MONETARY TOPICS MAY BE DROPPED AT PARLEY; ROOSEVELT SE Bonnet | in Effort to End Session. STABILIZATION STILL HELD AIM Scores U. S. PolicyA to Allow Money to Fluctuate, By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 21 —Prime Min- ister Ramsay MacDonald and oth- er leaders of the World Economic Conference were understood this afternoon to be considering the radical step of suspending discus- sion of all monetary matters and dealing only with economic prob- lems in order to prevent the pos- sible wrecking of the conference over the currency stabilization imbroglio. Gold standard countries were still talking about forcing ad- journment of the conference pending stabilization of the Amer- ican dollar and other major cur- rencies. Conference leaders late in the day were canvassing the possi- ! bility of a satisfactory compro- mise being effected by a tem- porary abandonment of monetary | affairs. Central European Bloc. ‘There was another startling develop- | ment today. The conference awoke 10| the fact that the recently disclosed scheme for the creation of a central European economic bloc, which would | have far-reaching effect on interna-| tional affairs, had taken on amazing vigor and was growing apace at the| portals of the conference. This block, which would comprise the Little Entente—Czschoslovakia, Yugo- slavia and Rumania—and Austria and Hungary, is dependent on a rapproche- | ment between Italy and France. Con- ference circles began to buzz with a re- port that Premicr Mussolini was push- ing hard to force a successful con- clusion to the negotial It was learned that isters of the little entente—Edouard Benes of Czechoslovakia, Nicholas Titu- lesou of Rumania and Bosko Jeftitch of ° Yugoslavia—met privately yesterday to discuss Franco-Italian rapprochement. After the meeting, Jeftitch rushed to Paris for a conference with Premier Edouard Daladier and Foreign Minister Joseph Paul-Boncour. The Czechoslo- vakian minister, it is understood, is go- ing to Paris tomorrow for the same purpose, and it is further reported that 2 meeting between Premiers Mussolini and Daladier is quite probable. Bonnet Weakens. ‘What was taken by many delegates to be an indication of weakening in the gold bloc drive for adjournment pending stabilization of the American dollar came dramatically in an impassioned speech by Finance Minister Georges Bonnet of France just before this morn- ing’s session was adjourned. The forceful French minister took the floor in the Subcommittee on Temporary Monetary Affairs and, while again de- 'manding stabilization, pledged “France's full aid toward the success of the con- ference.” M. Bonnet's speech, in which he paint- ed a picture of the dangers of infla tion and currency depreciation with a broad brush, was one of his most elo- quent efforts in the conference. He put his whole driving force into the address and held the closest attention of the other members of the committee. ‘Wants Concrete Action. “We demand concrete decisions and not simple signatures at the bottom of papers. which the wind will immedi- ately carry away.” he declared. “To arrive at this end we bring you our entire aid.” ¥ Later he emphasized this with: vepeat that the FPrench delegation brings here France's full aid to the success of the conference.” The French finance minister assert- ed that the conference would be a total failure unless it marked progress toward political, economic and financial secu- rity. He asked: “How are you going to conceive a Jasting upturn in business without. first, political security: second, economic se- curity and reorganization of production, ard, third, financial security, which as- sures the stability of money as the com- mon measure of exchange? “We believe these are fundamental points, and if the World Economic Con- ference does not mark progress in these the conference's failure will be another point he sald: “Large v ictuations not only imperil ” (Continued on Page 4.

BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER AND NEGLEY FARSON. | By Cable to The Star. | _ LONDON, England, June 21.—The ‘World Monetary and Economic Confer- ence here today is in full crisis. Exas- peration at the American refusal of even temporary stabilization of the dol- lar is general. Most of the delegations agree that in these circumstances there is nothing much to be done here. British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, in his usual daily meeting with the heads of committees, urged that the conference | nevertheless should continue to discuss its program point by point, but the Dutchman, Hendryk Colijn, thought that the problems should be dealt with as they arose; that is to say, the tem- porary stabilization problem should na:v be admitted to dominate all the others. Regards Plan Useless. Georges Bonnet, French finance min- ister and rapporteur of the Monetary Commission, speaking today in com- mittee, said that even the plan of Brit- ish Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain for raising prices by con- certed open market operations of the central banks would be vain unless it were preceded by stabilization. 1t is slowly being realized that as long as Washington considers that stabiliza- tion might interfere with rising prices | and President Roosevelt's domestic pro- gram, the United States will refuse it, whatever the rest of the world may think or do. But a good many econ- omists seem to consider that President Roosevelt could agree to temporary | stabilization and, at the same time, con- 1:lmue his domestic program of infla- on. Thus, in some quarters, even Amer- ican quarters, it is felt that the United States may yet agree to the bankers’ plan. The situation will be clarified in | this respect, it is said, after the arrival | here of Prof. Raymond Moley, Assistant | Secretary of State. Alternatives Considered. ES HOUSE 3 'Events Abroad Discussed on Boat. 'STRATEGY SEEN BEING PLANNED Significance Given to Visit of Wilson Adviser. LONDON, June 21 (#.—The American delegation to the World Economic Conference re- ceived fresh instructions from President Roosevelt this after- noon, it was authoritatively learned. The nature of these instructions was not divulged. By the Associated Press. GLOUCESTER, Mass., June 21.— On the rolling waves of this sea- town harbor, President Roosevelt interrupted his vacation cruise for a couple of hours this morning to discuss both international and domestic affairs before proceeding on up the coast. Col. Edward M. House, intimate adviser of President Wilson on foreign problems, boarded the Amberjack II just after Mr. Roose- velt had arisen from a late sleep, making up for yesterday’s long haul from Nantucket which ended here just before midnight. Lewis M. Douglas, director of the buaget, scrambled aboard a little later to talk over veterans’ compensation allowances. Stephen T. Early, a secretary, boarded the Amberjack II about 10 o’clock with latest reports from the outside world picked up by the busy wireless on the destroyer Ellis. Both Col. House and Director Douglas were vacationing in these parts and Mr. Roosevelt took advantage of the morning rest to talk business with these men. Undoubtedly the 'ms of the London Economic Conference received attention with Col. House. Intent upon liberalizing the strict economy regula- tions first imposed upon veterans, the President and Mr. Douglas talked over ways of doing it and keeping the budget balanced. The three—Roosevelt, House and Douglas—sat in the cockpit on the Am- berjack stern in full view of the cir- cling craft carrying fishermen and folks of Gloucester. STRATEGY ANTICIPATED parture of Moley for London. By the Associated Press. Capital observers following the inter- national muddle over currency stabili- zation expect an early revelation of strategy back of the American admin- istration’s moves. The airplane dash of Assistant Secretary Moley to President Roose- velt’s schooner for last-minute instruc- ! tions, before today’s sailing for the London conference, was generally taken Meanwhile, various alternatives are being considered in private talks, in | case President Roosevelt finally re- fuses stabilization.

PEIPING, June 21 (P).—The com- mandant of the Japanese legation guard here protested to Chinese military leaders today against an alleged attack by Chinese gendarmes on Japanese soldiers. Col. Thara, the commandant, said several Chinese policemen had fired on the Japanese from a street car. The Chinese version is that two shots were fired at random by Chinese soldiers and that no Japanese were in sight at the | time Both sides agreed there were no casualties.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, June 21.— President Roosevelt ordered the sails hoisted shortly after 11 o'clock today to resume his cruise northward, heading near Portsmouth, | for Little Harbor, N. H.,, for the night. Before leaving Gloucester, President Roosevelt was presented by Cspt. Ben Pine of the famous racing schooner, Gertrude L. Thebaud, with an oil paint- ing of that vessel. “I think the painting is particularly lovely,” said the President, “andI will hang it in my study in the White House.” Looking across the water at the The- baud, which a few weeks ago: carried Pine and s crew otfldanpmnpi the Potomac to seek Federal aid for the | fisheries. the President exclaimed: | “Isn't she a grand vessel!” Artist Presented.

