News Review of Current Events the World Over President Hoover Speaks to Farmers?Roosevelt and Smith Bury the Hatchet?Insull "Brothers Indicted? Japan Ignores Lytton Report. By EDWARD W. PICKARD BOTH Republicans and Democrats derived great encouragement from developments of tlie week, and seemingly with the best of reason. The former hailed with glee the warm reception given Pres ident Hoover in Iowa. Before enthusiastic thousands the Chief Executive delivered Id Des Moines his first speech In his campaign for re-elec tion, addressing him self especially to the corn and hog raisers M. H. Lehman who have been show ing such decided dis content that their shift to the Demo crnts was freely predicted He 4^ clared the program ofTered by his rival would mean ruin to American agriculture and laid down one of hi> own that Included the maintenance of high protective tariffs on farm products, the amelioration of the farm mortgage situation and the use of annual payments on the foreign debt to advance foreign markets for American farm products. Both Air. Hoover and Mrs. Hoover, who accompanied hlra on the trip, are natives of Iowa, and the people of the state gave them a cordial wel come. The President was so encour aged that on the way back to Wash ington he made back platform speeches In ten towns In Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Democracy's glee was caused by the reconciliation between Franklin D. Itoosevelt. Its Presidential candidate, and AI Smith, who had been holding rather aloof in I he campaign. The hatchet was buried In the New York state Democratic convention where both Itoosevelt and Smith were fight ing to bring about the nomination of Herbert H. Lehman for governor against the stubborn opposition of Tammany Hall leaders. Going to the platform to place Lehman in nomina tion. Smith grasped the hand of his old friend with a smiling "Hello, Frank." and the governor responded with cordiality as the cameras of the press photographers clicked madly and the crowd yelled approval. Itoosevelt said: "AI. this is from the heart." And Al replied: "Frank, that goes with me, too." Tnmmnnf Hall was utterly defeat ed and Lehman was nominated, with W. M. IJray of Utlca for lieutenant governor. Senator Itobert F. Wag ner was accorded a renondnation. The Itcpuhllcnn New York conven tlon nominated Col. William J. ("Wild Bill") Donovan for governor; F. Tru bee Davison, assistant secretary of war. for lieutenant governor, and George Z. Medalie for United States senator. At the notification cere monies Colonel Donovan declared himself In favor of repeal of the Eighteenth amendment but added that in his opinion President Hoover had met this issue very squarely. ?? \ 4 EltKLY a diary of a fortnight's IV1 journey through Manchuria" was the way Minister of War Sadao Araki characterized the report of the I.ytton commission to the I .ensue of Nn tions when the Jap 4 nose cnblnet met to consider It Other ministers igreed thnt It was unworthy of Japan's serious atten tion. and the cabinet then made this curt announcement: -The government has decided that the Lytton report does Sec'y Stimaon not constitute c;itise\ to alter its Mnnchurian policy." Various res|?onsibIe lenders in Ja pnn grave notice that their country would continue its domination of Manchtikyo, and the world wonders Just what the League of Nations can ?nd will do about It The Japanese war office Issued a statement declaring that If the league acts in the spirit of the Lytton report Japan will hare no alternative but to withdraw from the league and oppose its action with the firmest determination. France has shown decided sympathy with Japan In the controversy and Great Britain has been rather lukewarm in her friendship for China. The Unit , ed States, though not *n the league. Is t most Important factor in the af fair, and Japan Insists that Secretary of Stats Stimsnn has again displayed Ills animosity toward Japan and Is a %. . * ? -2. * " menace to the good relations between Japan and America. This Is because Mr. Stlinson In an address before the Philadelphia Union League club said President Hoover had formulated a successful policy of nonrecognition for territorial gains made by force of arms, and added that the "open door" policy was necessary to preserve China's territorial and administrative Integrity. The Lytton report, insisting "less on the responsibility for past actions than on the necessity for finding means to prevent their repetition." calls for the establishment of an auton omous demilitarized Manchuria un der Chinese sovereignty. The details of Its status are to be agreed upon at an advisory Slno-Japanese confer ence following the recommendations of the league and with the league council sitting as arbiter. It holds up practically to ridicule the Mukden incident of September 18, 1931, over which Japan Jumped off to the occupation of Manchuria. It In timates the whole thing was planned.1 "Rut even In Japan," says the re port In a tart passage, "appropriate means must be found for attainment of every end." PRESIDENT DE VALERA of the Irish Free State has brought about the dismissal of James McNeil) as governor general, and It is reported in uuDiin that he will not nominate a suc cessor, either taking the position himself or cutting the I r i Slate entirely away from the British common wealth. When lie de cided that McNeill should go the British government had no alternative to acced ing to the demand. JametMcNeill