Show PLEASANT ABOVE REVIEW News Review of Current ; Events the World Over Congress, Eager to Adjourn, Passes Relief Bill-signed Bill-signed to Suit President Meaning of Lausanne Agreement New Franco-British Accord. . By EDWARD W, PICKARD Sen, Wagner SPEAKER GARNER, having established es-tablished his pet campaign Issue Is-sue of government loans to Individuals, Indi-viduals, was content to let stand President Hoover's mnm. yoto uf the Wagner-r Wagner-r Garner relief bill containing that feature. fea-ture. No attempt, was made In either house or senate to pass the measure over the veto, and both chambers speedily prepared and 'passed new bills designed to conform In the , - ' main to the Presi dent's wishes, Mr. Garner, assuming as-suming "that most of you gen- j tlemen would, like to go home," fixed things so the two bills were lent to Immediate conference so the differences could be Ironed out and congress could adjourn. In the senate the remaking of the measure was managed largely by Senator Wagner of New York. One amendment adopted at the Instance In-stance of Senator Glass would per-,mlt per-,mlt federal reserve banks for a two-year two-year period by vote of the federal reserve board and In "unusual and exigent circumstances" to make loans to any Individual or corporation corpora-tion unable to secure credit from ether banking Institutions. This at first was repugnant to the Presl dent, but he changed his mind over night and Informed Senator Glass would not object to its Inclusion In the measure. In other respects, save for minor variations, the measure is much the same as the one Mr. Hoover ve - toed, with the Garner loan clause omitted. berlln both replied to the attacks of Churchill and others. The latter said: "We are still ready to cancel all debts due us. If the United States should decide to cancel all debts due her, our offer Is still open. If America still feels she must ask us to pay more than we have re-el.V(L re-el.V(L we must consider what we are going to do. Before we know what America will propose to do In the matter it would be unreasonable for us to consent to cancel the debts of our European allies' Though the Lausanne agreement reduces Germany's liabilities In the way of reparations to about one per cent, it does not remove from Germany Ger-many the stigma of having been solely to blame for the World war. Therefore it la rejected by Hitler's Nazis and is distasteful to the Nationalists. Na-tionalists. Hitler declared that the new treaty "will not be worth three marks within six months." The German cabinet approved Chancellor Chancel-lor Von Papen's action In . signing the treaty. : lutlon and asked unanimous consent to call it up for action. Senators Hoblnson and Watson, minority and majority leaders, agreed this was not the proper occasion for such a measure, so the resolution remained on the table. V- of MOTION of Senator Couzens GREAT BRITAIN and France announced an-nounced a,, new understanding, known - as a" "confidence" accord, which the French regard as a renewal re-newal of the entente cordlale. They agree to work togethertor the restoration res-toration of Europe and to keep each ether mutually Informed of qnes-tlohs qnes-tlohs coming to their notice similar to that "now so happily settled at Lausanne," Sir John Simon, telling parliament parlia-ment of the accord, said flatly it baa nothing to do with the war debts due the United States from Britain and France, adding: "If the French people believe such Is the ease they will be quickly undeceived," unde-ceived," On the other hand, when Premier Herrlot announced the agreement In Paris he declared that Great Britain cannot now undertake under-take a new debt settlement with America without first consulting France. Simon said the pact wns not intended to be exclusive and that Germany, Italy and ""Idgf'tni had been Invited to associate In tt provisions with France and Brltnln. A GREEMENT with the govern- ments of the Dominion of Canada Can-ada and Ontario on the St Lawrence Law-rence seaways, project was on the verge of being completed, com-pleted, but presumably presum-ably would not be In time for action by the senate at this session. Premier Pre-mier nenry of Ontario On-tario said it would be signed "within a week or so. Presfc" dent Hoover had Winston Churchill EUROPE Is saved again, subject to ratification of the Lausanne - clared in the British house of cum aions. Ana raunca-tlon raunca-tlon is subject to the cancellation or heavy reduction of the war debts the European nations owe the United States. No Eu- i jreanpovrer "haadh rectly proposed to the United States a revision of those debts ; but such action ac-tion 4s hoped for and even expected by statesmen of the former allied nations of Europe. The sentiment In Washington is .absolutely .ab-solutely against cancellation. That, In a nutshell. Is the status concerning the pact signed at Lausanne Lau-sanne by the European powers whereby Germany Is to be relieved of all obligations In the way of reparations on payment of a lump