While the political situation in Chile, according to official information, s con- sidered stable enough in its core to re- solve ftself, despite apparent turbulence and hysterical attempts to organize an efficient government following the flight of Dictator Carlos Ibanez, the economic | candition of that country continues ta worry the American State Department. | Argentina, with the Uriburu regime \| tottering before the rising tide of op- position from radical elements, is pro- voking still greater misgivings in Wash- | ington. .

NEW YORK, July 29.—Crime, it is estimated, is costing America some- where between $5,000,000.000 and $7.000,000,000 & year. Racket is no longer a word; it is an industry. Murder is a business. Thieves are organized on a time-clock basis, and graft has come to be regarded as an unavoidable eoncomitant of modern life in large cities. In Chicago a newspaper man's pocket was picked—his wallet taken. He re- ported the incident to the paper's police Teporter, wise in the ways of crime. The police reporter asked him in what part of the town the theft took place. He then called a firm of lawyers. The following day the wallet, containing the money, was returned to its owner. Lawyers for Pickpockets. The lawyers to whom the reporter telephoned represented the organized pickpockets of Chicago. Every pick- pocket telephones the law offices at regular intervals during the day. In the event a thief fails to call on time the attorneys know the man hes been arrested and« they immediately move to_have him freed. Because the city is so carefully | divided among the pickpockets, the at- torneys knew just which one had taken this particular wallet. When they learned the owner was & newspaper Argentine Radicals Strongest. According to well informed sources, of all the political groups existing in Argentina the Radical party is still the strongest ®nd best organized.

Not trusting his cabinet rn‘\nfl‘s;,kl;fi. ns:gm Irigoyen had mede a rule that no gov- ernwxgx};;z expenditure should be paid by the treasury unless approved by him-| self. As a result of such a measure it} took between two months and two years for a contractor to get his money, and no contractor dared mccept gov- ernment bids unless assured of a price high enough to warrant his risking such a long wait for remuneration. Such a system gave ample Oppor- tunity for graft, end it is said that msny of the immediate entourage of the President received substantial sums in order to expedite the payment of long outstanding bills. Uriburu Scents Graft. Furthermore, the honesty of eome cabinet ministers was _questionable. When Provisional President Uriburu assumed office he made sensational dis- closures, such as thst the minister of foreign affairs had an estate not ex- ceeding 300.000 pesos (about $90.000 at present exchange). but was worth more than 6,000,000 pesos (8$1,800.000) when - left the government, and that in the meternity hospitzl in Buenos Aires there were 40 men who had been re- celving monthly wages &s Wet nurses since 1928.

Angry Chileans Want to Find Chi of Secret Police. By the Associated Press. SANTIAGO, Chile, July 29.—Chile's new government today laid plans for the e'imination of the notorious secret of former President Carlos Ibanez, who has taken refuge in Buenos Alres after fleeing the country. Tbanez had built up an espionage system which, it is charged, ferreted persons who did no more than k mildly against him. Many citizens ar- rested by the secret police were exiled or sent to island prisons. Angry citizens still were searching todsy jfor Ventura Maturana, chief of the secret police, who ,d‘u reported to porta President and the minister to deal with the acute situation.

MACDONALD VISIT ENCOURAGES REICH Friendly British Attitude Re- garded Chief Gain Despite Little Progress. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 20.—The roar of the plane carrying Prime Minister Mac- Donald home had hardly died away over the rooftops of Berlin today when ‘Chancellor Brusning and Foreign Min- ister Curtius, who had bade him fare- well at the airport, were in the midst of another urgent cabinet meeting de- liberating Germany's next move to over- come her economic crisis. The situation is still menacing and there are grave technioal and financial, as well as political, difficulties, but the government faces its problems with a new confidence arising from the visit of the prime minister and his forelgn secretary, Arthur Henderson. Germans Encourged. It was clear from the start that no immediate concrete aid, such as a big d .(rem meeting was an immense encourage- ment not only to the German states- men but to the German public. Mr. MacDonald’s repeated reference to the fundamental soundness of Ger- many's position and his assertion of a | belief that the country is strong enough to pull itself through did much to re- move the discouragement which has been deeply rooted in some sections. Progress also was made in other di- rections, but the achievement which is obvious even to those who had not the slightest idea of what was being dis- cussed is the definite manifestation of Great Britain’s friendship. Banks Immediate Question. The immediate question which oc- cupied the cabinet today was considera- tion of what will happen when the banks are reopened. It is expected that normal banking activities, with the exception of those of the savings banks, will be resumed by Monday, and if there should be heavy withdrawals from commercial ac- counts the banks will need » large ad- ditienal supply of curreney. The cabi- net, the Reichsbank officlals and indus- trial leaders are trying to figure out where they are to get it, and it is possi- ble that some emergency medium of ex- change similar to the clearing house certificates used in the United States in 1907 may be called into play and that Reichsbank notes may be called in. Meanwhile it appeared likely that Chancellor Bruening and Dr. Curtius might leave the capital again next week to visit Premier Mussolini in Rome. He invited them to Italy after the confer- ence at Chequers with Prime Minister MacDonald. Discussed Armament. Foreign Secretary Henderson, who left by train last night, made use of his opportunity in Berlin to discuss the disarmament problem at length with the German ministers. Mr. Henderson, who will preside at the disarmament conference scheduled for next February, is understood to have been informed by Chancellor Bruening that Germany claims equal treatment so far as armament is con- cerned; that Germany does not want ! more armaments, and that she desires an adjustment bearable by all Europesn nations, but based on equal conditions for mll. Prime Minister MacDonald, in a British Army plane, reached Hanover just before noon. While his ship and the two escorting planes refueled, Mr. MacDonald had a light breakfast in the ai restaurant, resuming the flight half an hour later. HENDON.

Every true Englishman will be delighted {if the Cornwallis surrender scene is the biggest and most magnif- jcent spectacle of the celebration at Yorktown or the bicentennial at Wash- ington.” How It Happened. The actual episode of the Cornwallis surrender as portrayed in the “Story of | England” history now in use at the | junior form English schools, shows: 1. The British fignting the French at that | same time, with the French fleet of superior numbers. 2. The British fight- ing the Spanish, with Gibraltar and Minorca under seige. 3. The British fighting the Dutch, with the latter ob- | jecting to the search by the British of | neutral merchantmen on the high seas. 4. The combined Spanish-French fieet operating in the English channel, supe- rior in number to the British fleet and actual landing on the shores of Eng- land being avertzd only by a violent outbreak of smallpox among the enemy. 5. Clive trying to hold down India, with the Prench making more trouble for him. 6. A Whig duke in the House of Lords actually demanding that, under such perilous circumstances. it would be better for the British perhaps to with- drzw their troops from America—and Lord Chatham arising from his sick bed, entering the House of Peers, plac- ing his hand over his heart, thundering against such “cowardly course,” falling unconscious and dying & month later. With regard to the actucl surrender of Cornwallis, the book states: *Lord Cornwallis, who commanded the army in the South, marched into Virginia and took a post at Yorktown, on Chesapeake Bey, where he was watched by the French force. He felt safe, as Rodney had promised to keep the s:a open. " Just at that time a new French admiral, Count De Grasse, recched the West Indies with reinforcements and ‘Washington wrote him to come to the American coast. So he sailed there with his whole fleet and biocked Chesapeake B:‘.
