A ,pro'ljinia1ion Issued early In the wei‘k said In part: • . “The gavernment headed ,hy Doctor Vargas will direct the republic of Brazil without any promises and In accordance'with the program of the I.iheral niilance.- The duration of Doc tor Vargas’ government, which will he ns coiiKtIlutloiial a-s possible, will be 1 -for an.iiiideternilned period) until the IHtblit life of Brazil has been recon structed.” , The Hnal hours of the revolution ..were marked b.v consldenible violence anil disorder.

W ITll utiderstnndnble Intllgnntlon President Hoover denounced as “Infamotv*" the oil shale land charges made agHinsl the Department of the Interior b.v Ralph S. Kelley who was • an emitloyec of the land ottice, which charges were deidared unfounded by the Deiuirtnuuit of Justice after an Investigation.

'*Si~ a piece oT Journalism It may well he that the newspaper Involved was' misled,” went on the President. ‘It certainly does not represent the praotlces of belter .\merlcan Journal ism.

They raised qiie.stlona which SeenuM to the World at the time and still Seem to the World to call for ex haustive liivestignllon. The only In vestigation which they have had Is a brlnf survey Into S**crctar.v Wilbur’s department comliicted by an agent of ope of Secretary Wilbur's e-illeiigiies In Mr. Hoover’s cabinet.

Such an agency Is the public lands committee of the senate. It is quite apparent that the public lands committee will Initiate an Inves tigation as soon ns congress meets. It will he time then, we suggest to Mr, Hoover, to determine precisely how •reckless, baseless, and Infamous’ Mr. Kelley's charges are.” C OINCIDING with the celebration of Navy day in ttie United Stales, the London three-power naval treaty was put into effect with the formal de positing of the ratifleationa of the sig natory powers In the British foreign ollice. Prime Minister McDonald, Korelgn Minister Henderson, American Amhnsandor Dawes and Jupanese Ain- hnssador Matsiidalra took part In the ceremony, while the ‘"'reneh and Italian ambassadors looked on. To mark the event, ITesident Hoover and the prime ministers of Great Britain and Japan exchanged felicitations, which were broadcast to the world by radio. .Mr. Hoover expressed the hope that the limitations effected at London would be followed soon by furtlier reduc tions In naval armaments; and both Ir* and Mr. MacDonuld urged rrance and Italy to an agreement so the pact can be made u five-power treaty. F RANCO-ITAI.IAN relations were not Improved during tlie week, for I'remier Mussolini took advantage of the eighth anniversary of the march of the Fascistl on Rome to Indulge In another of his provocative attacks on his neIgtUiors. He said Fascls* Italy Is surrounded b.v enemies and that a state of “moral warfare” al ready has been declared against It in nrepnratlon for military war, He dis played a little hook In which, he said, "is noted down the day by day military preparations of 11)27, Il)'28. ITJH and 11)30 ngnln.st Ital.v. long before m.v speeches nt Legliorn. Florence and Milan. Here is a complete list of bat teries placed, forts constructed and armaments created and put in place.” This, of Course, referred to the tormidahle chain of fortresses and niHChlne gun nests which the French are constructing on their easttrn frontier, recently described In dis oiitcbes from Paris. In the course of his speech the duee clearl.v revealed the fact that Italy has lined up with the nations that were its enemies In the World war In their demand that the peace treaties be revised and the Lengne of Nations covenant be re shaped. ^ FlfMANY’S Fascists In thereichs- tug met with defeat when the foreign affairs committee rejected-their motions demanding that Germany can cel the Versailles treaty and immedi ately cense all reparations under the Young plan.

For a week more deputations from other niitlims and tourists from niaiiy lands hud been gathering and the state and religious olMclals bad been preparing for the great event. Ras Tnfnri spent S2,000,000 of his own money for crowns, robes, car riages. triumphal arches and other paraidiernalla. and the expenditures of the government were as much, so there was no lack of splendor or en tertainment.
