WASHING GTON, Oct. 25.-It
wouldn't be surprising if British
Ambassador Lord Lothian's return
to London were presently followed
by definite announcement of some
British American agreement of use
of the Singapore naval base by
the U. S. fleet.
Lord Lothian has been the key
man in the hardening of British
policy toward Japan. Understand
ing here is that the foreign office
left the whole question of the re-
opening of the Burma road up to
him. Every indication now is that
the partly concealed negotiations
about Singapore are about ready
to jell.
When this project first was
broached, it was suggested within
the administration that no formal
agreement was needed. After ell
by international custom, warships
of one nation may drop in at a
port of a friendly nation without
any special pre-arrangement. Why
couldn't some U. S Warships simply
drop in at Singapore on a good
will" visit-and forget to leave?
Objection to this was largely po-
litical on the theory that the AM
erican voter wouldn't like it unles,
there was a definite deal which
offered the United States some
thing in return - acknowledged
right to use a base, for instance.
NEW LIGHT ON
HISTORICAL CRISIS
Reports of sharp division with
in the state Department about the
recent sttiffening of the U. S. atti-
tude toward Japan are consider
ably exaggerated 1t is perfectly
true, however, that this govern
ment's willingness tn get tough ir
the Far East is very recent
growth. In that connection, here
is a bit of unwritten history:
When the japanese first went
into Manchuria. in 1881, Henry
Stimson was U. S. secretary OF
state. He wanted to stop the whole
affair by an Anglo American
united 'front.' 1t fell through
supposedly because the British re-
fused to play ball. Yet man who
is in an excellent position to know
what really happened insists that

Annual "CIassic"

Monday nights annual Rotary
Lions softball game, won by the
Lions, 81 to 25, was more of a COM
edy than a softball contest and at
some stages reminder of a football
game.
The sum of $34.05 was taken in,
Expenses amounted to $5.25, leav-
ing balance of $28.8O which will
be spent beautifying the vacant lot
at the northeast corner of East
street and Morley avenue.
Frequent blackouts (someone had
habit OF turning off the lights)
produced much laughter. On one oc-
casion when the lights were turned
on two Rotarians were observed on
top of a Lion player between Sec
ond and third bases.
"Whirlwind' Jeff Jones and j.

additional rental in exchange for

Under the proposal, the engineer

would be expanded to permit sep
aration from the court section; more
adequate quarters would be avail
able for city council chamber.
Chief advantage of the new ar
rangement would be better light

eer's office closer to the public
Heinecke said Jones had agreed to
engage the services of a lighting

Although Jones areed to remodel

have to foot the bill for changes in

This would amount to between $500

John Kubler, Calexico district

flax market during the past two
years and offered farmers a plan
to reduce cost of production to
overcome somewhat lower returns.
Flax farmers to continue to oper-
ate profitably must reduce produc-
tion costs Kubler pointed out, and
declared there were many ways to
take advantage of the valleys re-
sources to attain that end.
Kubler suggested farmers ploW
land to let soil air out from July
until october in order that the
land may soak up nitrogen from
the air. That is a cheaper method

After the airing Kubler suggested
double floating, two floOdings and
planting in damp ground.
