.BRIIAIN SEEKS
OWN FORTUNE
BY FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent


LONDON, july 13. "A firm dec
laration by Sir John Simon, foreign
minister, that Great Britain's for
eign policy was for the good of the
British, not of Europe, marked to-
day a house of commons debate on
foreign affairs that seemed to in
dicate cabinet split on rearma-
ment.
I'VE are not going to undertake
any new obligations in Europe at
ALL" Simon said.
Nor will we lend ourselves to
support any arrangement among
European states under which one
group builds up a combination
against another. That was made
quite clear to M. Barthou uouis
Barthou, French foreign ministeD
en- his visit here this week. He
accepted that"
Simon's speech came soon after
the disclosure that Britain had
urged in Berlin, Warsaw and Rome
advisability of an eastern European
security treaty, in an apparent ef-
fort to forestall a speech by Chan
cellor ADOLF Hitler in the reichstag
tonight. Hitler was expected to
oppose the treaty as aimed against
Germany.
In discussing this treaty today
Simon for the first time announced
that Britain, like other nations
would welcome Russia into tie
League of Nations. Russia would be
warmly welcomed. Simon said.
Russia's MEMBERSHIP was even es-
sential, he said, if the eastern Eu-
ropean treaty, to which he would
be signatory, were concluded.
He continued to invite Germany
into the combination.

UNIUNS VU1E
ASSESSMENT
FOR STRIKERS

LOS ANGELES, Juy 13. U.p =
The financial support of every la
Dor union in the city was swung
behind striking maritime workers
at Los Angeles harbor today.

late yesterday to assess every work

the Central Labor council, said the
money would be used to feed strik-
ers and otherwise aid them in their
battle with shipowners.
No action was taken toward call
ing a general strike.
Earlier prospects that the strik-
ers would agree to return TO then
posts to await arbitration Of their
demands faded when San Pedro
seamen voted, $40 to ASP. against
the plan. The group included ma
rine cooks. stewards. sailors and
firemen who declared a sympathy"
strike shortly after the longshore-
men walked out in May.
Officials of the seamen's union
said they interpreted the vote as
indicating the seamen lacked con-
fidence in arbitration.
Meanwhile violence flared along
another strike front. A band of
strikebreakers set upon pickets at
the Mission hosiery mills. precipi-
tating a riot. Five strikers were
beaten severely before police could
quell the disturbance. Police said
the attack appeared planned and
feared a possible attempt at repris-
al. Strikebreakers have been work
ing the plant for IA weeks.
The executive board of the Gen.
tral Labor council will meet tonight
TO set a date for mass meeting
CT all union labor to discuss the
marine strike The board also Is

LA GUARDIA VOWS
TO FEED JOBLESS
No Starvation in New York Is
Pledge of Mayor, Despite Halt
of F. z. r. A. Cash.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 15.-Mayor
La Guardia, still deeply concerned over
the enforced stoppage of home and
work relief payments to the citys job
less, declared tonight there will be NO
starvation in New York" whatever
drastic steps must be taken to avert
hunger.
The city's payments of more than
$17,000,000 monthly, providing food
rent, light and gas to 100000 families,
were suspended yesterday for lack OF
funds when the board of aldermen
failed to pass the mayors proposed
business tax. More than 1900, 900 men,
women and children are dependent on
the cash relief.
The mayor received a further set
back when Harry L. Hopkins, Federal
relief administrator advised him from
Washington that the Federal Emer-
gency relief administration would not
advance funds to tide the city over
the present emergency in the absence
of the city's providing its share of
the sum.
The F. E. r. A. has been providing
so per cent of the total, the city rs
per cent and the State Of New York
25 per cent.

The new American Navy, as 1t is
at present planned, will be discussed
by Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
Henry Latrobe Roosevelt in the Ma
tional Radio Forum when he speaks
over Station WRC and Nationwide
hook-up of the National Broadcasting
Co. on Wednesday night at 10:30
o'clock. His radio audience will be in
formed on what the Navy is doing and
the work of the Roosevelt administra-
ton in building our forces up to Lon
don treaty strength. The forum is ar
ranged by The Washington Star.
President Roosevelt is considered
one of the best friends the American
Navy ever had, so when it came to
picking an Assistant Secretary, to be
the right-hand man of Secretary
Swanson, long the chairman of the
Senate Naval Committee, the Chief
Executives cousin was selected for the
job. And he has done it well, in the
belief of observers. for this stocky,

energy and ability that have come to
be associated with that famous Ameri-
can family.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt knows
the Navy from the official viewpoint
and the viewpoint of a Marine in the
field. In his official position he fire.
quently confers with President Roose-
velt on naval matters, and in his
Office in the Navy Department, where
photos of previous Assistant Secre-
taries, including the famous Teddy"
look down upon him, he plays an i'm
portant part in the formulation CT
future naval policies.
A native of Morristown, N. j., As
sistant Secretary Roosevelt was born
October S, 1879. From New York, he
was appointed to the Naval Academy
in 1895. In September, 1899, he re-
signed from the Navy and three
months later was commissioned a
second lieutenant in the Marine
Corps. Promotion to first lieutenant
came in July, 1900. He was advanced
to assistant quartermaster with the
rank of captain in 1908, major in
1908 and lieutenant colonel in Decem-
ber, 1919. He resigned from the serv-
ice July 8, 1920. On March Is, 1888,
President Roosevelt appointed him
Assistant Secretary of the Navy.

