THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1929 JEEP WATERWAYS. PROJECT PART OFi:: HOOVER'S AMBITION BE President Makes Significant References in Message to Congress P i ------ Washington, April 19.--Specula~ tion over President Hoover's mes- sage is the chief occupation of Washington. That speculation di- vides {itself naturally into two classses, What does the President wish or intend to do, and how far is Congress going to give heed to his wishes and intentions? © The message contained no sure prises; it said about what it was expected to say. but it sald it at Jeast in the farm relief passages a little more vaguely, perhaps, than had been hoped. Obviously ft is no part of President Hoover's intention, at least at this time, to do more than suggest what he has mind. He is not going to be a ilson or a Roosevelt to Congress, at least not yet. _ 'Canada's Interest In the message §s naturally much greater in that art of it which deals with the Barise than with the farm re- lief proposals. It is mot possible, however, to disregard the latter in any consideration of the message, since Mr. Hoover finds in the tariff at least a partial remedy for agri- cultural flls. Reference to Canada | At the very outset he attributes some of these troubles to the "growth of competition in the world markets from countries that enjoy cheaper labor or more nearly virgin soils," the latter a clear ref- erence to Canada. Almost immediately he adds, "it seems but natural, therefore, that the American farmer, having been market by such competition from the younger expanding countries, should ask that foreign access to our domestic market should be reg- ulated, by ta into account the tion" and he cites, as justification for what may be done, the man- date from the recent elections "'to revise the agricultural tariff." . FARM RELIEELAV ARDUSING FEARS Private Grain Handling Firms See Danger F Co-operali - 'Washington, April 19.--The pro- posed farm-relief legislation is be- ginning to arouse the fears of pri- vate grainhandling interests in ferent sections of the country. e result is that telegrams began to reach members of Congress protest- ing against any legislation that would put private grain dealers out of business by reason of the move- ment to encourage the (co-opera- tives. S Some of these telegrams came from so-called independent grain dealers, but are regarded as reflect- ing the attitude of the great pri- vate chain interests and board of trade interests of leading grain centres such as Chicago and Kane sas City. 3 The great private grain interests it appears, are much disturbed over the features of the proposed farm legislation, which would enable the co-operatives to establish ware- houses and facilities for marketing with the backing of Government funds at low interest rates. The indications that a clash is ahead between the private grain dealers and private marketing and processing interests and the co-op- eratives are growing and constitutes one of the most interesting phases of the farm relief struggle in Con- greatly handicapped in his foreign gress.

The grave charges made in it have not been answered and are not cap- able of being answered, because they rest on undisputed evidence. In this volume she repeats them and emphasises them in front of twelve short stores, though before each story is an assurance that it is an episode taken from real life, only the names being altered. Her purpose, she says, is to bring home to the West "exactly what it means, worked out in flesh and blood, to be in Hindu India a child- wife, a Temple prostitute, a Suttee, a child-widow, an Untouchable, or a Sacred Cow." The ghastliness of the picture is in large part due to the influence of the Hindu religion. As Bishop Whitehead writes in a letter to Miss Mayo: It is this religious sanction that has made the effosts often the splendid and courageous efforts, of Indian social reformers so ineffec- tive ..... Try to imagine what London would be like if in St. Paul's Cath edral, Westminster Abbey, and oth- er leading churches large establish- ments of prostitutes had been kept (for centuries past for the use of the clergy and worshippers. What chance would reformers have of raising or even maintaining the standard of sexual morality? Yet that would be parallel to the state of affairs actually existing in South India. 60,000,000 Untouchables Nothing more hideous can be conceived than the practice of mar- rying children or even babies to grown men (which is denounced by Indian reformers and the Ayra Sarnay), and nothing is more cer- tain than the racial decadence which must follow upon it. The one really cheerful episode in the book concerns a child who escaped to a Moslem mosque and there found safety in the higher and nobler morality of the Mohamme- dan faith. It is Miss Mayo"s firm convie- tion that were British authority withdrawn the fighting races (who are largely Moslems) would make very short work of the more deca- dent types among the Hindus. On the plight of the Untouch- ables (the Indian "outcasts," some sixty million in number) Miss Mayo throws a startling light. The young British consulting surgeon of a big municipal hospital {is brought in one of her stories into contact with a group of these unhappy people: "You are dirty--beastly dirty," he said....." At least you could wash." "May it please the Sahib, we have no well." "Then bring water from the wells of the village beyond." "Nay, those are the wells of the caste folk, If we approached their wells, thereby polluting them, they would punish us bitterly. And we, soul-guilty, were eternally accurs- " "Dig wells for yourselves, then." "Nay, also, For we may neither own land, nor control it." "How, then, do you get water?" "From mudholes and marshes, when such be. Otherwise our wo- men walk, half a day's journey to the water-station of the railroad and there await the coming of the train. For the enginemen are Mus- lins, and when they fill their en- gines need will also mercifully fill '|our women's jars."

