RUSSIA WILL ADHERE T0 WAR PACT Supports ngg—B riand Program But Wants Disarmament MOSCOW, Sept. 1. Soviet Russia has made known its inten- tion of adhering to the Kellogg-| Briand renunciation war pact, at the same time linking to the treaty a question of disarma- ment. The Soviet answer says that while the pact is vague and does not provide for disarming,” yet it does impose certain obligations upon countries before the bar of public opinion and simultaneous- ly gives the Soviet Union a new possibility of submitting to all signatory naticns a question of the greatest importadce to the| cause of peace—that of disarma- ment, which is the one and nnlv guarantee a;.mmit war.’ OTHER NATIONS WILLING WASHINGTON, Sep.t 1.—Fur» ty countries have signified adher- ence to the Kellogg-Briand pact to rencunce war, Thus the treaty attempting to bring about uni- versal peace, is rapidly reaching fulfillment of Secretary Kellogg’s envisages when he sought coop- fRINCE DEDICATES WAR MEMORIAL ~ Crown Prince Leopold and Princess Astrid of Belglum witne: Ing a fete at the city hall in Mons where they recently unveiled a memorial to thoss who fell durlng the battle of Mons. |NEW MEXICO’S SPANISH- A"I‘RICW\S LINE UP FOR DE’ll()LRATlC NOMINEE (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the thlrteenth of a series of ctories _,Mm:al situa- seems to have unofficially a pretty good idea of who its candidates are likely to be inethe coming etation of the nations of the world.

JOE ROBINSON GIVES WARNING Democratic Nominee Tells Audience to Beware of Propaganda 1 > prece- in ] The main signpost from the! viewpoint of the national cam- paign is seen in the fact that New Mexico, nominally a Republican state, has a large Spanish-Ameri- can population, mostly of the same religious faith as Gov. Alfred K Smith, who are entnusiastically supporting the New York execu- tive. Neither the prohibition ques- tion nor the farm relief contro- versy seems to interest the state electorate vitally. Campaign nnes usually appar- ent through candidates for state offices can mnot be drawn yet as none of them has been selected The central committees of both parties have met and chosen Al- buquerque for their respective con- ventions but neither has named the date of the convention. Kach, apparently, wishes the other to nominate its candidate first. This year, for the first time, the Anglo and Spanish-Americans have been organized as units. The Spanish-Américans have formed the Club Politico Independiente, which claims 20,000 members, and committees of three Republicans and three Democrats have been appointed to appear before the convention of each party and make | a request for equal representation in offices. The Cutting controversy resolves around charges that the senator who was appointed to succeed the Sen. A. A. Jones by Gov. R. C. Dil- lon, Republican, announced in a public address during the last campaign that he was a Democrat. James G. McNary, Republican State Chairman, has demanded that| Cutting be forced to state “defi. nitely that he is a Republican,” be- fore the Republican party renomi- nates him. Cutting’s newspaper, the New Mexican, says that Cut- ting always has been independent supporting the man and not the party. While LONOKE, Ark., S8ept. 1.—At home with those who have known him since boyhood, Senator Joe Robinson’s first speech as the Vice-Presidential nominee on the Democratic Nutional ticket, warn- ed his fellow citizens to beware of hired Republican dgents which he said were in the Southland to. “intensify x'eliglous and seu- tional prejudices.” He declared the religious faith of the party Presidential nom- inee, Gov. Alfred E. Smith was “simple, old-fashioned and he had never been a Catholic Gov- ernor during all of his official acts and has shown himself to be am American Governor, thorough- ly imbued with the principles of justice, liberty and equality which so many of his detractors neither possess nor comprehend.” ALBANIA NOW HAS A KING | TIRANA, Aibania, Sept. 1.— Ahmed Zogu, President of the Albanian Republic, was formally proclaimed King today by .the National Assembly.
