Stanley Baldwin, on the one part, and
the Lords Rothermere and Beaver
brook, on the other, the which noble
lords would fain Gust Mr.. Baldwin from
the. leadership of the Conservative
party. So far the honors seem to have
gone to Mr.. Baldwin. He Is unwont-
edly aroused, and some of his express
sions suggest a recent study OF the
classic pamphleteers.
In by-election a few days ago the
candidate Endorsed by Mr. Baldwin
won an emphatic victory over the
protege of their lordships, the issue
really being whether Mr.. Baldwin or
their Iordships should lead the party.
Intra-party struggles are, Of course,
the most vicious of all, and this cam
paign was one of the bitterest within
memory.

SPAIN.-The colirt-martial trial Of 81
persons charged with participation in
the recent Spanish uprisings ended on
March II. Six were acquitted, one was
sentenced to death and IL to life I'M
prisonment, and the rest received SEN
fences ranging from 6 months to 20
years. Demonstrations, especially of
students, in Madrid and SaragoSSa
against the death sentence alarmed the
cabinet, which got into telephone COM
munication with the King, in London
on a visit. The King ordered commu-
tation to life imprisonment.
The return 70 Madrid of Senior San
tiago Alba from his seven-year exile in
Paris is causing vast deal Of specula-
ton. Rumor is busting. He seems to
be sympathetic with the Constitutional
lists, now in the doleful dumps because
Of the rebuff to their former leader,
Sanchez Guerra, who, old and crushed
in spirit, has retired from the arena.
It will be recalled that Primo de Rivera
proposed to try Senior Alba as "a COM
mon criminal who pilfered public funds,
but that he got across the border-just
by inches.
An extremely interesting trial is now
under way-namely, of the most impor-
tant signers of the revolutionary proc
lamation of last December, including
Senior Zamora, who was proclaimed
provisional President of Spain" It is
thought that the sentences will be COM

7 Asst Summer I went TO
a white church in a
II New England town. The
preacher for the day
was a famous man from a big
city, who happened to have a
Summer home nearby.
The church was only about
one-tenth filled. Even this
famous name was not enough
to pull people away from the
cool woods and beaches.
When the preacher arose to
announce his teSt,.I thought:
Nov we'll catch it. We shall
be told that these empty pews
mean that the world is going
to the dogs. We shall hear a
half-hour of lament about hu-
man wickedneSS. We few, who
have come to church, shall be
crucified for the sins of those
who have stayed away"
I have listened to many
church sermons and / am sick
of them.
But was due for a pleasant
surprise. He announced a text
from Paul's letter to the
Corinthians. He explained
that in this passage Paul was
really making a plea for a
generous collection from the
Corinthians for the struggling
churches elsewhere. He had
an Interior motive, but that
does not change the fact That
the whole chapter is full of
praise for the Corinthians.

Hawaii University Adds
Group to Fight Pest

HONOLULU. Hawaii.-A prolonged
battle against an insect pest In Hawaii
is being launched by the Federal
Bureau Of Entomology, following in
vestigations by entomologists here. The
campaign will be waged in conjunction
with the University of Hawaii.
DR.. A. Q. Baker, principal entomol-
ogist in charge of tropical, subtropical
plant and insect investigation of the
United States bureau, has just COM
pleted an investigation here which leads
him to believe the Mediterranean fruit
fly can be subdued, il not eradicated.
Accordingly, it has been decided to
erect building on the university CAM
pus and make this the headquarters
and laboratory for q determined cam
paign of science against natural enc
mics. Local and mainland workers for
the bureau are being built into come
petent staff. On their success depends
Hawaii's ability in the future to ship
to the United States a number Of IS
land fruits that would greatly add to
the industries Of this territory.

Having told them how kind
they are, how courageous, how
faithful, Paul concludes by
saying, in effect: "Since you
have all these many good
qualities, I ask you to have
also this grace which was in
Christ Jesus, who being rich
became poor for our SakeS.'"
In other words, you are
great folks; come on, now, and
be generous also.
The preacher then proceed
ed to tell us what a grand
thing it is to belong to the
human race-how good people
are, how courteous to each
other, how brave under their
SufferingS, how hopeful in the
face of an inscrutable Fate.
He said that God created
men and women because He
wanted companions, and that
He was pleased with His Gre
alton.
He made us all proud of our
humanity, and sent us out
more cheerful and better able
to fight the week.
I wondered why there are
not more such sermons.
Jesus did very little de-
nouncing and hardly any
viewing with alarm" He
came with a joyous message.

happiness"

Canada Uses u. S. Ships

fessor. He did not think there was any
danger of war with the United States.
He believed, however, that some Of
the strategists in British military circles
were of the opinion that should war ever
break out between United States and
Britain it might be wise for Canada to
declare her neutrality The United
States Navy could easily blockade Ca

sending an army across the boundary
into Central Canada could divide the

civilian planes to military purposes and
because Of the quickness with which
planes may be constructed following
the outbreak Of war.
on the other hand, the danger Of
stack from the airplane is more hor-
rible to contemplate than Of attack
from the sea or land. Such is the d.
lemma presented by the attempt to
limit aircraft.
The fundamental solution for this
dilemma Is to establish machinery that
will prevent the outbreak Of war and
remove the causes Of disputes which
have forced nations into war. The
rudiments of such machinery already
exist In the League of Nations and the
World Court. The only safe means OF
protecting civilian populations against
air attack lies in strengthening this
machinery, so that war will not break
out. Once a substitute for war Is found,
once nations ind security in tnterna-
tional organization, they viii reduce
their ornaments voluntarily and they
win cease to think Of danger from the
air.

Fur Crop of Canada
Depends Upon Women

If the fur-goods industry In Canada
depended on mere men it would be In
significant. And as the ladies are very
much interested in furs, the industry Is
in the major class. An oficial report
shows that the total production Of fur
goods in Canada IN 1929 had a value Of
$18,944,726, Of which fur coats FOR
women accounted for $12,255, S55, while
coats for men were valued at oTIy $780,

women's fur coats was $3.50, compared
with SIT for mems coats. Fur S&OleK,

long ago Mr.. Macdonald announced
that the government would resign only
in consequence of defeat on a major

he did not consider major issue. The
Conservative position was fairly summed
up in Lord Hugh Cecil'S statement that
the government would sacrifice the

Trevelyan, minister of education, and
of Lord Arnold, paymaster general (the
latter on account Of i'll health).
Mr.. Hartshorn rose from an obscure
beginning in a mining community. He
had some reputation as a parliament

occasion to Stanley Baldwin and Lloyd
George. He was an active leader in
the coal industry, served on the Simon

death by zeal in dealing with unem-

From the theoretical standpoint, the
limitation Of civilian as we'll as military
aircraft might be effective except for
one important fact. Although It takes
many months to drill an efficient army
or to build ,battleshipS or cruisers, mill
tary aircraft may be built almost over
night. Thus, at the end of the World
War, the monthly outputs of the United
States and Germany equaled 1000
planes, or a number larger than the
present military air strength Of the
United States. The air strength of the
powers in war time will not be deter
mined, therefore, so much by limitation
agreements as by the capacity of out

publican National Committee in its
work in the farm belt.

Senator Dickinson believes the COM
lnittee's work will do much to Onset
claims that the Republican partyS
farm relief efforts have failed. He SAID
in a statement:

this movement that it will be source

To carry out the program, Senator
Dickinson. who was a farm leader in the
House until his election to the Senate
last November, expects to obtain proper
political contact in various localities
outside the regular political channels
and interest these parties" in the spread
Of "proper information" concerning the
legislative policies of the administration.
The council also will work through
