as the only basis for restoration of

1t had been stated that David
Dubinsky, head of one of the sus-

Lewis told the correspondents that
he knew of no change in feeling be-

Disorders in Palestine Are
Dropped by the Arabs

a RABS of Palestine, who had
4 \ been on "strike" for ITS days
in protest against unrestricted i'm
migration of Jews, were persuaded
by the British to call off the strike,
which had been accompanied by
great disorders and the killing of
several hundred persons. The Arab
high committee issued an appeal to
Arabs throughout the country to re-
turn to work quietly, and this COM
mand was obeyed generally. Sir
Arthur Wauchope, British high COM
missioner, was said to have in
formed the British government that
it was now safe for the royal COM
mission of investigation to begin it's
work OF inquiring into the grievances
Of the Arabs.
According to Hebrew newspaper
OF Jerusalem, the Arabs have ar
ranged for backing by Italian Fas-
cists for their aspirations. Also, the
Moslem authority administering Is
lamic church property is reported to
be prepared to sell Catholics a
Christian holy place on Mount Zion.

Pessinism Prevails at
Last League Session

DE Ssh M M and discomfort
marked the final session of the
League Of Nations assembly, the
leaders admitting that little had
been accomplished. Carlos Save
dra Lamas of Argentina, president
OF the assembly, even asked if he
might not raise the question wheth-
er civilization is on the verge of a
final breakup"
The question Of reforming the
league covenant provoked a bitter
controversy on whether nonmember
states should be consulted. Russia
was understood to be anxious par
ticularly to bar German influence
and achieved minor triumph since
no definite action to solicit nonmem-
Der cooperation was taken. A COM
mittee of twenty-eight was named
to study reform proposals.
The assembly approved reports of
its economic and disarmament COM
mittees. The economic report
carried British proposal to create
a comission to study accessibility
OF raw materials. The United States
and other nonmembers would be in
vited to participate. The report of
the disarmament committee APP
proved the reconvening of the world
disarmament conference at an early
date.

Finds Private Debt Load
Is Not Excessive


p ASING its conclusions on a study
~ covering the period from 1900
to 1885, the National Industrial Con.
ference board finds that there is no
evidence to support the theory that
the burden of private debt upon
business is excessive. Statements
that private debt is absorbing
wealth" or is showing a changed
and unfavorable relationship to
wealth, or that the depression was
precipitated by an excessive debt
burden are without factual basis, the
board reported.
Interest charges have not outrun
the capacity to pay them, according
to the boards study, which showed
that the rates Of growth of private
long term debt and of interest
charges from 1900 to 1885 were SINH
lar to those Of national wealth and
national income.
Since 1880 private long term debt
has tended to decline. Only the pub
lie utilities have increased the
amount of their outstanding debt.
But the board points out that no
debt problem exists in the public
utility field as whole and that ex-
pansion Of the electric light and
power utilities has been on a sound
basis, with the industry in a safe
position to meet interest charges.
The steam railroads, taken as q
whole, are neither overcapitalized
nor overburdened with debt, the
board concludes.

printed by the press bureau of the

Vandenberg asked Mr.. Winant

innate use of the franking privilege.
Mr.. Winant replied promptly that,
lest there be any question of the
propriety of the matter, he had
paid the mailing costs. This atti-
tude was warmly commended by
Senator Vandenberg, as it must bs
by all good citizens.

see that this matters especially. The
cinema is a romantic fable, vaguely
based on certain exciting persons in
our national history. The omission
of their faults is part of the ro-

in black and white.
Although any one who accepted the

unacquainted with American history