industry which appears to render use
less the work Of the paid renegades
who betray their country for a mere
pittance.
The commission" system which Is
being denounced by the arms investi-
gators does not apply only to war
material, but to most other contracts
which are negotiated between coun-
tries.
A parliamentary commission is be-
ing set up at present in Rumania to
investigate a serious scandal involv-
ing cabinet ministers which was
brought to light during the hearing
of the case of British road con-
tracing firm against the Rumanian
government.
The government Cancelled a con-
tract signed in 1880 because II
claimed that the price charged by
this British firm was exorbitant. The
firm claims that the original tender
was reasonable, but the price had to
be increased when a number of per-
sons in high places" had insisted on
having enormous commissions foI
themselves added to the contract.

The Poles are apparently not ac-
quainted with the Anglo-Saxon prin-
ciple of not hitting a fellow when he
less blow to the poor League of
Nations at a time when she Is
struggling for existence.
The spectacular effect of Russia
joining that body was completely
Offset by the Poles telling the League
to mind its own business and cease
interfering with the minorities in
that republic.
X \ X r
This was an unexpected blow to
the League; the French, the British
and the Italians consider it as a foul
The Poles had pledged themselves to
accept an international control over
the minorities, and observers who
have visited that country since its
re-establishment as an independent
state say that such control is
necessary.
When the lion was very sick and
dying the long-suffering mule gave
him a powerful kick and Dragged
about it. This is about what the
Polish government did to the League
of Nations.
The reasons for the change OF
attitude OF the Polish government
are threetold. The PoliSh-Gernan
entente giUes Poland q ne,D feeling
of selt-relidnce and makes her more
Independent of France and her
allies; the Polish government has
completely lost faith in the Leagues
efficacy to protect smaller nations
and, finally, Marshal Pilsudsky.
PolGnd'S dictator, is suspicious OF
Russia and does not like the idea
of the Sopiets being so close to
France no1D.
Poland realizes full well that by
hitting the League it is France which
is really hit. But that does not seem
to matter any longer, since the
65, ,000, 900 Germans are ready to jump
to Poland's assistance at any time.
The exclamation "hooray" Is not
thoroughly Germanic, Herr Goebbels
has discovered. Furthermore, nom
Aryans are using it, too. ConSe-
Quently the Germans are seeking
another word Hell Hitler" is not
sufficient because it does not contain
all shades of popular enthusiasm. 1t
is the Nordic legends which have
provided Goebbels with a new express
! sion. Siegfried's war cry, "Hojotoho
Hejaha," has been suggested as a
substitute for the non-Aryan hooray.
Mussolini is seriously porried
about the fall OF the birth rate in
France. II the present trend con-
tinues, he says, 10 years hence
there UiH be only $4,000 nelD
births in that country. This ,piH

a minute to remedy this situation,
but Italy's dictator refrains from sug-
gesting how the i'll shall be remedied.

emphasized that "the Soviet has
made consolidation of peace the
main task of its foreign policy"
What opposition there was to the
Russian election was not strong. Ar
gentina, Portugal and Panama alb
stained from voting.
A movement to require a pledge
from Russia that she would. give re-
hgious liberty to the foreigners in heI
midst, apparently died aborning. Right
up until the time of the telegraphic
dispatch of the invitation to Moscow
efforts were made to specify such a
pledge along the lines of the assur-
ances given the United States when
that country recognized the Soviet.
Louis Barthou, foreign minister OF
France, who had fought in and out
of the Assembly and Council halls for
the election of Russia, announced
Russia's acceptance. He had succeed
ed in eliminating all obstacles to the
success of his project.
1t was revealed today that the drive
toward organizing Europe on a peace
basis has been accentuated by a de-
cision of the Balkan powers in favor
of Mediterranean pact which
would include Italy and such nations
as Turkey, Greece, Yugoslavia and
Rumania.
Now that Russia's League member
ship is assured, the Associated Press
was given to understand that France
and England will direct new efforts
toward bringing about some sort OF
an Eastern European securities pact,
similar to the Locarno pact, in which
Germany and Poland would feel they
could participate.
Collaboration Pledged.
Russia's acceptance pledged her to
collaborate with the League on world
peace, and the telegraphed answer to
the League voiced pleasure that the
League was striving to harmonic the
BRAND Kellogg pact with the League
covenant.
The reply also accepted article l
of the covenant, which opens the
League to any state giving effective
guarantees of sincere intention to
observe its international obligations
The resolution adopted by the League
Council announced its decision, in vir-
tue of powers derived from the cove
nant, to appoint the U. S. S. R. a
permanent member of the Council as
soon as its admission to the League
was agreed to by the Assembly. which
was invited to approve the decision
The next step is Russia's election
by the League Assembly. which re-
quires a two-thirds majority. The AS
sembly also must ratify, after the
election, Russia's ALLEGATION to per-
manent seat on the Council.
