33 - AS BEING ‘VAGUE! Dr. William Rappard Says Treaty Lacks Means to Replace War. By the Assoclated Press. ‘WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass,, August 17. ~—Criticism of the Kellogg peace pact as a means of settling international dis- putes on the grounds of vagueness in its definitions of defense and aggres- sion and lack of indication of definite pacific means to be substituted for war was made tonight by Dr. William Rap- pard, member of the permanent man- dates commission of the League of Na- tions, before the Institute of Politics. Discussing the application of the pact to the recent Chinese-Russian dispute, Dr. Rappard declared the League of Nations covenant had an advantage over the pact in adjusting such inter- national controversies because it pro- vided “positive methods” of settling them. Outlines Objections. Dr. Rappard based his objections to the Kellogg pact on the grounds (1) that it is vague in its definition of de- fense and aggression and therefore un- certain as to what it prohibits and per- mits, (2) that it fails to indicate the nature of the “pacific means” which are to be substituted for war as a method of settling international dis- putes, and (3) that it lacks definite pimmhm for the event of the viola- tion. Admitting the difficulty of distin- guishing the difference between aggres- sion and self-defense, Dr. Rappard said: “The solution of the problem is not thereby discovered by the pact. It is merely postponed to the next grave in- ternational crisis, when, as usual in ir.- ternational crises, haste, passion and contradictory information will certain- ly render absolutely impossible what is today, under infinitely less unfavor- able conditions, already sufficiently difficult. Briton Gives Naval Views. “However, every one should be deep- 1y grateful to the authors of the Kel- logg pact, who have most certainly helped mankind to make one step for- ward on the long and steep road to per- manent international peace, which must remain the ultimate goal of our com- mon endeavor.” The great question as to the ultimate reality in international affairs still re- mains to be answered, Dr. Rappard said. ‘The British Parliament would ratify any agreement placing the policing of the seas under international control, George Young, Labor member of the House of Commons, sald today at the institute. Policing of the seas is essential to international welfare, he declared, and has been the crux of the discord over sea power. He made no definite sug- gestions as to the exact method by which international control should be effected. Discussing American policies, Mr. Young said that the Monroe Doctrine ‘was not defensive as alleged, but offen- sive “as all foreign policies are offen- sive.” MEXICO STA;'!TS AIR LINE.

The sending of additional patrol boats and 75-foot vessels to augment the Government’s fleet along the Ca- nadian border has resulted in appre- hension in Canadian quarters, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Lowman commented yesterday, and this appre- hension has led to the Treasury De- partment to dismount some of the larger caliber naval guns on the 75-foot vessels. Within the last 30 days, the Treasury De ent has sent four of the larger vessels to the Great Lakes region, it was said, and any changes made in arma- ments were carried out in line with the 1817 treaty, Lowman said.

It was sald at Coast Guard head- quarters, however, that the treaty did not pertain to any vessels the prohibi- tion fleet had in service in the waters. All the 75-foot boats are of tonnage less than authorized by the treaty, it was said.

I started in there, too, but father kicked me out,” he went on. “I started to grand- mother, but mother began screaming. She and father came out again and I saw father hitting and choking her. I don’t remember anything else until I saw father fall.” Detectives sald the boy got his automatic .22-calibre rifle and shot his father twice as the man climbed the stairs.

EPIDEMIC CHANGES VIRGINIA PARTY PLANS Republican Committee to Meet in Lynchburg—Brown’s Run- ning Mate Quits. By the Assoclated Press. ROANOKE, Va., August 17.—Robert H. Angell, Virginia Republican chair- man, announced today that the State executive committee would meet next Saturday in Lynchburg, instead of Roanoke, because of the prevalence of infantile paralysis in this city. Forty- four cases ve been reported here since July 11, and Mr. Angell said some of the committee members had expressed a desire to meet elsewhere. R. Walter Dickenson, nominated for lleutenant governor by the Republican party in Virginia, last night withdrew as a candidate, leaving James H. Price, Democratic nominee, unopposed. The committee is expected to take up the matter of naming another candidate, if empowered to act. Mr. Angell said he was not sure of the committee's authority. The Republican convention nomi- nated for governor, William Moseley Brown, also nominated by the anti- Smith Democrats along with Capt. C. C. Berkeley, anti-Smith nominee for attorney general. The anti-Smith con- vention made no nomination for lieu- tenant governor but empowered its State committee to do so later if deemed advisable. o More than 40,000,000 pounds of Tub- | ber were exported throughout the world | last year. DEPORTED FORGER ENDS 22-YEAR STAY Lightfoot Blames Liquor for His Crimes and Poverty—Gives Prison Break Story. s.;:tiév Dispatch to The Star. YORK, August 17.—Samuel Lightfoot, a 54-four-year-old English- man, who has served three terms, to- taling more than six years, in New York prisons for forgery during the 22 years he has iived in this country, was de);:ied today on the White Star liner Cedric. Lightfoot, who claims that he was once in employ of the late H. H. Rogers and other wealthy families in the capacity of personal servant, is gray-haired man of refined and studi- ous appearance. He told reporters that he was an unfortunate example of the evils of the drink habit and that, after he had taken to liquor, he began to steal canceled checks and forge the signatures on bank drafts. He declared he “hadn’t a nickel to his name,” that, although he had wealthy relatives in England, he would not appeal to them for aid, but would go to Australia and there start life anew. Lightfoot, who was already workin in the Dannemora prison hospital when the recent outbreak occurred. told reporters that more prisoners were killed than the two reported by prison authorities. He said that the break, which was planned by long- term inmates, had been planned for the day previous to that on which it actually took place. He claims it was postponed from Sunday to Monday be- cause of the women and children at a prisoners’ ball game, and -that, as soon as the guards began shooting at them, the prisoners surrendered and came out of their hiding places with upraised hands. The guards con- tinued to shoot, he claimed, and the prison chaplain had to appeal to the guards to allow him to persuade the men to return to their cclls. He himself, he said, was well treated by prison authorities. Solo Refueling Flight Begun. SAN FRANCISCO, August 17 (#).— Donald A.
