Fifteen minutes before the election session was called to order Briand ar- tived with Premier Laval and Theodore Tissier, who has been his right-hand man in many political campaigns. The assembly hall itself was jammed ‘when Doumer, as presiding officer, rang the bell which called the meeting to order. The crush was so great that Am- bassador Edge, who arrived with Mrs. Edge, Hagh ¢ American Minister, to Switzerland, and Mrs. Wilson, were turned back at the doors because there was only one diplomatic card among the party. The matter was later and all were admitted, but this was only one of numerous similar incidents. The premier conferred with Briand and other members of his cabinet just before the voting started.

When order was restored Doumer called for the vote amidst applause and In a few minutes he came out dress g of- The balloting began with the letter “L" and Premier Laval was one of the first to drop his vote in the urn. Louis Marin's moderate group in ge Chamber, numbering about 89, had de- cided in conference to vote for Doumer, but 10 of the group announced they would hold out for Briand. The hall is not big enough to hold all the members of both houses and most of the deputies stood tightly packed in the aisles, leaving the seats for their elder colleagues. Briand Well Groomed. ‘Briand was unusually well groomed. He had had one of his rare haircuts—there is a political tradition that he visits the barber only when he is about to become premier again, and that has happened 12 times in the past 31 years. Mingled cheers and hisses greeted Senator Millerand, whom Doumergue succeeded as President at the last elec- tion here. Paul Painleve, unsuccessful presi- dential candidate in 1924, brought & rousing cheer, which was interrupted by the simultaneous entrance of the actress, Yvonne Printemps, - and husband, Sacha Guitry. They stole the applause as they took their seats In the gallery. Predict Briand’s Election. An hour after the meeting began PBriand's friends were predicting that he might very well win on the first bal- lot with about five votes to spare.

In which the following is he describes in detal significance of the customs union. which he will battle when the Le: of Nations meets at Geneva May 1 BY DR. JOHANN SCHOBER, Forelgn. minister and vice chancellor of Austria. VIENNA, May 13 (N.AN.A).—When the German and Ausi¥an governments on March 21 informed other govern- ments and the European public of their customs equalization plan, the first ob- jections raised against it were not of a specific, but of a formal nature. The accusation was made that these two governments had taken. the rest of the world, as it were, by surprise. To this day I have not been able to un- derstand this reproach. Several times I have attempted to weaken the objecticns by describing the nd- and explaining the real significance o= e plan. Despite this fact, however, the: idea has been spread that we have been guilty of some kind of conspiracy and that we should not wonder that cther nations are not favorably disposed toward our lan. 3 Nothing was more foreign to our in- tentions than to. create an effect by surprise. This I have stated over and over and T repeat it once again. Two governments, weary of years of | fruitless talking and discussion, of so many congressed and resolutions, deter- mined upon a course of action which would be bneficial to everybody. Wherein lies the surprise? Mistake Was Overloyalty. Our mistake, if any was made, was of & formal nature and consisted of an overloyal attitude toward others and undue consideration of gl kinds of possible sensibilities. Our original intention was to lay our plan_before the study commission of the Pan-European Union,. which meets in Geneva this month. Then we realized that several features of our posal had already leaked out and E::hnnumu of iis contents had been published in various newspapers. On March 24 the Preparatory Organ- ization Committee of the aforementioned commission Was to meet in Paris and, out of respect for this wmmmlnnl we considered it more_correct to inform the -got officially before this date. 8 e the third snd iast, i1 the birth and Cites Basic Mistrust. “This wish of ours to act correctly was interpreted on many sides as & wish to surprise and as a contravention of the of European co-operation. To ‘can answer that such a ‘wiliful injurious interpretation bears witness to & basic mistrust against _which the'greatest foresight and loyalty umust remain powerless. mutual trustfulness there can be no,international co-operation, no pan-| . The reproaches made against us—and, due to distrust, re- peated . at frequent intervals — have shown us that the pan-Europa idea has not yet ‘become deeply enough rooted and that lack of the mecessary peycho- cal presuppositions stand in the w: :(‘"Ll rPev yment. The fault for this This, they figured, would just about enable Briand to win. Communists and Royalists in the erowd outside came to blows and the | police were obliged to intervene. There were 5,000 soldiers protecting the ap- proaches to the palace, but the police needed no assistance. Briand Is Cheered. 4t from the rigl down his ballot. Out in the lobbies a Havas news dis- patch on the bulletin board quoted Arthur Henderson, the British foreign minister, as saying he hoped Briand would be elected. The dispatch sald he had made the statement at Geneva. Briand's partisans also placed on the board quotations from newspapers in dfl‘\l;‘Uni!ed States praising their can- te. This move incensed Doumer’s parti- sans, who asserted, “We're elect! a President of the French Republic, not of the United States or Great Britain.” Socialists Fail to Agree. ‘The Senate’s 120 Socialists, meeting briefly at noon, failed to agree upon support as & body for Briand. It was understood, however, that most of the Socialists favored the foreign minister. As a matter of fact, the Socialist in- decision was expected to work for Briand, since it robbed the Doumer opposition of what would have been a forceful cry, “Bar the route to. the Reds.” hed As the hour of balloting approac] the struggle appeared to have been stripped of any political significance and to have been narrowed down to the personalities of the two veteran parlia- mentarians, the stern old Spartan father Doumer, who lost four sons in the war, and the silver-tongued Roads Placarded. Some enemies of Briand placarded the automobile road from Paris to Ver- sailles today, charging that votimg for him was equivalent to voting for “Blum, Malvy and the Nuncfature” “Blum is the Socialist leader, Malvy the former minister of interior who was in 1018 for neglect of wartime duties, but since has been rehabilitated and is now chairman of the Chamber Finance Committee. The reference to the Papal Nuncia- ture. in Paris seemed to indicate that the placarding was the work of the Royalist party, or Action Francaise, Yhich the Pope formally condemned in M. Briand, smiling, was driven ta Versailles Palace from the Quai D'Orsay just before noon.

