During the year there were
many indications that Italy was
drawing into close cooperation with
Germany and Russia.
After being ratified by all the ma
tions concerned, the Young plan for
reparations was put into effect on
May 8. Gates w. McGarrah of
New York already had been elected
president of the bank for interna-
tional settlements created by the
plan. On May 10 the last of the
French troops in the Rhineland be-
gan moving out, the evacuation be
ing completed June 80. A separate
reparatiOns settlement was signed
in April by Hungary, Austria and
the states in the little entente.
Frank B. Kellogg, former secre-
tary of state of the United States.
was elected a member of the World
court in September to fill out the
term Of Charles Evans Hughes.
The mandate commission Of the
League of Nations made in August
its long awaited report on the Pal
estine conflicts between Jews and
Arabs, placing the blame on Great
Britain. In the fall the British
government announced a new pol
icy concerning Palestine which
would stop for the present any fur
ther immigration of Jews into the
Holy Land. Zionists everywhere
protested vigorously and President
Chain Weizmann and other chief
officers of the World Zionists or
ganiZation resigned.
Russia's Great Conspiracy Story.
Early in November the govern
ment of Russia announced that ii
had uncovered a gigantic plot
against the Soviet regime in which
a number of "capitalistic" states
were said to be involved. Among
many individuals who were al
legged to have a part in the conspir-
acy were Former Premier Poincare
and Foreign Minister BRAND of
France and Sir Henri Deterding,
British oil magnate. Eight Russian
engineers were put on trial, con-

in prison. Paris and London looked
on the whole thing as ''frame-up."
Late in January Mexico severed
diplomatic relations with Russia be-
cause of alleged Communist insults.
In the United States the advocates
Of a policy of resumption of rela-
tions with the Soviet government
were jolted by revelations that the
latter had been selling wheat short
on the American grain exchanges,
aiding in the Generalization OF
prices. At the same time it be-
came evident that the Moscow gov
ernment was dumping grain in the
European markets at prices far be-
low the cost of production. The
whole affair created a great stir
here and abroad, but nothing much
could be done about it.

RascalIy Train Crew

A locomotive driver, a conductor
and brakeman, as we'll as five pro-
fessiOnal bandits, were arrested when
an investigation of a series of train
rObberies near BostOsani, Rumania,
revealed that the train crew was
working hand-in-glove with the ban
dts. The train was being slowed
down at a certain spot while the
bandits broke into a car which had
been marked to indicate that its con-

INTERNATIONAL

THREE months of intensive de-
l. bate. diplomatic negotiations.
study of experts figures and mu-
tual concessions brought forth the
London naval treaty, which was
signed on April %. by the delegates
of the United States, Great Britain,
Japan, France and Italy. BY this
pact the first three powers agreed
to the extension of the Washington
treaty so that the reduction and
limitation of their navies should APP
ply to cruisers and lesser vessels.
France and Italy failed utterly to
reach an accord as to what their
relative naval strength should be.
Consequently they subscribed to
only those parts of the London
treaty that provided for battle
ship building holiday" and pre-
scribed various rules designed to
humanize submarine warfare.
France and Italy held intermit-
tent conversations during the rest
of the year, but could not settle
their differences. The one insur.
mountable obstacle was Italy's de-
mand that her right to naval parity
with France be admitted, and
France fatty refused to yield this
point.
League Receives Brands Scheme.
In September the assembly of the
League of Nations listened politely
while NJ. BRAND, French foreign
minister, expounded his pet scheme
for a federation of European states.
Other statesmen cautiously praised
the plan and it was accepted in
principle by the assembly and re-
ferred to a special committee which
will report to the 1881 meeting.
Twenty-eight of the nations rep
resented at Geneva signed on Oc-
tober 2 a treaty guaranteeing finan-
cial aid to any signatory state that
is the victim Of warlike aggres-
sion.
Late in August nine of the small
er nations of central Europe held
a conference in Warsaw and agreed
on a concerted program of action
mainly in the furtherance of their
agrarian interests. The pact was
signed by Bulgaria, CzechOslO-
vakia, Estonia, Finland, Hungary,
Latvia, Poland, Rumania and JugO-
slavia. Lithuania was absent be
cause of her political differences
with Poland. France was quick to
frsfn 1-I d
these states by offering credits.

