ROOSEVELT AND MACDONALD RESUME THEIR TALKS TODAY (Continued From First Page.) makes it still more important to hold the conference at the earliest possible moment. “Its difficulties may have somewhat increased,” he stated yester- day, “but what are we for but to meet | difficulties ‘whether they are increased or not?” Gold Question Presses. The question of the gold standard is one of the principal dimcuities the ex- perts of both countries are likely to meet. Great Britain is off the yellow metal and for good, unless some tempt- ing propositions are made to her to adopt it again. This was evidenced yesterday in MacDonald’s declarations at the Nation2l Press Club. After de- scribing with his unsurpassed elo- quence the terrible qualms and suffer- ings his country had undergone before being compelled to take that momentous decision he stated “* Can you zlnme u}: l" l:/ehx;ld, ‘Never again, if e can help it shall we go thro the terrible days of that Weesko !de,"'x"l1 And this brings up the very difficult situation which will have to be attacked today by the President and the prime E}:L‘s‘ter.d .:r‘;dmthzt is tlhe question of var_ del general and the Ppayments in particular. une The State Department has been re- peatedly informed by the British gov- ernment that Great Britain cannot consider even a return to a stable cur- rency unless it knows exactly how it stands on the debt question. As long as this matter is not finally settled and Britain is confronted with the heavy payments to the United States, in gold, thfi' must allow the pound to fluctuate and keep their currency low. It is true that the new inflation bill now before the Congress provides that an amount not exceeding $100,000,000 may be paid dn silver at a rate amounting to ng:ut half of the gold value of that sum. But that is only a drop in the bucket, say the debtor nations. A settlement of the debts is necessary for the eco- mnomic situation of the world; and this is the unanimous opinion of the Euro- pean debtors. On the other hand, France appears determined to maintain the gold standard, even if America is permanently off. America abandoning the gold basis does not mean that the debts are re- duced, save for the $100,030,000 pay- able in silver; the balance is payable in gold regardless as to whether America has her currency backed by gold or not. Consequently, say the debtor nations, to continue to pay debts would mean a continual drain of their gold toward thy United States with the further handicap that that gold cannot return to Europe on account of the American gold embargo. Hence, MacDonald’s de- sire to tackle the debt question with the President at the earliest possible ‘moment. As far as the June instalment is con- cerned, the British feel that unless a postponement of these payments is granted them now they will be placed ? the following position: Either to de- ault, and for many reasons, their in- ternational credit being the foremost, they cannot afford to do that, or en- deavor to pay and that would mean either new taxes on the already over- burdened taxpayer, or scrap the Laus- anne agreement which would plunge Europe inevitably into chaos. This question is a grave one, although Secretary of State Hull rightly described it as only an aspect of a of com- plexities which would all be overcome if the principal nations of the world make up their mirds to attack the economic question from a more gen- eral and lofty paint of view, which he believes would unclog the economic machinery and permit the free flow of trade in the world. MacDonald has undoubtedly the will to do so. He has proved it in the past and has proved i+ ip Washington again. But Mac- 1d cannot dispose of the British govetnment and must obey certain di- recizons formulated by his Tory cabinet. In 1929, when the British premier called on President Hoover he had his labor majority in Parliament and a cabinet of his own choice. Today he is the head of a cabinet which belongs to a party with which the British pre- mier has never been much in sympathy, a cabinet which dictates and is not dictated to by its head.

