News Review of Current Events the World Over Banters and President Roosevelt Move Toward an Accord; War Clouds Still Hover Over Balkans; Legion for Bonus Cash Payment. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ? by Western Newspaper Union. FOUR thousand or so financiers gath ered in Washington for the annual convention of the American Bankers' association, and It became apparent at once that they were far from unani mous In their opinions concerning the economic policies of the New Deal Francis Marion Law of Houston, Texas, retiring president of the association, gave out an Interview In which he said he believed that economic recovery had arrived at a point where bankers of the United States could honestly advise business men to go into debt again In order to put idle bank re serves to work. Further, he stated that bankers feel that the securities of the United States government are the best investment "on the face of the earth" and that there need be no con cern over the condition of government credit What made >:hls expression especial ly noteworthy was the fact that only recently the federal advisory council, composed of leading bankers, issued a warning that government credit was being menaced by the unbalanced con dition of the 'ederal budget and the nnstablllzed dollar. Then appeared before the bankers In Constitution hall President Roosevelt himself and made an appeal for "an alliance of all forces Intent upon the business of recovery." He called on the banks to lend more money to finance the New Deal program. "Government should assert its lead ership in encouraging not only confi dence of the people in banks but the confidence of the banks In the people," be said. He said that the administration stood squarely back of continuance of the profit system and that emergency activities would be curtailed as fast as private business could pick up the load. It was noted that the President made do promise to balance the budget or to stabilize the currency; also that he did not comment on the proposal to create a central bank. His talk was heartily applauded, but many of his hearers were far from satisfied. Before Mr. Roosevelt spoke, the bankers were addressed by Jackson Reynolds, president of the First Na tional bank of New York and a stanch sound money advocate. He appealed for co-operation with the President, highly praising his efforts at rehabili tation and saying: "If the government and the banks continue in the role of antagonists it will involve the gravest consequences to our country, perhaps even the de struction of many institutions and principles we have long held dear. '"If, on the other hand, we abandon our antagonism for friendly, under standing, sympathetic co-operation, I believe we can make a great contribu tion toward the perpetuation of our cherished Institutions, the encourage ment of our fellow citizens, and the gradual and sound rebuilding of the shattered economic and financial struc ture of our country." Further overtures to the bankers were made by Jesse H. Jones, chair man of the Reconstruction Finance cor poration, and J. F. T. O'Connor, comp troller of the currency. Both of them gave assurance that the economic con dition of the country Is sound, and Mr. Jones urged the bankers to expand their loans to business. To all this the bankers responded by unanimously adopting resolutions promising to co-operate with the gov ernment but demanding a balanced budget Rudolf S. Hecht of New Orleans was elected president of the association to succeed Mr. Law. WAR clouds over central Europe are "ficSTSSlpfcTeff "b y"TKe"partTaT' "solution of the plot?that resulted In the assassination of King Alexander of Jugoslavia. It is es tablished that the mur der was the work of the Croatian group of terrorists called the O u s t ac h a, and the head of the gang. Dr. Anton Pavelic, has been arrested, togeth er with his assistant, Eugene Kvaternik. The three companions of the assassin, who ur. Anton were captured Id v? France, have con teaaed that they trained for the Job In a camp In Hungary and held Hun garian passports. It Is charged In the French press that thay or their Ous tacha chiefs were In secret contact with Hungarian or Italian officials, and if It can be established that their funds came from such sources, most serious complications may result. The permanent councils of both the little entente and the Balkan entente, which Include Rumania, Jugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Greece and Turkey, have Issued Identical communiques as serting their solidarity with Jugo slavia and laying responsibility for King Alexander's assassination upon terrorists urged on by the foreign pot icies of nations which were not named but which clearly are Indicated to be Hungary and Italy. The communiques gave warning of a probable war unless "International measures are loyally adopted" to stop political assassination and conspiracy. Both the ententes decided to adopt common measures against all political conspirators. So far, Hungary Is bearing the brunt of the blame for the Marseilles assas sination, but Premier Goemboes as serts his country Is "entirely guiltless of any connection with the foul crime." DREARING records all along the ^ route, M-10001, the new streamlined train of the Union Pacific, made an ex traordinary run from Los Angeles to New York In 56 hours 55 minutes.

Harrlman, then chairman of the Union Pacific, traveled from San Francisco to New York In 71 hours 27 minutes. The new tube-shaped train also es tablished a world's speed record of 120 miles an hour as It sped from Buffalo to New'York. The train passed over the 30-mile stretch of stralght-away between Buffalo and Batavla, on which the Empire State Express of the New York Central achieved a speed of 112V4 miles an hour on May 10, 1893.

