That increases Mussolini’s bitterness, with England trying to cause Italy’s defeat by barbarous Ethiopia. Mr. Eden, young foreign secretary, tells England modern conditions are "dreadfully" like conditions before 1914. England must arm herself to the teeth and have, for final objective, “a world-wide system of collective security which embraces all nations In an authority which is unchallenged and unchallengeable.” That might be done by two or three countries closely united, although the airplane makes everything in war uncertain. It might destroy a capital city and an alliance In one morning, as a pistol destroys the strongest man.

News Review of Current Events the World Over Japanese Rebels Slay Four Statesmen and Dictatorship Is Rumored—Hagood's Removal Starts a Row —Vandenberg Won’t Enter the Ohio Primary. By EDWARD W. PICKARD * Western Newspaper Union.

Militarists of Japan, led by a group of young army officers who were impatient with the government’s policy of economy and restraint in the ; matter of advances in Chinn and Mongolia. suddenly staged a revolt in Tokyo with I the avowed purpose ' wSI W"* 1 of < ’ ,in>,natin " liberal MNw w' I statesmen whom they B X' considered obstacles f dHs, to the restoration of ■mC?" a military dictatorwk" « ship under Imperial k rule. Seizing certain government buildings Emperor in the cap j ta j t they Hirohito rushed to the homes of the listed statesmen and succeeded in assassinating sou Admiral Kelsuke Okada; Admiral Viscount Makoto, former premier and lord keeper of the privy seal; Gen. Jotaro Watanabe, chief of military education, and Koreylko Takahashi, finance" minister. Several others were wounded, and servants of all of them were killed. Emperor Hirohito immediately took charge of the situation, called a council of state and made Fumio Goto temporary premier. Martial law was proclaimed In Tokyo and the loyal army forces, largely outnumbering the rebels, surrounded the latter In the buildings they had taken. Meanwhile the second fleet, also loyal,.moved up to the mouth of Tokyo bay, Its guns dominating the city. During the first day of the uprising an agreement was reached that the rebel troops should return to their barracks, but this they refused to do. ' Then the censorship, temporarily raised, was clamped down again. Diplomatic, quarters in Shanghai received a report that Gen. Sadao Arakt. former minister of war, had established a military dictatorship. He has been the most chauvinistic of all Japan's high army officers. Political observers in Tokyo believed that the emperor’s advisers would urge the right wing elements to be given a chance to form a cabinet, to see whether they would be able to conduct the government. Even liberal political sources shared this belief, confident that such an experiment would produce a strong public reaction to the left, permitting early restoration of a normal government. * SENATE and house conferees patched up the new farm bill, snlistitute for the invalidated AAA, both houses accepted the revised measure and it was sent to the White House. Senator Borah argued in vain especially against ! the so-called "consumers'" amendment which authorizes the “re-establishment, at as rapid a rate as the secretary of | agriculture determines to be practicable and in the general public Interest, of the ratio between the purchasing power of the net income per person on farms and the Incomeeper person not i on farms that prevailed during the fiveyear period August. 1900, to Juiy. 1914." Speaking of ’he extraordinary delegation of power to the secretary of agriculture. Senator Borah said: "We are now asked to confer upon him a task which would require omnipotence. It is manifestly on the face of it an absurdity. “Thia Idea that even bydivine power you can go out and equalize the purchasing power of the producer and. equalize the purchasing power of the laborer, when above them both Is a power which is fixing a rule under which they live, is to me inconceivable.” ON THE ground that the seed loan requirements of farmers can be met from relief funds on hand. President Roosevelt vetoed the $50,000,000 crop production bill passed by congress. In his message he called attention to his budget message urging that congress provide additional taxes If It enacted legislation imposing charges not covered tn the budget He said be expected, last year,, that such loans as the seed loan would be tapered off. He realizes they still are necessary but added: “I am fully convinced that the immediate and actual need to which I have referred can be met during the year 1936 by an expenditure of funds materially less than that proposed In the bill under discussion." SUMMARY removal of Maj. (tea.

