Show otvro Review of the Year 1930 5 at Home and in Other Lands Unemployment and Economic Depression Generally PrevalentSteps Toward World Peace Democrats Win in United States Elections South American Revolutions. -- j By EDWARD W. PICKARD PROSPERITY, which was -- just corner" at the beginning of 1930, gave the world no more than an occasional glimpse of her face daring the year. Business depres- sion. Increasing unemployment, continuing low prices for agricultural products 'and declining markets for securities prevailed generally. Skilled observers professed to see war clouds again gathering over the Balkans, but notable steps were taken In the direction of world peace and disarmament The United States. Great Britain and Japan signed the London naval limitation treaty, and toward the close of the year there were Indications that France and Italy, settling their parity dispute, r would make It a pact. Some progress was achieved by the 'preparatory disarmament commission of the League of Nations. The revision of German reparations, known as the Young plan, was adopted by all nations concerned and put Into effect, although Germany was not hopeful of Us ultimate success. The evacuation of the Rhlneland by the allied forces was completed. China's long, bloody and confused civil war ended In victory for the Nationalist government Popular and military revolutions upset the governfive-powe- ments of five Latin-America- n repub- lics. and other Though governmental agencies in the United States strove throughout the year to relieve the unfortunate economic conditions, results of these efforts were slow In appearing. Consequently the voters went to the polls In November and expressed their dissatisfaction In the customary manner. There was a Democratic landslide that covered most of the country and the Republican party virtually lost Its control of both houses of the congress that convenes In March, 1931. However, the national leaders of the victorious Democrats pledged their party to with the Republican administration in all measures designed to bring prosperity around that corner, and business was reassured by the promise that there would be no attempt for some time to revise the tariff act. passed In June. Industrial and financial distress in the United States was greatly Increased by drought that prevailed all summer in the Mississippi and Ohio river states and extended as far east as the Virginias. National and state governments afforded speedy relief to the sufferers. As winter neared numerous organizations throughout the country went Into action to alleviate the unemployment situation, their aim being to supply those out of work with Jobs rather than charity doles. Public building and highway projects were started and speeded up, and great industrial and transportation concerns sought means to Increase the number of their employees. All in all, 1930 was not a happy year for the world. en her friendship with these states by offering credits. During the year there were many Indications that Italy was drawing Into close with Germany and Russia. After being ratified by all the- nations concerned, the Young plan for reparations was put Into effect on May 9. Gates W. McGarrah of New York already had been elected president of the bank for international settlements created by the plan. On May 19 the last of the French troops In the Rhlneland began moving out. the evacuation being completed June 30. A separate reparations settlement was signed In April by Hungary, Austria and the states in the little entente. Frnnk B. Kellogg, former secretary of state of the United States, was elected a member of the World Court In September to fl'i out the terra of Charles Evans Hughes. The mandate commission of the League of Nations made In August Its long awaited report on the Pulestlne conflicts between Jews and Arabs, placing the blame on Great Britain. In the fall the British government announced a new policy concerning Palestine which would stop for the present any further Immigration of Jews Into the Holy Land. Zionists everywhere protested vigorously and President Chalm Wolzmann and other chief officers of the World Zionists organization resigned. Russia's Great Conspiracy Story. Early in November the government of Russia announced that It had uncovered a gigantic plot against the Soviet regime In which a nuniher of "capitalistic' states were said to be Involved. Among many individuals who were alleged to have a part in the conspiracy were Former Premier Poincare and Foreign Minister Brland of France and Sir Henri Deterdinc, British oil magnate. Eight Russian engineers were put on trial, confessed and were sentenced to terms In prison. Paris and London looked on the whole thing as a "frame-up.- " Late In January Mexico severed diplomatic relations with Russia because of alleged Communist Insults. In th United States the advocates of a policy of resumption of relations with the Soviet government were Jolted by revelations that the latter had been selling wheat short on the American grain exchanges, aiding In the demoralization of prices. At the same time t: became evident that the Moscow government was dumping grain in the European markets at prices far below the cost of produ tion. The whole affair created a great stir here and ahroad but nothing much could be done about It - FOREIGN GREAT BRITAIN'S Labor struggled manfully throughout the year to solve the nation's economic problems, but found that this could not be done In a short time. Unto Increase, employment continued INTERNATIONAL passing the two million mark In June, and Industrial depression was little lightened If at all. However, no one THREE months of Intensive debate, negotiation, study of exseemed to hove a better solution to perts figures and mutual concessions offer than Prime Minister MacDonald brought forth the London naval treaty, and his ministers, so they held on to which was signed on April 22 by the their power.

