Appeal Not Available Mr. Go declared that Russia was impotent to act militarily against China in Manchuria and had no court of appeal since she is outside the League of Nations and the Washing- ton Treaty, The Foreign Policy Association has ;lust issued a bulletin in which it re-• ;views the whole of the Chinese East- ern Railway question, which it char- acterizes as a "bone of contention be- tween Nationalist China and Soviet Ruseta," and as having been "a con- stant and important factor affecting the peace of the Far East ever since its inception in 1896." The Foreign Policy Association re yews brolly the hstory of the railroad and recalls that the 'ituerest of the United States in it has been evidenced in voluminous diplomatic corespond- enoe.

It is a matter not of sex, but of youth irrespective of sex. All the political history and philosophy of the 'World, auctent and modern, might have warned ex -Min isters of that. But they were indif- ferent when we' counselled them thoughtfully to take 25, not 21, es the basis of the necessary sex -equality. In the early twenties generous youth of both sexes is in the main attracted by advanced views and ardent visions. As largely as it used to be Radical, it is now Socialist. And for the first time we have their full influx into citi- zenship. Clarence Darrow with one single re- mark won a debate over ex -Congress- man Willie Upshaw of Georgia in At- lanta recently—that is, if loudest ap- plause and laughter count for any- thing. By agreement, there wereno Judges and no official decision. Up- shaw, au ardent dry, told his audience how he had worked his way through school'and studied on the farm. "I was so determined, as a boy," he said, tobe a public speaker that I used to practice oratory on the poor mules while I was ploughing." Then he spent the best part of an hour telling his audience that prohibition was working and that America was drink- ing less than ever before. When Dar - row's turn came, he rose and fixed his famous glare on the perspiring and panting, Upshaw. "If you expect us to believe all you've said, sir,' said Darrow firmly, "you must think you are still talking to a lot of mules" He Is Entertained by Corpora- tion and Is Also Received at the University Glasgow. _ Speaking in Glasgow at a luncheon given by the Lord Provost and the Corporation, Seyyld ICbalifa Bin Harub, Sultan of Zanzibar, who road his reply in Arabic,. said, "I come of a sea -going nation, and my kinstnen, the Arabs of Muscat and Oman, were of the old great navigat- ors and explorers, and sailed the In- dian ndian Ocean, if you will pardon my pride, long before a ship was built in Glasgow. I admit you have outstrip- ped us. As long ago as 1877, on the initiative of that great Scotsman and: citizen -of Glasgow, Sir William Mac- Kinnon, the firm of Smith, MacKenzie & Co„ was founded in Zanzibar and took over the agency of the British India Steam Navigation Company from another Scotsman, Captain Fraser." IIe went on to explain how Sir Wil Liam McKinnon obtained a concession from his predecessor over certain possessions of the. Sultanate, and how, as a result of the success of an expedition and support from the Im- perial Government, the British East Africa Company was termed. The Sultan subsequently paid a visit to the university, where he was Nall received by the principal, Sir Donald' Trotzky's Request To Visit England Denied by Labor Home Secretary of New Cabi- net Refuses to Admit Exiled Communist London—J. R. Clynes, Home Secre- tary, announced in the'House of Commons that he had decided againet allowing Leon Trotzky, exiled Com- munist leader, to visit Great.Britain. The newly -formed Labor Govern- ment had scarcely been in power last month when Trotzky, apparently hoping that the Laborites would be more sympathetic to his request than the former Conservative Government, asked Premier Ramsay MacDonald for authorization to visit England. The subject was referred to the Home Secretary's department, which has now decided against granting a visa to the one-time Soviet army lead- er. Trotzky for several years has been actively in opposition against the Stalin regiine in Russia, and was exiled in Russian' Turkestan last year. He was finally permitted to go to Constantinople, where he bas been living for the last six -months. He first sought permission to go to Germany, but the Berlin .Cabinet, af- ter much discussion, decided to bar him. He tried several other coun- tries without success.