position and “contempt" toward War department policies in the past, Craig pointed out as “contemptuous" Hagood’s references to CCC activities as "hobbies." “collecting postage stamps” and "taking an interest in butterflies.” Seeking a quick settlement of the controversy. Senator Byrnes, Democrat. ami Representative McSwain, Democratic chairman of the bouse military affairs committee, both of whom hail from Hagood's home state of South Carolina, arranged a conference with Secretary of War Dern. This had no result. SENATOR VANDENBERG of Michigan has formally declined to enter the Ohio Presidential primary, but does not bar himself from consideration for the Republican nomination. Writing to the Republican state committee of Ohio, in reply to an inquiry as to whether he would run, Vandenberg asserted his "sole interest" In the Republican convention was that It should make "the wisest possible decisions respecting both party leadership and part/ 1 policies.” To conform to Ohio law, the Borah forces’ have found the required “second choice." This is Frank E. Gannett of Rochester, N. ¥., publisher of a chain of newspapers, who has agreed to fight alongside the Idaho senator for Ohio's 52 delegates, to receive the votes of those pledged to Borah should the nomination of the latter be blocked in the convention. Mr. Gannett has expressed the belief that Borah is the one memi»er of the party "most likely to recover the upstate New York vote." and he also holds the view that the Idahoan would be the strongest candidate in the agricultural states. WHILE waiting for Instructions as to what to do In the matter of taxation, the memtiers of the house — and many others—directed their attentlon to t * )e tlon of the activities of the Townsend penI sion plan promoters. Jw J!,teaker Bvrnß a P" W pointed on the probing J committee of eight two \ A avowed Townsendites m —John H. T<dan. Dem°crHt ’ and Samue| i * Collins, Republican, ho,l ‘ fro,n t ’ alifoinia - The chairman is J. J. Jasper Bell Jagper P^n ot Mla . souri. Democrat, author of the resolution for the Investigation. It was understood that Mr. Bell t»ad already gathered a mass of information to ■ substantiate the charge that the Townsend plan has become a huge racket. The ieadeVs of bo.h parties in i congress have been ge.tlng rather I nervous over the growth of the Town- [ send movement and are glad to see it attacked; but some lm,»artial observ- : era call attention to the fact that the , way the committee is going after it smacks of unconstitittonal abrldgeI ment of the right to petition. It was expected tha: one of the first questions to be considered by the committee would be the salaries received by Dr. Francis E. Townsend, author of tbe scheme, and R, E. Clements, former California real estate operator, co-founder and general manager. Clements has revealed to newspaper reporters that he and Doctor Townsend receive salaries of SIOO a week each from OARP—the old age ? revolving pension organization—and SSO a week each from the Townsend national weekly, which claims a circulation of 250.000. Congressman John Steven McGroarty, California’* "poet laureate." says the Towosendltes will control tbe bouse of representatives at the next session, and adds: "They have built up the largest political organization in the history of America, with 10 million enrolled members. If you Include those who have signed petitions favoring the Townsend plan the number 1* increased to 30 million. By November it will be twice this large.

GOV. EUGENE TALMADGE Is vtotually financial dictator of Georgia, because the general assembly did not enact an appropriation bill, but he is haring his troubles finding funds to carry on. He declared there was a "plan hatched, in Washington" to hamper him, and ousted State Treasurer George Hamilton and Controller General William Harrison for refusal to honor treasury warrants. Hamilton removed all the money from the treasury vault to a bank. Three state departments provided funds for temporary operation of fiscal affairs. Then depository banks, the United States post office and the state’s attorney general took a hand. Mall addressed to the suspended officers was Impounded, cutting off the flow of tax remittances; all but one of the depository banks refused to honor state checks pending a court decision on tbe legal status of de facto officials; and Attorney General M. J. Yeomans, once cited by Taimadge as an authority for his declared his position had been misinterpreted. DEATH took from the scene two men prominent in national life— Albert Cabell Ritchie, governor of Maryland for four terms, and Henry Latrobe Roosevelt, assistant secretary of | the navy and distant I cousin of the I’resldent. Mr. Ritchie was | : a leader among conservative Democrats, B from the start a de- I termined foe of na- I tlonal prohibition, and | . in 1932 a candidate for the Presidential noml na 11 o n by bls party. Though beaten A ' R**®* l ** out by F. D. Roosevelt, he had the satisfaction of seeing bi* repeal plank put into the Democratic platform. Os late he had been an outspoken critic of the New Deal policies, for be wa* a champion of state rights. Henry L. Roosevelt was the fifth member of his family to- serve as assistant secretary of rhe navy, and in recent months be had played an in- ' creasingly important part in the afi fairs of the department, acting a* secretary during the illness of Secretary Swanson. He was a student in the naval academy class of 1909, but left before graduation to become a second lieutenant in the marine corpa, in which service be rose to the of I colonel. He was burled in Arlington : National cemetery with full military rites after funeral ceremonies that were attended by President Roosevelt and many other high officials. POLITICAL conditions In Puerto Rico, notoriously unsatisfactory, may be rectified as a result of the assassination in San Juan of E. Francis Riggs, chief of the Insular police, and a district police chief. Riggs, a former United States army colonel, was shot by two Nationalists; two hours later District Police Chief Francisco Velez N. Ortiz attempted to put down a Nationalist riot at Utuado and was killed. Gov. Blanton Wipship announced that a full Inquiry int® the incidents would be energetically pushed. Deploring the slaying of Riggs as "dastardly," be asserted a revival of capital punishment and a ban against carrying of firearms, being urged upon the legislature, would prevent such crimes. The assassins of Riggs were caught and admitted the killing, saying It was. In revenge for the Rio Pedras “massacre" in which police killed four Nationalists last November. While being questioned, the murderers, the police said, reached for guns and were shot to death. DEVELOPMENTS in Washington lead to the belief that the Copeland ship subsidy bill has been abandoned.

