YOUNG L|UM WINS
VERDICT IN DEBATE
Student Who Preached to
President Attacks U. S.
Intervention.

Rolf Lium OF Northfleld, Mimi, over
feet tall, youngster upon whom was
imposed last Summer the role of
preacher to the President OF the United
States, in Hermosa, S. Oak, lllnched
with President Coolidge yesterday at the
White House, and last night was victor
In debate.
I4ium, with his two colleagues from
Carleton College, launched an attack
against the United States policy of in
tcrvention, in the debate with American
University but the student preacher
hcdged by saying:
I'VE are not attacking any particular
administration or any particular
person."
1t was the principle OF intervention
which Lium and his associates opposed,
he said. and no individual. The audi
encc which packed Hurst Hall felt Lium
was attempting thus automatically to
avoid an apparent attack even in col
legiatc debate on the President whose
guest he had been but few hours
before.
The Carleton men in a protracted
swing through the East. in which
they met both Harvard and Cornell,
had debated both sides Of this question.
but 1t fell to the young precher to the
President to attack the American pol
icy in the Capital. He branded inter-
vention as "acts of war" and urged
that instead "all methods of peaceful
settlement should first be exhausted" ;"
and then arms rcsorted to only upon
declaration of war.
Lium's colleagues were 1Icman John
son and Ben c. Duniway. American
University debatcrs were Hugh w.
Speer, w. Willis Delaplain and Roland
Rice DIR. John II. Gray of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission was pre-

by tne Associated Presa.
Opposition to the Burton resolution
to prohibit the export of munitions to
belligercnt nations was voiced before
the House foreign affairs committee to-
day by Secretary Davis Of the War Dc
partmcnt.
The Secretary was put forward by the
House military committee, at whose re-
quest the resolution was taken I'D for
reconsideration. after once having been
formally reported to the House.
Three members of the military COM
mittee were on hand to look after the
interests Of that committee. Wainwright
of New York and Rcece of Tennessee,
Republicans. and McSwain. South Caro-
lima. a Democrat. They all declared the
resolution was too far-reaching to war
rant haSty action. and the military COM
mittee members pointed out that it had
been reported without public hearings.
To this. Chairman Porter replied by
saying nobody had asked hearing.
Secretary Davis argued that the
scope OF the proposal was SO broad
that 1t would endanger the maintenance
OF an adequate American munitions
industry.
Before Mr.. Davis took the stand.
Representative Cooper. Republican,
Wisconsin. member of the foreign
affairs committee inquired of Reece as
to what had prompted the interest of
the military committee in the resolu-
ton. Wainwright replied that he per-
sonally had called it to the attention
Of the committee.
The Burton resolution specifically
defines articles upon which an export
ban would be applied in time of war.
These include all kinds of rifles. pistols.
cannon, tanks. poisonous gases. "acids
or any other articles or inventions pre-
pared for use in warfare"

ENGLAND AWAITS NEWS.
kM0pe Fades as Hours Pass Without
Word From FLYERS

LONDON, March Is R).-~The gravest
anxiety as 10 the fate Of Capt. Walter
Hinchliffe and the Hon. Elsie Mackay
was felt in England today. as the hours
licked steadily by without definite news
OF the monoplane Endeayour.
At 2 O'Clock this afternoon. when more
than So hours had passed since the
take-oH at Cranwell Tuesday morning,
II was figured that the Endeavour's gas
oline supply must have been exhausted
ior several hours and there was no hope
that the plane was still In the air.
The vague reports that arrived during
the day OF planes landing or being
sighted at various points were hopefully
seized upon by an anxious public. but
lack OF confirmation Of each soon caus-
ed these fiecting, hopes 10 fade.
The deepest anxiety. naturally. was
felt In the London homes most init
mately associated with the fiight-~that
Of Lord Inchcape. father Of Miss Mac
kay. and that Of Capt. Hinchliffc In
PlIrley.
Mrs Hinchline was said 10 be bear
ing up well under the strain. but In con-
trast with her willingness to discuss her
husbands flight yesterday, she denied
herself today To visitors. Harvey Lloyd,
the flyers agent. met all inqu!rers al

chemistry under the auspices OF the
American Chemical Society. The dates
are July % TO August 18.
Sir James Colquhoun Irvine, princi-

Use Of Raw Material.
Twenty-eight conferences have been
arranged for the four-Week sessions.
One group will deal with the influence
OF chemistry in the better utilization of
raw materials. Other conferences will
be devoted TO chemotherapy, disposal
OF municipal wastes. rubber. science and
national defense. the chemistry OF life
processes, synthetic raw materials, anti
oxidants and cellulose.
Plans for a chemical warfare on dis
ease will be a dominant topic. The
chemists Will also discuss ways for pro-
viding farm relief by development of
new markets for agricultural products,
paying special attention to the elimina-
tion OF wastes. proper conversion of
which. 1t has been estimated, would
mean an annual increase of SO. .000, ,0O0.-

foregee the rise of great industries
