PICKARD W HAT alls this old world? WTiat are the causes of |he flllmoots? What can be done about It? These were tbe ques tions asked aud lu various w a y s a n sweredby scores of the leading men lu finance and Industry from 48 nations, assembled lu Washington for tbe sessions of the Inter national Chamber of Commerce. Silas H. Strawn of Chi cago, newly elected president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, formally opened tbe meeting aud then Georges Theunls, former Belgian premier and retiring presi- dent of the international body, took the chair The first address was the speech of President Hoover welcoming the delegates, und the Chief Execatlve seized tbe occasion to take another bard wallop at war aud armaments. He said he believed the certain way to restore prosperity was to lighten th« burden of national defense wblcb is now costing tbe nations more than 90,000,000,000 a ye&> and keeping near ly 0,000,000 men actively under arms. He urged the business men of the five continents to mobilize their In fluence upon their respective govern* ments to Join In tbe reduction of armament at the International con ference to be beld next year under the auspices of the League of Nations. “Of all proposals for the economic rehabilitation of the world,\ said Mr Hoover, “I know of none which com pares In necessity or importance with the successful result of that confer ence.” M. Tbeunle submitted n long and exhaustive report on world conditions, in the course of whlcb he said “I am personally convinced that the com mercial policy and tbe customs tariff In force In most of tbe countries of the world constitute one of the funda mental causes of our actual economic troubles. A liberal customs policy might be expected to lead to better business conditions.\ He thus showed he was In accord with certain prominent members of tbe United States Chamber of Com merce who at their meeting in At lantic City called for a tariff revision downward. Melvin A. Traylor, prominent Chi cago banker, electrified his bearers by a scorching attack on commercial leaders and government executives of America. \Ambition* cupidity and greed have dictated policies, and trou ble has been the result,\ he declared. “It Is a tragedy when in a world of plenty there should be so much pov erty and when, in i nation tbat boaats of Its riches, 5,000,000 or more per sons willing to work should be un able to find employment It is a chal lenge to the world and especially to American business and political lead ership.\ Mr Traylor's attack began wltb a criticism of manufacturers who took advantage of technological and man agement Improvements to swell their output to a point far in excess of the possibilities of consumption. And he was equally severe lu his character- ixatlon of Uie methods of bankers and of traders on the floors of the stock and grain exchanges. He urged that floor trading and small margin ac counts be forbidden. M EL STRAWN when he addressed the delegates to the international meeting Invited them all to Chicago for the “Jubilee* celebration of May 10 to 20, and he received asaurance that many of them wonld attend. The midweet metropolis had made most elaborate preparations for th!« affair, the program Including festivals In the brightly decorated <rloop” district, big parades, dedication of the replica of Tort Dearborn, lira* of the Century of ProfreA exposition buildings, and, to wind np with, the elaborate war game of the air force of the army. PREVAILING de- *■ preealon has not a f f e c t e d the Boy Scouts of America. The national council celebrated at a two day meeting In Mem* phis the close of the twenty-flrstyear of the organisation and an* nounced it had been tbe best and most eventful of alL Presi dent Walter W. Head of Chicago presided at all the sessions and on the last day Mortimer SchLff, New York banker, was elected president for IDSL At a banquet concluding the first day’s session Dan Beard, veteran In dian fighter and chief commissioner of Boy 8couts, presented the silver buffalo, highest honor In the gift of the organisation, to an Bngllsh peer and s ix Americana Those honored were Lord Hampton, chief commis sioner of British Boy 8couts; Griffith Ogden Bills, editor of The American Boy magazine; Lewis Gawtry, New York banker; George W Olmstead, Pennsylvania public utilities execu tive, Victor F. Ridder, New York newspaper publisher, Robert P Snlf fen, Yonkers, N Y., merchandising ex pert, and Mell R. Wllkinsoh, Atlanta (On.) merchant and manufacturer Ci tations praised them for distinguished service to scouting. Lord Hampton, long prominent in English Boy Scout work, served with distinction in the World war. He was awarded the Silver Cross for Ufe sav ing In 1016 and the following year re ceived the award of tbe Silver Wolf, the British Scout decoration for dis tinguished service to boys. A. B. Fall r_TERE Is something else for cer- * tain active opponents of the dry law to ponder upon. Tbe District of Columbia Court of Appeals, in an opin ion which takes away from Robert de Francis of Washington the citizen ship granted him In 1927, holds tbat a violator of the prohibition act can not be attached to the principles of the Constitution and is not a person of good moral character. The decision reversed the action of the District of Columbia Supreme court which had dealed a petition by United States Attorney Leo A. Hover seeking to set aside Francis' natural ization. t J I S conviction on * the charge of ac cepting a bribe having been upheld by the District of Columbia court of appeals, Al bert B. Fall says he has decided not to carry the case to the Supreme court of the United States. Tbe former secrotary of the Interior it seems, must serve tbe one year term In prison to whlcb he wns sentenced, and pay a fine of $100,000. vnless President Hoover Intervenes with a pardon—which is the hope of his friends. Fall, Interviewed at his ranch In New Mexico, said his attitude toward a Presidential pardon was rather pas sive. “I am an old man,” he said. “I am not guilty of tbe crime of whlcb I was accused. I had fought until I am worn out and considerations for my family impel me to carry the flght m# farther ” He said he had no money with which to pay the fine and explained lie had lost ownership of the ranch ea which he lives when a mortgage was foreclosed several years ago. M o t h e r s a n d c h i l d r e n and their welfare were the topics of especial con sideration darlag tho week throughout tbe nation. To promote better maternity care for the women of the United States was the object of a big meet ing In the Park Lane hotel, New York city, the arrangements for whi*h were in the change of Mrs. Kermlt Roosevelt. Prominent physicians and health of ficers as well aa many well known women were among tbe attendants, the latter Including Mra Herbert Hoover, Mrs, John Sloane, Mrs. Au gust Belmont, Mrs. S. Marshall Field, M n. Jeremlab Mllband, M tb . Samuel Schiffer, Mrs. Robert L. Gerry, Mrs. John R. Drexel, Miss Mabel Choate, and Miss Frances I’erklns, New York state Industrial commissioner DULJTZKJR prize awards for liter- * ary excellence In 19ttO huve been annouuced* and there are few If any surprises In tbe list The main auanJs are Best novel, Mrs. Margaret Ayer Barnes, for “Years of Grace\ best book dealing with the history of the United States, Prof. Bemudotte E.

