SHIBE PARK, Philadelphia, Pa., Oc- | tober 5.—Forty thousand base ball fans | this afternoon checred President Hoo- | ver as he threw out the first ball to start the third game of the world series between the Philadelphia Athletics and ths St. Louls Cardinals. Mr. Hoover, accompanied by Mrs Hoover and a small party of associates, arrived at the park shortly before, the, start of the game. He was cheered | lustily by fandom as ne took his seat | in a flag-bedecked box and the smile on his face indicated both his apprecia- tion of this wild greeting and his pleas- ant anticipation of the game ahead. Mayor Mackey of Philadelphia was at the North Philadelphia Station to| receive the President and accom- panied him on the short motor ride to the ball park. With the Philadel-| phia mayor were his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Jay Cooke of Philadelphia, old friends of the President and Mrs. Hoover.

There were the usual number of newspaper correspondents and news photog- | raphers. The entrance to the park used by the presidential party necessitated a long walk across the field to the private box of President Shibe of the Phila- delphia base ball club. Although the President was seated in a section containing the most rabid of the Athletics' rooters, he was on hand as a neutral observer. Neverthe- less the Philadelphia supporters claim him, because of the five games the President has witnessed in which the Athletics wer2 playing, two of them be- ing world series games in Philadelphia, ; they have been victorious in all of them. Mr. Hoover's pitch to the home plate was a better “heave” than he made last year, when, during the confusion | incident to the picture taking and cneering while the President stood up and held the ball preparatory to pitch- ing it out on the field, he held the ball 80 long that the umpire produced an- other ball and the game started, leaving the President holding the original ball. He sheepishly tucked the ball into his coat pocket and from accounts has given it a conspicuous place among his souvenirs, DAY BRIGHT AND SUNNY. Philadelphia Shows Extraordinary En- | thusiasm in First Home Game. PHILADELPHIA, October (#).—World series excitement spread rapidly today through the home bailiwick of the champion Athletics as the rush began for Shibe Park and the third game of the base ball battle wth the St. Louls Cardinals. It was a bright, sunny day, the same Indian Summer weather that marked ‘the first two games in St. Louis, but with clearer visibility. Unusual Enthusiasm Shown. An early morning fog lifted on scenes of unusual activity about Shibe Park. Philadelphia fandom, despite business conditions and the repetition of world series honors for the home team, mani- fested extraordinary enthusiasm, per- haps due to the sudden turn of events that squared the series in St. Louis. So great was the press outside Shibe Park that the two bleacher entrances were opened at 7:50 am. One was closed in exactly an hour and the other shortly after 9 o'clock, with every seat filled. ‘The last man to get in the park had taken his place in line at 6:30. Several were arrested for selling their places, but later discharged by a magistrate. On tops of houses opposite the right- fleld wall temporary stands to accom- modate 1,800 spectators attracted a few early birds. Betting was light around the down- town centers, but several wagers were placed on the Athletics to take the Series at 2 to 1. Speculators got as high as $25 and $50 for reserved seats for today's game, depending on the location. A's Royally Greeted. ‘The Athletics, trim and neat in white uniforms and caps, trotted out for bat- ting practice a few minutes before noon and were royally greeted by their faith- 7 ful followers in left center. The scat- tered few in the reserved sections of the 'c‘overed stands sat up and paid atten- ion. Apparently the batting practice Con- nie Mack put his boys through yester- day—first time in the history of the world series that a team has worked out on Sunday—sharpened their batting eyes. Al Simmons, head man in the slugging depamment of the A’s, promptly got the left-field range and started whanging balls into the rush seats. Jimmy Foxx fcllowed Simmons to the plate, and with Ed Rommel pitching, picked up where Al left off, to the great glee of the crowd. As the scramble for the home run balls was at its height, Poxx picked out the only fellow dozing in the sun seats and lofted a pitch into his lap. Walker Pitches to Cards. The A’s finished up on Rommel with a storm of wallops to the far fences and trotted off to give the Cardinals chance to sharpen thelr clouting eyes. | Simmons trotted around the bases after | one belt into the stands, his usual pro- cedure when he intends to hit a home Tun during a game. He did that and the home run in Paul Derringer. In the second game at : St. Louis all the