NO. 50. ^^ News Review of Current Events the World Over United States Warns Japan It Is Violating the Nine-Power Treaty?President Prods Congress ?* I on Relief Measures. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ~ fAwn* Has been formally notiheu J that in the opinion of the Ameri can government she is violating the nine-power treaty by her actions in See'y Stimjon iiinut- IIUI IU. jiii* unit ed States does not recognize as legal Ja pan's occupation of the country. China and Japan are both named that Washing ton will not recognize any agreement entered into by them which ?violates the open-door pact or the Kellogg anti-war treaty. These statements were forwarded in luenucai notes ro loayo ana Lansing by Secretary of State Stimson, who Immediately thereafter called in the diplomatic representatives of the sig natories to the nine-power pact and told them what he had done. It was expected that Great Britain and some of the other powers would follow the American example. Mr. Stimson de clined to say what could or would be done if Japan persists in violations of the treaty. The nine-power pact calls for no other action than "full and frank communication between tlse contracting powers concerned" in case of an emergency. The Kellogg treaty calls for no military or diplomatic steps. The Japanese forces in Manchuria moved on southward from Chinchow and occupied Shanhalkwan, the gate way to China, situated where the Great Wall reaches the coast. Their garri son in Tientsin was heavily increased and a "grand review" was held there. Earlier in the week the Washington administration was aroused by an at tack made on American Consul Culver B. Chamberlain by Japanese soldiers In Mukden. Formal protest brought an apology from the Japanese ambas sador in Washington but Mr Stimson let him know that the incident would not be considered closed until the of fenders had been adequately punished. For this affair, as for all its actions in Manchuria, the Japanese govern ment sought to put forward excuses and explanations which In most cases appear to be ready made to fit the circumstances. On Friday a bomb- was hurled In Tokyo by a young Corean in an effort to Assassinate Emperor Hirohito. It exploded near the carriage preceding that occupied by the ruler, and no one was injured. WITQ President Hoover appeal ing to congress for speedy and nonpartisan action on the relief meas ures he has recommended, the Demo erais oegan 10 pusn forward the first of their party bills of major importance. This is a tariff bill not designed to alter existing rates but to deprive the Chief Ex ecutive of his control over the flexible pro visions of the present act. It also calls on , the President to sum mon an International conference for the re J. W. Collier auction or tarut nues. This measure, which was introduced by Representative James W. Collier of Mississippi, Democratic chairman of "the house ways and means commit tee, had the approval of the congres sional Democratic Joint policy com mittee. It would take away the pow er now en* by^dre^-Prefiiilefit to accept or reject, as he alone sees fit, the recommendations made by the tariff commission, under the flexible provisions of the Smoot-Hnwley act. It would frtve congress the final right to determine whether or not the com mission's findings Justify a chajige in rnt?s. Supported by all the Democrats and probably some of the Independent Re publicans, this bill, It was admitted, had a good chance to get through both houses but not with a sufficient mar gin to pass it over the presidential veto that might be expected. R. HOOVER'S plea for quick nc tion on relief-bills was made In i a special message. The measures for I which be spoke especially Included j the bill already passed by the house I to Increase the capitalization of the federal land hank system by a sura between $100,000,(XJ0 and $125,000,000; j the bill to create a federally financed $500,000,000 "reconstruction finance corporation"; the bill to create a -4iftn dfseount system capftKT" ized by the government ut a minimum of $150,000,000; and a bill to liberal ize the rediscount provisions of the federal reserve system. The President hlso urged a plan to release the assets of closed banks, a revisions of the transportation act with a view to strengthening the val ue of railroad bonds, and a revision of the banking laws, the better to protect depositors. Senate and house leaders of both parties promised to aid the President's proposals. The senate started relief affairs In Its own way by passing Senator Capper's resolution authoriz ing the distribution to the needy of 40,000,000 bushels of stabilization wheat held by the farm board, through the administration of the American Red Cross and other organizations. The farm board Is to be credited with the market price of the wheat at the time of the transaction. GREAT disturbance In the French government was caused by the death of Audre Maginot, minister of war, and it, appeared certain there would be changes in the cabinet. Some observers expected Briand would be forced out and. that Tardieu would succeed him as foreign minister. Magi not was responsible for the govern ment's strong military attitude and originated the plan