union, Senator Joseph Paul-Boncour declared:
 No Menace In It
 No nation has the right to say that she is menaced by any stipula- tions of this treaty or that she IS the victim of encirclement. You can- not say that you are menaced If you are invited to join the circle"
 Answering the arguments ad- vanced by Hitler to justify his move in the Rhineland, Paul. -Boncour in- sisted that the pact did not violate the Locarno treaty or impair any other agreements. He dwelt on the fact that Germany had been invited to join with France and Russia in the pact.
 Not Frances Fault
 Tt is not Frances fault if Ger many and Poland refused to join" he said. "The treaty was open to all parties"
 Sen. Alexandre Millerand, former President of France, speaking in be- half of the rightists, said he orig inally opposed the pact, but Hit ler's gesture has changed by feel ing about It."
 We want now to provide an eX- ample Of patriotic union and the majority of us will approve this should be behind the government" pact because we feel that all France he said.

Mother Faces Trial Court
 Where Son Was Conuicted

administered a strong sedative and was on hand to watch her in the courtroom.
 Arthur, perpetually grinning youth who killed Phillip Lake and his common law wife, left their 2- year-old son to freeze in back woods clearing by his mother , body, and kidnapped their six-months-old daughter, indulged in @ tantrum after he was convicted, but regained his composure today. His brother, Daniel, 20, awaiting trial, paled when he heard of Arthur's convic- ton but maintained a surly silence.
 Mrs. Bannister is accused of di- recting her sons in crime of al- most incredible sordidness. She or- dered them to exterminate the Lake family, crown prosecutors charge, 50 that she could obtain little Betty Lake. The crown says that she meant to present Betty to her own lover, and possibly to an elderly in- tfinate of her 13-year-old daughter, as their child. She had convinced both men that they were fathers and extorted money from them, but needed an infant to show them to continue the fraud.
 Frances Bannister, IS, sister of Arthur and Daniel, probably will be the star crown witness against her mother and elder brother, as she was against Arthur. She testified that she accompanied her brothers on Q 2l-mile, nocturnal tramp to the Lake home and helped carry Betty home after seeing the Lake cabin burned, with Lakes body in 1t. Lakes common law wife was found nude and beaten to death outside the cabin next morning, with her son frozen beside her. Bet ty was found three days later in the Bannister home.

would have been necessary to pro-
duce the amount Of each item i'm
ported. II it had been produced In
America. rather than by the coolie
or peasant labor OF foreign coun-
tries.
For instance. during 1885. there
were imported into the United
States 1920, 296 bushels Of corn.
according to the United States de-
partment Of commerce. By divid-
ing that total by the American 10
year average yield per acre. it can
be shown that the corn imports
would have required 1874, 900 acres
for their production in this country.
Effect of Pork Imports.
Such estimates of the effect Of
other items of import are equally
revealing. Imports of 5.297, 1886
pounds Of pork, hams and bacon
during 1885 displaced the produc-
ton Of 5000 acres of American
farm land. The 27.438. $40 bushels
Of wheat imported could have
