Arms Parley Adjournment
Retention of Paul-Boncour as Foreign Minister in New
French Cabinet Seen as Victory for Policies of League
- Disarmament a Political Issue in England
There is a saying current in Geneva
that in time of crises the German Gov-
ernment always commits a blunder and
These two events have taken place ac-
cording to schedule during the recent
crisis of the Disarmament Conference,
yet the last meeting of the General
Commission on October 26th, followed
by a meeting of the Bureau, registered
the unanimous decision of the dele-
gates that the Conference should con-
tinue with a view to reaching a dis-
armament agreement. If certain. dele-
gations would ‘have preferred a dif-
ferent decision, they did not venture to
raise their voices against the public
clamour. The announcement recently
that Mr. Norman Davis, the chief
American delegate, would go back to
Washington, for consultation with his
Government during the interim before
the reconvening of the General Com-
mission on December 4th, is not in
eonflict with this decision. It is gener-
ally interpreted in Geneva as a scru-
pulous putting into practice of the po-
Jicy of the United States Government
announced from Geneva two weeks ago
to become involved in no European en-
tanglements.
Public Opinion Prevented Adjournment
Once again, public opinion has pre-
vented the adjournment of the Con-
ference. Whether it. will be able to
push the Governments to immediate
decisions towards disarmament can
better be answered after the next
meeting of the Bureau ten days hence.
The delay seems to have been inevit-
able. due to the appearance of the new
French Government before the Cham-
ber of Deputies on November 3rd, and
the opening of the British Parliament
on November 7th, events which require
the presence of Mr. Paul-Boncour and
the President of the Conference, Mr.
Arthur Henderson, respectively.
League Policies, Continue In France
In the meantime, two straws may
point the direction in which the wind
is blowing; one is the retention of Paul-
Boncour as Foreign Minister in the new
French Government. The Paris cor-
respondent of the Journal de Geneve,
before the fall of the Deladier Govern-
ment, hinted that the budget - crisis
might be used as an excuse but that
it would not be allowed ‘to determine
the fate of the Government if it were
not for dissatisfaction on the part of
-the right wing with its foreign policy.
The British correspondent of the Man-
chester Guardian puts this even more
tclearly: “The Nationalist press,” he
says, ‘is furious with the continued
presence of M. Paul-Boncour at the
Quai d'Orsay. The Action Francaise
says that now M. Paul-Boncour has
not been dismissed it was hardly worth
while overthrowing the Daladier Cab-
inet.” Moreover according to him “it
was the general talk in Paris that the
General Staff and President Le Brun
himself did their best to keep Paul-
Boncour out of the new Cabinet. On
the other hand, the Socialists—both
orthodox and diffsident—and most of
the radicals took ‘his side and finally
won the battle.” The correspondent
continues: “This fight had nothing to
do with M. Paul-Boncour’s personal
qualities. It ended in the victory: of
one policy over another. M. Paul-Bon-
cour, represents the ‘policy of the Lea-
gue.’ the policy of M. Briand, and M.
Herriot, whereas the policy of the
General Staff and of President Le
Brun is the militarist policy of secret
alliances and of all that these imply.
October 26, 1933, was thus marked by’
the first serious attempt to reverse the
foreign policy pursued by France since
1924
Peace Sentiment Wins In
British Election.
Curiously enough, on the same day,
there was a great victory for the poli-
cies of peace and disarmament in the
- bye-election of East Fulham, one of
the London districts, where a turnover
of nearly 20,000 votes converted a gov-
ernment majority of 14,500 into an op-
. position majority of 4,800. The Liberal
News Chronicle, in its editorial com-
ment says: “There were no local issues
big enough or deep enough to cause an
electoral earthquake of this kind.:.Mr,
Wilmot, the victor, puts his finger on-
the real explanation of his triumph
when he says that the election has
proved that the people of this country
desire peace more than anything else.
It was a straight fight at Fullham be-
tween the advocates of peace and dis-
armament and the champions of na-
tionalism and big armaments. The re-
ult leaves no possible room for doubt.”
Disarmament a Political Issue
Mr. A. J. Cummings, in the same pa-
per on the morning of the bye-election,
had already pointed out that disarma-
ment had become the dominant issue
in the contest. “The Labor platform”
he said, “has declared itself passionate-
ly in favour of a resolute policy of dis-
armament, and as passionately opposed
to the proposal that Great Britain
should now surrender her responsibili-
ty and her task by rearming in fatal
jsolation.” The British ‘Cabinet, he
found, were still undecided as to their
future polcy regarding the Disarma-
ment Conference, because they are
genuinely puzzled about British opin-
jon. Broadly speaking, Mr. Cummings
says that British opinion, including a
considerable element of conservation
opinion, remained surprisingly steady
after the withdrawal of Germany from
the Disarmament Conference, and
acknowledged (1) that there was a
case to be made out in equity and. jus-
tice for the German claim, and (2) that
the 2laim had not been adequately met
{fn the Disarmament Convention.” “The
Fulham election,” he adds, “will help
the Government to make up its mind
and to clarify its policy.”
. Thig election, which took place on
the day preceding the last meeting of
the General Commission, may have
had something to do with the firmer
tone of the British delegation in Gene-
va and the unanimous decision to con-
tinue towards a Disarmament Agree-
ment. Cf
132 Districts Have No
Schoois, Only Officials
Pennsylvania has thirty-two school
districts each with a school board or-
ganization, but not one of them oper-
ates a single school. Children of school
age in these districts who wish to at-
tend the public schools are sent to
neighboring’ districts through agree-
ments that make local School main-
tenance unnecessary. This condition
emphasizes wastefulness of the pres-
ent 100-year-old school unit organiza-
tion system with its 2585 «~eparate
school districts, according to Dr. James
N.' Rule, Superintendent of Public In-
struction.
