NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
I
Allied and German Foreign
Ministers Agree at Last
on the Security Pact.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
SECURITY for western Europe ap
pears to have hern achieved by
the agreement reached last week by
the conference of allied and German
foreign ministers and other statesmen
at Locarno, Switzerland. Great tact
and a spirit of conciliation were dis
played by all concerned und obstacles
that for a time seemed insurmountable
were climbed over or removed. The
most serious of these were the de
mands of Poland, but Poland's politi
cal and financial position is exceeding
ly shaky, and so she was brought Into
line by pressure from thosa on whom
she liepends. Germany was most In
sistent on n provision exempting her
from application of article 16 of the
covenant upon her Joining the League
of Nations, but was persuaded to ac
cept a "gentleman's agreement" by
which the aJlles promised to use their
good offices to obtain for her this ex
emption and also to provide eventually
for colonial mandates.
It was agreed that the Polish and
Czech arbitration treaties with (<K?r
tuanv should be guaranteed by the
league, France undertaking to look aft
er the Interests of her eastern allies.
If those allies get into a quarrel with
Germany, France Is to have the right
to send troops- through German terri
tory to their aid only if the league
council unanimously declares Germany
at fault.
France gains in . the agreement a
guarantee of her eastern frontier with
assurance of safety trom attack from
the east; and this presumably will
make it possible for her to decrease
lipr armed forces afid so reduce sub
stantially her military budget. Great
IJritain and Italy guarantee that the
Rhine frontier shall not he disturbed.
Germany is to be readmitted to the
concert of European powers on an
equal footing ; the Cologne zone is to
bp evacuated, conditions in the Rhin0
land are to be ameliorated and the
status of the Saar region is to he re
considered; rehabilitation of Ger
many's commercial aviation industry
is to be permitted, and there will be
no further fenr of sanctions for her
failure to fulfill the Versailles treaty.
After the drafts of tlu? agreements
l.ad been approved by President \ on
lllndenhurg and the German cabinet,
'Premier Mussolini, who Is also foreign
minister of Italy, went to Locarno to
sign for his country as guarantor wltji
Great Britain of the security pact.
Only the drawing up of the four ar
bitration treaties remained to he done,
and It was planned to have all the doc
uments ready for signing by Saturday
night. Too much credit cannot he
given the statesmen who have brought
about those pacts, and when the
treaties go Into effect the whole civi
lized world will breathe a sigh of re
lief. *

I") RESIDENT COOL1DGE has let it
i he known that the attitude of the
administration toward foreign loans Is
based on the principle that those na
tions that have funded their debts to
the United States will be more likely
to obtain loans over here than the na
tions thai have not made such settle
ments. This view is confirmed by
statements of leading bankers.
It was admitted by the White House
spokesman that the government has
no legal authority over the making of
loans to foreign governments, hut it
was pointed out that where loans are
to be floated by public subscription it
has been the practice for American
bankers to make inquiry of the State
department as to whether there could
be any objection to such loan.
No mention was made at the White
House of any individual European na
tion and what was said there was not
believed to have been aimed. In any
direct sense, at least, at France, al
though certain reports have indicated
that loans which Frantic was seeking
to negotiate in this country probably
must be delayed on account of that

