DAWES TO NEGOTIATE
FOR AMERICA ON PLANS
Next Step Would Be Extension of
Formal Invitation by Presi-
dent Hoover.
BY the Associated Press.


A visit of Prime Minister MacDon-
aid of Great Britain to the United
States to discuss Anglo American rela-
tions, including naval arms reduction.
would be greatly welcomed by the
American Government.
Charles G. Dawes, the new American
Ambassador to London, will arrive in
England Friday and will acquaint him
self with the proposed visit of Premier
Macdonald. and, if it is to be made
will take charge Of the discussions on
behalf of the American Government
President Hoover was said to know
nothing about the proposed visit of
the British Prime Minister to this
country except what he has read In
press dispatches.
Sir Esme Howard, the British Ambas-
sador, had an engagement late today
with Secretary StlmSon at the State
Department. but it was said at the
embassy the discussions primarily
would not concern reports of Premier
MacDonald's visit.
The opinion was expressed in diplo-
nldblC CucIeS tnaG II Mr. Macdonald,
who has so far made no announcement
about an American trip. really intended
to visit the United States, he might
consider the published reports as suf-
dcient without sounding out the Ameri-
can Government through diplomatic
sources.
In that case diplomatic circles be-
heved the next step might be the ex-
tension by President Hoover of formal
invitation.

L. NJ. Biron, patron of Grace Chapter,
No. 106, order OF Eastern Star, of At

chapters had resolved to withdraw from

day in secret session to organize the
"AIl-Around Social Club" an order
which, like the Eastern Star, would ad-
nit only close relatives of Master Ma

The withdrawal, he said, was the re-
suit of the adoption three years ago OF a
ritual requirement which made the Or
der of Eastern Star strictly Christian
instead of non-sectarian."
Ten thousand members in New Jer-
sey who profess the Jewish and other
faiths, he added, "can have no other
alternative than to withdraw from the
order"

LONDON, June IL CP).-Premier Mac
Donald's projected visit to the United
States for personal discussion with
President Hoover of various questions
affecting the two countries is now
regarded in diplomatic circles as a
definite probability.
It was stated today that the Laborite
prime minister was only awaiting an
official invitation to make the journey
It has now become known that STAN
ley Baldwin, Conservative premier, had
received and accepted an invitation to
visit the United States before he went
out of Office last week.
English newspapers generally have
commented favorably upon the proposed
visit. An editorial expression in the
Daily Telegraph was typical: IF the
suggestion has been allowed 70 tranSpire

from custom would meet nothing but

News Given Big Display.
All papers gave their stories of the
proposed visit big display and carried
suggestions Ambassador Dawes might
bring with him an invitation to the
prime minister to make the visit.
The visit especially attracted atten-
ton in diplomatic and political circles.
Newspapers reported a. widespread
favorable popular action
MIR. Macdonald is expected to await
1F (1f.z ~
Dawes, to learn President Hoover's per-
sonal views, before doing anything de-
cisive.
The premier's idea is to go to Ameri-
ca in August or September, II the visit
should be decided upon and proves ac-
ceptable to Washington. In those
months Parliament will be in its Sum
mer recess.
Mr.. Macdonald already had announc-
ed that ahe hoped to visit Geneva for
the meeting of the League Assembly IN
September SO it may be assumed that
the Washington trip would precede that
to Geneva.
Plans May Be Changed.
It should be emphasized, however
that all these plans still are dependent
upon circumstances and may be changed

Blind Workers Costly

VIII Help--The Bosses

WASHINGTON (By MaiD.-Bill
Green is interested in blind workers.
We knew that before, of course, as
if the workers who are members of
the A. F. of L. could only see Red
instead of Green, there would be an
executive council in about year
that would represent the interests of
labor and not the interests of the
employers.
This is spoken advisedly, as the
way Green is interested in blind
workers is as follows: The A. F. of
L. has united with the National So
ciety for the Prevention of Blind
ness, to campaign against blindness
caused by preventable industrial
hazards. But why? For the work
ers benefit? Far be it from such!
Green does it, quite frankly, for the
employers. He says:
"The industries of this country are
at present paying approximately
$10,000,000 compensation to work
men who have been blinded while at
work." So Green rushes in to save
the bosses this heavy expense. Nice
labor" leader.

"END OF ST. PETERSBURG
AT CAMEO TOMORROW.

With it's Cameo Theatre showing
bringing it to Broadway for yet an
other run, it may be well to review
the reason for the astounding sue
cess of "The End of st. Petersburg"
as a picture. Powerful in theme,
marvelously directed and acted,
"The End of ST. Petersburg" is
unique among film productions-the
triumph of intellect and artistry. 1t
paints in broad, bold and vigorous
strokes the most absorbing period of
Russian history-the first stage
leading up to the revolution that
startled the world.
The veil of mystery that shrouded
Russia is torn asunder at last in
this screen opus of epic proportions.
The actual causes that contributed
to the upheavel of Czarist Russia
are limned as clearly as human
memory can do with such things.
The rebellion of some millions of
souls is shown with that realism
that has come to be associated with
art from our neighbors in Soviet
Russia. And attention to individual
highlights throughout add to the eff
fectiveness of this panoramic drama.
For colorful, exotic, saga-like stories
nothing that men have ever imagined
can be reckoned with this stagger-
ing story of nation which deals
with actual truth. The film was
produced by Sovkino.
