3 “MEN OF PEACE” 10 SEE ROOSEVELT MacDonald, Luther and Her- riot Will Try Again to Stabilize Europe. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. ‘Three men full of idealism and good wil, who attempted to stabilize the political situation in Europe in 1924, will meet again in Washington this week. They are Ramsay MacDonald, the prime minister of Great Britain; Edouard Herriot, the former premier of France, and Dr. Hans Luther, the present German Ambassador at Wash- ington. In London, in the Summer of 1924, they met to discuss and finally adopt | the Dawes reparations plan, which at that time was believed to have un- raveled the whole German reparation question. After nine years of politica. and economic confusion they meet again in Washington to discuss with President Roosevelt the possibility of a “new deal” for Europe and the rest of the world. The coming into office in 1924 of Herriot and MacDonald, who both superseded in their respective countries narrow minded, ultra reactionary gov- ernments, was a sensation at that time. MacDonald, who only a few years earlier had been branded by some of his countrymen as a pernicious pacifist, surpris®y the world by sweeping the Conservative party out of office and becoming Great Britain's first Labor prime minister. We hoped that in his new position he would be able to put into effect the humanitarian ideas he had been preaching as a member of | Parliament. A few months after MacDonald took over the helm of the British ship of state, in France, Herriot, a mere mayor of Lyons, defeated the all-powerful wartime French President Raymond Poincare, and built up the first post-war Social- ist cabinet. At that time France was pointed out to the world as the most inexorable militartistic country in the world. The French, in deflance of the rest of the world, had sent troops into the Ruhr and were in possession of that important industrial province of Germany. Started Rapproachment. Dr. Luther was sent by the chancel- Jor of the republic, Dr. Mark, as spokesman of the Reich at the London conference to discuss with the other powers the adoption of the Dawes plan. An almost impossible task at that time, it was thought. On his way to London he stopped to shake hands with the new French prime minister and discuss not only economic but also political co-operation. Her- riot received him cordially. He as- sured him he would do his best to bring about the liquidation of the debt problem, but when Dr. Luther men- tioned a political rapproachment, Her- riot expressed the true feelings of France toward Germany, a feeling which exists today as it existed then: “We are afraid of you, my dear col- league,” stated the new French pre- mier. In this way he warned Germany that the problem of reconciliation be- tween the two neighboring republics was a psychological factor and it de- pended on Germany to offset this in- herent fear of the French people. But Herriot and MacDonald did their best to help what, at that time, was believed to be the solution of the reparations problem. The Dawes plan was accepted in spite of the tre- mendous opposition of a reactionary French Senate. But Herriot went one step further. He decided to abandon the Ruhr and ordered the French Army to evacuate within a year that Ger- man province. Remained Men of Peace. Ever since MacDonald and Herriot have worked for the stabilization of Europe. They met with little success. Twice they were forced out of office by their lectorate, but both remained the protagonists of the idea of peace and reconciliation. Every time an im- portant international problem came to the fore the two men were together to support its solution in & friendly spirit. Last Summer, when it was thought the time was ript for practically an- nulling the German reparations, they got together again and achieved what was believed by many to be impossible. The Lausanne agreement was prin- cipally the work of Ramsay MacDonald end Edouard Herriot. Both statesmen have been failures so far in their interior politics. MacDon- ald now is & man without a party and Herriot is handicapped by the shiftless- ness of the French political party life. But both of them enjoy the respect, if not the full support, of their country- men as far as their ideas on foreign af- fairs is concerned. They are coming to Washington, the same old team, in the hope of enlisting a more effective co-operation of the United States in world affairs, a co- operation which they believe so essen- tial that without it they do not think their work can be brought to a success- ful conclusion.

