MEGER PARTY ID
 EXPLOIT NEW FIELD

Confident that the placer
 possibilities of the Bell-Irving River district will repay ex-
 perienced mining efforts and yield at least wages for men who understand that charac- ter of mining, Paul Meger and several associates will spend the coming winter in that reg ion.
 MT. Meger, accompanied by Peter Morrison and others, spent close to two months in the Bell-Irving district last spring and their decision to re- turn for the winter is the re- suit of their findings during that period. They returned during the latter days of last month and have since been en- gagged in preparing for the present expedition and in as- sembling their outfit, which in- cludes several tons of provis- ions and other supplies.
 The winter party will in- clude, in addition to Messrs. Meger and Morrison, Charles Beale, of Stewart, and David Gun-a-noot,- a Hazelton Indian who is thoroughly acquainted with the Bowser Lake and Bell Irving district. The party will establish their camp on the west side of the Bell-Irving about four miles above the lit tie canyon. During their ear Her visit, Messrs Meger and Morrison cut a horse pack trail from Bowser Lake to the point where their camp will be located, thereby greatly facili- tating the transportation of their supplies. Leaving this week, the party expects to be about two weeks in reaching their destination.
 MT. Meger, who is widely ex- perienced in placer mining in Alaska and teh Yukon, was not inclined to state definitely his last spring, but indi- cated that the Bell-Irving reg ion is one that presents few possibilities for those who are not fully experienced in placer Both mining and trav- cling conditions are difficult. and supplies are costly by the time they are landed. MT. Meg CT estimated that their provis- ions would be worth close to a dollar a pound at their camp.

IN SHANGHAI

Evacuation of American resi-,
dents Of Shanghai has been con.
Sidered by officials here as one
OF the possible eventualities, but
the step will not be seriously con.
templated until the American Con-
sui General advises that condi-
t1ons warrant it.
1t was with the possibility of
evacuation in mind that the ma
jor part of the Asiatic Fleet was
rushed to Shanghai to stand
by"
The American Government
would be loath to order the evac-
uation, as it would mean leaving
millions of dollars worth of
American property at the mercy
OF Chinese and Japanese forces.
"A resolution presented by
Representative Fish (R.) of New
York, to the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs providing for
prohibition of arms shipments to
nations at war was tabled at the
request of Secretary of State
StimSon.
Administration officials ex-
planned the Fish resolution might
have an undesirable effect upon
negotiations for peace in the
Sino-Japanese conflict.

HAITI LOANS,
IS CHARGE
State Department "Pressure"
Alleged by Lawyer as
Senate Witness

The American State Depart
ment, by suggestion and con-
slant pressure, forced a $16,
100000 loan upon the Haitian
people," George Leger, Island
lawyer, charged today before
the Senate Finance Committee.
There was no demand on the
part of the peoRle of Haiti for
the loan, Leger asserted. He said
"It was used and is still be-
ing used for political purposes"
The National City Bank, of
New York, floated the loan
American Marines under Maj
Gen. Smedley D. Butler, forcibly
dissolved the Haitian congress in
1917, Leger said.
Just prior to this action, the
witness testified, the Haitian
congress had rejected a plea by
the American Legation to lift a
constitutional ban against land
ownership by foreigners.
American bankers have imposed
an economic yoke upon Haiti,
Leger charged.
Leger was the contact man"
for the Forbes commission when
it investigated conditions in
Haiti under the resolution offered
by Senator King CD Of Utah.
Leger declared:
cat the instance Of the
American financial adviser,
about two millions in surplus
Treasury funds were used to
buy part Of the Haitian bond
issue as an investment. The
price paid was 99H.
ut is my understanding that
the National City Bank then
held a considerable amount Of
these bonds.
"The Haitian government
now needs this surplus and the
bonds are selling at 65."
Addison T. Ruan, the first
American financial adviser to
Haiti under the treaty of 1915,
recommended in 1917 that a $780,
100000 American loan be floated,
Leger explained. adding:
"Ruan, a former clerk in the
Navy Department, threatened
to, withhold current budget
funds IL this loan were not ap.
proved at once by the Haitian
government"
A letter from Ruan recommend
ing the loan and declaring that
as a requisite Haiti must ask
the United States to extend the
1915 treaty 10 years" was read by
Leger.
The Haitian government Sc
cretly assented to Ruan's de-
mand, Leger added.

GENEVA, Feb. 10. (INS.)
With a significant veiled ref,
erence to Soviet, Russia, the
spokesman of Japan laid his
country's views on disarma'
ment before the World Dis
armament Conference here to-
day.
Tsuneo Matsudaira. japanese
ambassador to Great Britain and
chief of Japan's delegation to
the arms parley. declared that
Notwithstanding the unfortunate
situation far out in Eastern Asia, "
Japan was las eager as ever" to
further the cause of disarmament.
He added:
particular attention, how.
ever, should be directed to the
armed strength and political
status Of neighb0ring countries
which have a dominant in
fluence upon the safety Of
Others"

Matsudaira followe Dino

Solini's youthful foreign minister
laid before the conference a

going farther in his demand for
abolition of land, sea and air
instruments of destruction than
any other spokesman heard thus
far, Seconding the proposals
made by Great Britain and the
United States and augmenting
them with some of his own.
Obviously realizing his position
was unique in pleading for dis.
armament while his country's
army and navy are at grips with
Chinese troops in Shanghai. Mat
sudaira chose his words with ut
most care. He said
"The japanese delegation fav-

an hour and 38 minutes today, a

Though the Chapel district of

was no fighting when we passed
over that section this forenoon
and not a single Japanese plane

the arsenal there feverishly en-
trenching behind mounds of
earth along the river banks near
the runways Of the China Ma

extend from the hangers into
the water.
This was the result of an in

mechanics and pilots witnessed
while at work.
A Japanese captain, Taxa

to a Japanese river boat that had
been tied up opposite the Ameri-

opened fire on the launch.

They could refuse to renew the con-

Salaries Limited.
But there will always be high-salaried
stars as long as the stars are worth
those salaries at the box Office. Public
popularity sets Hollywood wage scales,
and exceptional stars will continue to
draw exceptional salaries. But those
salaries, as a general rule, are being
limited, and probably will be in the
future. to the few.
It is in the next generation Of stars
that Hollywood hopes to instill less ex-
aggerated ideas of salary. New re-
cruits, unknown now but considered
stellar possibilities, are being signed on
seven-year contracts, and they are be-
ginning at wages as low as $75 or $100
a week, increasing gradually.
Even in these cases, however, the old
law of supply and demand Is likely to
prevail. Should one Of the new young
sters develop into a Joan Crawford or
Janet Gaynor, the studio. for its own
protection, will almost be forced to
grant an increase.
But the old regime of the movies, a
