" WORLD FINANCIERS URGE REMOVAL OF BARRIERS TO TRADE Post-War Tariffs and Other Restrictions Seen Hinder- ing Europe’s Recovery. MORGAN AMONG GROUP SIGNING STRONG APPEAL New Border Rules and Extreme Nationalism Scored—Imposing Names on Manifesto. By the Besociated Press NEW YORK, October 19.—A re- markable plea for removal of the tariff { barviers and other restrictions upon Youropean trade was issued here to- day over the signatures of scores of the leading finarciers of Europe and half-dozen Americans headed by J. Morgan. *There can be no recovery in Eu- fope, the manifesto.declares, until the politicians realize that “in time of peace our neighbors are our custom- ers and that their prosperity is a condition of our own well being. The full text of the manifesto fol- fows: Speaks as Business Men. “We desire, as business men. o @raw attention to certain grave and disquieting conditions which, in our| judgment, are retarding the returnj v prosperity. ¥ “It is difficult to view without dis may the extent to which tariff bar-| viers, special licenses and prohibitions since the war have been allowed to interfers with international trade and | to prevent it from flowing in its natu- ral channels. At no period in recent| history has freedom from ~such re-| strictions been more needed to enable | . traders to adapt themselves to new | and difficult conditions. And at no perfod have impediments to trading been more perilously multiplied with- out a true appreciation of the eco-| nomic consequences involved. “The of great political units in heavy blow to international trade.

Chaotic Situation Shown. “The situation is not unlike that which would be created if a confedera- tion of states were to dissolve the ties which bind them, and 8 proceed to penalize and hamper, instead of encouraging, each other’s trade. Few will doubt that under such conditions the prosperity of such a country / would rapidly decline. “To mark and defend these new | frontiers in Europe, licenses, tariffs | and prohibitions were imposed, with results which experience shows al- ready to have been unfortunate for all concerned. One state lost its sup- plies of cheap food, another its sup- plies of cheap manufactures. Indus- tries suffered for want of coal, fac- tories for want of raw materfals. Behind the customs barriers new local industries were started, with no real economic foundation, which could only be kept alive in the face of competition by raising the barrlers higher still. “Railway rates, dictated by politi- ©al considerations, have made transit and freights difficult and costly. Prices have risen, artificial dearness has been created. Production as a whole has been diminished. Credit has contracted and currencies have depreciated. Too many states, in pur- suit of false ideals of national in- terest, have imperiled their own wel- fare and lost sight of the common Interests of the world, by basing their commercial relations on the economic folly which treats all trading as a form of war. Politiclans Are Scored. | “There can be no recovery in Fu- rope till politicians in all territories, old and new, realize that trade is not | war, but a process of exchange, that In time of peace our neighbors are our customers, and that their pros- perity is a condition of our own well-being.

Dependent as we all are upen imports and ex- ports and upon the processes of in- ternational exchange. we cannot view without grave concern a_policy which | means the impoverishment of Europe.” The document was signed in ad- dition to Mr. Morgan by the follow- Ing Americans: Gates W.

