JAPANESE SPEED
TO TREATY NAVY;
U.S., BRITAIN LAG
By Alcvumler It, George
WASHINGTON () The batWo
fleets of the United States will be
101 ships and 204,000 tons below
treaty strength at tlie end of 1030,
desplto the bolstering of American
naval power by tho addition or 32
vessels costing $23(1,000,000 under the
public works programs
Tliat Ib tho outlook based on con
sideration of tho number of oldor
ships remaining effective for service,
plus the tonnage now scheduled for
construction, ;
Japan Up To Maximum
On the basis of sHips already built
and thoso projected, Japan will bo
up to maximum strength while Great
Britain will bo short 04 ships and
107,000 tons when the London naval
treaty expires on December 31, 1030.
Japan, in fact, will have an Indicated
surplus tonnage of 0,387.
The ratio of tho "big three" sea
powers would bo 0.0-0.4-7.7 Instead
of tho 6-6-3 prescribed by the treaty,
say naval experts, Thoro is a pre
valent opinion that Japan will ro
ncw hor demands for parity or a 10-0-0
ratio at tho naval arms limita
tion conference slated under terms of
tho London treaty to bo held In 1035.
American naval leaders so far have
indicated they would Insist on reten
tion of tho 6-6-3 ratio for tho Lhiee
powers Secretary Swanaon has suit!
It was his opinion that the ratios
stipulated by tho Washington iwid
London treaties "aro fair and just
and should be maintained."
Former Secretary Adams said short
ly before his retirement that nothing
had happened In recent years to Jus
tify tho United. SUites' lowering ita
treaty ratio with respect either to
Great Britain or Japan.
Representative Vinson, or Georgia,
chairman of tho house naval commit
tee, takes tho position that the navy,
because of economy, is already m. a
dcfenslvo basis and that building it
up to treaty limits simply would give
this country tho dofenso to which. It
Is onlltlcd.
Naval experts hero say that, prac
tically speaking, at the present time
tho United States ranks third In sea
power, Japan as well as Great Britain
having considerably moro modem
ships In fighting trim.
Counting ships already built, and
thoso projected, Japon will have In
1036 a total of 183 war vessels ol
combat age. Great Britain will have
1(11 and tho United States, lot). Japan.
It Is Indicated, will have marked
superiority over this country In num
ber or ships and in tonnage In the
submnrno, destroyer and light cruiser
classifications.

SEES EUROPE ON
BRINK OF STRIFE
NEW YORK, Aug. 6 (P Henry
Morgenthau Sr., United States dele
gate to tho Geneva wheat confer
ence and later an adviser at the Lon
don economic conference, returned
Friday with the belief Europe is on
the brink of war.
'"All 'European countries arc con
serving their resources," he said, "and
the unwillingness on the part of
some or them to go all the way In
tho matter of wheat curtailment, is
because of a feeling that they must
prepare for war and In preparing for
war they must have grains to tap
and draw upon."
Under these circumstances, ho
said, the wheat agreements reached
at Geneva were the best that could
bo accomplished. He was not satis
fied with them, ho added.
"All Europe Is ready for war," Mor
genthau said.
"The Individual states would, be
self contained.
"Franco Is working tooth and noil
to be Bclf contained and is offering
a bonus on wheat.
"In Germany there will be war
from within or without.
"Conditions aro similar to what
they were In 1013 all over Europe.
All tho countries are expending more
for armament. All distrust each
other.
'"Europe will not look to us for
man power again, as she' has all the
men she wants; but one group or
another would like a financial alli
ance. In case of war,"

