NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS President Coolidge Vetoes the Farm Relief Bill— Crisis at Shanghai. By EDWARD W. PICKARD PRESIDENT COOLIDGE on Friday vetoed the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill, and all hope for govern mental relief for the agriculturists was abandoned until the next congress shall meet. The chief’ executive, in one of the longest veto messages ever received by congress, repeated his al ready well-known reasons for consid ering the bill economically unsound and fallacious. He said it was a price fixing scheme indirectly and would put the government into buying and sell ing. He condemned the equalization fee as a tax on some farmers for the benefit of others. He asserted the plan would increase production and lower the world price to a point that would result in flooding the country with foreign farm product imports over the tariff wail. The President appended an opinion by Attorney Gene| eral Sargent holding the bill unconstl- 1 tutional in numerous particulars. Whatever may be thel opinion of of Mr. Coliidge's rea- j PKw vetoing the bili 'fr of his po- Kcir. “Vlsdom in this respect, there P no question of his consistency and' nls courage in the matter. In the cen tral West the immediate Reaction to the veto was a definite determination to put Frank O. Lowden in the run ning for the Presidential nomination at the next national convention. The Democrats in congress saw an oppor tunity to win the farmer for tariff reduction. MATTERS in China moved rapidly toward a crisis last week. Fol lowing his crushing defeat at Hang chow by the Nationalists, Marshal Sun Chuan-fang, hitherto ruler of Kiangsu province, g«ive up Hangchow, Hashing and Ningpo, second largest port in i Chekiang province, and retired on Shanghai. At the same time the Na tionalists in Shanghai started a gen eral strike which, though nominally directed against Sun, was actually an anti-foreign demonstration and pretty effectually tied up business and traffic in the city. The Chinese officials tried to curb it by the summary execution of scores of leaders and student agi tators whose heads were sliced off and stuck v on poles in the streets. In the midst of the ruction Sun decided he was beaten and practically surren dered leadership of the anti-Canton forces there to Gen. Chang Chung chang, boss of Fengtien, who entered the lower Yangtse valley with a large army. Crews of two of Sun’s gun- ! boats anchored in the Whangpoo river rebelled and began firing three-inch • shells In the direction of the Shanghai arsenal. Owing to poor markmanshlp nearly all the shells fell in the French concession, where several residences • were struck. French gunboats speed ily put an end to this performance. On > Thursday the Nationalists called off the strike, partly because they were ! runing out of funds and partly be cause of the terrorism of the execu-. tlons. The beheadings ceased and most of the workers returned to their (obs. , j Twelve hundred American marines. arrived from San Diego on the trans-1 port Chaumont but not disembark. That made the total of American armed forces there about 2,300. Five American warships were at anchor in the Whangpoo and four more destroy ers were on the way there. The Brit ish forces were constantly being strengthened, and the French were re inforced. All these may be needed when the expected struggle for posses sion of Shanghai starts between the Cantonese and the armies of Marshal Chang Tso-lin which are moving from the north. n Y A vote of 208 to 172 the house accepted the senate amendment to the navy appropriation bill providing fnoney for beginning the three light cruisers whose construction the Pres ident has insisted should be delayed. The house reduced the amount from $1,200,000 to $450,000, and the senate acquiesced in this change. IN ORDER to provide a place of refuge for British subjects imperiled by the civil warfare in Nicaragua, the British government decided to send a cruiser to the Central American re public. This plan was adopted after the British charge d'affaires at Mana gua had notified the government that President Diaz and the American min ister, Mr. Eberhardt, had stated they could not guarantee to protect British lives and property in case of renewed street fighting. It was stated in Lon don that the sending of the warship does not indicate a change In the British policy in Latin America nor a change in attitude toward the Mon roe doctrine. Secretary of State Kel logg in a formal statement said that “Admiral Latimer has been instructed from the beginning to protect foreign as well as American lives and prop erty and is doing everything he can to do so.” Seemingly determined to put an end to the Sacasa rebellion, the American government sent more marines to Nic aragua and Admiral Latimer created new neutral zones for the purpose of keeping the railway in operation and of protecting the cities. Dispatches from Managua said President Diaz was;about to submit to the Nicaraguan congress a proposal for a 100 year alli ance with the United States which would mean practically the creation of a ITALY’S formreply to Coolidge’s na\vl disarmament pro posal was transmitted to Washington. It w T as a politely worded but flat rejec tion, and was drafted by Premier Mur>- solini himself. Before being a mili tary or even political problem, naval defense is for Italy one of existence, the note says. Geography establishes characteristics which cannot be disre garded. Italy’s position in Europe is determined entirely by the fact that her territorial limits are within one body of water, outlets of which are entirely controlled by other nations. The note declares that so far as the European continent is concerned, there is an inalienable interdependence of all categories of armaments of every single power and that it is impossible to adopt the measure for only the five great naval powers. Japan, on the other hand, has ac cepted the Coolidge proposal and says its delegates at Geneva will have full power to negotiate an agreement ex tending the limitation