Mr. De Valera on his way home from Geneva conferred with British cabinet members in London and it was agreed that the Anglo-Irish economic war, that started over the withholding of the land annuities due the British gov ernment, should be settled by direct negotiation. This was a victory for I he Free State, for the British had previously Insisted the dispute should be arbitrated by an empire tribunal. \I7HEN Samuel Instill, former pub * * lie utilities magnate, and his brother Martin Ignored the request of State's Attorney Swanson In Chi cago that they return from France and Canada, respectively, to assist In thfe untangling of the affairs of the numerous corporations with which they had heen connected. Mr. Swan son became indignant and promptly presented his cases against them to the grand Jury. Within a few days that body returned three Indictments charging embezzlement, larceny by bailee and larceny. Capiases for the arrest of the brothers were Issued and steps to bring about their extra dition were taken. The first Indictment names Martin Insull alone. It charges that he ab stracted by means of embezzlement, larceny, ~.nd larceny as bailee $377,720 from the treasury of the Middle West Utilities company and used t'.e money to protect his personal brokerage ac counts. The second Indictment charges Sam uel Insull and Martin rnsull Jointly with using $00,000 of the funds of the Middle West Utilities company to pro^ tect brokerage accounts carried In the name of Washington Flexner. presi dent of the Lincoln Printing company. The third indictment names the brothers Jointly on a charge of ab stracting $104,222 from the treasury of the Mississippi Valley Utilities In vestment company for the c.me pur pose. Samuel Insull disappeared from Paris, and Martin was put under tr rest in Canada. GHKAT BRITAIN took steps to break the disarmament deadlock caused by Germany's withdrawal from the Geneva conference when her de mand for armament equality fcas re fused. The British ambassador to Per lln Invited the German government to send repiesentatives to a iour power conference In London to consider the German demand and to pave the way for Germany's return to the confer ence. The other three powers wonld be France, Great Britain and Italy, and the United States rould be In vited to seod as observer. The Qer j * man reply was fhat It would be use less to hold the meeting unless Ger many were first given certain guar antees hat her demand for e^unllty would be really fulfilled. Norman Davis, acting chlfcf of tlie American disarmament delegation, went to London to talk itxmt fleet re ductions proposed by President Hoo ver. On the way from Geneva he stopped 'n Paris to sound ot 1 the Trench on the Franco l'ta I Inn obstacle to making the London treaty a five power pact IRAQ was admitted to a seat ns a sovereign member of the League of Nations, the first country in the Arabian world to reach that status, and King Feisal Is now an entirely independent monarch. Great P.ritain resigned her mandate over Iraq and was highly praised for her generos ity by all speakers In the Ivgue as sembly. There was an intimation that Trance should follow this exam ple in regard to Syria, hut the Trench at Geneva were noncommittal. Iraq was formed after the WorlJ war out of the former Turkish provinces of Ragdad. Mosul and Basra. Within Its boundaries are vast oil fields, and the population is nearly three millions. MF.XICO'S government and the Catholic church are again at each other's throats. In a recent en cyclical Pope Plus discussed what he cniieu me new nnti legal persecution" of the church and Catho lics In Mexico and an nounced a policy of "formal co-operation" without renouncing principles or with drawing past denun ciations. President Abelardo L. Itodrlguex countered with a dec Inpotlnn tltnt oil Ilia Catholic churches In Mexico would he President Rodriguez cioatm iw reugiuus use i If the Catholic church's attitude, "as I showti In the encyclical" should con- I tlnue. This attitude he called Insolent and defiant. Archbishop Leopoldo Itulz y Flores. papal legale to Mexico, took part In the controversy and the chamber of deputies unanimously voted to ask 1'resident llodriguez to deport him. The president Immediately compiled and the legate was put aboard a plane and shipped to San Antonio. Texas. /~\NE of the heroes of the British ^ conquest of the Sudan, Gen. Sir Itudolph Slatln Pasha, died In Vienna at the age of seventy-five. Born In Austria, he enlisted for service with the British army In the Sudan when he was twenty-one years old. Under Gen. "Chinese" Gordon, he led the British In their bloody war with the Mahdl, Arab chieftain. It was Sir Rudolph's prowess In beating back the dervish tribesmen In 27 battles which won him the title of "The Hammer of the Arabs." In 1885 he was taken prisoner by the Arabs and was held a slave for twelve years. After his es cape he served under Lord Kitchener. DRAZII.'S civil war, which had last ed for nearly three months came to a close with the unconditional sur render of the rebels In the state of Sao Paulo. Military police replaced the rebel government In Sao Paulo, capital of the state, and the great coffee |mrt of Santos was reopened to commerce. The revolutionary army dishandedand Its leader. Gen. Bertoldn Klinger. and other officers were held under arrest, at the federal army headquarters at Cruzeiro. OHII.E went through another switch In government when Gen.

