LONOKE. Ark., Aug. 31 (AP)
At home with those who have
known him since boyhood Senator
Rqblnson In his first speech to
day as a full fledged democratic
vice-presidential nominee warned
his fellow citizens to beware of
hired republican-agents which he
said were in the Southland to "in
tensify religious and sectional
prejudice."
Speaking .In the auditorium of
the high school building the sen

faith of the party presidential
standard bearer Gevernor Smith
was "simple l and old fashioned."
"He believes in a providence
that guards the just and reward
vlrtne," he said. . .
"He has never been a Catholic
governor. All of his official acts
show him to be'an American gov
ernor . thoroughly imbued with
those principles of justice, liberty
and equality which so many of his
detractors neither possess nor com
prehend." -
Senator Robinson reviewed

PRINCE OF WALES
LONDON, Aug. 31. (AP)
Gene Tunney continues to en
counter dif f icultiea Jn his efforts
to avoid the public eye.
Today there came an Intima
tion that a rather well-known
young Englishman Edward,
Prince of Wales would welcome
a call from him. Such a sugges
tion is royafecommand in England
and soon Gene Tunney was on his
way to St. James palace where
Wales lives in a modest apart
ment of the historic building. ,
'They met there, and for half ah
hour th two young men 'talked
about boxing, sports in general,
Tunney's walking tour of Europe
with Thornton Wilder, and Tun
ney's future.
Gene Won't Tell -
Tunney, himself, when It was
all over, declined to say just what
they had discussed, but from an
other source a general idea of the
conversation was gained.
H. R. H. expressed his regrets
that the golf match he had prom
ised himself , with the former
world's heavy champion could not
take place, the imminence of his
African trip marking it impracti
cable. The prince is said to have
interposed, "It might have been
a good one-round battle."
Tunney agreed, and then re
turned the compliment with an ex
pression of best wishes for Wales'
African tour.
Carries Walking Stick
There was no attempt on the
part of the British heir to draw
the former pugilist out on his
taste for literature and . books.
Tunney went to St. James. not In
the court dress required for for.
mal occasions but as a simple
American citizen, a role he' likes
best to portray. , He was dressed
in the same blue suit and hat he
has been wearing about London,
his only concession to London
styles being a walking stick; even
it was not "fancy" but instead was
the healthy Irish hawthorne
stick presented to him last week
in Dublin.
Attracts Attention
Even at St. James Tunney was
very much the center of attrac
tion. The lackeys, footmen, and
servants of the palace caught
some hint of the former cham.
pion's visit, and when he appeared
dozens' of them perched them
selves at advantageous positions
to get a glimpse of the man who
had "beaten Dempsey. Gene's
meeting with Wales was enough
excitement for one day and to
night he dined quietly in his room
at his hotel.

CHICAGO GOLF CLUB, CHI
CAGO, Aug. 31 (AP) The
Walker cub emblematic of inter
national amateur golf suprema
cy, remains where it always has
been in the United States.
Paced and inspired by the bril
liancy of its captain, the mighty
Bobby Jones, of Atlanta, Ameri
ca's team crushed Great Britain
almost as mercilessly in the sin
gles 'matches today as it did in
yesterday's 5-9-ball foursomes, re
taining the trophy by 11 matches
to 1.
It was by far the most over,
whelming defeat yet suffered by
the Britons although they hare
never won the cup.
Only Charles "Chick" Evans, of
Chicago, . failed to come through
to make it a grand slam. The
"Chick" fought a brilliant up
hill battle, but his opponent, T. A.
Torrance, who continually broke
his spirit by sinking putts from
10 to 30 feet, won by1.he slender

The honor of turning in the
most lop-sided victory naturally
went to the impeccable Bobby.
who trimmed T. P. Perkins, 13

Bobbr the unofficial champion-

largest margin, defeating R. A.

