SILVERITES IN CONCLAVE
Grievances Voiced
Washington, July 16 Senator Patrick McCarran to- day called a meeting of a dozen Suverites of the Senate at which he voiced grievances against the Administration silver policies.
իւ
Is stated that the object. In this increase in the bulding pro- cer-gramme is to establish once again the fighting efficiency of the Army a'r Corps which, it is feared, has suffered recently.
Referring to the reorganisation of the police, Sir John Simon paid a tribute to Lord Trenchard, Chief Commissioner of Police There were 180 separate Police Forces in Sngland and Wales, and it was im- portant to get close co-operation
between these Forces for many
purposes. A great deal was being. done to enlist science on the side of crime fighting.
The Jubilee review of the Police Forces by the King next Sunday was a reminder to the British pub- Jic of the reason it had to be proud of this great civil force. which had won for British police- man reputation abroad, as well as at home, for coolness, courtesy and good temper.
SL John Simon ⚫ mentioned figures in the annual report of the Chief Inspector of Factories bear- ing on the extent of accidents among young persons, and said the true solution was to be found in education in safety among boys and girls as a result of voluntary efforts undertaken with the good- will of employers, workers and others.

The War Department told the Committee that it needed 700 planes to bring the Army Air Corps up to the strength recommended by the recent Board of Investiga- tion. Reuter.
ITALO-ABYSSINTAN DISPUTE
ESpecial to the "Hong Kong Daily Press" (Copyright).]
Pans, July 15. According in Information eman- at ng from diplomatic circles here, a scheme for the solution of the Italic-Abyssian, dispute has been formed, which proposes to find a way out of the difficulty of ap- peasing Italy and the prestige of Le League of Nations, by putting the whole responsibility for 2 peaceful settlement squarely on the shoulders of Abyssinia.
It is suggested that Italy should at the forthcoming meeting of the League Council present her bill of indictment against Abyssinia, re- proaching the latter with her fal-

WANTS REFORM Senator Patrick McCarran to- day introduced a bill for the repeal of the fifty per cent. tax on silver transactions.

The new member is Secretary of the Liverpool branch of the Boilermakers' Society.
If Abyssinia should adhere. Italy would be given a limited mandate over Abyssinia. It the latter should. however, refute these ac-i cusations, then Italy would for- mally move against Abyssinia,
Little hope is held here that this
scheme will prove successful, since according to the latest reports from. Addis Ababa, Abyssinia is deter- mined to reject any such proposal,;{ while Italy on the" other hand is continuing her military pre- parations with such unflagging energy that the outbreak of hosti-
