FRENCH CABINET
RATIFIES LIFTING
TRADE BARRIER
LLOYD GEORGE CALLS
BALDWIN GOVERNMENT
■COWARDS’ FOR MOVE
PARIS. June 19 (TP) —The French
cabinet followed in the footstep of
Great Britain today and announced
that it favors the immediate end of
League of Nations sanctions against
Italy.
With Prance and Britain now lined
up against continuing the sanctions,
league officials believed the penalties
will be wiped out at Geneva next
week.
However, in Great Britain the op
position to the Baldwin government
has launched a terrific campaign to
make the cabinet again change its
mind about the effectiveness of sanc
tions. The labor party has issued a
manifesto to the British people call
ing upon them to resist with all their
power the lifting of sanctions. Labor
speakers will stump every town in
Britain to try to arouse the people
before next Tuesday when debate on
foreign affairs is resumed in the
house of commons.
The British press was sharply divid
ed on the momentous shift in Brit
ish foreign policy. The conservative
papers such as the Times and Morn
ing Post declared that the cabinet
had acted wisely.
The opposition newspapers agreed 1
with David Lloyd George in calling
•den’s speech a cowardly surrender
to Premier Mussolini.
The London Daily Mail believed
that the hew British policy sounded
the death knell not only of sanctions
but of bha League of Nations.
League May Follow
GENEVA, June 19 (TP)—The pre
diction that the League of Nations
will hasten to go along with Great
Britain in discarding antlltalian sanc
tions was general in Geneva today.
Most League Nations, an unofficial
survey showed, have been anxious to
drop the sanctions since Italian
forces captured Addis Ababa and
Emperor Halle Selassie fled. While
some of the smaller nations banded
in the league fear that the failure
of the sanctions to check Italy’s cam
paign in east Africa means that the
peace congress is without a weapon
to use in defense of its members, it
is generally agreed that continuation
of the economic penalties against
Rome is useless.
When British Foreign Minister
Eden arrives in Geneva within a
few days to ask withdrawal of the
sanctions, he will be given a sympa
thetic ear by France and a majority
of the other nations who signed up
for the sanctions drive. Eden faced
a storm of ridicule in the house of
commons at London yesterday when
he announced that the sanctions
would be dropped. Liberals and
laborltes cried '‘shame” and called on
him to resign as he addressed the
commons in one of the noisiest ses
sions on record. The session reached
its peak when David Lloyd George, i
liberal leader and former premier,
rose and shouted:
‘The nations of the world trusted
Britain a few months ago. Now they
will never trust this crowd because of
Its cowardly surrender to a ruthless
dictator, Mussolini.”
“There,” cried the red faced Welsh
man, pointing a finger at Premier
Baldwin and his ministers, ‘‘here sit
the cowards.”

than a score of workers, brought into
Kent in an attempt to break a strike

John Doe warrants after a long bat
tle with strikers which brought shot
guns, rifles, pistols and tear gas
grenades into play. Six men were
seriously wounded In the skkmish
and more than a dozen others are
suffering from riot injuries.
The outbreak occurred when a
truckload of non-strikers attempted
to break through the picket lines and
enter the factory grounds. Strikers
maintain the outsiders opened fire
first and swore out the John Doe war
rants on charges of shooting with in
tent to kill.
The non-strikers gained the factory
building and, were beseiged by en
raged pickets who kept up a four
hour gun fight witn those inside.
The shooting died down when Sher
iff E. L. Burr promised to serve the
warrants sworn out by strike lead
ers and, threatened to summon the
national guard unless the pickets laid
down their guns .
As crowds about the Black and
Decker plant swelled steadily w.V
the arrival of w’orkers from other
Kent factories, Sheriff Burr and h‘s
deputies escorted the non-strikers
from the besieged plant and rushed
them to Ravenna.

OVER PAST DEEDS AS
NOOSE TIGHTENS
McALESTER, Okla., June 19 (TP
The federal government claimed the
life today of the first kidnaper to be
convicted under the new Lindbergh
law. The convict, Arthur Gooch, was
sentenced to death for kidnaping two
officers of Paris, Texas, and taking
them into Oklahoma.
Gooch had a long criminal tecord
when he was tried on the federal
charges. His lawyers tried for more
than a year to save him from the
gallows. They argued death was too
heavy a penalty, since the kidnap vic
tims were almost unhurt.
Until the last minute, the kidnaper
believed that Mrs. Franklin Roose
velt would come to his rescue. Pre
vious appeals to the United States
supreme court and to President Roose
velt had failed.
Gooch was led to the gallows this
morning. He walked the 2QO yards
from the prison walls to the gallows
with little show of emotion. He said.
“I wish my life could have turned out
differently—but it didn’t, and it's too
late now.’?

