Ramsay MacDonald Coming
i to Washington for World
Peace Conference.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
R AMSAY MAC DONALD, new prime
minister of Great Britain, is
planning to come to the United States
to confer' with President Hoover, 1
In regard to naval armament re
daction and enforcing the Kellogg
pact outlawing war by joint action of
the English speaking peoples. In
Washington the news of this plan was
well received, nnd It was learned at
the White House that Mr. Hoover
would be glad to meet Mr. MacDonald
and discuss with him questions of mu-
tural Interest to their two countries.
American Ambassador Dawes, on Ills
way to England, was apprised of this
.development by radio and almost Im
mediately after bis arrlvnl In London
lie went to Scotland .for a conference
with the prime minister who was tak
ing a ten days’ vacation at Ids home
In Lossiemouth. Mr. Dawes was ex-
a brief time. But Senator Watson,
mujority leader, expressed the belief
that the tariff bill could not be Anally
acted upon until Just before the reg

matter of early evacuation of the
Rhineland. Aristide Brlnnd, Frencli
foreign minister, proposed that an In
ternational conference be held this
Summer for the handling of all out
standing questions left over from the
war, and this was agreed to by Dr. j

guess In London was that the trip
would be made about the end of July
after the session of parliament ad
journs.
According to London corespond
ents, Mr. MacDonald snid: “If Presi
dent Hoover Invites me to Washing
ton I am going to answer T will go.'
1 shall hope to settle this question of
Anglo-American relations once and
for all." It was asserted he hopes to
carry the discussion much further
than naval subjects. He believes the
world Is entering on an era of great
Industrial and financial combines
whose boundaries will cut across all
national frontiers, ami he Is desirous
of a discussion on economic co-operu-
tlon and avoidance of cut-throat com
petition In foreign markets. Mr. Mac
Donald, as a Socialist, welcomes the
welding of Industry Into trusts nnd.
sees no objection to the spread of
trusts In the International Held under
proper governmental control.
J UST when It appeared that the
farm relief bill ns doctored up by
the house and senate conferees and
approved by the President had clear I
■ailing, the senAte messed things all
np by rejecting the conference report
by a vote of 43 to 46 because the ex
port debenture fenture had been elim-
' Inated. In this step the Democrats
were joined by 13 Republicans, nil
listed as radicals except Couzens of
Michigan. The debenture advocates
not only stood by their scheme, hut
they were especially determined to
forge the house to go on record on
this fenture of the measure.
President Hoover immediately enlled
leaders of the house nnd senate to
the White House and a program was
agreed upon. This was to send the^
bill back to conference ns the senate
asked, and to have the conferees
agree on their original report, after
which It was expected the house
would reject the debenture plan by a
comfortable margin and necept the
conference report. There nppenred to
be no doubt that the senate also would
adopt the report of the conference
after the house had rejected the de
benture by n vote of 250 to 113.
The most Interesting feature of the
affair was the outspoken threat of
Senator Brookhart of Iowa that a
third or “progressive” party would
enter Into the congressional campaign
next year and the Presidential cam
paign of 1032 If the debenture were
not Included In either the farm bill or
the new tariff bill. He asserted the
’President rather than the senate was
to blame for delays In obtaining farm
legislation.
Tariff hearings were begun by the
senate flnnnce committee, and Senator
Wesley Jones told the senate this
work should be speeded up with a view
to completing the enactment of the
legislation early In the fall, and there
fore congress should recess for only
French Socialists In convention nt
Nancy declared In favor of the Y’oung
reparations plan, evacuation of the
Rhineland nnd immediate ratification
of the Mellon-Beranger accord for the
payment of the French debt to the
United States. Certain of the United
.States senators led by Howell of Ne
braska have attacked the Young plan
us “another move by the allies nnd
the International bunkers" to cancel
not only the war debts but also the in
terest on the allied obligations to
America. Administration leaders nnd
State department officials asserted
nothing In the Young settlement would
affect the war debts owed the United
States, J. P. Morgnn, one of the
.American experts, declared on arrlvnl
In New York thnt the bank for Inter
national settlements, to be established
Under the Young plan, would he the
greatest instrument for the preservu
tlon of world peace jet devlscfd.
P RESIDENT HOOVER, because he
used to be secretary of commerce,
was especially interested in the cere
mony of laying the cornerstone of the
magnificent new Department of Com
merce building. Surrounded by many
other high government officials, he
wielded the trowel that was used by
President Washington in laying the
cornerstone of the Capitol 130 yenrs
ago, nnd In his address he said the
event marked the emergence of the
Commerce department Into full ma
turity mid service. The building will
be the largest single public structure
In Washington and In Its actual floor
space will be the largest office build
ing in the world. It Is to be the
most important structure In the gov
ernment’s $115,000,000 program for
public buildings In the city of Wash
ington.
N EARLY every dny the quick
shooting enforcers of prohibition
furnish more ammunition for the foes
of Volsteadlsm. Last week they killed
an apparently Innocent citizen at In
ternational Falls, Minn., and a young
man nt Detroit whose companions ad
mit he nnd they hnd been trying to
run a boatload of liquor from Can-
uda. Drys in congress took the op
portunity to denounce the activities
of prohibition officers and Representa
tive Clancy of Michigan demanded an
Investigation of the Detroit case, but
after a trip to that city he snld the
shooting was justified. Representa
tive Florence Kahn of California In
troduced n bill In the house directing
the treasury to pay $25,000 to the
dependents of every person “wanton
ly or negligently kllfed by any pro
hibition officer not acting In self de
fense." Other congressmen urged
that, the treasury forbid the use of
firearms by dry agents, but Seymour
Lowman, assistant secretary of the
treasury In chnrge of all prohibition
enforcement ngencies, said this could
not be done. He declared that, agentl
this the big rum runners of - the
Great Lakes met In Eeorse and laid
plans to operate in unison. They
adopted a shuttle system whereby
traffic will he diverted to Lake Erie
or Lake Huron when the enforcers
are concentrated on the Detroit river
and they also have devised an elub
orate Intelligence system and began
buying larger and better boats.

