LEAGUE SPLITS
|. ON NAMING Of
PARLEY HEAD.
Nations Unable to Agree on
Arms Conference President;
Some Would Pick American

ENEVA, Feb. 20 U.S0
Cleavage within the League OF
Nations is revealed in the fight
over the selection of a president
of the general disarmament con
ference set. for 1882.
After being assured that Wash.
ington had no objections to the
procedure, the league council Las
decided to hand-pick the presi
dent rather than allow the con
ference to make it's own ch 1lce.
France Backs Benes
France is plugging for DR.. Ed
uard Benes, Czechoslovakian for
eign minister, since France looks
upon the little entente, which in.
cludeS the Czechoslovakian state
as partner.
Germany, opposing Benes, in
sists upon neutral" prefer,
ring an American. Italy and
Ireland also are ready to &C :ept
ar American chairman.
Hugh Wilson, American mini
ster to Switzerland, has notified
Geneva, however, that Washing,
tor froWns upon the idea of an
American president or vice rr, 81
dent.
Viewpoints Differ
While their mental acrobatics
enable them to jump lightly over
the hurdle of American non-mem-
bership, another group which in
cludes council members takes a
different viewpoint.
The latter point out that the
disarmament conference is en-
tirely a League show; that dis
armament is, in fact, the Leagues
reason for being. Therefore, they
say, to go outside the League
for a president would be to con-
fess that the League neither
trusts its own members nor is
capable of running it's own af-
fairs.
Such an impression would
prove highly damaging if not al
most fatal to the Leagues pres
tige, they say. especially at a
time when so much diSsatisfac-
ton with the League is being
voiced in various member coun-
tries.

World Narcotic Conference
Is Urged to Make Penalty
For PeddIers More Severe

NEW YORK, Feb. 20 CU.SO,
Eloquent evidence of the extent
to which drugs promote crime
was given by Charles H. Tuttle,
former United States attorney,
at the annual meeting of vhe
World Conference on Narcotic
Education here.
Tuttle spoke after the confer.
ence had heard a message from
Governor Roosevelt, indorsing its
campaign and urging national
and international cooperation to
check drug addiction.
Reports on Survey
At the afternoon session, Tut
tie outlined the last findings OF
the narcotic survey committee
Of which he is a member. He
said:
"Of 832 cases of drug addic-
ton studied in hospitals, 73
of the patients had police
records. .
"Of 456 persons arrested by
the police narcotic squad only
IO7. less than One-fOurth were
first offenders. Of the other S49
persons, 100 were narcotic
sellers as well as users and
"a had previous convictions
for felOnieS."
Uniformity Urged
Charles S. Whitman, former
governor, stressed the need for
uniform narcotic laws and eff
cient treatment of addicts.
Twenty-one nations were rep
resented at the conference, in
cluding Great Britain, France,
Germany, Japan, China ana
Sweden. :,
The committee on law and
philosophy submitted a uniform
law for States. This proposed
legislation calls for light legal
penalty for addiction, with com:
pulsory institutional care and
probation after cure.
Frederick B. Cole, executive
secretary of the State Narcotic
Board Of Rhode Island, pleaded
that consideration be given the
noncriminal phase of addiction.
Capt. Richmond P. Hobson ex-
pressed the hope that drug SNUG,
Cling would be put in the criminal
category with piracy so that it
could stricken at sight in any land.
He said:
'Tt is not hard to forecast
our lines of attack. Public SEN
timent is a weapon and if we
have cooperation of the press
in developing sentiment, and
If our experts, are successful in
securing the massage of laws
with teeth in them, then the
opposition will be forced into
the open and cannot divide"

Funds Voted to Speed Up
Triangle Buildings
international Newsreel

the new Archives Building. This
clause in the bill probably will
call for speeding up" of the con-
demnation of all the business sec
ton on the south side of Penn
sylvania Avenue lying east of
Sixth Street Northwest.
RaZed Within Year
If the condemnation legislation
asked by the Department of JUS
tice is passed by Congress, it ap-
pears likely that this entire sec
tion will be razed and become
part of the Mall development
within the next year.
The program of building con-
struction provided in the second
deficiency bill leaves only three
important elements in the tri-
angle development to be author
lied at a later date-the pro-
posed razing of the old Post Of
flee Department Building, the
old Southern Railway Building
and of the District Building.