One of its frequent manifestations was the making of salt contrary to the laws. The a congress, consisting largely of Gandhi's adherents, decided to boycott the ronndtable conference arranged for late in the year, because their demand was for the absolute independence of India. The roundtalile conference opened In London November 12 with much pomp and ceremony, the native princes, the Hindus, the Moslems and even the "untouchables" being represented by their ablest men and by two brilliant women. The Indians made it cleiir they would accept nothing less than dominion status, and some of them bitterly attacked the British methods of rule In India. The problem before the conference and the government was so complex that there was no chance for its solution for many months. One definite decision reached was that Burma fchould be made a separate dominion. In the Canadian national election on July 28 the Conservatives completely Upset the Liberal government headed by Prime Minister W. I Mackenzie King and secured a comfortable majority in he dominion parliament, and Richard B. Bennett, their leader, tie came prime minister. The new government took steps at once to relieve the unemployment situation and to belt the farmers, one being the almosi com plete discontinuance of Immigration from Europe. Grran Fas'ists Win. As in most other countries, political events In " Germany reflected the prevailing discontent of the people, and there it was aggravated by the feeling that they were oppressed by the reparations. Chancellor Mueller and his cabinet resigned In March been use of dissatisfaction with the ratification of the Young plan and with the budget and financial reforms proposed. Dr. Heinrich Bruenlng. Centrist lender, became chancellor and formed a ministry of members of the five middle parties. The National So ciallsts and the Communists kept up continual agitation and President Uln deuburg dissolved the reichstag on July IS. In the elections which were held September 14 the National Socialists, commonly called the Fascists won a most surprising and tremendous victory. They increased the number of their seats In the reichstag from 12 to 107, and their popular vote from 800.000 to more than 6,(KK).00O. Their titular leader Is Adolf Hitler who, be Ing an Austrinn. could not be elected to the reichstag. France, Spain and Italy. One small provision in the finance bill brought a vote of lack of confidence in the French chamber rf deputies In February and the Tardleu ministry was forced to resign. It was cab succeeded by a Radical-Socialiinet formed by Chautemps which was defeated on its first appearance. Tardleu then was recalled, and held on through a stormy summer and fall, but early in December the senate forced him and his cabinet to resign, and Theodore Steeg undertook to form a new ministry. France maintained her position as one of the most prosperous countries of Europe, and gathered an immense store of gold. She was largely preoccupied with nntlonal defense and went ahead with her plan for a powerful chain of fortifications on her eastern frontier. Gen. Prlnio de Rivera, who had been dictator of Spain for more than six years, resigned on January 28, partly under compulsion, when faced with the threat of a military revolt. He was succeeded by Gen. D'amaso Throughout the year there were repeated strikes, food riots and violent demonstrations by students and In the middle of December a serious rebellion broke out In the northern part of the country. Economy was the continual cry of the Italian government. Premier Mussolini being Its spokesinau, and his measures toward that end were put through with thoroughness and dis patch. They extended to the reduction of salaries of all governmental employees, who are remarkably numerous there, and all employers were urged to follow suit In compensation, the cost of living was brought down by the lowering of prices of food and other necessities. At the same time the Duce continued his program of extensive public works, like drainage and restoration of waste lands, giving employment to many men. Carol on Rumanian Throne. Carol, former crown prince of Rumania, with the aid of prominent Rumanians, executed a startling coup d'etat In June. From his exile in France he flew to his native country In an alrplune and two days later the parliament declared It i m king and his little son, who had held the title, heir to the throne. Carol noon began planning for his coronation, but bis estranged wife declined to be reconciled and the statesmen said the ceremony could not be held unless she were present or the marriage were dissolved. As a result of this dispute Premier Manlu resigned In October and Carol went ahead with his plans. An Interesting If not imMirtant event was the marriage on October 25 of King Boris of Bulgnrla and Princess Glovanna, daughter of the king aud queen of Italy. Revolutions. Revolt (lamed In four South American republics. Four men who ha'd been virtual dictators were ousted. Four new governments were established. As a preliminary to these events there wAs a revolution In the Dominican republic In February, the Immediate cause being the announced Intention of President Iloraclo Vasques to stand After a few skirmishes for Yasoues was forced out of office, b- All-Indi- -- Ber-engne- r.

