 Second. take a passive attitude at Washington while encouraging further Pacific attempts by Argen- tina, Brazil, Chile and Peru, still smarting under diplomatic rebuffs administered by Bolivia in their last attempt.
 Third, cooperate with the league of nations in peace efforts which would have the semblance of a world effort to bring the recalci- trant disputants to 8 peaceful solu- ton, possibly under the world court.
 Fourth, mark time until the dis putants realize the jeopardy in which their strife has placed the peace of the continent, and chart course as developments warrant. Apparently the Kellogg-Briand

 To the superficial view, the sit- uation in the Chaco dispute may not have been changed physically by the declaration of war by Para guay, since the countries were al- ready engaged in armed hostilities. |. In serious fact, however, the sit uation is considered by we'll in- formed diplomats here to have two dangerous implications:
 First, it compels other foreign countries to arrive at political de- cisions with respect to the always highly controversial international law of neutrality;
 Second, it could conceivably mean the transfer to Europe of the initiative in settling inter-Ameri- can disputes.

STATE SENATE
CRAPPLES WITH
CLOSING JAM
Toll to UnraVeI Scramble,
Pull FaVorite Bills Out
for Action.
BY MILLER HAMILTON

Another busy day, with members
attempting to pull favorite bills out
of the last-minute jam, faced the
senate today as the session of the
seventy eighth assembly convened
for the next to last day.
Acting swiftly and smoothly all
day and part of Friday night, the
senate put through twenty-five new
acts. one Of which terminates the
office of Samuel Montgomery, Re
publican, Marion county inheritance
tax assessor, and gives the power to
appoint his successor to Governor
Paul V. McNutt. Montgomery had
held the job fourteen years.
This action leaves only two Re
publicans holding office in Marion
county. They aree Robert A. Hath
away, inspector Of weights and
measures, and Fred T. GLADDEN.,
county school superintendent, whose
term expires next August A bill
to eliminate Hathaway now is pend
ing in the senate.
CapStOne to Program
Action of the house bill giving the
Governor full power to transfer
state funds from one department to
another is expected in the senate
today. Administration senators say
it is the capstone for McNutt's fiscal
program.
Duties to fix state tax levies, I'M
der terms of the bills, are taken
from the state tax board and vested
in the Governors newly
treasury department.
One of the few setbacks expert
enced by McNutt forces came late
Friday when a bill to make primary
elections optional, instead of man
datory, was lost by a close vote.
Albright Stands Firm
Senator Alanson L. Albright
dem, Cayuga), elections committee
chairman, had been pigeon holing
this bill for several weeks, and had
lined up support chiefly among SEN
atOrs from the smaller counties.
Senator Anderson Ketchum Dem,
Greensburg, McNutt floor leader,
attempted to get the bill passed.
claiming it was another step in the
administrations economy program
Albright, joined by other support
ers Of the primary system, stood
firm and defeated the measure by
voting favorably on a motion to
indefinitely postpone.

Finally in our progress toward
resumption of work, we require two
safeguards against a return of the
evils of the old order; there must
be a strict supervision of all banking
and credits and investments; there
must be an end to speculation with
other peoples money, and there
must be provision for an adequate
but sound currency.
These are the lines of attack. I
presently shall urge upon new
