Members of skilled laborers’ crafts have been called to a mass meeting in the World War Memorial build- ing at 7:30 o'clock Monday night to appoint committees to call on Gover- nor William Langer and to endeavor to bring the Lundoff-Bicknell com- Pany, contractors, and the common laborers into agreement. In a resolution adopted Monday afternoon, representatives of ters, iron workers, bricklayers, hoist- ing engineers and electricians de- clared they were not in sympathy with the strike and desired to get back to work under existing contracts immediately.

MORGAN WILL FAGE SENATE PROBE OR saze’ BUSINESS AFFAIRS Big Banker Called As Witness Before Finance Investi- gating Commi Washington, May 22—(7)—J. P. Morgan himself, long regarded by the public as a Gibraltar of American finance, Tuesday will be called to the witness stand of the senate banking committee to face penetrating in- vestigation of his business affairs, A staff of nearly half a hundred investigators, headed by Ferdinand Pecora, counsel for the committee, was assigned Monday to a final scru- tiny of the data on which Morgan will be questioned. Accustomed to sensational senate investigations, the capital neverthe- less experienced a tingle of excite- ment over the inquiry. Morgan’s appearance will mark the first time a head of the huge private banking firm has appeared before such a group since his father testified a generation ago in the fa- mous Pujo “money trust” inquiry. Pecora and Chairman Fletcher of the banking committee have lined up a dozen or more of the best known members of the Morgan firm, all un- der subpoena to testify after their chief. They, too, will be questioned upon material marshaled by the more than two score attorneys, ants and investigators who have had access to the J. P. Morgan and Com- pany books.

POSITION ON WORLD | PEACE IN ADDRESS 1 Says Government Willing to Consult With Others in Event of Breach PROMISES TO COOPERATE Doctrine Considered By League Experts to Be Abandon- ment of Old Policy Geneva, May 22.—(—The United j States, through Norman H. Davis, told the nations of the world Monday she would consult with them when Peace is menaced and if she agrees with them as to identity of the ag- ressors will refrain from any action of a nature to hinder collective ef- forts to restore peace. This doctrine, considered by League of Nations circles as an abandonment ot America’s traditional policy of iso- lation was announced by Davis to the disarmament conference in an eager- ly-awaited speech Monday afternoon. The doctrine was taken to mean that when the nations take punitive measures against an aggressor the United States, if it agrees to the iden- tity of the aggressor, will not insist upon the rights of neutrality. Advocates Control System Davis also announced that the Unit- ed States advocates a system of con- trol and supervision of armaments and said that American readiness to par- ticipate in measures for this control would be effective, automatic and permanent. Inferentially opposing a brusk re- vision of treaties, the American am- bassador-at-large urged the mainten- ance of the territorial status quo. He revealed that his country de- fines an aggressor as one whose arm- ed forces are found upon foreign ter- ritory in violation of treaties. He also announced that the United | States is opposed to the rearmament of any nation and declared in favor of the abolition of offensive arms. He reiterated American acceptance of Premier Ramsay MacDonald’s re- cent disarmament proposals. Turning to the Versailles Treaty and its consequences, Davis expressed the conviction that there is a contrac- tural obligation for armed nations to reduce their armaments to a defen- | sive level which would be comparable to the level to which the vanquished powers were obliged to reduce their armaments by the peace treaties. Condemns Armed Invasion He referred to President Roosevelt's proposal for an international agree- forces outside national territory and then gave his definition of an ag- gressor nation as in line with that pro- 1. “To cut the power of offense and remove the threat of surprise attack would do more than anything else to lessen the danger of war,’ Davis said. “If substantive reductions in arma- ments are effected, he continued, the United States is prepared to contrib- ute in other ways to the organization of peace. ‘In particular,” he explained, “we are willing to consult the other states in case of a threat to peace with a view to averting conflict | “In particular,” he explained, “we jare willing to consult with other states in case of a threat to peace with the view of averting conflict. “Further than that, in the event that the states in conference deter- mine that a state has been guilty of @ breach of the peace in violation of its international obligation and take measures against the violator, then, if we concur in the judgment render- Jed as to the responsible and guilty party, we will refrain from any {tion tending to defeat such collec- tive effort which the states may thus make to restore peace.” Members of the League of Nations interpreted the Davis statement to mean that the United States would respect a blockade by league powers against a nation responsible for an outbreak of war. PRESIDENT EAGERLY WAITS WORLD REACTION Washington, May 22.—(/)—Presi- dent Roosevelt and his associates on the vital arms question awaited with eagerness, for the international re- action to the American position as enunciated at Geneva, by the Ameri- can ambassador-at-large, Norman H. Davis. Marshal at Streeter | Dies From Injuries Jamestown, N. D., May 22.—(7)— Anton Meisch, 52, village marshal at Streeter, died in a hospital here Sun- day night from injuries suffered when he was struck by an automobile driv- en by Albert Weisser of Streeter. Weisser is being held in the Stutsman county jail on $2,000 bonds. Meisch came to the United States from Russia in 1903, serving as a rail- road section foreman at La Moure for 12 years.

