 bition to domineer over Europe He indicated his desire, in visiting the United States, to journey be- yond the seaboard, particularly to Chicago to get in touch with mid- western opinion. He also hopes for a personal, heart-to-heart talk with Senator William E. Borah. whom he regards as representing the backbone of hostility in the United States against the present French government.
 Laval stressed his idea that France is the pillar of Europe and must protect financially the mili- tarily the temporarily weaker pow CTS against the danger of commun- ism. He wants President Hoover he said, to understand the French viewpoint and avoid the renewal of surprise "bombshell" such as the Hoover debt plan announcement.
 Laval intends going to Washing. ton accompanied only by a few aides and no other members of his government. He asks that the usual diplomatic formalities be avoided to permit frank study of the mutual positions of the two countries on disarmament and rep arations, on which he is prepared for reasonable" French sacrifices. He prefers that the conversations hinge on the economic rather than the political angles of the two sub- jects.

Harris Elated;
 Believes Quota
 Will Be Reached
Chairman Confident Waterbury Will Contribute De- sired Weekly Sum in Order to Eliminate Suffer- ing Among Under Employed During the Winter

Wear the red button" was the slogan sounded to-day by Chair man William M. Harris as the drive for pledges to aid the un- employed from October 1st to May 1st continued with much progress shown. In other words, MT Harris' slogan is taken to indicate that everybody who has contributed or signed a pledge card for the Octo- ber-May period should wear the merit button awarded him or her. The buttons. are now being distrib- uted as each individual signs a pledge card and business houses, industrial plants, office and mis- ce1laneous concerns are being given their 100 per cent cards as soon as their employees all sign up.
 Chairman Harris was especially jubilant today over the coopera- tion being shown in the present drive. He declared that the showing being made is excellent and that he feels that Waterbury will make a very much better showing than

 It is figured that the work of getting in the pledges will be com pleted by next Monday. This means that if the committee realizes the $4000 weekly income over the past income by next Monday, the re- lief work of the city beginning on it's new lap on October 1st will be assured of sufficient hearty financial backing to discourage any talk of failure in the task of caring for the unemployed during the winter months

House was advised of this hopeful outlook before MT Hoover left Washington Legion leaders said they believed MT Hoover had been tactful in his appeal. Had he been more abrupt and threatened to veto bonus legislation they said, it might have melted the service men to go on record.
 Upon his return here to-day, Mir Hoover had many phases of the British suspension of the gold standard and its effect upon the United States to consider with his advisors. One of the chief consid- erations is understood to be the psychological reaction upon the American public which, according to administration officials already has permitted exaggerated fears" to gain ground.

CHINA TROUBLES ARE CONSIDERED
 BY THE LEAGUE
Tense Feeling as Dele- gates Hear the Protests Against the Attacks of Japanese
BY FRERERICK KUH United Press Stan Correspondent

(Un1tc0 FfcSS StAM NOrEcsp0uuchtJ
 Geneva. Sept. 22.-(UP).-The League of Nations council con- vened in a tense atmosphere to- day to consider China's appeal for intervention nj the Japanese occu- patton of Mukden.
 Public galleries and locations re- served for the press, diplomats and league functionaries were packed.
 pr. Sac Ke Alfred Sze, Chinese minister to London and chief of the Chinese delegation to the league, charged Japan with seizure and oc- cupation of part of the Peiping railway, seizure of many Chinese officials, transfer of the Japanese military staff into Mukden, and heavy destruction of life and prop erty.
 He gave the latest casualties as 600 Chinese killed and charged that 1000 were held prisoners.
 Kenkichi Yoshiwawa, Japanese ambassador to Paris and represen- tative on the league council, went to his seat and remained there un- til the meeting convened.
 League leaders were manifestly EaS2Cu OCC0nSC tASy idShCu such a leader as Aristide Briand. Arthur Henderson. or Sir Austen Chamberlain to handle the situa- ton. Lord Robert Cecil of England held a hurried conversation with Rene Massigli of France.
 Yoshizawa, speaking to tense session of the league council, de- clared that Japan did not intend to wage war on China. He said that China had just proposed direct me- gotiations with Japan with a view to settlement of the Manchurian conflict. The proposal, he said was well received" in Tokio.
 Disregarding the Chinese insist ence on the councils immediate Yoshizawa demanded that further discussion be post poned until the next meeting.
 Tt would be premature to inter- the Japanese delegate told the council. Intervention might over-excite public opinion in Japan and thus make settlement more difficult'
 Yoshizawa, concluding his argu- ments, said he felt that direct ne- gotiations between China and Jap an would be the best means of set clement.

HOOVER SPEECH BEFORE LEGION MAY OBEYED
While He Did Not Mention "VetO" He Tinted Very Strongly as to His In-' tentiOnS
By RAYMOND CHAPTER United Press Correspondent

Washington. Sept 22. (UP)- The grim tone of President Hoov- CTS American Legion speech at Detroit was regarded by his asso- ciates here to-day as reliable in- dex to the attitude the White House will take in the gigantic struggle over many forms of fed eral relief in the coming winter. His reference to an emergency "second only to war;" his appeal to the war veterans for virtual moratorium on their demands un- til after the depression, his asser- tion that the government treasury can bear no additional drain with out grave risks and his declara- ] ton that an attempt to bring heavy taxes out of the rich would soon strike the point of diminish | ing returns and throw the burden l on those who work in the fields, and at bench and desk, presented a council of caution for the whole country.
 While the short word "veto" did not appear in his address, his asso- ciates saw in his address a fore cast that the presidential pen would be pointed against expensive relief legislation next winter. The Quaker presidents message to the Legion bristled with the terms "war" and fight" he gave in- ferential warning there will be no White House moratorium on veto messages.
 In this address MT Hoover re- vealed the first hint of his attitude toward increasing agitation for heavier taxes on the rich led by Represent Isaac Bacharach, veal thy New Jersey republican and in fuential on the house ways and means committee.
 Do not be misled by those who say that we need only to tax the l rich to secure the funds we need" MT Hoover told the Legion. we must face the absolute fact that the rich can be taxed to the point of diminishing returns, and still | the deficit in our ordinary and ne- cessary expenditures would not be covered even upon basis of the utmost economy"
 As the presidential party left l Detroit members were told that administration friends in the Le- zion were confident the convention would refrain from demanding full payment of bonus certificates. The matter, it was forecast in informa- ton given the presidential party, would be let to the executive com mittee for decision next winter in the light of conditions at that time.

 It is sad that so many children learn the lesson only when 1t is too late. They say. "Oh, dad! Cor oh, motherD I want a. rifle" and they beg for one so hard that, in some cases the parents give in and buy them a weapon of death.

At ten cents dance, a girl would have to click off thirty dances in an evening to receive three dollars. That would be more miles than @ taxi travels for the same amount.
 Why do girls try this sort of thing then? Some of them are made jazz mad by the sound of syncopat- ed music. They are intoxicated by the dance just as others gre by strong spirits. Some seek the excite. ment of meeting new friends. Some hope for romance and some are only looking for job. Well. there the few more difficult ways to earn Q living.