ASKI state of affairs is, however, not ours. In- effect we-have been told: “Your customs plan is an isolated action. You are occupied with the formation which will be against other countries. Your action is, therefore, a blow inst Pan-Europa.” This is only another arbitrary thesis. In reply thereto if is” sufficient to state that already in 'our first official announcement we asked other Euro- states to join us and appealed man for co-operation. Ground for Protest. ‘What would be sald if we should counter plan on the ground that a rather large number of European states were named as original participants, whereas neither Germany nor Austria | was mentioned? Would we not be Jjustified in objecting to it as excluding the states which have a German- population? Such an objection would have been all the more runem because the newspapers which spread the announce- ment of the Briand counter plan ad- mitted explicitly that it was a ques- BY DISTRUST, SAYS SCHOBER VENIXG T |PAN-EUROPA IDEA IS BLOCKED | ‘\ Declares Aims of Austro-Geripan Union Are Purely Economic and Denies Surprg'se Was Intended. tion of a blow at Germany and Austria. ‘We wish, however, to be more just and withhold our criticisms until we shall have obtained more concrete data con- { cerning this counter proposal. As soon as M. Briand is in a position to lay his plan before us it will become lprnnm that we, too, are actually striving for economic results; that we have no hidden political aims, and that we are not working for political pres- tige—assuming, of course, that his plan is just as effective as ours and more comprehensive. ‘We shall have littlé inclination, how- even, to be exploited by others for po- litical purpoees or to permit any pofigy of prestige to run counter to the ne- cessity for economic co-operation in Europe. Aim Purely Economic. Our aims are: purely economic. It is not true, as has been stated for the purpose of discrediting our plan, that we wished to achieve only a stealthy advance on the way to a political union (“Anschluss”) of the two German states. I have no wish whatever to take up the accusation that, with its customs plan, Austria is violating her obliga- tions under the 1922 Geneva protocol. The basic lines of co-operation which the two government have worked out for the tariff negotiations, and which they have published, are the best answer to this. Whoever compares, with an unbiased mind, this foundation with the Geneva protocol cannot pos- sibly discover any contradictions be- tween the one and the other—unless, of course, ne does not believe that we mean .our plan to be taken seriously. In such a case, I would reply simply that “distrust is no argument and still less a proof”! In the whole matter we have an ab- solutely clear conscience, as is shown by the fact that we at once declared our willingness to submit our plan to the League of Nations Council for an examination of its legality as soon as it was questioned. Press Opinion Collected. To our plan, it is finally objected that its realization would injure us econcmically. By way of proving this assertion there have been collected the opinions expressed by various Austrian newspapers which pretend to represent one section or another of Austrian in- dustry. It is common knowledge, however, that even in the case of the most simple and every day negotiations with regard to commercial treaties the in- terested parties, who see danger to themselves in the line which negotia- tions are taking, register protests with their respective governments. In reality the purpose of such negotiations is to arrange a compromise between the advantages which are expected and gimed at and the disadvantages which can arise. In the present case the Austrian government has not yet got into touch with the representatives of private business. Furthermore, the misgivings which come chiefly into consideration with reference to the incomparably higher producing capacity of German industry were taken into account in advance. Through the plans under discussion a temporary interstate cus- toms schedule has been agreed upon in principle with the express purpose | of protecting the weaker Austrian industry. Is it not strange that those circles in Europe which are now concerned about the economic welfare of Austria for years have been pursuing her with zn economic policy which revealed in- ifference toward her welfare, or in- activity—or both at once? For more than a decade Austria has been waiting a turn of the tide for the better. Time and again, her govern- ment has declared that it is wholly de- pendent on an enlargement of Austria’s economic territory and an extension of her markets. Now she, together with Germany and in direct conjunction with Briand's pan-Europa plan, has taken the initia- tive in order to bring help to herself and to all of Central Europe. We are met with objections and protests, but we continue to hope that the pan- European idea in its original purity will line up on our side as our defender and helper.