A’s heavy hitters fol- lowed his example and they got but | three small singles off Hallahan's speed and curves. Today Simomns trotted alone. The Cardinals went to work on the offerings of Allan Stout, a right-hander, before Biil Walker, borrowed from the Giants for just this purpose, showed them what high-grade left-handed pitching looks like. They hit Walker about the same as they did in St. Louis before the opening game, mostly driving the ball into the infleld. Shifting to fielding drill, the Cards’ injured third baseman, Sparky Adams, who was kept out of the first two games in St. Louis by a damaged leg, took his place at the far corner and tuned up his arm with several long, accurate throws to first. Adams, un- less injured again, will play third base the remainder of the series. Adams Increases Strength. ‘The Cardinals welcomed increased strength with return of Adams. Andy High substituted in tie opening game for “Sparky,” who played the best ball of his career in the regular National e season, and Jake Flowers, ordi- narily a second baseman, took his post in the second. Neither is a hitter or flelder of Adams’ ability. Every indication today was that a capacity crowd of 32,500, among their number the chlmm !oofl-luck mascot of the Athletics, lent Hoover, was # destined to see a pitchers’ battle that was a holdover from the 1930 world series’ 'wh!ch theA‘lwonm*lw- PYTPUI EBINFUBUY TARWE T SANCI I PAR SHIRE “ iy the first game was off | nish more jobs or pay the penalty of higher taxes. 1 The fifty-first annual gathering of the American Federation of Labor was summoned, President William..

By the Associated Press. SALT LAKE CITY, October 5.—A more equal distribution of wealth as a means of restoring stability and peace to the world was advocated by members of the First Presidency of the Latter Day Saints Church at the closing session of their semi-annual conference here yesterday. President Heber J. Grant, Anthony W. Ivins and Charles W. Nibley, mem- bers of the First Presidency, joined in a plea for a more equal distribu- tion of wealth, but warned against any forceful means of attempting such a measure. Senator Reed Smoot, a member of the Councll of Twelve, stressed the need of religion in the world today. He blamed atheistic teachings for the increase in crime in the United States prohibition law.

In contests in 1929 and 1930, the Chief Executive has never seen the Athletics | beaten. It seemed today as though the Cardi- nals, rallying around the brave single- handed offensive of Martin, the fleet | centerfielder, who is hitting over .700 and playing inspired base ball, has the best chance of any National League club in five years to overcome the domi- nation of the American League cham- pions. “They're very tough,” said the 68- year-old Connle Mack today, but no tougher than I expected. I wouldn't be surprised if we had to go to St. Louis again and to a seventh game if we are to win out.” Echoing Mack’s forebodings, even rabld supporters of the Athletics were willing to admit the danger of Martin's teammates, shaken out of a two-year lethargy by the youngster's remarkable play, coming tc life to play the kind jof ball that spread-eagled the field in |the National League season as thor- oughly as the Athletics conquered the opposition in the American circuit. If only a large part of that should hap- pen, the A’s would be df:rrately put | to head off the Red Bf charge in \such a short spAn as the five games remaining of the serles. The blase attitude of the Philadelphia faithful after -the Athletics’ opening conquest has been dissipated by the stubborn Cardinal opposition in the second game, one of the most inter- esting and spectacular contests in world series history. Hunireds waited overnight in the lines at the $1 windows for the sale of “rush” seats in the blcachers. The head man in that line was the repre- sentative of an athletic club, that wagered $1 against $200 with a rival club that it could buy the first cheap ticket issucd. He had been there since last Tuesday night. ‘To brighten the batting eyes of such clouters as Al Simmons, Jimmy Foxx, Mickey Cochrane, Jimmie Dykes, Mule Haas, Dib Williams and the rest, Con- nie Mack sent his team through a stiff two-hour ba and fielding drill yves- terday, despite the blue law sanctity of the city. Almost as soon as Gabby Street had his Cardinals unpacked shortly before noon, after their train ride from St. Louis, he raced them out onto the ball field for the same sort of practice. Unkind observers suggested that some sort of mental drill might be useful along with the physical calisthenics, pointing out that over the brief span <f two games there have been far more than the normal number of mental lapses. and sharply criticized violators of the, five games, two of them world series' PRESIDENT INVITES | BIPARTISAN GROUP Parley With Congressmen to!

