GREAT NEED
Of WORLD IS
END OF HATE
Secretary of State Hughes
Points Out World Needs to
f the University of Michigan
Graduates Great Danger
Presented By Those Who
Fan Racial Hatreds.
ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 19. A
plea for a "new sense of civic respon
sibility In matters- of international
concern," in the United States as the
most certain hauls of promoting
peace in the world, was made here
today by Secretary Hughes at the
commencement exercises of the Uni
versity of Michigan.
"Sound public opinion la most
necessary to support the nation's
peaceful diplomatic aims.
"It must frown upon the constant
efforts to create suspicion, distrust,
and hatred," he continued. "There
can be no assurance of peace, and few
of the necessary and Just settlements
which make, for peace, In a world of
hate.
"It should be recognized that what
in more necessary than formulas is a
new sense of civic responsibility in
matters of International concern. The
chief enemies of peace are those who
constantly Indulge in the abuse of
foreign peoples and their govern
ments, who asperse their motives and
visit1 them with ridicule and insult.
Untruth Chief Danger.
"The principal difficulties at this
time in the conduct of foreign affairs
is not with methods of organizations,
or alms, but with the untruthful,
prejudiced and Inflammatory discus
sions In which some of our citizens
and certain portions of the press per
mit themselves to indulge.
"If there Is to be less trouble in
diplomacy, there must be, If . not a
greater reticence nt least a keener
sense of responsibility In the dissua
sion of international questions. Open
diplomacy and blatant , and injudic
ious utterances will not go well to
gether. The corrective can only be
found In that state of the public mind
which will unsparingly condemn and
ostracize those by their base Imputa
tions Imperil our friendly relations
with other nations."
Mr. Hughes dwelt on the difficulty
of obtaining true "public opinion on
matters of foreign policy, aside from
certain readily recognized viewpoints
approved by generations of statesmen
and which only a revolution of opin
ion can change.
- '"The people oannof Judge wisely
without being informed and the
problem is how to inform them," he
mild. "In dealing with the problem'
of developing sound opinion, the fun
damental consideration must always
be that misinformation is the public's
' worst enemy, more potent for evil
than all the conspiracies that are
commonly feared.

Ben Hooper, Chairman Rail
road Labor Board, Predicts
Adjustment 'of Wages and
Peace By Fall Union
Chiefs Declare Strike Will
Be Called if Vote Favorable.
CHICAGO, June 19. Railroad chiefs
were marking time today while em
ployes of the roads were marking
strike ballots.
By July 1; the date $136,000,000 In
wage outs ordered by the United
States railroad labor board, becomes
effective, the strike referendum will be
completed and the nation probably will
know whether It faces an actual rail
strike and a threatened transportation
war.
Developments of the last 24 hours
Included
A statement by Ben V. Hooper,
chairman of the railroad labor board,
predicting an adjustment of the rail
road situation without a strike and
peace on the roads by next fall..
Statements to the board by leaders
of the rail unions condemning the
wnge reductions and serving notice
that a strike, if favored in the referen
dum, will be sanctioned by the union
chiefs. i 'Hf
Word from Washington that Presl
dent Harding intends to baok up the
board, which has no power itself under
the transportation act, to enforce Its
decisions.
Gradual abandonment by the car
riers of their systems of putting shop
work out at contract, a system which
has been one of the barriers to peace
was predicted by Mr. nooper. Follow
ing the lead of the Southern Pacific,
other roads are expected to speedily
do away with labor contracts, the
board chairman said.
Referring to charges by a leading
railroad periodical that the board was
completely dominated by the wishes of
labor organizations, and to more re
cent accusations by the unions that
the wage reductions were a "miscar
riage of Justice," Mr. Hooper asserted
that "a discriminating public will find
the truth at a point about half way be
tween these two extremes."
If the unions and railroads respect
the tiifficulties of the board a fair
minded public will stand for nothing
else, he declared.
The strike referendum is expected to
be completed by next Sunday, five
days in advance of the wage reduc
tions. Early balloting and tabulating
of the returns was urged by B. M.
Jewell, head of the railway department
of the American Federation of Labor,
so the employes can be advised of the
re9ult by the time their pay checks go

