Senator Jame Ooureni of Michigan, the lone Republican In the delegation, delivered a significant speech before the monetary subcommittee In which he urged Immediate action to raise prices and lighten the debt burden aa a means of helping solve the world crisis. lie (aid, however, ttint be did not believe price could be raised sufficiently to bring about the proper equilibrium with the existing debt burden. While price must be raised and the debt burden lightened, Mr. Cous-en- i said, this must not be construed a an Invitation to debtors able to pay to scale down their Indebtedness. "Certainly It Is not an Invitation to default, he said. It emphasizes the necessity for organizing creditors throughout the world, of establishing some form of permanent body to act In an advisory capacity between organized creditors and organized debtors to try to find by what means the necessary adjustments may be brought about with the minimum of delay and Injustice. Mr. Couzens declared that the United States does not believe prices can be raised by monetary means alone. Purchasing power must also be Increased, he said, and America Is acting on that belief by Instituting the largest program of public works ever undertaken In the history of the world. t PRIME MINISTER MACDONALD about In desperate effort to save the conference, and after the meeting and pronuncla-mentof the gold bloc he had a talk with Georges Bonnet of France end then called Mr. Hull and other American delegates Into conference. He showed them that they would be held to blame If the parley failed, and the Americans resented what they considered to be an attempt thus to force President Roosevelt to alter his position that the dollar should Dot be stabilized until there has been a substantial rise In commodity prices and wages Mr. Hull In the United States. told MacDonald that the question of Immediate stabilization of currencies is beyond the Jurisdiction of the American delegation. Since Mr. Hull refused to do anything about Immediate currency stabilization, .he monetary subcommittee decided to report favorably on Senator Key Pittmans gold resolution, which provides, among other things, for withdrawal of the metal from circulation and reducing the gold coverage of central banks to 25 per cent It Inserted a statement that such monetary changes must not be taken as an excuse for unduly building np a larger superstructure of notes and credits. There was fear throughout Europe that the developments would compel all nations to abandon the gold standard, and this was given force by the announcement that Estonia had taken that step.

Another section of the Itichbcrg code was even mure drastic. It provided that the control of testimony to lie presented at the hearing will rest entirely with the deputy administrator. The deputy will call all witnesses, question all witnesses, tnd no question msy be asked by any one else without the consent of the deputy.

Wanted to e It pretty bad, but It dldent do any good. It was s piece called "Song of Song." It was dons I think by Pola Negri. In fart anything that any good has been dun from one to s hundred time In some shape or another. You ee w had the alien! picture, and they did every story under lbs sun, then along come the talkie, and that gave cm an excuse to do all tbe silent ores over. Generally wllh wbat they called younger scion, but Just because they wer young dldi-u-t nersary mean that they were better actor. In (act on the stage we tLwught that your talent grew with experience, that It you had had many years to your credit that you bad perhaps learned your trade, but In tbe movies, if yon were a good actor 6 or S year ago, that meant that you have forgot how to act by now, and that touts young girl that has just looked well In s bathing suit can outact you, and you must give way to her. Or that If Its a boy, and If he has curlier hair and looks nicer why naturally you must pass out. So as 1 say maby Marlene did this about one tenth as good as Pola Negri, (or whoever It wa that did It last) but youth must be looked at, talent be dashed. Well thats that Walter Wlncbell, the old boy that tells the stork where to go and when, be was out about ten day ago on our set. (Meaning at tbe place where we were taking movies). Well he Is s very surprising fellow, he small of statue, nice looking, well dressed, (as far aa I could judge) seemed awful pleasant, very modest, lookiug for information Instead of trying to give out any. 1 asked him how- - It was he knew when people were going to get mar- tji pre-vie- 1 ried, and when they were goiug lo be divorced. That that was not Is the regular medical routine. Well for Instance marriage. He said that he watched tbe divorces first, that was to give him the line on who was to be married. That there never was a divorce without at least a fifty percent marriage being In the offing. So he watched em before they was divorced to see who they would marry after the divorce. He says that marriage is a habit, and divorce is a nessaslty. Then of course the minute he finds out who Is marrying, it dont take a bit of thinking or figurelng on who will bo divorced. In fact ho seemed kinder astonished at me, that 1 was so dumb aa to no know who would be divorced. Why the ones that got Well as stupid as 1 am married. I bad never thought of that, but thats just what be does, he Just watches the marriages notices, and then announces the divorce from that. You see with the people that he writes about this record Is infallible. When they are married you take no chances on announcing their divorce, and when they are divorced you take no chances on announcing their marriage. Course you got to work on a certain class of people to do that, but that Is the class of people that he works on. Now I work on an entirely different, class of people. I work on politicians. Well they are not as mechanical as these that Walter works on. My hunch Is harder to figure. A politician just figures on a job. How can I make this job last, or how can I get anotherone? But with Winchells bunch its how long will this wife last and where will I get the next? Ones mind is centered on a wife and the other Is centered on a job. So every one of our businesses Is a racket and because Winchell can tell you who is going to have a baby and who Is going to be divorced, and who married. If he can and does do that quicker than I can tell who will be our next Senator, Govenor, Congressman, Its because be Is better posted than me. So all power to him. C 1933 McNsMfht SymdtcmU, lm$. |
