Germany last week replied to the vernments of France and England their plans for a security treaty 4 the reply was considered to have 1own Germany's desire for a con- uation of the negotiations for the iwct. The main point stressed by ermany in her reply, however, Is at further discussion of the treaty om Germany's standpoint depends hon a clarification by the allies of conditions under which Germany iy enter the League of Nations. Whistles blew and chimes rang out ie glad tidings along the valley of he Ruhr at midnight last Monday, he hour which officially set the val- ey free from occupation by Belgian 1d French troops. The troops moved nto the valley in January, 1928, to rce Germany to meet her repara- tions payments Leopold Schepp, 85-year-old phi. anthropist, who made his millions "om cocoanuts, wants to retire from ve busine: and devote the re- inder of his life to philanthropy. But what is troubling him is how to vend his money. He has asked the »ublic for advice and the public loves thing better than to give it, espe- 1ly where the spending of money s concerned. While he has estab- shed a $2.500,000 trust fund to aid eserving voung boys and has given nother $3,500,000 in individual dona- tions, lump sum gifts and pensions, the millionaire has other millions vhich he wishes to put Into use in worthy causes. There is little doubt that he will get all the advice he can possibly take care of. ust as the country was recovering from the ordeal of one evolution trial nnessee, which ended 4n the iction of John Thomas Scope: teaching the principles of evolu- ion, another case bobbed up here in Washington last week and made a Lid for the spotlight.

John J. Pershing, who not so long ago left this country at the head of a great mission which had for its purpose the winning of a great con- flict, last week left the United States the chief of a mission of peace. He has gone to South America to take charge of the plebiscite which will determine the nationality of the contested provinces of Tacna and Arica, in dispute for 40 years be- tween Chile and Peru. Gen. Persh. | ing confined his statement on his forthcoming work to a promise that | it would be handled with the strictest | impartiality and justice. | Substantial agreement among the| world powers has been reached, it | was reporied last week, on @ plan to | deal with the whole Chinese problem. Briefly, the plan, which will be sub- | tted to the Chinese government as proposal, would include the Wagsh | ington conference scheme for revision of Chinese customs, the appointment of a commission to inquire Into extra: territorial questions and also the British proposal of a new judicial in- quiry into the loss of lives in the recent Shanghai rioting A fight in the British cabinet be- tween the admiralty and the Local Affairs Specially Arranged for the Convenience of Students. | various branches of the union have .

