CURRENT EVENTS PISS IN REVIEW TRADE TREATY WITH RUSSIA 8TIRS SHARP ATTACK ON SECRETARY HULL. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ©. Western Newspaper Union. TWENTY months of apparently futile moves to revitalize the commercial relations between the United States and Russia, and then Secretary Hull suddenly wasmng ton announces that the two nations had concluded a one year trade agree ment under which Soviet Republics agreed to increase their American im ports by 150 per cent In return for purchases o f $30, 000,000 worth of American goods Russia is to be graniea wiae turin concessions uj the United States. Russia will buy railroad equip ment, machinery for making new automobile models and other prod ucts of heavy industry. In addition the Soviets will buy cotton. The railroad equipment is needed badly for modernization of a weak trans portation system. In return Russia expects to sell sausage casings, certain grades of Iron ore, manganese, furs and dairy products in large quantities to the United States. The pact, concluded by the ex change of notes between Ambassa dor Bullitt in Moscow and Maxim Litvinov, commissar for foreign af fairs, provides for no further loans to Russia and. makes no mention of the more than $700,000,000 in debts contracted by former Russian gov ernments. It is in line with Sec retary Hull's policy of trade agree ments. For these two reasons Espe cially it is attacked by many Repub licans and not a few Democrats in congress. Senator Pat McCarren of Nevada was one of the angriest of these gentlemen. He declared Sec retary Hull was a “prize diplomatic dupe” and announced that he would demand an immediate modification of the reciprocal tariff act to re scind powers under which Hull is negotiating such treaties. Key Pittman, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, also is earnestly opposed to Hull's trade program. WHEN one witness before the house ways and means com mittee, opposing the President's new tax program, called congress a “rubber stamp,” Chairman Dough ton and other Democrats declared they had been Insulted and would hear no more from the witness. Nearly every one else they heard was as insistent in denouncing the proposed tax bill but more tactful. Most of them represented various sections of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States. Then the committee apparently decided that it really would be a rubber stamp, for it quit work on the tax measure for the time being and, ac cording to report, left the writing of it to certain brain trusters of the Treasury department. The pub lic hearings had been noisy, full of bickerings and probably of no use whatever. Administration leaders then be gan planning for postponement of the proposed tax legislation until the winter session. It was said President Roosevelt had consented to this course provided a bill can be agreed upon before adjournment that shall be acceptable to all the groups whose objective is redis tribution of wealth by taxation. The prospect of an early adjourn ment was so pleasing to the house that one member, Deen of Georgia, was given a veritable ovation when he made a speech telling how tired the legislators were. I - FIFTY thousand dollars was ap propriated by the house for in vestigation by the rules commit tee of lobbying for and against Dins anecting util ities interests. Rep resentative Rankin of Mississippi de clared that Repre sentative O’Connor of New York, chairman of the committee, was un fit to conduct the inquiry because he was antagonistic to the administration, i O’Connor, rising to T. G. Corcoran reply, wag given an ovation by the house, and promised the Investi gation would be thorough and im partial Already, the committee has be gun Its work, the first witness be ing Representative Brewster of Maine, who declared Thomas O. Corcoran, New Deal lawyer, had tried to force him to vote for the “death sentence” provision in the utilities bill by threats of stop ping work on the Passamaquoddy ' project. Corcoran was then put on the stand and denied the main fea tures of Brewster’s story, where upon the Maine congressman shout ed, "You’re a liar.” Corcoran ex plained with facility his activities Jo behalf of the utilities measures He said he was assigned to help with the original drafting of the bill “through a direct request from the President.” Senators Wheeler and Rayburn, he said, asked him to help bring about passage of the MIL UNOFFICIALLY and informally, the general opinion seems to be that the Wagner labor disputes act is unconstitutional and will be so declared by the United States Supreme court when that tribunal is called on for a decision. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, urges labor leaders to pay no attention to claims that the law is invalid. “Leading legal authorities of the nation are of the opinion that the act Is constitutional in every re spect,” he wrote, but added In a letter that he expects a court test and that the American Federation of Labor will get “the best legal talent.” Green in a pamphlet sent to mem ber unions of the federation advises them "to be absolutely sure of their ground” before prosecuting employ ers under the Wagner act. Even If the Wagner law is knocked out by the Supreme court, the administration believes it has a plan that will avert at least 90 per cent of the usual number of strikes, walk-outs, lock-outs and other disorders. It is being launched In Toledo, Ohio, and has been called the “Toledo plan” because It was conceived by Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward F. McGrady when he was trying to settle a dispute In that Ohio city. It has no sectional characteris tics; carries no federal compulsion, and rests solely upon the willing ness of workers and employers In every city that adopts the plan, to abandon the harsh economic weap ons of old and substitute peaceful discussion for violence. Mr. McGrady explained it thus: A panel of business and labor leaders of equal number is chosen with a federal official to act as chairman. This official presumably would be one who has made a rec ord in the regional labor service setup under the national labor rela tions board. The employer would continue to bargain with his workers as usual. In event of a disagreement between them the workers agree not to strike and the employer agrees not to lock out or discriminate against the men as the issue is carried to the newly created panel. This group debates the probfem and If it is unable to agree the heads of the business and labor rep resentatives on the panel and the federal chairman continue seeking an avenue of settlement. If they are unable to agree then an appeal Is made direct to the owner of the business involved and the head of the union controlling the workers. Only after all lanes of compro mise have been closed, can a strike be called. SENATOR HUEY LONG has the political fate of his chief op ponent, Mayor T. Semmes Walms ley of New Orleans, In the palm of T. Semmes Walmsley us hand. But ne s forcing the peo )le of the city to >ut the mayor out V majority of Valmsley’s follow ers, tired of the eonflict, formally leserted him when he commission ■ouncil adopted a ■esolution endors ng recent state nents of two com nissioners calling for the city to make peace witn Long. The mayor, standing almost alone, declined to yield. He told the council he “would not deal with men who have been called ‘crooks and thieves’ by every member of the commission council.” In a caucus preceding the coun cil session, 13 of Walmsley’s 17 ward leaders voted for his resigna tion “for the good of the city.” The mayor told them he was “going to stick from h—1 to breakfast.” Sen ator Long received a committee of the seceders and said he would call a session of the state legislature to force Walmsley out of office with in 23 hours after the “old regulars” obtained approval of a majority of the city's voters for a petition re questing the mayor’s removal. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT led various of his cabinet members, leaders of the majority In congress and captains of the New Deal, on a week-end outing that was at once dbbbed “the kiss and make up ex cursion.” For a lot of these men had been snarling at one another In the physical and political heat of recent days In Washington and the Chief Executive evidently thought it time the quarreling was ended. The entire bunch went to Jefferson Island in Chesapeake bay, Ur. Roosevelt on his yacht Seqqola and the others on a fleet of boats. Cabinet members included were Vice President Garner, Postmaster General Farley, Attorney General Cummings, Secretary of the Interior Ickes, Secretary of War Dern, and Secretary of Commerce Roper. Speaker Byrns headed a congres sional delegation Including Senators Tydings, Pittman, Robinson, Cope land, Dieterich, Walsh, Gerry, Duf- | fy, and Raddlffe. Relief Director Hopkins, No. 1 Brain Truster Tugwell, and Treas ury General Counsel Ollphant also were In the party. ' Newspapers of northern Italy Intimated that Premier Mus sollnl might abandon his projected war with Ethiopia if he could find a way of backing out without los ing face. But the Roman public was quite sure the duce’s aggres sive policy would be unimpaired. This opinion was strengthened by the sending of more troops to East Africa. Secretary of State Hull entered the picture again with a rather mild statement expressing Ameri ca’s abhorrence of war and confi dence In the Kellogg pact. The Ital ians didn’t like this at ail. Eleven states of the Far West are to be represented In the next and third “grass roots” confer ence of Republicans. It will be held in the Vejlowstone national park August 23-24, according to Mike Reynolds, state director of the Young Republican League of Mon tana. He said George Olmstead, Des Moines chairman of the young Republican committee, and Col. Theodore Roosevelt were planning to attend, and that among those Invited to speak were Senator Wil liam E. Borah of Idaho, Represent-, ative Hamilton Fish of New York and Gov. Harold* G. Hoffman of New Jersey. ONE of the hottest scraps of the year developed between Sec retary