Another 300,000,000 or more is to be knocked off the federal bills by the program so that, with the veter- ans’ cuts and other savings already made, the president will be able to make good the campaign pledge of cutting government expenditures 25 Per cent, a round billion dollars, The weeks of careful work put in- to this task by Lewis W. Douglas, budget director, resulted in a draft which he put before Roosevelt Sun- day on a lazy, restful cruise of the yacht Sequoia down the Potomac to Port Tobacco, Maryland. The president's survey is to be fol- lowed by a final redrafting. The re- organization will cut thousands of federal jobs and will reach into every government department. The post- office is to reduce $150,000,000, the department of commerce $10,000,000; even the labor department $3,000,000. Army and navy are to experience substantial cuts. In addition the program is expect- ed to carry some realignment of functions.

Y., May 22.—(4)—Joseph W. Harriman, banker whose quest for death proved vain, may have to raise new bail or go to jail to await trial on charges of falsifying his bank’s books. ‘Two agents of a bonding company stood guard Monday over the hospital room where the founder of the Harri- man National Bank and Trust com- pany is recovering from a stab wound he inflicted on himself after vanish- ing from a Manhattan nursing home. They said that, acting under an 180-year old judicial ruling, they would seize him as soon as he is well, take him before a federal judge and demand that his $25,000 bail be in- validated. The ruling provides that ‘8 bailed person is the prisoner of those who stand his surety. Harriman was originally to go to trial Monday for what the government calls a falsification amounting to more than $1,000,000 but his attorney said he had obtained prosecution con- sent for a week’s adjournment.

Changchun, Manchuria, May 22.— Belief that peace will be established soon in the north China war zone was coupled Monday by Lieut. Gen. Kun- iaki Koiso, chief of staff of Japan- ese continental armies, with the warn- ing that if Chinese leaders “in their folly” challenge an invasion of Peip- ing and Tientsin, the Japanese were fully prepared. “Peaceful intentions” must be prov- ed, the general declared, before nego- tiations for any cessation of hostilities, Present lines east and north of Peip- ing, we will retire to the great wall,” he asserted. “We desire to occupy neither Peiping nor Tientsin nor a single foot of other Chinese territory. “The sole aim of our advances south of the great wall has been to destroy Chinese bases of attack, making further threats against the Manchu- kuo border impossible.” “If, in their folly, Chinese war lords challenge us to enter the Peip- ing and Tientsin area,” he warned, “we are fully prepared to face their 100,000 or more troops. “I am optimistic, however, Peace will be concluded soon.” The great wall is regarded by both Japanese military headquarters and the Manchukuan government as the northern boundary of China. It was for that reason that Jehol province, North of the wall, was seized from Chine in March. “We are interested only in safe- guarding Manchukuo’'s frontier along the great wall,” said the general. If an armistice is concluded soon, he declared the Japanese army will not support any of the various pro- jects for a buffer state between Man- chukuo and China. that ADVANCE ON PEIPING CONTINUES UNCHECKED Peiping, Mey 22.—(AP)—Reports stated Monday that Japanese cavalry Patrols had penetrated to within five miles of Tungchow, which is 13 miles east of here.

S. Mission to London Parley 1 Washington, May 22.— (#) —The Roosevelt bill authorizing reciprocal tariff concessions was practically ready Monday to be submitted to congress, and Secretary Hull expects it to go forward before long. Coincident with this country’s lat- est great effort toward both arms and economic harmony, as represented in the Norman H. Davis speech at Gen- eva, the secretary of state prepared to go into final conference with the President on the tariff legislation. Meanwhile, it appeared definite that, representative McReynolds of Ten- nessee—chairman of the house foreign affairs committee—will be named to the London economic conference dele- gation—with Hull, James M. Cox of Ohio and Chairman Pittman of the senate foreign relations committee. In response to requests for elabora- tion of the attitude expressed in Davis’ speech, Hull described it to reporters as meaning that this gov- ernment retains to itself freedom of action and decision. Negotiating reciprocal agreements with other powers and simultaneous lowering of the tariff walls is a Lon- don objective of the president. For its accomplishment he has two courses: to obtain full power from congress in advance, or to negotiate the treaties and submit them to the legislature later. Sunday night the president conferr- ed on the foreign situation with Sen- ator Johnson, of California, high- ranking Republican of the foreign re- lations committee, regarded as the choice of the president for Republi- can member of the delegation to Lon- don. Owen D. Young, of New York, aus thority on war reparations and eco- nomics, also is on the tentative list of the president. BEGIN HEARING IN REMOVAL OF WISHEK M'intosh County State’s Attor- ney Says Attorney Gen- eral Approved Bond B A Ashley, N. D., May 22.—(?)—Hear- ings in removal proceedings against Max A. Wishek, McIntosh county state’s attorney, opened here Monday before a special commissioner ap- pointed by Governor William Langer. The hearing was ordered by the governor following filing of a petition by five McIntosh county residents al- leging Wishek violated the law by signing a county depository bond over @ year ago. They contended this was in violation of a 1927 law prohibiting county officers from signing such a bond. Wishek claims that the bond transaction was made openly, with the attorney general's office, under James Morris, approving its form. The suf- ficiency of the bond has not been questioned. E. R. Sinkler, Minot attorney, is de- fending Wishek, who is continuing in office during the proceedings. O. A. Ginnow, Ashley, was named by the vernor to prosecute the case, with J. Graham, Ellendale, special com- missioner. LANGER IS REQUESTED TO DROP PROCEEDINGS A petition signed by 2,060 McIntosh county residents, urging retention of Max A. Wishek as state’s attorney in that county, has been filed with Gov- ernor William Langer who ordered the hearing on removal proceedings against Wishek. The petition filed with the governor urges him to dismiss the removal pro- ceedings, instituted on petition of five McIntosh county residents. N. D.
