This is contrary to the view expressed hy Congressman Theo dore E: Burton, head of the American delegation, who insists foreign ship ments of munitions, not the private manufacture, is the important tiling. Mr. Burton <>n Thursday offered a scheme dealing with the traffic in poi sonous gases. Both Brazil nnd Uruguay advocate a rule under the proposed convention that no nation may sell amis to a rebel party until a half of the nations signing the treaty. Including a certain number of the great powers, recognize the government of a revolutionary party. This Is opposed by the Amer ican delegation because in most rev olutions in the western hemisphere the hands of the United States would be tied, while awaiting the recogni tion of a revolutionary party by nu merous European powers. This Is looked on as a serious menace to the Monroe doctrine. Carton de Wiart of Belgium was elected president of the conference. NE of the most significant events of- the week was the first public address of Ambassador Houghton in London. Undoubtedly speaking for President Coolidge's administration, he tactfully but pointedly admonished the nations of Europe that unless they abandoned warlike ambitions and de structive methods and policies the American people would cease to aid in European reconstruction. He did not name any nation, but it was generally accepted that his warning was direct ed especially at France, and every where except in France the speech was warmly commended. Telling, his hearers that Americans looked on the aftermath of the war in Europe sympathetically and with an intense desire to help, Mr. Hough ton continued : ? "But we, too, are a practical people. When we lent our savings to make It possible for the peoples of central Eu rope to get work it was because we knew that only in this way could Eu rope as a whole be made to function economically. When we lent of our savings to rebuild markets that had been destroyed it was because we knew that in no other way could they be enjoyed again. "That was a necessary beginning. It was common sense. If we went at the Job with a certain moral earnestness, let that go to our credit. It Is natural I for us to assume flint those who have ! suffered so much from tiio war should ' swk a settlement which as far as ' humanly possible should ho free of the conditions leading directly to war. To that end and in that spirit we have ! helped. ! "Hut we have never forgotten that there was a . limit beyond which we | could not go. The full measure of ! American helpfulness can he obtained only when the American people are as sured that the time for destructive I methods and policies has passed and the time for peaceful upbuilding has j come. They are asking themselves If that time, as a fact, has come. And i that question they cannot today an- | : swer. An answer must be given to j j them. It must come from the peoples j of Europe, who alone can make deci- 1 sions. "If the answer is pence, then you may be sure that America will help | to her generous utmost. But if. God j forbid that answer will continue con- j fused and doubtful, then 1 fear those j helpful processes which are now In mo- j tion must inevitably cense." ! TF TIIE Atlantic 'Coast rum-running A fleet i^ not routed and dispersed it : will not be the fault of Assistant See- ' retary of the Treasury Andrews, In ' charge of the treasury's activities in enforcing prohibition. Vnder his di rection the naval and aerial resources i | ??f. the const guard of the New .York , area are being used to effect, a block- j ade against the liquor smugglers, j More than sixty coast guard boats, manned by -loo men and fully armed, ! are patrolling the sea arid are as- , sisted by thirteen seaplanes w hich are j mapping and photographing the posi tion of the carriers of contraband and i scouting for shore boats.

The blockade extends from Con necticut to New Jersey and its every move is directed from shore by radio. \ FTER defeating the Spanish In A Morocco, the RitT tribesmen pro ; ceeded to invade the French part of ; ; that country with the idea of driving c>ut the French, l'.ut they are up against the doughty General Lyautey and his experienced troops and al ready have been defeated in several ? sanguinary battles.

The French gov ernment says its troops will not cross the Spanish border in pursuit of Ab del-Krim's followers unless specifically j permitted to do so by Spain and Eng land.

The treasury, it Is predicted, will show a surplus of about $100,000,000 for the current year. The total volume of tax receipts may lie cut by 11! per font, the '.method of doing this to he derided by congress. Secretary Mel lon wants surtaxes reduced and rates on estate taxes lowered or eliminated.
