picts the zeal with which this coun-
try entered the conflict.
But the symbolism of the memorial
is even more profound. Something
deeper than chivalry is portrayed. 1t
is the spontaneous response of the
nations conscience. The very soul
OF the nation is here revealed.
Links Peace and Freedom.
Surmounting the arch, through
which the armed forces of the ma
tlon are pressing forward, are the
figures of Peace and Freedom. To
win peace and to secure freedom,
Canada's sons and daughters en-
rolled for service during the great
war. For the cause of peace and
freedom 10000 Canadians gave their
lives and a still larger number suf-
fered impairment of body and mind.
This sacrifice the national memorial
holds in remembrance for our own
and succeeding generations.
This memorial however, does
more than commemorate a great
event in the past 1t has a mes
sage for all generations and for all
countries-the message which called
for Canada's response. Not by
chance both the crowning figures
of Peace and Freedom appear side
by side. Peace and freedom cannot
long be separated. 1t is we'll that
we have, in one of the world capi-
tails, a visible reminder of so great
a truth. Without freedom there
can be no enduring peace, and with
out peace no enduring freedom.

Hoover Denies
Seeking Republican
Nomination in 1910
Coils Upon Indiono
Editors for United Front
Against New Deal
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WARSAW, Ind. May 22.-Former
President Herbert Hoover, here for
an "of the record" conference with
approximately 100 Indiana Repub-
Hcan editors yesterday, denied that
he is seeking the 1910 Republican
presidential nomination or is ad-
vancing the cause of any particular
candidate or group.
Mr.. Hoover and the editors came
here for an "of the record" confer
ence at the invitation of William j.
Gross, editorial editor of the Fort
Wayne News-Sentinel.
Mr.. Hoover was said to have
made it plain he is not seeking the
G. o. P. presidential nomination in
1910, is not advancing the cause of
any candidate or group and that
he rather resented being questioned
so frequently about whether he is
a candidate.
He was understood to have de-
plored the growth of the Townsend
old age pension plan and to have
termed it "a tragedy" that its fol-
lowers are being misled and de-
luded."
Mr.. Hoover called on the editors
to form a united front against the
New Deal in 1910 and defeat it for
the good of the country" He did
not discuss a possible third .erm
for President Roosevelt.
Denouncing war mongers, he said
he believed war is by no means in
evitable and that in the last analy-
sis, the question of American par
ticipation would rest with the Amer
lean people.
Republican political leaders, other
than editors, were conspicuous by
their absence.
Admission to the conference was
by ticket only and husky Fort
Wayne police officers in plain
clothes land Warsaw police stood
guard to prevent any gate crashing.
Mr.. Hoover came here from La
grange, ILL.,, where he held a similar
parley with Illinois editors Friday.
Accompanied by Lawrence Richey,
he left for New York Immediately
after the conference.

War.
1t is almost a quarter of a cen.
tury since the beginning of the
Great War. Four years earlier my
father had succeeded to the throne
For many, the memories of the war
will always have an immediate as
sociation with this reign. 1t has
been given to me today to recall
Canada's part in the great conflict.
Fortunately, my task is already
largely performed, for sin the beau
tiful work of art which I have just
unveiled vivid and enduring ex-
preston has been given to the spirit
of Canada.
Many Memorials to Dead.
The time and the place of today's
ceremony are not without signifi-
canoe. I am not surprised that it
has taken many years to bring this
memorial into being, and to give it
this appropriate setting. On the
battlelelds of Europe, and through
out the Dominion there are many
memorials to Canada's honored dead
Today, in her own capital, Canada
dedicates her national memorial.

the loan of Mr.. Allen for this public
service was highly complimentary
to Mr.. Allen and indicated clearly
the Presidents regard for his abii-
tty as an executive.
Mr.. Allen will put aside his IN
Burance work to shoulder this Dis
trict burden again at a great per-
sonal sacrifice, but as he expressed
1t in his acceptance note to the
President, he is only too happy to
do this and be liable to serve the
President and the people of Wash
ington.
George Allen will serve as the
liaison man between the White
House. the District Commissioners
and Congress during reorganization.
He is known to have many friends
on Capitol Hill and has the reputa-
ton of generally getting what he
goes after. The President was rep
resented today as feeling more could
be accomplished in reorganizing the
District along constructive lines by
having Allen shoulder this burden.
When Mr.. Allen retired from
the commissionership he continued
on as relief administrator and ad-
ministrator for public works in the
District without pay. He will con-
tinue these activities on his return
to the District Building.
Mr.. Allen probably has the dis
tinction of being the first man to be
reappointed District Commissioner
after leaving Office. At the time
his retirement from Office was being
discussed last summer, and he had
asked the President to accept his
resignation, the President urged him
to stay on at the District Building
even for limited period, and pre-
dicted that he would urge him to
return to the job later on.
Mr.. Allen, who is only As years
old, was first appointed commits
sioner in 1888, and was reappointed
when his term expired. He is ma
tive of Mississippi and received a
law degree at Cumberland Univer-
sity in Tennessee. He was commits
stoned first lieutenant during the
World War and then had a success

