FAIRFAX, Va, Dec. AT the
December meeting the Fairfax
county board Of supervisors de-
clared itself without power to
act on the petition presented by
residents of Seminary community
requesting that some remedy be
found for abating the nuisance
caused by unpleasant odors com
I ing from the large hog farms in
that vicinity.
A large delegation from Semi
nary was informed that unless the
public health board could declare
the situation a menace to health
their only recourse would be to
take the complaint to the chan
Gerry court for damages.
Owners PrOffer Aid
Several owners of the hog farms
were at the meeting and stated
that they would be glad to comply
with any reasonable requests. 1t
was suggested that the garbage
collected in Washington might
be fed on concrete platforms and
that if these were thoroughly
cleaned daily the bad odors would
stop.
Careful consideration was given
to the petition of the newly es-
tablished county board of public
welfare for financial assistance.
Representatives stated that the
main work of the probation off
Ger is to prevent juvenile delin-
Quency and to dispense funds
for the relief of the county poor,
as well as to correlate all the
social work of the county to pre-
vent waste of funds and efforts
and to insure that all needy cases
are given competent attention.
It was emphasized that with
the change in the status OF the
county from rural to suburban,
the need for such social work
would steadily increase.
Praised by Judge
Both Judge A. C. Ritchie, of
the juvenile court, and Sheriff
E, P. Kirby stated that Mrs. Leon
Manghum, newly appointed pro,
baton officer, had been Of great
help to them in their work with
juveniles and urged that the
county authorities take definite
steps to provide funds to continue
the work which is now done on
q volunteer basis.
The supervisors replied how,
ever, that under the present fl
nancial system, with the budget
made up a year in advance of
the date when funds become
available there is no immediate
way in which funds can be pro-
vided for this work. There is a
possibility, however, according to
some authorities that a small
sum for travelling expenses may
be obtained from funds allotted
for relief of the poor. 1t is pos
sible that a public subscription
will be made to support this
work until county support is avail
able.

PEACE "DAMPER' EXPLAINED.
Sudden Action Of British Cabinet Il
Revealed for First Time.

Sudden Action Of British Cabinet Is
Revealed for First Time.
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.
BY Cable to The Star.
PARIS, November SIT is now pos
Sible to reveal, owing to q partial indis-
erection of the Echo de Paris, what here
tofore has been a strict secret known
only to a few diplomats and one or two
journalists-the story of the British
cabinet meeting which put q sudden
damper OIL the supposed results of the
conversati ms between President Hoover
and Premier Ramsay Macdonald at
Rapidan.
It will be recalled that an announce
ment was made at the close of those
meetings that an important statement
was about to be made. British Jour-
naliSts went so far as to announce that
this statement would concern the free
dom Of the seas. 1t is certain, in fact,
that Hoover and Macdonald had reached
a tentative agreement on this vexed
question. The exact details are I'M
known, for Macdonald will not give q
detailed explanation to his cabinet un-
til tomorrow.
Great Britain's OFFER.
But whatever the American contribu-
ton to the bargain may have been, It
appears that Great Britain's offer was
to abandon the right of search and
seizure of neutral vessels carrying con-
traband on the high seas and TO dis
mantle naval bases not only in .he West
Indies, but at Halifax and ESouimalt.
Before issuing the joint statement,
however. Macdonald thought it best to
inform London.
A full cabinet meeting was irnmedi-
ately called, including the heads of the
three f1ghting arms, on air, land and
sea.
Arthur Henderson read the premier's
cablegran and added that he would
be unable to agree to abandon the
right to search and seizure until he
knew more details OF the views of the
United States.
Alexander speaking for the admiralty.
said that he was unable to agree to
the diSmantling of the bases which, in
his opinion, If the Kellogg pact meant
anything, would be quite unnecessary.
Big Naval Budget.
Questioned by Philip Snowden. chan
cellor of the exchequer, Alexander said
that even after the agreement with the
United States the naval budget, now
about $3.50, 200, 900 would still be around
$265 200, 900 or $270,00 900.
After this discussion it was decided
to cable Macdonald to say nothing
about these matters until after he re-
turned to London and gave the cabinet
fuller particulars.
Thus is explained not only the de-
lay in issuing the Hoover and Mac
donald Joint statement, but the general
surprise, after so much was promised.
that it should contain so little in the
way OF concrete promises.

SYSTEM CREDITED.
IN AVERTING CRASH
Situation in Wall Street Held
Similar to Money Crisis
of 1907 and 1908.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Credit again is given in oflcial Wash
ington to the Federal reserve banking
system for what Is regarded by those
who have analyzed the situation a. the
isolation of the recent financial crisis
TO the stock market itself.
The present situation is likened in
these quarters to that of 1907-OS. with
the difference that then the crisis ex-
tended to the business and financial
fabric of the country because there was
no Federal reserve system to intervene
to keep down interest rates when large
quantities of capital were withdrawn
from the speculative centers.
AS viewed in official circles, the ulti-
mate result OF the recent phenomenon
of the stock market will be the release
of capital in large quantities for the
bond and mortgage market and the Gre
alton of a considerable reserve for gen.
eral business.
1t was explained that many States
and municipalities have been holding
up their bonds because of an inability
to Obtain. what we're regarded AS fair
prices, and that with the general wave
of speculation diminished more advan-
tageous markets for these securities
would be presented, with an extension
in public improvements and q conSe-
quently increased market Ior laDor.
