BRISBANE] THIS WEEK Spenders of Yesteryear Gone With Their Billions Paris Hotels Empty England Learns Also Europe learns that political experiments cost money. England de-, ^ cided to^ prevent called war deArthar Brl.bane partment in Washington that Mussolini could not possibly conquer Ethiopia in less than three years, probably not at all. -J 1 When the dust had seuiea aou England, with her chicken-feed assortment of 51 league nations, had apologized to Mussolini and tossed Haile Selassie into the waste-basket, England found her foreign commerce much damaged. She had missed Mussolini, and shot herself in the pocketbook. For a little while she will copy Job: "I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. Once I have spoken . . . yea twice, but I will proceed no further." ( Paris, which is France, decided j to sing and dance a new carmagnole with Russian dressing: clenched fists raised in air a la Russe; red flag waving: the dole- , ful strains of the Communist hymn, rinternationale, and its Communist , injunction, "Arise, ye prisoners of starvation," excellently sung from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Bastille. You can hardly imagine what fire, fury and enthusiasm thousands of young and old French gentlemen put into that hymn, although many of them showed few outward signs of starvation. There were, and are, manifestations everywhere. Now in the chamber of deputies, Monsieur ; Gaston Gerard, practical French statesman, asks, "What has become of our foreign tourists and their spending money?" I M. Gerard tells the deputies J something must be done. In 1927, 2,125,000 foreigners from all over the world visited France, spending much money. Visitors now number only 700,000; as a rule with little money to spend?oysters containing no pearl; many that come to help sing l'lnternationale bring no money. Foreign visitors, says M. Gerard, used to give highly paid employment to half a million French men and women; spent 500,000,000 francs for French railroad and steamship tickets; scattered throughout France from 12 to 15 thousand millions of francs. Fifteen billions, even in francs, ; are "real money" here. M. Ger- ; ard tells the chamber French prices j are too high. There is something | in that, with the four-cent franc costing six to seven cents in the United States?a comic-opera situation, considering the relative wealth of the two nations. M. Gerard thinks there should be ! some cabinet official to look after foreigners, with better propaganda and fewer vexatious taxes on foreigners; there is nothing in that. Foreigners do not. voluntarily travel and spend money where they > feel they are not wanted. The cosmopolitan, educated Frenchman is as polite and hospitable as ever, hnl ask him what sort of receDtion the crowd gives to the foreigner, British especially. It offends the British ear to hear A bas les Anglis!?"Down with the British!" An innocent American, in> an innocent average American automobile, sallied forth on July 14 to help . France celebrate the destruction of the Bastille, and perhaps give a few feeble cheers for Lafayette, or Woodrow Wilson, or somebody. Great crowd in the Champs Elysees, especially around the innocent American car, with new paint, shiny chromium and several cylinders. A polite policeman says monsieur should know better than to appear in a car of "grand luxury" on such a day. Such luxury cars you may see by the thousands and millions on American roads. Nothing happens to the car of grand luxury; it crosses the Avenue of the Champs Elysees, about 300 feet, in less than twenty minutes. The French, newly self-identified as "prisoners of starvation," are interested in the auto American, which is careful not to bump anybody. The bourgeois, the "rich," an extinct species, although it does ncl yet know it, are nervous. In a vague way they feel that they are held responsible for all those "prisoners of starvation," with their strong voices, deep chests, powerful fists and pink complexions. ?> King Features Syndicate.

