Secretary Of State, Henry L. Slim.
son marks an important date in
international relations" Foreign
Minister Dino Grandi Of Italy de-
c1ared today following an hours
conference with the American
Secretary.
The foreign minister did not
elaborate on this enlgmatical
statement, which was interpreted
in informed circles to mean that
Secretary StimSon and Signor
Grandi had discussed, ItaIy's re-
ported plan to propose an all
around armament holiday Of one
year.
Secretary Stimson arrived at
the foreign ministry for his con-
ference with Signor Grandi at
noon and was closeted with the
foreign minister for an hour in
what was generally regarded here
as the first of the series of con-
ferences on Europe's armament
problems with various European
foreign ministers. At the close
Grandi said:
cit was a great pleasure to
meet Secretary StimSOn today
and to renew the friendship
which began at the naval con-
ference in London last year.
Secretary StimSOn Is not
only a great friend Of peace,
but also one of the most far.
sighted statesmen of the world.
His journey to Europe marks
an important date in interna-
tiOnal relations"
1taly'S projected proposal for
a years holiday in armament
building would be contingent on
the postponement Of the forth
coming Geneva world disarma-
ment conference for one year
from it's presently scheduled date,
February 1882.

G.NSD Two of the most un-

This was the tribute paid Regi-
maid L. Robbins and III. 8. Jones,
Seattle Tokyo fliers, today by avi-

Hans Luther Meets,
Talks With Norman:
Both off for Paris

LONDON, July 9 ON.SD.-Fol-
lowing a brief conference with
Montagu Norman, governor Of the
Bank of England, at the German
embassy today, DR.. Hans Luther,
president of the ReichSbank, left
for Paris today. DR.. Luther is
believed to be attempting to ne
gotiate a huge loan.
The German banker departed
only a few hours after his arrival
by airplane at Croydon. Norman
will accompany DR.. Luther as far
as Paris.
British financiers were unable
to understand why DR.. Luther
should make a hurried trip here
to arrange credit, it being pointed
out that he already had been
given assurance that the Bank
of England, Bank Of France, and
the American Federal Reserve
Banks were willing to arrange q
rediscount credit totaling a billion
marks, for Germany, in the hope
of hating the flight of the mark
and restoration Of confidence in
Germany.
Naval Curb Asked
In the meantime considerable
attention was being focused upon
the political and other conces-
sions being requested of Germany
as her contribution toward max
ing the Hoover debt suspension
plan success.
1t was considered most Signi-
ficant in this respect that three
of the leading English newSpa-
pers, representing all three pO-
IiticaI parties, simultaneously ap-
peared with pleas to Germany to
suspend her naval construction
program for q year and thus help
to alIay French uneaSineSs In
this regard.
Customs Union Hit
The newspapers also suggested
that Germany give assurance to
France that the proposed Austro-
German customs union would be
considered only in connection
with the larger plan for a Pan
European customs agreement.
Is such course were adopted,
they said, the Hoover moratorium
would become more effective and
Germany would be q tremendous

Swiftly moving developments
on the international stage linked
closer than ever today the related
questions of European disarma-
ment and the Hoover war debt
moratorium.
The League of Nations has for
mally invited the United States
to participate in the Geneva con-
ference next February, and the
invitation promptly has been &C.
cepted.
Almost simultaneously Secre
tary of State Stimson is inaugu'
rating a series Of conferences
with European statesmen designed
to smooth the road toward real
reduction Of competitive arma.
ment. both land and sea.
Today he is comforting with
the Italians. Later he will go to
Paris, Berlin, and London on a
similar mission. His particular
lob in Rome and Paris is to try
to bridge the naval gap between
the French and Italians, which
developed during the last London
conference and resulted in the
failure to arrive at fiVepoWer
naval agreement.
Debt Holiday Linked
Inevitable, the war debt mora
torium for one year figures in the
discussions. While Mr.. Stimson
probably will not put it so bluntly'
he will inform Europe in effect
that unless there is an apprecl-
able disposition to cut down
armament, the United States can
not see its way clear to go ahead
financing Europe indefinitely.
"EurOpe disarm!" is the burden
Of his message and his mission
although 1t must be carried out
with all the traditional diplO-
matte finesSe and fencing that iS
inherent in such undertakings.
The Geneva conference meets
in February. BY that time it will
be fairly apparent whether a
years extension of the war debt
moratorium is necessary.
Year Held Too Short
No one in Washington doubts
that an extension will be neces-
sary. A year is too short time
for Germany and the world to
recover from the staggering i'll
ness of the economic depression.
In fact, there Is some misgiv
ing here as to whether even the
heroic application of the mora
torium poultice will save Ger
many from financial collapse.

way from Nome.
The Texas airmen expect to
reach Japan at 10 a. m. tomor-
row, Washington time.
I The elapsed time Of IT hours
and So minutes for the flight
from Seattle here was accounted
for by the fliers' encountering
headwinds out of Fairbanks,
which forced them to fly at re
duced speed.
They also had taken a course
inland, north over British Colum-
bia and Yukon Territory, which
probably added several hundred
miles to the air line course be-
tween the two cities.

make up the refueling crew,
quickly passed the load of 22O
