equal naval armaments, with each
nation determining its own cate
gories according to its needs, in
any preliminary naval discussions
the Japanese may enter, it was
learned today.
It was understood here that Oki
Hirota, foreign minister, has for
mulated a five point program as
Japan's basis policy for conversa-
tions suggested by Sir John Simon,
British foreign secretary.
The policy which Hirota will
submit to the cabinet for its ap-
proval next Tuesday is said to con-
tain the following provisions:
/. Discussions shall be restricted
to naval matters only, with all po-
litical matters excluded.
2. Re-examination of tonnages,
probably with special emphasis on
the total rather than categories.
3. REORGANIZATION of regional
naval needs, with attention on Pa
cific, North Atlantic, South At
lantic and European waters.
4. Total abolition of whatever Of
fensive weapons that can be dis

STRIKE OVER

MINNEAPOLIS, May 26. U.H -
Striking truck drivers who only five
days ago battled savagely in bloody
riots celebrated wildly today while
their employers signed surrender
to their most important demands.
Thousands of shouting, laughing
men jammed the streets around
union headquarters. Women joined
their men in the festivity and even
children danced in uncomprehend-
ing glee.
End of the Today strike was def
initely foreseen when the drivers
agreed after four hours of shouted
debate to submit grievances to a
seven-man board of arbitration to
be appointed by the regional labor
board.
The settlement bound employers
to pay a minimum wage of so cents
an hour, reemploy striking men,
recognize seniority rights and adopt
NRA code working hours. A union
demand for arbitration of any
grievance must be met within five
days.

PHILADELPHIA, May 26. U.P)-
War clouds in Europe and Asia are
growing gravely blacker over the

ference, Alexander A. Troyanovsky.
Russian ambassador to the United
States said last night.
"When 1 first came to your

war was lowering over Europe" he
said. "Many of you thought that
was an exaggeration. But I think
that the present situation in the
world is even darker than I at that
time supposed it to be-"
With tact the ambassador took
note of the excitement his appear
ance aroused.

city of our own revolution cannot
seem wholly strange in this city

Cities, counties and the state gen.
eral fund today were apportioned
their share of 1929, 1862, represent
ing December S to April 1 collec-
tions of state liquor license fees.

The navy today shared its glory
with the master of little fishing
smack as the destroyer Hale sped
William A Robinson, American to
the Canal Zone after an emergency
appendicitis operation.
Minimizing their own part in the
air-and-sea expedition to aid Rob-
inson. stricken in the Galapagos
Islands 970 miles from the canal,
navy officers reported they had
never seen more marvellous Chris
tian spirit than that shown by
Captain Anton Hage, master of the
tuna fishing smack Santa Cruz.
Hage, his smack anchored in Ia
gus Cove OF the Galapagos, took
complete charge of Robinson S
treatment until two navy seaplanes
reached there. He provided ice that
probably saved the yatchsman's life.
and diagnosed his illness, thus en-
abling the surgeons to take proper
instruments and supplies.
Lieut.. Com. Rollo Hutchison, the
operating surgeon Robinson's wife
and medical men watched Robin

ROUTE TO CHICAGO, May 26,
U.p)-With the throttle wide open,
the Burlington's flying bullet, the
Zephyr, was racing across Nebraska
today with a new speed record of
Ill miles per hour already behind
it.
The revolutionary high speed
train shattered it's best previous

JAPAN DRAWS UP PROGRAM FOR
OBTAINING FULL NAVAL EQUALITY

of the non-forfeited areas mention
ed in the Washington treaty.
1t is expected that under the
fifth provision Japan would seek
to include Singapore and Hawaii
among the unfortified areas with
japan making certain compensa-
tory offers in return.
Hirota has not issued any Off
cial statement but he is repre-
sented as feeling that the points
mentioned should be settled before
the 1895 conference Il attempted.
Some observers here believe that
a fuller outline of the policy will be
issued after the cabinet session
Tuesday.
In the meantime the japanese
have assured Great Britain unof-
ficially that they will be glad to
participate in the preliminary con-
versations suggested by Simon.
Some circles consider the posi-
bility that Japan will request the
non-fortification of the Hawaiian
Islands as a trading point. This
provision possibly may be eliminat-
ed even before it is presented to
the cabinet, observerc said, should
the trial balloon sent up result in
indications of bitter opposition.

FLY
SPRAY DEATH
FOR INSECTS

Summer seems to have broken
early this year-as is evidenced by
the fact that many surlmer fruits
and vegetables are now being
served on our tables. And those
pleasant evenings when we like to
sit around and relax are back
with us again. But there is one
penalty we have to pay for having
fresh fruits and vegetables again
and being able to enjoy summer
weather and the beautiful out-of-
doors. And that penalty is sum-
mer pests.
1t is interesting that IN one sea-
son a couple of young flies will
have about two million relatives
all of whom also inherit marvellous
ideas of multiplication Other in
sects multiply nearly as rapidly.
But here's a tip. With Oronite
fly spray in a handy spot in your
household, the matter OF ''pest
controlo will be small problem.
This fine produce lives up to its
"kill 'en quicker advertising
slogan.
A few advantages of Oronite fly
spray are that it is poisonous
to humans or to pets. it will not
stain fabrics or walls, and it does
not harm he daintiest colored gar
ments.
And Oronite fly sprays uses are
many. It kills many insects such
as ants, coaches, mosquitoes and
moths. Furriers use j. to spray
fine garments which need protec-
ton from destructive pests. 1t is
commonly used to free the kitchen
and dining room of flies or cook
ing odors, Kidding The cooler of ants,
the closet of moths, or even the
dog IS kennel of fleas. Chesterfields,
too. are saved from the destructive
work of moths and their larvae.
Outside the houst the garbage can
comes in for 4 few shots to kill
the odor-and the Tugs. Ants
starting toward the kitchen are
stopped cold.
All in all, Oronite fly spray is a
mighty helpful, and, after you have
once used 1t, indispensable addition
to your household.

if they would ratify the agreement
I would force Childers and Rose to
accept it, or make them answer to
the public for their failure to do so.
Coachella signed immediately-and
when I laid it before Rose and
Childers later in our own meeting,
they did not dare to refuse it. Men,
bers of the Coachella board will
bear out these statements.
We employed Harry Horton to
take Mr.. Childers place because
Harry Horton usually wins his
cases-and we need the best attor-
ney we can get to protect our ALL
American power resources. We
realize that with millions invested
here the Southern Sierras company
will carry the fight to the bitter
end and will employ the best legal
talent that can be obtained.
Messrs. Kalin, Young and myself
are pledged to insure for Imperial
Valley water users the maximum
benefits from the power develop
ment. We already have taken steps
to install the first unit of our elec-
trio system at Brawley, and we pro-
pose to carry on our fight for pub
lie ownership and distribution of
the power resources in the ALL
American canal until it is won. We
need not only an able attorney, but
one who is loyal to the board Of
directors as representatives of the
people of the valley. Mr. Horizons

one of fidelity to his clients. He

in his ability toy win the long fight
that is ahead.
Today we are having an audit
made of the irrigation district
books-the first real audit since the
1924 grand jury made an investi-
cation and then indicted Mark

When this audit is completed we

not to be stampeded by the false

which are being made by disgrunt-

We have found it necessary to
discharge some employees because
they wanted to play politics instead

are out to defeat me and discredit
the other members of the board SO
that they can get their noses in
