BARRIERS HERE
ARE OPPOSED
TO NEW RATE

Grumbling by the public over the
advance in the price of haircutS to
IS cents is shared by the Master
BARRIERS Association of Ell Centre,
according to A. S, Newkirk, presi-
dent of the association.
Our loal organization has sup
ported the scale of prices which
has prevailed here recently" he
said today, setting the price of
haircuts at SO cents. We are salts
fled with that and believe it fair
both to the customer and to the
barber.
But master BARRIERS OF the SOU
thern section of the state have been
out-voted by those in the northern
section Prices there have always
been higher than in Southern Cali
fornia and their organization sue
ceeded in getting the 65-cent rate
written into the MIRA code over our
protest.
I'm fairness to us we ask the
public not TO blame us for the pri-
ces. We have not quit fighting for
a lower rate and hope to convince
officials that a differential between
the north and south sections of the
state is not only desirable but
necessity. We must charge the new
rate or be subject to heavy fine
The new scale becomes effective
next wednesday and will be charged
in local shops"

At that time Japan will seek re-
vision of the treaty to permit her
navy to rival more nearly that of
Great Britain and the United
States. She is not expected to ask
absolute equality.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 49, U.P)
The present treaty limitation of
the Japanese navy is intolerable -
to young Japan. it was declared
here today by Count Yasutoshi va
nigasawa, member of the House of
Peers.
Count Yan:gasawa said that ia
pan is prepared to raise $500, 900
by popular subscription, with a
unity of purpose evidenced by the
United States in subscribing to the
Liberty loans of war days. The
greater part of the money will be
spent on the navy. Some will go
toward stabilizing Manchukuo.
The older people of Japan are op-
posed to the immense expenditure
for ornaments at this time, Count
YanigaSawa said.
"But young japan demands no
curtailment and young Japan's is
the stronger voice." said the
count, last year IS chairman of the

WAR
IN FAR EAST
Chinese Leader Makes Eloquent
Appeal For His Country At
League Conference.
BY STEWART BROWN
1ited Press Staff COrreSnondI

GENEVA. Sept. 90. UP)-A great
war in the far east unless Japan is
halted in her expansion program
was predicted today by wellington
Koo, Chinese chief delegate, in an
earnest appeal to the League of
Nations assembly.
"Do not let the League IS cove
nant become a scrap of paper, -
Koo said. "All signs in the far
east point to a major conflict with
in the next few years. If the cove
nant is permitted to be a scrap of
paper east of Suez, how can it be-
come a reality in Europe?"
Japan broke the League covenant
in selling Manchuria and forming
the new state of Manchukuo, Koo
said.
$50 long as that breaking of the
covenant is left unsettled in &C
cordance with international and
treaty obligations, he continued,
sit will remain, if not an insur-
mountable obstacle, at least a
stumbling block in the path of new
international agreements looking to
economic and military disarmament.
"China is doing her utmost to
resist the attempt to convert the
covenant into a scrap of paper She
is determined steadfastly to main
tain all her rights. She will not
recognize, and will not acquiesce in,
an illegally accomplished fact.
"The delay in enforcing the
Manchurian report of the assembly
(Which held Japan wrong in her
Manchurian policy is undermining
the covenant everywhere and i'm
periling world peace.
"The absence of any effective
action by the league has encour-
aged those who continuously pro-
claim the belief that might is right
and has placed a premium on ag-
gression.''
"Ominous clouds are gathering
in the far east,o said Koo. "The
race for ornaments has begun
with great naval and air maneuv-
ers, fleet concentrations, fortifica-
ton of bases, trial notifications
and enormous increase in war ex-
penditures. -
Japan, he said, already had given
notice that she intended to increase
her navy in 1885 and the choice lay
between upholding the covenant
everywhere or nowhere.
"It means disarmament or re-
armament he said, economic
recovery or a continuance of the
world crisis, war or peace"

plant Immediately and ordered its
production quota transferred to
other eastern plants.
Ford does not intend to close the
Edgewater, N. j., plant unless the
walkout there becomes general.
The manufacturer does not be-
lieve the strikes in the east will
spread. He claims he is paying his
workers a much higher wage scale
than they could receive employed
elsewhere at the present time.
/, The Ford wage scale ranges, from
so cents an hour for a small MI

an hour for skilled workers. Ford
has ordered his plants back on a