Cows Live: Children Die To one of her stories Miss Mayo prefixes with caustic irony a quota- tion from Gandhi, to the effect that Hinduism's "worship of the cow is, in my opinion, its unique contribu- tion to the evolution of humanitari- anism'; and shows the appalling animals suffer in that land of cruelty. She sums up he position thus: One hundred and forty-seven million head of cattle in British In- dia, half of them useless. Great cattle-owning areas where no fod- der at all is planted. Little chil- dren in myriads withering for lack of milk. Cows in myriads milkless Cows and chil- maultiply- ing, multiplying. Cows, unlike chil- sacroscant to the Hindu world, so that to kill one useless, suffering, moribund skeleton were a desperate crime, . . . Yet cows left without compunction to perish slowly, f The amazing fact is that while cows are kept alive children are slain without mercy. Infanticide is rife in the case of female babies, and is even favored by orthodox Hindu opinion. There is a grisly tale of a thorn hedge near a village where the British Deputy Commis- gioner, on a visit, detected an ap-| palling smell, and thereupon or- dered the hedge to be cut down be- fore his eyes, revealing the bodies of numerous girl-babies thrust live ing into it. Miss Mayo is a witness who writes with perfect impartially. An Amercan by race who studied In- dian institutions on the spot, she has no prejudices in favor of the British, Yet her testimony to the work which they have done and are 'do- ing, assailed by the Babus and the Hindu extremists, is unfaltering. If they have not cleared up the fester- ing sore which calls itself Hindu civilization, it is because they have treated it as a principle of state to respect 'that alien religion with its repulsive gods and goddesses. PLAN TO REGULATE PRICE FLUCTUATION British Economists Publish Scheme for Stabilizing Cost of Living London, April 19.--The monthly bulletin of the International Insti- tute of Agriculture publishes pro- posals for checking fluctuations in world prices and regulating the cost of living. The plan, whose au- thors are David Ferguson and J. K. Montgomery, head of the Economic Bureau of the above institution, suggests that world general price levels are affected, not by indus- trial but by agricultural prices, and suggests that price stabilization be based on a formula showing the high price index and the price of wheat--a revolutionary association of gold and grain as a world stan- dard. The existence is shown of normal level agricultural price domination, but it is entirely different from the conception under present indices. The formula is reached by working out the respective wheat prices and general index prices, based on the costs of four hundred commodities in three countries for a period of 19 years. It is claimed that the wider the field the more accurate the international formula becomes. The authors give a formula for the pre-war period, whereby the farm price of wheat is roughly computed, and claim a method is findable of foreasting national or world wheat crops and see, if pres ent conditions continue, a fall in the world market level of agricul- ture.) The remedy, they hold, is in some system of control of agricul- tural world production. They urge the introduction in all gold stan-, dard countries of an elastic gold cover for note issue, the movement whereof would be regulated, with- in limits, according to agricultural conditions by a world index of agri- cultural production. MEXICAN ARIES (UT OFF REBELS Moving to Cut off Retreat of Revolutionaries in Sonora Mexico City, April 19.--Govern- ment troops, with the insurgents bottled up in the state of Sonora, yesterday began the first move to catch them between two fires and force their dispersal. A picked column of 10,000 men under Gen- eral Juan A. Almazan was under orders to cut off the rebels from the north by entering Sonora through El Pulpito canyon. He was expected to pass this natural barrier early next week and to deploy his forces at strate- gic points along the international border to blok exits for the rebel leaders.

