British Papers Criticize
Putting OFT Soviet Pact

LONDON, May 20 P).-Reliable
signs today indicated unusual una
nimity of British opinion favoring
a tieup with Soviet Russia as pego-
tiations designed to bring Mo,coW
into the French-British front
shifted to Paris.
Significantly, only one newspaper,
the Daily Express, was cool to
quickest possible action, and it con-
ceded that "the public want an
alliance"
why don't they get on with it?"
appeared to be the popular reaction
to negotiations which now are more
than two months old. On buses, in
shops and on street corners con-
verSation showed that Londoners
were anxious for an agreement with
Red Russia, whose Communism no
longer seemed to cause misgivings.

AMERICA SPENDS

A Wag once remarked that the only reason any of us ever work ed was in order that We might play. Well, there are such trif1ing items as the rent and the grocery bills to keep us reminded of our jobs. But whatever the reason for and however one may have to work to obtain it, most of us will agree that a period of rest and play is a high spot in the life of any individual. And what a gi- gantic business this health and recreational activity has created for scores of industries and or ganizations and for millions of individuals.
 If you are statistically inclin- ed, you can obtain from the rail ways, from the steamship com panies, from the buses and from the airways the exact number of passenger miles" You can check the registrations at the ho- tels and at the resorts. And by approximation you will know about how many of these trav- elers are strictly pleasure seek CTS. You can know how many million lusty football and base ball fans pass though turnstiles.
 Then, too, you can get a fairly close approximation of the vast numbers of dollars spent every year in advertising this great business of recreation. The media advertising volume would be readily obtainable; We predict a Herculean task in arriving at a reasonably accurate total for the enormous volume of travel liter ature. Why this phase of business alone actually staggers the inn agination.
 Yes, you could, if you chose gather together long reans of fig ures to determine fairly accurate ly just to what magnitude this strictly recreational business reached. But We defy you to aproximate the amount of addi- tional business ii creates of a completely miscellaneous and general character nature. After all speaking in a commercial sense-is not a vacation in most any form that of a period of un- usual spending? During such an event, is it not fact that dol lars flow more freely than in per haps any similar period? Think of the myriads If odds and ends in apparel and accessories and

British Lose Submarine And 'Fifty-four Men

LONDON. Nov. 8 (A') - The loss of the British submarine Ok ley by accidental explosion was announced in the House of Com mons by First Lord of the Ad- miralty Winston Churchill but did not disclose the place or date.
 The Oxley was one of Britain's S ocean, going subs completed in 1927 and having a surface dis placement of 1854 tons and nor mai complement of 54 officers and men.
 Lord Churchill declared that three times as many British hunt ing craft are at work now as at the outbreak of the war and "a fairly sound and conservative es innate on" German sub losses is between two and four every week.
 He attributed the loss of the battleship Royal Oak at Scapa Flow to the fact that the naval base defenses were incomplete.
 He estimated that Germany could produce two new ships weekly but added "at any rate, our expectation is we must face one hundred U boats in January less whatever losses may have occurred"
 The Admiralty later announc- ed that four officers and 49 men were lost with the Oxley.

Pension Plans Showed Under Yesterdays Voting

UNDATED, Nov. 8 (H) Pen sion plans combining increased grants to the aged with unortho- dox methods of raising money were rejected yesterday by top heavy majorities in California and Ohio. In other off-year cleo tionS New York voters sanction ed parimutual race betting and gave Tammdny control of county jobs while Kentucky chose a Democratic governor.
 None of the contests held were of nationwide political interest.
 Ohio ballots showed under the pension proposal advocated by Herbert Bigelow, retired Cincin- nati clergyman, which assured an income of fifty dollars month ly to those past SO. It was de- feated by a margin of more than three to one. California returns buried the Ham and Eggs pen sion plan by tremendous mar gin, which would have paid un- employed past the age of fifty np to thirty dollars a week in scrip. Los Angeles the birth place of the pension idea, reject ed it almost two to one.
 California pension leaders said they would start a recall move ment against Governor Culbert Olson who fought the plan. They contended he was elected by the Ham and Eggers.
 Governor Keen Johnson, Dem ocrat was reelected in Kentucky over circuit judge King Swope, Republican.
