The god of war maintained his threat
to the Far East during the past week.
but suffered a serious check in the
West. Russia and China continued to
wave swords at each other across the
Manchuria n Siberian frontier. Greater
tension was felt in Moscow after OBJ
servers thought the strain had been
much relaxed.
The Western World furnished a coun-
terweight to the pugnaciCy OF the ORR
ent in new steps toward naval dIsarm-
ament taken on the same day In Lon
don and Washington. The Russian press
reported numerous cases of atrocities"
practiced by White Guards and Chinese
upon Russian citizens in the Chinese
Eastern Railway zone. Soldiers, sailors
and workers throughout the Soviet
Union responded to these reports by de-
handing swift reprisals. They were
particularly bitter against the White
Guards.
Hardin reports, on the Chinese side,
promised better things. Chinese Off
Gals seemed to think the Manchurians
had acted too hastily in selzing the
railway They were inclined to blame
Lu Yung- Huan, Chinese president of
the road, for exceeding his authority in
evicting Russian officials.
Russia has consistently maintained
that the status quo must be renewed on
the railway before she would consent
to negotiations. There have been UNI
official talks at Chang Chun, Manchu-
ric, along general peace lines.

pledges of sincere desire for naval
disarmament by the chief naval powers
of the world.
Both nations postponed units Of their
naval building programs on the very
day on which the Kellogg BRAND re-
nunciation of war pact became ef-
fective.
Japan, without making definite post
ponement of any of her units, indicated
her approval of the Anglo-American
attitude.
Statesmen all over the world united
in tribute to the Kellogg pact. which,
in the opinion Of Japanese Foreign Min
lister Shidehara, gave proof OF its
strength before officially going into ef-
feet by its influence for peace on Russo
Chinese relations.
The French Parliament brought to
an end years of toilsome negotiations
by finally approving Frances debt set
Elements with England and America.
In the Chamber of Deputies the fight
was bitter over unconditional ratifica-
ton of the Mellon Berenger accord, the
government winning by the narrow
margin of eight votes. The Senate,
however supported the cabinet, 234 to
go. 1t was a great triumph for Pre-
mier Poincare. Yet in the moment of
victory he was forced by broken health
, to resign his high Office. Aristide Bri-
and, foreign minister and himself pre-
nier on nine previous occasions, was
the unanimous choice as new head OF
the government.

 Ship Officials Called
 Officers of the American Brown B9vari Electric corporation, one of those named in the Shearcr suit, and subsidiaries, were the first called to testify Later representatives of the B7tA3ehem Steel corporation and its shipbuilding subsidiary. and the Newport News Ship0uiIding and Dry Dock corporation will be heard and then will come Shearer.
 Senator Bogah, republican, Idaho, who sponsored the resolution order ing the senate investigation, has called attention that the three com panies now are building cruisers for the navy which might not have been started if the Geneva conference had been successful.
 The tariff situation in the senate, meanwhile, was altered somewhat today by tho decision cf the repub- licans to speed up the legislative machinery in Gn effort to pass the bill before December.
 Spvrred by Senator Watson Of Indiana, the republican leader, the party regulars purpose to put the senate t0 work an hour earlier be- c.nning Monday. If the additional hour of labor proves insufficient for tha spoad.nG-up process, they will take up a proposal for night ses- siCns, or even earlier day meetings.
 Concern Over Independents . Some concern still was felt, how ever, over the attitude of the re- publican independents. The majority of the independents, including Borah of Idaho, and Norris of Nebraska, did not attend the party conference which agreed on the program for the accclcration, but some of the far northwestern senators, who also have been causing worry, were there.
 This group, which includes Jones of Washington. Steiwar of Oregon, 2nd Oddia of Nevada, are demand ing duties on lumber, shingles and other products Of their states.
 Not long after the decision to speed up was reached, copies of a raeolution adopted by the Republi- can Business Women. Inc, protest ing increases in rates, came to the desks of the republicans, It urged "orly such changes in tariff rates 2s will give relief to business, but "il1 not effect greater increase in liv- ing costs"