of the Interior Ickes and Senator Tvdings of Maryland over the inquiry Into the administration of Gov. Paul M. Pear son In the Virgin islands. The secre tary accused the senator of “white washing” a witness before the Tydings committee; and the senator retorted by advising the secre t a r y to “confine yourself to the Sec’y I ekes Vi li livO HU » I11V.11 JUU I1U1 C 1/CCU pointed.” Both of them were thor oughly angry and Tydings in a let ter accused Iekes of seeking “cheap publicity.” Federal Judge T. Webber Wilson of the Virgin Islands had given tes timony that exasperated Iekes and the secretary demanded that the judge be removed from office for “official misconduct.” Then Iekes wrote Tydings a letter carrying his charge of “whitewashing” and say- j ing of the judge's testimony: j “There was no cross-examination i to test his truthfulness, and if any statement ever needed such a test, It was his.” Judge Wilson had told the com mittee that there had been “admin istrative Interference” with his court and that Morris Ernst, coun sel for the Civil Liberties Union, while a guest of Governor Pearson, had threatened to put him “on the spot” in the press unless he grant ed a rehearing to a government em ployee accused of theft. Tydings accused Secretary Iekes of “gross deceit upon the American I people” by stating in an Interior de partment press release that Paul C. Tates, administrative assistant of Pearson, had been discharged, when “you know and I know that Mr. Yates had resigned five days before : your press release was issued.” PERHAPS it was the summer heat in Washington; perhaps there was a lot of pressure from the direction of the White House. Anyhow, the backbones of the house Democrats, recently so stiff against “dictation” by the adminis tration, weakened most noticeably when the house took up the re drafting of the Tennessee Valley authority act. Nearly all the re cent "rebels” among the Demo crats fell Into line and the bill was shorn of every major provision that was objectionable to the Pres ident. This victory greatly heartened the administration forces, and they [♦essed forward to try for another In the conference on the utilities bill. Also In the senate they carried on a determined fight for the amendments broadening the powers of the AAA. Senators Borah and Byrd were the chief opponents of the New Dealers in this latter battle. MOST notable of recent deaths was that of Lieut. Col. Alfred Dreyfus of France, central figure of the famous “Dreyfus case” of some 35 years ago which kept France In a turmoil for four years. Dreyfus, a Jew, was tbA a captain and was tried and convicted of sell ing military secrets to Germany. He was a prisoner on Devil's island for four years and then was par doned because It had been estab lished that he was the Innocent vic tim of plotters and traitors. Drey fus served his country again in the World war. He was seventy-five years old when he died. OLD JACOB S. COXEY, of Mas sillon, Ohio, Is again on his way toward the White House, having been nominated for President by acclamation by a national Farmer Labor convention in Omaha. To be sure there were only a few dele gates, and some of them bolted; and the convention, which was to have lasted five days, had only one session. But It was a regular affair. Leslie Erickson of Minneapolis was chosen to be “General” Coxey’s running mate. The platform in cluded a lot of things among them being planks for sharing the wealth, inflation and technocracy. } White Sheers for Summer Chic By CHERIE NICHOLAS THE forthstanding nbte In sum mer fashions is the increased Interest in femininity. Wherefore the glory of diaphanous materials of rapturous loveliness once more, as in the picturesque days of old, hold sway in the realm of pretty summery apparel. Everywhere dot ted swlsses, embroidered or plain organdies and nets, chiffons and dainty sheers of multi-type flatter the summer landscape. The call for white is insistent in these weaves of elusive ethereal beauty with new and delectable colors put ting forth rival claims. First and foremost among the new sheers is a mousseline de sole. The important message about these voguish mousselines is that mod ern science has succeeded in pro ducing a washable type—comes from a tubbing as fresh and lovely as ever was. Every woman who heretofore lamented the fact of the un-washability of the exquisite mousselines which are so dear to her heart will rejoice at the good tidings that there is a new mousse line de sole which actually can be laundered. And here’s some more good news —a mousseline de sole which is shadow-patterned in self-color. You’ll love it! Makes up adorably over a taffeta foundation. Comes in white or pastels, with first honors going, however, to white, since white keynotes to summer chic. For that “one more” party frock to add to your summer collection, why not choose plain or shadow-patterned mousseline de soie? The lovely, white, frothy, filmy, vaporous frocks In the picture are typical of smartest midsummer trends. At the top to the left a cape and a ruche of crisp