By the Associated Press. > BOSTON, June 28.—John Nelson, at one time editor or publisher of several Jeading Canadian newspapers, was to- day unanimously elected president of Rotary International. Nelson, one of the founders of the Institute of Pacific Khfiom and an honorary secretary of e Canadian Institute of International airs, served as third vice president or the years 1931-2. Delegates from Rotary clubs the world over turned today to considera- sion of a new world order of things. Nearly 3,000 delegates to the Twenty- turt.h Annual Convention of Rotary In- rnational listened to speakers from other lands discuss the problems of the new day from as many aspects. “In the world of tomorrow,” they were told by Walter D. Head, headmas- ter of the Montclair Academy of Mont- | peas clair, N. J., “we look confidently for- ward to a rising level of human intel- ligence.” Frank Milner of Oamaru, New Zea-'| land, saw in the new world order an opportunity for Rotary to rise to its “wosld responsibilities.” William de Cock Buning of The Hague, Netherlands, said: “We did not mean a new economic system; nor did ‘we mean .a political system as Com- munish, Socialism, Fascism or other “isms,’ mov autocracy, mechanization. or any other more or less ingenious plan. * * * This is what we mean by the pew world order; it is the new spirit, the change in the conditions of life, in international relations, it is the new stage in man’s evolution, which brings us one step nearer to our ideal—univer- sal co-operation and peace.” s Dies in Plane Crash.

Felt Allied Blockade. The year 1918, which the State De- partment correspondence covered, began with the central powers feeling more and more the pinch of the allied block- ade. The complete force of America’s men and millions had yet to be thrown into the fray. The outlook in Berlin and Vienna was bleak. On January 8 President Wilson outlined his famous 14 points. A fortnight later Chancellor Hertling told the German Reichstag that he could agree upon all but those points having to do with colonies, evacuation from occupied territories and the creation of a free Poland. Simultaneously, Chancellcr Czernin told the Austro-Hungarian Parliament he found in the Wilson attitude a “close approach to the Austro-Hungarian point of view.” But behind these formal expressions and surface manifestations there was Il THE EVENING STAR.

C, WEDNESDAY, Reunion Aboar(_l Amberjack II developing a constant effort to discuss peace, which on the part of Austria- Hungary eventually took on a frantic tone. ¢ Vienna Willing for Peace. The Vienna government was willing, even anxious, to make a separate peace, and on one occasion was encouraged by an informal offer of American financial assistance sheuld she break with Ger- many. Franz Josef was dead. The Emperor Charles had succeeded to the throne. He foresaw the approaching disintegra- tion of his empire. His people were war weary. Peace, constitutional con- cessions to his subjects, and the end of the alliance with Germany was his aim. He forced Czernin, ardently Prussian, to adopt his conciliatory tone and meanwhile a trusted adviser, Prof. Lammasch of Vienna, was seeking these objectives in informal negotiations in Switzerland. Later, the Austrian government util- ized the good offices of the Spanish and Swedish sovereigns to dispatch notes to President Wilson asking a confer- ence for the discussion of his peace terms. ‘Wilson's reply was that his peace points had been made sufficiently clear in his speeches to Congress. When the Teutonic powers were ready to agree with them then there could be ce. Meanwhile, as early as January 4, Grant-Smith, the American charge in Denmark, told the State Department that “a Teutonic peace offensive is i making itself felt on every hand.” Correspondence of the period is filled with similar references. On February 19, Vice Consul McNally, at Zurich, Switzerland, cabled Secre- tarv Lansing: “The German offensive is being held back by the influence of the Kaiser who urges that the terrible slaughter which must follow should be withheld as he is certain that Lloyd George, the only person now preventing peace, ing the reunion. BY P. D. RUST, JR., Pinch Hitting for James Roosevelt. ON BOARD AMBERJACK II, June 28.—Here we are still enjoying our- selves, but hoping more than ever that the big gray blanket Jimmy covered us with when he left will lift. So I am still pinch hitting for Jimmy. Sunday night we certainly had a real meal and I guess for the first time there was almost enough for Pranklin and John, about five pounds of steak and fried onions, mashed potatoes, spinach and coffee, were quickly disposed of. After that Pranklin, John and Drexel Paul went over to the U. S. 8. Ellis and enjoyed a movie for a few hours, while George Briggs and I stayed aboard the Amberjack with the skip- per. Shortly before midnight the boys returned and we all turned in. At 6:30 soon will be deposed. The pan-Germans are exceedingly incensed and have in- formed him that the offensive will not be withheld later than very early March.” Again, on February 28, Minister Mor- ris cabled from Stockholm that an un- official representative of Germany had told him “that the contemplated great offensive on the Western front was be- ing held in abeyance to see what result would be obtained from this speech of Hertling’s affirming that the German govefnment accepted in principle” a second enunciation of peace terms in which President Wilson had reduced his 14 points to four points of principle. No Agreement Reached. But no agreement could be reached. | The German offensive of the Spring of | 1918 was launched, with resulting tre- | mendous casualty lists, and severe set- | backs for the allied forces. Eventually, however, it was halted and the allied drive of the Summer, which led ultimately to victory in the Fall, was begun. The offer of financial aid to Austria in the event of a separate peace was swurrounded by the greatest secrecy. It was put into written form only in a ciphered message to the legation in Switzerland with instructions that it be decoded only by Hugh Wilson, then charge d'affaires and acting head of the mission. “Concerning the possible need of Austria to obtain financial aid after the war under certain conditions I think that it would be wise at this time to convey secretely, unofficially and orally to Lammasch or his agent, that, in the event of Austria being deprived of Ger- man financial support through acting contrary to the wishes of the German government in independently arranging a cessation of hostilities and negotia- tions for peace at the present time, person conveying information has strong impression amounting to conviction | that government of the United States will exert its influence to the end that financial assistance may be obtained in the United States as nearly as possible to the extent that Germany would have furnished it if there had been no breach in_their relations “As 1o the most expedient channel to convey this secret and unofficial in- formation to Lammasch, I rely wholly upon your discretion, though I think it would be unwise to employ Herron (an American historian then in Swi zerland who had previously taken part in unofficial discussions with the Aus- trians), whose relationship with Lam- masch should in no way be embarrassed of even the most unofficial message. * * * Please act promptly and discreetly in this matter and report fully.” The message was signed by Secretary Lansing, and dated February 15.