Western Nei President Denounces War in Chautauqua Speech PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT was at his best as a radio orator when he addressed the summer camp at Chautauqua, N. Y., on foreign relaftions. He expressed his deep concern about tendencies in other parts of the world and spoke bitterly about the violation of both the letter and the spirit of inter national agreements "without regard to the simple principles of honor." President "Our closest Roosevelt neighbors are good neighbors," the President said. "If there are remoter nations that wish j us not good but ill, they know that we are strong; they know that we can and will defend ourself and defend our neighborhood." Mr. Roosevelt said he had seen war on land and sea. "'I have seen blood running from the wounded," he said. "I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line?the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 who went forward forty-eight hours before. I have seen children starving. I have seen the agonies of mothers and wives. I hate war!" *"" TV/TV Pnncpvplf's Ureimuiia icn. mm 1.11. ? speech was aimed at them and resented his criticism. A Mexico City newspaper saw in it evidence that the Monroe doctrine was to be revived. The press of Buenos Aires warmly applauded the address, one journal saying: "Without the intention of making a parallel between discourses recently heard from Rome or from Berlin and which proclaimed violence and expansion as the two sole aims of the modern states, we recommend reading this dignified and sincere Roosevelt speech, ennobled by the spontaneity of human content and with which Roosevelt raised his figure above the stature of all dictators." Wheat Supply Adequate, Says Federal Report THERE is enough wheat in the United States for the usual domestic requirements of the season of 1936-37, according to the midsummer report of the bureau of agricultural economics, but the supply of red spring wheat and durum is short and consequently importation of those varieties will be continued. The amount, however, will not be large, Secretary Wallace stated. "It is probable the spring wheat mills in the 1936-'37 season will use a larger percentage of hard red winter and Pacific northwest wheat than last year," said the report. "A larger than usual quantity of soft red winter wheat is also likely to be used in bread flour. As a result, imports of milling wheat may be less than in 1935." Wheat prices in the United States may be expected to average about as high relative to world price levels as during the 1935-'36 season, when the price of No. 2 hard winter at Kansas City was 15 cents over s * i J Ljiverpuui, uic uuxcau oaiu. i/uimg the last three years short crops together with other influences resulted in wheat prices in the United States being maintained unusually high relative to the world market price. "Farm prices probably have oeen 20 cents to 30 cents higher than might have been expected with more nearly normal yields in the United States," the report continued. "A return of average or greater than average yields in the United States would result in an export surplus and prices would adjust toward an export basis. "The acreage seeded for the 1936 crop, 74,000,000 acres, was the second largest in history, and seedings as large for the 1937 crop would produce fully enough wheat for total domestic utilization even if yields should turn out to be onefourth below average." San Sebastian Shelled, Hostages Are Slain DISPATCHES from the French border said Spanish rebel warships finally had begun the long threatened bombardment of San Sebastian and Irun, and that the loyalists were carrying out the threatened execution of the Hk? . J|] 1,900 Fascist hos- Bcfe tages they were HP' m 1 i holding there. The .f*-' ' J battleship Espana fired a lot of heavy # ' '? j shells toward Fort Bk* Guadalupe but for a time at least was : apparently not try- Virgilio ing to hit that Cabanellas stronghold because many of their sympathizers were held prisoners in the fort. The Guadalupe garrison was hesitant in returning the fire for fear that shells would tall Q&vzynii wapaper Union. on French territory. Already the French government was angered by the dropping of bombs on French border towns, though it was disputed whether they came from loyalist or rebel planes. The Fascists captured the important town of Badajoz, near the Portuguese border, at the point of the bayonet, and were reported to have executed 1,500 government adherents taken there. The rebels also reported a victory near Zaragoza after a bloody battle. General Franco met General Mola and "President" Virgilio Cabanellas at the northern rebel headquarters in Burgos and planned for further advances of their southern and northern columns on Madrid. These will be supplemented by 4,000 Moors and foreign legion veterans marching eastward from Badajoz. United States Will Not Interfere in Spain EFFORTS of European nations, notably France, to persuade the United States to join in a neutrality pact concerning the civil war in Spain are not likely to succeed. Howev- fl^BI er it is the intention W - fw|B of our government f not to interfere in [ J^MB the situation in any l/ty way whatsoever. In- r * structions to this ef- L feet were sent to H - -I all American repre- Hk .JjSipr J sentatives in Spain ^B A by William Phillips, B 1 ifl acting secretary of state. While assert- Wm- Phillips ing that the American neutrality law prohibiting assistance to warring nations does not apply to the Spanish civil war, Mr. Phillips said that the United States intended to conform with its "well established policy of noninterference with internal affairs in other countries, either in