A—4 = INGOME OF U.S. FAGTORIN UNREST Dr. Aranha Says " World “Confusion” Is Readily Understandable. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, Nov, 4—Dr. Oswaldo Aranha, Brazilian Ambassador to the United States, said today world “confusion and danger” were not sur- prising in view of several factors, among them that the United States has “one-half of the world income, to take care of only one-fifteenth of the world population.” Dr. Aranha addressed the Foreign Trade Council at its convention here. “You must realize * * * that while your national income per capita is $500, the average income of almost two billion other people is only $30 per capita,” his prepared address con- tinued. “We cannot be surprised that the world should have drifted into con- fusion and danger, when we contem- plate this situation, when we consider tariff barriers, the stemming of the free flow of capital, the stoppage of credit, the deficiency in buying power, the sterilization of gold, the increase in taxation, the anarchy in the money market, the multiplication of compen- sating agreements, the development of the colonial type of commerce, the ac- tion of the principal countries toward more and more formidable armament, the political and social struggles of the Present day.” A suggested trade-bargaining treaty between United States and Great Brit- ain came before the council for dis- cussion, with President Eugene P. Thomas expressing belief “chances of such an agreement are very good.” “The general expectation is there may be early developments in the line of a treaty with the United Kingdom,” ‘Thomas of New York, who formerly was a vice president of the United Btates Steel Corp., said. “We believe the chances of such an agreement are very good. High Brit- ish officials have viewed it with favor, When the mechanics will be com- Dbleted is another matter.” Predicts Rapid Progress. Dr. Henry F. Grady, vice chairman of the United States Tariff Commis- sion and one of the discussion leaders in the reciprocal trade agreements ses- sion, declared the American tariff agreement program “is going to move ahead rapidly.” “It is anticipated,” Dr. Grady said, “there will be a number of announce- Ments in the months ahead. We are hopeful that it will be possible to make an agreement with Great Britain.” The United Kingdom is the prin- eipal group not now included in the 16 trade agreements negotiated by Secretary of State Hull under the trade agreements act of 1934. Can- ada is among the 16 nations which represent about 36 per cent of Amer- ican exports and 42 per cent of this Nztion’s imports. Government officials attending the session of the council, an organiza- tion devoted to the theme that “for- eign trade is essential to American industry,” would not discuss publicly the status of a possible trade agree- ment with Great Britain. Privately they expressed hopes that one would be reached, possibly by spring. Participating in the trade agree- ments session, which was closed be- cause of the desire, one official said, for a “frank discussion” of problems, were Dr. Grady and Harry C. Haw- kins, chief of the State Department, Division of Trade Agreements. Under the Trade Agreements Act Congress gave the President power to raise or lower tariffs as much as 50 per cent on chief commodities im- ported from other nations, in return for equal treatment for United States goods. Messersmith Hails Program. George S. Messersmith, Assistant Secretary of State, hailed the Gov- ernment’s trade agreements program as “perhaps the only single, important, constructive element at work in this disordered world to bring back order into dislocated commercial markets.” | & Mr. Messersmith, a former teacher who joined the foreign service in 1914, declared the trade program “is one of the greatest, if not the greatest single element working today for peace and stability.” He described it as “im- portant not only because it means so much for the re-establishment of gur markets throughout the world but because, in the opinion of the Presi- dent and of Secretary Hull and I be- lieve of all persons who have given this subject real thought, it is the principal instrument which is work- ing for the maintenance of the peace of the world in a world in which that peace is so definitely threatened.” Dr. O. M.-W. Sprague of Harvard University, former New Deal monetary adviser, told the coumcil that “to stabilize currencies in a highly un- stable world does not get you any- where.” “Sooner or later the system will break down,” Dr. Sprague asserted. “What we do not have is the desire, will, determination to established the gold standard and maintain it. When we have made furtQer progress in that direction I think we will be ready for currency stabilization in many na- tions of the world.” ANGLO-RUSSO-REICH PACTS ARE RATIFIED Exchange of Instruments Takes Place at Foreign Office in London. By the Associzted Press. LONDON, Nov. 4—Great Britain, Germany and Soviet Russia today formally exchanged instruments of ratification to Anglo-Soviet and Anglo- German naval treaties. These treaties were designed tc bring Germany and Russia within the scope of the London -tri-power treaty between Great Britain, the United States and Prance. Dr. Ernest Woermann, counselor of the German Embassy in London, signed for Germany and Moiseyevitch Kagan for Russia—both going to the Zforeign office for the brief ceremony. The treaties make Germany and Russia subject to the London treaty, which provides for exchange of build- ing information and limits the size of ships but not their number. Russia is to be free from any obli- gation to supply information about | & naval vessels constructed or employed in the Far East. Morover, upon noti- fication to Great Britain, Russia will be allowed to depart from restrictions on size of vessels in the Far East, should Japan’s naval construction ex- ceed the treaty limitations.

