PLIGHT OF G. O. P. LIKENED
TO THAT OF WING PARTY
Col. Donovan Makes Comparison
and Advocates Repeal of Dry
Law in Speech.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 19.-Advo-
eating repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment, Col. William j. Donovan, former
Assistant United States Attorney Gen
eral, likened the position of the Re-
publican party yesterday TO the plight Of
the Wing party before the Civil War.
THE disintegration of the Wing
party in the slavery controversy Is IL
Illustrative" he said speaking before the
Young Republican Club. "That organ
ization in the SOS found the slavery
issue loaded with political, moral and
emotional dynamite.
THE Wings did not meet the logic
OF events. Guided by short-sighted ex-
pediency and timidity, they persisted in
a policy of evasion. Because of this the
party failed.
To-day the Republican party is con-
fronted with a crisis not unlike that
which the Wing party failed to meet.
1t is faced with the issue of prohibition.
Although primarily a social and eco
nomic problem, 1t must now be dealt
with by governmental action"

WAR MINERALS BAN
lis URGED FOR PEACE
British MetaIIurgist Proposes
Kellogg Pact Amendment
to Curb Materials.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 30.-Peace en-
forcement by prohibition of expectation
Of minerals was the proposal last night
by Sir Thomas Holland, distinguished
metallurgist, in speech to the Royal
Society of Arts.
Modern warfare, he said, demands
great quantities Of minerals. He there
fore proposed that all Signatories Of
the kellogg pact for remuneration OF
war adopt an additional clause en-
towering the government of each, If
and when necessary, to prohibit export
OF mineral products to any nation vio-
lating the multilateral treaty.
AngIO-U. S. Pact Is Suggested.
The scheme could be initiated by
agreement between the British empire
and the United States, which between
them, under his estimates, own about
two-thirds of the known workable de-
posts of minerals and commercially
control about quarters of them.
Sir Thomas, a native of Canada, has
been chairman Of the Empire Council,
Mining and Metallurgical Institutions
since 1927.
His proposals last night drew a variety
of comment in the Five-power Naval
Conference circles, ranging from a
favorable response by the French and
Italians, through the non-commital in
terestS of the British and Japanese, to
the unfavorably reaction from Amer
leans.
The consensus of the American dele
CATION, the opinion being given unof-
flcially, was that the scientists pro-
posals were impracticable and largely
unavoidable. 1t was said that such a
rider to the Kellogg treaty would pro-
vide no more authority than Congress
now has.
Kellogg Opposes Sanctions"
Former Secretary Kellogg himself had
privately expressed to newspaper men
on several occasions his desire to see the
treaty let alone as far as sanctions or
strengthening" processes are con-
cerned.
Foreign Minister Aristide BRAND was
understood to feel that peace could be
consolidated by some reinforcement of
the Kellogg pact
It was pointed out that an embargo
on raw materials used to make cannon
and munitions would be merely an in
direct form Of penahzation and that 1t
would not possess the disadvantage to
some nations Of being a direct form of
penalties against the aggressor, as, for
example, in blockade or punitive expedi-
tons either on land or sea.
The Holland plan would weigh more
heavily on the poorer countries than on
those plentifully supplied with raw ma
terialS.

PACT ON TONNAGE
D|SPELS CLOUDS
Categorical Strength Agree
ment Contains Compromise
on Transfer Proposal.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE,
STAR Correspondent Of the star

SCAu correspondent OF the Star.
BY Gable to The Star.
LONDON, January 30.-A bright sun
burst gloriously through the great win
dows Of Queen Anne's drawing room in
st. James Palace this morning a few
minutes after IL o'clock, the first time
it has been visible in London in a week.
1t was highly symbolical happening,
for it synchronized almost to the mo-
ment with registration of the first
major decision so far reached at the
five-power naval conference.
After the addresses of the spokesman
for Italy, America, France and Great
Britain, in the order named, It was
made known that the way at last had
been paved for agreement on the vital
question Of how limitation of tonnage
should be imposed. It is to be on the cate
gorical basis, so strongly urged by the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan, and not on the global tonnage
basis, hitherto as vigorously demanded
by France and Italy.
The agreement represents a compro-
mise. It accepts the suggestion that
France originate at previous disarma-
ment conferences In Geneva for the
so-called transfer" system. Under
this scheme, 1t will be possible for the
country which wishes q somewhat Diff
ferent allotment of its tonnage in GER
tain categorieS to obtain q revision of
the previously fixed category allowance
on an agreed percentage basis.
What this percentage will be is as
yet undetermined. Ten per cent is the
figure around which the discussion of
the transfer basis continues to range.
There Is an important proviso in the
transfer" compromise. No navy shall
be entitled to lop on 10 or any other
per cent OF the category of smaller
vessels and graft 1t onto the category
OF more powerful ships, like big cruis-
erS, aircraft carriers or battleships.
The sun now has broken through the
naval limitation mist and fog which
have prevailed for the past four years.
Since 1925, with the opening session of
the League Preparatory Commission at
Geneva, through the abortive Coolidge
three-power conference there In 1927
and lasting until the preparatory COM
missions deliberations in the Spring
OF 1929, the naval powers have been
cropping In the dark for a solution Of
the tonnage problem.
1t has been found at last. Today'g
third plenary session didn't actually
produce the solution as an accomplished
fact. But as Premier Ramsey Mac
donald so beamingly explained to news
paper men after adjournment, "the diff
ference still requiring ironing out has
