NAVAL ACCORD
MAI BRING new
EUROPE CRISIS
FranCo-I Italian Truce Is
Boon to Peace, but Hard
to Fit in Picture.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs
scripps- Howard FOREIGN Editor


WASHINGTON, March H-In
Itself a boon TO European peace, the
Franco-Italian naval truce may
turn out to be a case Of out Of the
frying pan into the fire. The crucial
arms conference OF 1882 will decide
While it universally was admitted
that the peace Of the old world
never could be other than an ex-
tremely wobbly affair as long as
France and italy quarreled over
parity at sea, still it remains a ma
ior problem Of diplomacy to make
the accord permanent without up
setting the European applicant.
The difficulty is that Europe is
divided into two hostile camps.
One group, headed by Germany, is
determined to revise the treaty Of
Versailles, redraw the frontiers of
the continent and revise, if not abol-
ish, PREPARATIONS payments.
Group to Resist Revision :
The other, headed by France, is
Just as determined to prevent any,
thing Of the sort. This group
stands prepared to take whatever
steps are necessary to prevent re-
vision--armed force, if armed force
is required.
Italy, it SO happens, has been
playing ball with Germany and the
revisionist school, up to the present.
Italy, who, in 1915, as member Of
the triple alliance-with Germany
and Austria--saw fit to switch over
TO allied side, now seems about to
make history repeat itself.
Behind the scenes on the diplo-
matte stage much whispering is
going on.
The gist of it is that Italy may
now obtain, If not all she wants, at
least satisfactory measure Of,
treaty revision by private dickering
with France. She would like GER
tain North African boundaries re-
vised and some other things to
which France must agree, and if
she wins out in this, Germany and
the revisionists likely are to lose
her support.
New Tension in Germany
The Franco italian accord means
much to Europe and the world.
1t will tend to ease the politica,
tension and war-fear which of Iatc
has done so much to freeze credit
paralyze business and promote un-
employment and hard times.
But unless it can be made to fl
into the general European peace pic
ture little will have been perma-
nently gained.
Already increasing alarm is re-
ported in Germany, where it is felt
that, once more, the country is
menaced by a ring Of steel.
On the west is France and Bel.
GUM. On the east and south are q
hostile Poland, Czechoslovakis, Ru-
mania and Yugoslavia, all allies Of
France.
1t is easy to see that if Italy nov
joins this group, even if only on a
basis of mutual interest, q new and
dangerous factor will be introduced
into the chronically precar.ous sit
uation.

NEAHATMA GANDHI, who had
IV1 stuck by the British lion in
the Boer, Zulu and World wars, be-
cause he believed in the inherent
justice Of the British people, even
though he distrusted British gov
eminent and governors, finally lost
all faith in the crucial years 1919
and 1920.
He had once believed so much.
He now believed no longer. In 1903
he had written that there was no
impossible barrier between east and
west. He now saw such a barrier.
A series Of events shocked him to
the marrow.
There was the terrible Amritsar
tragedy. Native mobs had killed
several Europeans. British troops
took terrible revenge.
Hundreds Of natives were killed
and wounded, many were flogged,
others imprisoned, still others COM
PEELED to crawl on hands and knees
and apologize. In 1920 the British
house of lords refused to pass a re-
solution condemning those respon-
sible.
About the same time the Treaty
Of Sevres was signed. This shat
tered every hope the Moslems Of
India had that Britain would see
that generous treatment was ac-
corded Turkey after the World war.

a T a meeting of the all-India
IA national congress in Sep
TENDER, 1920, Gandhi assented
to movement to refuse to CO.
operate any longer with the British
government in India until these
and other wrongs were righted and
until Swaraj-home rule-was
gained. This policy was called
"nonviolent nonco-operation."
Gandhi was responsible for this
insistence upon nonviolence. He
had learned the value of passive
resistance as a weapon in his South
African struggles.
The sacred writing Of his own
Hindu sages and those of the New
Testament had reinforced this be-
lief. He held that Jesus Christ
Daniel and Socrates presented the
purest forms of passive resistance
or soul-force.
They all counted their bodies as
nothing in comparison with Their
souls.
He quickly returned his British
war medals and issued his non
cooperation proclamation to the
people, calling upon them:
To abandon all honorific title:
and functions; not to participate ir
any governmental loans; to boy.
colt the law courts and lawyers anc
arrange their disputes by private
arbitration; to boycott the govern
ment schools; to refuse all civi,
and military posts; to use goods