It is too bad John Cutter wasn't here. The stove was still going when the cook got up and, with a little shaking and a bit more draught, we had a roaring fire. You know, we have been giving John quite a kidding about the stove. We told him he didn’t know how to work a really good one. Something a little different for John Roosevelt and me yesterday morning. Lieut. Blue from the Ellis was sent to Jonesport, & dis- tance of about 5 miles, in one of the small boats, for the skipper's and Am- bassador Davis’ mall.

On our return, much to Johnny's chagrin, we found that the skipper and crew of the Amberjack had partaken of a very fancy meal, consisting of scalloped salmon, tomatoes and excellent home- made butter. The butter was pre- sented by Mrs. Bione Mansfield. the owner of a large dairy farm in Jones- rt. Word from Jimmy, on board the Bernadou, leads us to believe that we shall not only be on deck to greet him and our fine cook, John Cutter, again, but that we shall have the pleasure of welcoming Ambassador Davis aboard the Amberjack for dinner.

(Copyright, 1933.) | PRESIDENT MAY DIRECT CONTROL Roosevelt Expected to Bring Harmony in Industrial Program. BY MARK SULLIVAN. In getting the Government mecha- nism for control of industry under way, frictions have arisen. The prompt pub- lic disavowal of them is genuine enough, for most of them have act- ually been smoothed out for the time being. The opportunity for disagree- ment continues to exist because of un- certainty about the relations between the indfvidual administsator, retired Army Gen. Hugh Johnson, and the Industrial Recovery Board, composed mainly of cabinet members. In setting up the two authorities, President Roose- velt seemed to give equal authority to each. What will probably happen is that so soon as President Roosevelt re- turns to Washington he will assume the whole responsibility and that Gen. Johnson will be responsible to him. The only experience the country has had in this field, the war-time one, and sound administrative principles, all suggest that this kind of authority be vested not in a board but in an individual. Among the members of the Cabinet Committee for Industrial Control are two groups. To one of the groups is at- tributed, whether justly or not, a philos- ophy which would make fundamental and permanent changes in the Amer- ican social system. That this reputa- tion, whether fair or not, would impair their prestige in exercising control over ;;x]‘l American industry goes without say- g. Political Status. ‘The other group of members within the Cabinet Committee includes men whose status in life is largely political in the sense that they are and have been active in organized politics. To a considerable extent, politics has been their careers. That a background of politics constitutes a handicap for the function of controlling the country’s industries goes without saying. It is certain that from the start r&eu will be pleas by local industries and by individuals “for immunities from the many rules that must be set up. Persons or corparations seeking special consideration are sure to go to their Congressmen, and Congressmen are sure to go in the usual way to the cabinet members with whom this sort of political contact is the familiar way of getting things done or not done. Moreover, any one active in politics would be under suspicion of seeing in this situation the opportunity of put- ting individuals and businesses unaer obligations to be repaid later on in the form of favor to the party in power. In short, political control of this vast movement for industrial recovery, or even the faintest and least justified suspicion of political control, would be fatal. From all this sort of thing the bluff Gen. Johnson is utterly free. He asks no political favors, gives none, is not | in politics, never was in politics, has disdain for the methods of politics. Neither has he any theories for reor- ganizing society. All he has in mind is a giant step for this emergency sim- ilar to organization for recovery from a Mississippi flood. That the business men of the country should have this type of man to deal with and rely on is indispensable to the spirit and the practical working of the organization for recovery. Public Opinion Guide. The movement really hangs by a quite slender thread. Its success as a whole and in detail depends funda- mentally on public opinion, and many of the steps about to be taken make large drafts on public tolerance of dras- tic departures. One formidable section of opinion, in Congress and out, es- pecially strong in the Democratic party, has distaste for the measure because of its suspension of the anti-trust laws. sAnother section dislikes it for its subjec- tion of industry to Government control. If the bill, instead of being initiated in April, had waited until today, it would hardly have been started and almost certainly would not have passed the Senate. All that made the early momentum of the measure possible was the degree of depression existing at that time. That at once frightened Democrats into ac- cepting suspension of the anti-trust laws and frightened heads of industry into acceptance of regulation. The re- covery in business that has so far taken place has modified the moods of both groups. Potential distaste for the measure will increase as increasing; prosperity brings diminution of the; need for it. One of the most powerful Progressives in the Senate, sympathetic with the Democratic administration, seriously believes that in the Congres- sional elections of 1934 the Democrats will be menaced by the uprising of a public opinion, then normal and con- fident, against the suspension of the anti-trust laws. ‘The sum of all is that the whole movement could readily be wrecked by even a slight fault in administration. It could be wrecked by outcry against suspension of the anti-trust laws or by resistance of industries to the dis- cipline upon willing submission to which the movement depends. For suc- cess there is one certain model. Dur- ing the war, authority over industry! was vested in one man, Bernard M., Baruch. Mr. Baruch had the complete confidence and backing of President Wilson. That formula, plus Mr. Ba- ruch’s wisdom in choosing his lieuten- ants, made success. One of the prin- cipal lieutenants was Gen. Johnson. From that experience, the general knows how to do it.

