Economic Stability Before

Advice to Congress.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Presi-
dent Hoover is outlining a new
Philippine policy which, it is hoped,
will block pending legislation call
ing for immediate independence of
the islands, it was learned today.
The new policy provides for aid
to economic and governmental sta
bility through American Corpora
ton. It will be offered to congress
in the Presidents message at the
opening Of the December session.
Hoover has announced his view
that independence at this time,
without assurances of economic sta
bility would lead to disaster. He
recognizes, however, that perhaps
a majority in congress is ready to

j. s. SUPPORTS
!. ARMAMENT
HOLIDAY
Friendly Toward Grand Plan,
But Will Show No Haste;
StlmSon May Go to Farley

The A American Government
looks with marked favor on the
proposal of Dino Grand, Italian
foreign minister, for an arma-
ment holiday until after the
Geneva Disarmament Conference
next February, but will await de-
tails of the plan before taking
any action to further the plan.
The Administration was uncer-
tain Of the scope Of Grandi's sug-
gestiOn, but was described as
being friendly to any move In the
direction Of saving large expendi-
tures for war material. 1t Is be-
Heved Grandi had in mind a
suspension of all naval cOnstruc-
ton.
Facing Difficulties
It is recognized that many diff
ficulties concerning commitments
already made for naval construc-
ton would have to be overcome,
Some means would have to be
found to cancel contracts made
Tor ships under the London treaty
without entailing a large loss to
the Government, unless the sus-
pension were limited to future
building.
Nevertheless, this Government
would welcome a naval holiday as
likely to give impetus to general
reduction at Geneva, the outlook
for which is gloomy enough, any
way.
StimSOn May Lead
Secretary StimSOn may head
ehe American delegation to the
Geneva party, as it is known he
considers the European visit just
concluded was helpful in paving
the way for success there.
There is some doubt whether
this Government would LOOK with
approval on selection Of an
American to be president of the
disarmament conference, as limited
abroad.
# Chief Justice Charles E.
Hughes, or some other prominent
American, were selected to preside
and the conferenc adjourned with
out any real reduction, then the
blame might be placed on the
United States, officials pointed
out.

Stars
Manage to
Survive

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 9.-"On
every side you hear praise Of
Jackie Cooper for his perform
ance in 'Skippy" and in The
Champ But where will he be
five years from now?"
This is query addressed to
me by a New York motion pic
ture fan. Naturally, I can't give
the answer, for who can predict
the fate of a child actor. It is
possible, however, to examine the
records of other youthful stars.
One who has come back and
made a name for herself Is Madge
Evans. In the old days, Madge
acted for the World Film Com.
pany. Now, she is under con.
tract to Metro Goldwyn- Mayer
and, if you please, is one Of the
most charming leading women on
the screen.
Ben Alexander is working again
in juvenile roles ("All Quiet On
the Western Front" and "Are
These Our Children?"). Anita
Louise bridge the gap between
child actress and ingenue. Jackie
Coogan, with one more to do at
Paramount, has accomplished the
unusual feat of enjoying two
voglleS as a child performer.
Mary Kornman, Of Hal Roach'S
"Our Gang" is going to school,
but works occasionally in the
studios. Farina, a colleague, is
in vaudeville. So are Jane and
Katherine Lee. who used to work
for Fox. Virginia Lee Corbin is
married and, i believe, is in Eu'
rope now.
A reference to the casting di-
rectories discioses that Wesley
Barry still is available, though
you seldom hear Of him in a
picture.
AS for Baby Marie Osborne and
Baby Peggy Montgomery, they
seem to have dropped out Of
sight completely.
You may argue, and I am of
the same mind, that Jackie
Cooper is a much finer actor
than any of these other child
stars. Therefore, he may sur.
vive the awkward age and go
right on to juvenile roles. In
any event, the boy who played
the Champs" kid should not
fade permanently from the
screen horizon.
