LAVAL VISIT SEEN
HISTORICAL EVENT
Issues to Be Taken Up With
Hoover Outweigh Those
Macdonald Faced.
BY the Associated Press.

A reconciliation of divergent views as
to the best method OF preserving the
peace OF the world will be sought this
week when Premier Laval of France
crosses the threshold of the White
House.
With possible ultimate result as far
reaching as any in diplomatic his
tory, President Hoover and the French
premier will seek a mutual basis of
thought on the political and economic
problems which are corallaries Of world
peace.
Two years ago Ramsay Macdonald.
prime minister of Great Britain, and
the Chief Executive. in the solitude Of
the Presidents Virginia camp, solved
a problem. The solution led to the
London Naval Conference, and, event.
ually. to the limitation of the Ameri-
can, British and Japanese naval forces
A fast-moving change in world az
fairs, however, now presents the Presi-
dent and the French statesman with
problems far more complex than those
Of two years ago.
Two Subjects Slated.
Mr. Hoover has two primary subjects
which he expects to discuss at length
with the French premier. These are
disarmament and the international
cCOLlOIlN SAIudLlOIl, DuL lie QO6S IlOI eA-
pect solution of either to be recorded
a day or a week after the departure
Of the French statesman. Secretary
Stimson has advised the President
against the preparation Of a fixed and
definite plan for the conversations. but
the Chief Executive Is known to have
some well defined thoughts on both
problems.
The French attitude toward disarma-
ment Is that a reduction Of forces can
only be sequel to guarantees of Sc
curity. The Presidents attitude is that
world arms are an unbearable economic
burden threatening world peace and
must be reduced.
AS to the actual method Of reducing
arms, the two nations have long been
in disagreement. France favors a
budgetary limitation, or limitation by
comparative costs of forces. The United
States has long contended that the
most effective way of reducing arma-
ments is by direct cuts Of ships, guns
or personnel.
Compromise Suggested.
A compromise suggestion put forward
recently at Geneva contemplated a
modified Judiciary limitation in
which instead of one nations arms bud
get being compared with that Of an
other, 1t would be compared with its
owns budget of previous year or pc
Rod Of years. While the United States
has never formally identified itself with
sucht a plan, the indications have been
it would give the compromise serious
consideration.
President Hoover cannot assure the
French premier of an American guar
antee Of Frances security in return for
a reduction of ornaments. Such a plan
would meet immediate opposition in
Congress.
Provisions for a Consultation" in
event Of threats against national Sc
curity were held by some officials to be
the opening for a mutual basis Of con-
versations between the two chiefs of
government on the security question.
The United States in participating last
week in consultations at Geneva over
the invocation of the Kellogg BRAND
anti-war treaty set precedent for
America in such action.

last night, which, after giving a history
of the Manchurian conflict from a jap
anese viewpoint, said:
The Chinese government has given
assurance that it will protect our ma
tionals and their goods. Japan is ex-
tremely pleased with this excellent in
tention. but she Mas still some hesita-
ton regarding its realization. especially
in the present over-excited state Of
China herself.
1.-The League of Nations, we are told,
would be ready to assume the entire re-
sponsibility for the security Of our pop
ulation and their properties after the
retreat of our troops. 1t would obvi-
ousiy be most fortunate II the League
could find a way to accomplish this.
THE lives Of hundreds Of thousands
of japanese people and their goods are
entirely too important to permit the
japanese government to run risks which
now, unfortunately, are too evident.
THE japanese delegation ardently
hopes that the Council considering the
situation in the light Of realities. may
assist through its deliberate and calm
action, its confidence in Japan's good
will, and just appreciation Of the cir
cumstances, a real appeaSement which
is desired by all, and this will be in the
eyes of the world a striking proof Of the
moral authority and benificence Of the
League of Nations"
No Public Session Today.
The Council learned there have been
some contacts between Chinese and
Japanese diplomats in the Far East
calculated to be of value for concilia-
ton and, perhaps, for opening direct
negotiations. Points" which might
serve as a basis for future discussions
were advanced by representatives OF
both countries, 1t was said.
In view of these signs which were
called hopeful, the Council decided not
to hold a public session today. but TO
render what assistance It could by
private discussions with Chinese and
Japanese representatives.
M. BRAND was expected to talk
with Kenkichi Yoshizawa, representing
Japan, and DR.. Alfred SEE. the Chinese
delegate, to urge continuance OF the
pacific disposition disclosed. The
Council considered the American nego-
tiations as having exerted q useful in
fiuence on the situation; it was said.

the troubled world is faced into the
mind and heart Of every American man
and woman. Our country and the
world are today involved In more than
q financial crisis. We are faced with
the primary question OF human rela-
tionS, which reaches to the very depth
Of organized society and to the very
depth Of human conscience. This civil
lization, this great complex, which we
call American life. Is builded and can
alone survive upon the translation into
individual action Of that fundamental
philosophy announced by the Savior l9
centuries ago. Part Of our national
suffering today is from failure to
observe these primary Vt memorable
laws Of human relationship. Modern
society cannot survive with the de-
tense OF Cain, Am I my brothers
keeper?'
Asks Real Thanksgiving Day.
mo governmental action, no eco
nomic doctrine, no economic plan or
project can replace that God-impoSed
responsibility Of the individual man and
woman to their neighbors. That Is a
vital part Of the very soul Of the people.
II We shall gain in this spirit IRON this
painful time, we shall have created a
greater and more glorious America. The
trial OF 1t Is here now. 1t Is trial OF
the heart and conscience, Of individual
men and women.
In little over q month we shall
celebrate our time-honored festival Of
Thanksgiving. I appeal to the Amer
lean people to make November 20 next
the outstanding Thanksgiving day In
the history Of the United States; that
we may say on that day that America
has again demonstrated her ideals; that
we have each Of us contributed our full
part; that we in each OF our communi-
ties have given full assurance against
hunger and cold among our people;
that upon this Thanksgiving day we
have removed the fear Of the forthcom-
ing Winter from the hearts Of all who
are suffering and in distress-that We
are our brothers keeper.
Il am on my way to participate in
the commemoration Of the victory Of
Yorktown. It Is a name which brings
a glow of pride to every American. 1t
recalls the final victory Of our people
after years of sacrifice and privation.
This nation passed through Valley
Forge and came to yorktown.

Teachers Donate
Pay To Charity

Teachers of the El Centro gram
mar schols were the first to volun-
teer one days salary to the un-
employment funds, the action TAX
ing place at teachers meeting
held last night.
This is in conformance with the
national move for financing unem-
ployment relief funds.
Several of the teachers thought
it would be a good idea to donate
two days salary but it finally was
decided that 100 per cent dona-
ton of one days salary would be
the best idea.
When monthly salary checks are
distributed, the donated sum will be
collected and turned over to the
proper agencies.
The information was given War
rem Currier, chairman of the Red
Cross financial drive, when he
called at the office of B. NJ. Cru
well, district superintendent, this
morning.
This is wonderful thing for
our teachers to do" said Currier,
like action on the part of other
organizations will make the task
Of financing easier than was con-
templated.
