BRITISH FIRM BUYS * GOODS N ADVANCE Merchandising House Be- lieves Prices Now Have Reached Lowest Levels. BY CARROLL BINDER. By Radlo to The Star. LONDON, England, December 8.— The important merchandising firm of Lewiss, Ltd, with stores in Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow, makes an announcement today which is of international interest. It is ad- vertising in a dozen newspapers that it is placing orders for $1,250,000 worth of merchandise and henceforth is or- dering goods well in advance, instead | of restricting its purchases, as it has done in the last three years. The di- rectors of the firm believe that prices have reached their lowest levels and will begin to rise, until by the end of 1931 they will be approximately what they were at the beginning of the de- pression, after which pre-war stability is anticipated. F. J. Marquis, managing director of the firm, invites other businesses to stake their faith in the future similarly as the best attack upon unemployment and implores buyers to avail themselves of bargains at the present levels. Lewiss is spending another $5,000.000 in new buildings and other firms throughout England are engaging in operations, including Cunard, which is building a gigantic liner while the cost is low. Mr. Marquis, like many British think- ers and business men, believes that the depression was brought to its acute state by French and American “hoard- ing of gold,” which, if solved through diplomatic channels, would soon result in the stabilization of ccmmodity prices throughout the world. Meantime a re- covery of public confidence would pre- vent the continuation of that g, he believes, and, what is more signifi- cant, he translates it into action. Rises in the price of gold are front- e news here and the old scheme of clent to meet the world’s cred ments. It is probable, if not certain, that in a decade the present gold pro- $275,000,000. rd Bradbourne has urg- ed & Temonitization of silver and the fixing of its price at one-fortieth of gold.

Le: ke at the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. €., WEDNESDAY, DECEINBER PROBLEM OF IDLE BEFORE CHURCHES Protestant Council to Co- operate in Federal and Other Moves. ‘Unemployment problems cccupied the major attention today of the Executive Committee of the Federal Council of | Churches of Christ in America as dele- | gates of soms 30 Protestant denomina- | tions considered a sct of resolutions pledging church co-operation with Fed- eral and State authorities in relief pro- grams and perman-nt preventive meas- ures, Action was deterred to later today | until the business committee reports back the resoluticns in proper form, but the unanimity of opinicn expressed at today's executive session showed that the Protestant churchés are one in their desire to co-operate to the fullest extent with Catholic and Jewish bodies in at- tacking the problems of unemployment. Discussion followed an outline cf the national program by Porter Lee, repre- sentative of Col. Arthur Wood, chairman of the President’s Smergency Committee cn Unemployment, and James Myers, industrial secretary of the Social Service Commission of the council. Cenference to Be Held. Announcement was made that a con- ference would be held in Washington, January 26-27, for the purpose of focus- ing the conscience of the Nation on permanent preventives of unemploy- ment. This conference, it was said, is sponsored by the Federal Council of Churches, the National Catholic Wel- fare Conference and the Central Con- ference of American Rabbis. The resolutions which the Executive Committee will adopt later today pro- vide, among other things, for contin- uance of church relief work for the un- employed already undertaken. passage of pending national and State legisla- tion and the setting aside of a spe day for a nationwide church appeal. The need of speeting up the Govern- ment buflding programs and other Fed- eral and State public works as a means of relieving the unemployment situation also will be urged. On only one ques- tion did there appear to be some doubt as to the action that the Executive Com- mittee should take, and that was on the matter of unemployment insurance. Secretary Myer explained that his commission already is co-operating with the Hoover Unemployment Committee and has taken up the matter of co- operation with the social service sec- retaries of 27 denominations. He pre- sented the resolutions on behalf of the Social Service Committee of the council. A plea for the so-called®“white-col- lared” workers was made by Mr. Lee, who urged the council to assume some special responsibility for this class. He explained that he was not asking that a distinction be drawn between indus- trial and “white-collar” workers, but insisted that the needs of the latter class required more assistance than is generally known. Their needs, he sald, don’t easily come to the surface, but were quite as acute as those of any other workers. Liquor Problem Attacked. Attacking the liquor proflem pri- marily frcm the standpoint of the education of the individual, the Execu- tive Committee today adopted resolu- tlons urging local churches “to provide for study of the liquor problem by young people and adults in discussion groups, forums and church assemblies.” It was further recommended “that boards of education of the churches be urged to provide and promote systematic graded instruction concerning the nature and effects of alcohol for all ages in Sundav . schholz. week-day classes and vacation 4 Dr. Benjamin 8. Win.nZier ¢f New York City, educational secretary of the Federal Council, said a discussicn out- line was now heing prepared for use among young people in which it is sug- gested that the study of the liquor problem be conducted upon a non- partisan basis in the hope of controll- ing conduct in the direction of a Chris- tian social crder. Turning its ettenticn yesterday to world problems, the Executive Commit- tee took note of the fact that President Hoover in his message to Cong:ess stated that he proposed to submit the World Court protocols to the Senate and adopted, by a standing vote, a reso- lution calling upon the Senate to act with dispatch in bringing the United States into the Permanent Court of International Justice. Other resolutions approved urged ratification of the Pan American arbi- tration treaty, removal cf the economic causes of war, support of the President's program for the reduetion of arma ments and the ratification of a mult| -I lateral consultative treaty, similar to the four-power pact cf the Pacific, “to make it possible to mobilize public opin- fon of the world in support of peace| whenever a violation of the Kellogg | peace pact might be threatened.’ $3.50 Philadelphia $3.25 Chester $3.00 Wilmington request of the Wome: rganization for National Prohibition Reform, Which | has a conference scheduled here for next Friday. | ‘The suggestion for extending protibi- | tionist support to the referendum idea ! was broached at a recent secret meet. proval came from th organizations which have fought against liquor, while others were dis- SUNDAY, DEC. 7 Lv.

