given by Mr.. Mellon of
the receipts of Great Britain from
france. These appear to include the
sums which were due by the Bank of
France to the Bank of England in re-
payment Of an advance made during
the war. This loan was a private
transaction and is not an intergovern-
mental debt. The payments are made
to the Bank of England, and not one
penny thereof accrues to the British
treasury or the British government.
Ihey are thus entirely irrelevant to
the question of the extent to which
the British taxpayer can meet pay
ments to the United States Govern
ment out of receipts from reparation
and allied war debts.
$3.50, 100000 Paid U. s.
1t should be added that while the
British taxpayer receives nothing
from this commercial debt of the Bank
of France, he has to meet very large
market debts incurred by the British
treasury in the United States before
the United States Government entered
the war. Since April 1, 1919, the
British taxpayer has paid $3.50, 900 900
or f140, 100000, on this head, over and
above the payments made to the
United States Government.
These facts and figures appear to
his majesty's government sufficiently
to controvert the statement put for
ward by Mr.. Mellon that the payments
made to the United States Govern
ment in respect of the British war
debt will not constitute a drain on
British economic resources. But much
more might be said. It must be re-
membered that in addition to paying
their own debts to the United States.

The statement he particularly chal-

the next two generations"

ain will retain for herself nothing of
auv PAYMENTS she receives, but viii
apply all of her receipts toward pay
ment of her liabilities to the United

by implication this means that
should the United States further re
duce British obligations to the United
States the British government would
cancel a like amount of obligation due
to it from it's debtors.
cit is very obvious that the British
government would neither gain nor
lose in such a transaction. Every
dollar of debt Cancelled by the United
States represents an increase by just
that amount of the war burden borne
by the American taxpayer"

ROYAL
OPERA HOUSE
BEING REBUILT

MADRID, Spain B-When the
work of renovation of the Royal
theatre in Madrid is terminated next
year, the Spanish capital will possess
a notable dramatic and operatic CEN
ter where lately stood building IN
constant danger of collapse.
Hundreds of workmen are pouring
cement into the foundations of the
theatre, which was originally con-
Structed on moving sands. Since the
theatre was condemned, early this
year, a stratum of solid earth has
been discovered which with thick
cement basis will furnish ample sup
port for the building.
The edifice when completed will
provide underground halls for c&1-
certs which may take place at the
same time as the performances in
the theatre itself, which will have en-
larged capacity.
When society functions are held in
the theatre the participants will find
several large reception halls, one re-
served for the royal family and an
other for the members of the diplo-
matte corps. Others may be used for
balls and private dances.
A terrace is to be constructed fac
ing the plaza opposite the Royal
palace.

AN OLD FASHION
FOR PARADES Is
STILL IN VOGUE

Charles Dickens, in one of his
sublimely tragic stories, speaks OF an
old, old fashion and we find that
the fashion he dealt with was death.
There is another old fashion and
we will see the one dealt with dur
ing fair week. 1t has been an
nounced that the cowboys will pa
rade, mounted, down G avenue each
day of the fair before they go to the
field for their death-defying stunts
and sports.
Man has had dogs and horses
since he walked upright. The dog
was a household pet, friend, a
hunter and a fighter, companion in
war and peace. The horse has been
the symbol of wealth and of power
and of high degree in society, of at
tainment and of glory. Statues OF
great men, of warriors and states
men alike, make a greater impress
sion when a horse is cut into the
scene.
The great soldier is buried with
pomp and ceremony and the most
impressive and touching part of that
ceremony is the leading ,of a rider
less horse with reversed stirrups, be-
hind the funeral caisson. In the
army even staff officers of infantry
are rated as mounted officers and

FAIR WEEK Is
REAL DISPLA AY
OF MANY STYLES

One often hears the phrase, ''When
East Meets West" Wednesday eve
ming east will meet west at the grand
ball to be held at the crowning event
of the first day of the seventh an
nual Cochise county fair and for the
crowning of Miss Cochise, queen OF
the fair and queen of Cochise county
for the remainder of the week.
At that ball will be seen the latest
in fashions There will be men and
women in formal evening attire and
there will be cowboys and possibly
cowgirls in western regalia. There
will be that artistic blending of the
old west and the effete eastern in
styles which makes of a great event
here in Douglas something romantic
and colorful in a great degree.
Throughout the week of the fair
there will be parties and dances, both
public and private. There will be re-
ceptions for the queen and her
ladies' waiting and there will be
all manner of entertainment. During
fair week each year the general pub
lie goes to it's greatest extremes in
dress. Certain elements of society
take this opportunity to dress very
carefully, very properly and very
gracefully in the latest and newest

MODERN MAN Is
PUPPET, SAYS A
'CHI' RTIST

CHICAGO P)-The marionette, with
its unchanging wooden face, is the
best medium to portray modern
drama because modern man is be-
coming an individual of a single ex-
preston, says Meyer Levin, Chicago
artist.
Levin is master of puppet theatre
of his own founding. He manipulates
the figures in many involved dramas
and has designed them to represent
the gambler, the "big butter and egg
man" and the baby-faced flapper.
Specialization of the times has pro-
duced the individual of a single ex-
preston, he asserts-a marionette face
type. MANY plays" he goes on, sees
to picture cur machine civilization.
Why not do it with mechanical
actors. The one-face idea is a real
expression of modern life. Drama is
thing of intense concentration and
each character must present the idea
to the audience"
