'ORDER OF PROCEDURE DEVELOPS DIFFERENCES Suggestions on What to Do First Reveal Wide Variation of Views on Best Methods. B¥ PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The PARIS, France, January 11.—Discus- sions of the Geneva experts to prepare the World Economic Conference are centering, it is revealed here, around three main headings. These are: 1. A return to the gold standard. 2. Methods of raising wholesale prices. 3. Lowering of tariffs and removal of quotas and prohibitions. Opinions giffer regarding which of these three subjects should be discussed or effected first. But the fact appears to be that ultimately they will be re- garded as simultaneous and interde- | pendent measures. ‘The discussions, indeed, have tended to indicate that stabilization of cur- rencies depends upon higher prices and lower trade barriers, but that higher prices depend on freer trade and sta- bilized currencies, while lowering of trade barriers and removal of artificial restrictions require stabilized currencies and higher prices. Requires Four Steps. 1. A return to the gold standard, in the opinion of experts, seems to imply these steps: First, a final and complete settlement of intergovernmental debts. Second, readjustment and stabilizing of private international short-term and long-term cebts. Third, an international credit pool to assist stabilization. Fourth, restoration of political con- fidence, lack of which has been a leading factor in the depression. 1. There is apparently no agreement as yet on how to ralse prices. The Eritish seem to propose an interna- tional “reflation” agreement. 8ir Arthur Salter, noted British econcmist, recommends a “world policy of controlled inflation.” Hkokok (®) Means Associated — TWO CENTS.

By the Associated Pres A Benate Judiclary Subcommittee decided today to redraft the House 3.2 | per cent beer bill in a way which Chair- man Blaine sald would “bring it within the Constitution without any doubt | whatever.” Senator Blaine, Republican of Wis- consin, sald an “overwhelming major- ity” of the group of five favored the redraft, which will be drawn today and considered tomorrow. The specific plan in mind was not announced, but several proposals have been advanced, including the fixing of Leaders Disagree. Prof. A. C. Pigou, of the political economy staff of Cambridge University, writing in the London Times, urges a “general step-for-step movement to- ward monetary reflation.” John Maynard Keynes, British econo- mist, wants the Bank for International Settlements at Basel to issue $5,000,- 000,000 in certificates, which would be accepted internationally as gold and distributed in accordance with the economic importance of the various countries. The United States seems to want to discuss the possible remonetizing of silver. There is also a trend toward dis- cussing producers’ agreements, for ex- ample, in the cases of wheat, coal and timber, and toward a discussion of an international agreement to dispose of surplus stocks of commodities now clogging the world's markets. Want Commercial Peace. 3. On lowering of trade barriers there are apparently no great differ- ences. It is generally felt that quotas and prechibitions should be abolished, tariffs lowered in some equitable man- ner and commercial peace declared among the nations on the basis, with certain necessary exceptions, of the most-favored-nation clause. However, carrying out of these steps is recognized to be impractical unless currencies are stabilized and prices raised, which brings the discussion back to where it began—namely, at what particular point should a beginning be made. made public yesterday, was reported to have lost her passport when Soviet | citizenship was withdrawn from Trotsky | and his family. | The only message she left said: | “Be good to my boy.

Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, was the only one absent from today's meeting of the subcommittee. Those present besides Blaine were Hebert, Re- publican, of Rhode Island; Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, and Dill, Demo- crat, of Washington. Considerable opposition to the beer bill on constitutional grounds was voiced at a public hearing last week by prohibition leaders, although others held ‘¢t was within the power of Con- gress to define an intoxicating bev:r-l age. Amendment on Advertising. In the House today an amendment to | the Coliler beer bill to permit Nation- | wide advertising of the 3.2 per cent | beverage in newspapers was introduced by Representative Erk, Republican, of | Pennsylvania, at the request of the | Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers’ As- | sociation. | “The amendment,” Erk said in a | statement, “would provide for all ave- | nues of modern publicity in the market- ing of the beverage and would aid to produce the greatest possible revenue by taxation of the non-intoxicating mait liquors authorized by the Collier bill.” The Collier bill prohibits the adver- tising of or solicitation of orders for the beverage. Erk said if the provisions were retained in the bill “the market- | ing of beer would be seriously handi- | capped.” The committee’s action on beer over- shadowed for the moment the prohibi- tion repeal situation, which has been complicated by Speaker Garner's stand for outright effacement of the eighteenth amendment, with no Federal reservations. Despite the opposition of Garner and other House leaders, Senate Demo- crats intend to bring to a vote the reso- lution drafted by the Blaine subcom- mittee which provides for Federal pro- tection to dry States and gives Con- gress power to bar saloons. Walsh Predicts Passage. Senator Walsh, assistant Democratic leader, predicted yesterday that the Blaine resolution would pass the Sen- ate, but at the same time there ap- peared to be a sharp division of opin- lon among wets of both parties over the saloon clause. The Republican wet bloc of the House will meet Friday to consider the proposal. Representative Beck of Pennsylvania, in announcing the meet- ing, expressed his personal opposition on the ground that it “fatally compro- mises the basic principle of the wet movement which is to restore to the States their ancient right of self-gov- ernment.” —_— LEGISLATORS PASS HAT FOR HUNGER MARCHERS $255 Contributed by Californians Who Promise to Consider Relief Measures. to d he became the target of intrigue, es-| the By the Associated Press.

The charge that poor securities were subsituted as collateral on Kreuger and Toll securities sold in the United States, | with the approval of the New York Stock Exchange, was made by Chair- man Norbeck today at the reopening of the Senate Banking Committee's stock market investigation.

Representative Goss, Republican, of Connecticut, who originally sought to force the ballot, had expressed a will- ingness to forego it. Earlier, Senator Dickinson, Repub- lican, of Towa had told President Hoo- ver the bill was “dead.” But one of the chief Republican foes at the Capitol, Clarke of New York, predicted its passage by the House and the vote on the enacting clause seemed to bear him out. Jones told the House that the flood of telegrams received against including hogs originated with the packers.

The motion to eliminate hogs wek made by Representative Beam, Damo- crat, of Illinois. It was offered after majorities had overridden protests of sponsors to add two commodities not recommended by the Agriculture Com- mittee. On one of these—peanuts—another vote was promised by Jones. But the other—dairy products—appar- ently was due to stay in with the five commodities recommended by the com- mittee. ‘The dairy amendment for a 5-cent-a- pound bounty on 80 per cent of the butterfat production was inserted by the sizeable majority of 102 to 75, while g:ll!ln:lu slipped through a 111-to-110 ot.

The export market is| needed to sustain the price level and prevent the processor from taking the tax out of the producer’s price.” The bill is designed to guarantee a pre-war ratio with other commodity prices by collecting and distributing to producers a processing tax on do- mestic consumption. Its operation would end in one year unless extended by the President.