LUMP SUM PLAN Ex-Premier to Lay Ground- work at Parleys f_or Eventual Proposal. (Contipued From First Page.) invitations and replies passing between the White House and the British and French governments and officials here | have emphasized that general economic problems will be discussed with both | Herriot and Prime Minister Ramsay | MacDonald of Great Britain. | The American attitude is that the war debts figure only incidentally in the economic picture. M‘bONALD FIXES PROGRAM. Parleys Arranged With Herriot and| Bennett Here. S. 8. BERENGARIA, EN ROUTE TO THE UNITED STATES, April 17 (#).— Premier MacDonald of Great Britain, crossing the Atlantic to engage in con- ferences with President Roosevelt, will | meet former Premier Herriot of France | in Washington on April 24. A meeting also_has been arranged between Mr. MacDonald _and Premier Bennett of | Canada at Washington. Mr. MacDonald will address the pil- grims dinner in New York April 26, before embarking that night on_the Berengaria for the return trip to Eng- land. A heavy provisional program for the premier’s meeting with the President is being arranged by wireless. The present plans include & number of private dinners at the White House, | a luncheon at the Canadian legation | and a Sunday boating trip with the President on the Potomac River. To save time, Mr. MacDonald will dis- embark at quarantine and go to a Bal- timore & Ohio Railroad station in New Jersey for a direct trip to Washington. Experts May Stay Here. ‘The British experts with the premier may stay behind in Washington after his’ departure if the State Department thinks it necessary. At London advocates of empire de- velopment are awaiting the meeting of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. MacDonald to note possible effects on the Ottawa agreements, the new economic anchor | of British imperialism. The British prime minister intends to make no agreements and sign no pacts at the White House fireside, but will discuss the broad aspects of economic and political policy. One of the most important of these subjects will be the general problem of tariffs as barriers to world trade. There is no likelihood that Britain’s spokesmen will pledge this country to return to its forsaken historic position of a free-trade nation. On the question of high-tariff policy. however, or regarding a low-tariff policy, Mr. Macdonald has his govern- ment’s authority to declare in favor of | low tariffs. He is expected to tell| President Roosevelt to go as far as he likes or as far as he can with Congress about tariffs, A score of nations have been brought to Great Britain's doorstep to negotiate for trade agreements. Efforts over a period of three months | have resulted in pacts with Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany, but so far failure has marked protracted negotiations with Britain’s important Latin American customer, Argentina, SOONG SAILS TOMORROW. SHANGHAI, April 17 (®—T. V. Soong, minister of finance, who will serve as China’s spokesman at President Roosevelt’s _econamic _discussions _in EISEMAN’S SEVENTH AND F SPRING SUITS Rides Elevated Home After Thieves Steal His Clothes By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 17—Ernest Luehr, 19, had one of those “the moment that seems like a year” decisions to make today when he had to choose between standing out in the cold drizzle or boarding an elevated train with only his underclothes for wearing apparel. He got right on the train, despite giggles from passengers. Just before the train pulled in Luehr, son of a retired minister, told police he was seized by two colored men and stripped of hat, overcoat, suit and shoes. A passenger on the train loaned him an overcoat and at the sta- tion, where he got off two police- men met him in an automobile and drove him home. Washington, said today that he was going to the United States “with the | blessing of all Chinese leaders. ‘With his party of 10 assistants, in- cluding one woman, Dr. Soong will sail tomorrow aboard the President Jeffer- son. “I much regret that I shall probably miss Prime Minister MacDonald,” he said, “but I am looking forward to hav- ing talks with Sir Ronald Lindsay (the British Ambassador at Washington). | “I am going with the blessing of | all Chinese leaders, and I am carrying | no brief, my object being to see China | in a new perspective through the eyes | of foreign statesmen.” Dr. Soong announced that he would make his visit to the United States as brief as possible. He plans to return to China as soon as the Washington conversations have been concluded. The proposal that he attend the World Economic Conference to be held in London this Summer has been aban- doned because of the pressure of do- mestic financial affairs. He will arrive in Seattle May 2, and then will proceed by air to Washington. In addition to being China’s finance minister, Dr. Soong is vice chairman of the executive Yuan (council). He carried the title of acting premier dur- | ing the recent absence in Europe of Wang Ching-Wei, chairman of the ex- ecutive Yuan, but since the return of | Wang his_duties have been confined | more closely to finance. PRISONER TRIES DEATH Jack White, 28, colored, 700 block of M street, attempted to hang himself in a second precinct cell yesterday, ac- cording to police. Deprived of his collar and belt when searched at the station, White used his coat to hang himself from the bars of his cell door, the police said. He was found by Policeman S. H. Hartung, who sent him to Gallinger Hospital, where his condition was termed not serfous. He had been arrested by ‘Traffic Policeman H. D. Thomas. Sir Henry Dale in U. 8.

