This right has been abolished under the terms of the Briand-Kellogg pact, he said. "Our only purpose," Mr, Hen- derson added, "is to bring the covenant into line with the wider outlawry of war which we have all signed." , The British resolution notes the effect of the signature of the Kel- logg Pact and adde;, "The tenth assembly X X X counsiderg that in order to take into account the pro- in. organization for peace it.is desirable to re- examine articles twelve and fifteen of the covenant of the League to determine whether it is necessary lo make any modification there- n." "I am happy to say," the Brit- ish Foreign . Minister continued, "That I submit this resolution not only in the name of the British delegation but also in -the names of the delegations of France, Italy, Belgium, Chile and Denmark, The resolution in principle hag also the sympathetic approvul of the German delegation." Mr. Henderson emphasized that arbitration wa: the most pow- erful factor for the preservation of security. It was because of that the British government decided to sign the optional clause was our first step and I emphasize that-- our first step." The British be- lieved ag earnestly as Premier Briand that security from war was the greatest political problem of the day. Two proposals for strengthen- ing the machinery of the League in this connection were already before the assembly, Mr. Hender- son pointed out, First, financial assistance to states which may be victims of aggression, and second, a treaty proposed by Germany for strengthening means for the pre- vention' of war, In regard to the first proposal the British would like to see a draft convention submitted for signature before the end of the present as- sembly. 'If this could be done we shall sign it on the spot, the foreign secretary declared. He added two conditions; provision for reciprocity among the signa- tories and provision that benefits should be available only to the states which have accepted and carried out the general treaty on | disarmament. On the second proposal for strengthening the machinery for the prevention of hosilities, he said it was not possible for: the British to accept the model treaty exactly as it stood.

E. Whee- ler-Reid, Hollywood publisher. . Wheler-Reid's code of business eth- ics was disclosed by himself in ex- plaining to a police court his attack on Delbert S. Sponey, his erstwhile auditor. The publisher's story was that he hired the auditor in Chicago and sent him west to Pasadena to examine ac- counts there. But while Wheeler-Reid remained here, he said Sponey per- suaded Mrs. Wheeler-Reid, known in the films as Lillian Coolidge, to for- jake Hollywood and come to Chicago. Wheeler-Reid returned home, found his wife missing and came back. to Chicago. "When I found them in a hotel here," the publisher testified, "I simp- ly had to pop him. It was not en- ough that he took my wife. He also took my Pasadena pyjamas and bath- door of his suite, he had the cclossal wearing my own nightclothes. That was too much, your honour, I just had robe. And when 1 knocked on the nerve to greet me affably at 3 am. to pop him." The publisher also charged that his wife "so forgot the ties that have bound us in marriage for 17 years as to finance the auditor." "That was another reason why I had tn noo him," Wheeler-Reid said. (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Ont, Sept, 6--Coal, long one of the few minerals which new Ontario's wealthy mining fields have failed to show, has been discovered in vast quantities on the Abitibi River 90 miles north of Cochrane, Premier Ferguson announced yester- day at the Parliament buildings. According to expert estimates, there are from 7,000,000 to 10,000,000 tons of lignite, a low-grade coal, ly- ing in, a bed one mile long by half a mile wide at Blacksmith Rapids. Premier Ferguson described the dis- covery which has been checked cau- tiously by Mines Department officials under Hon, Charles McCrea, as the most important mining development in Ontario in many years. The coal can be marketed at from $5 to $6 a ton, exclusive of freight charges, in the belief of Dr. W, S. Dyer, provincial geologist, who has spent three summers working on the project, Judging by the returns from tests conducted at the Federal government laboratories at Ottawa. Dr. Dyer considers that, partially carbonized, this lignite can be used profitably by some of the large new Ontario paper 'mills, such as the Kapuskasing plant, where 500 tons of coal a day are burned. A complete mining camp, equipped to sink a shaft, will be* established immediately, Premier' Ferguson stat- ed, to provide coal for further tests to determine the extent of tae ues industrial and domestic uses." It is suggested that the fuel might prove suitable for use on the Temiskaming and northern Ontario railway. To establish the mining camp Dr, Dyer and Thomas F, Sutherland, acting deputy minister of niines, will leave for Blacksmith Rapids next week. By next spring, in all probability, the T. and N.O. which now is being pushed on James Bay, will have been extended from the present end of steel at Coral Rapids to Blacksmith Rapids, a distance of 30 miles. Blacksmith Rcpids lies 57 miles south of Moose factory and almost on a line between the altter point and the present railway terminus. 'At the last session of the legisla- ture, a vote of $25,00 was given Hon. Mr. McCrea as minister of mines with which to proceed with the dia- mond drilling which has resulted in the - present "announcement. This work was conducted under Dr. Dy- er's supervision by Smith and Tra- vers, Sudbury contractors. This drilling, the Premier states, will be pushed with even greater vigor this winter until the full extent and possibilities of the field are ex- plored. Child Is Killed .
