Rev. Russell F Pederson who has been in attendance at the Presbyterian General Assembly in Pittsburgh Pa, returnei home on the steamer Princess Charlotte Tuesday morning. He reports that some Of the import ant business of the Assembly was as follows:
 Spiritual emphasis was the su- preme issue of the Assembly, and great national annual con- greSs representing 100000 com municant m smbers sounded Is the keynote for the coming year the spiritual quickening of tne entire church. The dominating spirit of the business of the As sembly was toward a great re neWal Of faith and great reviv-
  al of Christian wort! throughout the United Stat and in the countries where Presbyteria l missions are conducted.
 Liberty of Conscience
 The Assembly upheld President Hoover in his policy of law ob- servance. It made strong pronouncement for universal peace, for the entrance of tke United States into the World Court, for liberty of conscience, and for obtaining for PresbJ- terian students in colleges the same eXamption from compul- sorry military training that $ granted to members of the So- ciety of Friends, the Assembly considering that a Presbyterian conscience is just as good as B Quaker conscience.
 Essentials Stressed
 Temperance and prohibition, Sabbath observance and other fundamentals of old-fashiored Christianity, were hell up as essentials in combating the evils of the times. Stror9 announcements were made against the liquor traffic, a gainst the commercialization oI the Sabbath by professional sports and motion picture houses and against intrusion of objec- tionable amusements into church buildings The sanctity of marriage, the family and the home was emphasized and great CT restrictions against the di- vOrce evil were advocated.
 Industrial Relations

New HaIibut Treaty
 Now in Effect


 9th, the new North Pacific Hali but Treaty became officially eff fective. The new treaty place the duty of regulating halibli fishing operations and the main tenance of the stock of fish or the halibut banks upon the In ternatiOnal Fisheries Commis. sion. The first step in the ex. ercise of it's new powers wa. taken by the Commission at { meeting in Ottawa on May 27 wherein it was decided to ex tend invitations to the various branches of the halibut industry to appoint representatives wha will make up a conference board for the purpose of enabling fish ermen and vessel owners Jo keep closely informed regardinl the commissions work and to SlScuss with the commission the facts and the reasoning on which any proposed regulations are based.
 No new regulations were adopted at this meeting, all reg ulatory action being left to 2 meeting to be held later, after the conference board has been formed and the men in the in- dustry have had an opportunity tn express their views. Appar : tntly the commission intends to do nothing hastily and oppor- tunity for thorough discussion will be given before final action is taken.
 Field investigation in the North Pacific to determine the reproduction rate of the halibut species, growth, natural enemies and other information of vital importance is to be carried or under direction of the commis- sion as heretofore by the power boat Dorothy" which left Seat : tie May 12 in charge of Richard Van Cleve assisted by Lawrence Townsend, zell Parkhurst and Olaf Erickson of the commiS- sion's staff. Captain O. Serwold, an old halibut skipper, former ly of the "Tordenskjold" wera as master of the Dorothy" tn s season in place of the owner, O.. O. Hvatum.
 The primary purpose of the trip this year is to carry on the study of the drift of eggs ao1 larvae, an interesting feature of which is the release at various points of many brightly colored drift bottles by which the move ment of the water over various periods will be traced. The bo5- ties each contain a numered card with directions printed ln English, Russian and Japanes2 requesting the finder to retur it with data as to where and when found. The bottles ate colored a bright orange so they will be readily visible anl weighted with a length of wirc and a metal drag and will checS quite accurately the movement of the water with very little in fluence from wind. Of the five hundred bottles released las year about forty have been re turned. These bottles, release; at points ranging from Dixon Entrance to the Shumagin Is lands all show westward drift confirming previous informa tion. Net hauls will also b. made at many places to deter mine the southern limit of tn drift of the eggs and larva :, through July. It is hoped tha these studies will ultimate show whether there is any in flow of new spawn from othe sources to keep up the stock ol the more southerly fishin grounds where there has bee very little spawning stock f.
 some years.

ance that they win not be throwing
good money after bad before increasing
it. The heavy Withdrawals of funds
from Germany. offsetting the benefits
from the savings under the war debt
moratorium, 1t is felt here, might have
been avoided by more speedy accept
ance Of President Hoover's PROPOSE.
If an immediate and substantial credit
from Wall Street to Berlin would save
the situation, there would probably be
little delay in extending it. But well
informed bankers assert that there is
little use in pumping further funds in
Germany, only to have chances of per-
manent benefits nullified by European
political antagonisms.
Short Term Credits.
While American investments in Ger
many probably exceed those of any
other country, it has been largely the
flow OF funds from America to Ger
many that has made her able to pay
reparations to the former allies. so 1t is
felt that they might assume some re-
more, 1t Is felt that economic collapse
in Central Europe could not help but
be more serious for other European ma
tons than for the United States.
A prominent banker, one who has
been particularly sympathetic toward
Germany feels that the extension of
further short-term credits would citly
aggravate a situation brought about
chiefly by an excess of that sort of
credit. He feels that Germany first OF
all should be given an opportunity TO
work off some Other short-term IN
debteGneSD.

BUSINESS IMPROVES
IN new ENGLAND
Power Output Shows Good Ad-
vance-Summer Tourist Influx
Helps Trade.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, July 18.-Continued signs
of improvement in the general business
situation in number of sections in
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont
are reflected in the business reports
compiled by the New England Public
Service Co. made public today. The
comparative power output in this sec
ton, considered dependable barome-
ter, increased over 5 per cent for the
first six months. This is further in
creased to % per cent if all new power
users are considered
Any sluggishness that might be ex-
pected at this period is counteracted by
the influx of Summer tourist trade, al
ways an important factor in Northern
New England. This appears to be hold
ing it's own in most sections. Where
actual improvement cannot be detected,
there is. however. pronounced feeling
of encouragement which has not been
manifest so openly in the past.