THERE was more trouble In the j Illinois coal fields and detachments of the National Guard were isisted In several towns to curb the actions of the striking miners and their pickets. One of the peculiar developments was a strike of high school pupils In Kln caid because the Chicago school board had bought coal from a company oper ating under the $.*> wage scale.

The leaves of the Green Forest, except those on the pine and the spruce and the hemlock trees, were turning red and yellow and brown and dropping to carpet the ground and rustle beneath unwary feet. As often as possible Peter 1 tab bit slipped over to the pond of Paddy the Beaver to see if Mr. and Mrs. Quack and the ten young Quacks were still There, and each time he found them growing more and more itneasy. He knew that it would take very little to start them on their long Journey to spend the coming winter in the far away Southland?the sight of other ducks flying overhead or a sudden fright. Just at dusk every evening they flew over to the Big River to feed among the rushes there, Mr. Quack leading. His wing, which had been broken by shot from a terrible gun in the spring, was as sound and strong as ever. In fact, .Mr. Quack was quite himself, big, strong and handsome. As for tlie j'oung Quacks, they were full grown now and eager to try their wings in long flights and to see the Client World. Very early every morning they returned to the pond of Ruddy, the Beaver deep in the Green Forest to spend the day resting, sleeping and perhaps playing a little. At least, the young Quacks played. One afternoon Reter slipped away from the dear Old Brier Ratch over to the Green Forest and hurried siraigui to tne ponu or ratkly the Beaver. Peter had something on his mind. Just by chance he had peeped out of the dear Old Brier Patch in time to sec a man passing, and under one arm he carried a terrible gun. He watched the man out of sight and he disappeared in the direction of the Big River. Bight away Peter thought of the Quack family. Just supposing that hunter should be hiding near where the Quacks usually ate their evening meal! Peter shivered a little at the thought of what might happen. Mr. and Mrs. Quack ought to he warned end there was no one to do it but himself. Peter started early enough, but as Is his way he had to stop ever so many times to look at things which aroused his curiosity. When he had satisfied it he would scamper llpperty lipperty lip as fast as lie could until something else stopped him. So It was almost the Quack dinner time when at last, quite out of breath, he reached the edge of the pond of Paddy the Beaver, lie was greatly relieved to see all t'.ie Quack family still there. "Oh," he panted. #Ttn Just in time." "Just In time for what?" asked Mr. Quack. "To warn you that it isn't safe for you to go to the Big ICIver tonight," cried Peter. "I saw a hunter with a terrible gun going that way this after noon and he may be there yet." If Peter expected lhat bis news would excite the Quack family, he was j mistaken, very much mistaken. In fact, It wasn't pews at all. "We saw i a hunter over there last night, and so we knew that the time has come for us to go," explained Mr. Quack. "We're ever so much obliged to you, Peter, for trying to warn us, and we're glad you've come in time to say good by. Perhaps we'll see you ngain next spring. Take care of yourself and don't let Beddy Fox catch you." "Good by and good luck," cried Peter and Paddy the Beaver together. Mr. Quark swam out to the head of his flock. Very fainlly from far away there came the hang of a gun. As If this was a signal. Mr. Quack shot Into the air, and behind him rose all the other Quacks. There was n shrill sound of whistling wings, which grew fainter and fainter until It could no longer he heard. High In the air twelve black specks grew smaller and smaller and then disappeared. Mr. nnd Mrs. Quack and their ten children had started on their long, terrible journey to the faraway Southland. Peter felt a lump In Ids throat. "1 do hope nothing will happen to them," lie said In a husky voice. "If it were not for the hunters with terrible guns, nothing would, for Mr. "Good-by and Good Luck!" Cried Pe ter and Paddy the Beaver Together. I PAPA knows-I "Pop, what la a hand-B.--??<lo1" "Wartima loving cup." ) J e llir Bell arwHeata?WNTi Sonic*. P. . Quack is smart enough to keep them from all other dangers and be has brought his children up to mind. They're as well trained a lot of young ducks as ever I've seen, and I've seen a great many," replied Pnddy. "But I dread those terrible guns," he added. <?. 193!. byT.W. Bur?e??)?WfTO Service.

To will is something greater than To wish, to only want We do not lose because the day Was dark, or high the hill; We do not win because we may. We win because we will. Men lose who might have won suc cess. Who "couldn't," yet they could. Men win who nothing more possess Than hope and hardihood. Because they can't men do not lose, Because they can, achieve; The winners win because they choose. And nothing else believe. Who thinks that he can fall has failed Before he makes a start, But "can't" has never yet prevailed Against a dauntless heart The man who "can" may be too sure, Who "can't" Is weaker still; But no misfortune can endure Before the man who "will." 1*22, Douglaa lfalloch.?WNU fl?rtrlc?.
