NEW HOPE FOUND FOR ARMS MEET
Mac Donald Proposes exten-tion of France’s Security Guarantees.
London, March 26.-(INS)—Another important step in the difficult task of nursing the five-power naval disarmament conference back to life was understood to liave been accomplished today when the Britich cabinet approved Prime Minister J. Ramsey MacDonald’s proposal for extending France security guarantees. Chan cellor of the Exchequer Phillip Snowden, who has been the chief opponent of further British guarantees to France, was understood to have capitulated and signified his approval of the proposal.
Washington, March 26.-ONS)— If the I.«ndon naval conference is lo be saved from the rocks toward which it has been steadily drifting for weeks, Great Britain will have to do the rescue act by extending to Fiance the security pledge, she demands as a price for scaling down her naval demands.
The United States will enter into no political pact, security, consultative or otherwise, which by the widest stretch of imagination or interpretation could be construed as committing this country to render armed assistance to any other power.
of the late Czar Nicholas II,
The program, which was under tlle chairmanship of Vice-President. Frank C. Touton, opened with Theodore Kittay singing “Pelch Singers," by Bizet. This number was followed with another number by the tenor, sung in Russian, "Night of May," by Rimsky-Korsakoff. Dr. Touton then presented the Grand Duke. In spite of his Russian accent, the excellent English which he used made the talk clear to everyone.
SKETCHES EARLY LIFE
He sketched briefly his early life, Ills birthplace in the south of Russia, his revelation as to the uselessness of bloodshed coming with the Russo-Turkish war during liis childhood. "Man,” he stated, "is greatly in need of spiritual education, which should be begun by mothers, who must look after the interests of the soul as well as of the mind and body of the younger children.” | When asked concerning his impressions of Southern California, he said, "It is so very much like my own country in southern Russia that I feel at home here. I am delighted to have the opportunity of speaking before the students of Southern California, and I hope that I have been able to bring to their attention the need for the recognizing of the law of love as the fundamental, positive law of the world.
“The present conference for disarmament are not practical," he continued, “for they tend to control material things and not to control the warlike spirit. Should a war break out again all the conferences in the world would not prevent the building of battleships."
PLAN IS OUTLINED Included in the Grand Duke Alexander’s plan and line of work are the following points: 1. To give practical forms to the truths con-

Porter Hall, 3. G„ March 25: To the Editor of the Dally Trojan: This correspondent spent a most enjoyable afternoon last Monday acting as chairman of a debate between Willamette university and S. C. The conclusion was especially enjoyable. The audience wan filled to suffocation—with heat waves. Those who had planned to attend must have detoured for the beaches, for the only ones present were the debaters, the chairman, and the time-keeper. And the time-keeper took plenty of time out.
A hubbub of silence greeted each speaker. No doubt the visiting speakeasies soon realized what is meant by the great open spaces. When they get back to Willamette they can boast that they broadcasted their debato over the radio—for they certainly spoke before an unseen audience. Greater love hath no men for each other than these four wordy troubadors who listened to each other without a squawk of protest.
This was a no-decision debate. By no-decision is meant that there was no one there to give a decision. No fooling, it’s getting so hot that everybody is beginning to feel like a hot water bottle.
Yours for turning off the heat,