He was permitted to take refuge in Chile, ami bis much hated right hand man. Gen. Hans Kuudt of Prussia, tied back In bis German home. A military Junta took over the government its chief being Gen. Carlos Blanco Ga I tin do. ' Peru followed sull In August. The officers of the army led a movement against President Augusto B. Igula who had held the office for more than ten years and considered himself almost irremovable. He was forced to resign, turning ovei his powers to a military Junta, and later Lieut Col. Luis M. Sanchez Cerro was made provisional president Legulu had been recogui.ed as an efliclent business president and Peru made great material strides during his regime, but the revolutionists accused him of "denial of civil liberties' and also of nepotism and the bale of concessions. He was imprisoned to await trial. I.ate In August President Hipolito Irigoyen of Argentina was warned by his minister of JiiFtice that a revolution might break out Immediately.' A few da.v later the prediction was ful filled, the high army and navy officers leading their commands in a revoll that speedily ousted the aged chief executive, who was seriously HI. Only in Buenos Aires was there any popular opposition to the revolution, and this was soon quelled with some blood shed. Getr. Jose Francisco Uriburu. chief of the insurgents, became the provisional president on September 6. Irigoyen for years had enjoyed great personal popularity in Argentina, was president from 1916 to 1922 and was elected again in 1928. But he had b come senile and sick and lost bis hold on the people. Vargas Rules Brazil. Brazil's revolution broke out early In October and was In. a way a war between the states, the leader of each striving to seize the central govern ment. The term of President Washing ton Luis was soon to expire but his favored candidate. Dr. Julio Prestes, president of the state of Sao Paulo had been elected, allegedly by fraud. The defeated liberal candidate. Dr. Getulio Vargas, former president of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, start ed a revolt to prevent the inauguration of Prestes, and the movement spread to state after state, all the insurgent armies converging on Rio de Janeiro, the national capital. The government resisted stubbornly, but considerable parts of the army and navy deserted It and after a few weeks of bloody fighting Luis was ousted. The members of the Junta that took over the government at once began quarreling and scheming, but Vargas promptly came 'up from the south with a large force of gaucho soldiers and his authority was recognized. He was Installed as provisional president on November 3. Pascual Ortiz Rubio was Inaugurated as president of Mexico on February 5 and selected a 6trong cabinet under whose ruie the country promises to prosper. Especial attention is being paid to reorganization of agriculture and to education. DOMESTIC less cause for complaint the peoples of most other countries, the inhabitants of the Unit ed States were nevertheless dissatis- WITH fied by and Overproduction pessimistic. fanners and manufacturers and timidity of consumers resulted in business depression and unemployment that lasted throughout the year, despite all efforts to restore prosperity. The great drought played its evil part affecting conditions in the entire coun try. President Hoover's administration had another exceedingly difficult year. Id the senate the Democrats were reinforced by the radical Republicans and the coalition fought many of the Chief Executive's policies. After more than six months of debate the senate passed the Smool tariff bill, embracing two features that were obnoxious to the President. These were the export debenture provision, curried over from the old farm relief legislation, and a clause transferring the flexible tariff power from the President to congress. The louse of representatives eliminated these features, the senate was. forced to yield, and on t June 14 the tariff measure was finally enacted. It reached the highest protective level Huwley-Smoo- of any turlff law ever passed, with an average rate about 20 per cent above bill that of the of 1922. In Its entirety it wus satisfying to nobody, bul President Hoover signed It because he saw In its flexible provision Hie means of rltcbtlug Its Injustices. Protests again, the higher duties were received from many foreign governments. Veterans' Pension Act. Fordney-.MeCunibc- r There was another long and hitter wrangle over the veterans' pension bill. As first passed by congress It was wholly objectionable to the administration and was promptly vetoed, partly because It granted compensation for