A gold medal was awarded the Constitution of Atlanta, Ga^ for meri torious public service in exposing municipal g r a ft Several young men were given traveling scholarships In Journalism. G EORGE) FISHER BAKER of New York, reputed to be the richest American banker and the third richest man In the country, who died of pneu monia at the age of ninety-one. was burled Tuesday In Tuxedo Park., N. Y.t where he resided. Many persons promi nent In finance and In life generally were present at the funeraL Because Mr. Baker died In a period of price depression, the United States and the state of New York win re ceive In inheritance taxes far less of his amassed wealth than would have been the case had be passed away *wo years ago. Ills estate is esti mated at something like $500,000.0)0. DRENCH opposition to the proposed 1 Austro-German customs accord seems to be effective at least to the extent of keeping the little entente out of line. The foreign ministers of that entente have stated that alt ques tions concerning the accord must find the countries of the little entente Arm ly united in their attitude, and what tbat attitude will be Is Indicated by the fact that tbe Rumanian gi*\ern ment has Informed Berlin that It does not wish to negotiate with Germany at this time. M. BrlunrJ Is hrin# warm ly supported by Czechoslovakia. HINA has virtual- ly abrogated the e x t r a t e r r i t o r i a l i t y treaties, with for eign powers, the ab rogation to take effect January 1 next Chi nesi Jurisdiction over legal cases Involving foreigners resident In China is to be estab lished, but special courts for such cases will be created In cer tain areas, Including Shanghai, Tientsin, Mukden and Can ton. Tbe mandate to this effect was promulgated by President Chlang Kal shek's government after negotiations with Sir Miles Lampson, British min ister, for abolition of extraterritorial ity had broken down. Foreign consuls In China feared that communists would find In the action excuse for a t tacks on foreigners In the Interior, and the number of protecting warships at various ports was Increased. President Chlang Kai-shek Is hav ing hie troubles with rebels in Canton and with some members of his own Nationalist party The former are led by Chen Chl-tang, and both tbey and the conservative Nationalists declare that Chlang must resign the presl dency, asserting that be is trying to make blmself a dictator The prov inces of Kwangtung and Kwnngsl de clared their Independence. Chfang Kal-*hek PRESIDENT DOrMERGT'E opened * France’s International culonlal ex position at Vlncennpft park on Tues day, and it Is experted UiHt the hlg show will attract thrones of visitors until it closes at the end of October In addition to all French colonies, the United States Italy Belgium Brazil, Denmark, Holland, and Por tugal are represented.

Tbe Tnifed States Is represented by a copy of WanMnpton’s Mount Vernon home, and hy pavilions for Hawaiian Porto Klrnn, Alaakan, and Philippine exhibits. PRESIDENT CARMONA of Portugal * Is comparatively happy now for the rather serious revolt in Madeira Island has been suppressed by the government forces under command of Magalheas Correia, minister of marine The federal troops hombardod the rebels at Funchal hy land, sea and air until they rfave up the fleht. the leaders taking refuse In the British le gatlon. The casualties were not ex cesslve, but the normal life of Madeira had been greatly disturbed for weeks nnd the government in Lisbon was really worried for a time. M Olttt than once Mustapha Kemal J*asha has refused to lot tbe Turks make lilm President for llf«\ but they are doing it In efTect any way The other day they elected him for his third term of fuur years, that action being taken b> the natifcal as seinbly In extraordinary sgs^lon at Antf)ra, and the vote was'unanlmous Ismet Pasha and the cabinet resigned pro forma and the premier nnd other ministers were promptly reappointed.

New York —To reach New York city through I/Ong Island sound ships must sail the East river which is not a river at all but a tidal strait. And right In the middle of this misnamed stretch of water Is Hell Gate, the most treacherous, wicked whirlpool that ever sucked a boat into Davy Jones' locker For (32 years man and dyna mite have nibbled at the rock bed of this channel apd now tt has been tamed. Army engineers now announce tbat the raging current has been slowed down to six miles an hour, says Tome l’ettey in the Chicago Tribune. There are new charts in the pilot houses of the Boston bound steamers, and the tug captains will haul their fleets of eand scows safely under Brooklyn bridge with hever a fear of piling them up In some tenement house back yard.
