STOCKHOLM, Sweden, November 10.—The 1932 Nobel Prize for Lit- erature was bestowed today upon John Galsworthy, the British novelist. The author of “The Forsyte Saga” had been mentioned in newspaper pre- dictions as the probable recipient of | the award. | Last rye 's prize was won by Erik| A. Karlfeldt of Sweden. Sinclair Lewis, | who received the prize in 1930, was the | first American to be so honored. Bince 1901, when the prizes were established under the will of Alfred B. | Nobel, Swedish scientist, who invented | dynamite, only two other Englishmen have won the award for literature. Rud- | g;fl Kipling took it in 1807 and George | rnard Shaw in 1925. | First Novel in 1898. Mr. Galsworthy, now 65, published | his first novel, “Jocelyn,” in 1898 under the nom de plume of John Sinjohn. | It was not till 1904 that he attracted neral attention with “The Island of 'harisees,” the first of a series of novels dealing with problems of the social world. ‘The most famous of his works, of course, are those comprising the Forsyte series, which trace the fictional his- tory of the Forsyte family in England and America.

Forty years ago Galsworthy made a voyage to the South Seas on the sailing vessel Torrens. Conrad was first offi- cer. During the long weeks they talked | of writing and Conrad showed his friend | a manuscript. It was “Almayer’s Folly.” Galsworthy was delighted. He urged Conrad to continue his writing and in later years they worked together in London. | As he developed, Galsworthy's interest in and connection with America in- creased. Nearly all his later novels and stories were published simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1919 he made a tour of the United States. lecturing on Anglo-American friendship and similar subjects. Later the lectures were published as “Addresses in America.” Last year's prise was worth about $31,000.

Several groups held steady, but farm products, foods, hides and leathér prod- ucts, textile products and miscellaneous commodities declined sufficiently to bring about a general lowering of the wholesale price level. Fuel and lighting materials, metals and metal products, chemicals and drugs and house furnishing goods were the classifications in which no change was noted last week. Foods showed an even more drastic reduction. They declined 1.3 per cent and are now lower than at any time since the week of June 18.

In the dining room, at the end of the short hall from which stairs run up to the living room and bed room, the butler already had set the table, with its high-backed chairs. President-elect Roosevelt had returned to Hyde Park, but Mrs. Roosevelt was havitg some of her children and their friends to dinner “What effect,” she was asked. “do you think a place such as the White House is likely to have on children? Yours are. naturally, too old for such environ- ment to make much difference.” Not Good for Children. “I am not sure of that,” she replied. “Political office is not good for chil- dred. Sometimes I think my younger children have been a little affected by it already. The trouble is, of course,” said Mrs. Roosevelt, “the matter of spe- | cial privilege. When children find that. because of their association with posi- tion, they can perhaps do things others cannot do, it is hard to teach them that is the very reason they should be careful not to do those things.” But in seeing some of the junior Roosevelts passing through the small living room foyer, into which the front door opens and the walls of which are covered with prints of battleships and marine engagements, from the great collection gathered by the President- elect before and during the time he was Assistant Secretary of the Navy, the im- pression of the spectator was that they had turned out well.

Whil: I always was very fond of my Uncle Ted, d I know he always was very fond of my father and very nice to me, I never saw a great deal of my cousins.” Mrs. Roosevelt paused for & moment and then resumed by referring to her cousin, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth. “Alice was the only one about my age. She was a little older. but the boys were quite a lot vounger.
