SIR JOHN MOVES
To SAVE ARMS
CONFERENCE
British Foreign Secretary In
vites Barthou to Tea as
Crisis Threatens
BY ARNO DOsCH,FLEUROT

GENEVA, May 81 Q.N.S).
The Geneva disarmament confer
ence was brought to the brink
of disaster by yesterdays bitter
exchanges between the foreign
ministers of France and England,
it was admitted today by Arthur
henderson, president of the con-
ference.
The clouds have never hung so
heavy over the disarmament ques-
ton. Henderson said after a two
hours talk with Louis Barthou,
French foreign minister, and an
hours conversation with Sir John
Simon, British foreign secretary.
Olive Branch Extended
Sir John, who opened yester'
days acrimonious debate by
charging that France, by oppos-
ing increased German armamentS,
was responsible for the deadlock
in the arms conference, extended
the olive branch to M. Barthou.
He invited the French diplomat
to tea. M. Barthou accepted and
at headquarters of both the
French and British delegations
the belief was expressed that
was describe as only a personal
quarrel" would be ended.
Just previously the conference
officers and Mr.. Henderson had
decided it would be fatal to let
the bitter quarrel between the
British and the French continue.
All speeches scheduled for to.
day were cancelled.
u. S. Backs Britain
The lineup was clear:
Britain, backed by the United
States, insists that nothing will
be possible in the way of. dis
armament unless Germany Is
brought back to Geneva.
France, backed by Russia,
is determined to keep Germany
out of Geneva.

THUMBS DOWN
ON SOUTHERN:
P|NEPROJECT
Domestic Paper Manufacture
Hit by the Professors as
Foreign Trade Blow
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
Copyright, 1894. by International New
Service.)


Service.)
The theory that the United
States should not develop new in
duStries, nor seek to increase the
productivity Of industries already
existing, because it would ad-
versely affect foreign trade, has
been laid down by the so-called
Brain Trust"
If this theory is adhered to, it
means that ambitious plans to
develop the poor pine lands Of
the Southern States into perma-
nent source of paper supply will
have to be abandoned.
It means, too, that the United
States will continue to import 10
per cent of the paper stocks an
nually consumed in this country.
Paper Source in South
Recently the Chemical Founda-
ton laid before President Roose-
velt q plan to make the United
States self sufficient in the news
print and wood paper industry.
It pointed out that, with the de-
velopment of cheap power in the
South, plus the use Of SlaSm
pine in manufacture of newsprint
and paper base stocks, American
manufacturers and publishers
soon would be independent of for
eign imports.
During the last four years, the
foundation said, imports of wood
paper and paper-base stocks into
the United States have amounted
to an average of over $4,000, 900
a year, 70 per cent of our yearly
consumption.
Experiments Cited
The experiments conducted at
Savannah by DR.. Charles H. Herty,
the foundation pointed out, have
demonstrated that the sunshine
and soil of the Southern States,
on the poorest lands, can produce
this $17O, ,O00, 900 crop, either as a
new crop or as a by-product of
the acres withdrawn from cotton
production.
It was proposed that the NRA,
the AAA, the RFC, or the PWA
undertake to push the project,
either as a governmental under
taking, or by organizing Ameri-
can paper manufacturers into a
private corporation to put up the
necessary capital.
But the Brain Trust" has
turned thumbs down on it, and
for a most remarkable reason
that nothing should be done to
reduce American imports.
Professor Explains
The Foundations plan was
referred by the White House to
the Department Of Agriculture
for analysis and reply. Prof.
Mordecai Ezekiel, economic ad-
wiser to the Secretary Of Agri-
culture, says:
'If we take still further steps
to reduce our imports, the
ability of foreign countries to
buy our cotton and fruits for
export will be correspOndingly
reduced, and in the end we will
merely intensity our farm read
juStment problem"