Blue Dan of the Happy Valley Ken- | nels, Philadelphia, a 7-year-old Eng- lish setter, stepped off with first honors | at last night's finale of the National | Capital Kennel Club Show, receiving his ribbon and cup from the hands of Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Dall, the daugh- ter of President and Mrs. Roosevelt. It was an old story to Blue Dan, as he came through to a “best dog of the show” win for the thirty-fifth time. He won this award from the local ken- nel club two years ago, but was not entered last year. The two-day show, proceeds from which will go for the benefit of the Almas Temple of the Mystic Shrine fund for a hospital for crippled chil dren, drew a record-breaking attend- ance of 7,800. In all, 588 dogs com- peted. Mrs. Dall arrived in time to witness the final judging, and was introduced to the dog lovers clustefed about the ring by W. Freeland Kendrick, former mayor of Philadelphia, who is active in Shrine work among underprivileged children. A description of the show by Joseph O'Hare, president of the local kennel club, was put on the air yesterday after- noon by the National Broadcasting Co. Outstanding winners included a Fox- catcher beagle from Bellevue, Del., best sporting hound; a collie belonging to Florence B. Iich of Red Bank, N. J, best working dog; an airdale tetrier of S. M. Stewart, Montclair, N. J., best of the terrier group; a Pomeranian of Mrs. Frank T. Clarke, Sheepshead Bay, N. J., best toy dog, and a Boston terrier of Mrs. E. P. Anders, Easton, Pa., best non-sporting dog. Four dogs of Washington residents won first honors in their breeds, two of | them entered by Col. Wrisley Brown. Col. Brown's Cragwood Seamrog, given him by President and Mrs. Hoover when they left Washington in March, was judged the best Irish wolfhound in the show, and his Guntar Pour Boire was named the best French bulldog. The other local winners were Speaker ot Faircroft, belonging to Mrs. William D. Thomas of Klingle road, best blood- hound, and La Rex Doll Little Boy, of Bertha D. Sabine, Takoma Park, D. C., best toy poodle. A cousin of the Roosevelts, Miss Priscilla St. George of Tuxedo Park, N. J., won first place for cocker spaniels with her Sterling of Ware, a dog which also was designated the second best The group for Boston terriers ‘drew 75 entries, the largest of the show, and the best dog in this breed was Dixie Romance, owned by Mrs. E. P. Anders of Easton, Pa. Other breeds to draw large flelds of entries were English setters, cocker spaniels, wire-haired fox terriers, Scot- tish terriers, Pekingese, bulldogs and chow chows. ‘The entire lower floor of the Wash- ington Auditorium was occupled by the dog show, and the final judging was |good done upstairs before the stage in large assembly hall.

Whitney, is president of the soclety, and its Advisory Committee in- the “In Line With Time-Worn Traditions.” By the Associated Press. NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 22.—Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale, noted economist, today asserted that the attack of four Republican Congressmen on the ad- ministration’s inflation program is “m line with time-worn traditions.” Defending the inflation program, Prof. Fisher stated: “It (inflation) certainly should be used until it works enough and then stopped. It can be stopped, for we shall be stronger, not weaker.” Text of Statement. Prof. Fisher's statement follows: “The protest against the President's reflation program, signed by Senators Reed and Walcott and Representatives Snell and Luce, is-in line with the time- worn _traditions of bankers—though | few bankers today are as loyal to them as these four Congressmen. But ‘we are now confronted with a condi- tion, not a theory.’ This condition 1s the ‘opposite of Germany’s when Ger- man inflation began. “Few realize the gravity of our pres- ent situation. Our very National ex- istence is at stake. Even more than it was in the World War. Halfway, tra- ditional and timid measures will no longer do. If the price levels iS not raised, so that business, in- dustry, and agriculture can be run again at enough of a profit to maxe sure that they are run at all and re- absorb the unemployed, and if that level is not raised enough to enaple debtors to pay their debts and creditors to get their pay, this country will soon be over the precipice with bloodshed and revolution. There is, if my analy- sis of this depression is right, abso- lutely no escape from our present im- g:tnent danger except through reflu- jon. “Nor can we stop to cavil about meth- ods. The situation is too desperate and imperative. The best method is what- ever is the quickest. I, too, dislike to load on the President so much re- sponsibility and power, but the alterna- tive is a debate which will delay ac- tion, when there is no time to lose. We are at war and must. intrust to our commander-in-chief the war-time pow- ers necessary to win this sort of war. “The open-market operations which alone the objectors grudgingly admit might well be used, cannot be ints !I'%ollyh:% :ge‘r!‘bdml Rfurve 8) K ey eir opportunity a year ago, and made insufficient use of it. Present Money “Fiat.” “The paper money which the ob- Jectors fear, is no more ‘fiat’ than what we have, nor as much. Our dollar sil- ver certificates are redeemable in only 25 cents worth of silver. “The objectors fear if the medicine doesn’t work, more will be tried. It certainly should be used until it works , I weaker. We can then balance bud- get. We cannot now. When we reach the price level which does the greatest to the greatest number—not far from thé 1926 level as calculated, we should stabilize as Sweden has. “Almost all other nations have de- valuated their gold coins. No one should care what the dollar weighs if what it buys is properly safeguarded. It now is not 100 cents, but 180ycents in terms of 1926 dollars. Debtors can- not pay 180 cents on the dollar, nor interest.” C. U. Professor to Lecture. Very Rev.

