PAGE TEN be THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1929 4 SOLUTION OF PEACE PROBLEM 15 NEAR Cuecho-Slovakian ~ Foreign = . er 3 \ &: 5 Se : ges 2 = Generally Prague, Czecho Slovakia, Junie 27.-- The world has passed the stage of "stagnation" in efforts towards dis- armament and fecent leading changes of views between leading statesmen are signs of a new and more success- ful stage in the solution of the world peace problem, Edouard Benes, For- eign Minister of Czecho Slovakia, told the United Press correspondent in a discussion of currcnt international re- lations. s "Europe is passing through the per- jod of post-war consolidation, follow- ing the big uphcaval of the war, Benes said. "I do not deny that there i$ discontent in many quarters, but I am convinced that the forces of peace have won the upper hand and are strong enough to prevent the fruition of warlike methods, I be- lieve, moreover, that the material and financial basis for war is lacking and will continue to be Tacking for a long e. "It is the task of this generation to create such political conditions that war will be morally and legally im- possible before it becomes possible financially and economically." Benes frankly suggested that the ¢ountries of Europe are being driven to an economic agreement dmong themselves by the necessity of ward- ing off the strong influence of Ameri- ean financial and commercial en- eroachments in Europe. 'Friendly Relations He discussed the friendly relations of his country with the United Statcs. He said he believed that the strong protectionist tariff policies of recent} years must pass. oT © The world is now insisting on co- operation and political unities, he con- inued, and asserted that his country would continue to work for the strengthening of the new conditions in the sphere of interests of the Little Entente with Rumania and Jugo Slavia. But in discussing the propects of urther world security, the opinion of Jrithe was most freely elaborated -- and it is the opinion of a Foreign Minister of a country which has the interest of the Balkan tinder-box most closely at heart. ' "I am confident of the success of efforts to achieve disarmament," Benes replied. to a question. "But the solution of the problem will re- quire a long development. At pre- sent it is not so much a question of disarming as of making the first step towards the infernational solution of this question," Benes said the final solution of the reparations problem promises to pro- duce, above all, the great economic and financial security "which is the erying need of European business." 3 Highly Important "Creditor and debtor nations and the others, too, will then know where they stand and will have to act ac- rdingly," he asserted. "It is evi- ent that this will be of high political importance. Briefly, a solution of the problem signifies a further great, vital step towards the ultimate liqui- dation of the world war." The Foreign Minister turned his at- tention to the United States, dc- scribing the cordial relations with his country and dwelling on what he obviously considers the danger of European economic dependence upon the United States. He even went so far as to say that European countries are inclined to unite to check the in- vasion of American cconomic influ- ence. "American participation in Europe's reconstruction played an important role after the world war," in Beng's opinion, "but I believe that this role of the United States already has passed its zenith. It appears that several European countries are. ad- opting a more reserved attitude in view of the financial, economic al commercial dependence of Europe on the United States." w sf The old Upper Canada coin shown above, dated 1812, was found a few days ago by an Italian lab- orer in the excavation on Queen St. in front of Osgoode Hall, Toronto. sneak * 18 Simcoe Street, South. bargains in brick houses, choice and close in locations.

