at the first clang of the bell. There

Cartels in Europe, international
finance corporations, price agree
ments, tariff adjustments, multi
lateral" treaties, floods of honeyed
publicity have led millions to be-
lieve that the great empires will not
fight again, but will organize a
world plunderbund and exploit the
earth comparatively.
The idea is logical. Wisdom
would demand such step by the
imperialists. Can the imperialists
take the step? Will they take it?

of the police power is traditional
form of imperial activity.
Thus far no statesman has pro-
posed a plan by which the imperial
ruling class in one country, for ex-
ample Great Britain, will be able to
maintain imperial law and order in

SEES REPUBLICAN
SENATE CONTROL
MetcaIf of Rhode Island Says
Tariff Policy Will Aid in
Gaining Majority.

Belief that the Republicans will
have a good majority in the Senate IN
the next Congress was voiced here last
night by Senator Metcalf of Rhode Is
land. chairman of the Republican
senatorial campaign committee, VINO
has opened offices in the Transporta-
ton Building and is preparing for the
part his committee will take in the
campaign.
For the past year or two the division
between the two major parties has
been extremely close in the Senate, but
this year 35 Senate seats are involved
in the elections more than the usual
32--and Senator Metcalf gave an opti-
mistic outlook on the chances of gain
in Republican strength in that branch
Of Congress.
Sees Good Majority.
From preliminary survey of the
senatorial field" Senator Metcalf said,
Il will say that the Republican party
should have a very good majority in
the next session OF course, that Is
based upon incomplete primary returns
and incomplete sectional data. With
Herbert Hoover as the standard bearer
the party has unusual strength at the
top of the ticket. From indications at
those primaries already held the party
will gain additional strength throughout
the remainder Of the ticket
Although not expressing his own
view as to whether there will be an
extra session of the new Congress after
March 4 to take up tariff revision,
Senator Metcalf said reports of the
possibility of such a session leads him
to believe that Republican Senate is
extremely desirable at this time"
Sees Tariff As Aid.
He indicated that the principal argu-
ment to be used in behalf of a Republi-
can Senate probably will be the pro-
tective tariff His committee firmly
believes, he said. that the greatest
service which the Senate can render
To the people of the United States is
an adequate and rational protective
tariff"
Thirty-five Senate seats are at stake
this year instead of the usual one
third by reason of the resignation of
Senator-elect Frank l.. Smith of Him
D., and the deaths of Senators Good
ing of Idaho and Willis of Ohio

Replying to the American note of
August 3, in which Mr. Kellogg asked
reconsideration of the Honduran deci-
sion. the Tegucigalpa government IN a
long communication received today
again set forth its reasons for refusal,
the principal one being the assertion
that the Central American Tribunal is
not established in regular and permanent
form Honduras reiterates its willing
ness to accept arbitration under the
President OF the United States, the
Chief Justice Of the United States or
any tribunal established IN proper form
