CAIRO, Egypt, July 1.-THE
draft of law to regulate Egyptian
nationality, now before parliament,
is meeting with strong opposition
from business and financial elements
among the Egyptians, who fear that
the nationality thus conferred would
strengthen the power of the vigor-
Gus competitive minorities in the
country.
The new law would confer Egyp-
tian nationality upon every child
born in Egypt of foreign father
or born in Egypt and attached by
race to people speaking the Arabic
language or of the Moslem religion.
This clause, particularly affecting
Syrians, has met with bitter oppo-
sition.
Particular facilities are offered to
Turks, many hundreds of whom,
banished from their native land by
the republican government of Mus
tapha Renal Pasha, have found
shelter in Egypt, but are deprived
of any kind of legal status. Thou
sands Of former Ottoman subjects
are awaiting passing of the law to
acquire legitimate status.
/ Within the frontiers of Egypt are
thousands of former Ottoman sub

PARIS, July l7.-Jugoslavia, syn
thetic state created 10 years ago by
world-fixers at Versailles, is rival
ing fascist Italy in the number of
political arrests, murders and ex-
lies, asserts recent press dispatch
from the Committee of Fighting the
White Terror in the Balkans.
Thoroughly mix sundry minori-
ties of Dalmatians, Slovenians,
Croatians and Macedonians with a
dominant quantity Of Serbs, and you
have something that to a Jugoslav
minister of the interior seems a
balance of peoples" To the COM
mittee it seems "the Macedonian
He'll" a balance of terror and mis-
ery."
White Terror
The balancing process has pro-
duced 10000 political arrests and
convictions, 1000 political emigres,
Is political executions and $500
open and secret political murders.
Further triumphs of "balanced''
craftsmanship are 100000 unem-
ployed workers and 100000 starv-
ing peasants. On the other side of
the ledger are 120 pensioned min
listers, 100000 holders of govern
ment jobs, 100000 soldiers and 3d.
900 policemen.

Wages Low

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 1.-THE
granting of 10-cent fare to the
Chicago elevated lines yesterday
and the filing in New York City of
a petition for an increased fare by
the Eighth and Ninth Ave. lines, the
third group in New York to apply
for the increase, bring into bcld re-
lief the countrywide drive of trac-
ton and public utility corporations
TO increase fares, raise rates and
pick the pockets of the workers gen.
orally.
Work With Politicians
In all cases the hold-ups are be-
ing accomplished under the eyes and
with the obvious sanction of public
service commissions, city officials
and the federal courts, whose sup
posed reason for existence is to pre-
vent the very things which they are
now seen to be furthering. Balti-
more lines recently put through a
ten-cent fare. Practically every up
state corporation in New York has
been granted increases. Many APP
l,lications throughout the country
are pending.
Three federal judges, sitting yes
terday, granted a temporary injunc-
ton to the Chicago lines for the
ten-cent fare. After announcing
their decision the judges referred the
whole matter to master in chan
Gerry, the usual method of putting
through fare and rate increases.
Old Plea
The injunction was granted on
the company's plea that the present
fare is "confiscatory." The same
plea is at the basis of the Now
York increased fare moves. AS in
New York, the Chicago lines are
several hundred per cent water"
In past years dividends paid out
have many times equalled the orig
inal investment and the present
"failure to earn a reasonable re-
turn" is really huge subterfuge in
which city and state officials take
part.

vailed that it would be incumbent
upon Mr.. Hoover, in the event Of his
election, to confer single honor upon
the women voters in the appointment
of a woman to a cabinet portfolio. 1t
seemed reasonable at that time that
Mrs. Willebrandt would be the chosen
representative of her sex and named
attorney general of the United States.
1t appears that this pretty picture has
been blurred by recent events and a
reaction has set in among party lead
ers which changes the outlook for
official recognition of militant fem
inists.
The story in the drawing rooms of
Washington today is that Mrs. Willie
brandt would be satisfied with a fed
eral judgeship in her native state of
California, even if a cabinet position
was denied her. The political wiseacres
point to the fact that Mr. Hoover,
provided he is president, would. find
himself severely handicapped and
possibly embarrassed when the time
arrived to bestow this political plum
on one who had manifested such par
ty zeal. Attention is called to the
strong probability of few senators

delivered, in addition to one or more
which may be scheduled on his way
to California, afford ample oppor-
tunity for complete discussion Of the
issues upon which the Republican
party is standing in this campaign.
AS to the thrusts of the Democratic
nominee at religious intolerance, DR..
Hubert Work and other Republican
leaders have quietly pointed out that
in Herbert Hoover's speech of ac-
ceptance, eight weeks ago, he made
a very forceful declaration on the
same subject, which was as follows:
II come of Quaker stock. My an
cestors were prosecuted for their be-
liefs. Here they sought and found
religious freedom. BY blood and con-
viction, stand for religious tolerance
both in act and spirit. The glory Of
our American ideals is the right of
every man to worship God according
to the dictates of his own conscience"
That was one of the high points of
Mr.. Hoover's address at Palo Alto, the
entire country agreed. Republican
leaders do not believe the memory Of
it will be dimmed in the slightest by
Governor Smiths subsequent remarks
on the same subject, from which
listeners might have inferred that the
Democratic candidate was the only
one to deliver a blow at prejudice in
this campaign.

tice by their failure to consent to the
senate confirming such an appoint
ment The senate has many proceed
ents for policy of thumbs down" on
those seeking federal office. The
Willebrandt case illustrates the mo-
tives which keep important Republi-
cans and Democrats from active par
ticipatfon in electioneering. They
realize the folly of making themselves
stormy petrels, for when they are pro-
posed by the President for high office
they must qualify before senate
committee and the senate itself.
Just now there is a demand from
certain politicians for the removal Of
the gag" rule by the Civil Service
commission. The federal agency has
for years promulgated rules and regu-
lations in an effort to keep a tight
rein on utterances of civil service en-
ployees during political campaigns.
1t is pointed out that the civil service
system was designed to protect federal
employees who obtain their positions
largely through fitness and merit
from the effects of political patronage
upheavals at every election.

unsymoathetic scrutiny the complete

ment. 1t was almost by accident that
Abe Cole, the bandaged but still
fighting blacksmith, saw Selwood and,
running toward him, greeted him with
a shout that drew attention to the
long-hoped-for arrival of the taciturn

wounded, crowded about him, he eyed
the scar-faced, hurting blacksmith,

Selwood, ignoring impatient inter-
pleaders that raised their voices,
some abusing the blacksmith and
some one another, looked about the
two rooms. The figure that instantly
arrested his attention was that Of
Carpy, his head swathed in wild
looking bandage, moving about among
his wounded, who, filing one corner,
lay on the floor in various attitudes
Of prostration, anger, and disgust.