ANYJEFENSE
Governor Small Issues State
ment and Attorneys Offer
No Defense On Charge of
Conspiracy Defraud State
of Public Moneys.
WAUKEGAN, 111., Juiie 19. (By
the Associated Press.) The prose
cution' today rested its case against
Goverpor Len Small, on trial for pon-spira-cy
to defraud the state of public
moneys during his tenure of office as
state treasurer, after nine week's of
testimony.1 -
Attorneys for the governor imme
diately announced that they would
offer no evidence, and rested their
case upon the presentation of the
prosecution. The move was so much
of a surprise, that a recess was nec-
ossaryi to allow the prosecution to
prepare its closing arguments. Three
weeks, it had been anticipated, would
be required for the rebuttal testi
mony.
At the afternoon session the de
fense moved that a larger part of the
state's evidence be stricken from the
record. The state asked for a recess
to study the motion before storting
arguments on it.
One count of the motion of the de
fense moves that all the state's evi
dence be stricken out, another chal
lenges 250 of the 8,000 or more state
exhibits, whe' others, attack every
important fart of the prosecution's
testimony. '
Governor Small this afternoon is
sued the following statement: ' '
'They hiJ not proven, a single dis
honest act' against me, or anything
that is In violation of law.. And their
own testimony showed that every do!
lar deposited was returned to the
state treasury in full and that I turn
ed in twice as much Interest as any of
my predecessors."

SUN A FUGITIVE
PEKING, June 19. (By Associated
Press). Two significant developments
today pointed to a re-united China in
the near future. One was found in
official advices from Canton that Sun
Yet-Sen's downfall was complete. The
other came in a telegram from the
three provinces of Manchuria, where
Chang Tso-LIn has attempted to estab
lish a separate empire, that three pro
vinces were ready to Join the United
China movement.
' PEKING, June 19. (By Associated
Press). The grasp of Wu Pel-Fit on
the disturbed situation in China appar
ently was stronger today than at any
time slncehls defeat of Chang Tso-LIn,
rebel super-tuchun of Manchuria, at
the gates of Peking, first brought him
into prominence as a prospective
"strong man of China.'
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, principal opponent
of the Peking government, in whose
behalf Wu has been exercising his ad-
1 mlttcd mllltury geulus. has fled from
1 Canton, where tho southern Chinese
govcjrnmont he headed Is overthrown,
and Chen Chlan Ming, who is favor
able to Wu, is in control,
In the north the leaders of , Wu's
army on the south Mitnchurlan' front
and the head oK. forces of Chang Tso
Lin, In that region have concluded a
definite armistice,' according to ad
vices from Chinwangtao, and. already
Chang's Fengtlen troops are withdraw
ing toward Mukden. The armistice,
according to all available Information
here, resulted from a meeting of the
two communders aboard a British ves
sel at Chinwangtao last irlday.
But Wu still faces a determined and
he said, fanatic enemy, in the south
Sun, at Inst reports an exile, from his
own capital and seeking safoty aboard
a gunboat in the Canton river, still Is
determined to fight.
The boats, under - Sun's leadership
have shelled ay part of Canton. The
dispatches report the casualties as few
because of the flight of many, of the
Inhabitants. Sun, moreover, in await
ing for the- remnants of his defeated
armies to rally so that he may attempt
the recapture of Canton. There has
been a battle at Kianfu, 150 miles from
Nanchang, capital of Klangsl, and
there have been clashes elsewhere in
that province which Sun has been
anxious to conquer to supply himself
with a means of access to the valley
of tho Ynng Tse.
Wu's 12,000 troops at Nanchang ap
parently are standing fast before Sun's
beleaguering forces, and Chen Chlung-
Ming at Canton is showing no dlsposi
tlon to accede to Sun's representations
for a reconciliation.