Included in the list of “no school”
districts is one which has a total popu-
lation of only thirty-eight men, women
and children, according to the 1930
census. The nine school boys and girls
there attend school in nearby districts
As in the other thirty-one districts
without schools, a board of five school
directors is elected regularly to mana-
age the educational needs of the chil-
dren. Consolidation of such districts
with neighboring districts to form lar-
ger single units of school administra-
ton would be in the interests of effici-
ency, the State Superintendent said,
In addition to the thirty-two dis-
tricts without a single school, there are
in the State sixty school districts
whose schools are operated entirely as
part of joint schools with other dis-
tricts. There are 120 other school dis-
tricts that operate one or more of their
schools as joint schools making a total
of 212 school districts in the State
that co-operate with other districts to
supply educational facilities for their
children. In other words, only 2373 of
the 2585 Pennsylvania school districts
really operate their own schools inde-
pendently.
Tioga county has four of the “no
school” districts, Cambria. has three
and there are two each in Allegheny,
Bradford, Butler, Lackawanna, Ly-
coming and Somerset counties. Thgre
is one each in Adams, Armstrong, Bed-
ford, Bucks, Cameron, Chester, Cum-
berland, Crawford, Dauphin, Delaware,
Green, Montgomery and "Susquehanna
counties. : te

Announce Rates For
Christmas Cards
Jecause many persons are not ac-
quainted with the current amounts of
postage to use in mailing Christmas
cards, local postal employees have
made the following announcement for
the convenience of patrons.
Unsealed Christmas cards can be
mailed to all points in the United
States if they carry 1%ec postage. This
same rate applies to all local unsealed
Christmas cards. Unsealed cards may
carry the signature of the sender but
no personal message other than that
printed on the card.
Sealed Christmas cards may be
mailed at the following rates: Local
drop letters, 1c; Dallas R. F. D. letters,
2c; letters to outside offices, 3c, It will
be noted that an unsealed card costs
%c more to mail to a local resident
than a sealed card. The rate for the
former being 1%c and for the latter 1c.
Postal employees also urge that al]
Christmas mailings be made as early
as- possible so that there will bs no
delay in delivery of parcels and so
that there will not be a last-minute
Christmas mailing rush.

“Reducing need not be a hardship-in
any sense of the word” Dr. Campbell
asserted, “The idea that in order to
lose weight one must choose a more or
less unpalatable diet low in meat and
other appetizing foods, has heen dis-
proved. The fact that marked weak-
ness and other serious symptoms often
accompany the use of certain reducing
diets is a fairly good indication that
they are nutritionally inadequate, if
not harmful.”
Dr. Campbell exposed the fallacy of
the opinioon that it is necessary to se-
lect an abnormal diet in order to lose
weight. ‘A reducing diet, he , said
should be normal, with its caloric val-
ue some 25 to 40 per cent. below basal
maintenance, Such a diet should coa-
tain protein of good quality; minerals
such as iron, phosphorous,
cium; vitamins; sufficient bulkfi and
a minimum amount of carbohydrates
and fat. (
“We know definitely,” he continued,
“that lean meat is a valuable food in
the reducing diet since it is an excel-
lent source of high quality protein, iron
and phosphorus; is one of the most
palatable of foods; and creates a feel-
ing. of satisfaction long after the meal
is over. The use of lean meat along
with other nutritious foods, not only
makes it possible for one to reduce
normally with no discomfort, but the
meat may actually aid in the loss of
body fat.”
As proof of the efficiency of a reduc-
ing diet, liberal in its meat allowance
and, except for lessened calories, nor-
mal in all respects, this medical au-
thority called attention to the results
already omtained in the study now be-
in gconducted under his supervision.
Over a period of fourteen weeks the
group of patients with whom the study
is being carried on, have lost an aver-
age of 26 pounds per person, he said.
A typical menu of these patients is
as follows:
Breakfast:
1 serving of fruit (3% oz)
1 egg.
1 slice of toast (2-3 oz.)
1 pat or butter (% oz.)
Coffee (black or ' with
cream and sugar)
Luncheon:
2 servings of vegetables (1 cooked
and 1 raw) (3% oz. each)
1 small serving of lean meat (3 0z.)
or 2 eggs or 2 tablespoons cottage
cheese.
1 slice of bread (2-3 oz.)
1 pat of butter (1-3 oz.)
1 glass of milk (7 oz.) ©
1 serving of fruit (3% oz.)
very little
and cal-
1 glass of milk (7 0z.)
1 serving of fruit (3% oz.)
+ The number of calories in this menu
is about 1,500, or from 1,000 to 1,500
calories less than the normal’ daily
menu, according to Dr.. Campbell. The
meat intake averages a little less than
one-half pound daily.
On this diet a .girl 14 years of age
and . weighing 286 pounds, whose
weight should have been about 112,
lost 54 pounds in six months. The
greatest loss of weight in the case of
any one person—3l/ pounds per week
i—occured in the case of a woman 28
years of age, whose diet contained the
maximum of meat.
| - “It will be observed that the foods
in the above diet are of the ‘stick-to-
the-ribs’ type” said Dr. Campbell. “The
best recommendation as to the ade-
quacy of the diet is given by the pati-
ents themselves. In addition to the
fact that they have enjoyed the meals,
finding them palatable and satisfying,
they state that they feel better with
the excess weight removed.
