Protest By

Shib$Loss

London, Aug. 9.-(AP) Great Fri
tain protested directly to insurgcnt
General Francisco Franco today a.
gainst the bombing last Friday of the
British tanker British Corporal off
Algeria.
Italian and French ships were
bombed at the same place and the
captain of the French ship ka.' killed.
Todays protest, lolgcd through
British Ambassador Sir Henry Chill
ton at Hendaye, France, was based
on the presumption that insurgent
planes carried out the attacks, al.
though British officials said they
were not sure. The insurgents have
denied they were responsible.
A similar protest was lodged with
lnsurgent authorities at Paleromo,
Malloras, by British naval officials.
Three ships were known to have
been attacked by mystery" planes in
the Mediterranean within striking dis
lance of government and insurgent
air bases.
European powers divided in placing
responsibility. Great Britain accused

ment Discarded

Washington, Aug. (AP)-The
House Labor Committee formally. re-
commended today enactment of re-
vised version of the wage-hour bill
already approved by the Senate, as
serting it. would greatly strengthen
collective bargaining efforts.
"The bill is intended to aid and not
supplant the efforts of American
workers to improve their own position
by self-organization and collective
bargaining" the committees report
said.
Terming the measure "a modest and
conservative approach" to the objec-
tives outlined by President Roosevelt
in his message to Congress recon-
mending such legislation, the commit
tee said it represented IAN attempt to
begin to meet and not to avoid some
of the most vital problems of Ameri-
can economic life"
Designed to apply only to industries
in interstate commerce and those di-
rectly affecting such commerce, the
bill would empower national labor
standards board to fix minimum
wages not higher than 40 cents an
hour and a work week not shorter
than 40 hours.
The House committee discarded a
previously adopted amendment which
would have permitted establishment Of
minimum wages as high as 20 cents
an hour and a work week as short
as 35 hours in favor of the more
moderate Senate provisions.

The Chinese peace preservation corps

Washington, Aug. 9 (AP)-The Sen
ate Agriculture Committee voted I'M
animously today to report out a gen
eral farm bill within a week after re-
covering of the next session of Con-
gress.
Chairman Smith, South Carolina
Democrat, said the new bill would be
ready for the Senate regardless OF
whether the President called special
session of the Congress or Congress
did not meet until January.
President Roosevelt told a recent
press conference that crop control
legislation should precede any renew
al of commodity credit loans on crops.
Southern congressman had been urg-
ing a IL cent loan on cotton.
Members who conferred later with
the President said crop loans might
be forthcoming if assurance were
given that a general farm bill would
be enacted either at special fall ses-
sion or upon converting at the regu-
lar January session. The President
later told the press, however, that he
had not yet received sufficient assur-
ance of crop control legislation to ex-
tend loans.

Disarmament Treaties

When the Senate passed the $522, ,000,- 900 naval supply bill the other day, the hands of the clock spun backward for something like 21 years. This new naval bill puts us right where we were in 1916, and all that has happened since is simply water over the dam. In 1916 Europe was at war, and informed Americans were be- ginning to suspect that America would not be able to remain at peace forever. President Wilson had told middle vest ern audience that we needed "incompar- ably the most adequate navy in the world" and Congress set to work to SUD- ply it. So, as we drifted through 1916, the greatest naval building bill in American history was put through Congress.
 A little later we got into the war. Some of this work was delayed, and some of it was rushed through ahead of schedule. And when the war ended and we swung into the 192Os, Americans suddenly found themselves on the verge of becom- ing the greatest naval power in the world. The world as it existed in the early '20s had taken all the war it could stomach. A new naval race was on, with England striving to remain ahead of this new American might, and Japan hurrying fe- verishly to catch up. Since no one could forget what the last naval race had led to, the Washington disarmament confer ence was welcomed on all sides.
 Under the Washington treaty, America agreed to throw away 19 completed war ships, and to scrap 13 more that were under construction The giant battle cruisers Lexington and Saratoga were converted into aircraft carriers; the great battleship Washington was lowed out be- yond the Virginia capes and bombed. In all her wars put together, America never sank such mighty ships as she sank be- cause of that treaty.
 Some of us supposed that the mil- lennium was just around the corner. Naval races were thing of the past and disarmament by land would soon follow disarmament by sea. If the lion and the lamb were not actually about to lie down together, they were at least roaming the same field without trouble.
 But the bright promise of those years was never fulfilled. You could find a good many reasons for it, but the chief one probably was that we mistook a symptom for a cause. We thought that armaments were the trouble, when they merely reflected deeper underlying trou- Sles. We left those troubles unsolved, and 90 the plague of armaments is upon us once more.
 Now we are back at 1916 again. We are laying down two battleships, with the prospect of building cozen more in the near future. A new naval race is on. And the lesson ought to be clear; if

Deaf And Dumb Cops

Americans do not think of Rumania as particularly enlightened, but it's capital, Bukarest, has wonderful idea Many of it's cops, especially in the busiest traffic district, are deaf mutes. They are picked deliberately for such service, and are said to get along satisfactorily. And the prac- tice may not be so crazy as it sounds.
 No irate motorist, you see, can start a row with a deaf mute. And no deaf mute can bawl out an important citizen for his dumb driving. So it works nicely for both sides. There may be occasional diff faculties, when such public servitor is asked for information by a motorist But you can't have anything both ways. Be- sides, as Chicago cops demonstrated long ago, traffic officer can say almost any thing with gestures.
 Someone may suggest that, to make this silent system work perfectly there should be more deaf-and-dumb drivers. But then the cops and drivers would probably fight with their fingers, holding up traf- fife while they silently bawled each other out.
