14 SLAVERY N EMPIR CHARGED IN LORDS Raiding at Several Points in World Reported and Britain to Have Further Discussion. C spondence of the A ted Press. LONDO May 27.—Rather a tone of uneasiness on the question of slave aiding in several parts of the world, neluding a suggestion that parts of the British Empire might be affected, was displayed in the House of Lords ently when several peers made de ds for facts concerning the slave de activity Earl Buxton started the ball rolling by asking the government whether the report upon slavery which the forelgn retary undertook to call for in 1923 iad as yet been received, and also whether ‘the League of Nations had asked to be supplied with any avail. able information on the subject of lavery. In Northern Africa and the | r East, he said, slave raiding and ding still _existed, and it was own. he alleged, that raids had made in Kenya and the Sudan. Much as in Past. Lora Oliver asserted that there was 1 of information on the sub. slavery in the possession of the government which the public had the right Yo know.

SLBOURNE, May 6.—The farm- ers are becoming a telling force in Australian politics. A ‘year or so ago they were an unorganized, fretful largely disregarded by politi but now they are beginning to ate terms. The Nationalists, who held swa through the war years, have lost heavily in recent state elections, but have succeeded in hanging on to ad- ministrative power by forming pacts with the farmers. These pact gov- ernments rule Victorfa and the Com monwealth, but a campalgn recentl launched by farmers of this reglon! indicates that they will take the field | on_their own hook. Although the majority of voters are in’ the coast capitals, the agrarian vote has increased out of all propor- tion to fts strictly rural following. The imbending issue seems to be a clash between the farmers and the Labor party, which holds power in four states. Many predict that the next federal government will be com- posed of Labor ministers. Farmers organizations have declared against alliance with the Nationalists. SEEK CLASS B LICENSE. New York, Seattle, Detroit and Nashville Make Bid. New York, Seattle, Detroit and Nashville are in the running for the one-hundredth Class B license to be issued by the Department of Com- merce. Stations in these four citie: it was learned, are standing by awai ing the order of the department to begin broadcasting with high power and, if possible, on a Class B Wave length. Due to the difficulties of ar- ranging for the higher wave length: however, it is likely that in the event that the B license is granted a Class A wave length will have to suffice for the present at least. Of present 99 Class B licenses sev eral are still using the lower wave bands hoping that at the next radio conference an arrangement may be made whereby they can move up to a more satisfactory length Boy or Girl Graduate It gives them that “grown-up” confidence and enables them to always be on time for their ap- pointments.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. CAMBRIDGE, England, May 26.— The assertion by. Air Marshal Sir Hugh Trenchard, chief of the British alr staff, that he would do away with aviation altogether if he could, has caused no end of comment throughout the country. Sir Hugh was speaking to the Cambridge University Aero- nautical Soclety, and his contention was that all the good e through e 8 e 800 D P O R O A P I O r 415 7th St. NW MAXWELL FURNITURE CO. mmmsmemn{ 415 7th St. NW. /mw‘ ROEHLER pviiporr SUITES .00 “Simmons”’ Bed * Outfit WASHINGTON, D. C, aviation commercially would not make up for the reign of terror and death which would be accomplished.through this force if there should be another world war, when great bombs and polsonous gases . would be strewn upon almost helpless cities. Sir Hugh reviewed the problem of the air defense of the British Empire and its potentalities during the next 50 years, speaking very frankly and plainly indeed upon the main prin- ciples’ which must guide the nation in its right and economical use of avia tion. Would End Airplanes. “I do not want you to think that I look upon the air as a blessing alto. gether,” asserted Sir Hugh. Conunu- ing, he said, much to the astonish- ment of his listeners: “It may be more of a blessing for this empire than for any other country in the world, but 1 feel that all the good it will do in civil life cannot balance the harm that may be done in war by it, and if I had the casting vote I would say abolish the air.” This particular phrase of the air chief’'s remarks caused more news- paper comment than has any utte DELIVERS Any Kroehler Suite To Your Home JUNE 14, 1925—PART 1. ance of an official of his standing in years. Relative to a Kuropean war, in which England might be seriously at- tacked, the air chief said: “The great problem to be faced is that in the first clash of the opposing forces the cas- ualties would be very high, and the question of replacing the reserves would be difficut. In fact they would be almost insuperable, not only for this natfon, but also for any other nation,)” Great Power in War. In the next war in a single day, the peaker said he believed, more bombs could be dropped in this country than wes done in the four years of the last great conflict. While the airplane was the most offensive weapon that had ever been invented, Sir Hugh averred, it was a shockingly bad weapon’ of defense against the alr plane itself. Still, he believed, it was tha only one that had yet been dis- covered, and, even in these days of sclentific improvements and fnven- tions, he had grave doubts whether any other weapon would take its place for another 100 years. “Remember that nothing you can do or say will stop all the benefits of aviation, or all the horrors of it. I am sure that the empire is in the forefront of the nations of the world in the air.” The Royal Air Force would not be made the great weapon it must be without the backing of the mation, said the air chief, and he was con- vinced that one of the most important means was through the larger seats of learning. For that reason the gov- ernment was eager to start at Oxford and Cambridge air force units as a beginning, and the officials hoped to do the same at other universities at a later dato.
