Agreement of Britain With
U. S. May CompIiCate
Discussions.
BY KEITH JONES
United Press staff Correspondent

LONDON, Nov. 26.-Prime Min
lister j. Ramsay MacDonald's an
noUncement in the House of Com
mons that Great Britain was agreed
entirely with the United States that
President Hoover's freedom of the
seas proposal should not be dis
cussed at the forthcoming five
power naval conference may serve
to complicate, instead of simplify,
the January discussions.
The prime minister's announce
ment was made in response to a
queStioner, who asked the govern
ment's stand on President Hoover's
suggestions, made in an Armistice
day address.
Macdonald stated that the gov
eminent did not favor discussions
of wartime immunity of foodships
Of wartime immunity of food ships
Complications May Arise
Predictions of complications were
based on the recent semi-official
approval by italy of abolition of
submarines. which, in turn, was
based on the understanding that
food ships would be immune from
attack. Such a stand would neceS-
state discussions Of the Hoover pro-
posals, which both Britain and the
United States have agreed should
not be undertaken.
With the conference scheduled to
open Jan. 81, probably at st. James
palace, there is less than two months
left in which to arrange general pre-
liminary understandings between va
rious powers, without which there
arises the possibility of a deadlock
in discussions similar to that of the
last naval parley at Geneva.
Questions Unsettled
Major questions, at present I'M
settled by any preliminary CONVEX
Sations, generally are understood to
include the following:
1. A gap of $4,000 tons between
British and United States naval
parity estimates.
2. The question whether Japan
will demand a 10-10-7 ratio. instead
of the 5-5-3 ratio established at
Washington.
8. Italy's demand for cruiser
parity with France.
4. The extent to which Japan,
Italy and France will accede to the
demands of the United States and
Britain for abolition of the sub
marine.

on the trail of a youthful bandit
who Monday night derailed a Union

panic-stricken passengers of ap-

The Portland Limited, west

of here. The sixty passengers
miraculously escaped death or seri-

coaches and two baggage cars
careened against an embankment.
Mrs. Dora Witt of Pittsburgh and
Ruby Green, Chicago Negress, were
the only ones injured.

Leaping from the front coach, the
bandit ran back, robbed several
more passengers, and disappeared
in the darkness, much in the same
way Bill Carlisle, notorious early
day train robber, would have done it.
A. A. Inman, Portland, Ore, din

GOOD
CITIZENSHIP
BY DR.. Louis E. Bischl

10y Dks LVuAS 6s ASAS~M
MANY of us are proud of be-
4vA ing citizens but how many
of us are really good citizens?
Citizenship carries with 1t
great privilege. but few realize it.
1t also carries with it certain
duties which few realize either.
In a democracy such as ours
we soon become used TO the iasa
that we, in the last analysis. hold
the balance of power.
But do we fully realize the
responsibilities that should and do
go hand in hand with the privilege
of citizenship?
Do we recognize that not only
Is it our duty to vote with care
and intelligence but that we owe
1t to the State to develop our own
individual resources to- the fullest
possible extent for the good of
all?
We have received maca!
Therefore, we owe much 40 the
community in which we live, as
well as to the State ard to the
nation!
Great citizens like Washington,
Franklin, LETTERS Webster,
Adams, Lincoln, Roosevelt, VIII
son. Page, Choate-these men ap.
preciated their responsibilities.
We may not be able to become
such renowned citizens as they,
hut at least we can all develop
our latent powers and thereby be-
come better citizens than we are.
Good citizenship carries with ii
also the obligation to think and 10
act as an Individual and an ac-
tive one-not one that lazily ar
lows others to do the thinking
and the doing for him.
With so many problems press.
ing for solution, problems of
reduction of armament, future
wars. labor and capital, interna.
tional obligations, ETC., ETC., good
Americans must rouse themselves
from sense of false security
and optimism and must learn to
think and to think clearly and
straight.
Women. coming newly to these
problems of politics, ought to have
an invaluable freshness Of view
point to contribute.
The exceptional, steady thinking
woman in every walk of life
ought to prove her value and
soon.
But independence of thought
and reliance on ones own judg.
ment must not become an obses-
sion. There is nothing praise
worthy about disagreement just
for the sake of being different.
We must not shout our own
person who avoids any citizenship
tops merely to satisfy our desire
to be noticed.
AS q citizen, you are one in
a thousand. AS good citizen you
will be one in a hundred.
Yet good citizenship carries
with 1t not merely the sense OF
a duty well done. but q feeling
Of satisfaction as well that some
times seems to justify ones ex-
istence. The man or woman who
fails to register and vote does
not feel so good about it after
all. The person who avoids any
citizenship obligation deep down
may be ashamed.
Through citizenship we gain
many advantages.
Therefore we also owe a great
deal to the nation of which we
ought To form 50 importAmA q

MEDITATTONS
OF A WIFE
By Helen Rowland
Daughters Of Eve


Ho-hum! It's so difficult to
persuade a man that, these days,
the most costly part of an eve-
ming gown is what's cut out at
the back.
Some women seem to have a
positive weakness for worthless,
lightweight men. But what or
it? Most men have a positive
complex for that kind of women.
Ennui is that tired feeling a
girl has. when the right man
leaves at 10 o'clock, and the
wrong man hangs around until
closing time.
Somehow, it Is much easier to
listen to man when he Is
criticizing your faults, than when
he is praising some other woman's
charms.
A mans social distinction no
longer depends upon his birth,
culture or ancestry. It appears
to depend mostly upon the num-
ber of motor cars he keeps. and
the number of ex-wives to whom
he can afford to pay alimony.
Many a man who takes
secret pride in his wife, seems to
be afraid that she might suspect
it. If he treated her with any
flattering attention in public.
The world Is like a roller
coaster. Sit tight, keep your
head, and hold onto nothing but
your conscience, your indepen-
dence and your ideals, and you'll
land safely, somehow.
A mans idea of a thrifty wife,
Is one who can stretch out a
dollar bill like a rubber band, and
make it go all the way round the
marketing. His idea of reason
able wife is one who will be all
ready, promptly, at the hour he
appoints, and then greet him
with a smile of joy. when he
arrives an hour later.
Man Is more consistent than
all evening on "efficiency"--and
then forget to wind the clock,
until after he puts out all the
lights.
