Cutlery in Europe Believed Momentary,
While Opposition to Federation
Is Deep-Seated.

Germany's fiscal crisis, which this
week forced the resignation of the
finance minister, is regarded as an omi-
nous sign, coming as it does at the very
moment when the Rhineland is being
evacuated and all foreign restrictions
on Germany'S government financing
are being removed. Many hold that the
day is approaching with rapid strides
when the whole structure of European
finance, so painfully elaborated in the
IL years since the war, will break down.
The decline in American loans
abroad, the reductions in American i'm
portations and the diminishing num-
bers of American tourists, with a heavy
reduction in their average expenditures
In Europe, are rapidly causing bankers
to wonder where Europe will continue
to obtain the dollars for the payment of
her American war credits. Similarly,
Germany, with her unprecedented un-
employment, curtailed exports and un-
balanced budget, will soon be con-
strained. it is feared, to defer her
young plan annuities, and the vicious
circle Of defaults will begin
American Course Unknown.
What will America. as the sole cred
1tor, do? That question, which seemed
theoretical only few years ago, ap-
pears likely to become an extremely
practical one before long.
If the United States insists upon the
letter of her bond, then the European
federation will appear almost inevitable
and 1t will not be merely a customs
ring, as many now conceive it, but a
political and military alliance.
International bankers are losing sleep
nightly over these problems, nor are
their fears quieted by reflection that
times of crises are always the most
favorable for the propagation of revo-
lutionary ideas. The italian Fascists
seem convinced that the time is ap-
preaching when their remedy for boil
Shevism will be in world demand.
Critica Fascista this week published an
article. apparently approved in high

GREECE-On June 10 there was
signed Greco Turkish accord settling
the most vital matters in issue between
the two states. On the same day, ad-
dressing the Greek Chamber of Depu-
ties, Premier Venizelos spoke hopefully
Of the project of Balkan federation.
The restoration of the exquisite
Erechtheum at Athens by NJ. Balanos,
the Greek architect, in cooperation
with the eminent German archeologist,
Herr Doerfeld, two-thrids of the stone
used being antique, is reported to be a
glorious achievement. The work of re-
storing the Parthenon goes on apace
under the direction of M. Balanos. The
other day eight columns were erected
on the northern front, completing the
columnar restoration of that front.
INDIA.-I had proposed a narrative
of events in India since early May, but
on better judgment making, I relin-
quish the idea. Our trustworthy data
are too meager; its at best a vast, fan
taStic, kaleidoscope picture.
1t seems scarcely believable that the
progress of the civil disobedience"
movement, with its raid on salt pans,
its picketings of cloth and liquor shops,
its refusals to pay taxes, its monster
professions, its propaganda, its this and
that, has answered the expectations of
Mahatma Gandhi. The police and
soldiery seem to have behaved with
exemplary courage and extraordinary
restraint. They have fired only in the
last resort, then ordinarily using buck
shot and aiming low; the total of
deaths and serious injuries is small
On the whole, the Moslems have shown
themselves loyal to the British Raj.
There have been bloody Moslem- Hindu
clashes requiring intervention by SOL
diers and police; the regular thing,
only more so. The bloodiest episode Of
all-the lurid Rangoon affair-had no
connection whatever with the Gandhi
movement. The relation between the
disorders in the northwest frontier
province and the Gandhi movement is
tenuous. The Pathans, of whom the
most prominent is gentleman hight,
the Hail of TurangZai, have naught in
common with the Hindus merely; they
see in the general unrest opportunity
to satisfy their lust for plunder and
blood, and they are obviously worked
upon by propaganda from Bombay
and Moscow. AS to Moscow, there is

