Although the Jews in Germany have
become outcasts, Jewish culture is
now more flouriShing than ever.
Driven out of German life, they have
organized a culture league-Kultur-
bund-which has set out to build a
true Jewish theater. 1t is Jewish, not
only in aim, culture and thought,
but to the last man, woman and child
in the audience, for the German gov
ernment. in granting permission to
organize this league, has stipulated
that no Aryan should be allowed

The Kulturbund has established
theaters in Berlin and four other i'm

This
Changing
World
British Hasten Completion
of Huge Singapore
Naval Base.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY CONSIANIINE BhOWN.
The British are Fastening the COM
pletion of the Singapore naval base,
which will be the most powerful fort
ress of the British Empire in the Far
East.
AS the chances for an agreement at
the naval conference of 1885 are
growing DINNER, the British realize
that they need something really
strong to protect their contact with
the empire.
There was a time, some 10 years
ago. when the British government did
not think Singapore would ever be Of
any consequence. war in the Far
East, they believed, was not thinkable
and it was only a jingoiSt idea to
throw money away in the Singapore
fortress. So, the first labor govern
ment under Ramsay. Macdonald de-
cided to suspend all work as waste
of money which could be used to a
better advantage by feeding the un-
employed in Great Britain.
Times have changed since the hey
days of the labor government. Every
body sees ominous signs of inevitable
wars and today the British govern
ment is spending all the necessary
money to hasten completion of the
Singapore defenses. These have be-
come still more important since it is
evident that Hongkong can be taken
by the japanese at the slightest prov
ocation, within three days.
X
The original plans provided that the
fortification of Singapore should be
ready in 1888 or 1889. This may be
too late, and the British government
is spending now about $6O,000000 to
complete the Notifications before 1886.
Evening star., 1934-08-29

No less than $4,000 Chinese, Malay
and Hindus are working "a hours a
dav at those Notifications. The
$50. 900 900 will go a long way when 1t
is realized that these laborers receive
less than cents an hour for their
work.
More important than the Singapore
naval base will be its airbase, which
will harbor no less than 1000 planes,
mostly hydroplanes. The royal air
force there. which at present con-
sists of only six squadrons, will be-
come the most important force in the
British Empire.
The officers will be hand-picked and
the chief of staff has already been
selected in the person of Comdr. h. A.
George, who has made a name Tor
himself in recent years by developing
a new technique of attacking war
craft from the air. This technique
consists in plunging from 10000 feet
in the air to only 5000 feet, dropping
500-pound bombs and zooming up
again to safety as speedily as possible.
The new prime minister of Japan,
Admiral Okada, has been recon-
mended to the Emperor by Japan's
only living elder statesman, Prince
Saionji, because of his scrupulous
honesty. After the scandals in the
previous japanese administrations, 1t
was necessary to re-eStablish the con-
fidence of the people in their rulers.
Okada, who was minister of the
navy in the Sato cabinet, insisted that
he should be retired when he reached
the age limit, although according to
the japanese law he could have stayed
on as a cabinet minister if he wanted
to
He retired in a small humble cottage
in the suburbs of Toxic and led there
the life of a pauper.
When he was called to form
cabinet he did not have cent to his
name Not even enough money to
pay for transportation to see various
politicians whom he wanted to take
into his ministry.
Having heard the plight of the
admiral, a young japanese by the
name of TSuji who came from the
same district as new premier, rushed
to his house and left an envelope con-
tanning 100 yen-$25-to pay for the
admirals taxi fares. The money was
gratefully accepted.
Okada is naturally no paciist-
quite the contrary. But he was the
only admiral in 1880 who approved
the London naval agreement, in spite
of the tremendous feeling of the gen.
eral public against it. With the same
fearless determination he showed
then, he is now ready to scrap it,
x X X
On the twentieth anniversary of
the outbreak of the World War, sta
tisticians have figured out that with
the money wasted in that war each
family in the United States, France,
Great Britain, Canada, Belgium, Ger
many and Russia could have had a
Well-built and nicely furnished home.
Each city with more than 100000 in
habitants could have had a perfectly
equipped hospital costing 81 OOO,0O
and a similar number of public
libraries. After building these hos
pitals and libraries there would have
been enough money left to cancel the
public debts of all these seven
countries.
This may be true, although Dis
raeli said once that there are three
kinds of liars in the world: Just
plain liars, damned liars and stat
iSticianS.

GREENFIELD, Mass, Dec. 8
GN.SD With weekend recess
called in the secret inquest into
the shotgun Staying Of DR.. Alliott
Speer. headmaster of Mt. Hermon
School, in Northfield, nearly three
months ago, it was learned today
that the principal suspect in the
case, his "alibi" blasted, was un-
der constant surveillance of de-
tectives.
Authorities forged their strong
est link in their chain of circum-
Stantial evidence shattering the
"alibi" story Of the man under
suspicion, when they called sew
eral witnesses whose stories were
in direct contradiction to that
told by the suspect.
Principal among them were
William Mitchell, employe at a
Northfleld hotel; Herman Miner
and Miles Morgan, garage en-
ployeS; Albert D. Larue. of Mel
rose; George Bliss. of Northamp-
ton, and Stanley L. Ste&rns, of

Mr.. Mitchell was said to have
placed the suspects automobile
at a Northfield garage a few min
utes after DR.. Speer was slain.
Mr.. Miner and Mr.. Morgan also
placed the automobile at the

BLAME ON ITALY

ADDS ABABA, Dec. 3 G.N.S).
Denying the Italian version of the
bloody battle near Ulual Wells. in
Italian Somaliland, in which so
troopers lost their lives, the AbyS-
siniaan Government today an
nounced Italy was to blame for
the battle.
Native troops of Italian Somali-
land, armed with tanks, airplanes
and heavy artillery and COM
manded by italian officers,
launched a surprise attack upon
Abyssinian soldiers, according to
the official report made public
here.
The Abyssinian troops were an
escort for British Ethiopian COM
mission, the Government an
nounced, stating also that the
incident occurred on December S.
Protest Ordered
The italian version of the affair
was that Italian troops had been
attacked by a band of Abyssinian
raiders.
The Abyssinian Charge DAT
faires at Rome was instructed to
protest to the italian Government
and to demand an immediate eX-
PLANTATION.
The Charge D'Affaires was
ordered to ask italy to explain
alleged armed occupation by 1tal-
ians of various points of Abyssin-
ian territory, and alleged inter
ference of Italian Somaliland
troops with the work of the Anglo
Ethiopian commission studying
the question of pasturage and
demarcation.
Inquiry Hindered, Charge
The Anglo-Ethiopian commits
sion arrived at Ual Ual on Novem
Der %, protected by an Abyssinlan
escort and met by an italian force
of 800 men under Captain Cim-
maruta who allegedly refused to
allow the visitors to set camp.
Captain Cimmaruta, according
to the Abyssinian government,
attempted to intimidate the escort
by a display of force.
Protests by the Abyssinians. it
is alleged, were met by the Italians
by calling up tanks, troops and
airplanes from italian Somaliland
The situation grew worse daily
until the climax on December 5,
