that, in the present state of world
affairs, to do less than is now pro-
posed would lay our country open
to unpredictable hazards" he said,
referring to the naval expansion
program.
THE momentouS question:" he
said, sis whether the doctrine of
force shall become enthroned once
more and bring in its wake, mex
orably, international anarchy and a
relapse into barbarism."
He did not refer to any nation
by name, but his implication with
regard to legal recognition of Aus
trials absorption by Germany and
Japan's expansion in China was
clear when he said:
''The catastrophe developments
of recent years, the startling events
of the past weeks, offer a tragic
demonstration of how quickly the
contagious scourge of treaty-break-
ing and armed violence spreads
from one region to another"
He disclaimed "the slightest in
tention to entertain any such notion
as the use of American armed
forces for policing the world"
He specifically opposed the pro-
pOSal the United States retire from
the Far East.
In the Far East crisis, Hull said,
the United States has consistently
collaborated with other peace-seek-
ing nations"
The triumph of the "seclusionist
viewpoint" he said, would ines
capably carry the whole world back
to the conditions of medieval chaos,
conditions toward which some parts
of both the eastern and the western
worlds are already moving

Mexican Oil Seizures

pRESIDENT CARDENAS of Next
co announced the expropria-
ton of oil properties belonging to
American and British companies
and valued at some $500, 900, 900.
Wells, refineries and tankers were
seized and workers took control of
all company Offices in the repub-
lie. The American and British
employees and their families fled.
For the present the oil industry in
Mexico was paralyzed.
The companies concerned began
legal action attacking the consti-
tutionality of Cardenas' decree, and
it was said would carry the case
to the highest court. Both the
United States and Great Britain
were expected to challenge the
seizures and similar action threat
ened in the case of mines as VIC
lation of treaty obligations.
The action of the Mexican gov
eminent was not entirely unexpect-
ed for it was the elimination of a
long and bitter controversy between
the oil companies and Mexico's
board of labor cancellation and arbi-
tration over $1,000, 600 wage in
crease ordered by the board.

Condemning as infamous" the
committee formerly headed by SUI
preme Court Justice Hugo L. Black
and now directed by Senator Sher-
man Minton, Democrat, of Indiana,
Gannett charged that its renewed
activities are prompted by a desire
to smear and intimidate" his and
other organizations fighting the gov
eminent reorganization bill.
Minton, in a radio debate with
Representative James Wadsworth,
Republican of New York, struck
back at Gannett, declaring that he
directs his propaganda machine
from his sunny villa in Florida"
and that che hasn't any more idea
of saving you and your Constitution
than the Liberty League had" He
cautioned listeners not to be mis-
led by press dispatches on admins
tration activities "since SO per cent
of all the metropolitan newspapers
are opposed to the administration
and do not hesitate to misrepresent
it."
Quick work by administration
leaders saved the reorganization bill
from emasculation in the senate.
Six senators shifted and brought
about the defeat of the Wheeler
amendment requiring congressional
approval, by joint resolution, to
make effective all executive orders

ishing bureaus and independent
agencies.

and Polish warships were cruising
off Memel. So there was nothing for
the Liths to do except give in. Pol
ish troops that had been concentrat-
ed in Wilma paraded in celebration
of the bloodless victory, but in
Warsaw the celebration was dis
torted into a "pogrom" in which
riotous throngs attacked all the Jews
they could find, killing several and
wounding scores. Hundreds of Jew
ish-owned shops were smashed be-
fore the police could restore order.
The mobs were made up largely
of National Democrats, opposed to
the government, who protested that
the settlement with Lithuania was
too lenient. They demanded that
Poland invade and annex Lithu-
ania.
Col. Joseph Beck, Polish foreign
minister, declared that Poland
would guarantee Lithuania's indie
pendence. The Liths, however, were
extremely bitter over the conces-
sions they had been forced to make
to their more powerful neighbor.

The War department announced
that army and navy officers were
about to study plans for an enlist

than two million men under arms
within four months of a declaration
of war. For this the army would
require 1,250,000 recruits and the
navy 100000.

Strange Facts
Curtain Of Fire I
. Stops Radio .

A CURTAIN of fire is one of
4 = natures great electrical mys-
teries. In northern latitudes at
certain times beams and flashes
of dazzling brilliance play across
the sky. Sometimes it is like
giant searchlights from beyond
the rim of the world. The dis
charge of light is SO to 100 miles
above the earth. With it comes
a noise, a low cracking sound like
the rustic of silk, believed to be
made by the aurora borealis.
On January Is, 1888, the people
of London came running from
their houses believing that the
whole city was afire. All over
Europe fire engines rushed to put
out non-existent fires. Even Wind
sor castle was thought to be burn
ing to the ground as the fire de-
partment raced to the scene. On
that night from $50 to $3.50 p. m.
the most brilliant display of
aurora borealis in so years was
seen over a wide area of northern
Europe, extending even to Italy
and Portugal. Between New York
and Europe short-wave radio went
dead.
The cause of natures most
beautiful, mysterious and at times
most terrifying phenomenon is
unknown. Scientists believe the
rays are due to discharges of cleo
tricity in the upper atmosphere,
and are in some unknown way
related to sun spots. Sun spots
are dark spots on the face of the
sun, seen only through tele-
scope. They look like cavities and
from the rim of these cavities rise
whirling flames. Some scientists
believe the sun spots are giant
fiery whirlpools that move across
the face of the sun. They seem
to cause magnetic storms which
in turn disrupt radio communica-
ton and also, some scientists be-
ieve, affect the weather on the
earth.
