Buses and Railroads

The way in which the auto can cut into railroad
passenger traffic never was so ~strikingly illustrated
as in a petition which the Wheeling & Lake Erie rail-
road recently filed with Ohio authorities, asking per-
mission to discontinue all its intrastate passenger
service in Ohio.
Passenger service, said the petition, has dropped far
below the level at which trains can operate ~proftably.
In 1920, the Wheeling & Lake Erie carried 1909, 213
passengers in Ohio. In 1880 it carried only 70,563.
Most railroads, of course, have not suffered that
severely. But the illustration shows what can happen
in a thickly populated state where there is a network
of good public highways.

TN times of economic depression,
when constant driving seems to
yield little, if any, result, there de-
velops a condition called industrial
unrest, due undoubtedly to emo
tional reaction rather than to phys
ical changes in the human body.
When times are booming and re-
turns are satisfactory in almost any
occupation, people in general are
satisfied with what they are doing.
In times of economic stringency
there develops a mental irritability
which reflects itself not only in
mental but also in physical

his fiery orations in reply to the chan

shouted, "once, twice, thrice or a hun

that soon, for we have the longest

An audience jammed to the rafters
jumped up en- masse and cheered itself
hoarse. Some 10000 persons, a large
percentage Of them women, stamped
their feet in appreciation.

He reminded Congress that the ma

period. having held general legislative
elections and many state elections with
out disorder or generation Of serious
problems.
Naturally such a period Is one OF
agitation among the citizenry," he said,
"but no difficulty has resulted, which Is
eloquent proof of the democracy of this
nation, and the fact the Mexican people
have more confidence and faith in
suffrage and order than in violence" p
The foreign relations ministry has
transported 126,154 Mexicans out Of

BORAH BACKS GERMANY.
But Believes All Powers Should Reduce
Arms.

BOISE, Idaho, September (P.-In
the opinion of Senator Borah, chairman
of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Affairs, Germany is justified in her de-
mands for equality in ornaments, but
he believes it should be brought about
by other nations reducing ornaments.
Commenting on the unoficial demand
from Germany for increased military
strength. Senator Borah said:
THE terms of the Versailles treaty
justify Germany's demand for equality
But 1t is to be hoped that equality will
be secured by other countries reducing
their ornaments rather than by Ger
many building up to the other countries.
AT a time when the world Is near
ing an economic collapse it Is to be
hoped that equality will be realized by
lifting the burden rather than by in
creasing the burden which the people
OF the world are now carrying. The
leading countries are now extorting
from, If not robbing the pockets of the
people OF over 5000, 900 900 a year for
armaments. Equality by adding to that
burden would be crime"

TOXIC, September "A Rengo
(Japanese) News Agency dispatch re-
ported today that 3o6 Chinese bandits
had been killed in two-hour battle
with Japanese troops at ANITA. a sta
ton on the Chinese Eastern Railway
northwest of Harbin
This fight took place yesterday, the
dispatch said. Previously the bandits
had captured the station and a Japa-
nese expedition was sent from Tsitsi-
har to drive them out.
The japanese lost four killed and
five wounded, but reported that the
bandits had been dispersed to the
south.
5000 Guerrillas Repulsed.
A Rengo dispatch from Kirin today
said 5000 Chinese guerrillas had at
tackled the Tunhua terminus of the Kir-
in-Tunhua Railway, but had not been
successful in entering the town. Mixed
japanese -Manchukuo troops were said
to have inflicted more than 200 casual
ties among the guerrillas, who still were
besieging the town late today. Several
fires had been started.
The foreign Office announced today
that a basic treaty between the Man
churian state of Manchukuo and Japan
would be signed soon, to become ef-
fective before September is. The agree
rnent will provide defensive alliance
between the two nations.
Under the pact, Japan will be given

the internal and external defense of
Manchukuo under the treaty, which
also will guarantee mutual respect for