TAKING advantage of general dis
satisfaction with the high rents im
posed on poor householders in I'anama
City, the Keds there promoted a series
of bloody riots which the local police
were unable to stop. Therefore Presi
dent Cldari called ,on the United States
for help and three battalions of the
Thirty-third infantry from Fort Clay
ton, in the Canal Zone, entered the city
and took command of the situation.
About the first thing the Yanks did
was to raid the Bolshevist headquarters.
One of the Reds was killed by leaping
from a window. Quiet was restored
in a day or so and business was re
sumed, but the clubs and saloons were
kept closed by the Americans. Print
ers and signers of incendiary # proc
lamations were arrested. The Panama
government recognized that there was
reason for complaint of high Rents'
and President Chiari persuaded the
.landlords to promise a reduction of 10
per cent for the cheaper dwellings.
The American troops, which were com-,
manded by Prig. Gen. C. "H. Martin, It
was announced would remain In the
city until the landlords and tenants
bad readied a definite settlement.
PRESIDENT COOLIDOE announced
on Tuesday that he had accepted
the resignation of-?Seeretary of War
John \V. Weeks, and at the same time
he appointed Dwlght F. Davis of Mis
souri to the cabinet position. Mr.
Weeks has been Incapacitated by ill
ness since last siring and Mr. Davis,
his assistant, had been acting secre
tary. He performed his duties well,
and dealt so satisfactorily with the
crisis precipitated by Colonel Mitchell's
aircraft charges that the President con
cluded lie was the best man to succeed
Mr. Weeks. He is a young man. the
| youngest In the cabinet, but has a fine
I record, as a civil official in St. Louis,
f as a hard fighting officer in the war
in France and as a member1 of the war
finance corporation after the conflict
ended. He is a leader of the Missouri
! Republicans and in 1922 nearly beat
the late Senator Spencer for the nom
ination.
Col. Hanford MacNlder of Iowa, for
mer national commander of the Amer
ican Legion, was made assistant sec
retary of war. As a banker he is a
capable buisness man and his selec
tion is pleasing to former service men.
The passing of Mr. Weeks from
public life, foreseen for months, was
pathetic. He has been the trusted ad
viser of two Presidents, a strong man
in his party and one of the best loved
men in Washington throughout twenty
years. He is only sixty-five years old
but his health is broken and it is un
derstood he will soon leave for the
South. 4
UNITED STATES SENATOR
. SAMUEL M. RALSTON of Indi
ana, who had been .suffering for
months from a disease of the kidneys,
died Wednesday night at his home,
just outside Indianapolis. He was al
most sixty-eight years of age. Mr.
Ralston was born on an Ohio farm,
earned his living while acquiring an
education and became a leading mem
ber of the bar and of the Democratic
party in Indiana. In 1913 he was
inaugurated governor of the state, and
in 1922 he defeated A. J. Beveridge
for the United Stales senate. He was
a prominent candidate for the Demo
cratic Presidential nomination in the
national convention last year bur, be
ing already in ill health, he withdrew
from the contest. The release of his
votes started the break that resulted
in the nomination of John W. Davis.
Another death that must be recorded
is that of James B. Duke, the tobacco
magnate and former president of the
American Tobacco company, at his
New York residence. k It was only a
few months ago that *lr. Duke ga\e

The narrative was given by Earl
Victor von Brandenburg who, with
ei^ht other men, is under indictment
here charged with participating in the
disposal of more than $300,000 worth
of the $1,300,000 securities stolety by
Gerard Chapman and his pals in the
holdup of a mail truck in New York
four years ago.
He was a government witness
against A. W. Perelstrous and Stephen
Robinson, Jr., of this city, who are
charged with conspiracy in aiding the
pledging of the $300,000 in securities
which was changed to Duke university
in memory of the donor's father.
DROTESTANT Episcopalians in their
triennial convention in New Or
leans have been attracting a lot of
attention. In the first place the 'con
viction of Bishop William M. Brown
on charges of heresy was confirmed
hy the house of bishops and, despite
his resort to the civil courts, he was
deposed from the ministry. Then the
house of deputies Toted to exclude the
word "obey" from the marriage service
and the proposal went to the bishops
for acceptance or rejection. Next.pt he
church abandoned its practice of fill
ing the place of presiding bishop in
accordance with seniority of consecra
tion and resorted for the first time to
election. Bishop Brent of western
New York and Bishop Gailor of
Tennessee were the leading candidates
but neither could command a majority.
Finally as a compromise Rt. Rev. John
Murray, bishqp of Maryland, was
elected. He is sixty-eight years old
and is classed as a conservative.
P MANY witnesses heard by the
aircraft board last week, the most
interesting was Rear Admiral William
S. Sims, retired. As has always btjpn
his habit lie "talked right out in meet
ing." devoting his remarks especially
to the Navy department and its ad
ministration at present and in recent
years. This he described as ''unrea
sonable, unscientific and unmilltary,"
and he respectfully but unmistakably
let the board know that his opinion of
Secretary Wilbur was nothing for that
official to be proud of. The depart
ment's conservatism In the matter of
new weapons, marksmanship and other
advances he described as unutterably
stupid. He urged the necessity of a
definite aircraft policy, asserting that
the Navy department has not and
never has had such a policy. He
praised Colonel Mitchell but disap
proved of his proposal for a separate
air force. Four generals of the army.
Sunimerall, Ely, Drum and Parker,
also disagreed with the Mitchell plan,
and Ely said officers who were asking
It were not playing the game because
they were not supporting the other

