MACDONALD LEADS
POUCY DISCUSSION
Cabinet Meets to Weigh
issues of New Labor
Government.
By the Assnrluted Pres*.
LONDON, June 26.—A cabinet coun
cil was held at No. 10 Downing street!
today under the presidency of Premier
MacDonald to discuss completion of
the King's speech from the throne,
which will be read before Parliament !
on July 2.
As It is expected the King's speech |
will outline the general policy of the j
labor government, it is awaited with '
profound interest.
The administration’s attitude toward 1
the naval strength problem, its pro-)
posals with regard to the means of !
seeking re-establishment of diplomatic !
relations with Russia and its plan for ;
attacking the unemployment situation ,
are almost certain to hold prominent
places in the speech.
Trotsky Action Doubted.
It also is believed that the govern
ment "may on this occasion disclose its i
intentions concerning the request of j
Leon Trotskv to be permitted to enter |
England. Well informed quarters be
lieve that there is little likelihood the ■
former red army leader, now in exile in !
Turkey, will be allowed to come to j
England.
It has been arranged already with
regard to debate on the address in reply l
to the King's speech that Harry Snell. (
Labor member for East Woolwich, will
move the address and Cecil Wilson of
the Attercliffe division of Sheffield, will
second the motion.
Thomas Will Speak.
The chief speeches from the govern
ment bench wil be made by Premier
MacDonald, who is expected to give a
general statement of the government’s
policy, and by J. H. Thomas, lord privy
seal, who is m supreme charge of the
Laborites' plans for the reduction of
unemployment. Mr. Thomas. It Is un
derstood, intends to explain to the
Comons the results of his preliminary
Investigation and to indicate the meas
ures he contemplates to meet this big
domestic Issue.
Both houses of Parliament met this
afternoon to complete the ceremony In
connection with the election of the
speaker and to swear in members.
The Commons members were sum
moned to the Upper House and re
ceived notification of the approval of
Capt. E. A. Fitzroy as speaker, after
which they returned to the Commons
where Capt. Fltzroy assumed the robes
of office and took the oath. The
process of swearing In the other mem
bers then began.

further the ideal of comradeship as !
opposed to force as arbiter between na
tions is to further the hope of peace
and progress and happiness of all '
humanity.”
Ambassador Dawes prefaced his re- 1
marks by a personal reference to the 1
Prince of Wales, when, on Memorial '
day, the latter visited the wounded and 1
talked with them. The Ambassador <
said: “He went straight to the heart of 1
the American people, not only as a 1
prince, but as a man.”
The prince previously had expressed
his pleasure at meeting delegates from i
all over the world and said the gath
ering was “all the more important for
the presence of the American Ambas- »
sador. This is the first opportunity I <
have had to welcome personally Gen.
Dawes to this country. We greet him )
as Ambassador, but we also greet him
as representative of the former service
men of the United States.”
Earl Jellfcoe Toasts Dawes.
Earl Jellicoe, in proposing a toast to
the visitors, said that Ambassador
Dawes had performed a great service
and had put his hand to the work of
advancing world peace. He thought it
might be that in wielding the ax In
the matter of naval armaments heavy
blows might be aimed at his brother of
ficers and men, who had already suf
fered hardships from previous wielding
of the ax. If any further reduction in
the navy was necessary, he hoped it
would be possible to arrive at some sort
of finality, so that in the future they
would know the personnel necessary.
The American Ambassador, at the
dinner, conformed to the regime that
he yesterday announced would hold at
the American embassy. He drank only
water and coffee.

grounding on a platform at the ground
level where several employes of the
post office were loading trucks with
mail. No one was hurt.
A few bricks dislodged by the bolt

