News Review of Current j Events the World Over Americans in London Conference Reject Temporary Stabilization of Dollar and Offer Economic Program; Three More States for Prohibition Repeal. By EDWARD W. PICKARD Exasperated by accusations that they were balking the operations of the world conference In 1-ondon, the American delegates placed their cards on the table, Inform that the United Stales 1 would not consider the temporary stabili zation of the dollar during the life of the meeting, as was de manded by the gold bloc. They also pre sented their economic program, moving the adoption of a resolu tion binding all na tions to cease raising ixy 1 Raymond Moley xruue oarners against eacn other, to remove embargoes, quotas, and other I arbitrary restrictions, and to scale I down tariffs by reciprocal agreements. The delegation then moved the adoption of another resolution com mitting the nations to co-operative ac tion in expanding credit and in gov ernment expenditures on public works for the purpose of reviving industry. Meanwhile Prof. Raymond Moley, assistant secretary of state, was on his way to London for a week's stay, having been sent hurriedly by Presi dent Roosevelt to act as a sort of liaison officer between the delegation and the President. While the Americans were framing their statement the French were fum ing and threatening to bring about ad journment of the conference, and Prime Minister MacDonald was vis ibly worried. But .Tames M. Cox, chairman of the monetary committee, talked privately with George Bonnet, French minister of finance, and ex plained Mr. Roosevelt's position on the stabilization question in detail. He outlined the Roosevelt inflation program, told how cheapening the value of the dollar was bringing about a rise of commodity prices and paint ed a glowing picture of reviving pros perity at home. So the French dele gates consented not to disrupt the conference just yet, anyhow. Secretary of State Hull, it was ru mored, intended to return to the United States soon after the arrival of Moley. He refused to confirm or deny this re port, and he nteo declined to express pessimism concerning the success of the conference, fte had a long private talk with King George hut of course could not reveal what was said. Mr. Hull took the occasion to deny reports that the American delegation was badly split on the course to pursue in the conference. It had been re ported that Senator Couzens of Michi gan had read the riot net to the dele gation. asserting that the Americans, must docide-,whethcr to stand for a nationalistic program, represented by the powers conferred on President Roosevelt by congress, or by an inter natibnalistic program, represehted by the rIris of the conference.' Mr. Hull said he eoqld see no incon sistency. The domestic programs of r ivery from depression in the United S'r tes and other nations, as he viewed It. wore to be reinforced by an Inter national program to be adopted at this conference. C FN A TOR KEY PITTMAN of the American delegation submitted to the monetary committee of the con f? r- noo his proposal for currency re form, in five clauses. The committee promptly nnd pleas antly accepted tlie fir-t two clauses. *1 h urged that sta Nhty in the Interna tional monetary field attained "as quick ly as practicable" and that gold he re-estab ns the interna ti-rr.l measure of ex clmi'ffe values. Key Pittman Mr Pittman beamed and thanked 1 "mimlttee. hut the gold standard *'?'?0 then got Into action and decided the other clauses of the memo r hU the most Important part? reduction of currency cover Zzf> In gold and remonetization of sil V(; ' re ?o serious and Intricate as demand study. The gold bloc dele ft-* urged that they he referred to Ittees and subcommittees for and Investigation, which was dairies P. Warburg of the United States and Lord Hailsham of Great Britain supported the Plttman reso ltsti<?n. Ixird Hailsham also Intro duced an amendment to the Plttman ^sol'ition proTldlm that each nation should be the Judge of the time and the parity at which It will return to the gold standard. Mr. Warburg also made it quite plain that the United States would re turn to gold only when and how she wished and would not submit to any international order on this point. REDUCTION of world wheat crops was discussed at length In the economic section, and experts attached to the various delegations made what was hopefully termed a substantial ad vance toward an agreement among the United States, Canada, Australia and Argentina to cut output by 15 per cent. Before the committee Stanley Bruce of Australia said that commonwealth would not accept the French plan to reduce the production of primary com modities