disabilities not Incurred In active service and partly because It went "beyond the financial necessities of the situation." The bouse sustained the veto but the seruti repassed the bill with some amendments. These were rejected by the representatives and a measure fairly acceptable to the administration was passed and signed. It Mather, inammrated a vast nension system for all partly wholly disabled veterans not already receiving compensation, no matter what their Illness or when contracted. Soon after the enactment of this law the President put Into effect the consolidation of the three bureaus that had been In charge of veterans of ail wars and appointed Gen. Frank T. Uines as n. chief. Some of the recommendations of the Wlckersham law enforcement commission were adopted by congress, the most IrrfiKirtant being the transfer, of the prohibition bureau from the treasury to the Department of Justice. The change was made on July L Col. Amos W. W. Woodcock took command of the new bureau and former Commissioner James M. Doran was made head of a new Industrial alcohol bureau under the Treasury department. When William Howard Taft resigned as chief Justice of the Supreme court on February 3. only five days before his death. President Hoover named Charles Evans immediately him. The appointsucceed to Hughes ment was confirmee by the senate with 26 votes In opposition. Then Associate Justice Edward Terry Sanford passed away and Mr. Hoover picked Federal Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina to fill the vacancy. Labor and negro organizations rose In opposition and the senate rejected the nomlna tion by a rote of 41 to 39. The Presi dent then named Owen J. Roberts for the place and he was accepted. Prohibition and the Election. Prohibition as a political issue In creased in Importance as the months Litpassed. A poll ?onducted by the counthe that indicated erary Digest try was largely in favor of repeal of the Eighteenth amendment or at least of modification of the enforcement law. .The liquor question was a greal n campaign In factor in the many states and had a decided effect on the results when the people went to the polls on November 4. The voters of Illinois, Rhode Island and Massa chusetts in a referendum were agaMcst prohibition by large majorities. The election turned out to be very much of a landslide for the Demo cratlc party. The Republican major! ties In both senate and house were almost wiped out for the next congress, and many states and cities elected Democratic officials to replace Reoubllcans. Naturally the more rabid opponents of the administration saw in all this a severe rebuke for Presi dent Hoover and his policies; but sane opinion was that it was the nat ural result of unfortunate, economic conditions. '. With large appropriations available the farm board worked for the relief of agrk-ulturby promoting and fi and various nanclng later In the year undertook, with some success, to stabilize the price of wheat. which had fallen rapidly In all world markets. In this latter operation the board was forced to accumulate something like ItHl.(KHUKM) bushels of wheat, the future disposal ol which was an unsolved problem. Chairman Legge ot the board campaigned unceasingly for reduction of wheat acreage. Among the diplomatic appointments by the President were: itaipn ti Booth, minister to Denmark; Fred M. Hearing, ambassador to Peru; John N Willys, ambassador to Poland: Han ford W. MacNlder, minister to Canada; W. Cameron Forbes, ambassador to Japan; W. M. Jardine. minister to Egypt: Herman Bernstein, minister to Albania; Nicholas Roosevelt, minister to Hungary, and J. Reuben Clark, Jr., ambassador to Mexico. Taking of the fifteenth decennial census began on April 2. The final figures, announced In November, gave the population of the United States as 122,775,04. The Increase for the decade was about 10.1 per cent. On November 28. President Hoover appointed William N. Donk of Virginia secretary of labor to succeed James J- Davis, who had been elected senator from Pennsylvania. The short session of congress opened December 2, and the President's message was largely concerned with measures of relief. Following to a greal extent his recommendations, congress appropriated more than one hundred millions for an emergency construction program designed to aid the unemployment situation, and also set aside a large fund for loans to farmers who had suffered from the drought Mr. Hoover transmitted to the senate the revised protocols of the World court and asked early action on them. ,jfe-electio- ' e c former director of national or tngiana; parks; VUcount Eslier former senFelton.