FUJI AS SEEN FROM THE SEASHORE OF NUMADZU.
| SHIZUOKA, Japan. May 25, 1928. i
, T AM trying an experiment, sitting j
i I cross-legged at a Japanese “table"
I 1 about 10 inches from the floor, with
l my typewriter resting where a charm
| lng bronze figure has heretofore been
j placed. This room Is one of a suite
! of two. opening, as do all the rooms In j
| Japanese houses, public and private, !
i into large apartments by the sliding of
partitions. The inn. the chief place of j
public entertainment in Shizuoka, is
called the Daitokan, and is famous;
hereabouts for Its commodious accom- I
modations. It is certainly an amazing
place for intricacy of arrangements. I
| am anxiously wondering whether I can
! find my way to the “office” and the
I street when the time comes to make
i connections with the party for the
! day's doings. I know that I go down
] a hall for a short distance, turn to
i the right—or perhaps the left —go down
: a flight of stairs, turn again, turn once
more, go up a flight of stairs, turn
i once more, then go straight for a few
yards, and go down the final flight to
the office. That's simple in the telling,
perhaps, but the doing may be dif
ficult.
My -experiment consists in finding
out how long I can sit in this posi
tion and write. If my legs hold out
I may be able to flnLsh this letter be
fore the time comes for the day o start.
Just now I was aware of a darkening
of the light and looking up saw an
elderly Japanese standing in a little
corridor which runs alongside the bal
cony rail just outside of my rooms,
looking Intently upon my procedure.
I gave him the smiling salute, pointed
to my typewriter, made motions of in
vitation for him to enter, which he
declined to do, and went on writing.
He was Just curious to find out what
this tap-tapping noise meant, and after
watching me a while, Jie has silently
slipped away.
View Snowy Cone of Fuji.
Yesterday was Fuji day. We left
Miyanoshita at 10 o’clock in a big
motor bus and drove over the mountain
road to Lake Hakone, by the same
route I had gone on Wednesday after
noon. As we drove along the lake
shore we suddenly saw that for which
some of us had been vainly looking
ever since reaching Japan, a view of
the snowy cone of the most famous
mountain in tbe world. The air was
perfectly clear and Fuji showed his
white cap brilliantly against a blue
sky. Hakone was, however, no mirror
for him, for the surface was ruffled
with the breeze left over from the
veritable typhoon of the day before.
There is no discounting the tremen
dous "pull” of Fuji. He is, as his
name signified, unique. For that is
the true Japanese meaning of "Fuji,"
something rare, exceptional, distinctive,
renowned. About this matter of Fuji's
name, some confusion prevails in the
minds of foreigners in Japan and else
where. The suffix “yama,” which
means “mountain,” is never attached
to Fuji’s name by the Japanese them
selves. For “yama” means any moun
tain, or a mountain in general. Fuji
is the one and only mountain of that
name, and to say "Fujiyama” literally
means mountain-mountain. So the
Japanese almost always speak of
the great cone as “Fujisan," which is
equivalent to calling him "Mr. Fuji,”
or “Dear Fuji," or what you will.
Well, there was Fujisan, glowing, be
nign, isolated in the sky. And all day
long he was with us, persistently,
dominatlngly, as if to atone for his
long seclusion. The afternoon before
when the rain ceased and the skies
had given signs of clearing, we
had driven out to “Long Tail Pass”
to a celebrated viewing point in
the hope of seeing him. but all we saw
was a desperate struggle between him
and the clouds, in which he was only
partially victorious, showing merely his
southern shoulder dimly for a few
minutes. Yesterday, however, he was
gloriously triumphant over the mists
and even last night, If we could have
gained the right viewpoint, we could
have seen him in the light of the full
moon, which is rated as one of the
wonders of Japan.
Divided by Boundary Line.
Fuji is so precious a national posses
sion that he is divided by & boundary
line so as to give half of him to each
of two prefectures, so that there will
be no jealousy between them. Yester
day the governor of the prefecture of
which Shizuoka is the capita) rode
with us on the train from Numadzu,
where we were entertained at luncheon,
and looking out of the car window,
told us proudly that half of Fuji was
under his jurisdiction.
As we drove In our motor bus to
ward the sea with Fuji gleaming off
to the north of us, yesterday morning
we were suddenly aware that the road
ahead was crowded with motor cars
and with persons standing In the cen
ter. Flags appeared on some of the
cars. There were noises and motions
that Indicated that we were being “re
ceived.” Sure enough, the crowd in the
road proved to be a welcoming com
mittee from Numadzu, headed by the
mayor and leading members of the
business community. We halted and
our party alighted and there was a
formal reception in the highway. Then
we re-embarked and drove speedily to
the town, five miles away.
We have had many honors in Japan,
many notable attentions by eminent
personages and delightful entertain
ments, but nothing has touched us
more than the hearty welcome given
us by these people of the two lesser
cities which we reached yesterday,
Numadzu and Shizouka. The Numad
zu delegation led us through the streets
of two villages before we reached the
city itself, going at a lively pace which
threatened death to hundreds In the
swarming communities. Out beyond
