Great Britain, Faces
Another Sudan In
Mandate Territory

LONDON, March 5 P-Great Brit
ain is facing another Sudan.
Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud, sultan of
Nejd and self-styled king of the He'd
JAZZ, who since 1901 has brought the
-Wahabi dynasty from exile to a. domi-
nant position in Arabia, has added
rifles, ammunition, food and probably
men to the moral support which he
had previously been giving desert
raiders on the frontiers of the Brit
ish mandates in Irak, Koweit and
Trans jordania.
Thus the intermittent warfare on
the northern borders Of the great
Arabian desert suddenly has turned
from fights with robber bands into
a proposition of having Tommy At
kins face the whole might of the
Wahabis.
Three small British warships in
Koweit bay at the head of the Per-
sian gulf, q, British air force in Irak
and scattered outpostS are confronted
with the task of holding in check
the most powerful combination Of
tribes in all Arabia These fighters
of the desert are filled with reforming
zeal and contempt for death COM
parable only with the fanaticism OF
the Madhists of the Sudan.
Messengers from Koweit who have
just arrived at Basra, Irak, report
that Ibn Saud told a recent con-
ference of tribesmen that finding
shattered his hopes of bringing back
the "infidels" of Koweit, Irak and
ansjordania to Islam by peaceful
methods, he has decided to appeal
to the sword.
Hitherto Ibn Saud has been, friendly
to the British and only year ago
signed a treaty with them. But
reprisals by the Irak air force against
Arabian frontier raiders, resulting in
deaths to the reported number OF
800, seemingly have changed this at
titude.
It was the same Ibn Saud who, in
December, 1925, overthrew the last
remnant of the Kingdom of Hedjaz,
created as a part of the allies move
ments against Turkey in the World
war. Ibn Saud himself played mostly
a negative role in the big conflict
He allied himself with Great Britain
but was held in check by Ibn Rashid,
who is in alliance with the Turks.
At the end of the war, however,
active fighting broke out between the
rival Bedouin leaders over the oasis
of Khurma and Ibn Saud won that
poiny on his western frontier. From
there he steadily extended his do
minionS, finally leading the survivors
of the Rashid dynasty into captivity
On January 8, 1926, in the holy city
of Mecca, he was proclaimed king
of Hedjaz and sultan of the Nejd
and its dependencies.

MACHINE GUNS
UP TO PLAGUE
LEAGUE COUNCIL

GENEVA, March (P)-The ma
chine gun shipment seized on the
Hungarian frontier, and involving
what is known as the 'St. Gotthard
incident" has come before the league
of nations council. 1t is likely to
prove a complicated problem.
The guns, numbering about 1000,
entered Hungary from Italy, and were
marked as destined for Poland. They
were supposed to be agricultural inn
plements.
The question of principle involved
in the alleged clandestine importation
is how far the league is entitled to
investigate on control former enemy
countries in the matter of ornaments
received in this way. 1t is argued by
France and the little entente Jugo-
SlaYia, Czecho- -Slovakia, and Rumania
that if former enemy powers were
permitted with impunity to import
arms, thus violating the ornaments
provisions of the treaties, there would
be no security for the allied powers
Hungary, which already has de-
Stroyed the guns and sold the scrap.
protests the little entente is trying
to set up an unjustifiable precedent
by. establishing the right OF such
league control.
Italy, whose part in the affair is
suspected in some quarters, would pre-
fer the matter be- shelved, arguing
that peace best would be- served in
this way, while Germany is said to
be only lukewarm in support of Hun
gary.
Much is expected to depend on the
attitude. of Sir Austen Chamberlain,
British foreign secretary, as Great
Britain is regarded as the most dis
interested of the powers in this par
ticular question, which likely will
come up definitely at tomorrow's
meeting of the council

.OBRECON MAKES
STATEMENT; RAPS
BOX HARRIS ACT
Mexican General Has Kind
Words for Herbert HOov-
er's Candidacy

