a ad 3 POLTICAL WEN Williamstown, Mass. Aug, 9-- A labor majority at the next] British election is essential or parliamentary party government by et is doomed, George Young . British diplomat and loborite, told the institute of Politics here Wed- nesday. 1 . An industrial Parliament is in process of formation in England . Young declared, by the General Council of the Trades Unions in co-operation with the Confeder- ation of Employers. This mov- sment, he said will result in the trades unions hecoming &n organ of the constitution and Great Britain no longer will be compel- led to resort to "direct action" in the famous general strike. Reparstions payments on the Dawes standard scale are a_ burden on Germany, but ther is every in- dication that she can continue to adhere to the schedule, Profes- sor Jacob Viner of the University of Chicago said, Prof. Viner stated that five years of operation under the Da- wes plan have been magied by steady improvement in almost ev- ery phase of Germany national ec- onomy, the only dark spots in German economic conditions being unemployment and the high in- erests rates on foreign debts. European Dictators i European dictatorships are "most interesting, perhaps whole- some and necessary, but essent- jally temporary phenomena," Pro- fessor Wm, E. Rappard of the University of Geneva, formerly director of the Mandates Section of the League of Nations, said last. night. While conceding that dictator- ships may be progressive insofar as they succeed in actually enhancing the efficiency of Government and thereby improving material condi- tions, Prof. Rappard pointed that they were necessarily reactionary and asserted that the war had on the whole strengthened democracy, which he predicted would eventual- ly triumph over dictatorship.

'Declaring that the old-world is truly growing old, Prof, Rappard presented statistics showing the "Disquieting fact that the least advanced nations are growing fast- er than the more advanced." New World's Position Attributing the rapidly falling European birthrate to the rapid industrialization of Europe, Prof. Rappard stated: "If the present downward trend of its fertility con- tinues, even the most drastic im- migration laws the new world may enact will not prevent its ultimate depopulation" The new world, he pointed out, is constantly taking over an even larger share of the world's busi- ness, although he expressed the opinion that since 1927 Europe has been showing more activity and been striving to regain its former relative position on the market, "It is of course possible to sup- pose also," he continued, 'that American investments 2%road will continue until Europe will have become an American-owned, Am- erican-visited museum from which no other returns will be expected than those which a private golf course yields to its opulent proprie- tors." INDIANS SPEND TREATY MONEY Braves Buy Mouth Organs and Squaws Bright Beads and Shawls Toronto, Ont., Aug. 9 Far from the busy haunts of men the Indians of Trout Lake and Lans- downe Landing areas retain char- acterictics of the Red Men of old and still seem as easily tickled with bright '"'gewgaws'" as ever, notwithstanding that these places are in the province of Ontario and the Indians there are within hail- ing distance of civilization. This was demonstrated to Captain W. Roy Maxwell, Director of the Pro- vinclal Flying Service, who, with W. C. Cain, Deputy Minister of Lands and Forests, recently flew to Trout Lake to negotiate the last great Indian Treaty on be- half of the Ontario Government. Captain Maxwell piloted the air- ship, In interviews Captain Maxwell told of the primitive ways of the Indians in these areas, each of whom was paid eight crisp one dollar bills for approximately 12- 9,000 square miles of territory in a down payment 'of less than $6,000. . The day the treaty was concl- uded and payment made was a glorious day for the Indian Braves and their squaws. They had mon- ey to spend--eight whole dollars- and they spent it too. The Hud- son's Bay Company agents were on hand to serve the new-rich with ? peight 'beads and shawls and 8 3 and Yaklous kinds of mu- sich ingtrume s,including mouth- oi and small and there were candies for the children. When their treaty mo- ney was spent the Indians went back to their fishing and potato- growing, doubtless with happy me- mories of their big day with the pale-faces. Treaty money was paid to 677 Indians at Trout Lake the sum total being $4,613. Be- esides the down payment of $8 an annuity of $4 is included in the treaty. In conection with the payment of the treaty money a story is told of the chief of the tribe at Trout Lake who showed something of the white man's guile. He asked would make a half-breed woman eligible for the initial $8 and the $4 annuity. He was interested because his son was in love with a pretty half breed. On being informed that 4n such a case the woman would be re- garded as a full-blooded Indian the chief darted off to find his son, and later the happy lovers were joined in wedlock by the Anglican missionary at 'the post, thus drawing down $16 of gov- ernment money. When the treaty was signed by the chief on behalf of the Indians he was given slips ofp paper to hand to every member of the tribe eligiblp for payment. Every male Indian over the age of 21 years of age, every widow and every maiden over 21 years was eligible, The Union Jack was hoisted over the Dominion Com- missioner's tent and payment thereupon began, each person being paid the $8 on presenta- tion of the slips bearing' his or her name.

