GRAHAM SPEAKS ON ARMISTICE Rev.R.W.Graham Speaks At American Legion Observance “For God and country we associate ourselves togatlier to uphold and defend the constitution, to maintain law and order," thus spoke the Rev. R. W. Graham last night at the Armistice Day banquet. held in the Legion home in reminding the Legionnaires of their pledge to defend the constitution. “The world today is farther from the spirit of democracy than when we entered the World War," the I Rev. Graham stated, “despite the enormous suffering, bloodshed and huge sums of money spent to make the world safe for democracy." Speaking on the preamble of the constitution of the American Legion, Rev. Graham assailed the Communistic and Fascist activities, stating that “it is not a question of whether we will choose Com I tnunism or Fascism, but whether we will continue to unite in furthering the interests of the republic in a democratic form of government." Speaking of the European nations at war for more power, the Rev. Graham stated that “either ■ the loss of religion or the sanctionI ing of a perverted belief robs hui inanity of the glowing quality that makes men and women strive for greater achievements and lifts them from a place as a mere cog in the machinery of state." “America was born of an ideal--lis tic faith — our constitution was born of an idealistic faith—we responded to that idealistic spirit when we entered the World War land today we must again respond iin the interests of democracy, by banding ourselves together in elevating the ideals for which we have fought," the speaker stated. The banquet was opened with 1 the singing of America and Ed Baui er, post chaplain offered the prayer War songs and patriots tunes were sung during the banquet, served by I the ladies of the auxiliary. Singing of the Star Spangled Banner closed the program so rthe event. C. E. Striker, county school supI erintendent. acted as toastmaster and introduced Ralph E. Roop.

"I guess it’s going to be my neck,” Dalhover said as he waited to be taken into court. “When 1 1 go there will be only one left." He referred to Charles Geisking. another Brady gangster now serving a sentence in the Ohio peni-1 tentiary.

Prof. Cordier, nationally famous lecturer, spoke from personal observations, having visited with the Italian ruler in a three hour visit. Cordier stated tliat Musso’ini's [most outstanding characteristic is his ego. Describing the Italian-as an unusually egotistical person, he stated that Mussolini was adapted [to posing, always endeavoring to [ present his more important self. A hit of hypocrisy was cited by tiie speaker on the part of Mussolini. whom, he stated .worked but three hours on a farm, stripped to the waist, to earn the title of “Italy's greatest farmer.” Some of Mussolini’s characteristics and hobbies listed by the speaker, included sports, writing, and I playing a violin. The speaker des- , cribed II Duce as a versatile per--1 sonality. The speaker also talked to the students relative to the commemoration of national education week.

Mr. Roosevelt indicated that the 1 nature of the housing legislation — probably amendments to the, , present federal housing act has not been determined definitely. He conferred with his house and senate lieutenants on major points |of the session's schedule. Diffi ' culties over farm control legislation appeared to lie easing. A pro- ' posal was advanced that compuV sory control features for cotton and tobacco demanded by south-[ ; ern groups lie added to the pro- , posed farm bill as a separate section. However, delays in completing | the farm hili probably will result I in government reorganization comI ing up as the first measure of the session.

Conferees Abandon Plan For “Final Appeal” To .Japan; May Denounce Present Treaty. APPEAL USELESS Brussels, Nov. 12—(U.R? The far eastern conference, snubbed by Japan, decided today to give Tokyo the cold shoulder and abandon a plan for a "final appeal" giving Japan "one more chance" to make peace with China. Japan rejected the conference's peace offers for the second time and the powers considered a "final appeal" backed by an international threat to aid China if Japan refuses to reconsider. They decided instead to prepare a statement giving a summary of the conference's efforts to get Japan to enter peace negotiations, and to send a copy to Japan as a signatory of the nine-power treaty. The delegates felt an appeal would be useless and appear ridiculous in view of Japan's uncompromising reply. The conference will meet tomorrow for an informal exchange of views on the Japanese reply. Yvon Delbos ot France and others will make formal statements on the reply. The conference’s next step will be to move to re-establish peace, perhaps by direct aid to China, thus putting collective pressure on Japan. * Reject Invitation Tokyo, Nov. 12— (U.R; —Japan, driving toward victory on all fronts in China and strengthened, by Italy's adhesion to the Japan-ese-German anti-communist alliance, rejected today a second invitation to attend the far eastern i [ieace conference at Brussels. There were unofficial reports that the government might follow up its action by demanding revision of. or even denouncing, the nine power treaty under which the Brussels conference was convoked to discuss measures to end the Japanese Chinese war The cabinet met today and de- [ tided to reject the invitation. Foreign Minister Koki Hirota went to the imperial palace to inform Emperor Hirohito. The government informed the Brussels conference that its present action in China was purely in self defense and hence entirely outside the scope of the nine power treaty. The entire incident should be settled by direct Chin-ese-Japanese negotiations only, it was asserted. This second invitation was sent in the name of the 19 nations attending the Brussels conference. These nations are either signatory or adherent to the nine power treaty which is supposed to guarl antee China’s political and territorial sovereignty and integrity. Previously the government had rejected an invitation from the government of Belgium, as host, to attend. Foreign Minister Hirota instructed Japanese Ambassador Saburo Kurusu at Brussels to convey the government's rejection of the new (CONTINUED ON PAGE SEVEN) o NELLIE YOUNG TO SPEAK HERE Children's Worker To Speak At U.
