servations while abroad, he was convinc-
ed that Europe in the last year had TAX
en- great step forward. Pointing out
the effectiveness of the Dawes plan in
the sterilization of currency. he said:
"Thcre is nothing of greater import
ance to the American than that Europe
and in fact al 1.-The world, should go back
70 the gold basis. Fluctuations in cur
rencies make it impossible to carry on
commerce and as the United States
always has been on gold basis. it is
good to have the whole world on that
basis.
Mr. Kellogg declined to discuss the
proposed Washington arms conference.
He said. however that he had not
brought back with him any plan for
the limitation Of armaments. Referring

Kansas City, Mexico and Orient rail
way, property in the southwest which
has been in receivership for several
years, has again been awarded by the

cation upon a renewed appliation OF the
Orient the commission modified slight
ly its original award but again held that
the Orient railroad was entitled to an
increased division of the joint rates and