Declaring that the time has come to put a stop to the dumping of Soviet convict-produced products in the United Statas, Senator Tasker L. Oddie of Nevada yesterday introduced a bill pro- viding for a complete embargo against importation of any and all types of merchandise trom Soviet Russia, Most of the merchandise now coming from Soviet regicns, Senator Oddie de- clared, is produced by forced, inden- tured or convict labor, and to permit its importation is to perpetuate the Russian system of “sweating the blood out of the Russian people.” Tariff Held Inadequate. ‘The problem cannot be met by tariff changes, Senator Oddie said, because the Russians can change their prices faster than the authorities in this coun- try can adjust tariff rates. “The Nation,” Senator Oddle said, “Is in the throes of an international acpression and confronted by a most serfous unemployment problem. The dumping of Soviet lumber, pulpwood, woodpulp, matches, glue, coal, mangan- ese, ore, etc. is seriously westricting employment in these industries. Holds Soviet System Crime. “Every American dollar paid for Soviet products dumped here provides employment for the Communists in Russia and to that extent replaces American labor, increasing unemploy- ment in this country.” From American standards, Senator Oddie declared, to permit this system of dumping to continue is “immoral and inhumane as well as uneconomic.” He characterized the Soviet system of forced and convict production as “this crime of Communism, the most serjous international menace with which the world has yet been endangered.” ‘The bill would prohibit not only the importation of Soviet products, but also merchandise which might be produced or manufactured in other couatries from materials mined, produced or manufactured in any Soviet territory.

WARRENTON, Va., December 3.— Hugh MofTett of Warrenton and V. A. Sissler of Washington, D. C., both mem- bers of the Potomac Archers of Wash. ingtcn and the National Archery Asco- ciation, went on a hunt to the Dismal Swamp of Virginia last week and there achieved the feat of killing two full- grown bears by the use of the long bow | and arrow.