DWIGHT MORROW DIES SUDDENLY AT NEW JERSEY HOME (Continued From First Page.) United States take a leading part in the forthcoming arms ccnference. Though holding that a reasonably prosperous agricultural population is necessary for national welfare, the re- port does not go far into this subject. In asserting the necessity for a change in the anti-trust laws, the report says that “only through a proper co- ;:;g:n&tmn of pmd\:’cfll(m and consump- N a sane, orderly and progressive economic life be developed.” > Business Must Be Sound. “‘Under our form of industry a larg part of the national income rli' dl‘strl).s)f uted through the instrumentality of in- dustry and business, the distribution being in the form of wages, salaries, rents, interest and dividends,” the re- port says. “If, then, as is to be desired, industry is to pay out high wages to people working a reasonable number of hours and 1is to set up reserves in time of prosperity for unemployment, benefits and to provide means to care for acci- dents, sickness and old age, business must be on a sound basis, and produc- 332 must be balanced with consump- “Many producers would refer to gauge their output to the fimsumlnq capacity and divide the volume of such production among the different units of industry on an equitable basis. But they cannot do this today because of the’ ever-present risk of incurring the penal- ties of the anti-trust laws which, suit- able as they may have been for eco- nomic conditions of another day, are not entirely in consonance with the present-day needs of industry. “It is not suggested that the present anti-trust laws be repealed, but it is suggested that they be amended to pro- vide that business concerns desiring to enter into contracts for the purpose of equalizing production to consumption and so carrying on business on a sound basis, provided that such contracts are filed with some governmental authority, such contracts to take effect and to re- main effective unless the governmental authority having supervision finds on its own initiative or on complaint that such agreements are not in the public interest, in which event such agree- ments would be abrogated; and permit- ting businesses that desire to combine to find out from some suitable govern- mental authority before the combination is made whether or not such combina- tion is prohibited by the anti-trust laws, ‘We do not suggest the details of legislation, but we do feel that such agreements should be made, not omly with the fullest publicity but under supervision of some governmental authority which should, either upon its own initiative or upon complaint, have the right to review or annul such agree- ments. Business prosperity and em- ployment will be best maintained by an intelligently planned business structure which affords a fair opportunity to make a reasonable profit through pro- ductive activities, t we emphasize again that if this permission is to be granted it must be accompanied by such reascnable governmental regula- tions as will prevent extortion and unfair business practices.” On the subject of the economic council, the report says that it should be an advisory body rather than a planning board with functions like those of the War Industries Board, the feasibility of which, as well as the constitutionality in peace time, would be_doubtful. ‘The council, it said, should devote itself to the study of such questions as th;‘h!ollowg)g: e tendency of productive capacit: to outrun ability to buy; the levgl.u o:; wages; foreign trade, both export and import; in what way and by what agencies authoritative information and statistics can be gathered and pub- lished s0 as to be the most useful guides to lndustry' Other Problems. Agriculture, transporation, credit and finance are other subjects that call for consideration, the report says, adding: “In order to gpeak with the authority desired, the cofincil members must not only be of the highest ability and character, but they must also be rep- resentative of the country as a whole and not of any particular constitu- ency, and they must be so appointed that they will be entirely beyond sus- picion of control by any group. The council should be small, three or at the most, five members. “It should be so financed that it can set up an ample staff of econormists end statisticlans, and it should call to its aid representative committees from various industries and professions. It should be charged broadly with the responsibility of proposing policies and measures that will contribute to our economic well being. It should be asked to make preliminary recommendations as promptly as possible, but it should be insured ample time to demonstrate its usefulness.” The council, the report suggests, should be formed by a larger appointive board invited by the chamber to act. On this latter would be represented the chamber, Depariment of