JOB PRINTERS OF
EASTERN OREGON
SUBMITTING CODE
Commercial Job printers of Eastern
Oregon In session at Pendleton yes
terday afternoon came In contact with
the printing code under the NRA as
It will be presented to Washington
for ratification next week. Arne a.
Roe, field manager of tne Oregon
State Editorial association brought to
the meeting an exhaustive summary
of tho code as It has been prepared.
Thoso present suggested slight
changes bearing on Eastern Oregon
conditions and then adopted It.
The public or Eastern Oregon will
bo particularly Interested In the code
because It is the first industrial code
outside of the lumber business that
has come up for local consideration.
What tho government proposes to do
with the printing business 1b dis
closed, and speakers yesterday said
this action will be typical of other
Industrial codes.
Printers everywhere come under the
code, willingly or by license.
Exceptions would be towns under
2600 wholly isolated from towns of
more than 2500 population. Some out
standing features are:
It Secret rebates, discounts, allow
ances, credits or special favors by
printers will be eliminated by heavy
penalties.
2, Defamation) or damaging of com
petitors by competitors is prohibited.
3. Cost finding systems must bo
installed 'by all printers. .
4, No article may be sold for less
than cost of production plus a rea
sonable profit. The government will
not now say what Is a reasonable
profit but It will say what the cost
Is, reaching that Item by state or
federal reserve banking districts, In
which latter event, the costs will be
based on the entire northwest aver
age.
5. Mail order printers must sell
their products In a community
upon a basis of that community's
cost and not where manufactured.
6. Where proprietors have any con
tact with type or presses, their hours
of. work will be limited to that set
for regular employes in that locality.
Violations of all or any of these es
sential rulings will be punishable oy
the stipulated $500.00 fine for each
offense.
7. Papers are asking for a change
In tho codo that would permit them
to use their allotcd 40 hours per week
In less than six days.
North Powder, Baker, La Grande,
Elgin, Enterprise, and practically every
printer in Umatilla county, Hoed
River and other points were repre
sented at the meeting.
It Is anticipated that the code will
bo ready for signature 'by the presi
dent in two weeks but that several
weeks will elapse before the cost of
production in this area is determined.
Tho -blanket agreement signed by
most printers and under which they
now carry the blue eagle signs, will
be terminated and abolished wKen
the code Is ready and will apply
thereafter.
Harris Ellsworth, or the Roseburg
News-Review and president or the
Oregon State Editorial association,
pointed out that the three alms or
the recovery act are to hire more men,
pay more wages and eliminate de
structive competition and the code
was drawn up following the alms.
Attending from La Grande were A
W. Nelson and C. J. Shorb. George
P, Cheney, Enterprise and A. B. Mc
Call, Elgin, also attended.

poison kmi:i;i:ncii;s
When someone has swallowed poison,
the first thing to do Is to Induce
vomiting. The quickest way or achiev
ing this Is by pushing a ringer into
tho bock of the patient's throat.
Subsequently one should give the
patient large quantities or lukewarm
water adding to It mustard or com
mon salt. Of the mustard one may
use one or two teaspoonfuls and of
tho salt a handful in u pint ot wate
To stop tho notion of the poison
we must use antidotes. These may bo
either general or specific.
Tho general antidotes axe composed
of substances which presumably can
absorb poisons and thereby spare the
body tissues.
Such genera! antidotes consist or
solutions containing tho raw white
of egg or the whole egg broken up in
milk or water, Mlllc Itself is such an
antidote. An ordinary flour mixture
made by adding flour to milk or water
Is also a good general antidote.
In order to administer a specific
antidote one must, of coxirse, know
tho naturo or tho poison swallowed.
If the patient Is unconscious or un
willing to tell what ho has token one
must attempt to deduco the nature
of the poison taken from tho sur
rounding evidence. Tho box. vial,
beaker or other cental tier may dis
close Its nature.
The effects or tho poljon on the
skin or clothing may Indicate Its
kind. Thus a corroslvo acid will
usually stain the skin brown and will
burn tho clothing or other objects
with which it comes In contact. Al
kaline poisons usually havo a distinc
tive pungent odor and a soapy reel.
If the patient is unconscious and
cannot be awakened, except by loud
noises or by being rorclbly disturbed,
ono must suspect narcotics. If the
pupils are Contracted to pin-point
sis, the evidence is strongly in fa
vor of either morphine or opium poi
soning. Al Simmons mnkws up a patent
"Roocy" grip for his but handles,
using honey, rosin, beeswax, carbon

