? Re\ Even Congre--. Eager to Adjourn. Passes Relief Kill De-iirned to ^uit President ? Meaning of Lausanne Agree ment ? New Franco-British Accord. By EDWARD \V. PICKARD SPEAKER GARNER. having estab lished his pet campaign Issue of gorernmeDt loans to Individuals, was content to let stand President Hoover's veto of the Wagner Garner relief trill con taining that feature. No a: temp was made In either house or sen ate to pass I he meas ure over the veto and h"fh chambers speed ily prepared and passed new hills de signed to conform in the main tc the Pres ident's wisiies. Mr. Garner, assuming "that m??st of you gentlemen would like to go home." fixed things so the two hills were sent to immediate conference so the dif- ( Terences could be ironed out and con gress could adjourn. In the senate the remaking of the measure was managed largely by Sen ator Wagner of New York. One amendment adopted at the Instance of Senator Glass would permit federal reserve hanks for h two-year period by vote of the federal reserve board snd In "unusual and exigent circum stances'* to make loans to any Indi vidual or corporation unable to secure credit from other banking Institutions. This at first was repugnant to the President hut he changed his mind over night and informed Senator Glass would nr.t object to its inclusion in the measure. In other respects, save for mln'-r variations, the meausre Is much the same as the one Mr. Hoover vetoed, with the Garner loan clause omitted. GREAT BRITAIN and France an no u need a new understanding, known as a "confidence" accord, which the French regard as a renewal of the entente cordiale. The> agr^e to work together for the restoration of Europe nnd to keep each other mu tually informed of questions coming to their notice similar to that "now So happily settled at 1-nusanne.** Sir J.?hn Simon, telling parliament of the accord, said flatly It has noth Ing to do with the war debts due the I'nited States from Britain and France, adding: "If the French peo pie believe such Is the case they will he quickly undeceived." On the other hand, when Premier Herrlot annoum-e<1 the agreement In Paris he declared that Great Britain cannot n ?w under take to negotiate a new debt settle ment with America without first con suiting France. Simon said the pact was not intended to be exclusive and that Germany. Italy and Belgium had been invited to associate in its pro- 1 visions with France and Britain. EUROPE is saved a train, subject to ratification of the I^iusanne agreement, as Wintson Churchill de clared in the British Dions. And ratifi?*a tion is subject to can cellation or heavy re duction of the war dehts the European nations owe the Unit ed States. No Euro pean power has di rectly proposed to the United States a re vision of those debts; but such action is hoped for and even expected t>y states men of the former al lied nations of Eu rope. The sentiment is absolutely against cancellation. That. In a nutshell. Is the status concerning the pact signed ar Lau sanne by the European i?owers where by Germany Is to be relieved of all obligations in the way of reparations on payment of a lump sum of 3,o00. OUO.OUO gold marks?about $714,000. 000. At the same time that they initialed this agreement the repre sentatives of Germany's chief cred itors signed a secret -gentlemen'# pact" that their respective parlia ments would not ratify the treaty un til tbe United States had roconsld ered the question of reducing tbe debts due her from Europe. And If America's decision Is adverse to sucb reduction, tbe Lausanne treaty be come* of no effect and tbe repara tions situation reverts to ita former status under tbe Young settlement. The German government declared Germany bad nothing whatever to do with the rent lens en's agreement. Churchill rigorously attacked tbe whole proceeding* at Lausanne. He said that from his knowledge of pub Sen Wagner Winston Churchill In Washington | lie opinion in America, he believed "no more unfortunate approach to | ward debt cancellation could have | been made." Prime Minister MacDonaM and Chancellor of the Exchequer Chain berlain both replied to tiie attacks of Churchill and others. The latter said r "We are still ready to cancel all debts due us. If the United States should decide to cancel all debts due her. our offer is still open. If America still feels site must ask us to pay more than we have received, we must consider what we are going to do. Before we know what America will propose to do In the matter It would be unreasonable for us to con sent to cancel the debts of our Euro pean allies.** Though the Lausanne agreement reduces Germany's liabilities in the way of reparations to about one per cent, it d?>es not remove from Ger many the stigma of having been sole ly to blame for the World war. There fore It is rejected by Hitler's Nazis and 19 distasteful to the Nationalists. Hitler declared that the new treaty "will not be worth three marks within six months." The German cabinet approved Chancellor Von Pupen s ac tion in signing the treaty. A GREEMENT with the govern merits of the Dominion of Can ada and Ontario on the St. Lawrence seaways project was on the verge of being completed, hut presumably would not be In time for ac tion by the senate at this session. Premier Henry of Ontario said it would be signed "within a week or so." Presi dent Hoover had di rected the efforts to bring the matter to a speedy conclusion, and Hanford Mac N 1 d e r. minister to Canada, was in Wash ington assisting the State department in the negotiations, in which Secre tary Stimson. Canadian Minister Her rldge. James Grafton Rogers, assist ant secretary of state in charge of the St. Lawrence plan, and John Hicker son. the depuremenf's expert on Can adian affairs, were especially active. An interesting incident was the of fer of Gov;" rfanklin D. Roosevelt to go to Washington and help President Hoover in expedltlnu the negotiations. The President Immediately and po litely refused the offer. advising the governor to go ahead with his va i cation cruise because "international I treaties fall under the Jurisdiction of the federal government." ON MOTION of Senator Couzens of Michigan, the senate appointed a ! committee of five senators to investi gate loans by the Reconstruction Fi nance corporation. The inquiry will be conducted in secret and a report will not he made until next January. Administration senators threw their stipiHirt to the Couzens plan to head off a resolution by Senator Norris of Nebraska for immediate publicity of all loans. Critical references were made dur ing the debate by Senators Couzens and Norris to an S80.<mki.000 loan by the corporation to what was called "the Dawes bank" in Chicago. ?? IMMEDIATE" does not mean now * in the lexicon of the Democrats in the senate. Twice they were given the opportunity to vote for immediate legalization of beer. In accordance with their national party platform, and twice they refused. Their Intention, now achieved, was to put c IT the test until after the November election. Their excuse was that they should not be called on to vote on the proposition until an authoritative definition of an Intoxicant could be obtained. Sena tor Bingham's beer bill was buried In committee, and later Senator Shep pard of Texas prevented consideration of ? resolution offered by Bingham In strutting the surgeon general of the United States to poll leading phy stcians and physiologists as to their opinion of what constituted an Intoxi cating beverage. Asburst of Arizona then took a hand. -The senator from Connecticut," he chlded, "has been attempting to do whst be called test the sincerity of the Democratic senators.' Never did he apply a true test Let me tell him how.

