TREATIES DEAD;
u. S, is PERILED
IN PHILIPPINES
America, Double Crossed in
Naval Farley, Faced
by Crisis.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
scrinps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-Today
in the Philippines the United
States faces the necessity Of doing
one Of three things:
l. Hang on to a new defenseless
outpost more than 5000 miles from
the Pacific coast.
2. Demand that the treaties Of
Washington be rewritten to permit
adequate fortifcation of bob Guam
and the Philippines.
3. Grant the islands immediate
independence, with the briefest time
possible fairly to adjust trade and
other economic relations with this
country.
A major reason for this neces-
sity lies in virtual scrapping Of the
nine power treaty to keep the peace
of the Pacific and the Far East
That treaty, now smashed, not only
is one of the principal pillars Of our
policy in the western Pacific, but
of our whole system Of national de-
tense.

MILLS, COUzENS
TO LOSE HIGH
CAPITAL POSTS
Two Multi MiIIionaireS' Lot
to Be Hard After
March d.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON Dec. 27.-The lot
Of two multi-millionaires at the
capital will be hard after March A.
or SO they feel.
Senator James Couzens (Mich)
will be relieved Of Craftsmanship Of
the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee, and forced into condition
of comparative inactivity.
Ogden L. Mills, treasury secretary,
will leave public life for the first
time in many years, except for a few
months in 1927, and must find a new
field for his tremendous store Of
energy.
I've got to be doing something, "
says Senator Couzens as the thinks
of the time when he won't be the
senate's virtual dictator Of radio and
railroad legislation.
Wants to pull Oar"
II want to pull my oar in the
boat" says Mills-just as he made
the same answer when society
friends asked, many years ago, why
a man with his millions should ring
door bells and drag out voters as a
political apprentice in New York
City's Fifteenth district. Now, as
friends inquire what he plans to do,
he replies:
ooh! Something has always
turned up. 1t will this time"
Couzens says he will not be con-
tent with ia the work that falls to
the lot of a minority member of his
committee. His great ambition now
is to be a delegate to the world
economic parley to be held at Lon
don next spring. He wants to be a
part in whatever economic venture
the nations plan with respect to
debts, disarmament, tariffs and
other world problems.
Mills May Be Publisher
Mills friends-and some closer to
him than friends-have sggested
that he puchase a newspaper, and
it is understood that they have a
certain historic journal in mind
knowing him well, they figure it
will occupy and interest him as
much as politics and government
have for the last score of years. But
he has not yet indicated whether
he wants to become a politician
publisher.
Despite President Hoover's ter
rife defeat, it generally is &C
knuowledged that the treasury sec
rotary won about all the honors
here were on the Republican side
Nevertheless, he may find it diff
f1cult to make good predictions that

U. s. in PeriIous Position

Not only have Britain and France
refused to back up the United
States in an effort to induce Japan
to live up to her signature, but
they have prevented the League of
Nations from functioning effective
ly in the matter.
Above all, by their attitude and
by their propaganda, they have led
Japan to regard the United States
as the villain in the piece and that
they, really, are on her side.
This places the United States in
a dangerous position. Deserted by
John Bull and other co-signers Of
the Pacific peace treaties, Uncle
Sam is left holding the bag 5000
miles away across the briny Pacific,
guarding the now understandable
Philippines, the stepping stone be-
tween Japan and Australasia.
And, ironically enough, the prin-
cipal beneficiary of the American
flag remaining in the Philippines is
...Great Britain.

Peace Sought by U. S.

Shortly after the World war two
new threats to international peace
lifted their heads above the horizon.
one was the danger Of a conflict
growing out of the Far Eastern sit
uation The other was the COM
mencement of a world ornaments
race of startling proportions.
At that time, the United States
had. built and building, the greatest
war fleet ever conceived. And it had
the viii and the money if necessary,
to make it twice as big.
Peace however, rather than war,
was Americas aim. Her navel plans
were but the reflection of the world
situation. Accordingly on her in
itiatiVe. a double barreled confer
ence was called to meet at Washing
ton to discuss two things, namely,
naval reduction and limitation, and
peace in the Orient
At this conference, the United
States laid its cards face up on the
table If the other great powers
would join with it in an agreement
to abolish the danger Of war in the
Orient, it stood ready to scrap war
ships to the limit. But first the war
clouds would have to be swept away
from the Pacific horizon.