for a great chain of fortresses along the eastern border. COULD William Jennings Bryan have returned to earth and been present In the senate chamber the other day he would have been Im mensely gratified, for the old "16 to i" Is sue which nearly car ried him Into the White House years ago was revived by Senator Burton K. Wheeler. That Dem ocrat from Montana Introduced a hill pro viding for the free coinage of silver on the basis of 18 ounces to 1 of gold, which was exactly what Mr. Sen. Wheeler uryun suugui so iuug iu unug u?vu, "This legislation would do more than all suggestions heretofore com bined towards reviving, encouraging, vitalizing and resuscitating business In this country and throughout the world," Wheeler saldi "Contentment, happiness and lucra tive occupation would be substituted for discontentment, despair, with their Inevitable resultant tragedies to fol low." SENATOR BORAH sometimes dis regards utterly the wrath of bis colleagues, and be did this when he Introduced three bills designed to ef fect economies In government expend itures. The first of these measures would reduce the salaries of the fed eral farm board members from $12, 000 to $9,600 a year. It would furth er place a $15,000 maximum on any annual salary connected *ith the board, a provision aimed at the counsel who now receives $20,000. The second bill strikes at the dearly beldved twenty cent mileage preroga tive of congressional and certain oth er governmental officials.' The third bill cuts the salary of the Vice President from $15,000 a year to $10,000; and does the same thing for the members of the President's cab inet. It also rednces the $10,000 per annum now paid to senators and rep resentatives to $8,000. It was stntcl-afc. Xhe-.WhUa Hn.ice that President Hoover did not be lieve this federal salary cut move ment would come close to passage Id I congTess and that If It were seriously I considered he would oppose It. JOHN J. RASKOB, chairman of the Democratic national committee, fearing a spilt between the wet and dry ntn~s of the party, backed down a Pit troui his dripping wet-attitude. He made public a tetter he sent to members of the national committee recommending the adoption of a home rule plank by the coming national convention. He advocates the sub mission of an amendment to the Eighteenth amendment which would give control of the liquor traffic to each Individual state. Mr. Raskob also asked that the re sult of his questionnaire to contrib utors to the last national campaign be referred to the convention. More than 25,000 replies to the question naires were received and of these 93 per cent favored the resubmission of the Eighteenth amendment to the peo ple. Seyenty-nlne per cent were for outright repeul of prohibition. DEMOCRATS and wets both re joiced ever the result of the election In New Hampshire to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Rep resentative El etcher Hale, dry Repub lican. In a normally Republican dis trict William N. Rogers, former con gressman, who Is a wet Democrat, was victorious over former Gov. John Bartlett by about 3,000 votes.

MAHATMA GANDIII Is in prison at Poona, many other leaders of the Indian Nationalists are under arrest and troops are on their way from Eng land to reinforce those in India; but it is evident the British government is going to have a terribly hard time sup pressing the revolt of the natives.

Oindhl told his followers that "the boycott is the weapon that will bring I England to her knees." He continued to urge that they indulge in no vio lence, but in this he is not being | obeyed by all the Nationalists. | ^IIARLES G. DAWES, ambassador i ' to Great Britain, on coming home | from London the other day took occa [ sion to deny forcibly the rumor that he was a possible can didate for the Repub lican nomination for President, a sort of last hope of those who do not favor the re nomination of Mr. Hoover, Gen. Dawes said he was in Wash ington solely for the purpose of consulting with the ?President concerning the course 1 to be followed by the American delegation C. G. Dawes to the coming disarmament conference, of which delegation he is to be the head. After General Dawes and the other American delegates had breakfast with President Hoover. It was announced at the White House that the United States does not Intend to play a lend ing role at the conference. Having cut the American military establishment to -(he bone4*?tbe-r name,jQf?^Qn.P_mj^no-_ further cuts along this line should be expected, this administration spokes man said. It was also pointed out tli#t as the United States now raDked fif teenth among the nations In military power, there was little likelihood that this country would be asked to make any real cuts. NOT only Chicago but mankind Is much the poorer for the death of Juiius Rosenwald. philanthropist and capitalist, who passed away after two years of Illness. He had made great sums of money In merchandising and devoted most of his fortune to bene factions designed to encourage thrift and to eradicate racial and religious prejudice. REVOLUTION In Portugal was said to have been frustrated by the arrest In Oporto of 200 persons and the leisure of quantities of bomb* rifles and pistols.

