Auction Sale

The auction sale yesterday was the
best yet and everybody had big
time. The "blind packages" which
fascinate the ladies 80 thoroughly,
were up to the usual standard and
numbers of nationally advertised"
articles were eagerly bid in.
The auctioneers enjoyed the sales
as much as the audience and some
funny jokes were pulled on the men,
who, by the way have had very little
part in this auction.
The sales at 3 and p. M, guar
antee house full and everybody is
getting their moneys worth in mer-
chandise and fun.

WANTS AMERICA
!. in ACTIVE ROLE

Cannes, Jan. 2 (By the Associated
Press).-The plan of David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister,
for an economic rejuyenation of Eu-
rope and the results of the meetings
in Paris by bankers and business men
of the allied cuntries were outlined
to George Harvey, the American am
bassador, today by Sir Laming
neutrality-suspicious., the British Sec
retary for war.
The Associated Press is informed
from a reliable source that Sir Lam
ing made it clear that Great Britain
regarded the participation by the
United States as one the essentials
if the consortium proposed in Paris
is to succeed. Mr.. Harvey is UNDER
stood to have replied that the United
States will not make known it's posi-
ton until the plan is formally
brought up before the supreme coun-
ell.
In British circles, the expectation is
that Mr. Harvey will actively partic-
ipate in the econmoic discussions at
the supreme council. .iS,s IL
London, Jan. 2.-On the eve Of his
departure for Cannes to take part in
the meeting of the supreme council,
Premier BRAND gave "a statement to
The Daily Mails correspondent in
Paris, the gist of which follows:
"The key. to the whole European
situation is Frances safety. Let
there first of all be pact or alliance
between Great Britain and France
q pact which we offered and asked
for, but have not obtained.
4 Such a pact would be the plat
form on which the reconstruction of
Europe could best be based. 1t
would also be the best proof that
our naval building program is not,
and never can be, directed against
our English friends.
TO such a pact other alliances eni-
bracing our other allies might be at
tached, perhaps in the form. Of the
Pacific pact. But a Franco Brftish
pact must be- the kernel basis Of
them ALL" ss