Made Bold Dash. It was a bold dash but he and his crew were well acquainted with this heavy traffiked part of the Atlantic. They guided the Amberjack II on a true course across the billowing waves into the circle of lights of the North Shore | and with navigator's sense picked out this harbor. The accompanying destroyers and | power boats plowed cautiously zlong in | the rear and trusted almost eniirely to | the judgment of the commander-in- | chief. | Leaving the accompanying craft be- | hind, he darted behind the breskwaters | of Gloucester just before midnight, | swung sharply about, lighted an-anchor- age light which showed all sails up and dropped anchor. Showed Way Into Port. It can be said quite frankly from one | on the bridge of a trailing power boat with veteran seamen that Mr. Roose- | velt's schooner showed the way at mid- night into this port. There were overhanging clouds and increasing | wavps. Spray dashed high. Crews weré called out to watch and they set- | tled down to trying to pick out the | occasionally visible sails of the Amber- jack. Only now and then when the | craft drew near did the Presidentjal schooner flash its light aloft to warn of her position. The two accompanying destroyers with their wireless are keeping right up to the minute on developments. Stephen T. Early, a secretary to the President, is aboard the destreyer Ellis | and in constant touch with outside af-| fairs. However, only the most urgent | of these are getting the attention of | America’s sea-going President on his first, vacation. The “poor newspapermen” had a big day of it. But the sea was smooth and | in contrast to yesterday. They almost got left on a dash into Provincetown, | Mass., to file copy, but the word was passed just in time for a quick overhaul | of the presidential fleet outside Boston. —e- DANZIG FETES NAZIS FREE CITY OF DANZIG, June 21 (®).—A new Senate, with Hermann Rauschning, a Nazi, as presicent, was inducted into office today to govern this 1{9: city of more than 400,006 popula- tion. | The significance of Rauschning’s con- | firmation by the Volkstag yesterday was emphasized by demonstations, in which hundreds of citizens joined in a Nazi celebration of Danzig union with the big movement of the New Germany, which is unbound by artificial borders. | Nazi addresses at rtheflnzs ast night | stressed a pledge of loyalty to Chancellor | tler of Germany, 4 So Hot in Chicago Grave Catches Fire; Mercury Hits 98 By the Associated Press.

It really was not soil, but the next thing to peat. In Ireland often there are bog fires, where peat gets overheated from the sun, and this was the same thing.” Officially it was 98 at the time, but it was hotter than that in the cemetery.

By the Associated Press | CHICAGO, June 21.—Secretary of | Agriculture Henry A. Wallace told the iMfl]!rs‘ National Federation today it I‘ was conceivable that the United States ;mlght “resort to dumping” its wheat | surplus on the world market if other | wheat-producing nations “do not see the | light.” The Secretary discussed the problem | of reduction of wheat acreage before | the annual convention of the federation, lwhflch represents cent of the | milling trade of the United States. “You know,” the Secretary said, “that if the hot weather in the Dakotas and Montana continues, in addition to the loss of much of the Winter wheat crop in the Southwest, it is probable that we will have the smallest total wheat crop in a generation this year, and | many of you will ask, ‘Why worry NEW YORK, June 21.—The case of about a surplus?’ Three-Year Reduction. “The problem is deeper than that, who is charged with defrauding the however—we still have our 350,000,000~ | Government of more than $850,000 in | Turning to more serious matters, Mr. | income taxes, was given to a Federal| court jury today. At 11:25 a.m., Eastern Standard time, the court’s charge was concluded and the case, which has been on trial since May 11. was turned over to the 12 men, who will decide whether Mitchell is guilty of having evaded tax pay- ments. The jury includes two engineers, a contractor, an architect and one pub- licity man. The imum prison sentence, should Mitchell be convicted, would be 10 years and the maximum fine $20,000. Federal Judge Henry W. Goddard in his charge first briefly reviewed the charges against Mitcheil that he made fake sales of stock to his wife and W. D. Thornton, mining man, in 1929 and 1930, to record losses so great that he paid no income tax those years and that he wrongfully failed to report, in 1929, receipt of $666,666.67 from a National City Co. management fund. “A reasonable doubt,” Judge God- dard said slowly, explaining the law to the jury, “does not mean reluctance to perform an unpleasant duty.” “Few tax laws are popular,” Judge Goddard said, adding that Congress, in passing the income tax law, “undoubt- edly had in mind that persons of ex- | tensive property should pay propor- tionately.” With regard to the stock sales, the judge pointed out that a sale would not be genuine, even if formal documents were exchanged, if the intention of the participants was not to make it so. Mitchell sat up-right in his chair at the counsel table, watching the judge and listening intently. Two Sets of Inferences. “The Government asks you to draw | one set of inferences, and the defense. another,” Judge Goddard said. “It is for you to decide and you alone. You have the right to determine what the defendant’s intent really was.” Judge Goddard I;roceeded to take up in detail each of the three charges against Mitchell. “The problem for you to decide,” the judge said, “is whether or not that was a bona fide sale. “You cannot convict the defendant " (Continued on Page 2, Column 6.)
