LOGANSPORT, Ind, July 16.--A
daughter Of distinguished English
parentage, Mrs. Vivienne Hunting
ton Durham, and her husband, AL
fred Cecil Durham, whom she mar
ried as London newsboy four
months ago, began housekeeping in
furnished rooms today in Logans-
port, where Durham will take up the
trade of an electrician.
Mrs. Durham is the daughter Of
Charles Pratt Huntington. noted
English army officer, and the great
granddaughter of E. D. Pratt, late
United States senator from Indiana,
whose home was in Logansport.
The couple were married in the
English capital after a short ro-
nance and moved to Toronto, where
Durham became an electricians APP

said, to escape publicity.
Although Mrs. Durham reputedly

AIR UPREMACY
RACE MAY VOID
TREATY RESULT
Japan Reported Making Up
London Arms Cut by
Building Planes.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, July 16.--While
the senate haggles over the rati-
fication Of the London naval treaty.
the makings Of a new race for sea
power already are in evidence.
Information from Toxic reveals
that any money saved from her
warship building program will be
spent, with some thrown in for good
measure, on increasing the Japanese
air forces. both military and naval.
1t is learned that the extension of
the army air fleet to about thirty
battalions from the present seven
teen and one-half battalions: the
increase Of the naval air fleet by
two or three times, and the build
ing of an additional aircraft car
rier. are planned by Admiral Tani-
guchi, the new chief of the naval
staff. A battalion is composed Of
approximately forty planes.
Planes Unrestricted
These increases in Japan's air
forces, It was stated, are ito make
up for the deficiency OF naval
strength resulting from the London
naval conference"
Precisely what happened after the
Washington conference of 1922,
therefore, appears on the point of
being repeated. Then all the great
powers, except the United States,
took the money they saved by limit
ing capital ships and aircraft car
riers and spent it to build swarms of
cruisers, which the conference
failed to limit. AS result the
United States soon was left far be-
hind.
Today the London conference
having limited all categories of war
ships, signs are multiplying that
some of the powers represented at
London now intend to spend the
money thus saved to expand their
al fleets which alone are left un-
restricted.
Justify Expansion
Just how far Japan will go In it's
plane expansion program has not
been decided definitely. A6ruiral
Kato, former chief of the naval
staff, insisted that, after London,
Japan should increase the number
of her land planes to forty battal-
ions. The new chief, Admiral TAM
guchi, thinks about thirty would
suffice.
This difference of opinion, how
ever, is more apparent than real, for
the new chief would add to the
naval air feet what he might take
from the army.
In addition to building new car
rier, he plans to triple the number
of planes aboard the Akagi and the
Kaga-Japan'S Lexington and Sara
toga-and double the number car
ried by the hattleships and cruisers.
The japanese justify the proposed
expansion by calling attention to
what Britain, France, Italy and the
United States are doing. In the
United States a final appropriation
of approximately $12,000,000 has
been made available to complete the
five-year program Of 1926.
Behind schedule, this should
be finished in two more years, when
the American navy will have at It's
disposal about 1000 planes.

crs among the peasants of Russia. but
also as a method of checking the drift

Unemployment situation.
The Importance of this latter con-
sideration has been emphasized by
a report on the number of idle. The
latest figures fixed this at 1,241 .OOO
in the middle of January. Most OF
those who were out of work were
women. or children under l8 years of
age. and the big majority Of the en-
tire list was made up of unslilled la
hor.
analysed the figures concluded that
the chief cause of the situation was
the constant stream of peasants from
the villages. These people were seen
rs activated by a desire to work in
the larger communities, rather than
leMain in the country.
In planning the project of indus
tllsllzing farm work, the government
has taken steps therefore. to make
the collective farms as attractive as
the cities, Recreational centers are
to be established in the state rural
communities and facilities given for
the same sort of political and econ
omic instruction that is afforded city
workers.

the number of persons working for
hire in the soviet union has doubled
IL five years. In August, 1929. the to-
tai reached above 10000, 900 and by
the same time this year it is predicted
that this will have grown to above
/ 3 ,OOo. 600.
Having more than a million and
3 quarter Of unemployed. and at the
same time experiencing a lack of
skilled labor. the government has
opened a chain Of trade schools for
unSkilled workers. These have been
planned to instruct 100. 900 in house
building. 200,0 900 in factory work and
rs many as will in the operation Of
tractors and ether farm machinery.
A definite percentage of women
must be admitted to these training
courses. Also. in order to give a
chance to some of the thousands of
unskiiled youths who yearly enter the
ranks OF the unemployed. a special
"iraustrialization enrolment has
been instituted by the peoples COM
missariat of labor which is planned
to provide 10000 apprentices for fac