Commerce, Labor, Agriculture, manufacturing, rafl- roads, banking, public utilities, dis- tributive trades, law, engineering and professional economists. The basis for unemployment relief suggested by the committee is the so- called “Rochester plan,” which proposes the setting up by concerns of a reserve fund for contingencies of this nature. While it is not recommended that em- ployes, by their contributions, aid in bullding up these funds, it is explained that such a procedure is possible. A relief plan of this sort, the com- mittee says, is designed to give an em- ploye greater security and tends to stabilize employment. ‘This plan also includes the establish- ment of employment centers where all those receiving benefits are compelled military supply aspects of the work as “exceptionally meritorious,” a judgment which was echoed by Gen. Charles G. Dawes. And after Calvin Coolidge had left, the White House President Hoover confirmed the judgment of his prede- cessor as to the Morrow talents and capabilitics, by naming the Ambassador as a member of the American delega- tion to the Five-Power London Naval Conference of 1930. There \ie and Gen. Dawes, the latter being thew Ambassador to the Court of St. James, specialized on the Franco- Italian navai problem and it was sald that it was no fault of theirs that the ultimate treaty, in the drafting of which Mr. Morrow took a leading part, did not become a five-power pact instead of being limited to the United States, Great Britain and Japan. In 1928 he was one of the American delegates to the sixth Pan-American Congress, held in Havana. Started as Law Clerk. Mr. Morrow's list of achievements in professional life, business, diplomacy and practical politics sprang from an intellectual heritage, but a background of decidedly moderate worldly posses- sions. His father, Prof. James E. Mor- row, was president of Marshall College at Huntington, W. Va., when his second son was born there on January 11, 1873. The mother was Clara Johnson Morrow, reared on an Ohio farm, but known to her girlhood neighbors as “literary” be- cause of the number of bocks she read and because she was a champion speller. They named their second son for Prof. Willlam Dwight Whitney of Yale, author of a famous English grammar. The future diplomat finished his or- dinary schooling at _Allegheny, Pa.. where his father had become a teacher in the high school. He worked his way through Ambherst College, winning the degree of bachelor of arts in 1895 Then he turned to the study of law and after four years struggle with ccant finances, graduated with an LLB. de- gree from Columbia University in 1899 J. P. Morgan & Co. Joined. He got himself a job as law clerk with the firm of Simpson. Thacher & Bartlett in New York, persuading them that he was worth $60 a month to start. Six years later he was a member of the firm and nine years after that in 1914, he transferred his allegiance to finance and became a partner in J. Morgan & Co. With that famous house he spe- cialized in international loans, spending considerable time in Cuba and also devoting attention to the increased European business that followed the outbreak of the world war. In these activities he displayed not only keen commercial sagacity but also qualities of tact, sympathy and under- standing that marked him as a leader in_business diplomacy. It was President Coolidge’s knowledge of Mr. Morrow'’s talents as a conciliator that prompted him to appoint the banker in 1925 as chairman of the board which studied the dispute over airplane defense between Gen. William Mitchell and high Army officials. This board sifted the wheat from the chaff of the controversy, then made unani- mous reccmmendations which within a | year were made effective by Congress | and put in force as Government policies. Made Envoy to Mexico in 1927, ‘Two years of continued business suc- cess followed, then on September 30, 1927, the banker became Ambassador to Mexico, first resigning his partner- ship in the Morgan concern. Mexico was then just beginning to emerge from a long period of tumult marked by givil wars, the overthrow of several administrations, widespread banditry, revolutionary laws relating to property rights of foreigners and anti-religious propaganda. Outstanding in the pending questions with the United States was a _controversy over oil rights on which 40,000 words of notes had been exchanged with Washington with- out tangible result. Ambassedor Morrow found that con- fidence between the two governments was a decidedly minus quality. So first he started to make the Mexicans believe in the United States and his own coun- try believe in its smaller southern neighbor. A famous ham and eggs breakfast with President Elias Calles at the lat- ter’s ranch outside Mexico City has been credited with being the real start of this campaign. Discarding the useless sygtem of ex- changing notes, the new