Conversation Both Ways 'Came Through Clearly and Crisply Hadley Field, N.J., June 27.-- News went back and forth between above Hadley Field Monday for Lendon and an airplane hovering the first time ih the history of trans-ocean communication. Riding a plane here this after- noon, the writer talked with Webb Miller, assistant European manager of the United Press, gave Miller a "feature" story on the death of "Strongheart," movie police dog and received in return a report on the British Air Ministry's investi- gation of the English Channel air- plane accident in which seven per- sons lost their lives last week. Communication was perfect. It was as'though the writer were New York office of the United telephoning at his desk in the Press. Talks to London '""You don't mean to tell me I'm talking to London," I observed in surprise after the communication was established between the plane phone and the London office of the Bell company, where Miller sat. "Surely," replied Miller. "I can hear you plainly; how's the air up there and what's the news." This was the start of the first public demonstration of telephone communication from an airplane to London. - Then the writer gave Miller the brief story of the death of the German police dog, Strongheart, beloved of movie fans the world over, yi "That's news," Miller observed, "and here's a little item to turn into the :New York office." Then he proceeded to send for Unitéd Press readers this dispatch, hte first ever to come by so un- usual a route: ! "London, June 7.--The air ministry here Monday started an investigation of the airplane acci- dent in the English Channel in which seven lives were lost last week. The theory on which British officials are working is that the disaster was caused by the break- ing of a bolt holding a connecting rod bearing and thus causing smashing . of the engine by the pounding of the loosened connect- ing rod." The airplane toured over the Jersey landscape and the writer had a comfortable seat where he could peer out into the cloudbanks as he listened to Miller. Clear Conversation Head phones were used, and the conversation came through clearly and crisply--with less difficulty in fact than one would have at head- quarters where the click of tele- graphs and the din of 'printer machines" often makes telephon- ing difficult. ; To link the plane with London required a considerable telephonic operating feat, but the relays worked perfectly, and with nc more difficulty than is required to make a connection from one. ex- change to another in the metro- polis or between cities throughout the country. The conversation lasted about seven minutes. It wae carried from the plane to the Bell laboratory ground station at Whippany, N.J., whence it was shunted, to New York by telephone circuit and-then passed to the Atlantic radio trans- mitting wires at Lawrenceville, N. J. From there, the message went speeding across the ocean to Lon- don. The return conversation . was picked up at Belfast, Me., sent to New York and thence to the fly- ing field. The experiment combined the regular. trans-Atlantic telephone sefvice of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Bell Telephone Laboratories Systems. GLIMPSE OF WEST SEEN IN FOSSILS Petrified Pine Cone Called Symbol of Geological Change 2 v Los Angcles, June 27.--The story of western California's inundation by the Pacific ocean and the millions of years during which the geological transformation took place which brought the Pacific Coast to its pre- sent outline, is epitomized in a fossil specimen - discovered recently near Bakersfield and turned over to the geology department of the Univer- sity of California at Los Angeles. This specimen consists of an im- mense pine cone, perfectly preserved in a state of petrification, found by Harold B. Rathwell, geologist of an oil .company, in the mountains cast of Bakersfield. It is several million -{ years since this cone dropped from a pine tree, and its subsequent his- tory, as interpreted by Professor W. J. Miller, head of the univerkers geology department, is an outliffe of the history of the Pacific eoast from the time when the ocean extended over the maor portion of what is now California. "This pine cone had floated upon the ocean until, becoming water- logged, it sank," said Professor Mil: ler in describing its strange evolu-| . tion. "At the bottom it gradually be- came covered with thousands of feet of sediment. Here underground wa- ters carrying mineral matter in so- of lution, gradually petrified it. None of the original cells remains but have been completely replaced with selenite, a variety of gypsum. Al though the cone is in a staté of" re- markable preservation as regards its contour, it is now a solid piece of mineral. 