l. With many fine exceptions,
no. Many men think they are
"honest" in lying to their wives
that they have no money and
taking their last cent to pay a
poker debt.
Their Conscience" views one
as debt of honor" and the
other-well, it is just too bad.
Mans sex morals are about as
consistent as a kaleidoscope.
2. No. It is a form Of fear
the fear that he is not appre-
ciated for his true worth. He
feels actually inferior, but puts
on this outward bluff to con-
ceal it. People who have this
feeling of inferiority whether
they show it by egotism or by
honest lack of self-conf1dence
never have learned how to
compare themselves with other
people.

Two Pacts Signed

Two major treaties, having to do
with peace in that quarter, grew out
of that conference. One was the
nine-power treaty-signed by Brit
ain, France, Italy, Japan Belgium
Holland, Portugal, and the United
States--safeguarding the territorial
and administrative integrity of
China.
The other was the four power
pact of the Pacific-signed by Bri-
tain, France, Japan and the United
States-protecting the insular pos
sessions of these powers.
on the strength of these solemn
guarantees, the United States not
only agreed to scrap hundreds Of
thousands Of tons of the finest
fighting ships ever laid down by
any country, but to forego further
fortilfying the Philippines, Guam,
or other possessions west of Hawaii.
Relying completely on the word
of honor of the other nations, Amer
lea left the Philippines wide open
to attack, at the mercy Of Japan
or any other strong sea power in
that part of the world-a magnifi-
cent gauge of her own honorable
intentions.
In the last year and a half these
treaties, in world opinion, have been
torn to shreds Despite the nine
power agreement, Japan has taken
Manchuria away from China and
defied all concerned to do anything
about it.

BACK PLAN TO
CENTRALIzE AID
Federation Advocates Poor
Relief Headquarters.

Approval was given a plan for
establishing a central office for city
poor relief work at a meeting of the
indianapolis Federation of Com
munity Civic Clubs in the Sphinx
Arms Friday night. A committee
to direct establishment of central
headquarters will be appointed soon
by E. o. Snethen, federation presi-
dent.
The plan was suggested by r. E.
Mitchell, who asserted that the ar
rangement would prevent relief
work duplication and simplify oper-
alton of charitable organizations.
Criticism was directed at the &C
tivity of Miss Hannah Noone, town
ship trustee, in the distribution of
poor relief baskets. j. Ed Burke,
south side civic leader, charged that
the baskets cost taxpayers from So
to So, but represent a value less
than $3.50. Poor relief work under
direction of the trustee is compli-
Gated by politics, Burke charged.
A letter from Mrs. Florence Stone
regarding the Flower Mission hos
pital for tuberculosis patients, in
which the necessity for the institu-
ton was cited, was referred to a
committee. The federation has APP
proved the plan of the mission con-
Structing the hospital and the city
maintaining it.

CLAIM AUTOPSY
BEFORE DEATH
Officials Sued for $4,000
by Husband.

By United Press
MILWAUKEE,, Nov. 5.-La Sale
Falk sued authorities today for
$4,000 on charges that they started
to perform an autopsy on his wife
while she still was alive.
He accused Coroner Henry
Grundman, two of his assistants,
and four police with taking Mrs.
Falk to the morgue, pronouncing
her dead and beginning an explora-
tory operation before she died.
Four hours later DR.. Edward Milo
slavich, famous pathologist, an
nounced that a spark of life re-
NAMED in the body. A fire depart
ment rescue squad worked an hour
and a half in vain before Mrs. Falk
was pronounced dead a second time.
The case attracted international
attention last February. Coroner
Grundman later announced his be-
lief that his first death diagnosis
was correct.
Mrs. Falk slipped on piece of
ice while taking a short cut through
a vacant lot near her home. Police,
who believed her dead, took the
body Immediately to the rnorgue
where Coroner Grundman con-
f1rmed their belief and began the
autopsy.
