TREATY OF 1922 IS HELD KEY TO CHINA CONFLICT Gives Dawes Conciliatory Authority Lacking in Kellogg Pact. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Beripi>*>Horard Fnrrirn Editor WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—While the great powers are milling about apparently vastly puzzled over a ways and means to co-operate to head off the Chinese-Japanese war in Manchuria, gathering dust in the archives of the state department here is a key to the whole thing. , “The treaty on Chinese integrity,” is the official title of a document formally signed and sealed here in February, 1922, its avowed object bring to prevent any of the signatories from doing precisely what Japan now Is doing to China. The popular name for the treaty is the nine-power pact. It was signed by United States, Japan, Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Holland and Portugal, in addition to China. Presented at the sixth plenary session of the Washington conference of 1921-22 by Charles Evans Hu'.'hes, then secretary of state, now chief justice of the United States, it was based on an original resolution prepared by Elihu Root, a former secretary of state. Gave China Guarantees Its purpose being to help China get on her feet, it begins like this: “Desiring to adopt a policy designed to stabilize conditions in the far east, to safeguard the rights and interests of China, and to promote intercourse between China and the other powers upon the basis of equality of opportunity . . . the contracting powers, other than China agree: 1. To respect the sovereignty, the independence, and the territorial and administrative integrity of China. 2. To provide the fullest and most unembarrassed opportunity to China to develop and maintain for herself an effective and stable government. 2. To use their influence for the purpose of effectually establishing .and maintaining the principle of equality of opportunity for the commerce and industry of all nations throughout the territory of China. 4. To refrain from taking advantage of conditions in China in order to seek special rights or privileges which would abridge the rights of subjects or citizens of friendly states, and from countenancing action inimical to the security of such states.” Opportunity for Dawes Such is the text of Article 1, the heart of the treaty. There are nine articles in all, mostly by way of further clarification of the foregoing. Article 7, however, tells what is to be done in case of trouble. It reads: “The contracting powers agree that, whenever a situation arises which, in the opinion of any one of them, involves the application of the stipulations of the present treaty, and renders desirable discussion of such application, there shall be full and frank communication between the contracting powers concerned.’” If Ambassador Dawes feels that his “presence at the meetings of the council would not only be inappropriate, but might embarrass the efforts of the council," a full quorum of the above nine power treaty membmership today is within a ten-minute taxicab ride from General Dawes’ Paris hotel. Clause Lacking in New Pact The Briand-Kellogg pact, signed in Paris Aug. 27, 1928, unlike the nine power treaty, contains no “consultative” clause. Artice 1 of the pact of Paris reads: “The high contracting parties solemnly declare in the names of their respective peoples that they condemn recourse to war for the solution of international controversies, and renounce it as an instrument of national policy in their relations with one another.” Practically every nation on earth now has signed the above pledge— Japan bring one of the original signers in the Hall of the Clock of ti*e Quay D’ Orsay, the French foreign office where, oddly enough, the league council now is sitting. NEGRO KILLED IN BRAWL Police Hold Suspect Identified by Victim as His Assailant. Sheldon Brents, Negro, 27, of 423 South Ritter avenue, died early today in city hospital from bullet wounds received Friday night when he was shot in a drunken brawl.

City Hall ‘Put Up Around Me, ’ Veteran Grins

Charles P. Culley

Oldest city employe in years of service, but the ycungest in spirit. That is Charles P. Culley, 76, of 1302 North Keystone avenue, assistant engineer in the sewer department, who in a few weeks will have finished his twenty-eighth year in the city hall. Yet, not altogether at the city hall, for Charley Culley was a city employe back in the days when there was no city hall. Then he entered public work under Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter, all city officials were located in the Marion county courthouse basement. Known for his good nature, Culley will tell you: “I was on the spot, and they built the present city hall around me. That’s how long I’ve been here.” Ask him how old he is and he will reply he doesn’t feel old enough “to play golf yet.” “Never, never worry . . . always keep your good nature ... go to bed early and get plenty of rest and you’ll stay young and happy,” he says. “Just act young all the time and try to feel young. If you see something you want to kick, why just kick, don’t be too proud,” is his philosophy. The Culley family has been in politics a long time. Daniel B. Culley, Charlie’s father, was first city clerk, 1853 to 1854, while his grandfather, David V. Culley was city councilman, 1849 to 1853.

PASTORS TO BE LEGION6UESTS Ministers Will Be Invited to 1932 Convention. One outstanding minister from every church denomination in tho United States will be invited to be a guest of the American Legion at its 1932 convention in Portland. Ore., Henry L. Stevens Jr., national commander, told department commanders, adjutants and service officers at closing sessions of the national meeting here Friday. Ministers will be asked to attend committee deliberations as well as general sessions, “so they may become living affidavits to the real service that the legion is carrying on.” The legion’s request for a nationwide referendum on the prohibition question is at the foot of preferential legislation incorporated into the 1932 program, Stevens pointed out. “We have kept faith with convention action and have done our duty when the national legislative committee lays in the hands of the congressional committees the resolution of the national convention." Stevens said.