Parents’ Consent To Punishment Is Hard on Pupils By the Assoclated Press. UNIONTOWN, Pa., October 19. —Corporal punishment cannot be administered in Uniontown schools until teachers first have received the written consent of parents of unruly pupils, but the students fail to see how the new order, which went into effect this year, is of any benefit to them. Under the new procedure, par- ents are informed that their child has been guilty of some infraction of school regulations and are ask- ed permission to administer the proper punishment. Not only do parents freely ac- cord the permission, the students contend, but administer an addi- tional whipping at home. INPERIAL BRITIH Six Premiers Among 25 Dele- gates When Sessions Begin in London. By the Aseociated Press, LONDON, October 19.—Twenty-five delegates from eight branches of King George’s domains gathered at No. 10 Downing street this morning for the opening of an imperial conference which many predicted would be the most important in the history of the empire. Among the delegates were six pre- miers, the president of the Irish Free State executive council and the Maha- rajadhiraja Bahadur of Burdwan, In- dia, all of them representing some 441,000,000 people, or about one-fourth of the world’s population. The premiers present were: Stanley Baldwin of Great Britain, Mackenzie King of Canada, S. M. Bruce of Aus- tralla, J. G. Coates of New Zealand, J. B. M. Hertzog of the Union of South Africa and W. Newfoundland. Wales Unveils War Tablet. Today’s proceedings were concerned merely with the formalities of the i opening. Prior to the Downing Street meeting all attended an impressive ceremony in Westminster Abbey, at which the Prince of Wales unvelled a tablet to the memory of the milllon men of the empire who lost their lives in the World War. The day’s program was arranged to conclude with a great state dinner in Lancaster House, with Premier Bald- win presiding. The confarence is the first to be held in three years, and many questions are on the agenda, including the usual problems of trade, immigration, de- fense and communications arising out of the growth of the empire. The outstanding question, however, is the treaty-making status of the dominions in foreign affalrs. The Locarno security pact, with Great Britain as one of the signa- torles, brought a new departure in British diplomacy, separating England from her dominions by a treaty for the first time in history. The next problem of importance probably will be discussion of the in- cividual status of the dominfons. In this connection the pronouncements of Gen. Hertzog, the flery South African premier, are keenly awaited. Premier King Not Worried. Premier King said Canada was not worrying about the effect of Amer- ican financial “penetration” of the Dominion. “We like British capital,” sald Mr. King, “but if we can't get it we are prepared to take capital from elsewhere.” The premier made light of any pos- sible political effects as an outgrowth of such penetration. “You cannot change the character of the British (Continued on Page 4, Column 7.) U. S. SEIZES PAPERS IN GANG SLAYINGS Notes Found in Files in Weiss’ Office Are Taken by Fed- eral Agent. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 19.—The Federal Government today stepped to the fore in the tangled affairs incident to the latest gang, killing, with Federal agents holding what was termed a “who’s who" of Chicago’s illicit liquor interests and their national alliances. Seizure of the papers scattered about jthe offices of the clique deprived of leadership when ‘“Hymie” Weiss was slain last week marked the first open move of the Government into the bat- tle for supremacy among bootleggers. The files were taken out of police hands by Pat Roche, special Govern- ment agent, who was prominent in the activity preceding the recent indict- ment of 79 officlals, gangsters and hoodlums in Cicero, a suburb. The seizure was made almost simul- taneously with the arraignment of Sam Pellar and Ben Jacobs for the murders of Weiss and Paddy Murray, who were killed during last week's bat- tle, in which a machine gun was used.

IS STRONG | | J—— Williams Secured More Votes in - Primaries Than Did His Opponent for Seat. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Staft Correspondent of The Star. . KANSAS CITY, Mo., October 19.— “Harmony Harry” Hawes is carrying the burden for the Democrati: party in Missouri in this year's campaign and election. But the result of the race he is making for the Senate will have its bearing on the prospects of Senator James A. Reed for the Demo- cratic presidential nomination in 1928, For this reason. the present cam- paign takes on a double significance. On the one hand there is Democratic control and solidarity in the State; on the other the fate of the incipient boom of Reed for President. ‘Two years ago, or even a year ago, talk of Senator Reed as the possible Democratic standard bearer in 1928 would have been hailed in many quar- ters as an excursion into the Never- Never land. But today it is being dis- cussed with all seriousness here in Missouri, and, indeed, throughout the It may never happen, but there are plenty of people who believe that the Missourl delegation to the next Democratic national convention will go {instructed for the fighting Senator and that he will have the in- dorsement of other State delegation: Come-back a Marvel. The come-back which Senator Reed {has staged in this State among the Democrats is little short of a political marvel. He still has bitter enemies among the politicians and rank and file of his own party, but they have ceased to shout aloud against him—at least for the time being. This is due partly to the healing quality of time and partly to the great prominence; which Senator Reed has attained na- tionally through his service in the Sen- ate as chief inquisitor in the Senate wet and dry hearings, and more particu- larly as chairman of the Senate cam- paign investigating committee. Six years ago when Senator Reed's split with Presidént Woodrow Wilson over the League of Nations was fresh in the minds of the voters he was anathema to thousands of Democrats in his State. When he was sent as a district delegate from Kansas City to the Democratic natfonal con- vention in San Francisco the conven- tlon threw him out. It was virtual expulsion