MOSES (Former Senator from New Hamp- shire; authority on international affairs.) An invitation to the Washington conversations preliminaryto the London Conference has gone to Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico, and, of course, 1t has been accepted. ‘The first three of these nations have had an earlier experience of conferences within the United States, for it was in 1913 that the so-called A. B. C. Conference met at Niagara Falls in an effort to compose the troubles which then vexed Mexico. That conference was inconclusive. President Wilson continued to refuse to nco]gnxu the government of Gen. Adolfo de la Huerta, the Tampico in- cident followed. Then came the taking of Vera Cruz—from which Ambassador Josephus Daniels, who was Secretary of the Navy when our sallors went ashore in Mexico, is undergoing some belated and probably diluted embarrassment. Prearrangements Possible. This time, however, the Latin Amer- icans are coming as singletons, and it i1s probable that some prearrangement may be arrived at which will enable the Cisatlantic nations to present & united opinion at least on some of the problems which will engress attention at_London. For instance, there is further signifi- cance in the fact that Canada has been rated among the powers meriting a con- versation, a precedent with the Amer- ican President. Canada came into na- tional self-consciousness at the time of the Versailles Conference, when “the self-governing dominions” of the British Empire were first advanced for full membership in the League of N s propossl wil be remembered Pro Wi rems a: having furnished sn admirable ful- crum for the leverage which the ir- reconcilables in the United States Senate exerted for the overthrow of the Ver- sailles pact. Since then Canada has | consolidated its position in the empire, perhaps to a greater degree than any other member of the imperial body potitic. The recent Interdominion Conference at Ottawa is a case in point. No com- mentator upon Washington affairs has failed to note the high place taken im- mediately by the Ministers whom the dominion has sent here, Vincent Mas- sey and Maj. Willlam D. Herridge. Can- ada clearly is entitled to the entree whenever subjects of Pan-American or even world-wide interests are discussed. Silver Intriguing Issue. Much more is this so just now, if one adds the fact that silver, in its valued ratio and also in its possible enlarged use as a monetary medéum, will doubtless bulk large in the London sessions. The silver question has a | wide intrigue for Canada, Mexico and the United States, all being silver-pro- ducing and silver-using peoples. ‘The pressure for inflation, in and out | force among those who shy away from the printing press as a means of sup- plying more money, but who find in silver a suitable argument for an en- larged metallic base for our currency. The 68 nations planning to send delegates to London will embrace thosz which President Hoover was minded at one time to segregate into a gold bloc and a silver bloc as a first step toward restoring the stability of ex- change which world commerce has so | sorely lacked in the last 15 years. Under these circumstances, therefore, | Canada, with its gold standard and its 4 silver leanings, should be of large value | in shaping discussion and in producing | ts. (Copyright. 1933.) CAPT.

(This is the fifth of a series on the hopes and ezpectations of ‘the na- invited to participate in President Roosevelt’s conferences in Washington on world problems.) (Copyright, 1933, by the Associated Press.) ROME, April 17.—The appointment of Finance Minister Guido Jung to represent Italy in the preliminary world economic conference in Wash- ington was regarded today in business circles as an indicator foreshadowing Italy’s ideas at the conference. ‘Signor Jung is not only & banker of international experience, but an inter- national commerce expert. He headed the National Export Institute from 1927 until last year. Business men say this means he not only will be in a position to discuss debts, but also 3 international trade agreements, tariffs and monetary accords. ‘Will Impress Treaty Stand. Signor Jung will be called upon to interpret the new Italian attitude that the most favored nation treaties must be replaced by individual negotiations among nations. Alberto Asquini, undersecretary of corporations, recently stated in the Senate: “The most favored naticn understandings must be revised to di- vide benefits more justly.” He said there was too much one-sided profiting from the agreements and argued that the nation could not sell without also buying. ‘That Signor Jung will go to Wash- ington with full bargaining powers is seen in this similar statement by Min- ister of Agriculture Baron Acerbo to the Benate: “The present situation was adroitly foreseen by the Fascist govern- ment when it stipulated that the new conventions of last year permit us be- fore Summer to denounce existing S.
