EXCHANGE SYSTEM WITH
NATIONS OF CENTRAL EUROPE

New York, June 1.-The exchange
system recently inaugurated between
the United States and the liberated
nations of central Europe through the
American relief administration is in
tended as merely a stepping stone to
establishment of permanent CONNER
cial relations" the fourth stage" in
the intervention of the American gov
ernment in Europe, according TO a
statement issued here tonight by Ed
gar Rickard joint director.
Asserting that many Misconceptions
had arisen concerning the nature and
operation of the exchange system, Mr.
Rickard gave the fundamental rea-
sons why the administration extended
its relief work to include transmission
of money.
'The Intervention of the American
government in Europe can be divided
into four distinct stages Mr.. Rickard
said.
First. armed intervention: second,
suggestion of peace terms which final
" led to the signing OF the Armistice:
third, supply OF relief to the liberated
countries; fourth, establishing of
commerce between the liberated ma
| tions and the outside world.
j Having drawn upon our stocks of
! food in America and placed these sup
! plies at the disposal of the liberated
| countries in order to meet their re-
! quirements until their own harvest
! became available, we shall not have
fulfilled our full obligations unless we
make some effort to re- establish COM
| merce.
| Foreigners in America are asked tc
! support this exchange system now as
! it represents the definite beginning Of
/ tinarcial connection between thi.
/ country and the liberated nations

modities and lead to definite trade re

NC. Planes Still in
Experimental Stage
None Has Been Built for a Di-
rect Flight Across the At
lantic.

Plymouth, June 1.-(By The A. P.)
A canvass last night. among the crews
of all the American navys n .C-boats
regarding the feasibility OF a direct
Atlantic flight by the N.C-4 developed
a wide divergence of opinion. No one
would say it was impossible or even
impractcable but there was general
agreement that much depended upon
the direction of the wind and that
there was greater prospect of success
in flying from Newfoundland to Ire
land than the reverse.
Lieutenant e. F. Stone, pilot of the
N.C-4, was positive no attempt would
be made TO fly home by way of Ireland
and Newfoundland He pointed out
that all the NC. planes are still in an
experimental stage and that none of
them was built for a direct Atlantic
fight. He thought the chance of d
favorable wind from this side was too
remote to make serious consideration
of the project possible.
Advocates of the plan contended
that if one or two members of the
crew were dropped. enabling the plane
to carry a greatly increased supply of
gasoline, there was an excellent chance
of success. They argued that the de-
stroyers used to aid this flight could
| ensure the safety of the crew even if
! the plane came to grief.
Lieutenant David II. McCulloch OF
| the N.C-3 saw no possibility of re-
| turn trip to Newfoundland calling at
| tention to the prevalence of fogs and
| icebergs and adding that only airmer
| could appreciate the difficulties thus
| presented.
| The opinions of the commanders ot
| the three planes were not available as
| they have been ordered to attend q
| conference at Paris at which it is ex-
pected the question will be thorough
| " discussed.
| The message of congratulation from
King George. forwarded through the
American embassy at London, said:
THE king wishes to congratulat,
His Excellency, the American ambas-
sador, on the safe arrival of the Amer.
lean seaplane and ask him if he viii
| convey his congratulations to MI
Daniels and the American navy"
The king sent Sir Charles Gust hi
equerry, personally to convey th
message. 1t was relayed to Presiden
Wilson at Paris.

Afghan main offensive against Thai
under General Nadir Khan, the amir's
commander in chief, is developing.
The latest official informa ton from
Simla, received on May 80 and 80,
Shows that all attacks on Fort Thai

3,i00 of the enemy near Thai. Their
camps We're effectively bombed.

displayed in the assault and capture.
The guns made breaches in the walls
and the fort was finally reduced by a
flanking frontal assault.
The garrison fought bravely but for
the most part We're killed or captured.
1t was the strongest fort in Afghanis-
tan, having thick outer walls and
bombproof shelters. Its fall has had a

LOCKOUT OF PRINTERS IN
BUENOS AIRES CONTINUES

Buenos Aires, June There were
no new DEVELOPMENTS today in the
lockout OF printers by the newspaper
publishers. The trouble grew out of
the strike of sewing girls. who were
joined by the department store en-
ployes, the latter charging that the
store owners were subiecting the sew
ing girls to sweatshop methods.
The printers refused to set the ad-
vertisements of a department store
which refused to meet the demand of
its striking employees for better work
ing conditions, and the publishers de-
clared a lockout. The store. a British
concern, was thereupon boycotted bv
all the trade unions. which charged
that the workers were being exploited
by foreign capital.
The conflict has renewed the gener-
al labor unrest, which apparently had
peen ouieted. The civilian vigilance
committees have been recalled to
guard duty. owing to a renewal of
rumors of impending disorders.