Before they had time to follow the wounded bear another appeared on the other side. MofTett took a shot and this bear also rushed off wounded. At dawn with the help of a guide they found the first bear dead, pierced by both arrows, either of which might have been fatal. The second bear was found wounded by Moffett's arrow and was dispatched with another shot. BANDIT KIDNAPS CHAUFFEUR ON PIKE At Paint of Gun Forces Driver to Help in Hold-ups—Es- capes in Baltimore. Kidnaped by a lone bandit near Laurel, Md., yesterday, James Allen of Bethesda, Md, a chauffeur for the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co., was forced at gun point to drive his captor to Baltimore, piloting him through a series of hold-ups en route and a fusillade of shots fired by one of the man's victims. Passing through Annapolis the auto- mobile was pursued by Policeman Virgil T. Linton, who fired several times at the rear of the machine, but finally was outdistanced. Bandit Leaves Captive. Alighting in Baltimore at Calvert and Reed streets, the bandit told Allen: “Now you run along and tell the police what I did.” Allen hurried to the telephone com- pany’s offices and reported what had happened. He then went to police headquarters and told, his story. The chauffeur is in Baltimore today attempting to identify police photo- graphs as likenesses of ‘his captor. Allen said he had just driven through Laurel on his way to Baltimore to get C. A. Robinson, assistant to the presi- dent of the telephone company there, and bring him to Washington, when he was stopped and covered with a gun. The man got into his car and ordered him to drive on. Reaching Savage, he was forced to turn into the Baltimore- Annapolis pike, where the bandit com- menced operations. Store First Hold-Up. ‘The first hold-up was at the store of H. F.

Dull, a service station owner, and escaped with $22. As Allen and the bandit sped away, Du)l fired two charges from a double-barrel shot- gun at the car, breaking the rear glass and puncturing the body with the shot. Meanwhile Besecker had telephoncd Annapolis police to be on watch for the car. Policeman Linton picked it up in the city, but was outdistanced. At both the store and the service station he robb:d, the bandit compelled Allen to come with him as he left the car. Allen told police that in both instances the rcbher asked for cigarettes and looted the cash register when it was opencd to receive his payment. — _ Cacao_grown in the Dominican Re- public this year will weigh 44,000.000 pounds.

BALTIMORE, December 3.—Theodore Roosevelt, governor general of Porto Rico, accused the Government and people of the United States with treat- ing the island residents “like step- children,” and called for treatment “like members of the family,” in an address here yesterday. “Porto Rico has a role to play in the future of an importance out of all proportion to its size and population,” said Gov. Roosevelt, speaking at .a spe- cial session of the Rotary Club. Classed as Pan-American Center. “It should be a great Pan-American center. The young men of Porto Rico should be inducted into our.consular and diplomatic service to serve in Latin | American Republics. “At the moment we are struggling with the most formidable enemies that man can face, poverty, disease and in- adequate educationd “Our people cannot buy sufficient food for themselves, and, of course, they cannot pay the taxes to operate an adequate government service. Fully 60 per cent of the population is out of work either wholly or part of the time. The people are in desperate straits.” Starvation and Disease Revealed. His travels through the island when he first went there, he said, revealed astounding cases of starvation and disease among children. Relating steps taken by the insular government to relieve conditions, he said: “We have organized school lunch rooms, which feed children at not more than 5 cents & meal. Directly as a result of milk stations and the feeding done in them, we have cut the infant mortality rate by 30 per cent. “We have changed the schools. A mistake was made in training children for white-collar jobs that did not exist. Now they are taught reading, writing and arithmetic as fundamentals, and then their course is turned to vocational training.” PONIES SENT WILL ROGERS AIKEN, 8.

They were Peter Kirpo- tenko of the Textile Planning Devart- ment and Peter Tsaitler of the Irriga- tion Department. Both have veen awaiting trial on counter-revolutionary charges. They told about sabotage in their departments and brought in _certain matters to which the eight defendants have not referred in their confessions, Had Forgotten Some Things. Three of the eight, including Leonid Ramsin, came back under the fire of Krilenko, the prosecutor, who wanted to know why they hadn't told about these things before. Ramsin said he had told 5o many things, and left so many things untold because there wasn't time to tell them, that he had probably forgotten these matters. At the Donetz mine conspiracy trial two years age it took Krilenko a full day to complete his summary. It was likely that he would need just as much time at this trial. DENIES BROTHER'S GUILT.