OHIO CELEBRATES
BIRTH OF GARFIELD
tooth Anniversary of TWen-
tieth President Observed at
Hiram and Cleveland.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HIRAM, Ohio, November 19.-Ohio
broadcast to the Nation today a me-
mortal to one of the States most
distinguished sons.
1t was the Tooth anniversary Of the
birth of James Abram Garfield, twen-
tieth President of the United States.
Speakers here and in Cleveland re-
called the tragic days in 1881 through
which the Nation waited for word
from the bedside of the President in
Elberon, N. j., where he lay mortally
wounded from an aSsassin's bullet.
Clevelanders recalled the solemn pro-
cession and Public Square and Lakeview
Cemetery, where q high stone tower
stands to his memory.
Happier Days Recalled.
Happier days of the Presidents life
also were brought to rnind-when as
boy he waded in the streams around
his birthplace in Orange Township,
Cuyahoga County, and of hard work
to help his widowed mother, or blight
ed ambitions to sail the Great Lakes
and of long trips as a boatman along
the old Ohio-Pennsylvania Canal.
The days in Hiram were some Of the
most important in his life. He came
here at 20 to attend the Western Re-
serve Eclectic Institute, as Hiram
College was then known, and six years
later he was president of the institution.
1t was the citizens of this region who
elected Garfield to the State Senate and
Congress and who bid farewell to him
as he Joined the Union Army in the
Civil War, from which he returned as
q general.
EuIogized by Son.
Some old settlers still could recall
him today as a man with heavy black
muStache and beard and with towering
strength.
His house on North Campus street,
where he 'set up housekeeping" with
his young bride, is one of the historic
sights of the town.
High spots in the memorial services,
attended by the Presidents kin, were
the address at Hiram College by Henry
Augustus Garfield, president of Will
liams College, in eulogy of his dis
tinguished father; services at the Gar
field Memorial Church near the birth
place, and the placing of boulder on
the four-acre plot marking the birth
place.

JUNEAU PIONEER
 STEPS OFF PIER INTO EYER NIFTY
Theodore H. Torkelson s Body Found on Wil-
 loughby Ave. Beach

Theodore H. Torkelson, 62 years old, resident of Juneau for more than 30 years, was accidentally drowned last night in the waters |of the city's harbor. His body was found early this forenoon on the beach in the rear of the gaso- line filling station at the corner of Main Street and Willoughby Avenue. Pending arrangements for the funeral, the remains are at the Charles w. Carter MJrtu- ary.
 The body was first observed at 6 o'clock this morning by Clifford Matthews. where it had been left by the receding tide. He at once telephoned the Fire Department, and a truck with several firemen hastened to the scene.
 Accidental Death
 After merely inspecting the re- mains, J. L. Gray. fire chief, mo- tified United States Commissioner Charles Sey, who in his capacity as coroner decided that death had occurred several hours previously that it was accidental and that there was no occasion for an in- quest. The body then was re- moved by firemen to the Carter mortuary
 Torkelson is supposed, while the tide was in, to have stepped off the wharf near the, place where his remains were found.
 For many years Torkelson had followed the trade of locksmith. His place of business and living quarters were in building owned by Isador Goldstein south of the Juneau Lumber Mills on Lower Front Street.
 Estate Worth $1,OO0
 The estate of the dead man consists of his tools and a small stock of goods, the whole, it is estimated. worth not more than $1 ,000. Isadore Goldstein will be appointed administrator.
 TorkelSon was born in Bergen. Norway, where his mother and his sister still live. He has a brother, George Torkelson, carpenter and locksmith, who formerly dwelt in Juneau, who now is resident of Seward.
 The brother has been notified of the death. Funeral arrangements await word from him.

The section that the borer hol- Jews out reveals not only the trees age but the conditions of growth during every year of it's life.
 Sections from trees in the drought stricken states show very thin rings for 1930. Some trees show two rings for the same year. Rain that broke the drought temporarily encouraged them to new burst of growth af- ter the first spring spurt had been stopped by lack of moisture.
 Study of the rate of growth of sample trees reveals what the fu- ture growth of a forest will be. A scientist expert at reading the rings can translate their meaning into board feet or cords of wood that will be available at come future date.

No Ra dio, No Pontoons Will Be Carried on
 Projected Air Trip

SAMUSITIRO, Japan, May 29- The problem of getting his mono plane Pacific Into the air with one ton and a half of fuel aboard. is the chief concern of Thomas Ash. jr., on the eve of his projected Pacific flight from here to Tacoma, Washington.
 Everything is in readiness to give Ash smooth start tomorrow.
 Runway Planked
 The runway is planked for more than 200 yards after which the plane should taxi along the bare beach for a mile or more during which it is intended speed will be attained of 70 miles an hour be- fore taking the air.
 "If I can only get the plane into the air, will feel half of the bat tie is won." said Ash.
 Girls Decorate
 Japanese girls were up all last night sewing strips of red, white and blue muslin and lot of white stars on blue field, resembling the American flag and decorating an evergreen arch by a villager over the roadway which Ash will take to board his plane.
 The arch bore the word, 'Wel- come" both in English and Japan ese.
 The plane has been stripped of every ounce of superfluous metal to tighten the load He will carry no radio or pontoons. Ash is only worried over the cumbersomeness and hard manipulating of the plane.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 2e.- Walter Lees and Frederick Brossy succeeded in their ambition to stay aloft in an airplane without re- fueling, longer than man had done before.
 They landed their diesel -motored monoplane on the beach at 7:2O o'clock last night setting a worlds non-fueling endurance record of 84 hours and B minutes. This is nine hours and ten minutes better than the former mark made by two Frenchmen in Algeria last March.
 This was the third attempt at a mark. A leak in an oil tank ended the first attempt last March and a storm forced them down in April.