time of peace or civil strife." Most of the nations invited to participate in the non-intervention agreement were willing, but Germany temporarily blocked the plan by announcing that its answer would be delayed until Madrid gave a satisfactory reply to German protests regarding the execution of four German nationals in Barcelona. France set August 17 as the deadline for completion of the agreement, and it was expected that, if general neutrality failed, the French government would lend aid to the Leftist government at Madrid. American Ambassador Bowers abandoned his "floating embassy" aboard the coast guard cutter Cayuga and went ashore at St. Jean de Luz, France, by advice of the Department of State in Washington. According to the Army and Navy Journal, Mr. Bowers had tried to assume the role of commander of the American fleet in Spanish waters, and when the officers politely told him they took orders orJy from the Navy and Treasury departments or the President, he protested hotly to Washington, with the result recorded above. Meanwhile the embassy in Madrid has been in charge of Eric C. Wendelin, the young third secretary, who has handled its affairs skilfully and has evacuated most of the Americans from the city. r.r-, ,tr\ rauici vuugimii o vnwu^/ Indorses Lemke FOLLOWING the recommendation of Father Charles E. Coughlin, the National Union for Social Justice, in convention in Cleveland, indorsed the candidacy of Representatives Lemke and O'Brien, heads of the Union party ticket. But, also on the advice of the priest, the Lemke platform was not indorsed. The 25,000 members of the N. U. S. J. present enthusiastically and unanimously elected Father Coughlin president of the organization. Lemke and O'Brien both appeared before the convention, delivered speeches and were given a rousing reception. The final episode of the meeting of the Coughlinites was sensational. The militant priest was delivering a dramatic address before a vast throng in the Cleveland municipal stadium when suddenly he faltered, begged pardon and announced weakly that he could not finish because of illness. He was half carried to a car that hurried him to his hotel. There it was said his indisposition, due to the heat and overwork, was not serious, and next day he returned to Detroit. Railroads Seek Increase in Freight Rates LEADING officials of Class I railroads, meeting in Washington, voted to petition the interstate commerce commission for an advance in freight rates to replace the temporary surcharges which expire at the end of this year, and to meet the rising expenses of the roads. The petition also will ask the commission to give the railroads relief on the long and short haul clauses in the various commodity classifications. No New Taxes Promise for Coming Year FOLLOWING a conference of President Rqosevelt, Chairman Harrison of the senate finance committee, Chairman Doughton of the house ways and means committee and Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, the administration's fiscal program for the coming year was thus outlined: 1. Assurance that no request will be made to the next congress for the levying of additional taxes or increase of present tax rates. 2. Launching of an immediate study by treasury and congressional tax consultants of present revenue laws as a basis for recommendations to the next congress for elimination of inequitable taxes, especially those unfair "to consumers or to trade." 3. Treasury assurance that "with continued recovery" the revenue yield is approaching the point where it will cover government costs and provide a surplus for reduction of the public debt. Commodity Exchange Act Attacked in Court AN EQUITY suit attacking the constitutionality of the commodity exchange act, chiefly on the ground that it seeks to regulate intrastate rather than interstate commerce in violation to the Constitution, was filed in the federal district court in ChicagtX The suit was instituted by William S. Moore, a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and names the exchange, its board of directors, and the following as defendants: Henry A. Wallace, secretary of agriculture; Leslie A. Fitz, supervisor of the commodity exchange administration in Chicago; Daniel C. Roper, secretary of commerce; Homer S. Cummings, United States attorney general; Micha J L. Igoe, United States district attorney of the northern Illinois district, and Ernest J. Kruetgen, Chicago postmaster. In his petition Mr. Moore asked that the commodity exchange act be declared unconstitutional, voia. and unenforceable. Reds Waging War to Win America, Says Hobson Admiral Richmond p. hobson, now head of the Public Welfare association of New York, told the National Conference of Clergymen and Laymen at Asheville that Comintern, the international Communist propaganda agency, is waging "scientific warfare" to gain control of the United States. He said the board of strategy of his association, after exhaustive studies, has collected evidence that a competent Communist general staff has been at work and has succeeded to the extent of casting widespread doubt on the Constitution and bringing discredit on the Supreme court. John A. Lyon, New York attorney and a leading Methodist layman, supported Admiral Hobson by citing the success of pacifism throughout Methodist youth organizations. Migration From Drouth States Is Urged DR. C. W. THORNTHWAITE, former climatologist of the University of Oklahoma, has made a study of the drouth area of the ~ ? ?J u:~ ureal riauis, anu ma uivt?ss?ui6 conclusions are published by the University of Pennsylvania. Briefly, Thornthwaite recommends that 69,000 migrate from the farms of the damaged region. He contends that wind