as a means of raising prices. He presented the thesis that It was up to the industrial countries of the world to stop trying to be agricul turally self-contained and buy food from agricultural countries In ex change for manufactured goods. The world has not forgotten the dls | concerting proposal of I.itvinov of Rus sia In the armament conference, that the nations represented should agree to disarm immediately. Well, the Rus sian repeated In I.ondon, submitting a draft proposal calling for an economic nonaggression pact by which, the na tions would bind themselves to refrain from economic attack on each other by means of discriminatory tariffs, special duties or conditions of trade, railway tariffs, charges on shipping, and any kind of boycott by legal or administrative measures. Of course this was too forthright to meet with the approval of the other delegates. THREE more states are now in the prohibition repeal column, the to tal number being fourteen?and not one yet for the drys. The latest common-' wealths to vote for ratification of the repeal amendment are Iowa, Connecti cut and New Hampshire. Connecticut was one of the two states that never ratified the prohibition amendment and" the. result there was considered a foregone conclusion. The wets won by about 6 to 1. Iowa and New Hamp shire, however, had been placed in the doubtful list, so when they turned In substantial majorities for repeal, there was great rejoicing among the anti prohibitionists. SUMNER WEU.ES, our astute am . bSsaador to Cuba, seems to be pro gressing with his plans for bringing about peace on that troubled island. iit? ? (113 Bv.iirui*r iui uicur ation has been ac cepted by the pro fessors and students In Havana, foes of President Mac ha do, and they have told their delegates In the P'nited States to get In line or quit the op position organization. With the assured support of the A. B. C. Secret society, the professors, the Na Sumner Welles tionalist union, the faction headed by Miguel Mariano Gomez and, probably, the partisans of former President Mario G. Menocal, observers believed the ambassador had behind him suffi cient opposition strength to Justify the early opening of deliberations. It is predicted that the main points of the conciliation program will be: Immediate restoration of political normalcy throughout the Island, liber ation of political prisoners, restora tion of the suspended guarantees, press freedom and recall of military supervisors. Constitutional reforms restoring the office of Vice President, eliminated in 1028, providing for his selection im mediately after the reforms go into effect; curtailment of the terms of public officials prorogued In 1028 and forbidding any President to succeed himself. Reform of the electoral code. In this Dr. Howard I.ee McBnln of Co lumbia university has been Invited to aid. TWO of the world's most prominent woman radicals died within a few hours of each other. Rose Pastor Stokes passed away In Frankfort, Ger many. Born In Russia and married to an American millionaire, she devot ed her/fife to social service and the labor movement and in her later years turned to Communism. Clara Zetkln. who died (a ? ml torlnm near Moscow, was for years a Communist member of the Germuu rek-hstag and once was a candidate for the Presidency of Germany. Lust year she presided over the opening session of the reichstag as its oldest member and demanded the impeach ment of President Von Uindenburg.

He acted as skip per of the schooner Amberjuck II, and, while he took no unnecessary chances with the wea theft he handled tlie little vessel with skill and nerve. A coast guard cutter and one destroy er accompanied the Amberjuck, and of course the press boats went along. After the start Mr. Roosevelt tried to avoid the photographers. DEDICATION of the Illinois water way and the lakes to the gulf wa ter route was the occasion of spectacu lar ceremonies In Chicago near the mouth of the river. Secretary of \\ar George H. Dern flew there by airplane to make an address, and he was ac companied by Speaker Henry T. Ral ney and MaJ.-Gen. Lyfle llrown, chief of the army engineers. Scores of other prominent persons took feiaH in the do ings. One of the features of the day was the arrival of a tow bt Mississip pi river barges carrying the first com mercial cargo over the lakeeuto gulf route from New Orleans to Chicago. It was escorted by the official yacht of the port of New Orleans and other craft In one ceremony, Mayor Kelly of Chicago Joined Mayor T. Semines Walmsley of New Orleans in blending water brought from the Gulf of Mex ico with that of Lake Michigan. Among other speakers were Governor Horner of Illinois, Maj.-Gen. Thomas Q.

