It commands almost the larg- est bloc of electoral votes in that mid- ‘western sector where many politicians believe the election of 1936 will be decided. Against that background Mr. Borah proposes to submit to a popular test his demand that the present leader- ship of the party be repudiated by the rank and file, Particularly, he asks for a popular mid-west, including Ohio, in sufficient numbers to hold the balance of pow- ez with respect to the nomination. A Psychological Blow su; Borah wins his case at the hands of the Republican voters of that crucial state. What becomes of the plans of the leaders, morally and psychologically, and what becomes of their leadership? ¥ ‘The answer need not involve, except Incidentally, the much-discussed ques- tion whether Borah seriously is a can- tlidate, or whether he has any idea he van be nominated. He has said quite directly that his first concern is the breaking down of the present leadership, which he re- gards as reactionary. That fits in exactly with his hesitant conduct, his determination not to go into states where he feels the sort of verdict he is seeking would be foreclosed.

Some “Don'ts” for Pile Sufferers If you are @ sufferer from Piles or other ficient to protect” United States “rights.” Hurling criticism at Japanese pol- icy in a speech on the senate floor, the prominent administration man spoke of treaties “openly and ruthless- ly violated.” He referred to what he called Japanese “threats,” “propa- ganda” and “ ce.” “China is still an independent sov- ereign government, at peace with the world, and desirous of trading with us,” he said, “and there is nothing in the circumstances that can legally. or long physically, interfere with such trade.” Calls for Policy Probing He called upon congress to “take cognizance” of the island empire’s pol- icy. toward China, and “its intended effect upon the United tates.’ Pittman declared Japanese armies’ conquest of Manchuria “was in viola- tion of the covenant of the League of Nations, the Kellogg-Briand pact to outlaw war, and the nine-power pact.’ He asserted that in asking congress to study the eastern question, he had in mind that “congress alone has the power and the duty imposed upon it to appropriate money for the national defense.” Pittman quoted a Japanese writer as saying America “is ready to renounce her traditional principle of the free- dom of the seas.” “Well,” the chairman declared, “the ‘United States does not intend to sur- render the freedom of the seas and Tecognizes no jurisdiction in any gov- ernment on the high seas beyond the three-mile limit in time of peace.” Cites Doctrine Pittman declared he was “aston- ished” that Hirosi Saito, Japanese ambassador, “should attempt to cre- ate the impression in our country that Japan’s doctrine with relation to China is similar to our Monroe doc- trine.” “Such doctrines may have similar- ity as to the threat implied against foreign conquest, but under the Mon- roe doctrine we did not arrogate to ourselves the right of conquest or domination in the Americas. “We were seeking to preserve the republics of Latin America, not to de- stroy them. “There is, however, a Monroe doc- trine applicable to China, which Japan. together with eight other govern. ments, including the United States, solemnly agreed to abide by and re. spect. ... . It is known as the nine- power pact.” Quotes Takahashi’s View He read a dispatch quoting Vice Admiral Sankichi Takahashi, com- mander of the Japanese fleet, as say- ing “Unless America renounces her naval policy aimed at the ex; and protection of her foreign trade, Japan will ‘be forced to extend the fleet’s cruising radius to New Guinea, Celebes, and Borneo, and establish footholds in Formosa and the man- to! dated South Sea Islands.’ Pittman Geclared that “Never in thé history of modern times nas such an undiplomatic, arrogant, Bnd im- pertinent statement been volunteered by one holding such a position.” Pittman quoted K. K. Kawahami, Japanese news writer, as saying that the proposal of the American navai delegation at London to reduce navies by 20 per cent “is superficial and im- practical, if not deceptive; and the percentage which the American navy would scrap would consist of obsolete, superfluous ships which it is but too glad to (iceiicis asi rid of WELFORD SUPPORTS RECLAMATION PLANS Western North Dakota Group Is Promised Cooperation of State by Chief Governor alee eee his BEDE!