DOMESTIC

MYTH less cause for complaint
w than the peoples of most other
countries, the inhabitants Of the
United States were nevertheless
dissatisfied and pessimistic. Over
production by farmers and manu-
facturers and timidity of consum-
ers resulted in business depression
and unemployment that lasted
throughout the year, despite all
efforts to restore prosperity. The
great drought played its evil part,
affecting conditions in the entire
land.
President Hoover's administration
had another exceedingly difficult
year. In the senate the Democrats
were reinforced by the radical Re-
publicans and the coalition fought
many of the Chief Executives poll
cies. After more than six months
of debate the senate passed the
Smoot tariff bill, embracing two
features that were obnoxious to the
President. These were the export
debenture provision, carried over
from the old farm relief legislation,
and a clause transferring the fieX-
ible tariff power from the President
to congress. The house of repre-
sentativeS eliminated these fea-
lures, the senate was forced to
yield. and on June IA the sO-called
Hawley-Smoot tariff measure was
finally enacted. 1t reached the
=: nf
tariff law ever passed, with an av-
erage of about 90 per cent above
that of the Fordney- -McCumber bill
of 1922. In its entirely it was sat
isfying to nobody, but President
Hoover signed it because he saw in
its flexible provision the means of
righting its injustices. Protests
against the higher duties were re-
ceived from many foreign govern
ments.
Veterans Pension Act.
There was another long and bit
ter wrangle over the veterans pen
sion bill. As first passed by con-
gress it was wholly Objectionable
to the administration and was
promptly vetoed, partly because it
granted compensation for disabili-
ties not incurred in active service
and partly because it went beyond
the financial necessities of the stu
ation." The house sustained the
veto but the senate repassed the
bill with some amendments. These
were rejected by the representa-
tives and a measure fairly accept
able to the administration was
passed and signed. 1t inaugural

PROSPERITY, which was lust
/ around the corner" at the begin
ming of 1890. gave the world no
more than an occasional glimpse
of her face during the year. BuS1-
ness depression, increasing unem-
ployment, continuing low prices for
agricultural products and declining
markets for securities prevailed
generally.
Skilled observers prOfessed 10 see
war clouds again gathering over the
Balkans, but notable steps were
taken in the direction of world
peace and disarmament. The United
States. Great Britain and Japan
signed the London naval limitation
treaty, and toward the close Of the
year there were indications that
France and Italy, settling their
parity dispute, would make 1t a
fve-power pact. Some progress
was achieved by the preparatory
disarmament commission of the
League of Nations. The revision
of German reparations, known as
the Young plan, was adopted by all
nations concerned and put into ef-
feet, although Germany was not
hopeful of its ultimate success. The
evacuation of the Rhineland by the
allied forces was completed.
China's long. bloody and con-
fused civil war ended in victory for
the Nationalist government. Popu-
lar and military revolutions upset
the governments of five Latin
American republics.
Though governmental and other
agencies in the United States strove
throughout the year to relieve the
unfortunate economic conditions,
results of these efforts were slow
in appearing. Consequently the
voters went to the polls in Novem-
Der and expressed their dissatis-
faction in the customary manner.
There was a Democratic landslide
that covered most of the country
and the Republican party virtually
lost its control of both houses of
congress in March, 1881. However,
the national leaders of the victOri-
Gus Democrats pledged their party
to cooperation with the Republican
administration in all measures de-
signed TO bring prosperity around
the corner, and business was re-
assured by the promise that there
would be no attempt for some time
to revise the tariff act passed in
June.
Industrial and financial distress
in the United States was greatly
increased by drought that prevailed
all summer in the Mississippi and
Ohio river states and extended as
far east as the Virginias. National
and state governments afforded
speedy relief to the sufferers. AS
winter neared numerous organiza-
tiOns throughout the country went
into action to alleviate the unem-
ployment situation, their aim be-
ing to supply those out of work
with jobs rather than charity doles.
Public building and highway prof.
ects were started and speeded up,
and the great industrial and trans
portation concerns sought means to
increase the number of their EN-
ployees.
All in all, 1890 was not a happy
year for the world.

Breads Rich

BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

Fancy breads always are popular,
and when they can be used for tea
sandwiches they are a boon to
hostesses.
It's well to keep in mind the food
value of breadstuffs when they are
to take an Important part in meals.
All breads are energy foods, fox their
main ingredient-1our- is Of great
calorie value.
The yeast breads are good sources
of vitamin B, but the quick breads
made with eggs, milk, molaSses,
fruits and nuts add mineral salts
and additional calories.
Good for Children
Very often a raisin or nut bread
precludeS cake in the menu. A vege-
table salad accompanied by raisin
bread sandwiches and followed by a
dessert of fresh fruit makes cake or
cookies quite unnecessary in the
menu.
Undernourished children find
these breads an excellent source
of fat, since an extra amount of
butter can be carried by the slice
of bread.
If you have a good basic rule
for quick bread you can vary it in
many ways. Dates, nuts, raisins
and prunes can be used as want
ed Various combinations of flourS
can be worked out,
BROWN BREAD
Two eggs, teaspoon salt, u cup
granulated sugar, X cup molasses,
212 cups graham flour, IL cups