turn of SJPO.OOO.OQO gold marks about $714,000,000. At the same time that they Initialed this agreement agree-ment the representatives of Ger many a chief creditors signed a se cret "gentlemen's -pact" that their respective parliaments would not ratify the treaty until the United States had reconsidered the question ques-tion of reducing the debts due her from Europe. And If America's de cision Is adverse to such reduction, the Lausanne treaty becomes of no eJTect and the reparations situation .reverts to Its former status under the Young settlement. The German government declared Germany bad nothing whatever to do with the gentlemen's agreement Churchill rigorously attacked the whole proceedings at Lausanne. He aid that, from his knowledge of public opinion In America, he believed be-lieved "no more unfortunate approach ap-proach toward debt cancellation could hare been made," Prime Minister - MacDoaald and Chancellor of the Exchequer Chanv i directed the efforts to bring the matter Hanfcd to a speedy coriclu-MacNider coriclu-MacNider slon, and ' Hanford MacNlder. minister to Canada, was In Washington as slstiug the State department in the negotiations, In which Secretary Stlmson, Canadian Minister Her-ridge, Her-ridge, James Grafton Rogers, assistant assist-ant secretary of state In charge "f the St. Lawrence plan, and John HIckerson, the department's expert on Canadian affairs, were especially active. An interesting Incident was the offer of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt to go to Washington and help President Pres-ident Hoover In expediting the ne gotiations. The President imme diately and politely refused the offer, advising the governor to go ahead with bis vacation ;rulse because be-cause "International treaties fall un der the Jurisdiction of the federal government" GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT did proceed with bis cruise, sailing sail-ing with hlsthree sons up the New England coast and bearing a figura tive olive branch at the masthead, for he was In Al Smith waters. His 38 foot yawl, Myth n, put In for the first night at Morris cove near New Haven, and proceeded thence to Stonlngton, Conn. There he met J Harold HeGrath,-: Rlmde Island state chairman, and others from that state, to whom he said: "I not only fully understand but greatly appreciate Rhode Island's standing by our old friend Governor Smlfh in the convention, and I know .now I ara going to receive the same displayof loyalty." -;r " t , His visitor assured hlra he would carry Rhode IslanoVantUn further conversation Roosevelt made It plain that he was jlad to forget past dissensions.: pointed a committee of five senators to Investigate loans by the Reconstruction Recon-struction Finance corporation. The Inquiry will be conducted In secret and a report will not be made until next January. ,. Administration senators threw their support to the Couzens plan to head off a resolution by Senator Norrls of Nebraska for Immediate publicity of aii loans. . Critical references were made during dur-ing the debate by Senators Couzens and Norris to an $80,000,000 loan by the corporation to what was called "the Dawes bank" In Chicago. WHETHER Smith Reynolds, young heir to the great tobacco fortune, committed suicide In his home at Wlnston-Salem, N. O., or was murdered Is still unsettled. The coroner' s Jury found he came to hjfL death at . the hands of "persons unknown," and so his widow, "the former for-mer LIbby Holman of stage fame, and his chum and sec- V retary, Albert Walker, were set 'jlrt. Reynolds free by the police. But Sheriff Tran- sou Scott says the case Is by no means closed, and the authorities will continue their Inquiry Into the suspicious circumstances surrounding surround-ing the tragedy. The case Is sea sational In the extreme, and the de- tails have filled many columns' In the newspapers. ' Mrs. Reynolds weeping and near collapse, departed from Winston-Salem Winston-Salem with-1 her parents for Cincinnati, Cin-cinnati, their home, and was expected expect-ed to go from there to Some- secluded se-cluded , place In the mountains. Leading lawyers agree that her unborn un-born child.

In any case It does not seem that LIbby Holman Is due to receive any considerable part of the big estate. f PERU experienced an attempt at revolution when a lot of civilian Communists led by army officers rebelled re-belled against the government and seized the Important commercial city of Trujillo.

Their Intention, now achieved, was to put off the test until after the November election. Their excuse was that they should not be .called on to vote on the proposition until an authoritative definition of an Intoxicant could be pbtalned. Senator Bingham's beer bill was buried In committee, and later Senator Shennard of Texas prevented consideration of a resolution res-olution offered by Bingham In structing the surgeoo general of the United State to poll leading physt clans and psychologists as to their opinion of what constituted an Intoxicating In-toxicating beverage.