erosion has damaged 65 per cent of the plains region, extending from the Canadian border into the Texas panhandle. A Ions range government program for the return of millions of acres of wheat land to its native sod, he says, might be the only means of checking the devastating dust storms. Observing that long dry spells have been frequent in the history of the plains, Thornthwaite predicts that "the present drouth might be prolonged for 20 or more years." The weather expert estimates that a minimum of 12.610 families should move out of Montana, the state in which he reports the greatest "surplus population." He urges a migration of 12,200 families from Texas and 7,360 from North Dakota. Heavy removals also are suggested for South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and Colorado. Borah and Robinson Are Renominated for Senate TWO veterans of the senate, Wil- j Liam E. Borah of Idaho, Republican, and Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, Democrat and majority leader, won their fights for renomination without much difficulty. Borah defeated Byron Defenbach, who was backed by the Townsendites. His Democratic opponent at the polls in November will be Gov. C. Ben Ross. In the Presidential contest the American Federation of Labor, as . an organization, will maintain its traditional non-partisan policy, according to the firm declaration oi President William Green. The federation, said he, is not in the Nonpartisan Labor league, which is ' oacking President Roosevelt "We will not formally indorse any candidate this fall," Mr. Green continued. "Our non-partisan committee will merely prepare parallel reports on the labor records of the two chief candidates and of the platforms. We will send out all data to our membershjp. They will have to make up their own minds." II Solving Midseaso] I By CHERIE I Wvl mm,:i I itfl Mk WK mm > -> I j?r ' Hfl a mdttm Hffllu ~*HH I ^ Bp-* ;! ; i? WHEN summer clothes begin to & take on a jaded and some- * what worse-for-wear "has been" air, and you are loath to force the season by donning advance fall fashions before the psychological moment arrives, then what? Aye, I that's the problem that has destroyed perfectly good dispositions and peace of mind of the fair sex throughout decades and decades of time. However, we are not going to be tantalized and tormented with such momentous worries this midseason, for good news concerning this question is winging its way fashionward at this very moment Tidings of great cheer, they are told in terms of dresses and suits tailored of the black or dark - toned silk sheers, nets and laces which have come into favor of late as , they never came before. These cool and comfortable dark sheers are a perfect blend from summer to fall. In such you are sure to hold poise and serenity in the as- < surance that you will be smartly and appropriately costumed all . through the prologue which nature and the weather man play to autumn. In fact, no wardrobe may be said to be complete these 1 days without at least one tailored black or dark sheer in its collection. Acquire a two - piece gown of black silk marquisette as shown to the left in the illustration and your between-season dress trials will vanish like dew on a sunny [ morn. In regard to selecting a sheer for dependable wear, per- ' haps a few words of advice will ] not come amiss. When you buy, insist on a weave of guaranteed ! quality. In order to get maximum service and real joy and satisfac- ! tion in the costume you rely upon to carry you through the between- \ season valiantly, the sheer of , which it is made should be nothing less than pure silk and fast dye.

In the redingote made of fine black lace as portrayed to the right, answer to the midseason dress problem is given in no uncertain terms. A lace redingote such as this may be worn over different dresses converting the simplest frock into a costume of style distinction. For formal wear pose it over a black satin slip. IVhat could make a more charming hostess or dinner gown than the redingote of black lace topping a white cotton pique foundation as here illustrated. The soft pique collar and perky bow lend fetching accents to this costume, you'll love a black lace redingote pr jacket dver your summer pastel silk crepe frocks. Try out the idea, ifou will find it well worth while. Separate lace jackets are smart, too, in either black or white. <g) Western Newspaper Union. GLACE KID IS NEW FALL GLOVE STYLE The smartest gloves this fall will >e "smooth." There is a definite evival, to quote Vogue, "of the irm, moulded hand," possibly folowing the moulded silhouette, the noulded bust and moulded hips, vhich will be featured for fall. As he high style leather of the comng season, Paris is consequently iponsoring thin, supple glace kid. t has always been a standby and avorite, but now it is coming up apidly in the fashion world. Since three out of the four gloves dolyneux will show with his colection are glace kid, it goes withmt saying that the smartest women in Paris and this country will adopt the fashion. Fashions, is a whole, are becoming more ind more feminine and the glace llove is but a natural result of hat trend. Thin, smooth leather s the most flattering a woman lan wear. It outlines the shape if her hand and makes her fingers ippear long and slender. Color is again a dominant note, lolored gloves are not going out if style. On the contrary, the fashon will be harnessed to practical, ensible shades of which some will lecome almost staples. * ? - x-rinis ana Big Hats Colorful prints, broad - brimmed iats, and strap pumps with high milt-up heels are favorites among iutdoor diners at Manhattan's ashionable terrace cafes during he noon hour.