diplomat adopted the method of direct, friendly conversation with responsible officials as a means of settling international problems. Groups in disagreement on the oil questions were brought face to face, the essential similarities in their viewpoints were stressed and after much earnest study Mexico adopted legislation confirming oil lands conces- sions that was acceptable to both sides. Another big question, but with no di- rect American Government interest, arose when President Calles put into effect constitutional provisions upsetting the position of the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico. Priests were with- drawn from their parishes by the church authorities, the government halted re- liglous education and abrogated many church prcperty rights and for three years there raged a controversy that was punctuated by bloody fighting in several States of the southern republic. The whole subject was outside the Ambassador’s jurisdiction but both sides turned toward him as a friendly neutral sand, more than any other one man, he was credited with having paved the way for final adustments that were signed in June, 1929, by representatives of the hierarchy and Provisional Pres- to register, so that if employment de- velops in which they may be placed, they are available. The committee agrees with the recent declaration of Gerard Swope, head of the General Electric, in proj un- employment relief, that the idea ld be adopted uniformly throughout in- dustry, that one employer, in money for such an arrangement, would not he placed &t a disadvantage as compared to another whw not, ident Portes Gil, successr to Calles. Daughtér Weds Here. = Before this Mr. Morrow had thorough- 1y convinced Calles and other Mexican leaders that he was actuated by sincere friendship for the Mexican people. The ending of the church question saw this belief as firmly intrenched in the popu- lar mind. Marriage of “the” Ambassa- dor's daughter Anne to Charles Lind- bergh on May 27, 1929, helped enhance the popular regard for Mr. Morrow and his family. The fact that the young people met when the famous aviator reached Mexico City on the first of his | good will tours of Latin America, and | that “Leendy” came back by air to make several visits with the Morrow family, appealed to the love for romance inher- ent in a Latin people. He left Mexico September 17, 1930. After a brief rest, Mr. Morrow plunged into the senatorial election campaign in New Jersey. He had been selected for the Republican nominaticn months | before at a primary which saw him roll {up a plurality of more than _400.000 | votes over two opponents, the big vic- |tory being attributed mainly to his | stand against continuaticn of the pro- | hibition experiment in the United | States. In that pronouncement he advocated repeal of the eighteenth amendment. | He also proposed that control of the liquor business should be intrusted to the individual States. The pcpular re- | sponse to this platform had immediate repercussions in all parts of the ‘toun- try, and was so overwhelming that it | aroused hopes abroad of an early return ‘Iof America to the world's liquor market ist. Mr. Morrow's election in November, 1930, entitled him to add the descrip- tlon “statesman” to the list of “lawyer, banker, diplomat” which had epito- mized his earlier vocations. It came by & majority of nearly 200,000 in a Demo- cratic year and again focussed atten- tion to him. Talk of him as probable | presidential timber, which had started after his primary success, was revived. Political expediency alone kept him from coming a soldier. He had a boy- hood ambition to enter West Point and | drove far enough toward that goal to | win a competitive examination for the | appointment. But the Congressman of his home district in West Virginia sud- denly recollected that Dwight's elder brother, Jay, was already a cadet, and he thought it poor policy to have two members of the same family holding |these plums at the same time. That elder brother later became Gen. Jay J. Morrow, chief engineer of the 1st Army and deputy chief engineer of the A. E. | F. in France. Dwight Morrow might not have been accepted by the West Point authorities even if he had been given th2 appoint- ment. An arm broken in boyhood had been improperly set, and his stature of jonly an inch or two above five feet might also have counted against him. |~ Dwight graduated from high school | at 14. He was too young and too small to go to college, so he got a job at $4 a week, saved part of this money and a year later flunked the entranee ex- | aminations for Jefferson College, his father's Alma Mater. He also flunked most of the entrance quizzes for Am- herst, but through the intervention of a faculty member was permitted to en- ter with an unorthodox number of “‘conditions.” Ambherst almost lost one of its most valuable alumni at that time. Ulti- mately