NEW ORK. June 19 (TP)—The
“Do not disturb” sign hangs on the

Hamilton, number one campaigner
for Republican Presidential nominee
Alf Landon, is resting in some out

‘G’ MEN TO PROBE
REIGN OF TERROR
ON COTTON FARMS
ARKANSAS SITE OF PROBE
BY GOVERNMENT INTO
‘TENANT SLAVERY’
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 19 (TP)
—Federal forces are ready to sift re
ports of a reign of terror in the cot
ton-farming region of East Arkansas.
Special Assistant Attorney General
Samule Whitaker has orders from
Washington to question five alleged
victims of Arkansas mob violence,
Attorney General Cummings indicat
ed the investigation will center
around the little town of Earle, in
Crittendon County.
Whitaker has just finished a tw’O
weeks’ survey of living conditions
among the tenant sharecroppers. That
investigation was started by rumors
that wealthy planters were forcing
tenant fanners into virtual slavery,
and using terroristic methods to pre
vent outside interference.
The most recent charges of violence
came from Frank Rawlinson, of Col
umbus, S. C. Rawlinson said he was
flogged when he entered the cotton
country of Arkansas to make a social
survey. A Presbyterian minister, a
23-year-old woman social worker and
two sharecroppers made similar
charges of brutal mistreatment while
studying living conditions.
The famous inventor of the mech
anical cotton picker, John Rust, sent
a message of protest to President
Roosevelt. Rust wrote: “I have heard
of men being beaten’and kiledl in be
half of the Southern Tenant Farmers’
Union. Now that these outlaws have
turned to beating women, I can hold
ihy peace no longer.”

DROUGHT TERROR
BROKEN BY RAIN
SOUTHERN FARMERS OF
FER FERVENT HOPES
FOR MORE DOWNFALL
ATLANTA, June 19 (TP) —Farmers
in four South Atlantic States looked
out on their planted fields today with
renewed hope.
For the past three months, seven
South Atlantic states have been in
the grip of a severe drought. Day by
day, the damage to the crops mounted
in the millions. A brief thunder
shower two weeks ago had little or
no effect on the sun baked soil.
But late last night, thundershowers
and occasional hail struck four of the
seven states. The rains were center
ed in northern Georgia, eastern Tenn
essee, and western and cetral North
and South Carolina. Farmers in
these sections believe that the rains
will help save the remains of their
plantings.
The drought damage has been es
timated as being about 25 per cent of
all the planted crops. Cotton and
truck farming were particularly hard
hit. The damage to the cotton crop
has been estimated as high as 30
per cent of last year’s yield. House
wives in the southern states have
been paying almost double for vege
table greens for over two weeks.

I G. O. P. leaders insist that a third
Presidential candidate would harm
their campaign cause less than the
New Deal's re-election cances. Father
Coughlin’s candidate, according to
the G. O. P. view, would lure only
a few votes from their ranks. How
ever, the Republicans add, a strong
candidate advanced by the radio
priest would make deep inroads into
the Democratic factions which are
none too well pleased with the New

New Deal leader in the senate, has
announced that he will speak for
[ only five minutes on the tax bill.
Other addreses. both for and against
the $800,000,000 measure, probably
will be equally as brief.-

congressional tempo accounted for
several important measures, includ
-Bing the $2,376,000,000 first deficien
cy bill, which contained the $1,425,-
000,000 relief appropriation.
Senate Works Fast
The deficiency measure shot
through the senate in only an hour
and a half. Less time was required
for the senate to pass the Chain
Store bill, which strips chain store
systems of many advantages they
held over independent merchants.
Both measures are now ready for the
president’s - signature—and appear
due to get the White pjcaj’,_as

vote on. the ship subsidy bill. The
new Gussy coal bill also may come
up for a vote in the upper chamber,
although Senator Rush Holt of West
Virginia has threatened a filibuster
if the measure is brought up. Holt
is leader in the fight against the
bill, which was framed by his West
Virginia colleague and arch political
foe, Senator M. M. Neely. The young
senator’s opposition to the measure
drew fire of John L. Ledwis, head of
the United Mine Workers, who
charged Holt with betraying the West
Virginia coal miners who helped
elect him.
