THE ALAMANCE GLEANER VOL. LX. GRAHAM, N, C., THURSDAY JAMUARY 3, 1933. NO. 48. JNews Keview of Current Events the World Over Representative Tinkliam's Scathing Attack on Secretary Perkins ? Senator Lewis Warns Against Any More Disarmament Treaties, By EDWARD W. PICKARD ? by Western Newspaper Union. U*iiv/x*vjiLi n. iu<imiaai, me oeard ed and sharp-tongued represent ative from Massachusetts, has revived the controversy over the Leaenip nf ' Secretary, Perkins Nations with an as sertion that the Unit ed States is being slipped into the league through the back door. He says the joint res olution adopted in the last few days of the S e e n t y-third con g r e s s, making the United States a mem ber of the interna tional tabor organiza tion was the first of a contemplated series of moves designed to put the United v States openly into the league, con trary to the wishes of the people and of congress, and Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins was the especial ob ject of his attack. Using such harsh words as "fraud" and "intrigue," Mr. Tlnkham accused Secretary Perkins of employing "contemptible trickery" in advocating the adoption of the resolu tion. Mr. Tlnkham quoted the labor secre tary as saying that the international la bor organization, "is not even now an Integral part of the League of Nations, and membership in the organization does not imply affiliation with the league." He continued : "This statement is the grossest per version of the truth. It is squarely contrary to the facts? facts established by an indelible record, the treaty of Versailles. The statement contained in the letter of the secretary of labor was intended to deceive. The secre tary knfcw. that the congress of the United States was opposed to entry into the League of Nations and would not vote for entry knowingly. Entry was therefore made surreptitiously and fraudulently. "Article 392 of the treaty of Ver sailles states: " The International labor office shall be established at the seat of the League of Nations as part of the or ganization of the league.' "This audacious intrigue to have the United States enter the League of Na tions by way of one of the organs of the league is to be followed by an at tempt to have the United States enter another of its organs, the Permanent Court of International Justice of the League of Nations, this subsequently to be followed by a proposal of full membership in the League of Nations. Thus, the Independence of the United ^ States will be destroyed, the will of the American people thwarted, and the United States inevitably Involved in the next European conflict" SENATOR JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS of Illinois, chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations and a veteran in international con ferences, has set forth a view concerning treaties for disarma ment or reduction of armaments that will meet with the ap proval of many of hl9 fellow citizens, though they are sharply at variance with those of the administration. He evidently is glad the Washington naval pact is dying, owing oenaior to the action of Japan, and he says that in future the United States must, for Its own sake, remain aloof from all such agreements, because they are almost certain to embroil us in war. , Addressing the National Forum In Washington, Senator Lewis declared the recent naval conversations in London succeeded only In designing a "chart of death to men, destruction to nations," and he warned against the renewal of the Washington treaty. "Plain It must be," Senator Lewis pointed out, "that should we enter the deal, and It Is disobeyed by any of 1 lta parties, the United States must be called on by the nations involved to 1 lend ourselves to enforce the compact. This means war upon the United J States by the nations we threaten to force to obedience, or war from the na tions we refuse to aid In the enforce ment To the United States nothing but evil and danger awaits our entrance Into any International contract with foreign nations preparing for war on each other." America wants no war and wants armaments- only for self-defense, the senator said, and America does not recognize the right of any Interna tional conference to tell her what arms she needs for that purpose. "On this right of our own self-de fense America stands sovereign la her guarded isolation, " he informed ether ntaions. "We deny the privilege of any nation to dictate to the United States the qwuulty or quality of pro tection our nation shall adopt." War can come to the United States only through her foreign entangle ments, Senator Lewis explained, and because of the present warlike attitude of the world, America must stand isolated. C PEAKING of war, It is interesting ^ to learn that the senate mission to the Philippines has discovered that those islands "possess the most im portant source of war material under the American flag." Senator Tydings of Maryland sent the word from Manila that there' are In Zambales province deposits of chromite so large that they have attracted the attention of other nations. John W. Haussermasn, dean of the islands' gold mining indus try, told the senators these deposits may soon