MELLON CONFERS WITH MAGDONALD, CALLS ON NORMAN Purely Social Nature of Sec- ¢ retary’s Visit Doubted After Long Talks. BRITISH PRESS OPENS “INFORMATIVE” CAMPAIGN Economic and Political Situation of Europe Discussed at Length for U. S. Benefit. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 18.—Andrew W. Mel- lon, Secretary of the United States ‘Treasury, today had a long talk with Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, and afterward the two were together at luncheon. There is a feeling here that the Sec- retary in this informal visit is gather- ing first-hand knowledge of European financial affairs and probably is going into the issue of reparations and war debts. H: has consistently declined, how- ever, to discuss his meeting with im- portant men of England and has in- sisted that he is here only for plcasure. After luncheon with ®™r. Norman, Secretary Mellon went over to the House of Commons for another conference with Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon- ald and Arthur Henderson, the foreign | secretary. He spent an hour with them ! in Mr. MacDonald’s office yesterday, | later describing the visit as “purely a social call.” Prime Minister MacDonald has ac- cepted an invitation by Chancellor Bruening of Germany to visit Berlin with Foreign Secretary Arthur Hender- son on July 17. “SOCIAL CALL” DOUBTED.

BARING LETTER Correspondence With Former First Lady Made Public After Hoover's Remarks at Marion. By the Associated Press. EL PASO, Tex, June 18.—After reading President Hoover's address at Marion, Ohio, and newspaper comments upon it, Mrs. A. B. Fall today made public certain correspondence exchanged between her and Mrs. Warren G. Hard- ing. In his address, Mr. Hoover sald President Harding “had a dim realiza- tion that he had been betrayed by a few of the men whom he trusted * * *.” In'a letter written to Mrs. Fall by Mrs. Harding on February 15, 1924, after Harding's death, in the late Sum- mer of 1923, Mrs. Harding said: “I am just getting to my Christmas acknowledgments, for these weeks since 1 reached Washington have bzen so full jof interruptions that I have had to neglect my correspondence.

In the absence of any information about what was discussed when the American Secretary of the Treasury was with Premier MacDonald at the House of Commons for an hour on Wed- | nesday, the general conclusion today is that the major econorhic’ problenis of Europe were touched upon. But if Brit- ish statesmen fail to go very deeply into such subjects with Secretary Mel- lon, he will find a large section of the British press determined to inform him fully how much the straightening out | of Europe is dependent upon action by | the United States. AustMan Loan Discussed. Commenting today on the tempo- rary stabilizing effect which the bank of England’s $20,000,000 loan to Austria will have on that country’s finances, the London Times declares that events in the last few months have proved beyond a doubt that some | drastic reorganization of economic con- ditions in Central and Eastern Europe 15 urgently needed. Mr. Mellon needs only to turn to the Manchester Guardian to find something in the nature of a ready-made plan/ which, if adopted by America, would in this Nberal paper's opinion give the Hoover government credit for playing &_noble part in the world's affairs. It envisages the suspension of war debt payments over a given period in re- tyrn for a drastic reduction in arma- ments,” which should be guaranteed at the disarmament conference in Geneva fext February. Also, the relief pro- vided by the Young plan in the form of a moratorium might be increased by the’ actual cancellation of a certain amount of the reparations payments. German Dictatorship Feared. The Guardian adds: “The startling fhet about the situation in Europe, a5 Messrs. Mellon and Stimson will see it, cannot fail to be tie interdependence .between economics and politics—be- tween the immediate crisis and the Versailles treaty.”. Mr. Mellon is; warned that the alternative to the Bruening government in Germany is a dictatorship, “which might result not merely ig repudiation of roparations, which might involve losses to the United States in war debts, but in a catostrophe that would bury American loans and inyestments beyond reach for an in- definite period.” The London News Chronicle tells Secretary Mellon that only the United States can relieve the extraordinarily “difficult financial situation, this paper’s plan being the sacrifice by America of some of the war debt payments.

A number of newspapers, including Heraldo, sald Gen. Martinez Anido, military governor of Barcelona under the monarchy, was on his way to the Province of Navarre to organize an army which would march on Madrid | and place Don Jaime, son of the late Pretender, on the throne.

June 18.—Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., was “sorry” today that he had “nothing to say” concern- ing the latest episode in his stormy career—a reported rift with his wife over alleged 'attentions paid her by Peter Arno, noted cartoonist, here for a divorce. Neither would Mrs. Vanderbilt nor Arno comment on reports Vanderbilt bad gone gunning for Arno, but had changed his mind before reaching the Arno residence and returned to his own home. Chief of Police J. M. Kirkley sald last night Arno had come to him Tues- |day asking for protection from Va=- | derbilt, who, he said, had threatened |to do him “bodily harm.” Kirkley said he had told Arno he | was “big enough to take care of him- self” and that if any one was bother- ing him, “¢o go and punch him on the | jaw." Shooting Threat Denied. Arno made no mention, Kirkley said, of any attempt by Vanderbilt to shoot | him. This also was confirmed by Clyde D. Souter, Arno's attorney, who said that “if any such statement has been made bx any one, it is absolutely un- true and not founded in fact. No such occurrence took place at any time or lace.” & The only mention of difficulties in| the Vanderbilt household was by Van- derbilt's own attorney, Samuel Platt, who fssued a statement in which he said “Vanderbilt for some time has been incensed over attentions that Arno has been paying Mrs. Vanderbilt." “It hes been going on for some time and he could not help but notice evi- | dences of affection on the part of Arno, Platt continued. “Sunday night, or early Monday morning, a car drove up in front of the Vanderbilt home. Mrs. Vanderbilt ailghted and started for the house and Arno elight>d and walked toward his home, which is in the same vicinity. Found Gun Unloaded. “Vanderbilt saw it and he became so incensed that he got his gun and started for the Arno home. About half- way over he came to his senses and re- turned home.