fore entering public service.

Soviet Alliance Plan
Reported Prepared by
Halifax for Cabinet
Three-Point Proposal
Is Expected to Be
Offered This Week
p the Associated Press.

=. the Associated Press.
GENEVA, May 22.-British For
eign Secretary Viscount Halifax was
reported today to have decided to
submit to London plan for three
point alliance among Britain, France
and Soviet Russia as the only means
of lining up Russia with the British
French coalition.
Informed sources said Lord Halifax
would ask the British cabinet on
Wednesday-without personal COM
ment-to decide whether to accept
an alliance drawn along these lines,
the minimum provisions acceptable
to Moscow:
/. The three powers to come to
each others aid automatically if any
one of the three were attacked di-
rectly.
g. If any etate guaranteed by the
signatory peWers were attacked and
asked help the three signatories to
give immediate aid.
3. If any signatory considered an
act of aggression against a state not
guaranteed as affecting its inter-
ests there should be tri-power con-
eultations to decide if aid would be
given and what form it would take.
The plan may include separate re-
gional agreements. The first point
would cover Russia's demands, the
second would take care of Turkey,
Rumania, Poland and Greece, and
the third would cover the unguaran-
teed Balkan and Baltic states.
Both British and Russian official
sources said fatty that no agree
ment had been reached on the tri
power alliance, but that the next
move was up to. the British cabinet
It was believed in Geneva Britain
was leaning toward acceptance of
this or a similar formula.
The swing in the British stand was
said to have resulted from discus
sions between Lord Halifax and Ivan
Maisky, Soviet Ambassador to Lon
don, who we're here as their gov
ernments' representative for the
105th session of the League of Ma
tions' Council, starting today
Thorny problems arising from the
dissolution of Czecho-S -Slovakia and
Italy's absorption of Albania also
arose at the start of the council
meeting.
First, Maisky, presiding at the
council session as representative of
Soviet Russia, and w. J. Jordan,
New Zealand's delegate, asked that
the League legal experts decide for
mally whether or not the League
could consider as official a letter
from Eduard Benes, who resigned as
President of Czecho-S -Slovakia.
Delegates battled for almost an
hour also over what should be done
about Albania.
The new Albanian government an
nounced the states resignation from
the League while exiled King Zog, in
a formal message, declared he still
was King.
The council finally decided to pass
the question and responsibility for
decision on to the next assembly
meeting in September.
The third surprise was the an
nouncement of Lord Halifax that
he would make a statement in a
public meeting concerning Britain's
mandate over Palestine.

on the wording of the signs, but
planned to appeal on other grounds.
Although ready for the Govern

books, Mr.. Taggart was overruled

The Treasury is expected to order

Minister here informed the depart

there is a fatal error in the penalty
clause, and, anyway, the Commits
sioners did not have power to make
traffic regulations because they are
usurping the powers of Congress.
After being overruled on these two
points by Judge John P. Mcmahon,
Mr.. Taggart also noted an exception
to the courts ruling on the sign
wording contention by shifting his
argument to the assertion that the
act of Congress says nothing about
holders of official permits" al
though the regulation now IN erect
does. The court overruled him on
this point, too, and the defendant
again noted an exception.
Judge Mcmahon declared that ne
would have to pass final Judgment
before the defendant could appeal,
so Mr.. Taggart was fined 50 on each
of the three old tickets and 81 on
the new ticket. The court set ap-
peal bond at 500 and kept the
Judgment in reservation until Mr..
Taggart could arrange for either q
bond by surety or else post 500 IN
cash.
The young student had already
arranged to get the cash money and
said he would be back at the court
within two hours with 1t.
