TR|-PARTY TREATY
GAINS IN FAVOR
SWedish.N Norwegian Danish
Entente Proposal Re-
Gently Revived.

COPENHAGEN (P.-Anti-parlia-
mentary moves in Europe and pro-
posals for reforming the League Of
Nations have brought new thoughts
of a Swedish Norwegian Danish en-
tente.
The most concrete proposal has
been advanced by Prof. Bertil Ohlin.
Swedish economist and one-time lee
turer at. Yale University, who urges
q tariff union and defensive mill.
tary alliance.
While his proposal has opened a
widespread discussion. official COM
ment has been guarded.
Skeptical Of Alliance.
II always have wished the great
est economical cooperation between
the Scandinavian nations" said Theo-
dore Stauning, the Danish prime
minister, but am skeptical regarding
q military alliance"
Per Albin Hanson, Swedish pre-
mier. said:
Time invites extended cooperation
between the northern peoples. I agree
with Stauning's comments on eco
nomic cooperation, though defen-
sive military pact, In my opinion, is
inexpedient"
It Is to the continued existence Of
the League of Nations, with a change
toward increased strength, that most
Scandinavians look.
Denmark. strategically located for
commercial life, but in bad position
in any conflict between European
powers, sees the League as the one
bulwark against foreign aggression.
Denmark Looks Ahead.
Germany's resignation from the
League was looked upon here as little
short of a catastrophe. Acceptance
by Denmark of the northern part of
Schleswig- -Holstein after the World
War created a situation now seen as
dangerous.
Many influential Danes harbor the
opinion that economic and political
developments may some day put be-
fore Denmark the choice Of becoming
either a member of the British Empire
or a part of the Reich.

STEElTESTSPROMISE
FASTER NAVY SHIPS
New Process Being Developed to
Provide Heavier Armed Yes.
sells Under Treaty.
Hy the Associated Press.

The Navy Department and the
steel industry are working together
in the development of a new process
which officials believe will give Amer
lea faster, larger and more heavily
armed fighting ships.
A series of experiments into the
whole field of steel casting-important
both to the industry and the Navy
are under way at the Naval Reseach
Laboratory here and steel company
laboratories throughout the country.
These experiments have been going
on some time, and while naval en-
gineers were reluctant to discuss
progress made, they gave indications
they were pleased. No secret was
made of the fact that the general
purpose of the studies was to perfect
steel castings or vessels which would
reduce their present immense weight.
This added weight to overcome flaws
and imperfections in castings has
been found to eat heavily into the
tonnage limitations on vessels set by
naval treaties. A reduction in pound
age, officers said, could be used to
provide additional guns and added
machinery for increased speed.
Another possibility, they said, would
be added armor protection, affording
vessels greater durability in battle.
IF under a process We can be
sure that castings are always 100 per
cent perfect and always able under all
pressures to do the work expected of
a part of a fighting vessel. we could
reduce considerably the cost of ships"
one naval engineer said.
So important has the Navy con-
sidered the development Of more per-
feet castings that it sent Capt. Louis
Shane, naval engineering expert, to
Europe to study processes there. In
brief, his report was that the Eu-
ropean systems, like the American,
are far from perfection.
The question of steel castings In
naval vessels came prominently to the
fore several years ago when the stern
posts Of five Of Americas new, crack
1O,OO0-ton cruisers had to be re-
newed. They were the Northampton,
Chester, Louisville. Chicago and Au-
gusta To save weight, the stern posts
in these vessels had been made lighter
than usual.

EARLY POLYNES|AN
CULTURE TRACED
Bishop Museum Expedition
Seeks Facts on South
Seas Race.

HONOLULU R).-Whence came
the Polynesians, who had culture
extending over vast area In the
South Seas before white civilization
engulfed it?
The answer to that question and
fuller information on the life and
customs of the island race are sought
by an expedition from the Bishop Mu-
scum here which sailed March l for
six-month stay among hitherto un-
studied Southeastern Polynesian is
lands.
The expedition will travel on an 85-
foot sampan, the largest in these
waters, renamed the Islander. Its
itinerary includes the Islands of Man
gareva, Oeno, Pitcairn, Rapa, Tubai,
Rurutu, Raivavae and Rimitara.
A second ship, the cutter Riare Ia
hiti. will be employed by the expe-
dition. with headquarters at Papeete
Tahiti. This yacht left Honolulu in
late December to serve as a transfer
ship for the ethnologists while they
work among the $50 islands of the
Tuamotu Archipelago.
Once regarded as a weak race. in
capable of enduring white civilization,
the Polynesians. as represented by
the Hawaiians, have come back vigor-
ously in the last few years until the
fear that they might finally become
extinct has been dissipated.
Some ethnologists have called them
Of Malaysian origin and others have
argued they are branch of the
Aryan race. Although dark, some
Polynesians are physically among the
handsomest Of the human race.
For 13 years the Bishop Museum
has conducted a systematic study OF
Polynesia, which the present expedi-
ton hopes to conclude. In the course
of this study. Bishop representatives

Campbell Carson, 64, who battled for
years in the courts against the Ma
tion's leading copper companies over
alleged infringements on his copper
smelling furnace, finally winning a
judgment which made him wealthy,
died Saturday at his home here.
Carson sued the American Smelling

the cases being taken four times to
the United States Supreme Court.
His suit against the American Smelt-
ing & Refining Co. was settled in
1880 for ST ,O59,584
To press the suit, Rudolph Spreckels,
Robert Hayes Smith and other cap
italists organized the Carson Invest

Carson was almost penniless at
times while his suits were in progress.
Carson's wife at one time brought
insanity proceedings against him, but
they were reconciled in April, 1928,
when she said she had learned to
understand his tantrums."

Attractive Homes Sought.
He expressed his views at the Union

Prof. Woolrich said one Of the aims
of the authority will be to develop
the farm home by making available
the power with which the Tennessee
Valley is SO we'll endowed, SO that our
rural homes are attractive centers of
community thought and activity"
Another aim of the T. v. A., he
said, will be to raise the level Of ag-
ricultural life by supplementing the
farm income with some income from
industry.
Such industrial development" he
added, will help to reduce the farm
ers' tax load and provide local mar
ket for agricultural products as well
as materials for industry"
He said many counties in the Ten
nessee Basin had lost population be-
cause Of lack Of opportunities on the
small farms.
BY charts he showed that a random
selection of 16 farmers in a Tennes-
see county showed an average net in
come Of $3.50 annually. In the same
area a random selection of farmers
having supplementary income from
industry showed an average net in
come of $3.50.

out to determine methods by which
decentralized industry may promote a
better adjustment of the activities of

bers, fierce desert tribesmen who have
resumed guerrilla warfare against the
French Foreign Legion in Southern
Morocco, win q salute of admiration
for their fighting abilities from Mau-
rice Hamonneau, president Of the
Veterans of the French Foreign Legion
in America.
The Moroccan rebels are cruel but
they are not the barbarians that many
people suppose them to be, according
to Mr.. Hamonneau, who was born In
Algeria and served as private in the
Foreign Legion when the French con-
quered Morocco In 1907.

fanatics" he said. But they are q

And they never have been completely
conquered. Perhaps they are the only
race in all history that has not at
some time been subjugated."
THE Arabs" Mr.. Hamonneau went
on, ARE a different people. They are
fat, lazy. dirty, thieves and liars. They
have been subjugated many times. But
the Berbers are tall, lean, honest anC
real fighters. There is no hope fol
them now, Of course. This latest raid

makes them fight, when they have
no hope at all Of driving out the

The men of the plains were easy to