No Secret Clauses"
When the document is signed, prob
ably on the very day it is to become
effective, full diplomatic recognition of
Manchukuo will automatically come
about. The treaty will be communi-
Gated to the principal foreign powers
before 1t Is signed. The foreign Office
said there were no secret clauses"
The treaty probably will be submitted
to the Japanese privy council next week
and approved by the Emperor before
Gen. N. Muto proceeds to Changchun,
the Manchukuo capital, for the formal
ceremony of signing.
A government spokesman declared the
agreement will not make Manchukuo
protectcrate under Japan, since 1t leaves
the new nation independent In the mat
ters of foreign relations and finances.
It was also asserted the treaty will
accord Japan no rights beyond those
previously embodied in Sino-Japanese
treaties, except for the military clauses.
The treaty was described as extreme
" simple and brief, covering only one
and one-half typewriter pages.
The treaty between Japan and
Manchukuo win be signed almost exact
ly a year after japanese troops took
the field in Manchuria, after Japan
had charged the Chinese with violence
and violation of treaty rights along the

SWANSON FEARS
FRENCH REACTION
Believes "Concessions" to
German Demand Would
Hurt Arms Farley.

Fear that concessions to the German
demand for arms equality with other
nations may cause France to refrain
from signing some of the Geneva
disarmament proposals was expressed
here by Senator Swanson of Virginia,
an American delegate to the Geneva
armaments conference, following visit
to the White House yesterday.
Senator Swanson said he reported to
President Hoover he was mot optimistic,
but hopeful-more hopeful than when
I started-that something substantial
can be accomplished" by the Geneva
conference
The Virginian said the United States
delegates now were casting an interested
eye at the developments surrounding
Germany's renewed demand for removal
Of the arms restrictions placed upon
her by the Versailles treaty.
Fears Concessions.
Asked what effect this would have on
the reduction of ornaments movement
the Virginian replied:
The American delegation took no
stand at Geneva upon the German
proposal, believing It was a matter be-
tween European nations. It's effect will
depend upon, the reaction from Great
Britain and France. Possibly, conces-
sions to the German suggestion might
cause France to refrain from signing
some of the agreements we hope for"
At the State Department, the threat
by Gen. Kurt Won Schleicher. the
junker minister of defense, that Ger
many would quit the Arms Conference
unless her demands were granted. was
considered in the light of the effect it
might have on the Hoover plan for
one-third cut in land and sea arma-
ments.
AS the United States Is not signatory
to the Versailles treaty and as the
separate treaty signed by the United
States making peace with Germany
contained no restrictions on German
defenses, this country is not directly
concerned with the overtures Germany
has made to France.
Germany's attitude has great bearing
on the general question of world arma-
ments, however, concerning which the
United States Government has very de-
cided views.
1t was made clear at the State De-
partment yesterday that this Govern
ment stands firmly for reductions in
armaments and not for any increases
and will seek by all legitimate means
to influence radical reductions in de-
fense expenditures the world around as
means of bettering economic condi-
tons.
Detailing his report to the President
on what we accomplished and what
we hope for" Senator Swanson referred
to agreements abolishing large tanks
and bombing of civil populations, limit
ing the size of land artillery and abol-
ishing all chemical warfare, including
bacteria
Pointing out that the Bureau Com
mission has been directed to seek plan
whereby all aerial, naval and land forces
might be substantially reduced, he said:
Il am more hopeful that we can gain
something substantial from our de-
liberationS. Europe has a great way of
accepting you in principle. however, and
then negativing the agreement through
its details"

PARIS REVEALS ATTITUDE.
Feels German Demand Involves All
Signatories. ~
BY PAUL SCOTT MoWRER.

BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.
BY Cable to The Star
PARIS, September 2.-The French
government, after deliberation, feels
that the latest German arms equality
demand involves all the signatories of
the treaty of Versailles equally with
France.
Apparently on the advice Sir Herbert
Samuel, British home minister gave to
French Premier Edouard Herriot during
their conversations on the Channel
Island Of Guernsey a few days ago,
France seemingly does not entirely re-
fuse to engage in the talks which Ger
many requests between French and
German staff officers.
Apparently, France Is indicating to
Berlin, however, through diplomatic
channels, that it would prefer either to
refer the German demand to all the
signatories Of the recent European con-
fidence accord initiated by France and
Great Britain, so that 1t could then be
the subject Of consultation according
to the so-called new method, or to hold
the matter over for conversations at
Geneva when the Bureau of the Dis
armament Conference reconvenes Sep
tember "a.
The present impression here Is that
the United States, despite the fact that
the disarmament clauses of the treaty
Of Versailles are included in the sep
arate German-American peace treaty,
prefers to be left out of this contro-
versy.