MEXICO CITY, March 5 QP--
General Obregon, who is the un-
opposed candidate for the presidency
of the republic to succeed Senor
Gales, issued a written statement
today in response to questions sub
mitted by Mexican newspaper men
He pronounced the Pan-American
conference at Havana a failure, dis
cussed the question Of Mexican imni-
grafton into the United States, and
mentioned briefly two of the men
identified with the presidential cam
paign III the United States
With reference 10 the immigration
of Mexicans into the United States,
General Obregon remarked:
cit has been said that the inferior
conditions of Mexico's laborers make
them undesirable guests there, and
that they go to the United States
with the object of propagandizing
garding the inspiration Of this bill
(the Box bill now before the house
and senate committees at Washing
ton, seeking to destrict western hem
isphere immigration} is not yet
known. Every Mexican laborer in
the United States produces more than
he consumes thereby establishing CO.
operation for both private and public
riches. Therefore there is no preteXt,
in the most rudimentary logic, for
the restriction of Mexican immigra-
ticn.
''Those who speak of Mexico's in
feriority and undesirability are not
aware of the desirability of Mexico's
natural resources for exploitation by
the United States capital. Restric-
tions of immigration would be adj
Contagious to Mexico economically,
but morally it would be depressing
and injurious to national sentiment.
Mexico should by the development
of its own resources provide work at
home for all Mexicans, thus avoiding
the necessity of their emlgrating
where they. are well exploited but
badly treated"
Asked about the United States
presidential campaign Generai Obre-
gon said he should not discuss
American politics. When asked if he
knew Governor Smith or Herbert
Hoover, he replied that he did not
know Governor Smith, but had been
associated with Mr.. Hoover, whom he
described as next to Roosevelt the
most vigorous personality in the
United States for a number OF years.

LABOR DEPT.
AGAINST
BOX MEASURE
Secretary Kellogg Fears Re-
strictiOn Would Affect
Relations
JARDlNE JOINS
Agriculture Secretary Pro-
tests Bill From Economic
Standpoint

WASHINGTON, March 5 t49-Fol-
lowing several days of testimony rela-
tive to placing immigration from
Mexico and other countries of North
America on quota basis, the senate
immigration committee today in ex-
ecutive session was told that four
departments of the government looked
with disfavor on the proposed legis-
lation.
Secretary of State Kellogg, it was
said following the meeting, is afraid
restriction of Latin American labor
in agricultural fields of the southwest
will affect friendly relations which
now exist between the United States
and neighbcring republics of the
south.
Assistant Secretary of Labor Hus..
band and DIR. George c. Kreutzer
director Of reclamation economics of
the interior department. also appeared
in opposition to the proposed Harris
ROx legislation, and letter from
Secretary of Agriculture Jardine was
read protesting from the economic
standpoint.
On the house side, the immigration
committee, also meeting in executive
session, heard Grover c. Wilmoth, OF
Ell Paso, Texas, district director or
the immigration service, tell of con-
ditionS on the Mexican border Mr.
Wilmoth's estimate of the illegal en-
trance of Mexicans into the United
States was not as high as estimates
placed before the committee by pro-
ponents of the legislation.
The immigration official, however,
did not tell the committee whether
he favors the legislation.
According to Senator Johnson, re-
publican, California, chairman of the
committee Assistant Secretary Hus-
band stated the labor department
would net oppose restriction of Mex
lean immigration to a certain degree,
but that it is opposed to the legisla-
ton now before congress.
During hearings before committees
of the senate and house, it was stated
by agricultural and stock men of the
west and southwest that placing Of
Mexico on a quota basis of immigra-
ton would work a hardship on those
industries and would prove demoral
izing to great degree in some cases.
1t was pointed out that farmers
of the southwest, particularly sugar
beet growers, depend almost entirely
on the seasonal Mexican laborer to
aid in planting, civilizations and har-
vesting the crop.
The committees were told these
laborers after completing their tasks,
do not remain in fJniS country bIlf
return to their native land.
