Anglo-American Agreement
on Naval Limitation
Getting Nearer.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
RAMSAY MAC DONALD, prime min
ister of Great Britain, told the
assembly of the League of Nations in
Geneva that he and . Ambassador
Dawes In their many conversations
concerning naval armament limitation
had reached an accord on seventeen
of the twenty points under considera
tion, and that he hoped to be able
very soon to announce a full settle
ment. But dispatches from Washing
ton and Geneva indicated that the
three points unsettled were vitally
Important and that on these Great
Britain and the United States were
still far apart. They involve cruiser
tonnage and the comparative fighting
values of vessels armed with 6-inch
and 8-inch guns. General Dawes sent
a long communication to the State
department and it was considered at
a White House breakfast attended by
CMvrtnnn ConrotQ FW
than in 1927, were still far above the
tonnage figures favored by President
Hoover and would not give parity for
the United States even if all our fif
teen cruisers are built. The British
insist they must have a large num
ber of small cruisers, outside of the
parity figures, to protect the world’s
sea lanes and protect British ship
ping.
Both Mr. MacDonald in Geneva and
American officials in Washington
were hopeful that the points of dif
ference could be adjusted, and the
prime minister said that as soon as
this was accomplished he would for
mally announce his Intention of visit
ing the United States to confer with
President Hoover and Secretary Stim
son.
Aristide Briand, premier of France,
Invited the chief delegates of the Eu
ropean nations in the league to a
meeting for the purpose of hearing
his plans for a political, economic and
social federation of European pow
ers. He wished the delegates to sub
mit the schenje to their governments
and ask for their suggestions. Briand
made It clear that the proposed fed
eration is not aimed against the in
terests of the United States of Amer
ica. Both Ramsay MacDonald and
Dr. Gustav Stresemann seemed to like
Briand’s plan.
THAT the League of Nations would
adopt the Kellogg pact outlawing
war as its policy was a probability,
made strong by the fact that such a
course was said to be favored by
Great Britain, France, Belgium, Ger
many and Japan. In his opening
speech before the assembly Premier
Briand declared the pact was really
framed in the Ideals of the league;
and, following him, Foreign Minister
Hymans of Belgium advocated a
closer linking of the pact with the
covenant of the league. He held the
former was infinitely stronger than
the covenant because it interdicted
all wars of aggression while the cove
nant of the league left the door open
for war when the council was un
able to reach unanimity as to the
Identity of the aggressor. “The cove
nant is already old,” he said. “The
Kellogg-Briand pact embodies prog
ress.”
ADHERENCE of the United States
to the World Court for Interna
tional Justice came a big step nearer
when delegates of forty countries be
longing to that tribunal unanimously
accepted the Root protocol, which
was later approved by the assembly
of the League of Nations. The United
States government was officially noti
fied of this action.
Foreign minister strese-
mann of Germany and his fellow
delegates to the reparations confer
ence at The Hague reported the re-
suits to the German cabinet and re
ceived the unanimous approval of the
other ministers. The cabinet agreed
to take all necessary measures to
make the German people realize that
The Hague agreement really repre
sents a step forward, and not a de
feat as the German nationalists are
trying to label it.
In his address before the league as
sembly Premier Briand of France de
clared that at the reparations confer
ence he would have been untrue to
peace and concord If he had allowed
“several millions of money” to prevent
France from helping to liquidate the
problems of the great .war. Had he
held back on concessions he would not
have been entitled to be welcomed
back to France. The nations must
be ready to make concessions.
Orders for evacuation of the Rhine
land by the British and Belgian forces
have been issued, and the French are
preparing to get out as soon as they
can conveniently.
VIGOROUS action by the British
brought about a partial cessation
of the hostilities in most parts of
Palestine and the Arabs were begin
ning to realize that England meant to
make good on her pledge to protect
the Jews there. But all around the
Holy Land there was seething revolt
among the Moslems. Floods of propa-
a commission to investigate the race
war, but announced that “no inquiry
is contemplated which might alter the
position of this country in regard to
the mandate or the policy laid down
by the earl of Balfour in the declara
tion of 1917 and embodied in the man
date, of establishing Palestine as a na
tional home for the Jews.”
FOR a few days it seemed likely
that negotiations, conducted in Ber
lin, would bring about an agreement
between Russia and China concerning
the Chinese Eastern railroad and per
haps end the threat of war. But the
plan failed, at least temporarily, and
both nations continued to concentrate
their forces on the Manchurian
frontier. A late dispatch reached
London from Tientsin saying that
3,000 Soviet soldiers had invaded
Sinkiang, Manchuria, and were march
ing on Hi. In the region about Man
choull the Chinese were establishing
their first line of defense, but it was
believed that in case of serious Rus
sian invasion they will fall back on
the passes in the Great Khingan moun
tains, which have been strongly forti
fied. Several thousand Russian troops
were moved two miles across the bor
der in the vicinity of Manchouli, and
there were repeated clashes in that
sector.
Both the United States and Great
Britain have rejected the Chinese de
mand that they surrender their extra
territorial rights in China, but in both
cases the prospect is held out that
such action may be taken later when
the Nationalist government has prog
ressed so far that there will no longer
be need for the foreign courts.