In his speech of acceptance he said he would conduct his office with vigor and determination and would give it his undivided atten tion. "Our country is filled today with too much talk about Isms," he said. "Ev erywhere we hear about Communism, Socialism, Fascism, Hitlerism, and oth ers too numerous to mention. "There is room in this country for only one ism. That is Americanism. Without equivocation or reservation, I say to you that under my admlnistra tlon this American legion Is a sworn enemy of every other ism. That Is a declaration of war."

When negotiations for a new con tract began two months ago the union asked for a 30-hour week at $1 an hour and a closed shop. The closed shop was the sore point of Issue Neither side would change Its attitude. George Baldanzl, president of the Federation of Silk and Rayon Dyers, then waived the demand for a 30-hour week at $30 a week and said the union would accept a minimum guarantee of $20. This proposal was rejected by the employers. P. W. Chappell, conciliator of the Department of Labor, was on the ground trying to effect a compromise. JOHN B.

Mr. Chap pie arose and said: "Man anH j. B. Chappie """ of Waukesha, the President of the United States has been insulted by a previous speaker on this program in a serious personal way, and while I may differ with Dem ocratic policies, I will not stand for that kind of an attack on the Presi dent's physical Infirmity, and I there fore refuse to speak on this program and will return to Waukesha at some later time.'* CONVERSATIONS preliminary to the 1935 naval conference opened in London, and the Japanese did what was expected of them. Ambassador Matsudalra and Admiral Yamamoto told the British and the Americana in turn that Japan was not satisfied with the existing treaties?everyone knew that?and set forth these main points: L The powers should agree that Japan may have equality, "In princi ple," in defensive armaments. 2. The ratio system should be abol ished, and "defensive" ships limited on a total tonnage basis, instead of by categories. 3. Eacb nation would drastically re duce "offensive" armaments, thus cut ting down the chances of any war of aggression, while building whatever "defensive" ships within the tonnage limit agreed it feels it needs for se curity.

BURGESS ? PETER FINDS HE IS MISTAKEN 1DUTCHER THB SHRIKE wag not T) the only newcomer in the Old Or chard. There was another stranger, and it did not take Peter Rabbit long to discover that be was looked on witn some suspicion by all the other birds The first time Peter saw him he was walking on the ground some distance off. He didn't hop, but walked, and at ( that distance l^ked all black. The ! way he carried himself and his move ments as he walked, made Peter think of Creaker the Grackie. In fact, Peter mistook.;him for Creaker. That was because he didn't really look at him. If he had he would have seen at once that the stranger was smaller than Creaker. Presently the stranger flew up In a tree, and at once Peter saw that his tail was little more than half as long as that of Creaker. At once it came over Peter that this was a stran j ger to him. Of coprse his curiosity | was aroused at once. Anything like | that Is sure to arouse Peter's curiosity. He didn't have any doubt whatever that this was a member of the Black bird family, but which one it coul*d be he hadn't the least idea. "Jenny Wren will know," thought Peter, and scampered off to hunt her up. "Who Is that new member of the 1 Blackbird family who has come to live in the Old Orchard?'* Peter asked as I soon as he found Jenny Wren. Jenny's sharp little eyes snapped I and she twitched her funny little tail a? only she can. "What's that?" she | cried. "Who Is that new member of the Blackbird family who lias come to live in the old Orchard?" repeated Peter. "There Isn't any new member of the P.lnrlfhinl fnmllr llvlntr In thp OM Or. chard," retorted Jenny Wren tartly. "There Is, too," contradicted Peter. "I saw him with my own eyes. I can see him now. He's sitting in that tree over yonder this very minute. He's all black, so of course he must be a member of the Blackbird family." "Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut!" scolded Jenny Wren. "Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut! That fellow isn't a member of the Blackbird family at all, and what's more, he isn't black. Go over there and take a good look at him and then come back and tell me If you still think he is black." Jenny turned her back on Peter and went to hunting worms. There being nothing else to do, Peter hopped over where he could get a good look at the stranger. The sun was shining full on him, and he wasn't black at all. For the most part he was very dark green. At least, that is what Peter thought at first glance. Then, as the stranger moved, he seemed to be a rich purple in places. In short, he changed color. Ills feathers were like those of Creaker the Grackle?Iridescent. ?. T. W. Burses*.?WNU Service. I QUESTION BOX By ED WVNN...