Numadzu we spun, to a restaurant or
club built on a promontory, the Japa
nese name for which is “the lying
cow.” That was given to it because its
original formation looked like a re
cumbent bovine. But the enterprising
capitalist who bought it and used it
for building this resort cut down the
higher area and so destroyed the
“cow’s head.” It Juts into the sea at
a point at which views of great charm
are available. The snow-capped Nip
pon Alps show brightly in the sun at
a distance of a hundred miles. Fuji
looms up close at hand. The curve of
the bay suggests Naples. On the beach
are hundreds of fishing boats awaiting
the subsidence of the sea.
Entertained by Geishas.
We had luncheon at a long table
right out in the sun with the lively sea
breeze cooling us from the increasing
warmth of the day. During the meal
we were entertained by a group of
geishas in two dances, both of local
significance. One was the dance of the
fishermen, a graphic representation of
net pulling and other actions pertaining
to this occupation. After an interval
the dance of the sea was performed, a
most graceful rendering. All this was
out in the bright sunshine, which gave
the fullest value to the brilliant cos
tumes of the girls. ,
■After luncheon we were driven to the
THE F.YEvTXCt STAB. WASHINGTON, T). C„ WEDNESDAY, JUKE 2fi. 1929,
j town, stopping for a moment at a
celebrated beach from which an espe
cially fine view of Fuji is had. and
went to the cocoon exchange, which
was opened formally for the season
immediately after our arrival, the gov
ernor of the prefecture reading a short
j address of combined welcome to us and
! authorization for the commencement of
j trade in cocoons. As soon as he had
j given the “go” sign all the brokers,
seated around a long wooden flat
; floored trough, clapped their hands in
: unison several times and four atten
dants, standing in the trough with pad
dles in their hand, began to roll forth
the cocoons, one basket at a time, the
i brokers making their bids by means of
! chalk marks on wooden discs, each of
i which bore the token of the individual.
Sales were quickly effected, basket after
basket being thus disposed of. After
each sale a hand-clapping signal was
given.
leaving the cocoon exchange we
drove to the railway station and en
trained for Kanaya to see tea growing
and experimental preparation. Motor
cars took us up a high hill to an im
mense tea plantation. The fields look
: like endless growths of boxwood. The
tea bushes are low and trim and
rounded. This crop is perhaps the
neatest of all under cultivation by man.
Inasmuch as we are to see more tea
today. I will not go Into details about
this product, save to sav that we were
strongly impressed by the fact that the
Japanese tea growers are anxious to
convince the American tea drinkers that
their product is the best to be had.
Statistics indicate that the exports of
Japan tea, which is green tea, are not
as large as heretofore. Whether this
falling off is due to a change of taste
in other countries or to some mere
passing condition is not evident. But
the price is lessened and so is the total
annual export. But the product is
kept to the highest possible standard.
Tea Chief Topic of Talk.
Shizuoka is the center of the tea
trade. Here are located the organiza
tions which control the output and the
processing. Tea is the chief topic of
all talk. Tea dominates the atmosphere
—tea and Fuji, who smiles down on
all this activity with benignity.
The government experiment station
is situated in the heart of a plantation
which was begun some 70 years ago
by the son of the last shogun of Japan,
who after the change of regime which
deprived the shoguns of political power
retired to the country and became a
"gentleman farmer." The Tokugawa
family became powerful In politics and
trade after the lapse from virtual
royalty. One of these scions of the
shogunate built himself a palace in
Shizuoka, which is a very ancient city
with a most romantic history. In after
years this palace was taken for other
uses, and today its garden is incorpo
rated in the grounds of the Fugetsuro
restaurant, to which, after we had
cleaned up here at the hotel from our
day's driving and sightseeing, we walked,
just a few rods.
Our Numadzo reception was hearten
ing. Our Shizuoka reception was thrill
ing. After we had gone upstairs in the
restaurant to a delightful apartment
overlooking the garden we were greeted
by the sound of a whistle. Our atten
tion was attracted to the garden. A
sudden spizzling of a firework startled
us. A rocket-like thing went zimmlng
across the little lake and banged into
something solid on the other side. There
was a splutter of fire, then a big “set
piece” sprang into view, with the word
"Welcome" in big letters.
After this surprise we were prepared
for almost anything in the way of
friendly gestures. We went upstairs
again to a long banquet hall, with the
usual cushions and little low tables for
a native feast. We had a delicious
Japanese dinner served by about 20
geishas, some of whom performed
dances. Twice during the evening the
whistle blew and we went to the balcony
and witnessed fireworks displays, each
a brilliant success, and each with a
touch specially pertaining to our visit.
They certainly know how to entertain
here in Japan. But I do wish that the
typewriting tables were a little higher.
I have managed to last throughout this
letter, but only by dint of stretching
my legs out under the low structure.
It Ls not exactly according to style, but
It Is better than sitting cross-legged.