He said the state will make a “real effort” to have projects on the Mis- scuri, Little Missouri, Heart, Cannon- | ball, Grand and Knife rivers includ- ea in the federal program.

Towns and cities serving such watered areas also escaped the neces- sity for caring for a large number of needy, and tax delinquency in those areas has been generally far less. Advances from various agehcies with- in the farm credit administration have been smaller in the reclamation districts tham in other agricultural areas of the nation.” . The Knife river project is estimated to cost about $180 per acre of irrigat- ed land, he said. * “The state will cooperate with the Western North Dakota Reclamation and Conservation association in an ef- fort to further those Missouri Slope reclamation projects which would seem to bear proper qualifications as outlined by the federal reclamation bureau,” Welford said.

HAGOOD PLEADS FOR ARMY POST MONIES Thinks ‘WPA Stage Money’ Could Be Used to Construct Permanent Buildings Washington, Feb. 10—(#)- Feb. 10.—()—Congress received advice Monday from Maj. Gen. Johnson Hagood to take ad- vantage of what he called “a lot of easy money floating around”—includ- ing “stage money from the WPA’— ‘and use it to improve living conditions at army posts. ‘The commander of the eighth corps area and the third field army told the house appropriations sub-committee for the army bill during hearings made public Monday what he thought of some of the New Deal relief spend- ing. He suggested that this congress turn $150,000,000 over to the war de- partment “with instructions to get the army under shelter.” “At the present time,” Hagood urged, “there is a vast flow of silver—I won't say gold—spreading out all over the country like mud. It will soon dry up without anything permanent to show for it. I shall not be accused of prc- fanity when I say ‘for God’s sake, put some of it into stone and steel.’ not asking you to build pyramids.

REARMAMENT PLAN PUSHED BY BRITAIN Duce Reported Conciliatory As He Fears Worldwide Dis- aster From Dispute London, Feb. 10.—(#)—The British government applied full pressure Mon- day to complete its rearmament pro- gram which the conservative press now predicted would be financed by @ loan of possibly £400,000,000 (about $2,000,000,000). The defense departments worked at top speed to have the full progra! for expansion and modernization ot the empire’s three defense forces— the army, navy and air force—ready for submission to parliament early next month. A new statement, attributed to Pre- mier Mussolini, that the Italo-Ethio- pian war “may yet be a world-wide disaster,” ushered in the week of in- tensive work. The Sunday Observer quoted I! Duce as having told Sir Arnold Wilson, a member of parliament, in an interview that he was ready to accept the recent Franco-British peace plan tentatively as a basis for negotiations when the proposals for a partition of Ethiopia were repudiated by Britain. Irrigation Proposed For Granville Area Aided by a $500 allocation of funds from the state rural rehabilitation corporation, E. J. Thomas, state engi- neer, soon will undertake an investi- gation to determine feasibility of a proposed irrigation project at Gran- ville near Minot. The project, Thomas said, proposes a@ pumping irrigation system on small 10-acre tracts from wells to be con- structed in the area. Thomas hoped to interest the ground water division of the U. 8. geological survey in the Project. Water lies within 12 feet of ‘the surface in the district, Thomas said.

BAN Mediterranean Racial Conflicts Put New Light on East African Embroglio (By the Associated Press) Probability that the League of Na- tions will not, after all, impose an oil embargo against Italy was seen Mon- day-in diplomatic discussions in Geneva. The oil embargo is under study as @ supplement to other League sanc- tions against the Mussolini govern- ment for its campaigns in Ethiopia. Recent developments in the Medi- terranean area, notably the National- ist riots in Egypt and Syria, have demonstrated adequately what the British have feared throughout the Italo-Ethiopian struggle: A con- tinuation of the war between white and colored is likely to have reper- cussions under other flags. Such league sanctions as have al- ready been put into effect—concerned with economic and financial matters —have failed to halt Italy’s military activities.
