What’s What Behind News in Capital: Economic Parley to End With a Flourish, But No Deeds. M don Conference They may display it as a grand finale statement from President Roosevelt. Or it may be offered to pub- lic gaze in last-minute resolutions adopted In the conference. The idea is to send the London dele- gates home with a good taste in their mMouths.

The problem is largely political. We cannot aflord to let the world statesmen go home feeling as they do. We must give them a Little soothing sirup. Future hopes must be held out.

EN at the top here are mulling over a little fireworks scheme for the final week of the Lon- Sueam NC.ca The word was passed down the line in the choicest inner circle because all sorts of reports were flying around Wall Street. These reports suggested we might peg the dollar with the pound. Also that stabilization might be offered each country individually. U. S. ituation Comes First. Such things are coming, but not until our domestic situation is on & stable basis. You can bank on that The way we are now starting tariff concession talks with certain foreign nations is & good example of the new strategy we are following interna- tionally. The nations wanted to confer with us. Argentina, Norway and others have asked for conferences. We have made a great display of assenting. The publicity put out by Government press agents indicates agreements are just around the cor- ner. It 1s the same corner Mr. Hoover thought around. prosperity was The underlying truth is that foreign | nations want concessions. We are not in a position to grant them. To do so would interfere with our domestic mcovery program now. Furthermore, Mr. Roosevelt has no power to grant anything. Congress declines to give him the power. No Harm in Conferring. But there is no harm in coaferring. It softens the blow we gave the world when we announced our nationalistic policy at London. Also the results will ultimately be useful. They can be sub- mitted to Congress by Mr. Roosevelt in January. The Congress chew on them for a few months more. By that time, wo may be in a position to do something important about tariffs. Don't hold your breath waiting for that day. € GEn 3 X Jonnsons M::‘T"/:@— A cligue of liberals'started the move to break up Gen. Johnson's highpow- ered publicity machine. They held a dinner recently at the home of & former Washington news- paper man. Among the guests was Ex ward McGrady. He is labor assistant in the Johnson outfit. Publicity is Criticized. The guests (mostly newspaper men) turned on the heat immediately. They spared no words in criticizing the pub- licity work of Gen. Johnson’s machine. Mr. McGrady called Gen. Johnsoy on the telephone and asked him to come over. The guests and the host told the General the same story. He broke down and confessed he was mnot getting the kind of publicity he wanted. He suggested that those present name some one he could ap- point to fill the bill as a contact man between himself and the press. ‘They named two men. Both are Washington correspondents, one for a press association and the other for a nearby Democratic newspaper. Pay Was Too Small. It looked a deal was sbout to be made until the next day. The two men found that some of the publicity jobs paid as little as $3,000 & year. That is & bad minimum wage even for liberals accustomed to getting along without Packards. ‘The result was that some one sug- gested Gen. Johnson drop the steel in- dustry code and adopt one for publicity men. ‘The matter was still in the process of negotiation at last accounts.

With money, he pointed out. the gangs can buy more weapons, furnish bonds, employ adroit counsel and “obtain helpful contact with corrupt politicians.” Another one of the problems of law enforcement, Mr. Cummings said. is the reluctance of citizens to assist police in solving crimes. Besides the dislike to be summoned as witnesses, he said, many citizens are afrald to testify against criminals. Witnesses Disappear. | “Witnesses sometimes disappear.” he explained. “Or they forget.