from the party. But a few months later the late President Harding, running on an anti-League platform, swept the coun- try against former Gov. Cox of Ohio, an advocate of the League, by the greatest popular majority ever given a presidential candidate up to that time. It was clear, even in Missouri, which went by 142,000 for Harding, that Reed had espoused the popular side of the League of Nations issue. Two years later Senator Reed him- self came up for re-election. What happened then is a matter of history. The Democratic Senator was re-elected over his Republican opponent, Brew- ster, by a great turnover of Republi- can votes in St. Louis, although he suffered many losses in the Demo- cratic field. Reed Supports Hawes. Today Reed is campaigning almost side by side with his old opponent for Hawes. The leaders among the Dem- ocrats of Missouri have buried the hatchet, temporarily, at least. If Hawes i8s elected, as there seems good prospect, this harmony may continue and result in the support of the De- mocracy of this State for Reed for President two years hence. If Hawes is defeated, on the other hand, there is strong probability that the old division, so far as Senator Reed is concerned, will revert. The chances are, under such condition, that the anti-Reed pro-Wilson Demo- crats will say: *We followed Reed and Hawes, upon whom he imposed his will regarding opposition to the World Court, and see what happened to us.” The Reed forces may at the same time assert that the defeat of Hawes resulted from the failure of anti-Reed forces to give real support to the ticket. In that event, the alleged Democratic harmony is likely to flee. Plea for Party. The great plea which Hawes 18 making to the Democrats in the pres- ent campaign is for harmony for the sake of the party. A victory this year is regarded as essential if Mis- gouri is not to go almost hopelessly into the Republican column of States. This plea is undeniably having its effect on the Democrats, even caus- ing many of them to forget the Reed and anti-Reed squabbles, the wet and ary issue, and their League of N: tions and_anti-League of Nations de- fenses. Republican governors have been elected in Missouri with frritat- ing frequency during recent years. The Democrats have been shoved away from the pie counter and they do not like it. This is the leaven that is working in the present campaign for Democratic victory. The politi- cians and party leaders have thrown aside their quarrels for this end. It remains to be seen whether the rank and file of the Democrats will follow them. E One factor in the recrudescence of Reed strength, and an important fac- tor, is the personal strength of Sen- ator Reed himself. In the midst of fighting factions and leaders, he has stood out as the dominating force. His enemies tried their best to down him four years ago at the polls and failed. It is tree that Republican support saved him. But it showed that he was not to be beaten in Missouri. Position Always Known. Nothing succeeds like success. Some of the Democrats have perhaps decided that if they cannot defeat Senator Reed, they would like to win with him. During his long political career in this State, there has never been a doubt as to where he stood (Continued on Page § Column 3} 2300 U. 5. MARINES WILL GUARD MAILS New Asks Authority to Es- tablish Permanent Armed Branch of Service. Twenty-five hundred marines were being mobilized today at various Ma- rine Corps posts preparatory to being assigned throughout the country to guard the mails from bandit attacks. The marines will be equipped with riot guns for which requisition has been made by Postmaster General New. They will be under orders which will require them to shoot quickly, and any one not having legitimate business in the vicinity of valuable postal shipments should keep away, postal officials are warning. The handling of the marines will be under the direction of an officer of the Marine Corps stationed in Post- master General New’s department. During the period the marines will be used they probably will assist the Post Office Department In organizing its own mail guard force. . Special Force Sought. An armed force of thoroughly trained men, probably to be largely selected from the marksmen who saw active service in France as snipers during’ the World War, is being sought by Postmaster General New as & permanent arm of the postal in- spectows’ office to protect the mails. Postmaster General New announced that he had submitted a request for $1,000,000 for this purpose to Gen. Herbert M. Lord, director of the Bud- get Bureau, today asking that it be transmitted to Congress. Pending ap- proval of this plan and the appro- priation, the Marines will serve. The need for the organization of an armed force within the postal service itself, where it could work in imme- diate co-operation with the postal in- spectors, was brought forcibly to the front by the recent attack of bandits on a mall wagon in Elizabeth, N. J. Postal inspectors expressed a belief that the presence of tried marksmen on the truck might have prevented even an attempt at such an attack, and would have lessened its chances of success. ‘Would Pick Experts. Those who are helping Postmaster General New complete plans for the organization of such a force are es- pecially anxious to have it composed as largely as possible of men who qualified as expert marksmen in the Army and saw active service over- seas. They would be more likely to stay cool under a sudden attack, such as the one in Elizabeth, by virtue of having experienced many such inci- dents in France. The proposed program was laid before President Coolidge by FPost- master General New yesterday. He also conferred with Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, commandant of the Marine Corps, and completed arrangements for the temporary use of marines once more to man postal trucks and stand guard at railroad stations where valuable mail shipments are recelved. ARMS SCALE DISCUSSED. Debates Preparatory Conference Basis for Strength. PARIS, October 19 (#).—The prin- ciple upon which a scale of armaments for the various countries could be drawn up were discussed at a meet- ing of the joint commission of the preparatory disarmament conference, which met in Paris today under the chairmanship of Dr. Veverka, Czecho- slovakian Minister to Switzerland.