Dispatches from Riga, the only source of fairly trustworthy news about Soviet Russia, say that Moscow's trade monopoly Is anxiously searching for a nation that will grant the millions of dollars of credit nec essary to hoy grain for the starving pop ulation of Russia.

Skvlrskl, It is said, has received Instructions to do every thing possible to purchase grain with a minimum of publicity since Itussla has decided to keep the tragic news of the present famine hidden from the world. According to Latvian and Estonian diplomats stationed at Moscow, Rus sia has cotton enough to export but not enough to operate her own mills and while Moscow Is willing to take any thing'the United States will sell her on credit, the nation's chief need Is grain. Chancellor hitler of Germany delivered a decisive blow to the nationalist followers of Dr. Alfred Hugenberg, minister o^ agriculture and economics, when lie dissolved their j fighting units throughout the relch. The police, assisted by Nazi storm troops, raided the headquarters of the nationalist fighters in all the cities and made many arrests. It was then t officially announced that these units 1 would hereafter be forbidden. The Steel Helmet war veterans' organiza tion In the Puesseldorf district also was suppressed. Though Chancellor Dollfuss of Aus- | tria professes to want nothing but peace with the German nazis, he has ! issued a decree outlawing their party ! and all affiliated organizations In Aus tria.

THET CHILDREN'S STORY By THORNTON W. BURGESS PETER NOTICES A FUNNY SMELL WHKNEVKR Short-Tall the Shrew was near him, Peter Rabbit would keep sniffing and sniffing. From some where there was coming a funny smell that he didn't Just exactly like. It reminded him something of the scent Jerry Muskral carries tfitb him and is so fond of, and which has given him his name of Muskrat It was a musky smell. At first Peter didn't think that It might be coining from Short-Tail, but finally Short-Tall no ticed the way In which Peter was sniffing. "What are you sniffing for?' demand ed Short-Tail. "I was Just trying to make out where that queer smell comes from," replied Peter. Short-Tail stopped running about long enough to take two or three sniffs "I don t smell anything queer." said lie. "I would almost think Jerry Musk rat had been here,'" said Peter sniffing harder than ever. Short-Tail began to chuckle. "1 know what It is." he said, "only I don't think there is anything queer about iL It Is me you smell. To be exact. It Is the scent ^ carry with me. I like It myself, bift I've been pleased to note that there are many people who do not like it The more that don't like it the better suited 1 am." "Why," demanded Peter, "1 should think that If you like it, yourself, you would want everybody else to like It. I would." "Perhaps you would and perhaps you wouldn't,** retorted Short-Tall "If you were in my place you would feel exact ly as I do about it. All the members of my family like flint scent. It makes finding each other an easy matter. But Reddy Fox and Red-Tail the Hawk and most of the others who hunt little folks like me don I like that scent.....Jusi as soon as they smell It they go looking for someone else. About the only one who doesn't seem to mind It is Hooty the Owl. I hate that fellow. Yes. sir, I hate tfiat fellow. If he only made some noise with his wings I wouldn't mind hiin so much because I've got as quick a pair of ears ps anybody. But my eyes are not much use?" "I shouldn't think they would be.' Interrupted Peter, for the firftt time noticing how very tiny Short Tail's eyes were. "They are*plenty good enough for nil my needs" sputtered Short-Tall rath er hotly, for he Is quick tempered. MIf I can tell light from dark, that Is about all 1 care. My nose and my ears tell me everything else 1 need *t. know. I couldn't get along with eyes any big ger than I've got. No, sir, never in the world. Big eyes would be a nuisance. Bah! Who wants big eyes!" At this funny speech Peter blinked his own eyes very fast. It was a most surprising thing to hear anyone with such little pin-point eyes say that big eyes would be a nuisance "Kvery body to his own taste," retorted Peter. "For my part I don't see what objec tion you can have to big eyes. I should think you would want to see a little something." 'And get them full of sand every time I dig a tunnel? No, trunk you! You may have big eyes if you want them, but for rue the smaller the bet ter," snapped Short-Tall, 'listen I I hear footsteps!" Short-Tail disap peared along one of his little paths! ? 1933 by T. W.