TIRE COST SEEN
ON THE RISE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27 G.N.S0.
Steady increases in the cost Of
tires, following Six-year period OF
steady decline, was predicted to-
day by W. O'Neil, president Of the
General Tire and Rubber Com
pany, as he explained reasons for
the recent price boost Of 18 per
cent. He said:
81 feel confident tire prices
are permanently on the upward
trend because raw material
prices have risen so rapidly in
the last few monthS-rubber up
400 per cent and cotton fabric
.up 100 per cent - that no
amount of sales volume can
compensate manufacturers for
these increased material costs"
In the wake Of q declining
market which produced tire price
wars and price slashing until
there was no profit for either
dealer or manufacturer" The in
dependent dealer today is looking
upward, he declared.
"The value Of his merchandise
is going up. He owns his stock
and he knows how to sell.
"A car owner no longer can
save money by waiting for the
next price change. The recent
raise will not be the last raise to
be made"

FRANCO-TU URK
PACT NEAR

GENEVA, Nov. q Q.N.SO .
Out of the maze of intrigue and
international realignments in Con-
tinental Europe since the Mar
seille assassinations, another Sc
curity and non-aggression pact.
this time between Turkey and
France-was being prepared to-
day.
Twelfik Ruchdy Bey, Turkish
Foreign Minister, went to Paris to
negotiate the pact, which will be
along the lines Of the treaties
with the Little Entente and the
proposed Franco-RuSSian agree
ment.
Ruchdy Bey was the "go-
between" for Maxim Litvinoff and
Pierre Laval, respectively For.
eign Ministers Of the U.S.R.R. and
France, in their conversations last
week, when the Russo-French
compact was discussed.
Litvinoff and Ruchdy Bey acted
together once more yesterday.
when they jointly protested to
the League Of Nations Secretariat
against the further postponement
of the councils meeting on the
Saar question to December 3.
Marcel Rosenberg, counsellor
of the Soviet Embassy in Paris,
has been designated an undersec.
retary of the League beginning
January /. It is believed he will
be assigned to the political Sec
ton of the Secretariat.

Justice of Humanity

To the Editor of The Times:
I am more than shocked to see
The Washington Times, than
which there is hardly more
liberal or militant agent, allow
such propaganda as that given
by HUMANITY creep into its
columns. Humanity, it will be
recalled, recounted several rea-
sons why expenses for edu.
cational facilities should be
curtailed.
What does Humanity think
this country would be without
our wonderful educational Sys-
tenn? Education has led mil
lions of poverty-stricken per-
sons from the dark recesses OF
ignorance into lands that shine
with new hopes and visions.
Ignorance breeds Squalor,
misery and hardship. Knowl-
edge, and the habits of knowl-
edge acquired in our schools
today promote tolerance be-
tween communities, between the
various races. and the countries
of the world. If we curtail the
expenses of our educational
systems we are leading our
people backwards instead of for
wards. We are depriving the
poor of a God-given right OF
development of the mental
faculties. We are, in short,
harming ourselves.

Says Cops Play
To the Editor OF The Times:
I have just read your letter on
'"The Poor Mans Game" The
author is perfectly right about
the numbers game.
There is no way that betting
on the numbers can be stopped.
Even though the numbers aren't
published, If a man places a
bet, he'll be sure to find out
what number wins.
What do a few pennies mat
ter when a fellow is trying to
win some real money" as a
poor man would describe the
winnings on a number.
I say, too, why don't you
let us alone and go after the
murderers and criminals? The
little fellows who play the
numbers don't hurt anybody.
Major Brown has one big Job
on his hands trying to do away
with the numbers racket. I'd be
willing to bet that two-thirdS
of his force play heavier than
anyone else.
Here's hoping we'll have a
little liberty without infringe
ment of our rights. G. R. M.
Urges Speedy Trials
To the Editor of The Times:
I want to congratulate you for
your expose of the abuse OF the
parole in our city. 1 sincerely
hope you continue your efforts
until the matter is corrected.
While you are at it, l would
suggest that you find out what
disposition was made of the
case of V. S., also Of the men
who held up the cashier of a
store at Fifteenth Street and
New York Avenue Northwest.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick should be con-
graduated upon his resignation.
The cause of his action is the
reason crime continues in this
city. We must have early
trials and when guilt is estab-
lished, penalty exacted in full.
Again wishing you to con-
tinue your efforts G. P. S.
