The con fprence was momentous, but tt was of an "ex p 1or n t u r y'' nature, and no definite results were P r 1m e expe<.•ted. ~llnister R a m sa y ~IacDonald and Foreign Secretary Sir Premier John Simon, repre· sentlng Great Brit· Flandin aln, were wllling to carry out that nation's military obligations under the Locarno treaty but balked at further commitment in continental affairs. Anyhow, they had promised to enter into no new agreements with· out the consent of parliament, which cannot be consulted until after the Easter holidays. Premier Flandin and Foreign Minister Laval of France sought to persuade England to Hoe up with France and nussla rather than with Germany, t.tnd they presented as one argument a new mutual assistance pact they had just signed with Russia. Premier Mussollnl, solemn and pessimistic, handled matters for Italy with the help of Fulvlo Suvich, undersecretary of foreign affairs. He had al· ready warned the world that the issue of war or peace probably could not be settled at Stresa. Of course, the chief question was the attitude of oth€r nations toward the constantly growing Pan-Germaoism of the reich under Hitler, and the first concrete problem taken up was France's appeal to the League of Nations against Germany's repudiation of tho miUtary clauses of the Versailles treaty. .Mussolinl and MacDonald were in· clined to accept Hitler's rearmament 1f there could be an agreement against further military expansion, but Flandin stood In opposition. The Italians urged a three-power alliance for protection against Germany, but England objected and France was uncertain. All three nations rather favored the rearmament of Austria, Bulgaria and Hungary, and the Danube pact which Italy {'Specially has been promoting. The agreement ls, of Geneva. course, directed primarily agalnst Germany. It Is believed In Paris that Hussla will soon conclu<le simllar alliance with Czechoslovakia and the Baltic states, thus completing a steel ring around Ger· mans's land frontiers. 'Ihe agreement Is still subject to alteration and final approval, and the Soviet press does not discuss It. That Russia still seeks "to maintain and strengthen the general peace" was sho,-:n by the signing of a Russo-German trade treaty which Is bel!e,·ed will greatly increase the volume of Russia's orUnder this acders in the reich. cord the Soviet will Increase purchases In Germany by 200,000,000 marks (about $80,000,000), a bankIng consortium headed by the Deutsche Bank and Disco ..mt Gesellschaft and the Dresdner bank to grant import credits for an average term of fiYe years.

Tugwell, all considered probabilities as members of the board that will administer the work relief fund. {N HIS first post-vacation conference with congressional leaders, disregarded President Roosevelt their fears of a prolonged session and Insisted on enactment of his legislative program. Especially he wants legislation dealing with extension of the NRA, socinl security, utilities holding companies, extension of federal authority over banking, ship subsidy readjustment and extension of $416,000,000 in nuisance taxes. Later the President conferred with Senator Joe Hobinson, who said both of them felt tllat very satisfactory Jlrogress Is being made. 'l'o the correspondents Mr. Roosevelt said he hoped to have the w01·k relief program at its peak by the middle of November, at which time 3,GOO,OOO unemployed should be at work under its terms. He in· dicated this program would be carried out as far as possible by existing governmental agencies. He will seek to avoid moving workers from one area to another, and \vll1 take care of as many "white collar'' workers as possible. The so'..'lal security bill finally was produced on the floor of the house There were of representatives. several blocs against it In its form as reported. These included representatives who want higher unemployment and old age payments; members from the poorer states, who want the federal government to bear the entire cost of the program, with the states relieved of any contribution, and the conservatives, who are opposed to the ''government going into the Insurance business" and exacting a pay roll tax during the depression. l condition, was landed at Jacksonville, Fla., by the destroyer Farragut and started immediately for New York, to attend the funeral of his cousin, 'varren Delano R. o b b I n s, after which he re· E~J.

"Revelations so startling ln character have come to light that Investigators believe the actual extent of corruption and fraud has been but partially disclosed," said a statement issued by the Labot department after a secret investigation of alleged frauds In the .. ·ew York district. "Sums ranging up to $100 are alleged to have been paid In cases involving false witnesses or passing of an applicant who • had failed in his test of knowledcre of the government or his ability to speak English. "It Is alleged that fees ranging from $300 to $1,200 were levied In cases involving fraudulent or altered manifest records, where It was desirable to obtain a record that would safeguard an allen from deportatlon or procure citizenship status by showing his legal admlsslon at the port of New York for permanent residence.'' TERRIFIC tornadoes tore through several southern states, Mississippi and Louisiana being especially hard hit. The number of dead was uncertain, but included at least 33, and more than 200 persons were Injured. Gloster, a town of 1,200 in Mississippi, was practically demolished, most of its residences and stores and the lighting and water systems being destroyed. Record-breaking floods occurred in California, causing ten deaths and serious property damage In the Feather river valley north of Sacramento and heavy losses elsewhere.

He announced his organization would •·support the rubber workers of Akron for as long a time as may be necessary." Green definitely marked out the tire strike as a test of labor's abll· ity to make good on the promises held out to it by the • Tew Deal. The national labor relations board, be pointed out, had ordered the big tlre companies, Goodyear, Goodrich, and Firestone, to allow their workers to elect representatives for collective bargaining, The companies have refused and labor now takes Into its own hands the enforcement of the NLRB decisio .... , Green argued. Tire manufacturers, on the other side, recognize the threatened strike as a key move in the New Deal program for regimentation of labor and industry and are fighting back.
