After Party Leadership
Lasting 12 Years.
(By Associated Press)'
OTTAWA, Ont., July 29.-After 12
years in power, the Liberal govern-
ment of W. L. MacKenzie King has
been overthrown. The Conservative
party, headed by Richard Bedford
Bennett, won a majority of seats in
the house of commons in Monday's
general election.
With three ridings missing, re-
turns today showed the Conserva-
tives had captured 136 of the 245
seats. The remainder of the 242
seats decided were divided as fol-
lows: Liberals, 84; United Farmer,
10; Progressive, 2; Liberal-Progres-
sive, 2; Labor, 3; Independent, 5.
The necessary number for a major-
ity is 124.
Liberals Were Leaders
The standing of the parties in
the last parliament was Liberal,
123; Conservative, 90; Liberal-Prog-
ressive, 9; 'Progressives, 7; Inde-
pendent, 2; United Farmer, 11; La-
bor, 3. The Liberals lacked one of
a majority after electing a speaker,
but had the aid of the Liberal-
Progressives.

There they gained 20 seats, increas-
ing the four Quebec seats they held

defeated two Liberal ministers.
Bennett won an easy victory in
his constituency in Calgary, Alta.

'F. B. HAAS SPEAKS
The Child in the Educational
Machine' Is Discussed in
Education Series.
NAMES SCHOOL TRENDS
Prof. Francis B. Haas, president
of State Teachers College, Blooms-
bury, Penn., delivered the ninth
lecture on the education school
Afternoon Conference series yes-
terday. His subject was "The Child
in the Educational Machine."
"The school, society's institution
for formal education, tends natur-
ally and necessarily to become com-
plex since the school is an integral
part of the social fabric," Profes-
sor Haas stated.
"One major characteristic of this
civilization," he continued, "appar-
ently is the conquest of nature by
man through the skillful develop-
ment of the machine. Relatively
the product of the machines serves
immediate functions measurable
by machine made instruments of
precision. The product of the
school serves immediate and future
functions in social behaviors and
human values."
"It is difficult," Professor Haas
went on, "in the complex social or-
ganization to segregate the so-
called machinery from the desir-
able outcomes."
Professor Haas went on to dis-
cuss the methods of simplifying the
complexity of the educational ma-
chine, in its relation to child edu-
cation.

Narcotic Agents Unearth Five
Gangs Operating in Three
Cities of Country.
20 LEADERS ARRESTED
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, July 29. - De-
scending on huge narcotic rings in
three widely separated cities, agents
of the newly reorganized narcotic
division of the treasury made 20
arrests over the week-end and cap-
tured persons who were said to be
the leaders of five narcotic gangs.
At the same time, the raiders
seized large quantities of morphine
I and heroin and believed they had
broken up smuggling operations
that brought millions of dollars
worth of narcotics into this coun-
try each year from Turkey. The
leader of one gang, it was announc-1
ed, was arrested in his office in the
Woolworth building in New York as
he was preparing a quantity of
morphine for shipment to San
Francisco.
Announcement of the raid, which'
started Saturday and ended last
night, was made today by Harry J.
Anslinger, acting director of the
narcotic division. He said agents j
had arrested the ring leaders of
five gangs and had captured all
the principals in the narcotic smug-
gling scheme along the Atlantic
coast.

"The Englishmen have been able

sion," declared Prof. James K. Pol-

not dyed red and turned Bolshe-

Inviting a deeper understanding
of the depressed conditions of the
island where hundreds of. thoZ-
sands of boys have grown to man-j
hood without doing an honest day's
work, Professor Pollock sketched
the rise of the Labor party into
power and office in the May elec-
tions of 1929. The Labor party hold-
ing office at the sufferance of the
Liberals, has achieved nothing
striking in its socialist program,
Professor Pollock said.;
Laborites Boast Treaty 1
"Reduction of military and naval
budgets, increase in the income tax,I
higher death duties or inheritance
tax are some of the achievements
of the Labour Government," said1
Professor Pollock, "besides the ne-
gotiation and ratification of the'
London Naval Treaty in which our
government shares the s u c c e s s.
Cordial relationships between the
two Anglo-Saxon nations are as-
sured," he said.I
"In unemployment, the major
political problem of England, how-
ever, the Labour Government has
not been successful," Professor Pol-
lock said, "and although the LiberalI
Party had the most constructive
program for the amelioration of the
unemployment problem the elec-
toral system of Britain did not giveI
as many seats to the Liberal party
as their real strength over the
country would have entitled them."
Free Trade To Be Issue
"Tariff Reform and Free Trade1
will probably be the issue of the
next general election," Professor
Pollock predicted. "England has
been a free-trade country since the
repeal of the Corn Laws and Stan-'
ley Baldwin, the former Conserva-
tive prime minister, who has em-
braced the safeguarding, or protec-
tionist, policy has about faced un-
der the pressure of the press bar-'

Free Trade," said Professor Pol-
lock, "has little chance of being
realized because of the Australian
Labour Party protectionist policy
and the recent Canadian election
of the Conservatives to power. A
stimulation of prosperity in Britain
may be looked forward to, if this
policy could be materialized," he
said.

Naval authorities reported they
