For every dollar Key West
spends now she will get back at
least five dollars every year if
the aquarium is, placed right and
in a place, easily aeessibls, said
Frank Delaney, of William Curry's
Sons. The right place declared
MIR. Delaney is the properly al
ready owned by the eity and ex-
tending from FrCnt street at the
intersection of Simonton to the
water front. The aquarium, Mr..
Delaney holds, is to be built pri-
mariIy for the financial benefits
which will accrue to the city of
Key West, therefore the matter
of location should be considered
from every standpoint for the
amount of advertising the city will
get hinges largely on the loca-
ton of the structure. For the city
to get maximum of advertising
it should be located far enough
from the railroad station to cause
tourists to see the city, said Mr..
Delaney. On the other hand he
feels it should be not so far away
as to materially reduce the NUM-
Der Of passengers through here
who will visit it. y

Prosecutor Discovers Exc.

~ the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, August 21.-Andrei vi
shinsky. chief Soviet Union prosecutor.
has just discovered that many Russian
peasants were executed nve years ago
because Of a mistake by "Trotskyist
enemies OF the people"
The prosecutor condemned wholesale
execution Of peasants under 4 decree
Of August 7, 1882. for stealing grain
from state farms. "Trotskyist enemies"
h the department Of justice at that
time, he said, applied the larceny of
state property law against the people"
instead OF against the Kulaks, or rich
peasants, for whom it was intended
Figures on the number Of persons
convicted and shot under the law
never have been published, but they
were believed to run into the hum
dreds.
VEhinsky denounced those who
"sentenced people to death for missing
atalks OF grain in the cutting" and
who. for example, sent to trial a COL
lective farm woman with a large FAM
lily for stealing S pounds of vege-
ables."
He particularly attacked one Pachu-
kanitch. former director OF the 1nsti-
tute Of Soviet Law. for severe interpre-
tation OF the decree. which provided
capital punishment for stealing from
collective farms because they were held
10 be state property.

If this were not possible, or not

to wait to March to get the tangible

HOLY LAND TO BE SPLIT INTO
 THREE STATES
British Proposals Announc- ed Disorders Will N
 Cause Intervention

LONDON, July 10.-With warning that any serious disorder will call for military intervention, the Royal Commission has published calling for the division of the Holy Land, setting up Jewish, Arab and mandated territories or States.
 The Jewish state will comprise the Upper and Lower Galillee Val ley; the Esdraelon coastal plain from Raselinakura in the north to Beertuvia in the south; the great CT part of the Belsan area, and the towns of Haifa, Safad, Acre and Tiberias.
 British Area
 The British area will include Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Naza- reth as well as corridor of either side of the Jerusalem-Jaffa road by which Arabs would have access to. the port of Jaffa.
 The remainder of the country will constitute an Arab state to be jonned to Tranajordan, a British Arab nation to the west.
 The new Jewish state will control it's own immigration, it will have an area about one-third the size of Wales and arrangements will be made to transfer the present Arab to the adjoining Arab state.
 Other Proposals
 Some 25O,OO0 Arabs live within the of the proposed Jewish state, and there are many Arabs in the four cities which would re- main under British mandate.
 The Arabs in the mandated area will not be required to assume Jewish citizenship as long as Brit ish control exists.
 Great Britain win propose trea- ties with Arab and Jewish organ nations to establish the independ- ence of the two states. She would make grant of s1O,00o,oo0 to the Arab state, plus an additional con- of unspecified amount toward the cost of transporting the

U. s. GOLD TO BE BOUGHT BY
 CHINA NATION
Substantial Amount to Be Purchased - Agree
 ment Announced

WASHINGTON, July 10.--Henry Morgenthau. Secretary of Treasury. and Dr. H. H. Kung, Chinese Fin ance Minister. announce conclusion of an agreement under which China will buy a substantial amount of this country's gold.
 In a joint statement the two fis- cal heads of their governments, said the United States would buy silver from China in addition to that al- ready being acquired under the ori- ginal Chinese silver agreement made in May
 How much gold and silver will be bought is not disclosed.
 The purpose of the agreement is to assist in stabilizing the currency relationships and augment the gold reserve of the Chinese Central bank.
 Kung said the gold acquired from the United States will be left on deposit in this country and ex- plained 1t would be used as a re- serve behind the Chinese currency, regardless of where 1t is stored.
 Secretary Morgenthau said the gold sold would come from the Treasury's inactive gold account which was started last December. This account now contains about one billion four hundred and forty four million dollars in the yellow metal.

 From Business
Charles Brewer, Now 76, to Spend Rest of His
 Life in Playing

POINT BARROW, Alaska, July O-The Arctics oldtimer, Charles D. Brewer, now 76, said he will re- tire after 52 years in the north and spend the rest of his life in play.
 Brewer came north to investi- gate coal deposits and saw the great possibilities of great trading ven- ture. He returned to the States and bought an outfit and in 1886 he established the first whaling and trading post in white settlements north of St. Michael.
 Brewer introduced firearms to the Eskimos and took an active part in most of the polar expeditions.
 Brewer lost several fortunes in the whaling business and went on the bum" when women stopped wearing corsets and automobiles eli- minated the whalebone buggy whip.
 Brewers only regret is that civili- zation is crowding and there is no further north" refuge.