BURGESS TTARDLY bad Peter Rabbit loft ?1* Whltefoot the Woodmouse when he discovered some new tracks'In the snow, and right away he was ail curiosity. "Now whose can these be, 1 won der?" thought he. They were quite different from the tiny tracks of Whltefoot. In the first place they were so much larger. Then, too, they were quite far apart in little groups of four, two little round ones and two tjuite long ones. "Of course," said Peter to himself, "the little ones are the prints of front feet, and the long ones are the prints of hind feet. They are just a little like my own prints, only not so big. I guess I'll follow tbera and see where they lead to." So Peter started off llpperty-llp perty-llp, for these tracks were very easy to follow. He had followed them quite a distance without discov ering anybody when he happened to look back at his own tracks. Then he stopped abruptly and sat up. First he looked at his own tracks and then he looked at the other tracks, and a very foolish look crept over Ids face. He had noticed what he had quite forgot ten and this* was that In hopping he puts his hind feet down in front of his fore feet so that anyone who didn't know that would ^hirlk from his tracks that he was going In Just tlie opposite direction from what lie was. He looked a little closer at the tracks he had beea following and now he could see the marks of toenails. Who ever had made those tracks did just as he did, put the hind feet down in front of the forefeet, and here he had been following them in the wrong di rection. No wonder he didn't catch up with any one. My, how foolish Peter did feel! He looked this way and that way to make sure that no one had seen what he had been do Ing, and then he turned about and started back the way he had come as fast as he could go. When he reached the place where he had first begun to. follow the tracks he kept right on. Presently he came to a ,place where some one had dug down through the snow. Right beside the little hole was an empty nutshell. Peter stopped and right away he lost all Interest. "Pooht" he exclaimed, "I'm not going to waste iny time fol lowing those tracks any farther. They were made by Happy Jack Squirrel, and he's at home In bed now. Funny I didn't tliftok of him before. Next time I see his tracks I'll know them so perhaps ray tlmp hasn't been wholly wasted]" l f With this Peter once more went looking for tracks, and lie didn't have far to look. This time they were big I round tracks in a single row. Peter took one good look at them and that | wus enough. "Reddy Fox!" he exclaimed under | his breath. "This i9 no place Tor me'I If be fs about. There Is one good thing, and that Is they head away from where I have been. I hope he ! won't take It into his head to come over this way." Making the longest Jumps he knew how, Peter hurried off to another part of the Green Forest, and there presently be forgot all about Reddy Fox In his Interest In another set of tracks. These were In a double row, and It was very plain 'to Peter that whoever made them was in no great hurry. He followed them/ and pres ently came to an old stump with a hole under it The track led straight down into that hole and none came out. Peter grinned. "So tills Is where Jimmy Skunk is spending the winter," said he. "I've wondered a good many times where Jimmy's winter home could be, and now I know. This enow is certainly Japanese Jonah and the Whale TI1IS Japanese Jonah was not actually swallowed by the whale because he and his fellow-whalers had made the big fellow secure long before they got wlthlQ reach of his Jaws. The whaling industry is one of the foremost means of livelihood of the northern Japanese. The gigantic mammal In whose mouth this whaler Is standing is of the 'MwnsH or beef whale species. Its length varies from GO to 90 feet and Its weight from 10 to 24 tons. It Is worth about 11,500 and the meat Is regarded as a great delicacy by the natives. vv ' * ?-yi ooooooooooo-oooooo-ooooooooo I GRANDMOTHER'S \ BOOK By DOUGLAS MALLOCH X oooooooooooooooooooooooooo I SEE Grandmother's finger yet Tracing the verses line by line.
