ITALY BLOCKS NAVAL PARlEY

Hopes Fade For Four- power Agreement.

(By Harold P. " , Agoflaw] Press Staff Writer) (A- P- B)‘ Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON. Feb. z-k-Hopes for a projected naval agreement to re- Dlace expiring treaties faded tonight B: authoritative sources said Prem- ier Mussolini refused to sign as long as League of Nations sanctions are in force against Italy and the Brit- ieh fleet in the Mediterranean.

The attitude of Ll Duce was'dls- closed by members of the Italian delegation, these sources declared. and confirmed previous unofficial predictions.

Naval conference circles inter- Meted the expression as a blow to the proposed treaty.

The British also have made no headway with the French in dis- cussions oi ways to get around .the French objections to German par- ticipation ln the conference.

London Set Up For Ice Cream

LONDON, Ebb. 25-40?) "—

Warm weather ice cream fashions are being determined at the Ice Cream and Dairy Exhibition at the Crystal Palace, The News-Chronicle remarks: _' "This summer, it seems, we shall consume at least 50,000,000 gallons (l? ice cream-so that the rehearsal now in progress is thoroughly justified.

"It will be bought from penny- lri-the-slot machines, in special paper bags. in tubes of chocolate and in he": waffle-wafers, which make it look as if you get more ‘gar your penny than you actually . "And lt will b. better ice cream. The Milk Marketing Board has ar- ranged for ice-cream manufactur- ers to buy milk at bulk wholesale prices. Milk powder from abroad has been widely used so far.

"The immense engineering in- dustry that has grown in recent years to 1 t. the needs of the big milk distributive combines should give those engaged in the milk prices inquiry some idea of where the money goes." ‘

series of dust storms.

Swift melting river ice and head- water snows combined with fore- casts oi’ watershed rains to carry flood threats to a dozen states. Ice gorges were blasted and blasting preparations made throughout the middle west.

Giant Snowslide

The historic Camp Bird mining property eight miles from Ouray, Colo. was the scene of the greatest reported disaster. Frngmcniary ac- counts told of a glnnt snowslide that roared down a mountain side, engulfing the plant whcrc 45 men were at work and killing nine. Many more were reported injured. A rescue party of 30 on horseback fought 10-foot snowdrifts towards the scene.

Four were reported drowned and many driven from their homes by high water in the Stockton and Oalrdale district of California, This rcgion bore the brunt of early flood troubles with 35 000 acres under water and agricultural dam- age estimated near $1,000,000, The Sacramento River started falling today.

Farmers Captioned

Farmers in rich lowlands in oth- er sections were warned to be Dre- pared to evacuate. Reading, Pa., made plans to care for 1,200 rc- fugees in anticipation of floods along the Schuylkill.

Pinker was averted in the Ohio River Valley ncar Evansville, 1nd,, where even more serious difficulty had been feared. Giant ice gorges above and below Evansville. broke -freeing many miles of the rivcr and virtually removing serious flood threats.

Prilned for War‘ China Takes On National Pride

NAKING, Feb. 24. (AP)—Chlna the peace loving, proudly paclfistlc nation oi many centuries is no more.

In its stead is emerging a people trained in the art of war and fixed in the belief that a day, the day, is coming when China must and will fight to preserve the longest continuous existence of any nation on earth. -

Two million Chinese were under arms when a few‘ Japanese divi- sions took over Manchuria, practic- ally unopposed. Few of these 2.000,- 000 shouldered a rifle when the rising sun banner was carried through Jehol and hoisted on the great wall of China. No call to the colors was heard as the Japanese nibbled at the inner Mongolian Province of Charhar, and gained the upper blind in the once im- pcrial province of Hopei, where the sons of heaven once ruled Eastern Asia from the dragon throne. -

China did not fight to prevent the loss of a fifth of her territory, and many were the excuses offered —lack of modern military equip- ment and training in its use, civil dlssension. But strongest of all excuses -—the tradition of ages which placed the soldier on the lowest rung of the social ladder and convinced the man of ability that he was too good to fight.

One by one Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shel: has eliminated these excuses behind which China has been hiding. Half of the national revenues now go directly into the military coffers , and millions more find their way there by round-about Ways.

To aid him in transforming his

unwleldiy and often untrust- worthy arm‘ - legacies of the warlord era-into an effective and disciplined national force, General Chlang Kai-Shek invited the best military experts post-war Germany could spare. American airmen laid the foundations of China's air force. Italian fliers continued the work.