take their place as one of the most important ore bodies in the world, and he added significantly that chromium is the one war material which the United States does not have in ample quantities within Its borders. These deposits in the Philippines were discovered after the Tydings-McDufBe independence act was drafted. It is easy to see that this news will be of Immense Interest to Japan, which, in its plans for territorial expansion, is ever on the lookout for war material sources. DOPE PICS XI is not optimistic con * cerning world peace. In his Christ mas eve address, delivered according to custom to the cardinals resident in Rome, the Holy Father said that "the clamor of war spreads ever farther," and he urged the world to pray and work for peace. "We see a constant increase in warlike arms," the pope continued. "This is a distracting element In which the spirit seems to have no part. We are on the eve of a day when the heavens resound with the hymns of angels calling for peace on earth. Never lias the chant had more reason for being than today." King George, in a radio address to all parts of the British empire, was a little more cheerful. He adjured his "peoples beyond the seas" to remem ber that they all belonged to one great family. "My desire and hope is that the same spirit of brotherhood may be come ever stronger in its hold and ?vider in its range," the king said. "The world is sitll restless and trou bled. The clouds are lifting, but we have still our own anxieties to meet I im convinced that if we meet them in the spirit of one family we shall over come them, for then private and party Interests will be controlled by care for the whole community." He made a special effort to reach the restless multitudes in India, whose rate now is in the hands of parliament, by assuring them of hii "constant c^re of them." President Roosevelt's brief Christ mas talk was addressed especially to Ihe citizens of America, calling for 'courage and unity," for greater hap piness and the improvement o( human welfare. PROSECUTION and defense attor neys completed their preparation! for the trial of Bruno Hauptmann on the charge of murdering the Lindbergh baby, and tbe little town of Flemlngton. X. J., was a busy place. The names of IS veniremen were drawn for examina tion as Jurors, and tbe sensation o v ex the mailing of a satire on the Lindbergh case to 150 prospective Jurors died down. C. Lloyd Fisher, defense coun sel,. said he would not isk for a new panel Bruno Hauptmann Betty Gow, the nurse woo put um Lindbergh baby to bed the night he iras kidnaped and killed, arrived from Scotland on the liner Aqnltanla and rent at once to the Morrow home In Englewood, X. J., to await her call ax jne of the state's star witnesses. She ieclined to talk to reporter*, bat poaed for cameramen. There was ? report that Miss Gow might remain In thil country and take up hrr former job In the Lindbergh household. She had acted as nurse for Jon, second son born to the Lindberghs, until she re turned to her home In Scotland several months ago. Hauptmann seemed calm as the time for his ordeal approached, and he ate a hearty Christmas dinner. Mrs. Hauptmann, who moyed from the Bronx to Flemlngton to be near her husband, made a radio appeal "to the people of the country to wait until they hear every side of the story be fore they condemn him." She reiterated her belief that Haupt mann had nothing to do with the kid naping of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. She repeated her story that Haupt mann had waited for her at a Bronx bakery where she worked the night of the kidnapping and that he had taken her home. As for the ransom money found In the Hauptmann home and garage, she insisted on the truth of her husband's story that he got the money from Isl dor Fish, who Is dead. Mrs. Haupt mann told parts of her story auild sobs. ONE of the worst American railway wrecks of the year occurred at Dundas, Ont., when a Christmas ex cursion train bound from London, Ont., to Toronto was telescoped by the De trolt-to-Toronto express on the Cana dian National railways line as It stood on a siding. Apparently the express ran through the open switch. Two wooden coaches were demolished, and about fifteen persons were killed. More than a score of others were Injured. A third coach was thrown on end close to the edge of a 150-foot cliff. The alertness and quick thinking of Engineer B. Burreil of the speeding train from Detroit, was credited by railway officials with having averted an even greater tragedy. Seeing no hope of preventing the locomotive from piling into the rear of the special train, Burreil ordered It cut loose from the coaches behind and prevented them from telescoping. SOLDIERS from Great Britain, Italy Sweden and Holland, to the num ber of 3,300, under the command of MaJ. J. E. S. Brind, a British vet Major Brind eran of several ware, marched Into the Saar from north and south with flying colors, and were stationed at stra tegic points throughout the area, prepared to maintain order until after the plebiscite of January .13 which will determine whether the Saar shall again be come a part of Ger many or remain under control of the League