Thousands Pay Final Tribute To Huey Long

(A.P. By Guardian’; Epoch! Wire)

BATON ROUGE, Len Sept. 12- l-iuey P. Long was buried today in the surroundings where he rose from obscurity to directing genius of a political empire unparallded in United States history.

Around the grave and extending over the broad terraced acres of the State House Park were thou- sands who came to pay tribute to the Louisiana dictator and United States Senator who died at the hands of an assassin.

Rich and poor, national figures and leaders of the organization Long welded into an erasing po- litical machine stood in silence as the bronze casket containing the body was lowered into the grave. Many tear stained faces were seen in the great throng.

Before the casket was closed to public view state officials esti- mated 100.000 persons saw the body as it lay in state in the rotunda of the towerin! $5,000,000 state house Long built. They said be- tween 150,000 and 200000 were in the vicinity of the capitol during the funeral services.

Adolf Hitler. always the master of surprise tactics, created a new sen- sation today by calling the Reich- siag into session here Sunday to hear a proclamation from him on the vexing Memel problem.

With the exception of the con- stitutional convention at Welmar in i919 and the ccremonious opening of the first Iiitleritc Relchstag in Potsdam in 1033. Reich members always have met in Berlin. The body now has virtually no author- ity.

Foreign correspondents were told Hitler had learned certain facts ab- out the treatment of Germans in the Memel terltory which makes it necessary ‘for him to raise his voice in warning before the world. I-le is expected to appeal to signa- tories of the Memel guarantee. namely Britain. France. Italy and Japan, ‘to see that justice is done.

Two Stokers Missing l/Vhen H.M.S. YorkSails

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) BOSTON, Sept. 12~-H. M. S. York of the Royal Navy sailed from Boston for Newport today but there was some doubt whether or not two stokers, at least one 01' whom was involved in an interna- tional romance, sailed with her.

Just before the York left port, of- fioers said all members of her crew were on board.

At about the same time. the Bos- ton police said they had been asked to search for the two siokers, both believed to be in uniform. Before the conflicting reports could be checked, the York had sailed.

One, of the men involved was Henry E. G. Warr of London who had announced plans to wed Kath- ryn S. Geyer of Vero Beach. Fla. when the York arrived in Newport. He was due back aboard the York at 'l n. m. Sept. 10 but up to this momlng had not appeared. The other was William Bench‘ who had not made public his "plans. if any. Shipmates said Warr had met Mim Geyer in Bermuda, where the York "is based. v

He saw widespread disas- ter in continuation of this sort of partisan competition.

“Yet? he added, “partisan pre- judices are so strong and partisan misrepresentations so prevalent that it may well be doubted whether men and women of sane and sound judgment are sufficiently numerous and influential to bring into full cf- fcct such a reasonable solution of our difficulties."

Hon. J. G. Gardiner Launches Liberal Campaign In Kings County — Inconsist- encies Appear In Address.

The expressed unwillingness of Premier James G. Gardiner of Saskatchewan to admit that the Bennett Government, was respons- ible for the hard times existing slncc 1930 caused some consterna- tion among Kings County Liberals at the party rally held last evening in the Montague Rink. While crit- icising Conservative policies, the Premier termed the statements of some Liberal speakers he had heard as “not correct." Consistency, how- ever, was not a characteristic of the address, as the speaker endeavoured elsewhere in his speech to convey the idea by implication that the government was responsible.

Misunderstanding among nations was the cause of depression, Prem- ier Gardiner believed, and under- standings were necessary to recov- ery. To prove this assertion he nt- tributed an increase in world trade before, the War to the pre-war Franco-Russian agreement, falling to add that this agreement was a phase in the complicated system of alliances, which finally resulted in the Great War.

Mr. C. B. Clay, President oi the Kings County Liberal Association. was chairman of ilhe meeting. The speakers in addition to Premier Gardiner, were the four Liberal candidates. Dr. T. V. Grant. Messrs. Peter Sinclair, J. J. Larabee and A. E. MacLean, and Hon. B. W. Lo- Page. '

Apparently the audience was not as large as that expected, as a con- siderable section of the seats re- mained unoccupied. The reception accorded the visitor could scarcely be termed enthusiastic. although the address was extremely plausible, and sparkled with oratorical gems and wit.

On n stage brilliant with floral decorations. sat the flower of Kings County Liberalism. ailgmented by several visitors from the other counties. From a. picture lrnmc in the background. the party leader smiled benlgnly upon the gathering.

Chief of County detectives Pran- cis Grubb refused to permit release of Rogers and Kelly from the West. Chester County Jail after announc- ing discovery of “new evidence" which he said might lead to more serious charges. Earlier. the district attorney considered allowing bail of $1.000 for their freedom. The for- mal charge was "suspicion of mur- der."

GENEVA, Sept. 12—(C.P. Haves) —Economlc and financial sanctions will bc voted against Ifaly by the Council of the League of Nations, Haves learned on the highest auth- ority tonight, should Mussolini rc- Ject a compromise now being work- ed out by lhe five-power committee and resort to war in defiance of the Covenant.

France has definitely decided to support the application of article 16 of the Covenant, authorizing sanctions, if it is invoked in case of aggression. as it will be. Enough small powers are behind France and Great Britain, which has con- sistently advocated such action in the last resort, to assure its vic- tory.

It will take an unanimous vote of the League Council to invoke sanc- tions, npart from the dlsputants themselves.

Back British Stand

Delegates from the Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden, the latter understood to be speaking for the whole Scandinavian bloc. before the Assembly today all expressed them- sclvcs firmly in favor of the Brit- ish stand that the Covenant must be upheld, and all members share the responsibility of malntalnfn peace. .

England has been won over to French opposition to use of military and naval sanctions, which might @8511)’ provoke a European war. She has definitely decided not to use her navy to close the Suez Cunal against Italian military traffic.

Unanimous support of the com- promise to be proposed by the con- cillation committee may not be ncc- essary. it was learned. If it is ap- proved by a majority of the coun- cil, it will be prcsrxltbci to Italy and Ethiopia. Acceptance by the latter country is taken m- gnntcd. If 1t- aly refuses. and brains nggressive action in East Africa. the- council will be called into special session to vote sanctions.

Mutual Accord

It is understood that the agree- ment on economic and financial sanctions and abnn-‘onment of mil- itary and naval sanctions was reached in conversations between Pierre Laval. French Premier and Foreign Minister, and Sir Samuel Hoare. British Foreign Secretary.

Premier Levin's speech before the League Assembly. scheduled for today. was postponed until to- morrow, when he is expect :1 to en- nounce officially France's support of the policy of sanctions.

At the same time. he will rec- ommend use of the conciliatory machinery of the Leis-sue to prevent a spread of the conflict if an Italo- Ethiopian war should break out de- spite all efforts to stop it.
