BALM To SOVIET
TTAWA HOPE

OTTAWA, Aug. 16 Q.N.SO.-
With Saturday the deadline, dele
gates to the imperial economic
conference are striving to reach
a definite stand on the control
of Soviet dumping of lumber and
wheat into British markets to the
detriment of Canadians.
At yesterdays session it seemed
as though the British were re-
luctant to take steps here which
might be interpreted in Russia as
singing out that country for ad-
verse treatment.
1t is believed that once the
delegates decide this definite
stand upon Russian dumping, the
conference will move to a speedy
close before Saturday, when
Premier Baldwin and Walter
Runciman, president of the Brit
ish Board of Trade, must leave.
Mr. Runciman intimated yeSter-
day he wants to be convinced
that the number of workers in
his country who would be put
out of work by cessation of
British exports to Russia would
be met by the number who
would find work as the result of
the new trade Canada can offer.

EugeniCaI Improvement Found
Obtained at Expense
of "WeakIingS"

NEW YORK, Aug. 16
(LN.S. 1.-Two English women
scientists who have spent the
past nine years studying the in
fluence of alcohol on heredity
have concluded that parents
who are heavy drinkers uncon-
sciously are improving their
family stock, as children of
alcoholic parents tend to be-
come stronger physically and
mentally from generation to
generation.
Their first report. just COM
pleted, is reviewed in the cur
rent issue of the Lancet, chief
British medical journal.
Many Experiments Cited
They assert that instead of
causing racial deterioration"
alcohol definitely seems to i'm
prove a family stock, this becom-
ing especially noticeable after
four generations of alcoholism.
The scientists, Miss F. M. Dur.
ham and Miss H. M. Woods, con-
Quoted the experiments under
the auspices of the British Medi-
cal Research Council.
Their conclusion was reached
after making hundreds of expert
ments on animals and checking
the effects of alcoholism in
human families.
At Expense of Weaklings
They found the eugenical i'm.
provement of families is obtained
at the expense of the "weaklings"
in animal or human stock. They
assert that in alcoholic families,
only the strongest and most intel
ligent offspring survive the proc.
esses of birth.
These traits are then passed on
to the next generation, which, if
it remains alcoholic, produces still
stronger and more intelligent chill
dren.
The women experimenters
found no evidence to support pop
ular belief that the fertility of in.
dividuals is effected by alcohol.
They also assert that there is no
evidence that exposure to alcohol
causes the production of abnormal
young"

than week of waiting for
favorable weather to take off on
their balloon ascension to the
stratosphere, Prof. Auguste Pic

Cosyns, today began to show
signs of cracking under the
nervous strain.
Realizing the urgent necessity
of 36 hours of uninterrupted
favorable weather, Professor Pic
card has postponed the take-off
from day to day.
The nervous tension of waiting
to start on the hazardous venture
has told particularly on Cosyns
He is reported to have suffered
a complete loss of appetite, and
the scientific cool-headedness
with which he started prepara-
tions for the trip has given way
to extreme nervousness.
Prof. Picard also has had
difficulty in keeping his patience,
but remains steadfastly opposed
to making the ascent until he
knows that conditions are favor
able.

CONGRESS WON'T
TAX THE RICH
Plan to Fasten New
Tax Burden on Poor

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The
democrats who have been majority
in Congress for two years are stag
ing fake struggle over the tax ques-
ton as a preliminary to the opening
of the "lame duck" session in few
weeks.
Representative Collier of Missis-
sippi, chairman of the ways and
means committee, which 1egislates
for money for operating the govern
ment says 7oo,00O,0Oo dollars will be
necessary to balance the budget.
O'Connor of New York, one of the
Roosevelt gang who said beer would
bring sufficient revenue now admits
that it would in no way solve the
question.
Pave Way for Roosevelt.
All measures to tax the rich are
scorned by the democrats and re-
publicans They all scheme to tax
the poor. In this connection the
masses face the danger of having a
sales tax fastened on them, which
for the workers means a cut in real
wages. Their talk about necessity
for balancing the budget is only for
the purpose of paying the way for
the Roosevelt administration to con-
tinue the Wall Street hunger policy
as carried thus far by Hoover. Roose-
welt, in his speeches clearly stated
that he would consider the question
of relief only after the budget was
balanced.