and lacked loyalty and discipline. All
agreed that the doughboy Is and al

AMERICAN capital is to regenerate
Liberia, the little Negro republic
on the west coast of Africa, and at the
same time is to undertake to smash
the British and Dutch control of the
world's rubber production. Harvey S.
Firestone's rubber company is the one
that plans all this and he announces
that it will expend $100,000,000 in Li
beria, Setting out great plantations,
building towns, harbors, railways and
highways and giving employment to
some 300,000 natives. A concession
has been obtained from the Liberian
government, contracts have been let
and work already has begun.
O ENEWED attempts of Communists
^ to commit the American Federa
tion of Labor to recognition of soviet
Russia and to co-operation with the
Russian trade unions were frustrated
by the vote of the convention In At
lantic City. The delegates also re
jected a resolution attacking training
camps, Instead declaring their approval
of national defense and denouncing
communist pacifists. Other actions of
the federation were condemnation of
ship subsidies In all forms, of the pro
posal for a uniform industrial court
law, of "speeding-up practices" In gov
ernment departments, and of Public
Printer George Carter for alleged dis
crimination against union employees.
President William Oreen and all other
officers of the federation were re
elected.
N THURSDAY the new prohlbl
tion enforcement machinery de
vised by Assistant Secretary Andrews
of the Treasury department went Into
full operation, and as a starter In the
way of economy two thousand prohibi

of these will be reappointed. Mr. An

istrators would be held responsible
for the conduct of their forces, and
that they would be given a free hand

that the latter could, in turn be held
responsible to them. ^

ROAD
BOILDING
J ? ? fr"
HIGHWAY BUILDERS
FACE HARD PROBLEM
The number of automobiles and
trucks in this country has multiplied
more than 12 times since 1913. This
gives an idea of the tremendous prob
lem faced by our road builders, and It
explains wIm our nighway system has
not been awe to meet the traffic de
mands. The extent to which motor
vehicles can be used depends entirely
upon the available good highways. The
motor vehicle and the adequate road
forms a combination which works for
the best interests of the entire com
munity.
Within recent years there has de
veloped a new vision of trade possi
bilities. We need national road sys
tems ? systems that will give us a de
pendable transportation to supplement
our national highways. We need good
road systems in order that the radius
of motor traffic may be lengthened and
Its benefits extended to all communi
ties and all classes of people.
The people of this country are de
manding roads that will bear the traf
fic requirements of today, roads that
will bear the shocks of great loads
driven at high speeds, mads over
which motor vehicles can operate with
economy, and over which all kinds of
highway traffic can operate regardless
of weather or season, and above %11,
roads that will be permanent. There
is no economy in temporary construc
tion. With such construction, vast
sums must be spent for repairs and
maintenance, which in the end will
he far in excess of the amount re
quired for permanent construction in
the beginning.
During the 15 yearn that have
elapsed since the start was made for
a highway system in the United
States, practical'!/ every type of road
has been built, and of the few that
have been able to. come through un
scathed the hard surface seems to have
pro'ven itself superior iL actual ser
vice. i
. A surface Which will remain even
and regular and unchanged by J the
hammering of vehicles is one of the
advantages of the hard surface. Mod
ern traffic moves rapidly and the
wheels deliver an Impact far greater
than that of any horse-drawn traffic.
If the material of which the surface
Is constructed has 'not the rigidity
and strength to sustain the weight
and Impact of passing loads the sar
face will be deformed into waves,
holes and ruts, and the quality of
evenness will be lost. Obviously, If a
paved road is to be made good It must
have a sufficiently hard surface to
distribute the weight of heavy wheel
loads over a large area of the under
lying soil.
Such pavement surface is imper
vious to climatic changes. Heat does
not soften the binder, permitting It
to flow; cold does not make It brittle,
causing it to chip. Its gritty surface
gives as good traction when wet as
when dry, thus preventing dangerous
skidding. Los Angeles, Seattle, and
Portland, where they have more or
less rain during the winter, use hard
pavements on the hills.
Welcome Appreciated
In appreciation of the welcome ac
corded to the Pan-American highway
commission when it visited this coun
try last year, the delegates from the
Latin-American republics have pre
sented a bronze tablet to the highway
education board at^Vashlngton. Com
missioner of Education John J. Tlgert
accepted the- tablet for the board. It
was unveiled by Secretary of State
Kellogg.
Road Signs Under Ban ?
Connecticut has taken steps to rid
the highways of signs, posters, bill
boards and other methods of advertis
ing which, when affixed to trees, poles,
rocks or other structures adjoining the
highways, interfere with the vision of
motorists, especially on curves, there
by Increasing the danger of accidents.
The penalty for violation of the act is
$50 fine or Imprisonment of not more
than six months, or both.
Good Roads Facts
Completed federal aid roads now
total 30,535 miles.

Railroad taxation going to highway
purposes is 3.0 per cent of the total
highway bill.

There is a real back-to-the-farm
movement under way. Hard roads
have helped, for they have brought
the farms close to the towns and vil

Gas tax funds in the state of Ohio

Slag, one of the heretofore unused