Where Harmony Is Needed.
lElliott Thurston in The New York World.

(Elliott Thurston in The New York World)
 The one place where harmony is still needed is among the Republicans. Mir. Lucas is out of harmony with Senator Norris. The Old Guard is out of tune with MT. Hoover. The progress sives are so unharmonious with everybody else in the party. Dr. Fess is off key if the Republican vets are on key. Everywhere discord Nowhere harmony.
 Why not try it? First, big White House harmony dinner for MT. Borah, Hiram Johnson, Guy Goff-everybody in the big, unhappy family. MT Hoover could dress up as Santa Claus Santa Claus is after all, the kind of man the Old Guard and the progressives could agree for President
 And if harmony is not applied in the Republi- can Party pretty Santa Claus is about the only candidate who could be elected on the Re- publican ticket in 1892

Fish that Spawn in Live Volcano.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)

The Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard Padre of the Craters' is at Fordham University preparing for his fifth journey of exploration among Alaska's glaciers and volcanoes Father Hubbard is a geo. logist at Santa Clara University, in California an institution which gave the world the late Father Ricard who told us about the relationship of spots and the weather than we ever had suspected
 In announcing his forthcoming expedition to Alaska Father Hubbard tells of Lake Surprise: It is the strangest body of water in the
 world. It is two and half miles long and
 is inside an active volcano. It is the spawn
 ing bed of salmon The salmon make their
 way up the Anakchak River then leap
 through a rift in the volcano's wall and
 enter the lake.
 Anyone who has seen salmon plunge and leap upward through cataracts knows something of the terrific urge which carries them upstream to their spawning grounds But the world will be inter- ested, both in salmon and Alaska, to learn that up there this urge leads fish to leap into active volcano.
 Of Alaskas greatest volcano Father Hubbard says:
 I amazed by the magnitude and the
 weird and terrible beauty of Katma, the
 largest active crater in the world.
 The first thought of this great geologist is science. But the results of his explorations given to the world they interest in Aaska'S stupendous natural wonders that is bound to lead to increased travel to the Northern Terri tory. Thus his studies have a practical value en- trely apart from their importance to the science or geology

have been started in some sections of England and Scotland with centers of the bootleggers to be found in London, Leeds, Manchester Cardiff Hull Birmingham Bristol, Glasgow and Edinburgh
 Government officers estimate that "moonshine' can be manufactured for low 10 cents per gallon and it sells for high S1250 per gallon The producers have adopted American methods in distribution shipping it widely in gasoline cans without marks by which outsider can dis tingush it from the real gas. The Government estimates that it is losing $3,500 on each 100 gal Ions of contraband liquor that is cold.
 The origin of bootlegging in the United States, as is the case now in England and Scotland, was in internal revenue taxes The produce of unlicensed stills was surreptitiousy sold in some sections, not ably in the mountainous districts of Kentucky and Tennessee, without payment of these excises It was generally distilled in out of the way regions, the final being made at night and distribution likewise taking place at night. From this trad- tional practice the term "moonshine."

SIGNIFICANCE OF RE-DISCOUNT
 RATE.

Establishment of the lowest rediscount rate in the history of the New York Reserve Bank unques tionably marks a definite landmark in this pro- longed period of deflation As representing a sig nificant money development it is pointed as the establishment of the per cent rediscount rate in the latter part of 1929
 The reserve system serves warning of its willing ness to extend its influence and policies to the limit to create money ease presumably to check the forces of deflation There will be natural impatence probably at the slow response which may result, but ultimately it may well represent turning point in the banking history of the times per cent rate the face of things should be as big resist ant to deflation as per cent to inflation
 Once the unsettlement and apprehension of the present period passes the banks will be under the necessity Of setting to work the vast body of funds now unemployed Many big city institutions are carrying 45 per cent to 30 per cent of their re- sources in cash and governments, obviously m ultra-conservative position. When the atmosphere clears the problem of earning dividends will be to the fore, money will flow into channels and the slow process of thawing out frozen credits all the way from bonds to mortgages will get under way