of Nations. The arrival of the troops was watched by the league authorities with consider able anxiety for there had been fears that Nazi enthusiasts there might cause trouble. But the Inhabitants of the basin remained quiet, none of them showing either enmity or enthusiasm for the league's armed forces. Under the terms of the treaty of Versailles any person living In the Saar at the time of the signing of the treaty Is eligible, to vote In the plebi scite. and the Nazis of Germany made great efforts to gather as many of their adherents as possible from other lands to which they had migrated. From the United States 352 Saar Ger mans traveled back to their old home aboard the liner Bremen, and were wel comed with feasts, as was another large contingent from South America. PEACE In central Europe wag pro moted by two events. The Jugoslav ian cabinet resigned and a new cabinet was formed witb Bogoljub Yertltcb as premier. As foreign minister be bad conducted the case of his country against Hungary before the League of Nations and accepted the compromise decision, and be Is a close friend of Prince Paul, head of the regency, who la Inclined to a moderate course. The Austrian government refused the extradition to France of Colonel Per chevlcb, Croat exile, who was accused, along with Dr. Ante Pavellch, of Insti gating the assassination of King Alex ander in Marseilles. Italy bad previ ously refused the extradition of Pave llch. It la said In informed quarters that further examination of these two men would have revealed facta that would have endangered peace tn Eu rope. CIL. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH, by his flights across Arctic regions In 1933, has enabled the Department of Agriculture to demonstrate conclusive ly that the spores of plant disease can be borne on remote air currents. With a spore trap of his own devis ing, which he called "the skyhook," Colonel Lindbergh obtained specimens which confirmed the previous theories of government experts that plant dis ease* may be carried even across cod, tlnents by air currents. That was announced by Fred C. Meier, the department expert who In terested Colonel Lindbergh In the work. , They Grew Them in Alaskan Waters HEN the United States coast guard cutter Northland returned the other day to Oakland, Calif., after seven months In Alaskan waters, the wives, sisters and sweethearts of members of the crew had some difficult; In recognizing tbelr men, for all of them wore luxurious beards. The cutter was on Its annual medical cruise among the Eskimos and seemingly carried no razors, though nearly every kind of surgical Instrument was in Its equipment It gave medical and dental aid to 2,000 Eskimos In various ports, and also put ashore a force to help In tbe rehabilitation of Nome after the big fire. Bedtime Story for Children By THORNTON W. BURGESS PETER LEARNS SOMETHING ABOUT SEEP SEEP ?< T TELLO! There's Seep Seep! I IT- haven't seen him since we were together up north, where his home was not far from mine,*' exclaimed Yank Yank the Nuthatch. As he spoke a llrtle brown bird alighted at the foot cf the very next tree. He was Just a trifle bigger than Jenny Wren but not at all like Jenny, for while Jenny's tall usually Is cocked up In the &uclest way. Seep Seep's tall Is never cocked up at alL In fact it bends down, for Seep Seep uses his tall In climbing just as the members ?if the Woodpecker family use theirs. He was dressed In grayish-brown above and graylsh-whlte beneath. Across each wing was a little band of buffy whit? and his bill was curved down Just a little. When be alighted at the foot of that tree. Seep Seep didn't stop an Instant but started up, going round and round it as he climbed and picking out things to eat under the bark. His way of climbing that tree was very like creep ing and I'eter thought that Seep Seep was well named the Brown Creeper. He would have liked to gossip with Seep Seep, but he knew that Seep Seep would waste no time that way. Round and round up the trunk of that tr?e went Seep Seep and, when he reached the top. at once flew down to the bottom of the next tree and with out a pause, started up that He wast ed no time exploring the branches, but kept to the trunk. Once In a while he would cry In a thin little wiry voice. "Seep! Seep!" but never paused to rest or look around. If he bad felt that on blm alone depended the Job qf getting all the Insect eggs and grubs on those trees, he could not bare been more Industrious. "Does he build bis nest In a hole In a tree?" asked I'eTJr of Yank Yank the Nuthatch. "Hello! There'i Seep Seep." Tank Yank shook his head. "No," he replied. "He hunts (or a tree or an old stub with a piece of loose bark hanging to It In behind this he tucks his nest made of twigs, (trips of bark and moss. He's a funny little fellow and I don't know of anyone In all the Great World who more strictly attends to his own business than does Seep Seep the Brown Creeper. He's little bnt he Is mighty useful. Farmer Brown ought to be gla> every time he sees blm. By the way, Peter, hare ? MOTHER'S ? COOK BOOK WINTRY SUGGESTIONS NOW li the season, while citrus fruit* are plentiful, to prepare marmalade*.