Whittier, Moving a house in Pieces Scotland and Plan Adopted For New York Secret Police Will Work Among Criminal Gangs as Under Cover Men New York -A. bureau of secret police has just been organised by Grover A, Whalen, pollee conimledioner, Mr, Whalen announced that it was model- ed after what he regarded as the beet features of the Army Intelligence Service, the Secret Service of the United States Treasury Department! and the under cover bureau of Scot- land Yard. The personnel of the bureau will be known only to the Police Com- missioner and the anonymous bureau head, who is a high official of the Police Department: They will not have power to make arrests, but will operate wholly as informers. They will not wear shields or other means of identification, and it is the aim of Mr, Whalen that they fraternize free- ly with memers of the underworld, with a view to detecting racketeers,. plain crooks, drug peddlers, gunmen and gamblers, Mr, Whalen said he eupected members of the squad to 1111 their roles so convincingly that they would themselves be in the class of suspects. Never Appear in Court Members of the squad will be re- quired to report secretly on all they see and hear, but they will never ap- pear at police headquarters or at any police station. Instead will meet their commanding ofdcer at secret rendezvous and report to him direct- ly, These reports will be both writ- ten and oral, the written reports sign- ed by a code number instead of by the name of the agent. Their In- formation will be collated, tabulated and card indexed. The squad will be composed of 50 graduates of the police academy, and, the majority of these 'rave already been chosen and put to work. 02 the first appointments, 25 know two languages and one speaks four lan- guages, Mr. Whalen said. Members of the bureau will receive the same Pay as police just entering the serv- ice, but their expenses will be paid out of a $50,000 contingency fend. Fallows Series of Shootings The appointing of the secret squad follows a series of shootings in which men well known in the underworld were victims. Owing to the close fellowship alleged to exist between these characters and the bond of secrecy which is part of their code, the police have not been' able to run down those guilty of the shootings and detectives have been unable to help out, "All these mysteries might not have been mysteries at all, it we had !known what was going on in the underworld," lie said. "Because of the lack of knowledge on what the secret rackets of these men were, the police were handicapped at the start of their investigation." - Mr. Whalen emphasized that this secret squad would report only on persons. who had violated the law or who wore manning to violate it. - Christian Science Monitor, No Relief for Canada Winnipeg Tribune (Ind, Cons.) : That the American Tariff- Bill will be con- siderably altered before it finally be- comes law may be taken for granted. But Canadians who pin to this fact hopes for modification of the tariff as it affects Canada are likely to be dis- appointed. , . , Tariff -making at appointed. . . . Tariff -making at Washington is pretty much a matter of rog-rolling. There is a lively out- cry in the farm states against the bill as drafted, but when it comes to final action the farm senators may have to accept most of the increases on mauu- factured products in order to get the necessary support for the agricultural tariff they want, Mr. Hoover Is re- ported to 'be displeased with the- bill as drawn ,partly because of its ad- verse effect on the international rela- tions of the United States, but he Is in the same position, To achieve the measure of farm relief he has pro- mised he may have to accept in- creases in the industrial tariff as well. The tall goes with the hide. In any event the scale of tariff increases on !arm products is not likely to be af- fected. Canada need expect no relief in the revised bill which will be offer- ed this summer.

Each dog, of course, must have two pair. • Government and Tariffs Victoria Colonist (Cons.): The Gov- ernment of Mr. Mackenzie King is making belated promises of doing something or other to build up great- er trade relations between this crus try and the Motherland. This is the Government's tentative reply to the latest American tariff proposals. Mr. King has had eight years of power to put into effect policies which would tnake Britain the greatest purchaser of Canadian goods and Canada the biggest buyer in the British market, What ho has accomplished in this re - flight from Lossiemouth to Loudon is that it emphasizes in the public mind (perhaps somewhat spectacularly) the safety of air -travel. If a six -hour non- stop eight were still to be classed as schedules, each of which has been a risky adventure, not even his most specifically directed against this Do- inalignent political enemy would en- courage a British Premier to travel minion, regularly by air.
