DISARMAMENT
WILL HINGE ON
JAPAN'S TRIAL
World Questions Bound Up
in League Hearing on
Manchurian War.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-At the
very moment President Hoover and
President Elect Roosevelt are hitch
ing up their chairs at the White
House next week to discuss war
debts, disarmament and economics
half way round the world from
them wheels will be in motion which
will largely make or break what
ever they decide.
Monday, at Geneva, Japan will
go ION trial. before the League OF
Nations for the virtual annexation
of Manchuria. In reality, However
it will not be Japan that is on trial
so much as the league-its cove
nant, the Kellogg pact, the nine
power treaty and the world peace
machinery in its entirety.
Disarmament depends upon out
come of this controversy. Unless
the peace machinery is strong
enough to protect China from ag-
gression, the nations will turn to
armies and navies for their security
rather than to paper pacts.
Sentiment in Washington ad-
mittedly is almost 100 per cent
against reduction or cancellation OF
war debts unless accompanied by
worldwide arms reduction and
other constructive international un-
derstandings.
Thus the leagues decisions on
Manchuria, disarmament, war debts
and the success of the coming world
economic conference are all seen as
tied together.
The league council meets in spe-
cial session Monday to take up the
report of the Lytton commission
sent to the Far East to investigate.
General Frank R. Mccoy was the
American representative.
The Lytton report, in effect
charges that Japan was the aggres-
sor; that while China was not en-
tirely blameless, Japan was not act
ing in Self-defenSe when she occu-
pied Manchuria. Manchuria, there
fore, should be returned to China.

visions of 1928 Budget.
Unless relief is provided by the
1883 legislature city school terms
definitely will be shortened two
months, school commissioners in
formed the state tax board Friday.
In a letter asking the state board
to suggest revisions of the 1928
budget based on the 92-cent levy, as
fixed by the county tax adjustment
board, school commissioners pointed
out that total of $1,727,000 has
been pared from the budget in COM
parison to the 1881 figure.
This reduction includes a volun-
tary cut of $870,o0O by school COM
missioners and a $957,000 slash by
the tax adjustment board.
Unless legislative relief is pro-
vided, the commissioners realize
this radically will shorten the school
term and will work hardship on
both pupils and teachers the state
board was informed in the letter.

SOVIET CHIEFS
WIFE MANAGES
REMOTE RANCH
First Lady Chooses. Life in
'BackWoodS' to That of
KremIin.

BIZ United Press
MOSCOW, Nov. 19.-How the
Ffrst lady" of the Soviet land
Ekaterina Kalinin, wife of Presi-
dent Michael Kalinin, lives and
works on the distant farm under her
management in the Altai region. is
recounted by her first American
visitor, Anna Louise Strong of Sc
attic.
Miss Strong visited the Altai vii
lage, Chemal, where Mrs. Kalinin
runs a rest home for the native
Oiratis, and state-owned farm and
cattle ranch.
No one in Chemal thinks of her
as Madame President" Miss Strong
declares.
Looks Like Village Beauty
They seldom even call her Ka-
hnlna. Employees of the state farm
and guests of the rest home alike
follow the familiar Russian habit
Of calling her Ekaterina Ivanovna.
To her three-room cottage, which
combines office, bedroom and guest
room, come constant committee
meetings.
Sitting in these conferences or
at her desk in the farm Office, she
looks the efficient administrator
But there are times when stroll
ing along the edge of the foaming
Katoon river, or emerging from
,the Russian bath where she has
been "steaming" with the other
women employees, she looks, with
kerchief knotted above rosy face,
like the village beauty of former
years"
Mrs. Kalinin began her rest
home and farm enterprise about
q year and half ago. She had
been in Soviet Oiratia, however,
Tor some years before that.
Farm Far From Railway
She dislikes the cities and the
official routine to which her stand
ing as wife of the President would
tie her in the Kremlin.
The enterprises under her con-
trol-ranging from a weIl-kept rest
home\ to chicken farms and bee
hives and carpentry shops = cover
some 20 kilometers of hill and dale.
This year, Miss Strong says, Mrs.
Kalinin had to her credit 1000
acres of grain, $500 acres of hay,
a farm with 300 COWS, $500 sheep,
125 hogs, $50 horses, 1000 chickens
and 100 bee hives A thirty-acre
truck garden keeps the rest home
we'll supplied with fresh vegetables.
The farm is 100 kilometers from
the nearest railroad station and can
be reached only after negotiating
a difficult muddy road.