Results in Season's Second
Casualty.
Thirteen-year-old Alfred Dintaman,
residing at 1230 Neal street northeast,
ls convinced of the danger resulting
from setting off firecrackers in con
nection with the celebration of Inde
pendence day.
Long ago the District Commissioners
banned the use of such explosives as
being dangerous and not In keeping
with the safe and sane method of cele
j brating. Their sale In the District is
i prevented, but it is possible to purchase
them across the boundary.
Alfred, according to the police, par

EXPLAINS GIFTS
Cochran Bequest Carries Out
DonoKs Plans for Annual
$50,000 Fund.
The $1,000,000 bequeathed to Wash
ington Cathedral in the will of Alex
ander Smith Cochran, manufacturer
and philanthropist, of Yonkers, N. Y„
made public yesterday, it was explained
by Cathedral authorities today, carries
out Mr. Cochran's previously expressed
intention of founding a perpetual en
dowment fund of $50,000 annually for
the $350,000 College of Teachers now
in course of erection on Mount Saint
Albans.
In making this explanation. Right
Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of
Washington, said that Mr. Cochran, who
provided anonymously for the College
of Preachers, gave the building as a
memorial to his mother, the late Mrs.
William F. Cochran.
Expressed Intention in 1927.
The original gift, announced in Oc
tober, 1927. provided for a $250,000
structure and at that time, the Cathe
dral authorities explained today. Mr.
Cochran expressed his intention of pro
viding a $50,000 annual income to be
used in carrying forward the institu
tion's activities. In 1928, Mr. Cochran
gave $50,000 to the Cathedral as the in
come for that year, and is understood
to have made provision for the 1929
income.
After his original gift of $250,000 for
the College of Preachers, Mr. Cochran
later gave $150,000 for the construc
tion of a chapel, fcr furnishings and
landscape, making a total of $400,000
in cash, which includes the income for
1928.
Alms of College Set Forth.
The terms of the gift set forth the
alms of the college. Bishop Freeman
announced today. They were as fol
lows :
“The supreme end and purpose of the
Christian religion is the enfranchise
ment and enrichment of the human
soul. To interpret to men the mind of
the Master; to give them an under
standing of the deep and satisfying
values of life; to teach them to employ
rightly the means necessary to salva
tion, is the high and holy privilege of
the Christian ministry. To this end
the college is founded, in the sure con
fidence that the bulwark and sustaining
I strength of the Nation is in an abiding
and unchanging practice of the Chris
tian religion. The college is designed to
give to its students a comprehensive and I
broadly Catholic vision of the history
and unity of the Christian church since
its inception. It will lay unfailing em
phasis on those central and eternal
teachings of the Master which secure to
the Christian ministry its power and
usefulness—through its sacramental of
fice in the priesthood; through its edify
ing and inspirational office in the
prophethood, and through its comfort
ing and consoling office in the pastor
hood.”
“Mr. Cochran,” Bishop Freeman said,
“was a man of such retiring and mod
est habits that he was little known
to the public. He scrupulously avoided
anything that would give him distinc
tion or notoriety as a man of large
affairs or as a philanthropist. Repeat
edly, in large gifts that I was privileged
to administer for him, he Insisted that
no one was to know who the donor was.
Discussed Work on Cathedral.
“When on a visit to him in Paris
two years ago. he discussed with me the I
large work now going on in connection
with Washington Cathedral. At that I
time I told him about a then new en- I
terprise, known as the College of
Preachers. He Immediately disclosed a
keen interest and offered to erect a
suitable building and to guarantee its
maintenance by an endowment.”
The corner stone of the building was
laid by Bishop Freeman in May, 1928, |
and construction now is well advtmced. |
It is planned to hold the first confer
ence in the new structure in Septem
ber, with the formal dedication sched
uled to take place later in the Fall.
The design is collegiate gothic to
harmonize with the architecture of the
Cathedral.
The building will have accommoda
tions for 25 resident students and !
apartments for the warden and his two
assistants. There will be a chapel for
devotional exercises and a great com
mon room about which the life of the
college will revolve. The refectory, or
dining hall, will be unique in that it
will contain a reading desk, from which
one of the students will read aloud dur
ing meals in accordance with a me
dieval custom.
Oxford Method to Be Followed.
The Right Rev. Philip M. Rhine
lander, former Bishop of Pennsylvania
and canon of Washington, is warden
of the college and now is assembling the
faculty and preparing the curriculum.
The Oxford method of instruction, with
small numbers of students living in
close contact with the faculty, will be
followed, although large conferences of
clergymen are planned.
The College of Preachers, according |
to Bishop Freeman, will not compete j
in any way with existing theological
schools or seminaries, as it will func- i
tion as a post-ordination school for men
already in the ministry.
Hungary will spend nearly $3,000,000
in improving some of its International
highways.

