and Shoichi Nakayama, Japanese
charge d'affairs, announced he

China for the presence of two di-

city.
Chinese troops, unmindful of this
situation, went to the top of the
city walls insisting they would fire

DRY LEADERS
START FIGHT
Cannon And Mcbride Denounce
Statement Government Will
Get Money From Beer.

MARION, Ind, May %. {U.PD -
Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the
Methodist Episcopal church pre-
sented a convention of prohibition
enthusiasts here Sunday with a
resolution condemning President
Roosevelt for a recent statement on
repeal and taxation.
Cannon told the convention the
resolution had been adopted unani-
mously by meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the federal coun-
Gil of Churches of Christ in New
York.
The resolution read:
1--WE deplore the recent statement
of President Roosevelt emphasiz-
ing that the repeal of the 18th
amendment would yield enough
revenue to eliminate the tempor-
airy unemployment taxes We sub
init that the question of the re-
peal of the 18th amendment has
been formally submitted to the
states for their action and should
be determined by the states entire
ly apart from any appeal by the
administration for support of its
policy or program of taxation"
WASHINGTON, May %. kU.Pi-
Repeal of the 18th amendment in
the hope that liquor revenue would
reduce taxation would be the most
colossal loan shark transaction in
American history" F.. Scott Nc
Bride, general superlnl endent OF
the Anti-Saloon league said last
night.
In one of the few statements is
sued since the legalization of 80
per cent beer and liberalization of
whisky and wine prescriptions, the
dry head accused the liquor traf-
fic of taking advantage of the ma
tion's economic distress to exploit
the drink traffic.
1t was the reply of prohibition
lists to statements made by Bud
get Director Lewis w. Douglas and
others before the house ways and
means committee that new taxes to
be imposed to finance the cost of
the projected $3,300,000,000 public
works program could be removed
after repeal of the dry act.
President Roosevelt, in his public
works industrial control bill mes
sage to congress, recommended that
these taxes be lifted when the ma
tional income is increased by re-
peal and business recovery.
Witnesses before the COMMITTEES
testified that repeal Of the dry law
would yield the government $780,
100000 year in revenue.
Mcbride charged that liquor rev.
enue estimates were based on the
record of revenue returns from the
old time liquor traffic in pre-pro-
hibition years.

Reported AIbi

SAN FRANCISCO, May %. U.P,
"A bizarre story of a former pri-

deposited the bomb that killed, 10
persons in the 1916 Preparedness
day parade was viewed skeptically
today by Tom Mooney, awaiting a
new trial in the case for which he
is serving life Imprisonment.
John P. Emerson, who has weav-
ed in and out of the case for years,
said the men were agents of the
late Martin Swanson, power COM
pany detective, who plotted to
"get" Mooney by planting" the
explosive in MONEYS labor head
quarters and then discovering" it.
The plot went amiss, Emerson
charged, when the agents became

ROME, May %. U.P)-A treaty
binding Europe's leading powers TO
keep the peace for 10 years await
ed formal initiating by diplomats
today after approval by representa-
tives of the contracting nations =
Italy, Great Britain, France and
Germany.
Benito Mussolini wrote the pact
months ago. He revived it this
weekend as an ideal, and perhaps
essential, basis for agreement by
the disarmament conference at
Geneva and the world economic
conference which meets at Lon
don June IL.
So swiftly did he obtain approval
by representatives of the powers
for his revived program that when
the news was flashed out las. night
it was greeted with skepticisin in
other European capitals.
Drafts of the pact were due TO
arrive today at London, Paris, Ber-
lin and Geneva. The plan was for
representative of the contracting
nations to initial the treaty at
Geneva, in connection with the dis
armament conference. Mussolinl
prepared to announce its approval
in his chamber of deputies today
or tomorrow, and if all went well
to proclaim his success &c sthe
world over an international radio
hoolSup.
1t was easy TO understand the
surprise even in Well-informed
quarters at news of the pact, for
| heretofore it has been viewed with
misgivings in many influential
quarters. 1t has been modified
somewhat, it was understood from
its original form, but it still en-
visioned eventual revision of the
Versailles peace treaty, though
within the framework of the League
of Nations covenant.
Roosevelt Aided
Credit for the pact goes to Mus
solini, though President Roc seyelt
and Ramsay Macdonald, British
premier were of material help.
Macdonald accepted the pact
when he and Sir John Simon, his
foreign minister, visited Rome in
March. France and Germany held
back. Then came President Roose-
velt's appeal to the world for peace
and disarmament, and Adolf Hit
ler's temperate sequal to i. in the
(xaf-r,oan raicbctoO
Hermann Gering, special envoy
of Hitler, arrived in Rome for
conference at the opportune time.
Mussolini obtained his apri oval of
the revised pact, then that of
Henri de Jouvenal, French ambas-
sador.
Details of the conferences that
led to the approval are not known.
Europes smallar nations, the little
entente" Czechoslovakia Rouman:a
and ugoslavia-allies of France
and Poland, always fearful of Ger
many, had opposed the treaty, be-
lieVing their interests might be
endangered by a pact that included
only the stronger nation. It. was
assumed France obtained conces-
sions that would satisfy them. es-
pecially concerning national bound
aries fixed by the Versailles treaty.

Deputies from the sheriff's office
aided by Nal Carberry, Brawley
aviator, are searching Salton Sea
and the neighboring territory fer
a man supposed to be Floyd Emer-
son, and Ruth Fullerton, both of
BraWley, reported as missing since
noon yesterday.
According to the report given to
the sheriffs office early this morn
ing, Emerson and Miss Fullerton,
who were members of a party on a
picnic near Sea View, left there in
an open boat yesterday forenoon
for cruise on Salton Sea. Since
that time neither has been seen.
Following the report, Sheriff
Campbell with deputies Fred Ell
liott, Harold Gillett and Don Camp
bell left for Sea View with the in
tenticn Of giving the whole terri
tory surrounding the sea a thor
ough search. The sheriff also re-
quested Carberry to make the
search from the air. If necessary,
it was stated this morning, other
planes will be brought into service
to locate the missing persons.
Owing to the high winds which
swept over the valley yesterday It
is feared that the open boat in
which they were riding might have
been swamped.

STATEMENT OF POLICIES ADOPTED
BY FEDERAL EMPLOYEES BODY

posed to further inroads upon the
already depleted pay envelopes of
government workers.
Prior to the enactment of the So
called economy act, outstanding un-
biased personnel authorities were
agreed that the Federal scale was
entirely too low. The economy act
reduced that already low scale by
q minimum of 1-3 per cent. The
first pay cut was not dictated by
sound economics, generally or spe-
officially, nor by any consideration
of good personnel practice. Recon-
mendations for still further cuts
IRE absolutely indefensible on any
score. The National Federation of
Federal Employees aill oppose them
with. all the vigor at it's command.
