that the board had no authority to

involves a change from wood block

park board believed the project

Sir Austen Chamberlin, British

It was unlikely, Sir Austin said,
that the British parliament would
accept the additional financial obli-
cation involved in such a scheme
without adequate recompense.

SMALL NATIONS
] IN REVOLT AT
/ LEAGUE FARLEY
Disarmament Must Come by
/. War If Not by Accord,
Ne Belgian Warns.
BY HENRY WOOD,
United Press staff Correspondent

GENEVA, Sept. 9.-Disarmament
as result of a new and ruinous
war or disarmament by mutual
agreement through the League of
g1Jations must come to the world,
Emile Vandervelde, foreign minister
of Belgium, told the League of Ma
lions assembly today. In his speech
he emphasized the widening breach
between large and small members
of the league.
Rebellion of the small powers
against the larger members con-
tinued undated today, although the
Epokesmen of Britain, France and
Germany did what they could to
allay the turmoil by refraining from
addressing the assembly.
Resentment is directed against
the Locarno powers, but more spe-
officially against Britain and France.
; The smaller powers have indicated
their conviction that some measure
Of disarmament could be obtained
q II the major powers were more
hmenable to reason.
Proposal Is Mutilated
The latest act to which the
sbn1aller powers took exception was
the emasculation of Polish pro-
posal to prevent aggression and to
prevent any country from adding to
its present ornaments Experts
representing the Locarno signatories
revised the draft in such a way that
1T was acceptable to Poland.
Despite Belgillm's membership in
the Locarno group, Vandervelde
urged reference to the Polish pro-
posal and Dutch protocol of SINH
lar general purpose to the .appropri-
ate commission for full discussion
and elaboration.
Canada's candidacy~for a league
council seat caused the Latin
American group to convoke a meet
ing for tomorrow, at which it was
expected to adopt a resolution de-
claring that the three council seats,
designated for America were in
tended specifically for Latin-Amer-
acan countries.

We recommend that the proper

STILL FAINT HOPE
FOR BOULDER DAM
Measure Now Before Senate
As Unfinished Business.
House Members Hopeful

That hope for the passage of
Boulder Dam legislation this
session has not entirely gone
rom the minds of proponents
of the SwfngJohnson bill in
Washington is indicated by the
following message from Senator
Key Pittman to the Age:
Washington, D. c., 1880 p. m,
Feb, 18--We got up Boulder Dam
bill today 1t is now the un-
finished business
KEY PITTMAN.
The significance of this is that
the Boulder Dam bill is now on
the calendar of the senate as
unfinished business. Every day
at 200 p. m, the senate takes
up it's programmed regular bust
ness in order of precedence.
When the turn of the Swing
Johnson bill comes it will be the
order of business every day at
300 and debate on it cannot be
prevented by other measures.
This victory of the proponents of
the bill is the most encouraging
thing that has come out of con-
gress so far on the Boulder Can
yon legislation.
In the house, Chairman Smell
of the Rules Committee has pro-
missed that the committee will
act early next week At that
time the committee either will
refuse to place the bill on its
program of necessary legislation
of the session, or will report out
a rule whereby the bill may come
on the floor of the house for de-
bate.
While the chances for passage
of the bill this session are
slight, there is still a possibility
that it may become a law.