The safest way to proceed along economic recovery is to learn what they think and go exactly in an opposite direction.” Sarcastically, Rainey said the visit at the Capitol of Ogden L. Mills, former Republican Treasury Secretary, to help frame the Republican statement was "“:ry beneficial, and I hope he comes often.” In another off-the-floor statement, Representative Byrns of Tennessee, House majority leader, called the Re- publican attack “un-American.” “This is not the time,” he sald, “to broadcast such statem as this the country when every effort is being made to Yevive confidence and restore prosperity to the masses.” Byrns Predlcud House approval of the inflation proposal, although he said the farm bill would have to go to ccn- ference for adjustment of differences | over other sections. Representative Rankin, flery Missis- sippi Democrat, opened the debate on the Hcuse floor by referring to the Re- publican attackers as “certain alleged leaders of the Republican party.” Melion and Mills Assailed. “They probably were aided and abetted by Andrew W. Mellon and Ogden Mills,"” he said, “the two men most responsible for the deplorable condition of the country today. They should be charac- terized es public enemy number two. They are here lcbbying against the greatest step to aid humanity ever taken | g, by a President in a time cf need.” Replying to Rankin, Snell said he woula “not apologize for anything in the statement,” and would “take full re- sponsibility for it es a member of Con- gress and as a citizen.” “I did invite former Secretary Mills to my office yesterday to discuss the matter,” he said, “and I don’t apologize for that, either. The difference be- tween the Treasury Department now and when Mills was Secretary is that it has all cf the weakenesses it had then, but not one item of the strength Mills brought that department. “The fact is that Mellon and Mills are such outstanding strong individuals you have nobody to put up against them, so you attack them. “I wonder if you have looked up the record cf the present Secretary of of the Treasury (Woodin).

REEN SPRING VALLEY, Md, April 22.—Breaking a streak of bad luck which had gelding cwned by mont of Middleburg, Va., thirty-fourth running of the American Grand National Point to Point here yesterday afternoon.

Yeoman, the 1932 winner of the Grand National, was cne of those which lost a rider, and Soleil D'Oy, with which Howard Bruce had hoped to gain a third leg on the cup his famous Billy Barton won in 1926 and 1927, also came a cropper. For hours before starting time a sclid stream of cars flowed into the elaborate unds of Brooklandwood.

My mail is ot the one to telegraph. Voters ought to telegraph to those who have not de- clared their opposition on this insane scheme.” Reed said his stand found support in un announcement by Willlam Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, that inflation was “an invis- jble method of lowering wages” and that organized labor would seek to raise wages. ?eplymg to Reed, Senator Long, Dem- ocrat, Louisiana, said the “worst thing that could happen to bloated money holders of the country” would be for them to win their fight to defeat infla- tion. “If the big financial interests fore- stall this necessary step it will be the saddest victory they ever won,” Long said. “One more victory like that and there won’t be any big money holders.’ Hayden Offers Amendment, proposed jumped to three yesterday when Senator Hay- den, Democrat, of Arizona, put in one just before the Senate quit to increase the amount :’r‘t silver th: Mdmcd:?ti accept as D: jyment on War in t.hpe next ye:g.trom $100,000,000 to $250.000,000.

As the front runners put fence after fence behind them, as cne horse after another tired or got in wrong and fell, the conviction that Grubstake had only to stand up to win grew stronger in the minds of the crowd. When the final arc was ended and the surviving five turned for the last jump | and the home stretch, the prophecies were fulfilled.
