CORGASWEWORAL FEETS DRECTOR Curtis Is Named to Board as Dawes and Coolidge Are Put on Council. Vice President Curtis was elected to | membership on the board of directors of the Gorgas Memorial Institute in ses- sion here today. ' Former President Coolidge, whose tefm of office as hon- orary president of: the institute auto- matically expired with his office as President of the United States, and whose place has already been filled by President Hoover, was elected to mem- bership on the institute’s advisory coun- cil, as was former Vice President Dawes. Florencio Harmodio Arosemena, Presi- dent of Panama, also was elected to| serve with Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Dawes on the council. The other member elected to the council was Henry L. Doherty of New York City. Surg. Gen. Edward Riggs of the United States Navy and Rear Admiral Edward R. Stitt were elected to the board of di- rectors, Health Program Planned. A program for the participation of all Central and South American countries, with the United States and the Repub- lic of Panama, in an eflort to place all the Americas on a sanitary status com- parable to that of the City of Panama and the Canal Zone, which were trans- | formed by Gen. Gorgas from pest holes of disease to one of the most healthful areas in the world. took definite form at the meeting of the board. Following the offer by the Rapublic of Panama of a site of land and a new | building formerly intended for a school | of medicine, but now dedicated as the | Gorgas Memorial Laboratory, the Presi- dent of Panama officiating and Senor L. F. Clement, secretary of agriculture and public works of Panama, acting as dedication ceremonies in Panama was indorsed formally and approved by the board today. Stating that the dedication of the laboratory was the “starting point” to- ward the realization of a great vision on the part of Gen, Gorgas and those who are now perpetuating his work, Senor Clement said also that the lab- oratory was being opened “to the labors of the men of science to facilitate their investigations, and to make available to the physicians of all races and all countries of the earth who wish to co- operate in this humanitarian cause, the knowledge and council that the labora- tory will be in a position to supply Malaria Is Being Studied. The program already inaugurated at | the laboratory, for the maintenance of | which Congress recently voted an annuity of $50,000, provides first for study with the object of curtailing | and exterminating malaria, Dr. Martin | stated today. He pointed out the im- portance of this research to every great industry doing business around !hei Caribbean Sea as well as its humani- | tarian significance. | Three provinces in Panama have un- | dertaken active work of co-operation with_the laboratory in its investigation | of the best methods for exterminating | the mosquito, carrier of malaria, and of curing those already afflicted with the | disease. As part of a plan for the Americas to co-operate similarly the board at its meeting today voted favor- bly on-a plan for each of the co- | operating Latin American countries to name a consulting board to the Gorgas LOCAL & LONG DISTANCE MOVING AGENTS ALLIED VAN LINES 2 #22:5FURS 1313 YOU STREET, N.W.

" Nervous- tension which steadily de- veloped through 10 weeks of “campli- cated financial negotiations burst out in.the reparations conference at Paris last week and prospects were dark for liquidation by the second Dawes com- Jfim of questions left unsettled by the first Dawes committee. Dr. Schacht made Germany's long- awaited offer to the conference and brought down like & house of cards the whole structure:that the experts had carefully built. He returned to Berlin at the end of the week. The difference between the minimum demand of the allies and the maximum offer of the Germans was so great that few. thought anything could be salvaged from the conference.

The reparations debate in Paris had repercussions in the British Parlia- ment and in the general elections cam- paign, when Philip Snowden, former chancellor of the exchequer in the la- bor movement, attacked the debt set- tlements of France and Italy with Brit- ain as defined in the Balfour note. By it England was to receive no more from those countries than was necessary to pay her own debt to the United States. Mr. Snowden declared in the House of Commons that if the Labor party came to power in May, it might consider itself free to repudiate the Balfour note. The Conservatives took a grave view of Mr. Snowden’s speech on the grounds that repudiation would call it doubt the fidelity of England to her international agreemen At Geneva, the preparatory disarma- ment commission approved two p graphs of its draft treaty dealing with chemical warfare.