he became a trustee of the col- lege, was instrumental in raising an jendowment fund of $3,000,000 for its |faculty and gave so liberally to the | building program that a dormitory was named for him. Social life of the undergrads of that day revolved chiefly around the girls of Smith College at Mass., and at a party in his sophos | more " year young Morrow was intro- | duced “by his campus cognomen of “Kid Morrow” to a Smith freshman, | Elizabeth Reeves Cutter of Cleveland. | They were married more than 11 years later on July 16, 1903, the event being !put off until he had made a start in aw. | That start was none too auspicious, |as he was getting only $1.800 a year. | Their budget allowed only $35 a month | for rent and long search finally located 'tkm in a little brown house in Engle- Elisabeth, Anne and Dwight Morrow, |ir. were born in that “little brown | house.” Constance, the fourth child of the rising young lawyer and his wife, came into the world after the | family had moved to more pretentious quarters. ‘The law continued to be his voca- | tion until 1914. In those years he | seldom appeared in court; in fact, he disliked the open clashes that this rhase of practice involved. He worked chiefly in reconciling interests which gonfllcud with those of clients of the | firm. He was_a trustee of Amherst Col- 1lege, the Union Theological Seminary, an interdenominational institution in New York; the Russell Sage Founda- tion, the Carnegie Foundation for In- tefnational Peace and the Smithsonian Institution at Washington. Besides the degrees which he earned by study at Amherst and Columbia, he received hoporary doctorates in law from the University of Rochester, 1920; 'Pflncewn. 1925; Williams, 1926; Penn- sylvania, 1926, and Yale, 1927. The presentation of these brought lauda- tory summations of his career fromd the heads of the various schools. But Mr. Morrow's intimates found keys to his character in his own sayings, among them this one: “If facts can be properly gathered and distributed, the presumption is strong that men in different nations will understand each other. Men want to understand each other. That is the great quest in life.” MAN FOUND H;NGING SUICIDE, CORONER FINDS William G. England, 44, Dead in Woods, Had Been Inmate of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital.

Last _night’s discussions, in which | Cuba, Chile, Brazil and Argentina took | the most active part, centered on this question. It was pointed out the con- | ference delegates had only a consulta- | tive capacity and could not. pledge their | governments without special plenipoten- | tiary powers. i _An important object of the presession | discussion, some members of the group explained afterward, was to seek an un- derstanding which would forestail bring- |ing the tariff subject abruptly into oper session and risk precipitating violent | discussion which might threaten to dis- rupt the conference’s work.

The | Argentine duties on fruits and yerbe | mate, for example, are resented as pro- | hibitive by Paraguay. Other countries | similarly have turned to high levies, | particularly since the current depres- | sion set in. | Although there appeared differences | of opinion among the delegates as to | how far the present meeting should go | on the question, off-the-floor discussion indicated a general belief in a need for tariff readjustments, but with other | parts of the world in mind. One point brought up in connection with the Cuban proposal was that for the American republics to declare a | holiday on tariffs among themselves | might work first to the advantage of Europe and other outside markets which could grofll by the outlawing of further tariff barriers against their products. | " At a meeting last night Latin Amer- | ican delegates chose Ramon ,Arias F. of Panama to respond for the group to the welcome address today of Secretary Stimson. | The opening session got under way at 110 o'clock, with Secretary Stimson, as chairman of the Governing Board of the Pan-American Union, which called | the conference, presiding. and voicing | the hope that the conferees would be | attended by “the fullest measure of suc- {eess in their deliberations.” | Traces Slump to World War. Swinging directly into the problems which confront the nations of the world because of the depression, Sec- retary Lamont told his auditors “we |meet in a difficult and anxious time,” and that theirs is the cpportunity to be of service to all our countries.” Tracing depression to the World War, Mr. Lamont added that “each nation of the world made further contribu- tions to the depth and breadth cf its own particular share in it by economic of one sort or another—but | whether it was overproduction in cer- {tain directions or overspeculation in | stocks and bonds, whether in some other country it was extravagance in unproductive construction or attempts at