CAUGHT in a terrific storm over the
waste lands of the Southwest, the
big Transcontinental passenger plane,
City of San Francisco, bound from Al
buquerque to Los Angeles, was de
stroyed probably by a lightning bolt
and its five passengers and crew of
three were killed. The dead were Mrs.
J. B. Raymond of Glendale, Calif.; A.
B. McGaffey of Albuquerque, M. N.;
Campbell of Cincinnati, Harris Liver
more of Boston and William H. Beers
of New York, passengers; J. B. Stowe
and A. E. 1 tel, pilots, and C. F. Can
field, courier.
Another aviator killed by lightning
was Maj. John H. Wood, noted speed
pilot and president of the Northern
Airways company. His plane exploded
over the desert south of Needles, Calif.,
and he went down to his death with
its wreckage. His mechanic escaped
with a parachute.
Pilot T. G. Reid, at the Cleveland
air races, set a new record for solo
endurance flying and then presumably
fell asleep, for his plane crashed and
he was Instantly killed. Lady Mary
Heath, who also crashed at Cleveland
and was terribly Injured, was reported
THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA.
as having a chance for recovery.
Jimmy Doolittle, crack flyer of the
army corps, was practicing for stunts
at the Cleveland show when, in a tre
mendous dive, both wings of his plane
crumpled; he went over the side with
his parachute and landed unhurt.
Piloted this time by Capt. Ernst
Lehmann, the Graf Zeppelin made the
return trip to Friedrichshafen with
speed and safety. The huge airship
was welcomed by premiers and other
officials of all the German states and
an immense throng of private citizens;
President von Hindenburg was pre
vented from being present by the death
of his sister. The Zeppelin's round-the
world flight from its home port was
made in 20 days, 4 hours and 13 min
utes, establishing a new record.
After conferences at Akron, Ohio,
Dr. Hugo Eckener said the Goodyear-
Zeppelin and German Zeppelin cor
porations would join in establishing
transoceanic dirigible lines. It will
require from two to four years to
place the ships in operation.
Republicans of the senate
finance committee formally re
ported to the senate their tariff bill,
and the opponents of the measure
spent several days jockeying for the
best position from which to attack it.
The radical Republicans, led by Borah,
determined to try to have tariff re
vision limited to agricultural products,
gress to have unlimited access to se
cret corporation income tax returns
while the tariff bill is pending. The
Democrats through Senator Simmons
made it known they would try to ob
tain the same results by a resolution
directing the finance committee to get
the income tax information from the
treasury.
FOUR hundred officers and men,
picked as the best of the army’s
engineering forces, were ordered by
Secretary of War Good to duty in the
jungles of Central America to survey
the route of the proposed Nicaraguan
canal. Their findings and report will
go far toward determining whether or
not the government will undertake to
build that waterway, the estimated
cost of which is about a billion dol
lars. The survey, which will require
two years, will be supervised by the
interocean canal board appointed by
President Hoover.
CHICAGO mourns the death of two
of her best citizens, Judge Frank
Comerford of the Superior court, and
William E. Dever, former judge and
mayor. Judge Comerford, who was in
the prime of life, was justly regarded
as one of the city’s most valuable jur
ists —courageous, wise, honest and a
determined upholder of the dignity of
the courts. Elected to the Illinois leg
islature when but twenty-six years
old, Comerford was expelled from that
body because of his attacks on cor
rupt members, but he was sent back
by his constituency. Physical disabil
ities kept him out of the army when
war was declared, but he was active
in other ways in his country’s service.
He was elected to the bench in 1926,
and presided in several notable cases.
Mr. Dever, who lived most of his life
in Chicago, was classed as a truly
great citizen. He was a leader of
Democrats for many years and his
record both as judge and as mayor
was excellent.
Frederick F. Proctor, builder of
New York’s first vaudeville theater
and originator of the vaudeville chain,
passed away in Larchmont, N. Y. He
rose from errand boy and circus per
former to the high position in the the
atrical world which he relinquished
last May when he sold his chain of
more than twenty theaters to another
corporation.
MRS. CALVIN COOLIDGE was giv
en the honor of christening the
new light cruiser Northampton Thurs
day, when it was launched at Quincy,
Mass. The name of the 10,000-ton
vessel was selected to honor the for
mer President, whose home is in
Northampton, Mass. He was unable
to be present, however. Secretary
Adams represented the Navy depart
ment, and Mrs. Coolidge was accom
panied by a large delegation of
Northampton citizens.

No Appeal From Verdict
of Chinese Death Squad
Whatever may be said about China
as being backward, at least there is
one modern note struck with more
than visible insistency in the nation’s
capital. Nanking has brought the old
time execution squad thoroughly up to
date. A familiar sight in ancient China
used to be the squad of honor which
percolated through the streets with
drawn execution sword, meting out
summary justice (or injustice in some
cases) upon all who disobeyed the
law. Gilbert and Sullivan used to sing
about the snickersee. But this has
been put away. The execution squad
now carries rifles. It is to be seen
In Nanking—seven men and an officer.
The leading man, as they wend
through the streets in single file, bears
a flag upon which is inscribed in Chi
nese characters a warning to ob
serve the law. There are several such
squads on duty 24 hours a day, and
its word is life or death to offenders.
It supplements the police force, but
its action is far more swift and
deadly.