THREE TEAMS INj
HOT FIGHT DOWN
PENNANT STRETCH
CHICAGO m Out of the kalei
doscopic fluctuations of strength that
have marked a dizzy National league
pennant chase comes little to com
fort tho experts as the race moves in
to the late summer stage.
The flag-defending Cubs, after
spending all the first half of the sea
son trying to stay near tho .600 mark,
have romped through a homo stay
that produced 10 victories In 19
games and sparkled with heroics of
pitching and game-saving .base hits
tliat almost) equaled their spectacular
September spurt of 1032,
It brought them' tip" close to the
surprising New York Giants, who have
held the league leadership since July
11 amid wild-eyed wonderment of tho
critics and fans who, general-,
"couldn't see" the Terrymen.
Three Guesses
As a result of this long-awaited hut
not very heartily expected upturn In
the champions fortunes, three per
tinent questions now adorn the league
picture, to wit:
Will the Cubs be able to carry on
their drive, on the rood, to a success
ful dofenscj of their title?
Or can the Giants retain therr
tlmely wallop and gilt-edged pitcning
to prove themselves a great ball team,
after all?
Or will the Pittsburgh Pirates,
heavy pre-season favorites and lead
ers Uirough most of tho first seven
weeks of the campaign, get the Wan
er boys a-hittlng again and uncork
a rush that will bear out their statis
tical pre-eminence?
Giants CoiLslsteiut '
The Giants have been far and a way
the most consistent team In vne
league. They hopped into second place
the second week of tho season and,
with tho exception of the first June
weekend, have been either firt or
second ever since. Superfine hurling
by Carl Hubbell, Roy Parmelee, Hal
, Schumacher and Fred Fitzsimmons
has done much to hold them up.
St. Louts' Cardinals enjoyed a few
weeks' tenure of the top following a
late May spurt that gave them 15
wins in 18 games, but that bulge has
steadily slipped away from the Cards
its their pitching talent faded. .
Cubs Going Strong
It is the Cubs rally that has stir
red up the race. Tho Bruins awoke
the morning after Fourth of July,
traditional turning point of big
league campaigns, with a modest 38
38 record.
Then came the Wrlgley field stand,
16 wins In 19 starts and a solid grip
on second place, while the 9 -game
margin by which they had trailed
Now York was cut to 2 games. In
cluded in tho string . were four
straight triumphs over the Giants,
who despite this played .500 ball dur
ing the Cubs' spree.
At this point the Chlcagoans ap
pear in better shape than at any
time this season. Bud Tinning has
developed from a pitching liability
to a distinct asset and three other
stalling hurlers Warneke, Bush
and Root have been hurling con
sistent ball.
Cuyler n Hlg Help
Klkf Cuyler, out for months as a
result of an early injury, Is back in
tho game contributing Inspiration
and a fair assortment of base hits
to tho Cub cause. Playing Manager
arimm is doing his stufr at first base,
and good health abounds throughout
the lineup.
Down tho line through a furious
stretoh race will it bo the ln-and-out
Cubs, the plugging Giants, or the
highly-rated Pirates who will prevail?
Dr. H. Y. Benedict, president of
the University of Texas, is the first
graduate of tho school to hold that
position. 1 j.

COMPANY FIGHTS COLDS
WITH VITAMIN EXTRACT
LONDON (Pi To combat colds,
an English firm is trying tho experi

min extract to a section of Its office
employes.
The experiment was reported to the
congress of the Royal Institute of
Public Health by Its president. Lord
Leverhulme, whose firm is making
the trial.
Flu and the common cold, he said,
account for between 30 and 50 per
cent of absenteeism in industry in
an average year.

may have a single garment which
can be pulled on over its head and
which is held in place about the
neck by an elastic.
