British Observer Calls for Strength

By the Associated Press.
LONDON Sunday, August 25.-
The British press was filled with omi-
nous talk of war today.
The Sunday Observer published an
article by J. L. Garvin demanding that
Parliament be summoned TO approve a
wholesale strengthening of the navy
and air force through special loan.
"A new hour has struck in our his
tory" Garvin wrote. With our whole
mind and resolution we must create a
strength which will either maintain
our peace on equal terms or will turn
the scales as of old against any aSsail-
ant whatever who may make our peace
impossible
Calling the route via Gibraltar,
Malta, Egypt and Alden the lifeline

The article. written by "Scrutator, ;"
observed:
The prospect is one to fill men
of reason and humanity all over the
world with disgust, but not English
men with alarm, still less to defect
any British government from the even
tenor of its duty"
The Rothermere group of papers
continued to blast away at the League
of Nations through an editorial in the
Sunday Dispatch.
The newspaper declared the League
"now proposes to prevent war in
Africa by creating a war much more
terrible that will embroil all Europe.
In the name of sanity, in the name
of civilization, this dangerous ma
chinery for mischief must be
scrapped."

of the traffic through the canal, with
Dutch ships ranking next for total
of 10 per cent.
Known as Early as 1880 BIC.
The idea of a canal in this region
was not original with France. For
centuries before the birth of Christ
there had been a canal xtending from
the Red Sea to the Nile. Sesostris,
legendary Pharoah, is credited by
Aristotle and Pliny with having con-
structed such canal and heiroglypics
at Karnak indicate that this waterway
was known as early as 1880 BIC.
Vestiges of the depression left by this
ancient canal still may be observed,
parts of its course were followed by
Suez Canal engineers in building a
fresh-water canal to connect with the
big channel.
The Pharoah Necho undertook to
build another canal in this section
about 600 BIC, but the project was
abandoned after, according to Herod-
otus, the loss of 10000 men.
Napoleon Ordered Survey.
From the eighth century on various
proposals had been made for a canal
completely across the Isthmus of Suez.
Napolean the First, after a trip to
Egypt, ordered a survey. which proved
unsatisfactory. M. Ferdinand De Les
seps, French engineer, finally launched
the project in 1854. after obtaining
from the viceroy of Egypt an exclusive
concession, He formed a company in
1859 under which land for the canal
was leased for SO years. Persons resid-
ing on the narrow strips of land along
the waterway are considered subjects
of Egypt.
After numerous setbacks, the canal
was opened to traffic November II.
1869 at total cost of $148.500, ,000
For the most part the channel was
cut and dredged through sand and
mud. although in some places rock was
encountered. The depth is SO feet and
two ships may pass abreast.
The canal shortened the distance
from London to Bombay from 1900,
by way Of the Cape, to 6,332 miles

TURKS ARE CAUTIOUS.

ISTANBUL, August PA spokes-
man for the foreign ministry said to-
night relations with Italy were normal
and denied rumors Turkey might take
advantage Of the Ethiopian situation
to rush a settlement Of the Straits
question with Italy.
The cabinet decided to keep in close
touch with its fellow-members of the
Balkan pact, Rumania, Yugoslavia and
Greece, on the o-Ethiopian situa-
ton.
Turkey will abstain from any initia-
tive at Geneva, simply complying with
the attitude of the majority, it was
said, but if the council is divided, these
quarters intimated, Turkey will prob
ably follow the lead Of Soviet Russia.

war for America.
He explored the statement and then
read cablegram from Pope, explain
ing it was not intended as official, but
merely represented his personal views.
Pope repeated also he was not repre-
senting anybody in an official capacity.
Statement Held Unfortunate.
Although seeing no "rebuke" to
Pope in the La Toilette resolution
the Wisconsin Senator also denied
this was the intent-Robinson banged
his desk with his fist for emphasis
and asserted he did not see any ad-
vantage to be gained by any private
citizen or official at this time giving
publicity to the theory that the Sena-
tor expresses.
Such statements we're calculated to
prove harmful" he said, adding
sharply:
eff have correct estimate of pub
lie opinion. sentiment everywhere is
in favor of doing everything possible
to keep this country out Of war, to
maintain the peace of our people.
I'VE want no war" he shouted, as
packed galleries looked on intently.
I'VE want no wealth gained from war
We want peace, and we do not propose
to go to war to settle European poll
cies."
Europe Is Notified.
Expressing the hope that newspa-
pers would give equal prominence to
his statement as they did to Pope's,
Robinson said:
IF any European nation Is pro-
ceeding on the theory that this Gov
| ernment or its resources either of
man power or wealth will contribute
to the adjustment of European con-
troversies other than by peaceful sug-
gestions for action, they are being
r1isied.
Robinson and La Toilette both said
some of the press had given the prof.
ected trip to the Philippines of Vice
President Garner and members of the
Senate and House the same "unfortu-
nate misinterr-etation" of Pope's visit
abroad.
La Toilette, who expects to be a
member of the Philippine party, in
dorsed Robinson's statement and said
he did not intend to "embarrass" or
"rebuke" Pope. He added:
1T is to protest those Senators and
others who travel abroad having their
statements misconstrued SO as to en-
barrass themselves, the Senate and
perhaps this Government itself.

rom Europe, where Great Britain Is
reported rushing ships and planes to
guard the canal.
Under the Suez Canal Convention OF
1888 the neutrality of the canal was
guaranteed by nine signatories, who
agreed that it should always be free
and open, in time of war, in time
of peace, to every vessel OF commerce
or of war, without distinction of flag"
Great Britain, in signing, made res
ervation, however, that this should
apply so long as her colonization Of
Africa was not hampered She ac-
cepted fully all stpulations by the
Anglo French agreement of 1909.
Britain Given Control.
During the World War British mill
tary authorities were granted complete
control and defense of the canal, with
armies and ships of both England and
France joining in protecting the canal
for the use of all allied shipping. The
entire length of the canal was pa
trolled night and day by soldiers and
sailors. Not until 1925 did the armed
camps along the waterway entirely
disappear.
The canal is operated by an inter-
national company dominated by
French interests, although the British
government owns seven -sixteenths of
the shares. The board Of management
consists Of 81 French directors, 10
British and l Dutch. Three of the

Our Ships TO Be Sunk.
When war causes the prices Of
wheat, cotton and other essential COM
modities to skyrocket, our producers
are going to sell. When we send our
ships into war zones with this produce
they will be sunk and our citizens
killed. do not believe public opinion
would permit this to pass unnoticed.
No man or group OF men control the
fighting forces which would sweep the
United States into trouble in case of
a new world war, and no finely phrased
isolationist doctrine will keep us from
becoming involved.
