By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 20.-The tariff walls
of Europe are crumbling, John
OLeary. former president of the
United States Chamber of Commerce
and American delegate to the recent
economic conference in Geneva, told
the American Chamber of Commerce
of London at a luncheon today.
Such was the sentiment at the
Geneva conference, he declared. EXag-
gerated tariffs were created because of
the dislocation following the World
War and misunderstanding of the
benefits to be derived from correcting
this situation, but both reasons were
now removed.
Mr.. O'Leary declared. that the
United States had invested $500, 900
in Europe since the beginning of the
present year. During his speech he
congratulated England upon breaking
diplomatic relations with Soviet Rus
STA. He also referred to the Lind
bergh and Chamberlin-Levine flights
as useful in creating international
commercial good will.

police had picked up and found that
fits brokes did not comply with
existing regulations and that the
steering wheel had to be turned al

CIVIC CENTER IDEA
GAINING in FAVOR
Fine Arts Commission Pro-
poses Meeting to Discuss
D. c. Architects Plan.

Convinced that plan for Dis
trict of Columbia civic center pro
posed by Municipal Architect A. L.
Harris has considerable merit and
should have further study, the Ma
ttonal Commission of Fine Arts to-
day advised the District Commissions
ers that meeting TO discuss the civic
center can be arranged early in the
Autumn. Mr.. Harris submitted to
the fine arts body last month a plan
for a civic center bounded L.; Third
and Sixth streets, Pennsylvania, In
diana and Louisiana avenues. which
received lengthy consideration by the
commission. Under great pressure of
other business the fine arts body was
unable TO look into many of the de-
tails and suggested today that a con-
ference be arranged for the Fall on
the plan.
Included in the plan would be build
fngs to house several of the admins
trative departments of the District
government. the Police Court, Juve-
nile Court and other activities.
The letter sent today to the Dis
trict Commissioners. signed by
Charles Moore, commission chairman,
follows:
our letter OF June 1uth mas been
received. The Commission of Fine
Arts will be pleased indeed TO dis
cuss with the Commissioners Of the
District of Columbia the question of
q civic center. A meeting can be ar
ranged in the early Autumn for this
purpose.
Meantime the commission would
be pleased to receive from the Com
missioners a list of the District aCtiv-
titles to be accommodated in the Civic
Center. The commission suggest
that in studying the project the Com
missioners consider the extension of
Third and Fifth streets to Pennsyl-
wanna avenue.
1.-THE Commission of Fine Arts, at
their meeting on May 2Sth. discussed
the site suggested for the Civic Cen
ter in the plan submitted by Mr.. Har-
ris. and are convinced that it has
many possibilities in itself, and also
that it would aid materially the &c

COMFORT BECOMES IDOL
OF U. S., BISHOP WARNS
Right Rev. Samuel Babcock Booth
of Vermont Sees Increased
Religious Interest.

Comfort is fast becoming the idol
of the American people," Right Rev.
Samuel Babcock Booth, Bishop Coad-
jutor Of Vermont. warned in his SER
mon yesterday afternoon at the choral
evensong in Washington Cathedral.
Bishop Booth said that people are
striving for comfort in all relations
of life and that ease in living is fast
becoming necessity in this age. Man
must learn not to live by his desires
alone, the bishop pointed out, and
stressed that discomforts must often
be endured to accomplish spiritual
results.
That religion is becoming an increas-
ingly interesting subject was also as
serted by Bishop Booth.
More people, he said, 'are reading
religious literature, religion has be-
come popular theme on the stage
and there is a real undercurrent of
thought toward realization of the need
Of things partaking of the spiritual
life"
Bishop Booth deplored the forma-
ton Of modern cults of thought found
ed in many instances on the theory
that mankind must let it's passions
rule 1t and added that many so-called
religious people are being deceived by
these cults and theories.
