WORLD LEAGUE RENOUNCED BY JIM HAM LEWIS Fought for It Under Wilson, Now Calls It Useless; Assails Court. By United Press TUCSON, Ariz, Jan. 7.—The League of Nations for which he fought a decade ago when he was whip of the senate during President Wilson's administrations, was vigorously renounced by James Hamilton Lewis, senator-elect of Illinois in a speech in which he characterized both the world court end the Kellogg peace pact as useless.” Speaking before the faculty and quests of the University of Arizona, Lewis predicted that by the time the next congress meets, both the court and the peace pact would be abandoned by the nations which signed them, and proposed that the United States adopt anew international policy—that of playing a lone hand with individual nations. "When the new congress meets, both formulas pub forth for either league or world court will be abandoned and denounced by the nations now signatory to the proposals,” Lewis said. “The eleven European nations and the fifteen South and Central American governments that lately have passed to martial dictatorship with imperial rule, now never will consent to be adjusted by a court made up of Democratic nations with Republican rule that abhor tyranny and denounce despotism.” This country, Lewis contended, would best adjust any grievances with foreign countries by summoning each nation assuming the grievance to some agreed place, there to smooth out all differences by arbitration and concession.

Cellar Sprees By United Press CHICAGO. Jan. 7.—Since prohibition, Americans are becoming more and more a race of “basement-dwellers,” said Ray Spitzsley, Detroit, at a conference here of officials of the plumbing and heating industries. Many home owners who entertain frequently are having their basements improved with heating plants and are holding their parties there, said Spitszley, because it is safer to hold them there than in the drawing rooms. Hostesses, he said, have growp weary of having their guests wreck their living rooms and many of them have outfitted their basements to be as attractive as a modern speakeasy.

HOOVER PHONES ADID ADDRESS No Reason to Despond, He Tells Industry Chiefs. By I'nitrd Prrss NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—There is no cause for despondency over the future of the automobile industry, in the opinion of President Hoover. "I am informed,” he said in a telephoned address to a dinner of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce here Tuesday night, "that consumption of gasoline during the last year shows an increase of 5 per cent over even the highly optimistic year of 1929. “This certainly means we have been cheerful in the use of our automobiles. I do not assume they are being used for transportation to the poorhouse.” The President said that inasmuch as one out of every ten persons in this country depend for their livelihood directly or indirectly upon the automobile industry, ‘‘the prosperity of the industry is in the anxious thoughts of the nation” and has the best wishes of every one. An audience of 1,200 automobile executives heard the address, which was amplified through loud speakers in the hall. •A significant factor which must not be overlooked in considering the present economic situation is that 40.000,000 people regularly are employed today as against 30,000,000 after the 1921 depression, Julius 11. Barnes, chairman of the national business survey conference, told the guests. WORRY CAUSES SUICIDE New Township Trustee Hangs Self at Home in Mulberry.

DOLE SYSTEM DEFENDED BY LIOYDGEORGE Revolution Long Ago If Not for Money to Jobless, Says Leader. BY ARTHUR F. DEGREVE, United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Jan. 7.—England's sys-' tem of unemployment insurance, the “dole” which has been criticised severely by economists and political opponents of the Labor government, has found a supporter in David Lloyd George, Liberal party leader. “Except for the dole, we would have had a revolution long ago,” Lloyd George said in an address at Barmouth. “The dolg is the best insurance out. “The system is humane. We have no right to see one man starving through no fault of his own as long as the nation has a crust in its cupboard to’ spare.” He said that Britain was spending $500,000,000 annually on the dole during the worst depresison since the Napoleonic wars, but called the expenditure a good investment. Other defenders of the dole have called it a safeguard against any possibility of revolt among Britain’s 2,000,000 unemployed. A hungry man, they argue, is a potential criminal. It is contended that the dole, however small, is sufficient to insure the recipient against hunger and severe privation. Opponents of the dole deprecate the thought of a British revolution. They argue the very conservative nature of the Briton would prevent him from revolting, despite the situation here which still lends itself to an uneven distribution of the nation’s wealth. REDUCED COSTS URGED AS FARMER RELIEF Years Business Ills Make 1930 Worst Since 1905. Bn Scripps-TJoicard newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Despite the extravagant operations of the new federal farm board, the Amicaren farmer suffered his worst year in a quarter century in 1930, according to an official estimate of the agriculture department. The drought, combined with the business depression, the falling off of export trade and the recovery of European agriculture, socked the farmer in the econmic eye in such fashion that even his warmest defenders in congress are wondering just how he is to be put back on his feet. With agriculture finding itself worse off at the end of every year since 1920, the bureau of agricultural economics advises today that the most promising program for 1931 is that each farmer shall undertake a vigorous personal Campaign to “reduce production costs.”

BILL PREPARED TO RAISE POOR RELIEF FUNDS Emergency Measure Would Permit Borrowing of Money. Drafting of an emergency bill which would provide a revenue for county poor relief will be considered Friday at an organization meeting of Marion county legislators, it was announced today. County, state and township officials and citizens interested in the relief subject, meeting Tuesday afternoon at the courthouse, were told by Representative Gerrett M. Bates (Dem., Marion) that the emergency condition will be studied by Democratic and Republican members of the general assembly. Harry Dunn, county auditor, presiding over a group of almost three score, said that about $1,000,000 will have to be raised this year by taxation if relief work is to be continued at its present scale. The fund now is overspent about $132,000, necessitating an immediate temporary loan. Under terms of an act proposed by Dunn, money borrowed would be repaid to the county by th* various townships in proportion to the amount used, by direct tax levy in 1932. The levy would take care of present indebtedness. Charles Remster, attorney and tax expert, told the delegation the situation can not be met without special action by the legislature. Dunn appointed a committee to assist in drafting of the emergency bill. Members are: Emsley W. Johnson, attorney, representing township trustees: Walter Owens, representing the state board of tax commissioners: William H. Book. Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce: Harvey A. Grabill, county attorney, and David Liggett, secretary of the Indianapolis Community Fund.