“Y” BACHELORS SET UP BROAD
STANDARD FOR IDEAL WIVES
‘Girls With Not Too Much Beauty and
Brains, hut With Lots of Affec
tion Desired.
Bachelors residing in the dormitories
of the Washington Young Men’s Chris
tian Association have set a “broad
minded” standard for the ideal wife,
embracing girls with not too much
beauty and brains but with lots of
affection, plenty of common sense, a
leaning toward religion and a hanker
ing for children.
They are sharply divided, however,
over the question of marrying women
“with a past” or who drink, smoke or
swear, it 1s revealed in returns from a
questionnaire sent to each of the young
men by association officials.
All but one of the men said they
considered the love of some woman
essential to man's happiness, and all but
three agreed that children were neces
sary to a happy domestic circle. One
man hoped for five or six children,
while others said two or three would be
enough.
Seventeen said they would let their
wives handle the money in their home,
11 were positively opposed to such a
course, 7 were in favor of "allowances”
for wives and 5 thought a joint finance
scheme advisable.
Some Hold “Love Is Blind."
All but five men said they .admired
the modern girl, but most of those who
answered had suggestions for her “im
provement,” ranging from “less neck
ing, drinking and smoking” to “less
deceit.” "more prudence" and “more
modesty.”
Ten held that beauty was an indis
pensable attribute to a wife, 13 took
the opposite view and others replied
“it helps,” “preferable." “she must be
■three-fourths beautiful,” “love is blind,”
“she must make the best of her looks,”
etc.
A majority were against wives con
tinuing In office work, but some thought

WINDSOR, Ontario, June 26 (Cana

for the current month should show a
significant drop In the exports of liquor
from the Essex border docks, according
to reports of the United States authori
ties.
Imports at the one-time notorious

In answer the question “What
qualities do you consider most impor
tant in a wife?” there was a diversity
of replies. Among these were that she
should be “open-minded.” of a loving
disposition, possessed of a sense of
humor, faithful, domestic, educated,
conversational, healthy, energetic, in
telligent, neat, personable, a good cook,
sportsmanlike, even-tempered, economi
cal and up to date.
Fifteen were opposed to demanding
that a girl “reveal any mistake she had
made before marriage,” while 11 felt
they should know all. Many said that,
knowing of the girl's past, they would
be willing to marry her, providing she
had reformed. Others said; "If you
love the girl, you will forget”; “I'm no
angel, and I wouldn't expect her to be
one”; "Mistakes are not always the
girl’s fault"; "If she was weak before,
she will be weak after”; “Marriage i
should be founded on trust in each
other”; “I would rather hear about It
from her than some one else”; “I
wouldn’t dare ask her, because she
might ask me.”
As for the girl who drinks, smokes
or swears, 20 stated they didn't think
she would make a good wife and 9 said
It wouldn't make any difference. One
thought, drinking and smoking were O.
K., but tabooed swearing; another was
in favor of “limited Indulgence,” and
another said that if he loved the girl
enough “nothing could stop me.”
