May Meet in Brussels

IT OW far President Roosevelt is
IL willing to 60 in the effort to
stop Japan in China is what other
powers, especially Great Britain,
are eager to know. The people of
the United States also would like to
be informed in that matter. The
British statesmen wish America to
take the lead, and also they would
like the suggested conference of the
nine-power treaty signatories to be
held in Washington. This latter sug-
gestion is definitely opposed in our
capital, and so it was believed
Brussels might be selected as the
meeting place. Cities in Switzer-
land also were considered.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who conferred with
Secretary of State Hull, Undersecre-
tary Sumner Welles and Norman
Davis, his rowing ambassador, was
represented as being strongly
averse to taking a solitary lead in
the action to check the Japanese.
Apparently he preferred that the
"quarantining" of nations guilty of
international lawlessness" which
he proposed in his Chicago speech
should be limited to united inter-
national moral stand.
The National Council for Proven
ton of War, representing a part of
the extreme peace sentiment in the
United States, announced that it's
annual meeting had declared for inn
mediate invocation of the neutrality
law which the President has not
seen fit to put in operation. The
council was strongly against boy
colt on Japanese goods, believing
this would only aggravate the stu
alton. .-.,

contemptible' and said those
unions considered themselves now
out of the federation and awaited
any further action by the federation
with complete Indifference.
In the federation convention at
Denver it was taken for granted
that the ten c. I. o. unions would
be finally expelled, and President
Green announced plans for the attack
on the rival organization in several
great fields. The first vigorous blow
will be struck on the Pacific coast
in a drive to organize workers in
the cannery and agricultural field.
The second battle ground will be
among the white collar workers gen.
orally, and an effort to Offset the
c. I. o. maritime groups ION the
Pacific coast was considered.
One of the speakers in Denver
was Senator George L. Berry of
Tennessee. He has kept his press
mems union within the federation,
although he was closely associated
with Lewis in "Labor's Non-Parti-
san league" Berry maintained his
seat on the fence, wishing success
to the federation organization cam
paign, and also to the organizing
efforts of "others."

N ENOUNCING Japan as the ag-
~ gressor in the conflict in China
and accusing Tokyo Of violating
both the nine-power treaty and the
Kellogg pact, the United
States government lined up with the
League of Nations.
Secretary of State Hull issued a
statement to this effect, asserting
that Japan's action in China was
inconsistent with the principles
that should govern the relationships
between nations and was contrary
to the provisions of the two treaties.
It was indicated that the United
States would participate in con-
ference of the powers signatory to
the nine-power pact, which was
called for by the league.
Fifty member nations of the
league voted for the resolution
branding japan as an invader and
treaty violator and warning of more
drastic action if Tokyo does not
mend it's ways. China was assured
of the moral support of these pow
ers, which agreed to take no action
that would weaken China's power of
resistance. Poland and Siam re-
Trained from voting.
The Aga Khan, Indian prince who
is president of the league assem-
bly,, sent messages to the signers of
the nine-power treaty and to Ger
many and Russia, asking them to
convene Immediately.
These events followed closely
upon President Roosevelt's startling
address at the dedication of a boule-
ward bridge in Chicago, which
turned out to be perhaps the most
important speech he ever has made.
Reiterating his determination to
keep America out of war, he said:
"The peace, the freedom, and the
security of 80 per cent of the popu-
lation of the world is being leopard
lied by the remaining 10 per cent
who are threatening a breakdown of
all international order and law"
He continued: "The peace-loving
nations must make a concerted eff
fort in opposition to those violations
of treaties and those ignorings of
humane instincts which today are
creating state of international an
archy from which there is no escape
through mere isolation or neutrality.
We are determined to keep
out of war, yet we cannot insure
ourselves against the disastrous eff
fects of war and the dangers of in
Movement"

More TWAS Opposed

ONE of the bills which President
" Roosevelt wants congress to
push through in the expected special
session is the measure introduced by
Senator Norris creating seven more
TWAS to preserve and develop nat
ural resources throughout the coun-
try. The bill was approved by a
senate subcommittee but publica-
ton of hearings held by the house
committee on rivers and harbors
shows that interested departments
of the government oppose the plan.
In these published hearings the
Department of Agriculture especial
ly excoriated the authority idea,
saying that cit would permit and
seems even to propose duplication
by the conservation authorities of
a large part of the work of the
Department of Agriculture"
The Treasury department objected
to construction, operation, and main
tenance of sewage and industrial
waste disposal plants by federal au-
thorities working independent of
and not subject to health laws of
the respective states"
The Department of Justice "pre-
ferred" not to offer any suggestion.
The Department of Labor reported
"no specialized knowledge" Of food
control and conservation.