NON-ZIONIST AID PALESTINE PLAN Zurich Congress Expected to Approve Unification of Forces Zurich (Switzerland) :--When the sixteenth biennial World Zionist Congress opened recently in Zurich, Switzerland, with delegates repre- senting practically every country in the world, the dominating influence over the two weeks' sessions eman- ated from America. The Zurich Zion- ist Congress is thus the first major international Jewish gathering which demonstrates the emergence of Am- erican Jewry into a position of world Jewish leadershiz. _ Although the" American delegation of forty gas the largest sent by any country, it is mot so much the nu- merical stre of the Americans which was prime factor. The Werld Zionist Congress, which is the suprsiiie body governing the Jewish administration of Palestine, and which is at present recognized both by the British Government and by the League of Nations as "the Jewish agency" representing the Jewish peo- ple, also determines the budget for and the program of reconstruction work in Palestine. What will have to be considered at Zurich more than at any other previous gathering is the amount of money that can be cxpected from the United States, An Extended Agency The most important issue to be considered concerns the "extension" of the Jewish Agency, which means that Zionists and non-Zionists will unite in the rebuilding work, This plan of union is the proposal of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of thé World Zionist organization, of Lon- don, and Louis Marshall and Felix Warburg, of New York. Negotia- tions for the union have been going on for six years. The non-Zionists have already approved the terms for amalgamation. The final decision now remains with the supreme Zion- ist body. Although it is expected that ob- jections to the union will be voiced |" by some delegates, it is 'believed that the merger will be approved by an overwhelming majority. So sanguine are the proponents that plans have been made to call the first meeting of the extended Jewish Ag- ency Council in Zurich on August 11, which will be attended by 220 delegates. Forty-one of the forty- our American non-Zionist delegates have been named and are proceeding to Europe, Although the extended Jewish Agency will be composed to represen- tations of all countries, 40 per cent. of the votes will be cast by Amer- icans, since the United States has furnished so large a proportion of the LY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1929 money for Palestine reconstruction work. Since 1921 American Zionists alone 'have donated approximately $20,000,000 for that work. Practically all questions that will come before the Zurich Congress will be dependent on the decision with respect to the extension of the Jew- ish Agency, which is considered of such vast importance because Zion- ists and non-Zionists are to be join- ed after many decades of division on the question of the re-establish- ment of the Jewish Homeland in Palestine. RUNS GAUNTLET OF BLAZING FOREST Flames Lick Coaches as Ex- press Makes Thrilling 3 Mile Dash The Pas, Aug. 9.--With paint on all passenger coaches blistered, with charred holes in the roofing and win- dows begrimed with smoke, the Hud- son Bay railway express limped into The Pas yesterday, It had successfully run the gaunt- let of a three-mile corridor of flames. 'With all windows and doors closed and the throttle wide open, the train had roared through the three-mile stretch of forest fires while flames leape dto a height of 50 feet on either side. Smoke so saturated the air that the engineer at the throttle could scarcely see. Before taking the plunge through fire, the train stopped at Mile 160, and the crew reconnoitred. The pas- sengers, all men of the north, were eager to get through, It was decided that the dash could be safely made.