artificial price stabilization of com. | modities, or unwise budgetary prac- tices—each country must correct its | own mistakes and get its own house in | order.” Pointing to recent tariff increases by ports of such commodities as automo- biles, machinery, textiles, foodstuffs, petroleum products, chemicals, hard- ware, refrigerators and home and of- fice supplies, Strawn disclaimed any in- tention to “criticize,” adding that “fre- quently do we hear criticism of our own | United States tariffs.” He added, how- ever, that “our tariff rates are fixed and do not go up and down with the rise | and fall of exchange, so that, when our | merchants go abroad to purchase goods i they know what they will have to pay when they reach the port of entry.” Continuing, he said “the most ben ficial feature of our tariff is its ad- justability.” Explaining the functions of the Tariff Commission and the op- er?élon of the flexible provision, Strawn said: “May I hope that other nations may adopt clear basic principles upon which their tariffs may be adjusted. This would constitute a long step forward in bringing order out of the chaos which at present frequently characterizes tarifl schedules.” At noon the delegates, numbering something more than 100 from the southern countries and 400 from the United States were guests of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon at luncheon at the Pan-American Union. This afternoon they divided into two groups, one to take up the question of transportation and the other consular and customs procedure. On Thursday the conference will be addressed by President Hoover. —— SENTENCE SUSPEND%D Rubio Attacker Held in Prison, However, Awating Appeal.

Officials of the conference, particu- larly those representing the United States, declared that there was no plan, so far as they knew, to bring the silver question to the fore in the coming conference. But, at the same time, they said there was no doubt the silver issue could be brought before meetings held in connection with the ;:on]frerence and before the conference tself. On the agenda of the conference is a consideration of the topic “Stabili- zation of Currency.” Dr. E. W. Kam- merer, a res authority who has been employed in the past to revamp the currency and financial systems of five of the South American countries, is to have the '"“"fi;:'"‘ in this cussion. It is not , ho ever, to bring before the conference the subjebt of bimetallism. Many Off Gold Standard. South and Central American coun- tries, generally, have adhered to the gold standard for many years, though in recent months Argentina and Brazil have been off the gold standard com- pletely, and so have some of the other countries. Several of them have held longer to the gold standard than others. but_practically all of them have now declined to sell gold for legal tender, such as Great Britain has done re- cently. Mexico really has taken a defifiite stand, however, on the silver question, adopting what may be termed a silver stanidard for its currency and credit. If the silver question is to be thrown into the Pan-American Conference this week it is considered likely that the Mexican delegates may take a promi- nent part in the discussion. But while the Pan-American Con- ference may discuss -this subject if it desires, it could in no way be consid- ered a substitute for the international monetary conference which has been. proposed to President Hoover by Sen: tor Borah of Idaho, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, it wafi explained by Senator Borah him- self. The Borah plan looks to an inter- national conference that would embrace the nations of Europe and of the Orient as well as those of the Western Hemishere. At such a conference, with tion convention today by Fairman R. Dick, New York investment banker. Mr. Dick, who has appeared before the Interstate Commerce Commission as a representative of holders of millions of dollars of railroad bonds, dismissed bus, waterway and taxation difficulties as incapable of quick solution. Confidence Seen Lacking. “The difficulty lies rather in lack of confiden than Jack of present earnings,” he said. “To restore confi- dence and convince investors that the railroads would be permitted adequate earnings in the future, some tangible step must now be taken by the com= mission. ‘The only practical step vet suggested is the proposed rate increase. “In epite of theoretical situation, I am not pessimistic as to its solution. § believe that the Government fully ine tends to give investors the protection so clearly stated in the transportation act Thrift “Basic Factor. ‘Thrift as “a basic factor in God's ordering of the universe” was stressed today. “If 'you believe in the wisdom, power and foreight of a divine rule of the world.” said A. C. Robinson, president of the Peoples-Pittsburgh Trust Co. opening the division meeting, “you have no option