DISPUTE BRITISH

CRUISER CLAIM
Any Solution Means
Big Dispute

A note from the U. S. state de-
partment, drafted after two days Of
continuous conferences between navy
heads, President Hoover and Secre-
tary of State Stimson, has been dis
patched, and according to press re-
ports from London, received today
by Ambassador Dawes and will be
Immediately presented to Premier
Macdonald.
Although the note is officially
secret, it is stated on good authority
that it protests emphatically against
British imperialism's requirement
of 100000 cruiser tonnage. The
U. S. imperialists are claiming that
the tonnage of American cruisers
to be built is $4,000 less. They in

on the basis of so cruisers for Eng

While it is considered here that
due to economic and diplomatic
pressure, one side or the other may

officially declared, this difference

Beaver Skins as Money.

One Of the attractions offered by this
country to the early explorers and set
tiers, was the great abundance OF the
beavers to be had with little trouble.
and at the same time there wss con-
slant demand In Europe for the same
skins. The result was that for CEN
fury or more beaver pelts were a COM
mon unit of barter from Quebec to New
York. The beavers were nearly wiped
out. but there is a moderate supply OF
them today and the center OF the beaver
tribe Is Michigan. 1t is a conservative
estimate that in that part OF the State
referred to as above the strait" there
are 10000 of these animals. Almost
exterminated In the lower Peninsula, in
1900, their numbers have been notably
increased in periods of closed seasons.