The royal air force is kept busy pro-
tecting Peshawar from the Pathans and
the Red Shirts. The other day q con-
siderable body of Afridis, misled by
propaganda, crossed the border from
! Afghanistan, but the airmen bombed
'em back through the passes. The zeal
of the tribeSmen seems fairly refrig-
Grated.
1t will be recalled that upon the in
generation of Gandhi active leadership
of the civil disobedience movement

ess, who is pleased to call herself an
Indian Joan of Arc. On May 81 the
Indian Joan got herself Jailed and the
leadership passed to ". T. Patel, who

quently served as a minister. How
strange" he said, tell me how that
happens" So related this little in
cident.
I was sent to Alaska in command of
a cutter, and was appointed a United
States commissioner for the TERRITORY.
This commission qualified me to marry
either whites or natives. One morning
while my vessel was lying alongside the
dock at small village, Johnny Nc
Bride and Lotta Fish came on board
and asked to be married I was very
much taken back, for had never per-
formed wedding before. But I told
them to return in an hour with two wit
nesses and I would perform the cere-
mony. I searched our library for a
prayer book and read over the marriage
service many times. When the white
couple returned made out the neces-
Sary papers and performed the cere-
mony. AS this was my first experience
as minister, was very proud Of 1t
and invited the wedding party to dinner
in the cabin that night. Shortly after

States"
Six months expired, and learned
that Mcbride had left his wife to follow

I heard that he was bigamist and had
deserted his first wife and 3-week-
old baby in the South. Another six
months expired and he was in San
Quentin prison for robbing a United
States post office in Western town. All
Of my egotism left me.
My friend in the Pullman smoker was
SO interested and so sympathetic that
decided to tell him of a native marriage
that took place in Alaska. One day
while at anchor of St. Paul Island
which is one of the Pribilof sea islands
in the Bering Sea, was called on deck.

Cites German Reaction.
In Germany even the Socialist lead
ers have widely declared no European
union could be formed If the present
regime of inferiority between the VIC
torious and vanquished nations were
maintained. Voices have arisen to claim
the Danzig Corridor and a rearmament
OF the German state. The greatest
hostility against the idea of a European
federation is expected to come from
Italy, which is showing extraordinary
activity in reorganizing what is called in
diplomatic circles here "a trust of the
diScontented," whereas until now Italian
overtures to Germany with a view to

not been met with particular favor in
Berlin.
Hungary's government is known to
have almost thrown its lot into 1taly's
hands. The relations between the two
countries, which are both ready to fight
for the present status quo, are so close
that they could be called a practical
military and economic alliance. ANY
visitor to Count Bethlen's house could
see in his salon an enormous portrait of
II Duce with his signature, "Devotis-
simo, Benito MusSolini"
1t is understood here that, stimulated
by Italian support, the Hungarian gov
eminent intends to include In the reply
to Brands memorandum a sentence
saying, Hungary will not join any
organization based on the present status
quo" If such points are raised from
the beginning of the concrete work aim
ing at federating of Europe 1t NAV
easily be foreseen what immense diff
culties BRAND will find in his way.
But the veteran statesman does not
fear difficulties. He has COPIED with
many before the signature of the
Locarno treaty and the Kellogg pact.
He Is confident now, despite all the
obstacles that may arise, that the germ
OF his idea, helped by American protec-
tionism, will develop and grow to give
some day, which perhaps he will not
even witness, useful and abundant fruit.

seemed ahead of us. But we rigged an
ice pillow on the bow of the launch, and
the ships doctor and myself started
Shoreward with a whale boat in tow.
Slowly but surely we worked up the
frozen bay, and found our charges on
the dock. An hour was lost in collecting
personal belongings, then back to the
little white ship. One of the woman
passengers said that they had prayed

