CHINA FIRM IN DECISION TO CANCEL RIGHTS Extraterritoriality Comes to End .lan. 1 ; See Confusion of Enforced By D. C. Bess United Press Staff Correspondent Peiping., Jan. 7- (UP) —Thej National Government adhe r e s firmly to Its decision, announced In September, to abolish the extraterritorial system Jan. 1. The special rights held by Americans and other foreigners in China thereby will be automatically cancelled. So far a« Americans are concerned. an American official here declares that this action will “create an Impasse which will cause diplomatic embarrassment for a long time *o route,” because the American government does not recognite the right of the Chinese government to abolish ex-; traterritorlality except by a treaty to which the American government is a party. Confusion Foreseen From Jan. 1, therefore, the situation will be greatly confused for American residents in China. The Chinese government will claim that Americans are Subject to Chinese courts in both criminal and civil cases. The American government will claim for its | citizens the right to be tried in i American consular courts in which I they are defendants. If Chinesel are defendants and Americans ( plaintiffs, the case can be tried In a Chinese court, as it has been |

In the past. A spokesman for the Chinese government has intimated that the dtuatlon will not be so bad ns American officials here fear. He mggests that the Chinese government will abolish extra territoriality, but will not seriously enforce abolition for some time to come. He cites the case of Japan, which the Chinese claim has hud no social rights in China since 1926, when their treaty expired, uni which has not yet been replaced Diplomats here, however, delate that Japan’s position is most I unsatisfactory, and abolition of the special rights o’ other countries will simp y aggravate the evil. They imlnt out that Japanese have refused to be tried in Chinese courts, and have been supported by their government, which refuses to agree that its special , rights are ended. Hold Courts Incompetent “But this simply means chaos," said one American official. "The | Chinese cliim that we have no special rights after Jan. 1, and we] insist that we do. How can any dispute be adjusted under such conditions?" The American government's point of view, which coincides | with that of other countries still holding special rights, is briefly | this: "Chinese courts still are in-1 capable of administering justice according to western standards. Chinese courts are still dominated by military leaders. Chinese i ludges are not free to render impartial decisions. We must retaip our own consular courts in, China until these conditions are changed." The Chinese government’s point iof view is this: "It is an insult I to China to have foreigners tried lin their own courts. Until we can judge foreigners in our own courts China will be considered an inferior nation. We must get con-

| trol of foreign residents In Chinn , before we make any real pro- , 1 gress.” Both sides are convinced their 1 own viewpoint is right. There is ' no Indication that either will yield. Tlie outcome is therefore extremely uncertain. — —o- — ■ - i ♦ ♦ Auction School Notes , * ♦ The students of the school had a very pleasant afternoon at The Homestead Dairy farm. The subject was stock judging. The points of the dairy cow were ably brought out by our very popular instructor, Col. Roy S. Johnson. Most members of the c'ass derived a groat amount of information on the points of the dairy breed, which in I this particular ease were Guernsey I cattle. We have a few boys in our I class wlio are following dairy I farming. These boys learned quite a bit from their less fortunate ' classmates, who probably never saw a dairy cow to such an advan- , tage before. After the lecture each student had the privilege of .selling the cow in question by mock auction. Miss Dorothy | Prase also sold the cow in a cred-1 (table manner. The privilege of this educational feature was due to the courtesy of The Homestead Fairy Co., for which' the class is | most grateful. Additional Class Officers Elected The class held a called meeting i this morning just before school | was opened. The purpose of the meeting was to elect a new vice . president to fill the vacancy made when Mr. Bartel was called away. | The new vice president elected is I. W. Stringer of Salt Lake City, Utah. In addition, a second vice president was elected. This office will lie filed by John B. Dennis of Rosedale, B. C.| Canada. Take Auto Trips Sunday Several of the students who

We now have 18 states and three i-'.iuadtan provinces represented in this class. Seward S. Thompson of Manlius, New York, a graduate of the 1926 class arrived this morning to spend a few days. Mr. John Lathem, of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, an outstanding authority on Pure Bred Hereford cattle, addressed the auction school. His lecture was both Instructive and inspirational. Mr. Latham will be here several days and the class looks forward to his lectures with keen anticipation. o Decatur Chap r 112.

U. S. PROVIDES COLLEGE TERMS TO DEAF MUTES Ask More Teachers For Training School At Washington London, Jan 7—(UP) —A special committee representative of all English parties is now at work to consider the question of ministerial salaries. The committee's work is expected to result in an increased wage for England's ministers. Nine years ago a similar committee recommended that, apart from the Lord Chancellor w'ho receives 10,000 sterling a year, the scale for ministers should be: 12 at 5,000 sterling, four at 3,000 sterling, six at 2,000 sterling, 18 at 1,500 sterling and three at 1,000 sterling. The report was adopted, making ministerial salaries total 121,000 sterling annually. Ministers of successive governments find that the salaries paid do not cover expenses. Officials c.t Whitehall say that it is notorious that most Prime Ministers of this century have left office poorer than they entered it. The case of Ramsay MacDonald is a common one being referred to these days. He receives 5,000 sterling a year. This is brought down to 3,500 sterling by income tax and a super tax. His income Is less than 70 sterling a week. Out of this amount he has to entertain, and pay for the upkeep of 10 Downing street. Luncheons, dinners and receptions which are necessary take a part of this weekly income. All hospitality extended by him is not paid for by the government hospitality committee. Cabinet officials point out the fact that living costs (bare now than it did formerly and that there Is an increased demand on public servants in high offices, —. o Incident Gives Proof of Reason in Insects Students of nature, we ure told are familiar with Instances ot an unimal making efforts to protect another, when in danger. Here is an example: The worm, about five indies long, ras proceeding across a path; the beetle. Jet black ami resembling a caterpillar, was seen running around it and Jumpinv upon It in i state of m-eat anxiety As the observer came near the beetle withdrew to shelter, uni the worn* prr.-eetled on tne path, which was plainly die path of danger But tlie self-sucriticing beetle could not bear to see b fellow creature running such risks. It rushed again to the w.irrn, seized it by tlie head turned It around, and conducted It tenderly to u hole In the ground, Into which, gratefully, we hope, it nt once retreated. That worm on the open pnth might at any moment have been picked up by a keen eyed blackbird it probahly owed Its life ,o the disinterested efforts "f n friertd.—Montreal Famllv Her aid.