The naval construction pro- gram had caused a split in the cabinet which threatened to end only with the resignation of the sea lords of the admiralty. Mr. Churchill, as guardian of the treasury, could not condone the large ‘expenditure of funds neces- sary in the construction of the cruisers, but evidently receded from his stand when the admiralty lords threatened to resign. The Australian cities of Melbourne and Sydney gave a rousing welcome to the American fleet which visited them last week and the outspoken friend. ship between the Australians and Americans prompted President Cool- idge, from Swampscott, to issue u public statement declaring that it is his hope that “the visit of the Ameri- fleet in the far Pacific ‘may as sist in emphasizing the cordial rela- tions which now exist between the United States and the other nations of the world.” The Luther government's foreign policies, especially as they concern the proposed security treaty, were up- held and approved last week by the Reichstag, which voted 235 to 158 in favor of expressing its confidence. The vote was considered a complete victory for the German chancellor and, incidentally, a vindication of Dr. Gustay Stresemann, foreign minister, who has been extensively criticized for his security pact program. The Institute of Polities opened its fitth annual session at Willlams- town, Mass., last week. Its purposes were outlined in part by ident Harry A. Garfield of Williams Col lege, as follows: “The institute seeks to bring together in this place those who, believing in the vision, seek to| understand one another and, if pos sible, to trace to their beginnings those experiences and influences that | have created present conditions." | Science. | Sclentists at Johns Hopkins Uni- | versity and the Gates Chemical Lab. oratory in California have succeeded in developing a highly concentrated form of insulin, far superior in potency to the commercial product now used extensively in treating dia betes, it was announced last week. Economic. What seems to approach the ‘one big union” idea may materialize in| England, where definite steps are be- | ing taken toward a great alliance of millions of British workers in all lin of industry: The Transport Workers' | Unlon last week upanimously ap proved the scheme. As soon as the given their approval all the unions' funds would be placed at the disposal of an executive body, which would have power to call a general strike or to order any one union out on strike without a ballot by its members. The Federation of Labor is watching the scheme with interest, but its president, Willlam A. Green, sald last week that he did not think a similar project would ever be popu. lar or receive sanction of the workers in this country. | The French cabinet, cable dis- | patches last week reported, has de cided to send a commission of treas- | ury officials to England immediately | to start execution of the war debt funding question. Plans for under- taking the funding of the American | debt are not so definite, it was an- | nounced, French officials having de. | coided to send first o commission of | business men and politicians, who will go over the whole matter with | treasury experts | After various successful endeavors | in the field of banking, union labor has decided to go into the insurance field, and last week the general offi- cers of all labor unions affliated with the American Federation of Labor | use | line met and announced plans for the or- anization of a union labor life in. urance company, to be capitalized at $2,000,000. Two advantages of the new company, according to its spokesman, will be that the invest- ments of Jabor organization members can be taken care of individually, and that the new company can sell zroup insurance to the entire membership of a union body. The organization of the company has been undertaken after two years of Investigation and after two national conventions of the ‘American _Federation of Labor had indorsed the plan. The Government plans to throw open for inspection by the public on September 1 its llst of income tax pavers with the amount they pald. The newspapers in general, it is be- lieved, will continue this year to print the taxes paid by leading citizens. In thelr right to publish such lists they were upheld recently by the United States Supreme Court. The co-operative movement will be a permanent institution in the United States because it is the outgrowth of “economic evolution,” Prof. C. R. Fay of Toronto University told the American Institute of Co-operation at Baltimore last week. He challenged critics who claimed that co-operative movements are of short duration, trac- ing its development in various parts of the world. He cited the California fruit growers and the Canadian wheat producers as examples of the suc cess of co.operation and declared that it is necessary for the farmer, who, acting in {solation, is his own enemy. Co-operative action by the farmer is necessary to bring distribution into line with production, said the speaker. While miners and operators of the Nation's hard coal mines continued their discussion of the new agreement which is to replace the present one expiring August 31, the Labor Depart- ment last week received a jolt in the form of a telegram from Van A. Bitt ner of the United Mine Workers of America, threatening a general strike of nation-wide extent if relief is not afforded for the alleged violations of wage agreements by the operators in the West Virginia flelds. The tele. gram was sent to the Bureau of Con ciliation of the Labor Department in | the absence of Secretary Davis, who is on his way to Europe. A similar message was sent to Secretary Hoover in California. Coal miners’ representa- tives in Atlantic City, however, re. fused to anticipate any general strike. President Leigh Palmer of the Ship ping Board has recommended that the Emergency Fleet Corporation accept the bid of Henry Ford of $1,706,000 for the 200 ships recently offered for sale for scrapping purposes.

This was compared with the per cap- ita consumption in England, which is only 11.6 gallons. One year's con- sumption of gasoline in China, it was sald, would not keep the automobiles in this country running eight hours. Glifford Pinchot, Governor of Penn- sylvania, took active steps last week toward realization of his “glant pow- er” campalgn, through. which he hopes to supply electric current at cheaper rates and in greater abun- dance to_the people of the United States. He malled to each Con- gressman copies of a report of the project. - The scheme, briefly, is to distribute electricity from large cen- tral producing stations located at points which will benefit from water power or at the entrance to coal mines. He says his plan is to pre- vent the ‘“nation-wide electric mo- nopol from securing control of the country and while it does not aim at public ownership, it demands that in all plans for electric development, the public shall receive tho first consider- ation.

While the Dawes plain, which has been operating for its first vear, has helped to ameliorate to some extent the economic and financial ills of Ger- many, it has proved no panecee. and it does not afford an absolute guaran- tee of reconstruetion. This is the con- clusion of the Chamber of Commerce of Duesseldorf, which has made pub- lic & report on the operation of the Dawes plan in its first year. The plan has failed to re-establish productivity as at first claimed for it, according to the report. Educational. The balance of $6,137,562 United States as indemnity arising from the Boxer uprisings was re mitted by President Coolldge last week under congressional authority and the funds will ba employed for educational purposes under the administration of a board of Chinese and American eitl- zens appointed by the Chinese govern- ment.

NEW YORK, July 25.—The Ameri- can Association of Holders of German Mark Securities, through its chair- man, Leopold Zimmerman, of Zim- merman & Forshay, bankers, has filed a protest with the New York curb market against admitting the city of Cologne, Germany, $10,000,000 6% per cent external loan of 1925 to unlisted trading privileges. “For several years,” Mr. Zimmer- man wrote, of Cologne, like other German cities, has defaulted on the interest of such bonds, issued in German marks. The American Asso- ciation of Holders of German Mark Securities was formed for the mutual protection of its members and there- fore opposed to ‘the issuance in this country of loans, as long as the old loans are not taken care of in a sat- isfactory way.