There wi;i t?e no attempt on the fwrt of the he::i??cratic sei :;;!ors to avoid their platform.** Whereupon the wily F.ir _-hara imme diately produced jus: su?.h a resolu tion and asked una:.!:: ?? is consent to call it up for action. Senators Robin son and Watson, t rity and ma jority leaders, agreed ti.'< was not the proper occasion for > a measure, so the resolution revjained on the table. U7HKTHKK Smith Reynolds, young heir to the great tobacco for tune. committed s-: -e in his home at Winston Salem. N. C. or was mur dered is still unset tied. The coroners Jury found he came to death nt the hands of '"persons un known." and so his widow. the former I.ibby H o I m a n of Stage fame, and his chum and secretary. Albert Walker, were set free by the police. But Sheriff Transou Mrs. Reynolds Scott says the case is by no means closed, and the authorities w 1 continue their inquiry Into the suspicious circum stances surround ir;g the tragedy. The case is sensational In the ex treme and the details have filled many columns in the newspapers. Mrs Reynolds, weeping and near collapse, departed from Winston Salem with her parents for Cincin nati. their home, and was expected to go from there to some secluded place In the mountains. heading lawyers agree that her unborn child. If born alive, will he a legitimate heir to the S1.V00M.00o left In trust to young Reynolds by his father, though there Is a possibility that this child's chance to Inherit uiignt ne eliminat ed by a S1.0MM.0Mo settlement which Smith Reynolds gave his first child when her mother obtained a divorce. In any case It does not seem that Lib by Ilolmun Is due to receive any , considerable part of the big estate. PERU experienced nn attempt at revolution when a lot of civilian Communists let! by army officers re belled against the government and seized the Important commercial city of TruJIIlo. Hut* within a few days loyal troops had bombed them Into submission and recaptured the city. Brazil was not having so easy a time with a revolutionary movement that broke out In the state of Sao Paulo with the expressed Intention of overthrowing the government of Provisional president Getulio Vargas. The city of Sao Paulo was occupied by the insurgents and it was reported that they had been Joined by federal troops sent against them. Peace overtures were made to the rebels by Vargas. ON JULY 21 there will open in Ottawa the economic conferencf of the British Empire, which irirp. 1 promise of being one of the raost Impor j tant gatherings of its kind ever held. Al most one-quarter of the world's population will be represented, and It Is ihe hop? of Britain that the con ference will succeed In diverting about one-third of the ' world's trade to Great Britain and her do i minions to the disad vantage of the Unit- R. B. Bennett ed States Argen 1 tina and other countries now holding a considerable share of the British commonwealth trade. This hope. In j the opinion of competent observers, will scarcely be realized. R. B. Bennett, prime minister of j Canada. Is hoit to the conference and he has this to say of its objects and ambitions: "The Imperial Economic confer ence should devote its energies and i abilities, with a common purpose and whole-hearted zeal, to deepening the I channels of lntra-lmperial trade b. ; Judicious adjustments of tariffs and \ other measures, which will aim to I create a larger volume of mutually j profitable trade between the different ! units of the empire than now exists, and to make their unrivaled resources available In greater degree for the diffusion of a higher standard of well being among Its citizens than they now enjoy." Among the highly Interested unof ficial observers will be those from the United States, eager to know what will be the results of the present tariff ; law that Is aimed largely at t^anad*. (t Is known In Ottawa and In Wash ington that Mr. Bennett Is resdy to say to the English delegates: -hire us s preference In yoor market and we will give yon free entry of goods not produced In the Dominion.** Which would be a sad hlow to the United States business man if ?t were not for the 'act that the English manu facturer wonld be handicapped by transportation charges.

Britain and France Form a New Entente London. ? A Franco-British entente for settlement of European political problems intertwined with the finan cial and economic problems Involved In the Lausanne agreement was an nounced simultaneously In London > and in Paris. Sir John Simon, foreign secretary, I made the announcement in the house ' of commons. He emphasized that the j accord has nothing to do with war I debts due America and in no way af- I fects the interests of the United ' States, but is concerned only with I European problems. Paris. ? I'remler Edouard Herriot | told the finance committee of the j chamber that the new British-French i accord means that neither nation will \ make any new debt agreements with the United States without consulting the other. Hoover Rejects Rival's Waterway Advice Offer j Washington. ? The first direct issue i between President Hoove, and his I Democratic riv*l for the Presidency was drawn when Mr. Hoover rejected Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt's proposal 1 for a personal conference on the St. j Ijiwrence waterway project before 1 the United States signs a treaty with ' Canada. The President telegraphed the gov ernor that it would not be necessary \ for him to interrupt his Cape Cod cruise for a trip to Washington, since j international treaties fall solely with in the Jurisdiction of the federal gov ernment and there wonld be no oc casion for Washington to consult him (Mr. Roosevelt) or the spokesmen of other Interested states until the treaty had been concluded and ratified.