3 "Then came the great coast revo: lution, geologically speaking, when the great coast range of mountains was born out of the sea--Ilifted thou- sands of feet by the great upheaval: and the sea was thrown back to its present confines, Since the great up- 3 Toronto Greets Ottawa by Air HEN the Canadian Pacific Air | 4 Express service was inaugur- ated on King's Birthday between Toronto and Ottawa, Mayor Samuel McBride of the Queen City sent a silver tray to Mayor Arthur Ellis of the capital in commemoration of the event. Photograph shows J. Ww. Somers, Toronto City clerk, handing the express package to Captain Earl Hand, pilot of the plane, which is shown at the Lea- side Airport, Toronto, ready to start. On June 6, Hamilton Air- port was opened with similar cir- cumstance and at this function also the Canadian Pacific Express was represented and carried a number of packages. Opening of these airports indicates a wide ex- tension of airplane service in this country and a proof of the grow- ing "airmindedness" of Canadians. DECISION RECALLS [= explained preme Court dame Schwimmer"s being given the rights of citizenship and does not SCHWIMMER GAGE Believed Professor: Macln- tosh Will Be Allowed to Stay in States Washington, June 27--The ques- tion of granting citizenship in the United States to those who desire to become citizens, but whose prin- ciples will not permit them to sub- scribe to all the demands of the oath, stirred again here Tuesday when it was learned Prof. Douglas C. MacIntosh, of Yale University, a Canadian, had been refused his pa- pers becguse he would not agree 10 "defend the United States against all enemies." The attitude of the professor of theology in refusing the oath was on a different ground from that taken recently by Nisicka Schwim- mer, Austrian lecturer and pacifist, when she rejected the oath. Ma- dame Sehwimmer in making appit- cation for citizenship announced that her conscience would not per- mit her to bear armg. So she was refused papers by the lower courts and upon appeal by the supreme court, Madanfe Schwimmer was asked by the judge hearing her case whether she would not at- tempt to kill an enemy soldier il she saw him about to attack a sol- dier of the United States. She re- plied she would not kill anyone but that she would attempt to warn the man about to be attacked. The Civil Liberties Union has taken up the Schwimmer case and has circulated 150 church organi- zations asking what attitude they and return to the United States, of respect to Madame stand. It has been decision of the Su- merely prevents Ma- with Schwimmer's the in any way affect her right to leave which country she is a resident. The same conditions presumably apply to the case of Professor Mac- Intosh. ONLY ABSENTEE AT SUGAR TALK 15 HOUSEWIFE Battle Will Be Oustanding Contest in Tariff Debate Phil- every- Washington, June growers and manufacturers, tract flavorers, Porto Ricans, ipine delegates and nearly one interested in sugar except liousewives appeared before the Senator finance sub-committee t0- day at the opening of the contest over the proposed three cents a pound world sugar rates----as com- pared with the present world rate of 2.20 cents a pound, The formidable list of witnesses appealing for a chance to be heard gave further indications that the sugar battle is to be the outstand- ing contest of the tariff fight, For weeks newspaper offices in Washington have filled their waste bhaskels with reams of propaganda circulated by apparently well-fin- anced organizations. The bulk of this material has heen furnished by those in favor of a lower rate, including 'Americans intersted in Cuban production, carbonated bev- erage bottles and chocolate manu- facturers. Most of these organizations are seeking an opportunity to be heard in the Senate sub-committee, al- though Chairman .Reed Smoot has announced the hearings would not duplicate those of the House ways and means committee, Behind the sceneg there is con- siderable discussion about modi- fying the House three-cent sugar provision with a sliding scale, pro- posing a 'high duty. when sugar prices are low in United States and a low duty when they are high, thus stabilizing the price to the consumer. This' compromise is said to be acceptable to President Hoover, al though he has made no public announcement on the subject.

In 1913, 000,000 copies of books were pub- lished in 24 languages other than the Russian; in 1927 there were | 50,000,000 books in 57 other lan- | guages, reflecting the enlightened | policy of the Soviet government to- ward its minor nationalities. This year the State Publishing Society alone will issue about 10,000,000 copies of books by Lenine and about. Lenine, All these achievements were call- ed to the attention of the citizens in a great many speeches, exhibi- tions, concerts and other festivities, Schools, universities, organizations of communist youth and various trade unions participated in the ce. lebration. On one day behind every counter at the bazaar there was some writer or actor of promineyve who acted as salesman. At vari- ous performances at the theatres, concert halls and the opera, actors and writers urged the audiences to buy and read books. A special film in three parts on "The Soviet Book," showing the entire process of making a book, was prepared for the occasion. Kal- inin's speech at the recent All-Rus- sian Congress of Soviets was cho- sen as the text of this book. Steno- graphing the speech, typing( cor- recting, printing, proofreading and final publication of it were shown in the film.
