DINO GRAND| Due
IN BERLIN TODAY
"vagabond Diplomacy" viii
Undergo Test in Talk
With Bruening.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, october 24.-Europe's new
institution Of "vagabond diplomacy"
will undergo another practical test
when Foreign Minister Dino Grand,
serving as Premier Mussolini's personal
representative, arrives here tomorrow
for a two-day conference with Chan
cellor Heinrich Bruening.
AS In the previous meetings of Ger
man statesmen with the chiefs Of other
governments, the world economic crisis,
reparations, war debts and disarmament
will be the principal topics Of discus
sion.
Judging from the comments of both
Italian and German newspapers, DR..
Bruening and Signor Grand fully
realize their meeting occurs in the
shadow Of more important confer
ence--the discussions between President
Hoover and Premier Laval Of France.
At the same time the italian foreign
minister and the chancellor have va
rious problems Of mutual interest to
tackle which need not await the result
of the Washington conversations.
This applies especially to various
tariff questions. In the opinion OF some
observers there is likely to emerge an
agreement to establish an Italo- German
Economic Committee similar 20 That
appointed for the Advancement of
Franco German Relations.
Another subject on which concrete
results are expected Is Joint action to-
ward world disarmament ct the Geneva
conference next February.
Signor Grandi's proposal to the
League Of Nations of q one-year arma-
ment holiday received warm comment
in Germany. When DR.. Bruening and
former Foreign Minister Julius Curtius
visied Rome last Summer there was no
problem on which the Italians and
Germans agreed more easily than on
the desire OF both to see the world re-
lieved of its armament burden.
Tomorrow noon Signor Grandi will
be a luncheon guests of Bernhard Won
Buelow, undersecretary for foreign af-
fairs. In the afternoon there will be a
reception to the Italian colony at the
Hotel Esplande, and in the evening the
Grand party viii attend a gala dinner
at the chancellor's palace.

the important post, but reports have

Of taking the position, but I did not
do So" Mr.. Macdonald said. What's
the use of raising such issues to poison
your minds regarding the member from
Seaham who Is going to be the men,
Der from Seaman AGAIN."
The prime minister told his Seaman
constituents he was not going to be
run by any party. He said he would
inquire into the tariff question with an
open mind, but from a complete ma
tional viewpoint rather than from q
party standpoint.
IF there is any partisan maneuver-

declared.
The betting swung in Mr.. MacDon-
AIDS favor in many Seaham districts

They whirled through the sun-shot

GOLD INFLUX HELD

Study Denies Flow Is Cause

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 34.-That the
flow of gold to the United States and
France was the result and not the
cause Of the worlds economic difdcul-
ties is the argument set forth by the
National Industrial Conference Board in
q study entitled Major Forces OF
World Business Depression" publishs<

The Conference Board contends that
business depression in Argentina, Brazil,
Australia and Japan, for example, pre-
coded and did not follow the export

France. The great loss OF gold by Ger
many was due to political rather than
economic causes, 1t Is claimed.
French Lending Less Now.
The flow of gold to France and the
United States. 1t Is held. was due to the
large net income which these two coun-
tries receive each year from foreign

financial balances. It Is explained that
before the war France employed the
SURPRISES in its balance of payments
mainly for long term investment in for
eign countries and only to q small exc
tent for the accumulation Of gold.
After the war. however. the confer
ence boards study states, France
failed TO resume It's policy OF lending
abroad. This was due mainly "a the

extended long term loans to It's Euro
pean allies, but resumption of large
foreign financing, it IL found, will be
determined by considerations OF polite
cal stability Of the debtor countries.

The position Of the United States
Is seen as somewhat similar TO that

"The weakening OF Great Hritain,a

press saw a change of attitude on the
part of Senator Borah in its comment
today on his demand for revision of the
Versailles treaty

changed his views in that he now
asked, not suppression, but "adapta-
ton Of the Versailles treaty, recog-
MIXING special rights OF France and
Belgium growing out of the wars dev-
astation in those countries.
The newspaper added he also appar-

French disarmament.

should not be a cause OF surprise as
his beliefs were the same as those long
known to have been held by a majority
Of Americans.

Ignorant of this fact he was very i'm

In March the department had over

some employment during the e.summer.
The police department will be ready
to renew its relief work in the fall.
For the present its relief activities

LABOR PROPOSALS

Out of experience in its own dis
tinctive field labor proposed two fun
damental principles making for sta
bilization (D Maintain wage rate
at present levels, advancing rates is
productivity increases; {2) reduce
hours of work as technical progress
makes it possible to increase the out
put per hour.
The reasons for these proposals are
obvious. Increased productivity earns
more money, and also increased out
put cannot be sold unless wage earn
ers have larger incomes.
Technical progress means that
workers with better tools can do their
work in less time. The whole point in
improving the technique of the work
process is to save labor. Unless this
is done by reducing the work hours
rather than by reducing the number
of workers employed, technical prog
ress results in unemployment and
business depression.
If all of industry were now put on
the fve-day week business would be
ready to take advantage of the up
turn in business, so that each upward
move would benefit the widest range
and put the greatest lifting force be-
hind production, the confidence spend
ing of workers who feel their jobs
are secure.

1T SOMETIMES HAPPENS

The city of Indianapolis has just
had a strange and interesting expe
rience. 1t has received the help of
federal courts in enforcing fran
chise contract against public utility
corporation.
In 1906, the Citizens Gas Company,
of Indianapolis, got a franchise for
25 years. Rates were prescribed, and
it was provided in the franchise that
at the end of the period, the COM
pany would retire its stock and trans
fer ownership of the plant to the city.
In 1918, the public utilities commits
sion act of Indiana was passed, put
ting all utilities under control of the
state COMMISSION. Some years later
the company surrendered it's fran
chise, as permitted by this law, and
took a permit from the commission.
When the franchise period expired,
the city of Indianapolis claimed the
plant. The company refused to hand
it over, claiming that the public util-
tiles act had superseded the franchise.
But the federal circuit court of that
region held in favor the city; and two
weeks ago the supreme court of the
United States refused to review the
case.
Indianapolis gets its gas plant; and
for once a public utility corporation
is compelled to keep it's bargain with
municipality.
1t doesn't often happen. The Scent
street car fare was once universal in
this country, and was written into a
thousand franchise contracts between
corporations and municipalities. To-
day New York city is almost the only
metropolitan community in the coun-
| try which has kept the old rate. AT
least nine times out of ten, fran
chise contract between city and g
corporation binds the city and lets the
corporation go free.
Charles A. Dana once said while it
was no news for dog to bite man.
it would be big news everywhere for
man to bite dog. BY this rule the
, enforcement of contract in favor of
city and against a utility company
should be on the front page of every
newspaper in the United States. But
it won't be. Watch and see if it is

WOMEN ON THE BENCH

Removal of Magistrate Jean Norris,
of New York city, as unfit for judicial
service doubtless caused talk to the
effect that her ousting proves women
not suited for the bench, ETC., etc
Of course it proves nothing of the
sort, any more than the removal of
a male Judge proves that men are not
fitted for the bench. All that Magis-
trate Norris removal indicates is that
SOME women are unfit for judicial
office There are women judges CIV
ing fine service, of whose work there
is nothing but praise. Critics of
women judges should remember that
all mankind is prone TO err, men as