HUSBAND KILLS HIMSELF BY WIFE'S LOCKED DOOR Richmonder Carries Out Threat to Shoot Unless She Dropped Plans for Divorce. By the Assoclatea Press. RICHMOND, Nov. 3.—Wilson Glide- well, 25, carried out a threat yesterday he made to his estranged wife—a threat to kill himself unless she aban- doned divorce plans and return to him, Police found him slumped in a hall- |, way of a rooming house in front of his. wife’s locked bedroom door. By his side lay a pistol which had wounded him in the abdomen and the head. City Coroner J, H. Scherer returned a verdict of suicide. Tearfully, 21-year-old Audrey Glide- well told Detective Capt. Alex S. Wright of & harrowing three hours that preceded the shooting. In a statement the young woman said Glidewell called for her at the cafe where she works and said he would take her home in the taxicab he drove for a local company. Instead of driving to her home, she said, he drove out on the Washington highway where he entreated her to for- get about the divorce she planned and return to him. This she refused to do. She called another taxicab to take Y -3 S ) A. P. Photo. D her home. Her husband followed the second cab, attempting to halt it, she said, until he was finally stopped by & State patrolman. She arrived home at 3 a.m., she con- tinued, and retired. She was disturbed shortly thereafter by a knock at the door, she stated, and her husband’s voice calling. She said she made no reply and a moment later heard the two shots. — DOYLE MAPS BATTLE TO CLEAR MRS.

HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Pron- tier, Nov. 4—Spanish insurgent troops, in a Southern Aragon offensive, 'were reported today to have captured a stra- tegic position in the Fuentes sector. Thousands of reinforcements were massed behind the insurgent lines to continue the push as soon as the weather would permit. (Dispatches to Madrid from Bar- bastro, a Catalan city about 100 miles west of Barcelona, said an estimated 80 persons were killed and an undetermined number in- jured in an inseurgent air raid there yesterday.) Dispatches reaching the French frontier said three of Generalissimo Francisco Franco’s crack commanders —GQGens. Aranda, Solchaga and Mos- cardo—were directing the lower Ara- gon campaign. An insurgent communique said the Valencia government had ordered dis- solution of all anarchist political com- mittees to restore discipline in its navy. ‘The communique said the action was prompted by a recent mutiny aboard the battleship Jaime Primero off Car- tagena, in which “five foreign officers” were thrown overboard. Lerida Death Toll 225, MADRID, Nov. 4 (£)—An official announcement today placed the toll of Tuesday’s air raid on the Catalan city of Lerida at 225 dead and more than 700 injured. C., ON BRITISH PACT Britain Hesitant to Take Next Step Toward Negotiation. By Cable to The Star. LONDON, England, Nov. 4—Wash- ington still is waiting and will prob- ably keep on waiting for some time for the British government to take the next step toward the negotiation of the Anglo-American trade agreement. This is well understood in official circles in London but apparently has not been made clear to several impor- tant newspapers which for the past 24 hours have been trying to tell their readers that the American Government is on the point of initiating the hear- ings which, under the Trade Agree- ments Act, must precede formal nego- tiations. The fact is that the two governments cannot even decide to enter formal ne- gotiations until they have ascertained that there is a basis for the agreement and that this basis will not exist until the dominions have agreed to certain modifications in the Ottawa agree- ‘ments. Want Larger Farm Market. ‘These modifications will be neces- sary if the Americans are to be given the increased market for their agri- cultural produce in the’United King- dom, which they ask as their part of the bargain. It was hoped that these concessions would be secured at the time of the Imperial Conference last May, but several obstacles appeared. Among them was the fact that the Lyons coalition government in Australia faced a general election in October With each purchase of a combination G. E.

FACING WAT and found it inexpedient to alienate the Australian protectionists by mak- ing any ‘concessions before that time. While the Lyons’ victory in the Australian elections two weeks ago will help clear the way for the agree- ment, the difficulties are still con- siderable and will take time %o remove. ‘The British and Australian govern- ments have not had time since the eleciions to renew discussions.of the subject. The Australians appear to like the idea of an Anglo-American agree- ment “in principle,” put object to a great many concrete poiuts in the proposals which wecre submitted to them at the time of the Imperial Con- ference. The British government must still secure their consent to several of the most important conces- sions which they propose to grant American agriculture. If and when the Anglo-American agreement is concluded, Australia may find it feasible to modify the licensing system which it now employs to dis- criminate against American exports.
