By RODNEY DUTCHER Washington Correspondent (Copyright, 1934, NEA Service, Inc.) Washington, March 15.—American foreign policy, in Roosevelt's first year, became a tail to the kite of our domestic recovery program. “We can get, in all probability, a fair measure of prosperity return in the United States,” said Roosevelt last May, before the World Economic Conference. “But it will not be per- manent unless we get a return in pros- Perity all over the world.” The administration now seeks that “fair measure of prosperity” at home. Failure of the London conference pushed it along the path of national- ism. ‘ American industry and agriculture are to be protected, as far as possible, from the adverse effects of develop- ments abroad. We are keeping out of foreign entanglements, but—in Roose- velt’s words—“we're still Yankee trad- ers” and we will pick up all the ad- vantageous foreign trade we can get. Along with this economic policy goes a determination to maintain strong naval defense and a settled position against armed aggression of all types. * ok * OLD POLICY FAILS ‘The Roosevelt policy has been called “{ntranationalism” and embodies the idea that a nation first must be strong within itself if it is to help others. Some new kind of foreign policy seemed required even before the re- covery programs were formulated. ‘The post-war system of lending money to foreign countries so they could pay debts and reparations and buy our ex- ports despite our tariff walls had broken down. Attempts at international coopera- tion had shown that nations were unwilling to sacrifice ‘domestic poli- ties at the behest of other nations. A certain amount of fumbling on flebts, tariffs, international monetary stabilization, and armaments marked | the early phase of the New Deal's foreign relations. Roosevelt hoped for more than he could get at London. *x * O* PARLEY BLOWS UP The president sought a rise in the world price level. He knew he had to raise prices at home, and world prices were so low in terms of gold that he souldn’t tie our dollar to them. The primary aim of the London conference was currency stabilization and that really went out the window, gs far as we were concerned, when it proved impossible to sell the price- raising campaign to other nations. The blow-up at London came when, after the American delegation ap- peared to have fallen for the French plan of temporary stabilization, Roo- sevelt abruptly warned the conference that it was headed for a “catastrophe amounting to world traged, It was a hot message; Roosevelt felt he was calling the French bluff. It was either F. D.’s fault or the del- egation’s that his viewpoint hadn't been presented ably and firmly to the conference. At any rate, the conference petered out—with only a silver agreement achieved—and Roosevelt turned to devaluation of the dollar and his do- mestic prices. * * * WINS SOUTHERN FRIENDS Foreign policy since has been aim- ed at developing friendly relations with areas offering opportunities of Strategic trade and political rap- prochements. The two outstanding gestures have been recognition of Soviet Russia and Roosevelt's renunciation of the Mon- roe Doctrine as an excuse for armed intervention in Latin America. Latin-American friendship began to bud anew as Roosevelt handled the}; Cuban situation. He sent Ambassador Sumner Welles to the terrorized island republic with instructions that the tyrant Machado must go. Later, with the fall of the De Ces- Pedes government, he felt compelled to send warships as a precautionary measure, but he also summoned the chief Latin-American diplomats here to ask their cooperation and em- phasize his desire to avoid interven- tion. ** * SUCCESS AT MONTEVIDEO land paid in full. and Hungary paid nothing. collected $8,898,000, compared with $11,369,000 in June. Disarmament, in Roosevelt's first year, got less than nowhere. The president, with the Geneva conference Still in session, sent messages to 54 government heads urging reduction and eventual limitation of offensive arms and an all-nation treaty under which none would send any armed force across a frontier. Later he agreed to consultations in cases of threats to peace and tried to join other nations in embargoes on arms to single aggressor nations. Those practical policies still stand. But Europe is deadlocked on the arms issue and no progress has been made. Meanwhile, instead of dis- arming by example, Roosevelt's ‘navy Policy is to arm to full treaty strength and maintain a navy as powerful as any in the world. ’ x ke NAVY RACE LOOMS Present program would authorize the building of 102 more ships, an increase from 708,000 to 1,186,000 tons, which would cost 400 or 500 millions, besides the 278 millions of PWA funds previously given the navy for con- struction. Another naval arms conference is scheduled for next year, when the Present treaty expires. Its failure would mean an unprecedented naval race, Building plans of the Japanese admirals would exceed Washington and London treaty strength, and Ja- pan is sure to demand full naval equality with America and Britain— which is likely to upset the confer- ence.

All were said to have been implicated in a telephone conversation police over- heard. Held for questioning, too, was the fugitives wife, the former Margaret A. Bird of New York, who was known jon the stage as Gladys Wallace. Al- {though in custody overnight, she gave ‘no information. Mrs, Insull, who has attended the | former utilities czar constantly in the |months he has made illness the basis |of his plea to remain in Athens, was |taken in custody when her husband's disappearance was discovered. Police said she fainted twice while undergoing questioning. Later she was declared an undesirable alien—as |her husband had been some time ago |—and ordered deported from the country. Hours before Insull’s disappearance was made known Thursday, it was rumored a ticket had been purchased for him on the Orient Express. Fled From Paris Insull was in Paris, October 4, 1932, when the Cook county, Ill., grand jury indicted him for grand larceny and embezzlement. He disappeared be- fore the American government asked French authorities to arrest him. Later he turned up in Milan. On October 9, he fled to the Athenian retreat in which he had found a ha- ven from American agents since, winning two court fights in his strug- gle against extradition to the United States. Diplomatic pressure finally led to Greece's “final” order that he leave by midnight, March 15. Although police seemed most strongly inclined to the theory that he masqueraded as a woman in Jeav- ing his fashionably-appointed apart- ment Thursday, there were many other thories, It appeared almost certain that, after his repeated successes in win- ning extensions of his permit to re- main in Greece, Insull would be hust- led aboard a United States-bound ship in short order. Thursday, before Insull’s flight was disclosed by the deeply chagrined alien control department, there was an apparent inclination on the part of authorities to grant Insull another extension. The department an- nounced it had been unable to obtain a visa at any of the legations to which ‘tb applied in days of effort. -It was said deportation under such condi- {tions would be tantamount to extra- dition. ORDER EXTRADITION OF INSULL’S BROTHER Toronto, March 16.—(7)—Martin J. ,.| Insull, former Chicago utilities opera- tor and brother of Samuel Insull, Fri- day was ordered extradited to the United States. The order of extradition was passed by Chief Justice Sir William Mulock ‘on Insull’s appeal from an extradition order previously issued. It was regarded as ending Insull’s fight against a return to Chicago to face @ trial on charges of embezzle- ment and grand larceny. Martin Insull started his legal bat- tle against extradition nearly 17 months ago, shortly after his arrest in Orillia, Ont., where he was found following the collapse of the Insull utilities, Sitting as an extradition commis- stoner, Justice A. C. Kingstone found the charges facing-him in Illinois con-. stituted theft charges in Canada and that he. must go back to Cook county where ‘he stood indicted. Insull was immediately held in cus- tody to await the arrival of suthorities to rettirn him.to the Unit- ed. States. .

The Saints lost to teams at Miles City, Montana, Wahpe- ton, and Jamestown, and to the Bismarck high school squad. The least Lee has counted in any contest is seven points in the Miles City game. In the last game of a western basketball trip, the* Miles City squad, who last year took second place in the Montana state meet, counted a 22-to-19 victory. The maximum points he has tallied in competi- tion was 38. - Art “Stretch” Hulbert counted 151 points during the season to take second honors for the capital city five.
