Rome Newspaper Considers Franco
 Belgian Farley Move in The
 Wrong Direction.

Rome, April 30. -- The Corriere Itnliano today regrets that the first effort toward putting the reeommen- datfons Of the Dawes report into ef- feet, inc meeting of tho French and Belgian premiers on Monday, was rather stop backward"
 The newspaper says that Premier poincsre in his first contact with tho other allied premiers Suggests ap- parentlv only measures to prevent ap- plication of the project or any altera- ton of the French policy" Ii sums up the differences between Premier Poincare and Premier Theunis and de- ares.
 Belgium, in fact, desires an imme- Giate and whole application of the Dawes report while France only d. slres its sabotage. Belgium, which must consider the Francophobe Elem isli element, realizes that parlyzed ond dismembered Gerinany would mean an all-powerful France. an en- croaching neighbor and an overbear- ing friend. Belgium also hopes that application Of the experts recommen- da'ions will assist in bettering the bad state or Belgian finances"

INTERNATIONAL PEACE .
 IS MACDONALD'S HOPE
British Prime Minister Trusts Anoth- ,'
 CT Year Will Show Great
 Progress.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 London, April 30.-Prime Minister Macdonald in his May Day message to labor and the socialist movement, made public today. expresses the hope that another May, Day will see the League of Nations transformed into ''an all-embrocing parliament of peo- plcs' and predicts the coming of a day of international peace.
 The message follows:
 Tt is a greater pleasure than ever this year 10 send May Day greeting to all our comrades of labor and the so- cialist movement at home and abroad. The day of international peace which we celebrate in our May Day is as- suredly coming. The nations. tired of conflict and disillusoned of their war hatred and war mentality, are seek ing new paths that make for friend ship and security.
 My fervent hope is that by another May Day the League of Nations may become an all-embracing parliament of peoples, and I venture 10 think that nothing could more. fittingly mark that great achievement than the first law of the league should by common consent set aside May Day in every land as festival day of world friend ship--a day solemn with the remem- brances of the utilities Of ancient feuds and vital with high hopes for that great human companionship for which mankind is destined''

JAIL SENTENCES
 ONLY DETERRENT
Thompson Says This Alone Will
 Stop Price Fixing

Washington, April so.--Chairman Thompson of the federal trade com- mission was questioned by the Daugh- erty committee again today regard ing antitrust prosecutions which the trade commission sought to have the department of justice institute against lumber interests.
 Evidence against the Southern Pine association which the trade commissioned gathered. Mir. Thomp- son said, was considered by Henry $. Mitchell, assistant 10 former Attorney General Daugherty, tc be stronger than that assembled against the trade associations which were successfully proceeded against in court.
 The witness also was questioned at length regarding conditions in the farm implement industry, which the commission investigated some years ago. He said criminal prosecutions were recommended, and gave it as his opinion that in this as in a num- ber of other industries jail sentences alone could put an end to price fixing and illegal combination.
 By investigations beginning back in 1919, Mir. Thompson said, ihe trade commission had determined that three associations Of farm machinery and several associations of dealers in implements, participated in activities which led 10 a recommen- dation 10 the department of justice in September. 1920, for action under anti-trust laws. No steps were taken by the department of justice. how ever. he said. until 1923.
 Rapid price increases in the ln- dustry were found. the witness de- clared. and he agreed with Chairman Brookhart that the situation had con- tinued until farmers ceased buying.
 Paul Howland. attorney for Mir. Daugherty, suggested that A. Mitchell Palmer was attorney general when the implement matter first came up. Mir. Thompson agreed.
 The 1923 action was solely directed a gainst the International Harvester asking its dissolution, and was a civil matter.
 There isn't any doubt in your mind that the real thing demanded in these matters is criminal prosecution and jail sentcnces7" Senator Wheeler asked.
 My idea is that the imposition Of iail sentences" Chairman Thompson "after criminal prosecution. Is the only thing that will change tho attitude of the business world today owards price fixing"
