Burton Holmes
In Switzerland.


- WITzERLAND, majestic under
Winter SHOWS, and SW1tzer-
land, beautiful in Summers
- colorful adornment, was ira
versed from fertile valleys to
rocky peaks, glacial plateaus and
back again by a large group OF
Washington globe -trotters, who in the
ajority of instances must neces-
sarily crafty their urge to see the
world by sitting comfortably in an
auditorium and watching the glorious
old world go by in pictorial repro
duction.
Yesterday, in company with Bur-
ton Holmes. the audience at the Ma
tional Theater missed nothing in all
of Switzerland that the average
tourist sees, and in addition 1t visit
ed many places which the usual
party of sight-seers seldom has an
opportunity to enjoy. 1t climbed to
dizzy heights of supreme grandeur,
saw rare panoramas of exquisite
beauty and clambered down again
into the valleys of picturesque SIM
plicity.
Starting at Lucerne, the tour COW
cred Fluelen, Trieb, Pilatus, Lens
laken and the Jungfrau, along the
Rhone Glacier and through the tun-
mel under it and on to the Matter
horn. Photographs made through
the giant telescope at Matterhorn
presented close-ups of the famous
rival peaks of Monte Rosa, the Brett
horn, Lyskamm and the Twins.
Down from Matterhorn to Zermatt
and then into the White Hells of
the Alps, stopping en- route for many
scenes of unusual and sometimes I'M
believable beauty. A visit was made
to the Principally of Liechenstein
and to dozens of villages, monas-
teries, lakes and mountains on the
way to st. Moritz and Pontresia,
every inch of the territory offering
its own particular brand of beauty.
In the French Alps the revue is
devoted almost entirely to the mo-
tion-picture recording of the ascent
during this past Summer of Brad
ford WaShburn and Andre LIE Varre
to the summit of Mont Blanc. While
the picture was showing Mr.. Wash
burn balancing himself on a pin
nacle which appeared to have foot
ing about the size of a dinner plate,
Mr.. Holmes told this story on his
young friend. While in New York
together a short time ago they were
taking a look over the city from the
roof of one of the major Skyscrapers.
AS they were gazing at the top of the
Empire State Building a man walk
ing along the roof appeared to be
rather close to the edge, whereupon
Mr.. Washburn turned to Mr.. Holmes
and remarked in all sincerity that
he had an aversion to such heights
and did not see how any one could
maintain a balance at such a dis
lance from the ground.
One Of the most extraordinary bits
Of photography in Mr.. Holmes travel

to help restore condolences in the value

That those interested in the sale of
silver might with advantage emulate
the example set in other industries by
the establishment Of research institutes
for the purpose Of devising new uses

Conference Unlikely.
At the same time the experts ex-
pressed an opinion that no information

industry is likely under governmental
sponsorship, except as a side issue CT a
general economic conference.
The committee was composed of
Ernest Franklin of London, z. D. Van
Walree of Bern and Marshall w. Tut

Referring to the proposed sales agree
ment, it said the best results probably
could be achieved by friendly CO.
operation and careful observation of
prices, with view to establishing a
somewhat higher, although not too high,
level, compatible with the interests of
sellers as well as holders"

Richie HOLDS US.
/ ENTERPRISES LOSE
Operates UnprofitabIy for
T Taxpayers, He Says in
Radio Address.

The United States Government not
only has made an imperial and revo-
lutionary march into the domain OF
business" but has operated Improbable
enterprises supported by taxation Of the
people, Gov. Albert c. Richie of Mary
land charges in an address over the
National Broadcasting System from
Washington yesterday.
Describing the evils of Government
interference in the realm Of big buS1-
ness, Gov. Richie stated that economic
enterprise in this country has acquired
the "habit of constantly looking to
washington for aid and subsidies and
subventionS and to the laws too numer-
Gus to mention. which, on the one hand,
overfavor business, and on the other
overregulate it."
Bureaucracy Is Near-Tyranny.
Some of this" he said may be
necessary, but on the whole these things
have brought a system of bureaucracy
which comes very near to tyranny. The
army of officeholderS grows over flve
times as fast as the population, and our
Government becomes steadily the most
costly, Wasteful and eXtravagant on the
face of the earth.
And the end is not yet; there are
still unexpected fields-child and adult
labor, education, the producer, the mer-
chandiser, the consumer, the farmer
and the press. A live bureaucracy will
be glad to bring them all under its
jurisdiction.
Although mo provision in the Con-
stitution even remotely contemplates
the Government engaging in business"
the Federal authority actually is in
business engaged in at least 100
distinct lines" These enterprises are
run without due regard for operating
costs, without the rule that profits
must be made, the speaker said, be-
cause all deficits may be balanced from
the public Treasury.
Can Never Stampede States.
Business has sought from the Fed
eral Government a security which
might be better obtained from DIVERSE
f1cation Of regulatory power into the
hands of the various States, Richie
said, for IAN active and belligerent
propaganda may stampede a given
Congress into passing laws ruinous to
business. You can never stam-
pede all the States into doing So"
'I refuse" he concluded, Ito believe
that the intelligence of the country
cannot see that business prosperity
must rest on a Sounder basis than
or interference from Washington.
Business should look to and trust the
States and their people, as the sources
from which its strength and safety
spring, and as the arch security of our
governmental structure, and the CEN
trail Government should not block the
way"
