Among them were bicycles, kiddie kars, scoot- ers, toy automobiles, hobby horses, me- chanical toys and trains. Then, of course, there were countless dolls, some of them minus arms, legs and even heads. In addition, there were doll beds and tiny carriages.

OUTSTANDING WORLD EVENTS OF PAST WEEK BRIEFLY TOLD By the Assoclated Press.

Prime Minister Macdonald announced amid enthusiasm in the House of Com- mons that King George will officially open the conference on January 21 and deliver the welcoming address to the delegates, The Japanese delegation sailed for England after conferences with Secre- tary Stimson and other American of- ficials in Washington. A spokesman in Tokio said that the Japanese government was fully satisfied with the results of the delegation'’s visit to the United States. The French government prepared a memorandum to the four other powers outlining the policy it expected to fol- low. The French firmly insist t| lht conference must be only a prelimi meeting to prepare for a general dh- armament conference at Geneva. Italy and France Seek Agreement. Italy and France continued their ef- forts to reach some understanding on the Mediterranean problem, but Italy's insistence on parity with France proved a serious obstacle. First Lord of the Admiralty Alex- ander announced that work on Britain's Singapore base would be continued, but that several smaller bases had been abandoned. The week was a busy one in the diplomatic world, four Ambassadors, in- cluding two Americans, taking up new Great Britain and Soviet Russia formally resumed diplomatic relations in London and Moscow. The Prince of Wales received K. Sokolnikov, the first Communist to hold ambassadorial rank in England, and Maxim Litvinoff re- ceived Sir Esmond Ovey, the first Brit- ish Ambassador to Russia since the revolution. Walter E. Edge presented his cre- dentials to President Doumergue as new American Ambassador to France. Irwin Boyle Laughlin took up his post in Spain and was received by Premier Primo de Rivera, Pope Emerges From Seclusion. Pope Pius XI, ending the voluntary seclusion that the Popes have observed in the Vatican since their loss of tem- poral power in 1870, drove without os- tentation through the lh‘efll of Rome and celebrated mass in the Cathedral of St. John Lateran, his church, as Bishop of Rome. He chose the occasion of the Jjubllee of his ordination for the visit and did not notify the Italian au- thorities. His exit took every one by surprise, The British Labor government es- caped defeat on its hotly disputed coal mines bill through the fallure of the full number of oppdsition members to attend the House session.

Dr. Schacht, head of the Reichbank, had opposed Hilferding's program of finan- cfll reform and his plans for a foreign Prr/s{dent Von Hindenburg appointed Paul Moldenhauer, minister of econom- ic .affairs, to be finance minister ad inte: rim. In chaotic China the Nationalist government appeared to be holding firm after violent attacks in southern and central provinces. President Chiang Kai-Shek asserted that rebellion had been suppressed everywhere. European aviators had an active week in the air. The French ace, Coste, who holds the world distance record for straight-line flights, set a new record for distance over a closed circuit. ‘Two British aviators, Jones-Williams and Jenkins, were killed in an at- tempt to break Coste’s long-distance record.

President Hoover yesterday signed the hospitalization bill, which au- thorizes ‘an expenditure of $15,950,000 for the construction of additional fa- cilities at the various veterans' hospi- tals, as well as providing new facilities. ‘This authorization will provide 4,491 additional beds in veterans’ hospitals in this country. In signing the bill the President made the following statement: “I have been very glad to sign the bill authorizing the construction over a term of years of further hospitals for war veterans. “The load seems likely to Increase further still and it is desirable that we should know the extent of it, and the policies which should be pursued. We are also in need of more co- ordination between different Govern- ment agencies engaged in hospitaliza- tion. With a view to an exhaustive ex- amination of the subject, I have asked Gen. Hines to place the whole ques- tion before the medical council of the Veterans’ Bureau for early study and report.” HYDE ASKS FAITH IN FEDERAL BOARD | Farmers Must Co-operate and Re- duce Unnecessary Surplus, Sec- retary Declares.

NEW YORK MERCHANTS DECIDE FAIRS OBSOLETE Turn Down Celebration of 200th Anniversary of George Wash- ington’s Birthday. By the Assoclated Press, NEW YORK, December 24—The Merchants’ Association of New. York City announced Sunday its opposition to a proposal to hold a world fair here in 1932 commemorating the 200th an- niversary of George Washington’s birth- day, on the mund that such celebra- flnm are obsolete. A plan for the fair had been urged for more than a year. Action of the association’s board of directors was unanimous. It was held that world fairs are out of date because of “modern developments such as the motion picture, the radio and the auto- mobile.” The fact that Chicago is to have a world fair in 1933 also was cited as a posing the proposal.

Roe Fought for Direct Primary Laws in Wisconsin and New York, By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 24.—Gilbert E. Roe, former law partner of the late Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wis- consin, died at his home here yesterday of heart trouble. He was 65 years old. Mr. Roe, born at Oregon, Wis, was associated with La Follette from 1890 to 1899, when he moved to New York. He was Eastern regional director of La Follette’s presidential campaign in 1924. Surviving him are his widow and two children. Mr. . Roe fought for legislation he believed would make for progress. ‘Wisconsin, as an independent Ee'pllb“- can, he assisted in pledging his party in that State to a direct primary law. After he came here he worked for direct primaries in New York State. After the New York workmen’s com- pensation law was declared uncenstitu- tional he was the first to draft another act which met the objections. He served without pay as a member of the defense counsel for five Soclalist as- semblymen who were ousted from the State Legislature in 1919. He was long an attorney for the Pr!e Speech League.

Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture, in an article written for the January issue of the Farm Journel and made public Sunday, - expresses the opinion that the new Federal Farm Board is in a itlon to make 1930 an epochal year or American agriculture, provided it recefves sufficlent co-operation from {l“me“ themselves and farm organiza- lons. The article says that the current credit situation is favorable to farming. The crop and live smck production v;oupecm are also asserted to be favor- “The overexpansion of agriculture,” the article says, “is an, important con- tributing cause of nxrlculturul distress. Inferior land should not be brought under the plow. Millions of acres now are being farmed from which there can be no hope of a profit, yet they assist in the creation of a surplus probiem. To diminish this problem one requirement is the increased use of economic infor- mation by individual farmers.