Wilson when the legality of the purchase was ques- tioned under the La Follette anti- merger act. The District holdings of the North American were listed in one group of the corporation’s interests in Dicker- man's charts. The Potomac Electric ., Power Co. and the Braddock company furnish electric service in Washington and 29 communities in adjoining sec- tions of Maryland and Virginia in an area of 629 square miles, having a total population of 580,000. The electric rail- way and motor bus operations serve the District and adjacent suburbs of Mary- Seeks Full Control. Dickerman declared the North Amer- ican was not “content” to own a fair majority of the stock of the utilitles in which it had an interest, but sought complete or substantial control. He pointed out that in only 8 cut of the 76 subsidiaries in which it had an inter- est was that interest a minority. On the other hand, he showed it had 100 per cent interest in all but 11 of the 76 subsidiaries. 1t also developed that Harrison Wil- liams of New York was the largest in- dividual shareholder in the North Amer- ican Co., owning 27.8 per cent of the stock. The North American is one of the largest utility holding concerns whose activities have come under scrutiny of the Trade Commission since the begin- ning of its power trust investigation authorized by the Senate in 1928. Eight public utility holding corporations and their subsidiaries were previously in- vestigated. The hearing was attended by a notable array of corporation lawyers and officials of the North American Co. Among them were Prederick W. Dootlittle, vice president of the cor- poration, and Mr. Wilson, who, aside from owning the Washington Rapid Transit Co., is a director of the North American. He also sits on the board of directors of the Washington Railway & Electric Co. and the Potomac Elec- tric Power Co. The North American acquired its first interest in Washingtor about six years ago when it purchased the Washington Rapid Trensit Co. from Leon Arnold, who now operates bus lines throughout North Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley. After selling the bus concern to Wilson it then began acquiring stock in both the Washington Rallway & Electric and Capital Traction companies for the purpose of merging these lines. Congress, however, falled to ratify the merger agreement which Mr. Wilson was instrumental in negotiating. Game Again Postponed.

Proposals for changes in policy in ad- mitting new members to the Board of Managers of the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society were advocated before the board at its regular meeting yester- day by Mrs. R.

Brown Miller and Miss Janet Houtz of the Planning Committee on Board Education described their recent visit to the New Haven, Conn., Visiting Nurse Association and to the Brooklyn Visiting Nurse Association, New York. Mrs. Miller outlined a tentative pro- gram for board education, including the induction of new board members into the organization. Tells of Visits. Miss Houtz told of her ins’rectlon of the Brooklyn association bullding, the central administration building of the Henry Street Settlement and the New Haven Center. Of the three, she said, the Brooklyn building was more ad- mirably suited as a nurse association headquarters, since it had been built for the purpcse, while the others were re- modeled houses. The treasurer's report was read by Mrs. Ord Preston, sssistant treasurer. A special committee, composed of Mrs. George Hewitt Myers, Mrs. John Jay O'Connor and Mrs, H. L. Rust, was appointed by Mrs, John W. Davidge, who presided, to study the recom- mendations of the Chest Committee in regard to Chest policles in building programs of member agencies. Nurses Kept Busy.

