[E VAR, IS . PLEA BY KELIOGG American Plan lor World Peace Sent to France Washington, Jan. ¢ UM — France Las been asked by the state depart- ment to share with the United States & mission to unite all princi- pal nations in ‘“renouncing war as! an instrument of national policy.” The proposal for joint leadership, springing from the suggestion of | Foreign Minister Briand for ll' Franco-American treaty outlawing ;..o anq toys do not put coal in| war, 18 put forward by Secretary Kellogg as offering opportunity for a *“more signal contribution to world peace by joining in an effort to obtain the adherence of all of the principal powers of the world" in a renynctation of war. With the offer to France went a | draft treaty to replace the Root ar- bitration treaty which expires next| Webruary 27. Its preamble includes | a proposed declaration against re- sort to war, and copies of it have beem sent to the British and Jap- anese governments. It will be sent | to all other powers with which this, country has Root treaties and will | serve as a model on which the state department hopes to base multi- lateral pacts of perpetual friend- ship. Mr. Kellogg's offer is in the na- | ture of a counter suggestion to the | Briand draft treaty which propos that France and America condemn | recourse to war and agree to set- | tlement by pacific means of all dis- | putes between them. Offering the emotional and imstinctive faculties that he was not the master of his will, what perversities of mind fash- foned the chain which enslaved him and her?" “I ask for a stay of 30 days.” he continued, “so that I may have her examined by a reputable practition- er of the newer achool of psychia- tric technique. I take it we are not intent on thrusting her quickly into the electric chair as if it were a pagan god whom we must propitiate | with a seasonal sachifice.” COMMUNICATED A FEW REMARKS ON CHARITY To the Editor of the Herald: In the article written a few days ago in regard to charity, much is made of Christmas and Thanksgiv- ing remembrances. But gifts of din- the bin or provide for the cold win- ter. It seems to me a better way would be to make Christmas last alt the year round for these needy peo- ple who cannot get work and who cannot provide at all times, the necessities of life. One man was told he shouldn't have s0 many children if he could not support them, but the advice comes a little late. Besides, that problem has not bheen solved efther by the rich or the poor. The chil- dren are here and our charitable in- stitutions must cope with the prob- lem of keeping them from starva- tion.

MANNING (Washiugton Buresu of the N. B. Herald) | Washington, D. C., Jan. 4 —Money | for purchase of land and beginning the extension and remodeling of the New Britain post office building will doubtless be available early in the spring. The appropriations bill for the treasury department, in which an appropriation of $100,000 . will probably be included to start work on the New Britain post office ex- tension, will be reported to the house of representatives the first week in February, it was learned here today. It should not take more than a month for the\bill to piss both houses of Congress, and be ap- proved by the president. The bureau of the budget has al- ready asked that $100,000 be appro- priated for the New Britain project in the first line of public buildings appropriations. This puts New Brit- ain in the first year's program. The total cost of the extension and re- modeling will be $250,000. While the appropriation bill for \ the treasury department is intended to provide money for the fiscal year 1929, beginning July 1, 1928, money { for public buildings becomes avail- able as soon as it is appropriated, | Consequently it is possible that work {on the New Britain post office build- |ing can be started this spring. This means that the eenate’s talk- ativeness in the final days of the ninth congress postponed ex- | on of the New Britain post of- | fice building just one year. Had the . senate passed the urgent deficiency bill passed by the house of repre- scntatives toward the end of last session, the work would already be well started in New Britain, as the Lill contained an appropriation of $80,000 for New Britain, But the determination of Senator Da¥id A. Reed of Pennsylvania to prevent further investigattens of the Pennsylvania primaries, by which William 8. Vare was nominated for the Senate, and the determination of his cousin, Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, to have the senate ex- | tend the life of his committee to al- low for the-continuance of these in. vestigations during the eummer, | caused the deficiency appropriations bill to be talked to death. The workroom of the New Britain post office is seriously congested. There is only 41 square feet of floor {space in the workroom for each em- | ploye, and the government believes 1that 100 equare feet should be pro- vided for each employe in every post office. The rented &pace now used will be given up when the extension is completed, and the lobby will be enlarged, H.S.