T HREE United States district
judges sitting en banc In Chicago
found the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana and fifty-one associated con
cerns guilty of violating the Sherman
antitrust act by pooling their
called “oil cracking" processes. The
decision which granted the govern
ment a permanent Injunction restrain
ing the defendant companies from fur
ther violations of the luw, came after
more than four years’ litigation. In
the original suit, filed In 1925. the
government claimed the defendants
conspired to restrain trade nnd ere-
ate a monopoly by refusing Independ
ent concerns the right to use their
Burton “cracking” process, used to
extract gasoline from crude oil. In
defense the Standard of Indiana held
that the process had been of vast
benefit to consumers and had mate
rially lowered the price of gasoline.
T HREE Swedish aviators started to
fly from Stockholm to New York,
but a broken gas feed pipe forced
them to land on the coast of Ice
land. They got their plane to lteyk

by rough weather. The aviators,

trade route between Europe and
America.

Washington, June 13.—Mrs. Oscar
DePriest, wife of the negro repre
sentative from Illinois, was a guest
ut the tea given last Wednesday at
the White House by Mrs. Hoover,

egraphic account of Mrs. Hoover’s
tea, attended by the wife of Oscar
DePriest, Illinois congressman. The
article is credited to a negro press
servee.
How the people of the South will
take to it, even those who supported
Mr. Hoover, is entirely another mat
ter.

at the White House on the afternoon
of June 12, when Mrs. Hoover, enter,

honor of the wives and relatives of

“Mrs. DePriest wore a charming
afternoon ensemble of the loveliest
pale blue georgette. The simplicity
of the costume was relieved only by
a beautiful rhinestone buckle, on the
left side of the finely plented skirt.A
coat, the shortest of jackets, complet
ed the costume.
“She wore a large hat of rosygray
hair braid, trimmed with a cluster
handcut dove, ray velvet leaves
and a velvet rose placed modishly on
the underbrim, framed her face be
comingly. She carried a lovely bag
which matched her hat, rosy gray
water snake slippers and a large
pointed fox scarf.
“Mrs. DePriest was graciously re
ceived, both by Mrs. Hoover and the
ladies of the cabinet, who, as usual,
assisted in entertaining.

a heavy vellum card, carrying the
White House insignia, and read:

requests the pleasure of the company
of
Mrs. DePriest
on Wednesday afternoon,
June 12th
at 4 o’clock.”

She said Dr. Spears was drinking
and became infuriated, accusing her
of accepting the attentions of anoth

“Soda” Doubles Corn Yield
On the average upland soils ot the
Cotton Belt, there Is no better guar
anty ot a good crop than an appliea-
ation of 100 to 200 pounds per acre
of Chilean nitrate of soda when the
com Is about knee-high. Such side-ap-
plicatlons generally double and fre
quently treble or even quadruple the
yield of corn. This is so, because
quickly available nitrogen Is the great
need of corn on nearly all Southern
soils, and this need Is best supplied by
Chilean nitrate of soda, the great nat
ural nitrogen-carrier. Its effect In
keeping corn a dark, bluish green
through periods of hot. dry weather
is remarkable, and, once used, no corn j
grower is ever again satisfied without
it.