HONORED
What They
ThinkOf
Salem's Traffic, its
Faults and What
. Should be Done.
r
X these 'days, when almost
everybody owns '; or drives
.an automobile, traffic con
ditions, -problems and nuisan
ces are uppermost In the minds
of a large percentage of the peo
ple. Back-seat drivers rave and
yowl, speed-demons cut corners
and endanger lives,! wild-eyed
youths pilot ears of juggernaut
through the streets, j Added to
this the prevailing ' modes" of
feminine dress contribute their
share toward the traffic haz
ard by distracting the attention
of masculine motorists. So, just
' to' see what the people think
about It all, the New Oregon
Statesman set out Friday to get
some expressions from residents
of this community. Here they
ares
J. E. MAXON, Portland Nash
dealer. In Salem Friday, said:
"Salem has wonderful wide
streets and seems to have a
large number of automobiles'
The traffic was heavy at State
and Comerclal streets when I
passed that intersection and I
thought at the time, there
ought to be a control of some
sort, -either a policeman on fix
ed post or a semaphore signal.
I note many women driving au
tos in our capital city: and they
seem to know their business. I
cannot presume to make rec
ommendations for I am not here
often enough." -
WALDO O. MILLS, local
realtor said: "The city should
take out the 'pumpkins' at the
center of the street intersections
and use the same system as that
now employed at State and Com
mercial. Traffic is speeded up
there, and there is seldom a jam
there now. Officers for direct
Jng traffic should be placed on
the busiest corners during the
rush hours."
HARRY SCOTT, motorcycle
dealer, said: "I da pot know
Just what Is to be. done about
the double-parking nuisance.
It seems to be a necessary evil,
and I don't know how to get
around it. Motorcyclists can us
ally find room to park with
out double parking; One thing"
sure, - snorter parking limits
won't help matters any."
RAYMOND "CHIEF" READY
who stays at Y. M. C. A., said:
"There should.be a cop to sig
nal motorists at .at least one
downtown crossing and that is
at State and Commercial."
OSCAR B. GINGRICH, of the
Gingrich Motor company, said
"Traffic as it Is in Salem now
reminds one of a hick town.
This is no fault of the police
but because there is an inade
quate force of patrolmen. There
should be at least five traffic
officers and possibly six, with
one at each of these Important
street Intersections: Commer
cial at State and at Court, Lib
erty at State and at Court and
High at State street Either that
or we should have signal lights
at these places. I believe it
would be economy to put in the
signal lights."
JACK CUTLER, night desk
sergeant at tne police ' station,
said: ,"Recent stories' in The
Statesman showing the need of
traffic control at the busier cor
ners, have tended to call atten
tion of the public to something
that is highly important. The
best solution is a system of ste-
nai ngbts:

Inside Story Given Of Nego
tiations Culminating In
Paris Treaty
Developments Caused When
Smith F. Reavis Goes
After News Stpi
PARIS. Aug, 31. (AP) Now
that the Kellogg-Briand treaty for
the outlawry of war has been sign
ed by the plenipotentiaries of the
great nations of the world, there
can be revealed that the inception
of the idea was based upon the
work of an Associated Press re
porter. Smith F. Reavis, who was
acting merely with the usual rep
ortorial enterprise of "getting a
news story.'
Early in 192 Reavis, on be
half of the Associated Press,
sought from foreign minister Ar
istide Briand of France, a mes
sage to the American people on
the tenth anniversary of Ameri
ca's entry into the war, "April 6,
1927. M. Briand, the "man of
Locarno," winner of the Nobel
peace prize and foremost of the
statesmen who were seeking per
manent peace for Europe and the
world, seemed peculiarly 'chosen
to speak of the aftermath of the
war and the world tranquility
that he so ardently desired.
Message Prepared
Tne request was renewed on
several occasions and M. Briand
promised to prepare a message to
the American people to be trans
mitted through the Associated
Press. To him also, the occasion
seeme'd particularly appropriate to
set before all peoples the desire of
France to banish the spirit of war.
On the morning of April 6. 1927
a messenger from the French for
eign office called at the Associated
Press bureau in Paris with a doc
ument that, accepted as it was by
French and, American statesmen
for something more than a dip
lomatic "trial balloon." led to the
world embracing treaty signed in
Paris last' Monday whereby Che
great nations agreed to renounce
war as an instrument of national
policy.
In that message, M. Briand pro
posed that "the two great democ
racies" outlaw war forever.
Willingness Expressed
"If there were need of it be
tween the two great democracies
ofthe world," M. Briand said, "in
der to give testimony of their
esire for peace and to furnish a
solemn example to other peoples.
France would be willing to enter
into an engagement with America
mutually outlawing war, to use
yeur wayfof expressing it..
"The renunciation of war as an
instrument of national policy is
a conception already familiar to
the signatories of the League cov
enant and Locarno treaties. Any
engagement subscribed to in the
same spirit by the United States
toward another nation such as
France, should greatly contribute
in the eyes of the world to en
large and fortify the foundation
no which the International policy
of peace is being erected, thus
the two great friendly nations,
equally'devoted to the cause of
peace, would furnish the world the
best illustration of the truth that
the condition immediately to be
obtained is not disarmament but
the practice of peace."
