Rioting in London's ‘‘Mile End

and women were slashed with razor
blades and one man was thrown
through a shop window, etc., seems
rather “‘un-English,"” to put it mild-
ly. Fist fighting has been en-
couraged by distinguished English-
men, including judges, on the
ground that it is "better than using
knives." .
It is better, doubtless,

mouse family could beat it by 25,000

“TT IS a new gold standard, a

has never been tried before,” was
Secretary Morgenthau's character-

whereby, subject to
24 - hours’ cancel-
lation, they will ex-
change gold for each
other's currencies.
Financiers, econo-
mists and business
men were taken by
retary surprise by the
orgenthau move and immedi-
ately gave it close study. Some were
disposed to label the maneuver ‘'po-
litical expediency,’ but experts gen-
erally said it was a logical step in
the sequence of monetary events but
not positively in the direction of
stabilization,
The new plan, Mr. Morgenthau
said, differs from the old gold stand-
ard in that it will permit the export
or earmarking of gold only to and
between governments instead of
private business institutions and
traders.
“The door is wide open,” said
Mr. Morgenthau. “We're not going
out drumming up business, but we'll
welcome all other countries which
want to participate."
According to the Treasury depart-
ment, the United States alone will

to throw France against Germany so

Ff IGURES made public by the
American Navy Department show
that since July 1 last every great
naval power except the United
States has increased the number and
tonnage of its war vessels.
In the 2% months from July 1 to
September 15, the United States re-
duced the number of its ships from
324 vessels totaling 1,080,715 tons to
306 vessels, totaling 1,062,875 tons.
Great Britain increased ships
from 37 to 309 and tonnage from

Germany increased ships from

from 113,708 to 125,458.
The British foreign office an-
nounced that France and Italy had
agreed to sign that protocol of the
London naval treaty forbidding the

ELGIUM, which since the close
of the World war has been tied
tight to France by a military al-

all similar alliances
and to rely for her
safety on strict neu-

“makes it imperative for

“Any policy of alliance with a
single country would weaken our
position abroad. A purely defensive
alliance would not meet the case

The maritime commission had

Pacific coast ports be kept open
while it sent an investigator to San
Francisco to discuss the conditions
which have long threatened to bring

“Well, what is a