to all classes of fighting ships. But the Japanese reply makes it plain that the government is unwilling to extend the 5-5-3 ratio to cruisers, destroyers and submarines. For these vessels it wants a ratio nearer a parity with America and Great Britain. SOVIET Russia has been twisting the British lion’s tail too persist ently, and last week it received from the British government a blunt warn ing that all relations between the two nations would be broken off unless It mended its ways at once. In the note, called one of the most outspoken ever formulated by the British foreign office, Sir Austen Chamberlafn, foreign secretary, says that the relations be tween the British government and the union of soviet socialist republics “continue notoriously of an unsatis factory nature.” He declares that “there are limits beyond which it is dangerous to drive public opinion in Great Britain” and that a continuance of the breeches of the agreement sooner or later will cause a break be tween the two countries. All Russia celebrated the ninth an niversary of the establishment of the Red army, and the press carried arti cles by leading soviet authorities as serting that the army was prepared to meet all eventualities. WITH only a few days remaining before the end of the session, congressmen made an effort to rush through a lot of legislation. In the senate this was hampered by the fili buster carried on for the purpose of defeating the bill to dam the Colorado river in Boulder canyon. Ashurst of Arizona led this filibuster and frus trated all efforts of Johnson of Cali fornia, author of the bill, to bring it to a vote. As the house steering com mittee had decided the measure should not be taken up in the house unless acted on by the senate, it was con sidered practically dead so fur as this congress was concerned. In its intervals, of real work the senate passed the house bill authoriz ing the veterans’ bureau to make loans to veterans on their adjusted service certificates. The house passed the James bill authorizing an appropria tion of $8,491,000 for new barracks at various army posts. President Cool idge signed the radio act and the army appropriation bill. WHEN Samuel lnsull of Chicago appeared before the Reed com mittee In Washington he d*hswered most of the questions concerning his contributions to the Illinois primary campaign funds, but flatly refused to tell to whom he gave $40,000 for local political campaigns. Nor would he permit his attorney to reveal this. The public utilities magnate was in structed to return to the committee room at the end of the week, and it was expected that he would persist In his refusal to reply to the question. Then, probably he will be cited for contempt, as will be Thomas W. Cun ningham or Philadelphia, who would not reveal the source of $50,000 he con tributed to the Vare-Beidleman fund. State’s Attorney Crowe of Chicago avoided citation by answering all ques tions. SENATOR LA FOLLETTE of Wis consin took the occasion of Wash ington’s birthdajwto introduce in the senate this resolißon : Rfeg)P*lsolvcd, Bre thafj lished by Washingtohii a*„.flother Pr®l dents of the United States in retiring from Presidential office after their sec ond term, has become, by universal concurrence, a part of our republican system of government, and that any departure from this time-honored cus tom would be unwise, unpatriotic and fraught with peril to our free institu tions.” • In the house Representative Fair child of New York introduced a resolu tion for amending the federal Constitu tion so that “no person shall be eligible to the office of President who has pre viously served two terms, whether by election or by succession due to the removal, death, resignation or inability of the President where the term of succession shall have continued for a period of two years or more.” Under the terms of the La Follette resolution, Mr. Coolidge would be in eligible for re-election next year. Un der the Fairchild plan, he would In eligible. COMMANDER FRANCESCO DI PINEDO of Italy, for the glory of Fascism, flew across the Atlantic ocean last week. He started from the Cape Verde islands, off the coast of Africa, and flew direct to Fernando Noronha island, Brazil. He passed on with the intention of making the main land but encountered heavy seas off the coast and was forced to return to the island. After his plane is repaired Di Pinedo plans to fly to Jamaica, Cuba, New. Orleans, St Louis, Chicago and New York. FOR two days and nights the North Atlantic seaboard was swept by furious winds and tremendous seas, and before the storm subsided It had taken nearly two score lives. Boats were wrecked, beach structures razed and sea wals smashed. Far out at sea the transatlantic shipping was crippled and the great liners were all many hours late. COAL operators and miners In con ference at Miami failed to r.-ree on a wage scale for the bituminous field. The workers consistently re fused to consider a reduction of wages. It is supposed generally that this means a strike on April 1, but authori ties assert there will not be a complete cessation of production In the field. OHIO lost one of her most distin guished sons in the death of Jud son Harmon, who passed away unex pectedly in Cincinnati at the age of eighty-one years. Mr. Harmon was twice governor of Ohio, once attorney general of the United States, and sev eral times a prominent possibility for tne Democratic Presidential nomina tion. the »>m Qkd teach children sanctity of LIFE School children inspection of fire hazards is credited with saving Kansas City a million dollars in needless fires, within the past five years. The chil dren are trained in the schools to note and to eliminate fire risks; and they are encouraged to make their city safe from fire by pointing out or abating these proven hazards. Every needless fire is that much wanton destruction of the life work of those who built the property, what ever it is. From this standpoint, every fire is a public calamity, even a crime. To teach the children to abate fires is to teach them the sanctity of life.