CHICAGO, October 19.—Announce- ment of the discovery of the cathode ray, the most powerful known to sci- entists, by Dr. W. D. Coolidge, Ph. D., of the General Electric-Co., at Sche- nectady, N. Y., was made by Dr. A. F. Kyler of Omaha, Nebr. at the meeting of the American College of Physical Therapy. Research laboratories now must at- tempt to find means of cont this new power and making it servient to medical science, Dr. Kyler said. Dr. Kyler; a former president of the Radiological Society of America, explained that the discovery would place the more powerful rays in this rank—Cathode ray first, Millikan ray second and Xyay third.

HEARINGS PLANNED FOR DISTRICT BILLS Commissioners to Hold Pub- lic Sessions to Get Senti- ment on Legislation. Public hearings on legislation of a controversial nature affecting the District, proposed for introduction in Congress, will be held by the Com- missioners this Winter as a means of determining public sentiment, it was announced today by Engineer Commissioner Bell. The new plan will be tried as an experiment and if successful, Col. Bell pointed out, it is likely will be adopted as a permanent policy. Commissioner Bell said he would present to’ the Citizens’ Advisory Council at its meeting tonight a num- ber of bills which the Commissioners intend to have introduced at the forthcoming session of Congress. If a controversy develops over any of them, he explained, the Commisston- ers will hold informal public hearings and invite all interested citizens to present their views. Stenographic reports of these hear- ings will be transmitted to Congress with the draft of the bills. It is possible, Commissioner Bell indicated, that with such a system it will not be necessary for Congressional com- mittees to hold hearings on some of the less important proposed legisla- tion. With such a plan, the Commissioner believes, the enactment of these meas- ures might be expedited. Commission- er Bell predicted that the bill provid- ing for a merger of the traction com- panies will be one of the measures on which a public hearing will be held by the Commissioners. Another is the bill providing for the extension of Fourteenth street through the Walter Reed Hospital reservation. The Commissioners will meet in Joint session with the advisory council | at 8 o'clock tonight in Commissioner Bell's office to consider the proposed! legislative program for the next ses- sion of Congress. The Commissioners will outline the bills which they be- lieve the council should give prece- dence in consideration. LISTS AS BANKRUPT. Charles J.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, October 19.—Sowing by airplane has been inaugurated by the Manitoba de- pertment of agriculture. A number of sacks of wild rice have just been forwarded to the Lake Cormorant Station, on the Hudson Bay Railway, for distribu- tion by airplane over suitable marshes in the Manitoba north- land. During an extensive survey last year Prof. V. W. Jackson of the Manitoba, Agrioultural College found no wild rice north of latl- tude 53, and to this he attributed the fact that ducks are coming south during the rice season. He suggested that some of the land be seeded, and the result was the dispatch of an airplane to sow the seed. DEFNTE HARKET STES NOW SOLGHT Railroad May Develop Model Structure for Commis- | sion Dealers. | BY WILL P. KENNEDY. With the recommendations of the| city planning board announced Sat- urday night in favor of the Eckington area for the wholesale and farmers’| market, all parties at interest in the proposed model market center are now trying to get definite proposals on desirable areas to be used for this purpose. The city planning group had no definite offers before it as regards price and gave its recommendation solely on the advantage of railroad facilities in that area, with the su- perior opportunities for distribution to all parts of the city. As the Eckington area was a Bal- timore and Ohio Railroad proposition, being adjacent to that line's tracks, and as the water front proposition | was essentially a Pennsylvania Rail- road project—each railroad trying to get the shipping business for its lines—the city planners’ decislon seems to have completely removed the water front development as a new market center.