A Seward Memorial.
Steward Gateway


 Although have heard nothing of it since it introduced in Congress by Senator Copeland of New York, it would be idle to make bets that have not been eagerly scanning the daily wires from Washington looking for of that proposed memorial and museum at Seward in honor of the great statesman who consummated the purchase of Alaska from Russia.
 There could be no more fitting gesture as acknowledgement of what the nation owes her far seeing sons of the past, aesthetic appreciation of higher ideals for the future than a beautiful and impressive museum to house the priceless relics that became in that historic transfer.
 As for the City of Seward being selected as the site for that memorial would naturally and perhaps selfshy, maintain that such selection is right and proper However, due and impartial pondering Of the matter offers logical reason why this is not the proper spot Aside from bear ing the name of the illustrious Father of Alaska this city stands at the Gateway of the Territory, through which in generations to come will pass the ceaselesS ebb and flow of old and Alaskans or countless thousands of those who come to see what Alaska really means
 There can be no more beautiful scenic setting in all this Northern land majestic pile of stone and marble in majestic surroundings would most nttngly crystalize the ideal sought to be express cd Its dignity and grandeur would typify the regal splendor of mighty heritage.

AN INAUsPICIOUs BEGINNING.

The newly organized Federal Power Commission has not made any great impression upon the couI- try by it's first official proceedings. Immediately after the new board organized, Chairman George Otis Smith drafted it's first order which was to dismiss three of it's employees - Secretary TranK Bonner Solicitor Charles Russell and Accountant William King-from service Bonners dismissal was antedated by his voluntary resignation and was not unexpected since opposition to his retention was openly voiced by several Senators prior to the con- firrnation of the new Commissioners
 He and the other two involved in Chairman Smiths order had been in conflict over policies at various times in the past under the old Com mission. Russell and King unlike Bonner, "ound champions among the Progressive Senators who nsstently demanded that they be renstated. Sen ator Brookhart Senator Walsh of Montana, and others openly threatened retaliatory action unless the Commission receded and took the two men back. The possibility of reconsiderng the vote by which the Commissioners were recently confirmed was discussed and rejected suggestion that no appro- priaton for the Commission be passed by the Senate, thus forcing the dissolution Of the board for lack of funds, studied
 All of this Senatorial opposition apparently con- vneed the Commission it would be the part of wis dom to yield Thus it has invited its dismissed employees to apply for reinstatement Bonner has announced he will not do while Russell and King are undecided. The equalization of the Com mission in this instance does nothing except indicate a weakness which does not augur well for it's future success Under the law which created it, it was empowered to retain the old appoint new em- poyees as it should see fit If it is going to be dominated in all it's actions by camor from the Senate or any other organization set of indi- vduas, it will be incapable of rendering any use ful service to the public and fade into the rubber-stamp variety. It was not created to be a tool of the Senate any bloc of Senators, but to safeguard national interests in waterpoWer resources
 That it has a strenuous life ahead is indicated in the very opening If Senators will become so threatening the dismissal of two three clerks, how will they confne their wrath if the Commissions judgment question of policy happens to differ from their own? Firmness above all things is required, fearlessness and the willing ness to do battle for what the Commissioners be- neve to be right and proper Yielding in this instance does not indicate great deal of these qualities present.

BOOTLEGGING IN ENGLAND AND
 SCOTLAND.

Another American industry to have sprouted with enough yigor in England and Scotland to be causing government officials worry. We refer to bootlegging which in a decade has grown to gigantic proportions in country, nurtured by National Prohibition.
 High taxes on spirituous liquors in the home of the wee drap" instead of Prohibition have given birth to the bootegger there and the Customs and Excise Departments trying to throttle the trade before it gets too great for them to cope with as it has done in the United States. In some cases the tax amounts to two-thirds of the price of quart of whiskey Scores of illicit stills