From the United States General Chlang bought airplanes, and soon will buy more. From the leading armament firms of Europe came cannon, machine guns, tanks and other instruments of war.

Most important of all, General Chlang is injecting into the un- warlike Chinese mind the will t0 fight. Every method of p; nda known to modern civilization is being utilized. Newspapers, magen- ines, the radio. the moving picture, bill» boards, school text books-all are being used today to spread the doctrine of militarism.

Ordinary soldiers killed in past revolutionary struggles are now cel- led martyrs, and have memorials erected to their memory. The page; of history are being combed for names of men who fought against foreign foemcn, that posthumous titles and honors mAY be conferred upon them. and material benefits granted to their descendants.

Gone are the old days when the pale complexion, soft, long nailed ’ culdere and

Makes Appeal For ‘ , Retention oi The‘ Prohibition Law

-___. On Sunday. Rb. 28rd, at the evening lervloe in_ the United Church st Kensington. the pastor. aev. B. Chalmers Salter mad» I stirring appeal to a largo 0on8!!!- gatlorl. “Rise v9.10 men of God! Have done with Imel- thlnsfll" Speaking on temperance and takiniz for his text Genesis d: 9, “Am I my brother's keeper?" m. Suite: said. "Some time ago in discussing the liquor question with one who claim- ed that neither by way of exam?“ nor in supporting legislation to re- strict strong drink had. he any re- sponsibility towards others. He turned on me quite fiercely with a quotation from Scripture. ‘Am I my brother's keeper?’

“It was very fitting that one who sited up for the liquor traffic should quote this question from the lips of the first murderer, Cain. who killed his brother. Strong drink has killed very many. Philip Snow- den, former Chancellor of Britain.

pmducc wealth; it destroys wealth in order to manufacture pauper-ism, crime, disease, poverty and death.’

"We know that it killed a man here in Kensington not four months ago. He gave his strength in bulldhig the new highway and when the work was completed he was rewarded with that which killed him. I have heard only kind words spoken of this stranger in our midst who was killed by alco- hol. and I would not speak harshly of any oi itsvictlms. On the other hand I freely admit that man! good men take a mink. Further, some of the finest youna m"! I have known have become drunk- srds, and some fill drunkards graves.

Very often the victim of strong drink is the kind of man we like best, young, strong, confident of himself, kindly, friendly, generous, rather than the careful. selfish one, forever thinking of his own inter- ests Not-everyone who takes a drink becomes a drunksrd. but those who are most certain that they can take a drink or leave it alone aredn the greatest danger.

Though Cain, the murderer. might ask, "Am I my brother's keeper?" we who profess to follow Jesus Christ must say, "We are." We have a duty toward our broth- ers and toward our children. Our full duty is not done when we set them a good example. We must fight this monster that produces pauper-ism, crime, disease. poverty and death. It never ceases to ad- vanoe.

Recently our Premier said press- ure is being brought to bear upon the government in favour of changing the law. ‘rhere you have the advance of the creature that murdered the stranger in Kenning- ton four months a80- ‘Tls I 811ml’ creature that glides forward in the darkness. Sometimes we catch a glimpse of it in the Press. Yester- day. for instance, in an Island paper there were seven letters on the liquo: situation Pour oi’ them were written by honourable men who signed their names. All were in favour of the enforcement of the present law. ‘Three were un- signed. They were as stabs from the darkness aimed at our children.

Two years ago in England Sir lkfgar Sanders. director of the Brewers’ Society, addressing the brewers, appealed for a great ad- vertising campaign. emphasizing that advertisements be given to newspapers on condition that the brewers be given editorial support. (Sea the trail of the serpent!) He went on to say: "If we can once attract a new class of customer. we shall see the brewing trade turn round and start the ascending scale. We want to get the beer- drinking habit instilled into thous- ands, almost millions. of young men who do not at present know the taste of beer. These young men. if they start with what beer they can afford today, as ‘they grow up will afford better been, to the greater advantage of the brewing industry." Brewers. in Canada have followed his advice. They advertise. Along the highways of Quebec one may see here and there the wood- en horse, advertising a certain brand of been In Prince Edward Island though, we are to have a living horse going from one end of the Island to the other-a travel- llflfl Buvcr lldmfllit that Will b0 talked of wherever horsemen meet.