and we were lost in the Arctic Ocean.
T thought of what the lady had said
about God, but never lost faith in the
good ship that had fought in the war
zone from the beginning to the end
without scratch. And finally we made
the Bering Sea successfully, and con-
tinued on to Nome, bringing the storm
with us. The last steamer had been
held from sailing, and our mission was
Q success.
That was only one of the many mis-
sions that the Coast Guard has under
taken and concluded successfully on the
Alaska patrol. It's work in these far
away regions and the benefcence of its
n1inistrations to the native population
form bright chapter in the history Of
the service.
Fleet Protects Seal and Otter.
It is to enforce the convention Of 1911
between the United States, Great
Britain, Russia and Japan that the
Coast Guard annually sends a feet Of
vessels into Alaskan waters and the
Arctic Ocean. This convention was for
the protection of the fur seal and the
sea otter and the enforcement Of the
laws and regulations for the protection
of game, the fisheries and fur bearing
animals of Alaska.
But while engaged in these duties the
Coast Guard also finds time to furnish
transportation to government officials
and local authorities, school teachers,
destitutes, natives and others; it trans
ports the United States mails; it delivers
food and other supplies to the isolated
settlements; 1t succors persons in need:
1t assists vessels in distress; it provides
medicine and medical treatment for ma
tives, and 1t administers the laws Of the

want the nomination again. He is a
generous man-generosity, playing the
game" has been part of the cause of
his political career. And there is a call
on his generosity which runs in favor of
present Gov. Franklin Roosevelt of New
York. Mr.. Roosevelt to the endan9er-
ing OF his health in 1928, lived I'D to a
request from Gov. Smith that Roose-
velt should run for Governor of New
York on the same ticket with Smith as
a candidate for President, with the pur-
pose Of strengthening the ticket In New
YORK state. That is the sort Of service
OF friendship that Gov. Smith repays.
And the friendly attitude of Gov. Smith
Is but one OF several factors which work
powerfully toward making Gov. Roose-
velt the next Democratic candidate for
the Presidency.
Yet is Is by no means certain. The
drys in the Democratic party are more
powerful and determined than New
YORK City thinks. New York has never
at any time given to the drys in the
Democratic South adequate credit for
the sincerity the drys actually feel, In
the nl-fated 1924 Democratic national
convention that was held in New York
City, the Democratic press of New York,
the Tammany followers in the galleries
OF the convention, and the whole atmos-
phere of the city, took the view that
the dry delegates from the South and
West were merely stubborn hicks" de-
priving New York City's hero, Gov.
Smith, Of nomination to which New
York thought he was entitled, which
New York City felt absolutely he would
get. The sincerity of the South, its
patience and courage that would hold
out In hostile atmosphere for nearly
three weeks, was never understood by
New York.
Attitude of South.
The Democratic South does not think
OF Gov. Roosevelt as a violent wet. But
they think of him as a New Yorker. as
one having the favor of Tammany. and
as necessarily, therefore, to put it in
the mildest way, long distance from
dry. 1t Is quite possible for the South
ern drys to have candidate of their
own and to stand behind him with as
much f1rmneSs as they did In 1924
There are at least three leaders who
could I'LL this role for the Democratic
drys Of the South and West. OF the
three it is probably safe to say that
Senator Joseph Robinson of Arkansas
is farthest to the front. The elevation
OF Senator Robinson's status in public

generally as Washington realizes 1t. Ter

So I told him to come on board at

Coast Guard.
After a days run we made fast to

Late that afternoon I was walking
through this village, which has 300
natives and about a dozen whites, and
I saw my passenger. He was looking
pretty sad, but he was still on the
lookout for prospective brides. Two
days later Peter came on board and
asked to see me. He had Caught" a
wife. She turned out to be a big,
healthy girl, about Is years old, from
the Jessie Lee Home. Peter asked me
to come to the wedding at O'Clock
the next morning, and said that he and
his wife would be on board by 8 O'Clock
to sail for the seal islands. They were
married by a Methodist minister, who
was superintendent of the mission.
PeCer was q Greek Cathol1c, but his
bride had turned Methodist.
We sailed on time, the bride occupy
ing the ships carpenter shop as a
bridal chamber, while the groom was
relegated to the crews quarters. Up
in these Northern lands the accepted
religion for the native Is Greek Catho-
lie, and they feel that a native is not
properly married unless by a priest
Consequently we arranged and held
another wedding the following day.

We stopped at st. Paul's Island. While
I was being rowed ashore I recognized

he pulled his oar in the oomiak. It was
Peter Grow. He was still living with
his wife and asked me to come and see
his fine children. So this time the
marriage was not failure.