This is the way the argument sums up over minimum wages and hours of work in the cotton textile code now being studied Manufacturers propose a mini- mum $10 wage in the South and $11 in the North for a 40- hour week. President William Green of the American Federation of Labor suggests even $14.40 is too jow, wants a 32-hour week and says 30 hours would be even better. Hugh S. Johnson, industrial administrator, conceding elasti- city. was necessary, said before the hearing started that an average of 32 hours at 45 cents an hour—$1440 a week—"for the lowest type of paid workers would do the job.” PRODUCTION GOST PUZZLES LEADERS for Principal Lines Be- lieved Impending. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 28.—How should'p cost of production be determined? This is the question uppermost in the minds of financial leaders as a result of | the blunt warning from the Federal ad- ministrators of the recovery campaign | that products are not to be sold below production costs. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, director of national recovery, recently discussed this point in language that the financial dis- Price increases would be controlled, he said, but only “so that prices will not move up one bit faster than is justified by higher costs. This does not mean selling below cost.” Students of the situation hold that this probably means that some uniform accounting system for principal lines of industry is in the offing. In the case of railroads and utilities, accounting methods are pretty well standardized. The railroads, particu- larly, are required by Interstate Com- merce Commission dicta to follow rigid rules, exhaustive in scope, in reporting operations. It is admitted, however, that com- parison of the income accounts or bal- ance sheets of one industrial corpora- tion with another is difficult. because corporation accounting is many umes a matter of individual judgment. Accounting experts explain that such variations in bookkeeping methods—all of which may be inherently honest—in- evitably result in equally wide produc- tion cost figures. ‘Whether the normally low-cost pro- ducers of an industry are to be allowed the full advantages that their position would indicate has not yet been made clear. Advices from Washington thus far tend to bear out the belief that uniform or fixed prices have been ruled | out of consideration. JURIST IN PHILIPPINES TERDERS RESIGNATION James A.

Johnson issued the following state- ment: “Tt is the purpose of the national re- covery act to put people back to work promptly. Everybody wants that. It will succeed if the whole country gets behind it. Confidence is the basis of public support. Dissension in an ad- ministration weakens public confidence in it. Conjectural stories based on gos: sip and giving erroneous impressions of hindrance and trouble in this great urpose are directly against the public interest and have an unfortunate effect, the extent of which cannot be guaged. “Nobody needs to conjecture about the Recovery Administration. It has never side-stepped nor dodged a single question about its conduct. “Our cabinet Board of Directors was | requested by the administrator. It rep- resents the cohesion and co-ordination of this whole Government behind this work. This is the only- way it can succeed. In a rather intense and varied experience with both governmental and industrial organizations I have never | seen better teamwork nor more un- selfish, zealous and able support. Logical Place for Administration. “The location of the administration in the Department of Commerce was requested as the act was being pared. There is no more logical place and a tentative project to move was one of two alternatives to accommo- date a rapid expansion and was changed because much better space was found. The relationship with the | sought by Secretary of Commerce was me long before the act was passed and in no small part on a personal basis quite apart from office. I have known him for years as one ef our wisest. He brings a counsei and bal- ance which 'e}g!lfly need.
