"U.S.PEACEEFFORTS PRAISED BY SIBLEY Head of U. S. Chamber Lauds Work of Roosevelt and Hull. By the Associated Press. ALBANY. N. Y., January 9—Harper Sibley of Rochester, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, paid tribute in an address here tonight to the ‘‘real contribu- tion of leadership” of President Roose- velt and Secretary of State Hull to promote peace. Speaking at the annual dinner of the Albany Chamber of Commerce, Sibley said that at the “memorable conference at Beunos Aires,” which he attended, “the American republics have given the world a demonstra- | tion of deep-seated insistence on peace. “Here was no group of suspicious | statesmen of Latin descent on the | one hand, and of imperially mlnded{ Anglo-Saxon representatives of a | ‘colossus of the North' on the other,” | he continued, “but rather a syma- | thetic, single-purposed gathering of | statesmen from the whole sweep of | countries in North and South and | Central America and tie Caribbean, | seriously and loyally working to a constructive end.” B LOST.

By the Associated Press. ROME, January 9.—An increase of 15 per cent in military appropriations was approved (oday by the cabinet, which adopted a budget creating & deficit of about $168,000,000. | Italy’s military expenditure for the fiscal year beginning next July 1 was set at 5,533,000,000 lire—more than $293,000,000—an increase of more than 700,000,000 lire over the current vear's figure, fixed while the Italo- Ethiopian war was at its height. Tioe air force, on which Premier Mussolini places great reliance, was given the major share of the increase, amounting to nearly 30 per cent. The whole budget totaled 23,769,- 547,158 lire—about $1.260.000,000. Re- ceipts were estimated at 20,596,593, 415 lire—about $1,092.000,000. Over Fifth of Budget. ‘The tota] for military expenses was more than one-fifth of the whole budget, divided as follows: Army—2.491,000,000 lire $132,000,000). Navy—1,792,000,000 lire (about $94,- 730,000). Air force—1,250,000,000 lire (about $66,250,000). The colonial budget was nearly quadrupled following Italy's Ethio- pian conquest. It was set at 1614, 333,954 lire, compared with 408,344,- 409 lire for the current year. The military and colonial increases accounted for two-thirds of the esti- mated deficit of 3,172,951,743 lire (about $168.000,000). | Last year's budget showed a slight surplus and the cabinet stated that | “gradual business recovery” probably would bring about increased receipts to take care of part of the deficit. Racial Purity Law. Premier Mussolini's determination that colonization of Ethiopia shall not produce a race of half-breed Italo- Ethiopians was reflected in a law ap- | proved by the ministers providing penalties for Italians convicted of hav- ing intimate relations with Ehiopians. (about | The law spoke of “the undeniable | necessity of protecting the race from the promiscuity to which it might be \subiecwd as a consequence of coloni- | zation.” | Another cabinet-approved law em- | powered the government to issue de- | crees “for the conduct of war and the | maintenance of neutrality.” | Grain Purchases Necessary. Well-informed persons predicted the | budget deficit may be made more seri- | ous because of a wheat shortage which | will necessitate purchase of the grain from abroad. Although Italy has begun inereased sowing of wheat, agricultural experts predicted the quantity this year would be about 30 per cent below the average i | of poorer quality. | 3.000,000 tons, these sources said.

A challenge to America to stay out of war and, through a position of strict neutrality, to use its influence and guidance to help other countries solve their war problems was sounded here yesterday by Dr. Maude Royden, British peace advocate and former woman's suffrage leader. Dr. Royden pictured America as the nation best situated to contribute to world peace in an address to ap- proximately 800 guests of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and the Emergency.

The Franco-Spanisn Moroccan border was reinforced. Accords between Spain and France state that if military action in Morocco becomes necessary for either of the contracting parties, the one is to advise the other at once. Under no circumstances would either party have the right to appeal for aid from a third nation, which it appeared Gen. Franco had done.

The force was said to be apparently the binding power which holds atoms together. Measured at the Carnegie Institu-| tion, the force proved to be “a million | times stronger than gravitation” and | many times stronger than any known electrical or magnetic attraction. Wave Motion Indicated. Einstein’s new mathematics, pub- | lished in a bulletin of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, showed by “rigorous” mathematical treatment that gravitation may be a wave motion. These waves, his deductions further suggested, range from bil- lows hundreds of billions of miles long down to short waves that may be briefer than X-rays. The earth, he suggested, in its an- nual trip sround the sun, sets up & gravitational disturbance resulting in a wave perhaps 600,000,000,000 miles long. The length of this great wave seems due to the earth’'s great mass. Atoms, with their small mass, would, under the same calculations, set up exceedingly short waves. The masses of the “parts” forming atoms, that is, of electrons and- other “parti- cles,” would presurhably send out still shorter gravitational waves. The new Carnegie force which measured a “million times” that of gravitation might be the effect of 2. wave, the lengths of its waves ranging | from a twenty-five thousandth of an | inch for red light down to around to sixty-five thousandth for violet light. Radiant heat is made of similar | electro-magnetic waves, all longer than light rays or waves. Among these heat waves, the infra-red rays act like light in being able to produce photographic images. Longer than heat waves, beginning at something under half an inch long, are radio waves. These, too, are “‘electro-magnetic” and the longest in regular use are about 20,000 miles | each. Shorter than light ray waves are X-rays, down to a few ten-millionths of an inch each, radium waves and— shortest of all—cosmic rays. But without exception all are electro- magnetic. Began Work in 1917, Prof. Einstein for years has been trying to figure out mathematically the nature of gravitation. He began this work around 191. Nearly 10 years ago he published papers showing that there is probably some connection between electro-magnetism and gravi- tation. But his gravitational waves as now described are not due to electro-mag- netism in any direct way.
