Tested concern over fertilization

also would upset the balance of
power in the Pacific arranged at

Japan is the fourth largest con-
tributor to the leagues expenses,
paying this year $382,237. The
leagues revenues already are
strained and Is states are i'll ar

However. Japan will be morally
obliged to continue paying for at
least two years. Both Brazil and
Spain after their withdrawal con-
tinued to pay for two years.
The hotels in Geneva and the
cable companies also will be sor-

cable tolls defending the Japanese
case before the league.
Four other nations have with
drawn from the league. Brazil
quit in 1928 and Costa Rica in
1926. Spain gave notice in 1925
but returned before two years
elapsed. Mexico gave notice at
the end of last year for reasons

RUMAN|A JOINING
DEBT DEFAULTERS
Country's Allies Bring Pres
sure After 1t Had Decided
to Pay Token.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The Rumanian government which
had intended to join Great Britain and
italy in paying small amount of the
installment due on June Is. has decided
in the last minute not to make such
a payment and default together with
the other nations of the Little Entente.
The reason for Rumania's default is
that the block of agrarian states such
as Poland and Yugo-Slavia had
reached decision to ask for general
cancellation of debts at their last meet
ing in Bucharest. While Rumania had
agreed to this principle, 1t intended to
pay a small sum representing the inter-
est on the million odd dollars it owes
tomorrow
But under the pressure of her allies
who do not intend to make even a
token payment, the Rumanian minister
OF finance instructed the legation at
Washington to inform the United
States Government that Rumania will
not pay anything

Robertson, president Of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-

reduction by the railroads cannot be
justified and that his brotherhood

decrease.
Robertson was commenting on
statement by Dow, Jones e. Co, that
the roalroads would seek an additional
l215 per cent pay cut in addition to the
10 per cent reduction now in effect.
Gust how the railroads can ask
further deduction at this time, especially
when the whcle country is trying 10
initiate, when commodity prices are ris-
ing and business is gaining. Is more
than I can understand" said Robertson.
"It would be de1ationary move IN
the face of efforts to initiate"
Robertson said he had not been in
formed CT any such plan by the rail-
roads, but that under the agreement
reached last October the roads could
serve notice that they intended further
wage decrease any time after tomorrow
What procedure would be followed after
that Robertson was net prepared to say
Immediately
The 10 per cent reduction agreed upon
last year will be effective until next

FUNDS TO STOP ROAD SPENDING
Impounds s3,o0O,ooO in Capitol Vaults, Under Guard

It was learned that the money was
moved from the banks in which it had
been deposited because the Governor
and his advisers considered that the
Highway Board had been disregarding
the budget law and spending more
money than the law permitted in
defiance of the Governors wishes.
Fearing that the board would obtain
a Federal injunction to keep him from
withholding further access to the
money from the board, the Governor
ordered the money removed to the cap
itol vaults, it was learned. Posting of
the guard followed.
