Although it is the first time | since its organization, in 1920, that the ,chamber has held its biennial meeting 4n the United. States, Yankee feelings mre not expected to be spared. In f: the American section of the interna- | tional body particularly reminded the rest of the chamber that the freest and | fullest possible discussion of all world | business questions is desired. European, | Asiatic and Latin American membe were urged, in case they have any chips, to carry them on their shoulders at | Washington. Advance indications show that the invitation is going to be ac- cepted. Spades apparently are going | %0 be called spades. | Not Aware of Importance. Americans are not generally aware of the importance in world affairs which the International Chamber of Commerce has achieved during the decade of i existence. The second general congress, | in Rome in 1923, directly led to the | settlement of the German reparation Heads New Frat NAMED AS PRESIDENT OF LOCAL GROUP. CECIL HOLST.

Names renowned in international af- Mhirs will figure in the Washington pro- | ceedings. The president of the Inter- mational Chamber is M. Georges Theu- nis, former minister of finance and | prime minister of Belgium. M. Theu- nis presided over the World Economic Conference at Geneva in 1927. He headed the Belgian Debt Punding Com- ission to the United States three or four years ago. From France is coming M. Rene Duchemin, president of the French General Confederation of In- dustry and chairman of the Prench Par- liament’s Trade Committee, a highly in- fluential body. Italy’s chief representa- tive is Signor Alberto Pirelli, head of the famous firm of electric cable and sutomobile tire manufacturers and a member of both the Dawes and Young Plan Commissions. Pirelli came to Washington with the Italian delegation which negotiated the Mellon-Volpi debt- | funding settlement. Great Britain's prin- cipal spokesman will be Sir Arthur Bal- four of Sheffield, steel manufacturer and big gun in British industry. He is a for- mer president of the British government Committee on Industry and Trade and is vice president of the International Chamber. ~_Switzerland, Sweden, Den- mark and Norway are sending as dele- gates men of eminence in finance and industry. Germany, Czechoslovakia, the | Netheriands and Poland, too, will ryepresented by some of their foremost | captains of commerce. The German | denklflnn will be especially large and « notable. Prom remote Australia, Indo-! China, Japan and Turkey are coming men bearing messages indicative of the | whole world's anxiety for a way out of | the all-encircling economic gloom. Hoover Will Speak. “The massed business intelligence of the world” is an apt description of the | nnel of the impending interna- 1 conclave. With the single excep- tion of President Hoover, no govern- | {of women in politi be | imperial couple who left Washington Ending a vacation at Miami, Anton J. Cermak, mayor of Chicago, left Florida last night for home. ‘While here Mr. Cermak was guest at a dinner atiended by city officials. En route up the East Coast, he talked of politics and prohibition and said Illi- nois would present the name of Sena- tor James Hamilton Lewis for President at the next Democratic convention. “I think the Democratic party has a golodd chance if it nominates a wet,” he eaid. He criticized the eighteenth amend- ment and said taxes had quadruped to 5 the costs of prohibition.” Mr. Cermak said he “liked the idea” that they are “just as intelligent as men.” and “they are beginm{ng to see the truth of the situation.” “The smartest women are voting wet,” he said. i DOORMAN GIVEN TOKEN BY IMPERIAL VISITORS Prince and Princess Present Col- ored Veteran at Secretary Stim- son’s Office Cigarette Case. Eddie Savoy, veteran colored door- man of the Secretary of State's office, today was in a happier mood than usual. For yesterday he received from Prince |and Princess Takamatsu of Japan, a | memento of their visit to the Capital. | The presentation was made with all the formality of diplomacy. Ambassador Debuchi of Japan de- livered to Secretary Stimson for Savoy a cigarette case in gold, inlaid on silver in Damascene work, a present from the Tuesday to continue their honeymoon | tour of the United States. The case depicted two ducks, signify- ing in Japanese “eternal matrimonial | happiness.” Savoy has served Secretaries of State | for more than 60 years.

Seek to End Depression. A hundred questions dealing with as fmany different phases of world com- merce are to be dealt but their basic purpose, as expressed by M Theunis, president of the International Chamber, is to “*alp to hasten a gen- era] recovery from the j t depres- sion.” Almost universally ad, espe- clally in Europe, it is contended that the United States holds the key to the situation. Concretely, “abroad” feels that until we let down our tariff bars and consent to a revision (concellation is what's really meant) of war debts, the process of world economic recovery | will be slow, if not impossible, “Abroad’ has another woe to_ventilate at Wash- ington—the sharp "restriction in our foreign credits since slump times set in a year and a half ago. In 1929 American dollars invested abroad reached the total of $1.465,958,000. There was a reduction of several hun- dred millions in 1930. The reduction | in 1931 will be even sharper. The effect of this retarded flow of American capital overseas has been extremely serious. Germany feels it vitally. Ger- man reparation payments have largely been made possible through American borrowings. Will Strike at Tariff. Twenty-six _countries lodged protests | .{llnn the Hawley-Smoot tariff law in | 3930, Twelve countries have either re- talisted or threatened to retaliate t it. Most of these 38 nations ] have spokesmen at the Interna- tional Chamber meeting in Washington, and it is anticipated that they will air their grievances with brutal candor, de- spite the necessity to do so Within the hospitable frontiers of the District of Columbia. ‘The heavy drop in American export trade has been due not only to world depression but also to world re- sentment of Hawley-Smootism.

Clarence Buddington Kelland, novel- ist, and_Frank Crowninshield, editor of Vanity Fair, will speak. The dinner is held in connection with the organiza- tion's annual convention, which will be ‘Thursday and Priday. tions and war debts are interlocking | questions. The United States' attitude is firmly opposed to this theory. Wi hold there is no connection whateve between what Germany owes the Euro- | pean allies and what those European | countries owe the United States Treas- | ury. American spokesmen before the | reparations-debt discussion’ gets very | far may be counted upon to remind | Europe that the “war” debts, as even- tually funded with the United State: represent for the most part post- | obligations. There may also be a re- inder that American tourists every ar are leaving behind in Europe far | more money than the amounts we an- | lly collect from Europe in interest | principal charges. | On two other issues likely to be raised before the International Chamber meet- ing adjourns Yankee policy will be clearly enunciated—the questions of n_ loans abroad and “world | 1t is the Hoover policy—and | is is going to be stressed—that any | American capital sent abroad must be | loaned on the understanding that it is | to be used exclusively for constructive and productive purposes and not “blown in” on armaments. It is another Amer- ican policy that wage cuts shall not be resorted to @s a means of stabilizing economic conditions. The International Chamber will hear that there is no sympathy in the United States with such policies as the one Mussolini at- tempted in Italy, where a drastic slash of the payroll was ordered in a vain effort to cure depression. The United States' spokesmen at Washington in May will defend wage maintenance as indispensable to the American standard of living. In all probability the issue of employment insurance, either private or state, is due for lively debate. LCopyright, 1931.) Regular Delivery Over 100,000 families read The Star ever day.
