ture is going to combat nerves in
the next generation by furnishing
little zones of restful, quiet re-
treats around each center Of activ-

tire for his private life. They will
not be like the suburbs of today
half-country, half-city, but verit-
able forest hooks, with trees, mea-

I TREATY STIRS
NEW BATTLE

Controversy between the Senate
and the Administration over the
London Naval Treaty flared anew
today in the wake Of violently
conflicting assertions of Secretary
of State Stimson and Senator
Oddie RO Of Nevada, treaty
opponent.
Stimson, in a radio address
over the weekend, branded naval
officers who testified before
Senate committees considering
the treaty as "intolerant and mar
row" in their opposition to the
pact.
Oddie, in a vigorous denial of
these charges, expressed resent
ment to Stimson's charges, and
declared the naval officers were
called not at their own request,
and only gave the facts as they
saw them.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, meanwhile. continued
consideration of the naval arms
limitation agreement, intent on
approving and reporting it
favorably to the Senate during
this week.
In spite of disgruntlement in
committee at the policy of the
Administration in refusing access
to secret papers, leaders predicted
action in committee would come
by Wednesday or Thursday. Op-
ponents of the pact were con-
serving further attacks on the
document for the floor Of the
Senate. They hoped to postpone
action on it unt.N next fall, at
least.

CANADA To HALT
j. s. TRADE

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 11.-Safe'
ly barricaded behind the greatest
parliamentary majority any Cana
dian government has enjoyed since
the war, the new Bennett conserv.
ative ministry drove deciSively
ahead today with its program Of
economic rehabilitation-a pro-
gram of incalculable Importance
to American business.
The next 48 hours probably will
see the outright appropriation of
$50, 900, 900 for unemployment re-
lief, a. not inconsiderable sum for
any government. and for Canada
an unprecedented governmental
undertaking.
Premier, Quotes Cleveland
Nowhere in Canada-at least in
governmental circles-iS it admit
ted that the forthcoming Canadian
tariff is "retaliatory." If it seems
to be, wen, that is just too bad.
"It is q condition, not a the
ory that we confront"
So exclaimed Prime Minister
Richard S. Bennett, in addressing
parliament, and referring to the
Canadian unemployment situation.
Consciously or unconSciously he
was repeating the phrase made IA
nous by an American. President,
Grover Cleveland, in dealing with
serious economic situation in
America nearly half a century ago.
The new premier furnished
the Parliament with the first
figures that purport to be au-
tentic concerning Canada's TN.
employment. In eight Of the IL
provinces in the Dominion, he
said, the figures showed that ap-
proximately 10000 men were now
out of work, with the eXpecta-
ton that this number would ex.
ceed 100000 before the winter is
well advanced.
Promises To Be Kept
Taunted by his opponents with
inability to carry out his cam
paign promise of ending unem-
ployment, the Premier responded
grimly:
SThe promises we made we
will keep"
One of those promises is to
enact the highest tariff rates the
country has ever seen-rateS that
are commensurate with those con-
tanned in the Smoot- -Hawley bill.
foreign trade with Can
ada. amounting to almost bill
lion dollars a year, must be read