MussoIini BaIks

DREMIER MUSSOLINI politely
but definitely refused to take part
with Great Britain and France in a
discussion of the removal of volun-
teers from Spain, unless Germany
also participated. France threat
ened to open the frontier for the
passage of men and munitions for
the loyalists, but decided to await
the approval of the British govern
ment.
Prime Minister Chamberlain and
other ministers fastened to London
for a special cabinet meeting to
consider this serious situation. 1t
was felt that Mussolini was deter
mined to keep his volunteers" in
Spain and would send more men
there if he thought necessary.
Francois insurgent forces pushed
forward in Aragon, and Madrid was

Sick Calls De Luxe.

DAT O'BRIEN, the actor, tells this
one about an Irish cop at the
crossing who waved a car contain
ing three priests to proceed after
the stop signal had gone up and
then, with harsh words, checked an
other driver who sought to follow
along, too.
''But you let that other car with
those three clergymen in it go
through" protested the halted one.
"They was on their way to sick
CALL" stated the officer.
Nov wait minute" said the
citizen. 81 happen to be Catholic
myself and know about those
things. Who ever heard of three
priests going on one sick call?"
For moment only the policeman
hesitated. Then he snapped:

you that knows so much-did you
never hear of solemn high sick
CALI"
French Slickers.
DOLCE are still trying to round
up the slickers who, in one day,
raided twenty-nine banks scattered
all over France. This reminds a
fellow of 1881, when the bank ex-
aminers were coroners simultane-
ously sitting on the mortal remains
of an even larger number of Amer
lean banks, the main difference be-
ing that these French banks were
looted by outside parties.
According to dispatches, this job
was accomplished through fraudu-
lent credentials for strangers pre-
senting forged drafts. But beg
leave to doubt that part, remem-
bering when I turned up at various
outlying points over there with prop
er identifcations and a perfectly
good letter Of credit. What excite
ment then on the part of the cashier
(spade beard) and what deep dis
tress for the president (trellis
whiskers) and what stified means
from the board of directors (assort-
ed beavers) when, finally, they had
to fork over. Why you can wreck
q perfectly good bank here in less
time than it takes to get certified
check for $9.75, less exchange,
cashed in French provincial bank.
But should it develop that any Of
these recently stolen francs were
earmarked for payment to us on ac-
count of that war debt-brethren.
that would indeed be news.

Japan Denies Violations

IN A formal reply to the charges
of treaty violation the Tokyo for
eign office fatty denied responsible
ty for the Sino-Japanese conflict and
asserted that China, not Japan, had
violated the treaties. The anti-Jap-
anese attitude and the mobilizing of
Chinese troops, said the statement,
forced Japan to take military ac-
ton, entirely in self-defense. Japan
disclaimed any desire to annex
parts of Chinese territory, and de-
clared the accusing nations misun-
derstand the situation.

The Leagues New Head.


7 TAKE back all ever said about
the League of Nations being as
futile as a fly swatter in saloon

The league has new president
the Aga Khan, who has the largest
private income on earth because
100000 Mohammedans regard
him as divine and pay for the priv
ilege, often going hungry in order
to do so. And he certainly is quail
fed to head a society dedicated to
peace-he never parted from any
of his wives except with the utmost
harmony.
Well, to celebrate his election, the
Aga Khan gave the most gorgeous
banquet ever staged in Geneva
$500 bottles of champagne and 300
pounds of caviar.
Thus did the league justify it's
right to existence. There were but
few flies in the ointment. Ethiopia's
delegates were either deceased or
missing, the league having drawn
the color line, so to speak, which
was more than Mussolini did when
he wiped out their country last year.
Spain's delegates likewise were abb
sent, being mostly dead or else
fighting one another.