NATIONAL TOPICS INTERPRETED NATIONAL PRESS BLDG. WASHINGTON. O.C. I

I ' Washington.—Congress, again, has ' given a fine Illustration of how a horse goes up to the Jump. Neutrality t h e n falls to take It. a Shell R faltered on the neutrality question. True, congress has re-enacted for another year the neutrality law that was put through under pressure a year ago but it did not have the necessary courage to go into that question and work out anything of a permanent ' character. The result, I am convinced, Is that as soon as there is any excuse whatsoever, neutrality for the United States will be nothing but a shell. I do not know, nor do I believe anybody can tell at this Juncture whether the United States ought to embark on a rigid policy of isolation from affairs of the world but that is a question that is subordinate at this moment The point is that congress, a year ago, made a great show of neutrality and put on a second stage performance only lately with the same theme song. Since It has backed away \from the real issue it begins to appear that the original action was but hollow mockery; that the politicians moved a year ago with the thought In mind that they would not have to go on record so soon and that they could make the country feel it had elected statesmen. But, Instead, their course has led them to the point wliere a decision had to be made—and they have dodged it One of the reasons why this neutrality question has become so important is the combination of circumstances that has developed In Europe. Those maneuvers have put our congress on the spot and it, like so many previous times, again lias wavered. It is difficult to forecast what is going to happen in Europe but there are certain signs and portents that may not be Ignored. History, as we all know, has a habit of repeating itself and It promises to repeat itself in a hurry this time. Let us look at the European picture. On the one hand we have an alignment of France and England and probably Russia. On the other, we see Hitlerized Germany. Austria and Italy. There has been nothing more tangible thus far than a baring of fangs. That is, no overt acts have been committed but It always has been the case that the snarling and showing of teeth has provided the setting, the atmosphere, sos more serious accusations. It may never happen that Germany or Austria or Italy will take steps which France or Russia could regard as an invasion of national rights and then, again, any one of them at. any time may accidentally or deliberately do some minor thing that would provoke hostilities. • • ♦ Tbe chief significance of the reported alignment of Italy with Germany and Austria is New that tbe Central Alignment Powers. as they stood In 1914, have been augmented by the strength of Fascist Italy. It means that the Germany of 1914 has access to the North sea and the Mediterranean instead of jv.st the North sea as occurred 20 years ago. Coupled with that fact Is the condition of a better defense for the Central Powers. If the agreement between Germany and Italy sticks, Germany has only the western and Russian front* to maintain. It allows for a more compact military program because, instead of guarding against Italy on the south. Germany baa an ally in that direction from which sources of supply can be established. Tbe fresh understandings worked out between France and England really are nothing more than a restoration of the arrangement that existed in the World war. The British, on the surface at least, have no compact with Russia but the French have * very definite agreement with the Soviet. It seems likely, therefore, that if hostilities should break out again, the British and the Soviet will have no difficulty in establishing a pact of mutual help. As a sidelight. It seems to me that the new developments rather tinn th? spotlight on the policies of Pierre Laval, former French foreign mlnis- ’ ter. M. Laval, it will be remembered, i was ousted because of alleged pro- ! Italian policies. He sought for months t to maintain friendship between France j and Italy because he feared to do otherwise would result in alignment of ’ Mussolini with Hitler. The bulk of | the French parliament disagreed with I him. however, and M. taval was replaced by Foreign Minister Flandin. Now. Europe has seen the prompt desertion of Mussolini from tbe French side and hi* alignment with Hitter. So, the old picture has been put i together again in Europe with tbe only . change being the placement of Italy I on the opposite aide of tbe fence from ] where that nation stood in 1914. But let not the fact that the alignment differs only because of Italy’s position be minimized. It Is the most important of the combination that has developed in Europe. • * • The new situation, insofar aa Great Britain Is concerned, means that in case of a clash In France Backs the Mediterranean Rrtomt between the force* of Mussolini and the British there will be French support. It means, therefore, that Mussolini hardly dare disturb the concentration of British warships around the Suez. To do so would call down upon his head not only tbe shell* of tbe British fleet but those of the French as welt For the French, the revived understanding with Great Britain give* sup-