but to believe that thrift— the providing today for uncertain toe morrows—is a basic factor in His plane ning and ordering of the universe.” ‘The speaker attacked the dole as & corrupter of character of the individual and Nation. Permanent Lending Values. A plea that savings banks co-operate to provide permanent lending values, rather than speculative values, was a dressed to the division by Henry Bruere, president of the Bowery Savings Bank of New York. He urged the bankers to look to the statisticians, sociologists and economists, “who have the ability to .synthesize America’s perhaps too great fund of knowledge,” and proposed that the save ings banks “have courage to take up the torch of leadership, which every one seems afraid to handle, by show- ing what co-operation can accomplish.” ‘The division elected Jay Morrison, vice president of the Washington Mutual the nations’ governments officially rep- resented, an agrcement might be drawn up, binding upon ail the nations when ratified, accordirg to the forms pre- scribed by their fundamental laws, ';{"Ch would fix a ratio for gold and silver. Fear Agreement Break. Opponents of the bimetalic system in Washington today declared that there seemed no real possibility of an international agreement fixing a ratio for gold and silver; that in some coun- tries the demand would be to increase the ratio over the ratio proposed in others. And that even if an agreement were entered into, it probably would not be lived up to. ‘The opponents of abandonment of the gold standard as a permanent monetary standard and standard of credit complained that the adoption of a bimetalic standard would result in the use of silver bullion in huge and unwieldy quantities. ~ They insisted, furthermore, that the present supply of monetary gold is ample to meet the needs of the world for business and as a basis for credit, about $11,000,000,000 of gold in all. It is the contention of the supporters of bimetalism, on the other hand, that the supply of gold is woefully short, with more than five billions of the total amount in the United States, an- other two or three billion in France and only some three billions in gold for the rest of the world. The supporters of the gold standard say that in view of the contraction of world trade, it is still more obvious that the gold supply, which met the needs of business and credit when the boom times were on, is sufficient today. Their contention is that political even more than economic causes have brought about the tremendous flow of gold into the United States and France, where the governments have been considered stable and investments sound. Solution Is Urgent. Senator Key Pittman of Nevada, who has just returned to Washington from a visit to China and other Far Eastern countries to study the question of i trade with China and how it is affected by the silver situation and the exchange value of silver, said today that some- thing must be done as soon as possible by the nations of the world to stabilize the exchange value of silver; that steps must be taken, if possible, to make a silver dollar in China and a silver dol- lar in Mexico, for example, equal in purchasing power to a silver dollar in the United States. He denied that he was interested in proposals, at this time, for a bimetalic monetary system. Many plans, he said, have been advanced for the stabiliza- tion of the exchange value of silver, and would have to be considered, but if the trade of the United States is not to suffer still more in China and else- where because of the depreciation of the exchange value of silver, he insist- ed, something must be done with as little delay as possible. Officials of the Pan-American com- mercial conference took the view that the Latin-American republics, generally !R:lkihfl, have not been interested in the subject of bimetalism, or particu- larly in the silver question. They make an exception of Mexico. The opinion advanced by some of the American delegates is that the present agitation for bimetalism -in the United States comes principally from Senators and Representatives in Congress who hail from silver producing States. Further Suspension Seen. The interest in the silver question has been greatly stimulated by the temporary abandonment of the gold standard by Great Britain, which was followed by similar actions by Sweden, /Denmark and Norway. The suspension of the gold standard by other European countries has been predicted. It is said that Germany, Italy and Holland may be_compelled to follow suit. The Pan-American commercial con- ference, the fourth of its kind, has been called to stimulate and benefit inter- American trade and commerce, through the removal of obstacles, which now stand in the way. This would seem to make possible the consideration of the very vital question of exchange between the American nations and the stabili- zation of exchange values.
