First Results
Formal promulgation of the Kellogg-Briand multilateral
treaty for the abandonment of war as an international policy
by President Hoover took place today. All of the fifteen
original signatory nations had deposited their instruments
of ratification along with those of additional nations, and the
outlawry of war is now a binding international agreement,
The defect in the treaty is
forcement, no means of concerted action to compel signatory
nations to abide by its terms,
But the latter is proving effective for the time being at least,
in restraining the Kusso-Chinese conflict in Manchuria,
and hence this gesture towards outlawing war has already
justified itself. The future
strengthened as a degree of
President Hoover has declared that the international
situation has been "greatly modified" by the treaty and that
the present held less threat of war than any period within
the last fifty years, and this
expenditures in nearly all nations, except Germany, is far
greater than in pre-war days.
The moral effect of the
suspicion and distrust, particularly if the greater powers
follow it up by real reduction in armaments. There really
seems no need why the United States should spend nearly a
billion dollars a year for military purposes or half a billion
more than in pre-war years. That America will lead the way
is shown by Mr, Hoover s statement : ' -. '''.
The American people should understand current expenditure
strictly military activities of the army and navy constitute the largest
military budget of any nation In the world today and at a time when
there Is less real danger of extensive disturbance to peace than at any
time in mora man nan a century.
To this end Mr. Hoover will appoint a commission from
the army to formulate a practical plan for reduction in ex
penditures and at the same seek a new international agree
ment on naval strength. In this he will have the cooperation
of the new British labor government. As he remarks, the
present time is "particularly propitious" for moves of this
character.
War on the Crow
At a mass-meeting In Portland of those the Oregonian
dubs "naturalists and nature lovers," war was declared
against the crow and a resolution adopted urging a city or
dinance which "will prohibit any, all and sundry crows from
establishing permanent or even temporary residence any
where within the corporate limits of the city of Portland.
AU which indicates that the crow has more sense than the
naturalists who think they can
law.
The present revival of the
stigated by the munition makers to stimulate the selling of
guns and cartridges. But the crow is accustomed to this
sort of persecution and demonstrated through the centuries
his ability to outwit his enemies. In spite of the vigilence of
shotgun squads and armed patrols, he still bootlegs his corn
and hi-jacks his victims.
The farmer mjght have reason to become irritated
against the crow for his ravages on newly planted fields,
but his presence on the whole is an asset to agriculture, for
' he destroys many injurious pests and takes but trifling toll,
But why a city should decree his extermination passes com
prehension, for his scavenger tendencies are beneficial.
The chief objection voiced against this sagacious grafter
of the bird world, is that he occasionally breaks up a robin's
nest and feeds on the young. So does the owl, which is even
more beneficial as a rodent and bug destroyer. But the robin
does more harm to the orchard and berry patch than the
crow to the garden and the humble earthworm he preys upon
is a necessary soil rejuvenator. In fact, the robin is a great
er nuisance than the crow without rendering any return
service. And the petted and pampered Chinese pheasant is
far greater garden menace.
The presence of the crow enhances a picturesque land
scape and his raucous call adds to the charm particularly in
winter when other birds have deserted us for fair weather
climes. Nature has a way of preserving her own balance and
utilizes the crow. When man's ruthlessness interferes to
disturb this balance, sooner or later he pays the penalty in
multiplication of predatory pests- No real lover of nature
sanctions war on the crow or any other of the creatures that
dd allurement and enchantment to the scenery.
The Balkans of Asia
Manchuria has been called the Balkans of the Orient,
Decause so many great wars have originated therein. It was
Japan's desire for Manchuria that brought on the Chino
Japarese war which gave her a foot-hold, and it was Russia's
effort to annex Manchuria that pecipitated the Russo-Japanese
war. Manchuria has also played a leading role in the
Chinese civil wars of the past decade.
For thousands of years, Manchuria has been a powder
box. It was the savage Manchurians that forced the. build
ing of the .Great Wall by China to protect her civilization
from the ravages of her warlike nomad neighbors. Repeat
edly through the centuries, Manchu dynasties have ruled
China after conquest
It was from Manchuria that the Tartars originally
hailed. After migrations to Central Asia their hordes rav
ished Europe and Asia at intervals for a thousand years.
Under Genghis Khan they conquered China in the east, Per
sia and India on the south and Russia on the west, and for
centuries the "Golden Hurtle" exacted annual tribute from
the Russians as subjocts. Again under Tamerlane their wild
tribesman blighted civilization and threatened Europe.
At the present time, ninety percent of the population of
Manchuria are Chinese immigrants. The country is so rich
in resources that both Russia and Japan covet it and the
tripartite railroad control is a constant source of friction.

Paris. (LP) The camel caravans,
which for centuries have been the
only practical means of bearing
travelers across the sun-scorched
wastes of the Sahara desert, may at
last be replaced by cool and luxur
ious parlor-car service.
A special committee of colonial
and engineering experts, under the
chairmanship of Theodore Bteeg.
formerly Resident General of Mo
rocco, la now studying Just such a
project to tmita North and Equa
torial Africa by rail The plan
which is most favored was present
ed by the French engineer, Paul
Remy, and provides for a subter
ranean line similar m Its prldple
of construction to the subway tubes
of New York and London. The
trains, and especially the parlor
cars, would be equipped with copi
ous tanks of Ice-water and electric
fans to stir up refreshing breezes.
-ins pian 01 m. Remy Is said to be
the only one so far brought forward
which win adequately combat the
toma neat and devastating sand
storms of the Sahara. He has con
ceived toe Idea of constructing i
colossal steel tube sunoorted or
heavy pilings sunk deep Into the
ever-moving sands of the desert.
This structure, be contends, would
not be damaged by siroccos nor
wind-storms which bury all before
wieir ravages.
Besides having two sets of tracks
enabling electric passenger trains
to pass In opposite directions, the
plan provides for the installation
of telephone lines, cables, gas pipes
ana eiecinc wires as weu as a wa
ter conduit These additions. It Is
stated, would give great impetus
to toe work of the French govern
ment In colonising the vast tracts
of the French nnamiMiUHn in this