The action is based upon a deal transacted by the Emperor, King Leopold, more than 200 years ago. When in 1702 King Leopold was short of funds he sold these com- munities, which were inhabited by Jazygs and Kumanes, to a sover- eign order of German knights. Not long afterward the communities re- gained their liberty by repaying the purchase price to the order as a ransom. A law of 1715 decreed that half this ransom must be refunded by the state and the other half by the reigning dynasty. But the commun- itise could never recover the money though they tried repeatedly, and although their right was never dis- puted. The last move was a petition to Parliament in 1907, when they esti- mated their claim 'at 35,000,000 gold crowns. The communities be- lieve that the new Hungarion val- orization law furnishes a suitable instrument to recover the one-half owed by the Hapsburgs, who are in Hungary and still hold valuable landed property. FULL RIGGED SP CROSSES ATLANTIC Seven Seas Arrives in New York to be Re- conditioned | New York, April 19.--After a 51-day voyage during which she covered 6,750 miles, the Seven Seas, one of the last of the full- rigged ships, arrived here, for re- conditioning. She is the property of Inglis M. Upercu, of New York, who purchas- ed her from the Swedish Govern- ment. He will have auxiliary en- gines installed in preparation for a cruise of the South Seas. The Seven Seas once a training ship for the Swedish Merchant Ma- rine, left Cowes in thu Isle of Wight on February 21 with a crew of 21 men and one passenger, Carl Kap- pes, of New York, a friend of Mr. Uppercu, Her master Captain Hal- bor Wikkeslen, who has followed the sea for 25 years, said only one mishap occurred during the voy- age. On March 9, when the ship was passing through the Canary Is- lands, Charles Rasmussen, an able- bodied seaman, was hurled 110 feet into the sea from the topmost yard of the foremast, when a sudden squall snapped the mast in two. He was able to keep afloat until picked up 15 minutes later. The Seven Seas is of 500 tons, 160 feet over all in length. 28 feet beam and 12 feet draught. She was built in 1912 . ora, where the rebels were report- ed concentrated. CONFERENCE SEEN DOOMED TO. FAIL Deadlock Is Result of Lengthy Parley on Reparations Paris, April 19.--The second reparations committee has failed in its purpose to re-delimit Ger- man reparations for the damage of the world war. The conference, which, for ten weeks, has been engaged in an ef- fort to set a figure mutually ac- ceptable to the allied nations and to the German republic, tonight seemed definitely wrecked. A sub-committee will be ap- pointed tomorrow to prepare a re- part to the several governments stating the "why" of the failure. This sub-committee, conceivably, may furnish a loophole through which revival of the conference could be sought but the general opinion tonight did not anticipate such a development. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, chief of the German delegation, today made continuation of the conference hopeless when he stated definitely that payment of even one-half the total sums demanded must be con- ditional on abolition of the Danzig corridor, revision of the frontier of Upper Silesia and immediate re- turn of the Saar Valley to Ger- {many. A sub-committee headed by Lord Revelstoke had met today to en- deavor to bring about an agree- ment between the Germans and the allies on the first ten or fifteen an- nuities. Refuses to Pay More Discussion never got beyond the first annuity, Dr. Schacht, taking the floor, at once declared that Germany would never, under any circumstances, pay annuities greater than 1,650,000,000 marks (approximately $396,000,000), and for no longer than 37 years. She would make these payments, ne congluded, only if the allies made it possible for her to increase her ability to pay by giving her access to raw materials and other re- sources of which she was now deprived. "Germany will pay an average of 1,650,000,000 marks yearly for 37 years." Dr, Schachf informed his colleagues, 'providing these political considerations are satis- fied and providing she benefits from the protective transfer clause." One of the allied experts im- mediatey remarked that "Dr, Schacht wants the experts to revise the treaty of Versailles which was certainly not comprised in our terms of reference." The chief of the German delega- tion was then told plainly that his attitude led finally toward break- ing up the conference," with the result that reparations paymenst would revert to the Dawes plan, under which Germany must pay 2,600,000,000 marks annually (approximatley $625,000,000) in- stead of 1,800,009,000 marks (ap- proximately $450,000,000) de- manded by the allies for the first annuities. Cannot Pay Under Dawes Plan "I understand," replied Dr. Schacht, "But it will be impossible for Germany to execute the Dawes plan and she will necessarily de- mand that the clause giving pro- tection against ruinous transfers come into play."