white net, which Is really more ef a tulle than a net, with two wax-white cameltas, lend enchantment to a gown of the same tulle posed over white moire. The young girl seated below is wearing a daring ingenue gown. Chanel uses yards and yards of ruffles edged with fine val lace on the cape and skirt of white mous sellne de sole. The pretty creature sitting op posite Is gowned In finest of cot ton net. The bodice top is modish ly shirred. The bolero of match ing net ties with a big casual bow at the throat The voluminous skirt is the very picture of grace, walk ing, dancing or sitting down. There Is a belt trimmed with gold kid leaves with garland to match In her hair. Speaking of embroidered net, for a party frock which goes formal, who could think of anything more entrancing than the ensemble worn by the charming girl to the right In the group! Dots embroidered In delicate bonbon colors, pink, blue and yellow, look confettl-like orr their sheer white background. Pink satin ribbons tie the throat and the waist In the graceful matching wrap with full cape sleeves, Maln bocher revives the “fascinator fashion’’ which Is making a big hit with debutantes this season. The dainty tulle hood frames the face with an aureole of crisp little ruf fles. It can be thrown back off the head with perfect ease. © Western Newspaper Union.

FROG FASTENINGS USED EXTENSIVELY Frogs have hopped Into the mid dle of the fashion swim this season. Frog fastenings are used on every thing from evening gowns to sum mer suits, and lend an opportunity for original color contrasts and a new casual air for more or less formal costumes. Time was when the field of the frog fastening was limited to pa jamas, but that time is no more. You’ll be seeing them on the new est shirtwaist frocks this season, on suits of wool and linen, on blouses and summer coats, on beach frocks and evening gowns. Evening gowns often employ one huge frog fastening at the neckline, and lightweight woolen coats for summer are shown with frogs all the way down the front. London Fashions of 1910 Influencing U. S.

Of Hfeh Import Is World Within Invisible Power Functions Through Radiations of Thought. Every person lives In two worlds at once. One Is the physical world surrounding him or her and of which th% body is one functioning element or combination of elements. The things which can be seen, heard, felt, smelled yid touched make up the realisable world to Individuals. It is such a gloriously wonderful world, this physical one, that it would seem sufficient Just to be In It, and of It, and able to be a part of It, however small. But with an overflowing Goodness, each person is given another world to Inhabit. This other world is within, and IS sacred to each Individual. No one else rules or governs there. It is a little world, a microcosm, ruled by the scepter of the Individual him self. It is variously called, as the world of the Aflnd, the worliT of the Spirit, the Real Person, the World Within, etc. It is invisible. The Individual cannot see it, nor an out sider. Whether this will always be so, no one can predict, since many things once Invisible have been re vealed by delicate instruments. But there are forces which are known to exist, such as electricity, which in the,.years of its having been rec ognized has yet to be seen. So It is with the World Within each individ ual, call It what you will. Because this world is not visible does not mean that its power is not felt We know from electricity that a force does not have to be seen to be felt, nor put to use. And so each person has a power which is not visible in Itself, but functions through the radiations of the thoughts as felt by others, and through the actions prompted by the workings of this World Within. The power of this world Is so strong that no one has been able to gauge It. The study of It Is one of the fascinating pursuits of scientists and doctors, who are probing continually and endeavoring to turn the Invisible into the visible, and to find reasons and causes for the results. But it is a research which fluctuates with the times and with the reactions of the mind of the one doing the probing, the research, and the experiments. And all the time and within each Individual there exists this second world. Parents watch the signs of Its working by the expressions and actions of their children. They seek to influence the currents favorably for the greatest good, Just as scien tists and Inventors seek to direct electricity Into many channels. In school days trained advisors to stu dents attempt to aid them further. Sometimes the Individuals are helped, sometimes hindered, although the suggestions are made with high purposes. All through life each person is ex erting an Influence for good or bad, for trouble or happiness, for health or sickness, by the workings of their own World Within ns subtly felt or actively expressed. The Influence of parents on children, and vice versa, Is greatest through the life they actually live, not the words they speak. © Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.
