General Economic Situation.
The country has enjoyed large degree Of pros
perity and sound progress during the past year with
distribution and consequent advancement in stand

equal among industries, and some, such as coal,
lumber, leather, and textiles still lag behind. The

BRITISH PEERS BEAT
WORLD COURT MOVE
Lord CeciI'S Motion to Sign
Optional Clause Is Rejected
by 26-to-19 Vote.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 2.-The House Of
Lords. after brief debate yesterday, re-
jected. rs to 10. motion submitted by
Lord Cecil inviting the House to ex-
press the opinion that the time had
arrived when Great Britain should
sign the optional clause of the statute
of the World Court.
(By this clause. states recognize the
compulsory jurisdiction of the court,
namely, the right of one party to sum-
mon another before the COURT.
Lord Chancellor's Views.
The lord chancellor, expressing gov
ernment's inability to accept the mo-
ton. said that it was hoped the time
would arrive when it would be possible
for the British Empire to accept the
compulsory Jurisdiction of the Inter-
national Court, with or without a reser-
walton designed to protect the special
position of the empire.
The present moment, however, in the
dying days of the old parliament and
in the face of resolutions of the impe-
rial conference of 1926. and the urgency
of the problem Of the United States ar
bitration treaty with Great Britain,
could not be considered a proper time.
Lord Cecil has argued there was no
reason why Great Britain should not
agree to accept judicial settlements by
the International Court in view of her
enormous interests in all parts of the
world.
The lord chancellor rejoined that it
would not be desirable to refer to an
international court a dispute between
the home government and one of the
dominions or between two of the do
minions. 1t was this aspect of the sit
uation, he said, which necessitated
reservations but the point as to what
matters should be submitted to arbi-

tration had not been discussed with the
dominions.


The government spokesman said that
after the general elections, the cabinet,
If returned to power, intended to I'M
dertake negotiations with the domin-
ions respecting proposals for an arbi-
tration treaty with the United States.
He said it was desirable that this should
be done before the question Of the OPP
tional clause was taken up.
Lords Reading and Parmoor ex-
pressed general agreement with the
views of Lord Cecil. The former main
tanned that the signing of the Kellogg
pact was itself strong argument in
favor of adopting the optional clause.
In winding up the debate, Lord Cecil
expressed the fear that the govern
ment's attitude meant the RELOCATING of
the optional clause to the far distant
future

in the case today when Hugh B. G..

made was not stated.

of his nose, even his sandy hair somehow more

Reed Does Not Agree

Kansas City. Mo. April (UP)-- Former Senator James A. Reed. who before leaving Washington caused a sensation by threat to name senators who voted dry and drank wet" disagrees with Senator Hlease's justification of his voting record.
 Senator Elease and 1 are good friends and I don't want to criticize his statement" Reed said. but feel that man who votes dry and drinks wet cannot absolve him. self by confessing if.
 Confession has nothing to do with absolution. d
 "A man has no right to vote q law restricting the liberty of his fellow man when he privately violates the same law. The fact that he con fesses it has nothing to do with it."
 Reed also commented on the Jones law. which makes possible more severe penalties for liquor law siolators.
 'It is symbolic Of medieval bar barity,' he said. and in my opinion will be q prolific source of graft and Of bIackmail."
 It was in connection with senate debate on the Jones law that Reed spread consternation among drink ing drys" by his threats of exposure.

 Defends Right to Drink

Washington, April | UP)-Sena- tor Cole Blease. South Carolina democrat who admits he drinks, voted for prohibition "because I rep resent people who believe in it" and supported the Jones law 'because think it is the best way to end pro- hibition."
 That seemingly contradictory viewpoint. combining support Of law; which personally he would like to see rubbed off the statute books, was explained by Senator Blease in an interview.
 There is no inconsistency in my position" he said. This is a repre- sentative government and I do not presume to place my own views above the views of the people l rep resent.
 II am careful not to violate the law. Any public man should obey the laws as an example to private citizens. But it is not a violation of the law to take a drink"
 "f voted for the Jones law" he added. ''In that case, however l did 1t because l think if is the best way to end prohibition. If we pass enough drastic laws 10 enforce pro- hibition the whole thing will be re- pealed. Young people arc drinking too much and have too good time to stand for prohibition if it is really enforced.'

Developer Important

Real estate is a business OF many
complications and very close speciali-
cation. Workers concerned with real
estate activities divide themselves In
to four major groups: Developers,
who improve acreage and sell it in
home sites; operators, who build
homes for sale; brokers. whose field
is the resale Of properties. and agents,
who manage renting properties.
The real-estate developer is the man
or the organization which takes over
raw acreage, or farm land, for devei-
opment and allotment purposes. lays
it ont, improves 1t. cuts 1t up, and
markets it as home sites. After tie

Home Builder Should
Look to the Future

1t is highly important that the home
builder ascertain that the section In
which he is contemplating construc-
tion will continue as home section
so that he may not only put his prop
erty to the highest and best use as
residential site but count on it per-
sisting in this use for many years to
come. He should. Of course, inquire
whether the district is protected by
coming laws or building ordinances
that bar the construction of CONNER
cial buildings. but he should remem-
Der that coming laws can be and are
amended if it can be shown that COM
merce or business is making justifI-
able demands on a district.
The home builder. therefore, should
seek competent advice as to the
trend of the land in the sections adj
iacent Ia his proposed home. for All
though no one can be magT
these matters, the changing use o.
districts, with the possible change Of
zoning laws, can be foretold with rea-
sonable accuracy.

y Building
Areas of Industry
on City's Outskirts

The larger industries are not afraid
to go farther away on the outskirts
of the city than was considered desir-
able in the past, and there is ten
dency among the smaller industries
which are looking to the future to do
likewise, according to Fl. Findley
French, director of the industrial bu-
reau of Baltimore.
This means that it is now neces-
sary for the man who is specializing
in finding the proper location for in
dustrial plants to reconsider constant
ly various tracts of land that have
been passed over In the previous gen.
eral Industrial development of the
city because they have lacked vari-
Gus facilities or because Of the char
acter of the ground itself.
In looking ahead ten years to the
probable industrial development OF
the city, as the industrial realtor
must do, conditions which brought
about the rejection Of certain areas
for industrial purposes are found to
have now been offset by other fac
tors, Mr.. French pointed out, and
tracts which have been passed over
can now be brought into use and wilt
be found to hold exceptional opportu-
mites for profitable development.
For Industrial buildings in good
condition, not ovefspecialized in their
plans, there is always some market
provided they are situated in grow
ing community.
In the sale or rental of Industrial
buildings, 95 or more per cent Of the
prospects in any town will come frorn

Considerations Of Color

There is leaning today towards
yayer and more bizarre exterior color
schemes. Before adopting any OF them
for your house, take this hint from
nature. One of her larger children,
the elephant, has sober, gray tonal-
ity. while the tiny birds and insects
are usually wildly colored. This
thought is useful when selecting ex-
terror color schemes. especially now
adays when such gorgeous and bril-
liant colors are available in paints and
stains. A small amount of bright col
or will usually be more effective than
n large expanse, while neutral. con-
sentative tones are Intellectual. or
dinarily, If used as decorative touches.