STOCKS IRREGULAR

Market Marks Time Pending
News on Foreign Credit
Crisis.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 18.-In trading
that was dull even for q Saturday
stocks today first reacted, then raj
lied. with the net result that. while
advances predominated, none OF them
was large In amount and few had sig
nificance.
Volume was held back by the lack
of news from abroad relative to today s
conference between the Germans and
the French. There was little new in
the domestic situation on which to
found speculative activity, and so the
market merely drifted. It had, how
ever, one feature, even though 1t was
negative. and that was the absence OF
short selling.
Bears Cautious.
In the last six weeks the stock mar
ket has staged at least three almost
spectacular recoveries, and they have
cost the bears a good deal Of money
AS a result operators for the decline are
displaying unwonted caution.
For instance, today news of the cut
in nitrate prices consequent upon the
breaking up of the European cartel
might have been expected to bring pres
sure against Allied Chemical The
stock was point or so lower, but there
was no volume, and the incident went
comparatively unnoticed. Standard
stocks, such as United States Steel
American Can and General Motors, off
fractionally at the opening, regained
the loss before the close.
Railroad stocks were inactive and
steady. The first of the June state
nlents came along, that of Kansas City
Southern, showing the usual unfavor-
able comparison with year ago. And
yet, rate increase or no rate increase
the time is approaching when traffic
figures must make a better relative
showing. The question is whether there
must not be further important dividend
reductions first.
Closing of Bourse.
No light on the international situa-
ton was available from the foreign
markets, which were closed for the
week end. Berlin reported that the
Bourse would remain closed until
further notice. Some encouragement
was had from the strength in German
dollar bonds. German marks were
higher, but sterling and francs were of
fractionally. In the commodity mar
kets there was good foreign demand for
copper. the domestic price for which
was cents pound against the recent
low of 7S4 cents.
Specialties at one time or another tt
show losses on the day included Worth
ineton Pump, j. I. Case and Eastman
Kodak. On the other hand, there was
buying OF American Wooden preferred
around the best of the movement. Corn
Products rallied from the low follow
ing news of the decision against the
company in the litigation with Penick
q Ford. Lorillard was a strong spot
in the tobacco list.

RETURN TO HARD WORK
URGED AS TRADE CURE

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, July ls.-Preaching the
unpopular doctrine that continued de-
preston might be good thing for the
country, George Richardson, newly
elected president Of the National Asso-
citation OF Purchasing Agents, which
represents the material buying power
Of the Nation, took sharp rap at the
professional optimism and the nostrum
specialist in a special message to the
members Of the association made public
today.
eve are now in the second year Of
corrective period. which, in the juoe-
Ynent of many Of us, is a wholesome and
much needed reminder that there are
basic economic. as well as moral. laws
which do not change with the seasons
and are not affected by mob psychology
and when fragrant disregard for these
laws attains the proportions witnessed
prior TO the close of 1929. the measure
Of retribution which is melted out to us
is IN proportion TO the extent o. their
breach" Mr.. Richardson declared.
The head Of the organization OF men
who buy hundreds Of millions Of dol
lars worth Of materials every year be-
neved lit might be very beneficial in
establishing a sound foundation for
rernanenS recovery to have this period
Of fast E1d abstinence continue for
awhile. 4nere is no substitute for in

cation to business"
Mr.. Richardson. q man who thinks
constantly in terms Of buying rather
than selling. finds that business men
need 10 have it borne in on them that
they cannot get and hold something for
nothing" He advocates q return TO
hard work and less extravaganza

Buying for Profit

OF all the unsatisfactory sources from
which to seek advice on investments the
,roSt unsatisfactory IS the average trader
on margin n stocks. I say average be-
cause there are spectators who can
keep separate compartments in their
minds for speculation and for invest
ment. but they are rare specimens. AS
q rule, the in-and-out trader In Wall
Street would wreck any investment
program If his ideas on securities meant
to be held permanently were followed.
The fact is that the technique Of
speculation is almost the opposite OF
that Of investment. The Spectator buys
when other speculators are buying. He

are going down. He never argues with
the tape or at least he never does If
he Is a successful Spectator. His de-
liberate policy is to feel the pulse of the
market and the one end he seeks is to
profit by fluctuations in prices
Now the successful investor enters the
market when he believes that prices are
at bargain levels. He buys in small lots
and he buys for cash and he is not
disturbed by the minor ups and downs

apparently, has no inclination to be
made the goat in the financial crisis
in Central Europe.
Important bankers express themselves
as ready to participate in any plan Of
international cooperation which may
meet the approval Of all governments
concerned, including our own, but there
is notable disinclination to yank out
the wallet while others are merely
fumbling with their pockets
Wall Streets leading bankers are not
rushing into print with public express
sions of opinion on the matter. They
recognize its delicate diplomatic aspects.
But the general feeling can quickly be
detected by few informal converse
tons.
That Is not to say that there Is any
unanimity Of opinion. There is, never
theless. a very decided drift Of opinion
in higher banking circles.
U. S. Investments Large.
This drift of opinion is in the direc-
ton that the United States. having
taken the initiative in the war debt

1t is pointed out that the re .ent flight
