During the year there were
many indications that Italy was
drawing into close cooperation with
Germany and Russia.
After being ratified by all the ma
tions concerned, the Young plan for
reparations was put into effect on
May 8. Gates w. McGarrah Of
New York already had been elected
president Of the bank for interna-
tional settlements created by the
plan. On May 10 the last of the
French troops in the Rhineland be-

in April by Hungary, Austria and
the states in the little entente.
Frank B. Kellogg, former secre-

The mandate commission Of the
League of Nations made in August
it's long awaited report on the Pal
estine conflicts between Jews and
Arabs, placing the blame on Great
Britain. In the fall the British
government announced a new pol

would stop for the present any fur

protested vigorously and President

Russia's Great Conspiracy Story.
Early in November the govern

had uncovered a gigantic plot
against the Soviet regime in which
number of "capitalistic" states
were said to be involved. Among
many individuals who were al
legged to have part in the conspir-
acy were Former Premier Poincare
and Foreign Minister BRAND Of
France and Sir Henri Deterding,
British oil magnate. Eight Russian
engineers were put on trial, con-
fessed and were sentenced to terms
in prison. Paris and London looked
on the whole thing as ''frame-up."
Late in January Mexico severed
diplomatic relations with Russia be-
cause of alleged Communist insults.

Wky Puckett Is Our Choice

In Tuesdays paper we mentioned W. n Puckett
as being our choice the outstanding civic worker
in Nogaes this year.
Here's the reasons he was our choice.
He is one Of Nogales' most pubic-spirited cltl-
zens
He is always an optinist
But our main reason for placing him at the top
of our 1890 honor roll is that in OUR opinion ne is do
ing more than anyone else in this community IN try
ing to get erection Of homes started here and every
body knows that Nogales' greatest need is that OF
more houses.
We may all boost, boost boost, hold get-togethe1r 1
meetings and shout about Nogales going to be much
larger CITY some day but that day will be far away
and Nogales will not grow in population, unless some
apartments and homes erected here where we may
put new people when they come to Nogales to spend
the winter summer, or to remain permanently
W. N Puckett is one of few citizens who seem
to know the real need Of more houses in Nogales lie
is doing what he can toward inducing persons to
build and also toward getting home building COM

" ernment struggled manfully
throughout the year to solve the
nations economic problems, but
found that this could not be done
in a short time. Unemployment
continued to increase, passing the
two million mark in June, and in
dustrial depression was little light
ened if at all. However, no one
seemed to have a better solution to
offer than Prime Minister MacDon-
aid and his ministers, so they held
on to their power. They had the
aid of a national advisory council.
Chancellor Snowden devised a sat-
isfactory budget that was by no
means socialistic, and parliament
passed some Of the legislation
asked by the government.
Two matters of vast import de-
manded much attention from the
British empires rulers. One was
the effort to develop the empire as
an economic unit, and the imperial
conference which was held in Lon
don undertook this task. The va
rious dominions were represented
by some Of their best minds and
the discussions continued until we'll
into November. But the results
were extremely disappointing. The
main issue was economic cO-Opera
ton, and in this nothing was accom-
plished because the dOminiOns and
the British government could not
agree concerning free trade, protec-
tion and preferential rates within
the empire.
Problem of India.
The increasing independence of
the domini0ns was marked by the
tacit understanding that hence
forth they shall have the right to
accredit their own diplomats to for

THREE months of intensive de-
L bate, diplomatic negotiations,
study Of experts figures and mu-
tual concessions brought forth the
London naval treaty, which was
signed on April %, by the delegates
of the United States, Great Britain,
Japan, France and Italy. By this
pact the first three powers agreed
to the extension of the Washington
treaty 80 that the reduction and
limitation of their navies should ap-
DIV to cruisers and lesser vessels.
France and Italy failed utterly to
reach an accord as to what their
relative naval strength should be.
Consequently they subscribed to
only those parts of the London
treaty that provided for a battle
ship building "holiday" and pre-
scribed various rules designed to
humanize submarine warfare.
France and Italy held intermit-
tent conversations during the rest
of the year, but could not settle
their differences. The one insur-
mountable obstacle was Italy's de-
nland that her right to naval parity
with France be admitted, and
France fatty refused to yield this
point.
League Receives Brands Scheme.
In September the assembly Of the
League Of Nations listened politely
while NJ. BRAND, French foreign
minister, expounded his pet scheme
for a federation of European states.
Other statesmen cautiously praised
the plan and it was accepted in
principle by the assembly and re-
ferred to a special committee which
will report to the 1881 meeting.
Twenty-eight Of the nations rep

tober 2 a treaty guaranteeing finan-

sion.
Late in August nine of the small
er nations of central Europe held
a conference in Warsaw and agreed
on a concerted program Of action
mainly in the furtherance of their
agraran interests. The pact was

OROSPERITY, which was "just
around the corner" at the begin
ming Of 1880, gave the world no
more than an occasional glimpse
Of her face during the year. Busi-
ness depression, increasing unem-
ployment, continuing low prices for
agricultural products and declining
markets for securities prevailed
generally.
Skilled observers professed to see
war clouds again gathering over the
Ealkans, but notable steps were
taken in the direction of world
PEACE and disarmament. The United
States, Great Britain and Japan
signed the London naval limitation
treaty, and toward the close of the
year there we're indications that
France and Italy, settling their
parity dispute, would make it a
fve-power pact. Some progress
was achieved by the preparatory
disarmament commission of the
League of Nations. The revision
Of German reparations, known as
the Young plan, was adopted by ali
nations concerned and put into ef-
feet, although Germany was not
hopeful of its ultimate success. The
evacuation of the Rhineland by the
allied forces was completed.
China's long, bloody and con-
fused civil war ended in victory for
the Nationalist government. PCpu-
lar and military revolutions upset
the governments Of five Latin
American republics.
Though governmental and other
agencies in the United States Strove
throughout the year to relieve the
unfortunate economic conditions.
results of these efforts were slow
in appearing. Consequently the
voters went to the polls in Novem-
Der and expressed their dissatis-
faction in the customary manner.
There was a Democratic landslide
that covered most of the country
and the Republican party virtually
lost it's control of both houses of
congress in March, 1881. However,
the national leaders of the victori
Gus Democrats pledged their party
to cooperation with the Republican
administration in all measures de
signed to bring prosperity around
the corner, and business was re-
assured by the promise that there
would be no attempt for some time
to revise the tariff act passed in
June.
Industrial and financial distress
in the United States was greatly
increased by drought that prevailed
all summer in the Mississippi and
Ohio river states and extended as
far east as the Virginias. National
and state governments afforded
speedy relief to the sufferers. AS
winter neared numerous Organiza-
tions throughout the country went
into action to alleviate the unem-
ployment situation, their aim be-
ing to supply those out Of work
with Jobs rather than charity dOles.
Public building and highway prof.
ects were started and speeded up,
and the great Industrial and trans
portation concerns sought means to
increase the number of their em-
plOyeeS.
All in all, 1890 was not a happy
year for the world.
