PONDON, March 15 ().—The gravest ty as to the fate of Capt. Walter hiiffe and the Hon. Elsle Mackay was felt in England today, as the hours ticked steadily by without definite news of the monoplane Endeavour. At 2 o’clock $his afternoon, when more than 53 hours had passed since the take-off at Cranwell Tuesday morning, it was figured that the Endeavour's gas- oline supply must have been exhausted for several hours and there was no hope that the plane was still in the air. ‘The vague reports that arrived during the day of planes landing or being ilghted at various points were hopefully 7ed upon by an anxious public, but ck of confirmation of each soon caus- these flecting hopes to fade. ‘The deepest anxiety, naturally, was felt In the London homes most inti- mately assoclated with the flight—that of Lord Incheape, father of Miss Mac- kuy, and that of Capt. Hinchliffe in | Purley.

By the Associated Press, Opposition to the Burton resolution to prohibit the export of munitions to belligerent nations was voiced before the House forelgn affairs committee to- day by Secretary Davis of the War De- partment. The Secretary was put forward by the House military committee, at whose re- quest the resolution was taken up for reconsideration, after once having been formally reported to the House. Three members of the military com- mittee were on hand to look after the | interests of that committee, Wainwright of New York and Reece of ‘Tennessee, Republicans, and McSwain, South Caro- ind, a Democrat. They all declared the resolution was too far-reaching to war- rant hasty action, and the military com- mittee members pointed out that it had been reported without public hearings, ‘To this, Chairman Porter replie saying nobody had asked a I Secretary Davis argued scope of the proposal was so broad that it would endanger the maintenance of an adequate American munitions industry. Before Mr. Davis took the stand, Representative oper, — Republican, Wisconsin, a member of the foreign affairs committee, inquired of Reece as to what had prompted the interest of the military committee in the resolu- tion. Walnwright replied that he per- sonally had called it to the attention of the committee. The Burton resolution specifically defines articles upon which an export ban would be applied in time of w These include all kinds of rifles, pistol: cannon, tanks, poisonous gases. “acids or any other articles or inventions pre- pared for use in warfare.” FORFIGN CHEMISTS TOVISIT AMERICA Sir James Irvine Will Head Group at Northwestern Institute in July. Correspondence of the Associated Pross. EVANSTON, IIl.—A group of foreign sclentists is coming to the United States this Summer to joln hundreds of American chemists in conducting at Northwestern University an institute of chemistry under the auspices of the American Chemical Society. The dates are July 23 to August 18. Sir James Colquhoun Irvine, princi- pal and vice chancellor of the Univer- sity of St. Andrews, Scotland, will head the visitors from overseas. Sir James is internationally known as an investi- gator in the chemistry of sugars. In 1926 he lectured before the Institute of Politics at Willlamstown, Mass., and 13 the only European holder of the Willard Gibbs Medal, awarded annually by the Chicago section of the American Chem- izal Soclety for outstanding achieve- ment in chemical science. Use of Raw Material. ‘Twenty-elght conferences have been arranged for the four-week sessions. One group will deal with the influence of chemistry in the better utilization of raw materials. Other conferences will be devoted to chemotherapy, disposal of municipal wastes, rubber, science and national defense, the chemistry of life processes, synthetic raw materfals, anti- oxidants and cellulose, Plans for a chemical warfare on dis eme will be a dominant topic. ‘The chemists will also discuss ways for pro- viding farm relief by development of new markets for agricultural products, paying special attention to the elimina- tion of wastes, proper vonversion of which, it has been estimated, would mean an annual increase of $3,000,000,- 000 in the value of farm products. See New Uses. Through chemistry, many sclentists foresee the rise of great indust based on raw agricultural materials, now unused. . The committee appointed to direct the nstitute comprises Prof. N. E. Gor- don, University of Maryland: Prof. B. S, Hopkins, University of Illinots; Dr. H. E. Howe, editor of Industrial and Engi- neering * Chemistry, Washington; Dr, C. E. K. Mees, Rochester, N.

S. Intervention. | 6 feet tall, a youngster upon whom was imposed last Summer the | preacher to the President of the United | stat | with President Coolidge y erday at the in debate. % Lium, with his two colleagues from rleton College, launched an attack against the United States policy of in- tervention, in the debate with American University. but the student preacher hedged by saymg: “We are not altacking any particular administration or any particular person. 1t was the principle of intervention which Lium and his assoclates opposed, he said, and no individual. The audi- ence which packed Hurst Hall felt Lium was attempting thus diplomatically to avold an apparent attack even in col- legiate_debate on the President whose quest he had been but a few hours before. The Carleton men in a protracted swing through the East, in_which they met both Harvard and Cornell, had debated both sides of this question, but it fell to the young precher to the President to_attack the American pol- y in the Capital. He branded inter- | vention as “acts of war” and urged that instead “all methods of peaceful settlement should first be exhausted,” and then arms resorted to only upon declaration of war. Lium's colleagues were Heman John- son and Ben C. Duniway. American University debaters were Hugh W Speer, W. Willis Delaplain and Roland Rice Dr. John H. Gray of the Inter. ate Commerce Commission was pre- siding officer and the judges, who voted unanimously for Carleton College, were L. R. Edminster of the Institute of Eco- nomics, J. F. Ebersole, Treasury De- partment, and C. Chester Caywood, at- torney. The college orchestra, under the di- rection of Dr. C. Henry Leineweber, played several selections.” Afterward a reception to the visitors was held in the college parlors, e BALANCE OF TRADE FAVRABLETO .S, February Exports Were $20,000,000 Above Imports, Says Department. By the Associated Preas, ‘ebruary exports from the United s were $373,000,000 and imports ere $353,000,000, leaving a balance of trade favorable to the United States of $20.000,000. ‘The Commerce Department, in an- | nouncing these figures today, said that the corresponding €igures for February last year showed exports of $372.438.000 and imports of $310,877.000 with a fav- orable balance of $61.561,000. | American exports for February this year, while only slightly in excess of those for the month last year, were larger than ever recorded during the same period of any year. The import | total has been exceeded a number of times during recent months, February gold movements strongly in- dicated a renewal of the flow of the metal out of the United States. old exports for the month were $25,776,000, while imports were but $14.686.000, leaving a net loss in the monetary | stocks for the month of $11,090,000. In the same month last year the United St mained in gold $19.895.000, ex- ports being $2.414.000 and imports 309.000. Reports to the department have indicated increasing exports of gold during early weeks of March, but the officlal record is not yet complete, February exports of silver were $7,- 479.000 and imports were $4,638.000 Last year February silver exports were $6,233,000 and imports $3,849,000. iy MERGER 0.