port against tbe alow flow of Hitter j lava Into the Rhineland which was demilitarized by the Treaty of Versailles at the end of the World war. The French are very touchy about the Rhineland and any attempt by Orman y to fortify that territory m.-ikHi French nerves very jittery. It I* only natural, then, that the French look upon the agreement with tondon as an assurance of security In event Hitler should strike in the Rhlnpland. Through It all. foreign advices tn fficate that British fist* are gradually being doubled up against Hitler. This is true notwithstanding the fact that the new King Edward VIII is trying to be friendly with Germany. Foreign dispatches and private advice* explain that there Is a notable recurrence among the British of discussion recalling Germany atrocities In the World war. Slowly but surely throughout England the old hatred is arising. On the northern frontier of Germany there Is a new line of steeL The Communistic staje of Russia looks with disfavor upon the Nazi. My information is that it would take very little to provoke trouble there. Altogether, the situation is one where, if a stone rolls down a mountain side, it could very easily become the detonation cap that would explode an ammunition dump. With these facts In mind, one can understand readily the gravity of the relations between the United States and the rest of the world. One can understand as well why congress was rather anxious to avoid legislation of a broader scope in international affairs than already was operative. Yet, this does not alter the fact that if congress had no Intention of establishing a real neutrality policy, it should not have embarked on a course designed to that end. It was either engaging in a game of fooling the public a year ago or It has just now demonstrated a most cowardly attitude. • • • Now, to get back home, we observe a maneuver by President Roosevelt to link North and Roosevelt’s South American naManeuver tions lnto a new agreement While none of our officials will say that this move has any connection with European development I believe that observers generally are of the opinion that It has an important bearing on the situation beyond the Atlantic. It » ought to be helpful In keeping the United States out of that mess or, if the future forces us into It and, in the meantime, there is a sound arrangement. worked out between nations of the western hemisphere, their combined strength ought to put an end to European strife more quickly than if those European nations were left to fight ft out alone. In other words, if Mr. Roosevelt can work out a binding agreement between all the nations of the western hemisphere, they can exert a tremendous Influence. This Influence will carry further than on the homeland of any of the countries now involved in the European case of jitters. It possibly may extend to the point of becoming the balance of power in the settlement of colonial disputes between the central powers and the newly re-established allies. European Interests in South America are Important and if our South American neighbors have the Important weight of the United States on their side, they will be In a position, for the first time, to force proper adjustment of colonial rights In the western hemisphere Insofar as those colonial rights are- concerned In settlement of European differences. 0 Waatarn Newspaper Union. Ladysmith** Defense Wa* Achievement of Boer War At the beginning of the Boer war tbe main effort of tbe Boers was an invasion of Natal and Cape Colony, observes a writer In the Detroit News. Tbe number of British troops in South < Africa was only about 22,000 and half ( of these were In Natal uuder the command of Sir George White, whose i headquarters were at Ladysmith. By I November. 1880. that city was under siege by the Boers; reinforcements from Great Britain under General Buller made repeated attempts to raise the siege but It was not until the end of February that relief came. According to one authority: “The successful defense of tadysmlth was from a military point of view the most valuable achievement j of the war. inasmuch as the loss of a garrison of < 12.000 men would have been a graver disaster than any conceivable defeat In the open field; and moreover the fall of Ladysmith was to be tbe signal for the general rising of the Dutch in the Cape Colony and Natal." Queen Victoria, who died on January 22. 1901, before the war’s end, was greatly interested In the campaign, visiting the wounded, hearing tbe reports of Lord Roberts and other generals, going to Dublin to thank the Irish people for their support, etc. Tta Baobab Tree The baobab tree us Africa belong* to the family of silk cottons. All members of this family are tropical trees, often having large flowers, palmate leaves and pods with seeds embedded to pithlike tissues, or supplied with woolly or silky fibrous covering. _ Many are very large, like tbe baobab. The baobab has a peculiar distinctive shape, the top of its foliage being leveled off on an almost horizontal plane. Belonging to the same family are species of trees which produce kapok, used In upholstery and the manufacture of life preservers, and balsa, the famous featherweight wood.
