Throughout ‘speeches which marked the opening proceedings of the im- perial conference the ever recurring | note was the desire to cooperate, to meet the common probldm with eommon action. “I should like to make this con- ference another turning point in the wonderful history of our people,” said Prime Minister Ramsay Mac- Donald in a 'rtadio broadcast last| night. “Our weakness is in our ps chology far more than in our skill, our materlal or our resources. It is & renewal of will that we need. ‘Would Help Each Other “What we have to consider is, I ‘would suggest, what practical means we can devise for helping one an-| other, ‘and thereby helping us all, always remembering the different world contracts and internal indus- trial gircumstances to which he have to accommodate ourselves. “We face a world still unsettled; beyond us is a prospect of intangible fears, set purposes, unhappy suspi- cions, firm convictions, numbing ex- | periences and yet a defiant idealism and it is our lot to try and find a sure way ‘amidst the confusions — a way which those who will sit here | after us will gladly pursue to the! goals which are to us but promiges. | “If it be our good fortune to find | that way.it is only because we have | confidence in each other, because! ‘We are inspired in all otr delibera- tions by the spirit of free association | and guided by a will to cooperate | not only in settling our own diffi- | culties but in giving an example of | autonomy within unity to the rest of the world.” Sentiments Echoed Sentiments voiced by MacDonald were echoed in the subsequent speeches of the dominion prime ministers. The imperial conference engaged | today ig routine preparatory to ac- | tual discussion in committee of mat- ters on the agenda. There was to be | no plenary session. In conference circles it was an-| ticipated that delegates’ views of Britain's economic condition, per-| haps the outstanding topic of discus- | sion facing the conference, would ' be heard at the next plenary ses- sion, possibly Monday.

He has proved a statesman of out- standing qualities; he has traveled more than his predecessor, Friedrich Ebert, dared to travel during the uncertain post-revolution period. He has spoken in public on a number of important occasions, with the world as his forum, and always has caused surprise by the vigor of Dis utterances. Has Influenced Events His spoken utterances have been isuppl(’men(cd by a number of per- sonally drafted letters written at critical moments in the young re- public’s history. It was thus that he endorsed the Treaty of Locarno, approved Ger- many's entry into the League of Nations, arged acceptance of the Young plan of reparations, and ex- plained to the nation why the Po- lish-Germany treaty was a political necessity—af in letters evincing his personal style and trend of thought. The venerable president has prov- ien a most charming host. He seemg never to tire. Standing erect in the sreceiving line, he greets guests at large functions for hours, with a kind special word to everyone. His diplomatic and state dinners have been particularly notable.

They have realized that with the big cut in"operating expenses which we have been able to make by locating our store in a low-rental warehouse in the suburbs and by reducing or eliminating other expenses common to stores operating in the city, we are able to maintain a scale of prices other- wise impossible. And not only our low prices have appealed, but the quality and selec- tion of our merchandise have been most favorably received; unusual things and all brand new. The convenience of the ample parking space right at our door, is fre- quently spoken of by our patrons, as is the comfortable atmosphere of the store—a sense of heing a welcome visitor without being urged to buy. If you are not already numbered among the discoverers of this new establishment, may we not direct you how to reach here—and we are here every evening until 9 o’clock.