POLICE CHANGES SCEN IN BUDGET Extension of Radio Cars and Abolishment of Bicycles Asked. (Continued From First Page.) receive $240 per annum extra compen- sation and the other plain clothes men receive no extra compensation. The day of the bicycle in police work apparently is over, as the department | asks for no appropriation for this work in 1933. The $1,600 thus saved is ex- pected to be used in the purchase of three light roadsters for radio scouting | or patrol work. It is planned to buy eight more radio roadsters and put them in service in the precincts where there is now only one radio car—Pre- cincts Nos. 3, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. These elght cars will bring the radio fleet up to 24 cars, operating in all pre- cincts. Kelly Is Commended. On account of the excellent work of Private James Kelly in designing and supervising the construction of the po- lice radio sending station, and super- vising its maintenance since its con- struction, an item of $600 is asked as extra compensation for the “radio su- pervisor,” by which title he will be known if the item is approved. Kelly" work was cfficially commended by the | Department of Commerce after an ex- amination of the new police broadcast- ing unit. For civilian personnel the estimates ask for $165,970 in 1933, as against an appropriation of $120,170 in 1932. It is proposed to use part of this to set up a statistical bureau, headed by Capt. L. I. H. Edwards and staffed with civilian personnel, which will make querterly and annual statistical reports and answer the frequent queries to the department for statistical information. This, the estimates say, will relieve about 18 policemen of 15 days' work on statistical reports each quarter. It is also planned to change the two- position switchboard at police head- quarters to & three-position board, necessitating the employment of three additional telephone operators, on ac- count of the great amount of traffic, which at times unduly retards tele- phone conversations on important po- lice business. Nine policemen-clerks st headquarters will be replaced by civilian employes, in order to allow the policemen to re- tutn to regular police duty, according to another request in the estimates. This will involve an annual expense of $15,000 for salaries. The department asks for an increase in uniform personnel, except for that to accrue from the release of policemen now doing clerical work.

LONDON, May 13.—~The advice of the Prince of Wales at Manchester yos- terday to use American methods to re- gain lost British markets has won wide- spread public applause. It is regarded as a valuable effort toward inducing manufacturers t» adapt themselves to customers’ require ments. Interest in the spsech was ‘ km‘t that at th> last moment ar §ag ments were made to broad: the King listened in. S _The Morning Post said: “The ines- timable service the Prince has rendered ® this country is to have disinterred un- palatable truth from the pigeon nlet where it is neglected.” The Daily Mail, & warm advocata af tariffs, comments on the suggestion that British manufacturers should con- sider the advisability of manufacturing in countries which have tariff walls: “This is the only course open as long a3 we have no protective tariff here and no means of retaliating when du- ties abroad on our goods are raised to extravagant figures.” In his address the Prince declared that, “I am sorry to say that as s nation we are behind in regard to ad- vertising. That is one of our national characteristics. We do great things and we invent great things which are of great value to the world, but we never let the worid know what we have done. Our foreign competitors adver- tise a great deal., and the foremost among them are our friends in North America.” “I have heard a great many English- men say that the American way of boosting goods, the American form of publicity, is very vuigar. That is ene tirely a matter of 8pinion, but the fact remains that our friends in the United States get away with it. If we wish to push our goods better, we must take & leaf out of their book. Feels United States Influence. “Gentlemen, those of you who have been there realize that, and, to those who have not, I will tell you that you have to go to South America in order to realize the extent to which the in- fiuence of the North has penetrated into the industrial and commercial life of &! South. “Let me tell you, briefly, what the daily experiences of the bulln: man in South America. When he wakes up in the morning, he telephones, and his service and implements are of North American make. He gets into his motor car and drives to his office, and ninety-nine times out of a hun- dred that motor car iS of American make. His office and equipment and everbs;r;m': hem uises during the day are up-to-date efficient articles from United States. - “When he has finished his day’s work his mind, if he can afford it, will tend toward relaxation. His radio and gram- ophone come from North America. So do the films he sees in the ‘movies’ the- ater, and, not only do they f« life and culture in the United States, but, to make it even easier for him, the captions are in his own €. And, finally, if he moves around city in which he lives in the dark, he'll find every type of manufactured goods zlrmuvely lavgflh!d and illuminated every available prominent tion in that city.” » i World's Taste Changed. “We forget that a change of taste has come over the world since the war,” he said. “It is a world-wide change. In the past an article sold mainly on se= count of its quality and durability— that was because people afford 1. Today the majority to desire goods that will not last so long. “The firsf ing forward to some improvemen other reason is that they ha the habit of wanting sake of change. In the world is becoming as fickle as wom:- en’s fashions.” SECOND RUM BOAT CAPTURED IN BAY Three Men and Launch With 400 Cases Seized at Bishops Head. By the Associated Press.
