british Experts Urges The 7 urning of Coal

PITTSBURGH. Nov, B, (P)-How much good money goes up chimneys in the form of coal smoke was de- ocribed in the second International conference on Bituminous coal by R H. Crozier. manager of Mineral Oils Extraction, Ldt., London, Eng.
 He said that from the raw coal burned in Great Britain annually, 1000 900 tons of oil might be saved by extraction before burning the coal, ard with improvement of the cal for heating purposes.
 Homes, not factories, burn most of this oilwasted fuel, he said, and "cause an enormous indirect waste, owing to deteriorating effect upon property of smoke-laden atmos- Dher". and also serious menace to the health and physical develop ment Of our cities"
 He forecast the "the inevitable oil shortage" of the future Will force recovery of oil from coal be- fore it is used for fuel

HISTORY IN CHM

History in China is being made
before our eyes. The fall OF Pekine
means a united China, recognition by
the powers. and the ultimate confer
ence relative to the revision OF pres
ant one-sided treaties. 1t may mean
the end OF the interminable civil
war which has been under way ever
since the republic was established.
The attitude OF Japan is strikingiy
significant. Premier Tanaka's gov
eminent having been roundly &C
cueed o. fayorne the northerners at
the time OF the clash with the south
erners at Tsinan-fu. exercised con-
siderable diplomatic skill in eNtrl-
eating itself from the difficult posi-
ton, This was done by announcing
that the northerners could not re
treat into Manchuria and expect to
recoup themselves there, or perhaps
do battle with the advancing south
erners in this territory. Once the
northerners went into Manchurla the
war would be over SO far as they
were concerned, in effect read the
ultinatum by Japan. The result is
that Chang Tso-lin cannot cover up
his retreat behind japanese aid; he
returns to his northern satrap &C
companled by his Mukden troops,
While the other troops will Join the
Nationalist forces. Thus an epoch II
the Chinese war is accomplished.

FRANCE AND THE FRANC

That French currency will be bas-
ed upon the gold standard within a
few weeks or month seems likely
in view OF the dismal reports given
to Premisr Poincaire and President
Doumergue by Emile Moreau, gov
ernor OF the Bank OF France.
NJ. Moreau has blandly told the
government that if the gold stand
ard Is not adopted he Will resign. He
sees nothing but financial disaster
ahead unless the yellow metal is
accepted as d basis for the national
currency.
The government has been .uying
from $50, 0o0,o 900 to sS5.oft, QUO
daily in foreign currencies in order
to prevent the franc from rising
above its present scale. At the same
time the interest OF the government
dictates that it be not allowed to fail.
Keeping the franc Just as il is is a
difficult procedure and cannot pe
done indefinitely unless the gold
standard is adopted. The plan is to
definitely fix the value OF the franc
at four cents, or IS for the dollar.
NJ. Poincaire has been confronted
with a division OF opinion in France.

the day when the franc could be

through the fixing OF the franc on
the basis of gold, although they are

would mean the government would

OF 10000. 600, 900 francs worth of
| foreign currencies. In other words,
for every rise OF one franc to the
dollar the bank would lose l0o.-
| GOO, 900 francs. Under such circum-
stances revalorlzation would be an
| even more painful operation than it
otherwise viii be. NJ. Poincaire has
said from the beginning it would be
hard and sad change and he has
been reluctant to adopt the gold
standard until the most propitious
