the government of Juan Sacasa.
Mr.. Kellogg received the Nobel Peace Prize.
He also served for several years as Judge of the
World Court.
Did you know:
That the Kellogg Peace Pact does NOT re-
nounce war? That the nations which signed it
did so with their tongues in their cheeks, know.
ing they were merely substituting the word "war"
with a double-barreled word, "selfdefense"?
Only two documents have ever been printed
giving the details Of the Kellogg Peace Pact. One
is a Government printed copy of the notes ex.
changed between the United States and other
powers ION the subject Of multilateral treaty
for the remuneration Of war" The other is
record OF the testimony of Frank B. Kellogg be-
fore the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
December z and II, 1928.
What Is "Self-Defensc"?
Mr.. Kellogg testified before the committee that
the treaty did not deprive nations of the right
Of SelfdefenSe. The Senators asked him what
he meant by sefdefense. Speaking for the
United States, he said territorial possessions,
Panama, Canal Zone, and anything which came
under any Interpretation we cared to put on the
Monroe Doctrine.
In other words. Mr.. Kellogg inferred we could
send an army to the tip of South America-but
it wouldn't be war, 1t would be selfdefense!
The Senators said: what about the other
nations? Do they get the same privilegesP"
Certainly" said Mr.. Kellogg. These are his
official words. "Nor do I think it is practicable
to do anything else."
Which was exactly what the other nations
wanted.

the workmen he was forced to let go at times,

HUNT FOR CAR
.OF 'GANGSTERS'
PROVES FUTILE
Sees Machine Guns,
Man Reports

After virtually blockading the
entire city for more than an hour
yesterday afternoon in search of
three "gangsters" reported to have
machine guns in their automobile,
police today are wondering if the
objects of their futile search were
not merely business men on a
hunting trip.
The city-wide search started
yesterday when w. A. Washington.
colored, of 1882 Fairmont st.
N. w., rushed into the Fourth pre-
cent and reported to have seen
the machine guns in the rear seat
of a car which had stalled at
Tenth Street and Rhode Island
Avenue Northwest.
HOLDUP RECALLED
Police Immediately linked the
machine with that used by bandits
who staged a holdup Of a $21,00
pay roll in Delaware last week.
Washington, who is worker in
the Treasury garage at Third
Street and independence Avenue
Southwest, reported that the men
stopped him and asked if he could
repair their gas line for them.
REPORTS TO POLICE
When he looked into the car to
get a wrench, the colored man ex-
planned, he saw the machine guns.
After he repaired the car, which
bore New York license plates, the
man reported what he had seen to
the police.
The police department immedi-
ately sent out a warning to all
radio cars to be on the lookout for
the machine and stationed police
on all bridges leading from the
city and searched hundreds of
cars. An hour later it was con-
cluded that the car must have
passed through the city before the
blockade was made, and the po-
lice were called in by Capt. Ira
E. Keck.

many Americans would be willing to SPEND
more than we could RECOVER in 5000 years
Of such trade?

company with ships of Britains royal navy, the
unfortified city Of Marking, China, on March

foreigners. The Chinese demanded the Inter
national Commission of Inquiry investigate the
bombardment, on grounds that it violated inter-
national law and the word of civilized nations.
Their request was pigeonholed and, though the
ninepower treaty had been signed five years
before, it was not invoked at that time.
OF course not! Britain and the United States
were doing the bombarding. Now, however,
Japan pulls similar bombardment and the nine
powers grow moral and call a meeting.
BY the way, the Secretary Of State at that
time was Frank B. Kellogg. He was negotiating
the Kellogg Peace Pact in 1927, believe it or not!
In that same year of 1927 he ordered Marines

I asked Bishop Freeman to keep the diamond
in his safe at the Cathedral, but he said "No,
Evalyn, that is one thing can not do," and he
was very firm about it. I do not know if the
Bishop was afraid of the diamonds curse, but I

ATTORNEYS FIGHT
The diminutive defendant, who

United States District Court today
after the jury had been excused
so the jurist could hear evidence
to determine whether the confes'

Shortly before the noon recess
Justice O'Donoghue told counsel
he was convinced the confession
had been obtained neither by vio-

RIGID RESTRICTIONS
Constitution and Bylaws Will Be
Revised in Program, Board
Tells Convention,
BY the Associated Press.


WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
Va, Nov. 5.-The board of governors
of the Investment Bankers Association
of America announced a program to-
day of dractic revision of its consti-
tuition and bylaws to place rigid re-
strictions upon membership and per-
init more aggressive self-regulation of
the investment business.
The program, which was the work
OF special committee appointed last
May, was announced to the twenty
sixth annual convention of the asso-
citation receiving unanimous approval
at a meeting of the governing board.
The announcement came only two
days after George C. Matthews of the
Securities Exchange Commission had
appealed to the convention to study
means toward effective self-regulation
to lift part of the load from the tax
payers of policing the securities busi-
ness.
The new provisions are designed to
restrict membership in the organiza-
tion, first, Ito investment bankers of
the highest character: second, to ap-
plicants who have adequate expert
ence in the business" and, third, "ade-
quate capital for the requirements of
the business, but in no event shall the
capital be less than s25,00o."

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 5.-As-
serting that the British Empire prefer
ences are disastrous to the foreign
trade of United States lumber" Wal
ter B. Nettleton, president Of the Ma
tlonal Lumber Manufacturers Associa-
ton, today charged that these barriers
had been responsible for largely elini-
mating the West Coast lumber industry
from the worlds largest market for
imported timber products.
Speaking before the National For
eign Trade Convention here on THE
Experience of Lumber With Trade
Agreements" Mr.. Nettleton traced the
succession of British Empire preferen. i.
tlal agreements which have brought
about a constantly declining export
trade for the lumber industry. West
Coast lumber exports to the British
Empire" he said, "have been reduced
from 79 per cent to z per cent while
at the same time British Columbia ex-
ports have increased from 81 per cent
to SO per cent. The protection of our
domestic market has been lowered by
one-half. And during the last six
years the lumber industry has been re-
duced from first to fifth place in the
worlds foreign trade" Calling atten-
tion to the fact that the West Coast
lumber industry is pre-eminently an
export industry. the speaker pointed
out that the shift of British Empire
markets to British Columbia was re-
sponsible for the loss of more than
sl0,000,000 In wages to American work.
men from 1881 to 1884 in the Douglas
fir region alone.
Hoping for relief, United States lum-
bermen were amazed" when the terms
OF the reciprocal trade agreement with
Canada were announced in 1885. Mr..
Nettleton said, but he reminded the
convention that the lumber industry
at that time had stated its intention
to accept this additional difficult re-
sponiibility" in cooperative spirit.
Describing the is trade agreements
already consummated as OF "little
value" to the export trade of United
States lumber. the speaker declared
that the trade agreement with Great
Britain is the goal on which all lumber
interest is focused" Holding recent
address of Secretary of State Hull as
full of promise he referred expressly
to-Mr. Hulls statement that I'VE Sc
lect commodities of which the United
States should be a principal source of
supply for the other country" Said
Mr.. Nettleton. Certainly. the United
States should be principal source of
supply for Great Britain on a parity
with Canada
Asking How can a timber crop be
grown without markets." the speaker
declared the preservation of foreign
trade was necessary If the Government
program for reforestation was to be
carried out, as "one-fourth of this
country's soil area is forest land,
capable of reforestation, natural or
| otherwise" .
