Battle of Yorktown
Being "Refought''
At Capitol Today
Bicentennial Group Finds
CORVALLIS Failed to
Count 1882 Results.
BY REX COLLIER.

The board of strategy in the second
battle Of Yorktown convened today at
the Capitol to see what can be done,
at this late date, about the embarras-
sing surrender Of Lord CORVALLIS to
George Washington $50 years ago.
Caught between two fires, the York
town SeSquicentennial Commission
sought dignified escape from the
dilemma into which the famous Brit
ish general unwittingly got it by order
ing his men to lay down their arms
In the presence of the American Army.
CORVALLIS Short Sighted.
CORVALLIS forgot to reckon, it ap-
pears, with the distressing effect Of
such an act in later eras of super
delicate diplomacy. with the result
that a committee Of the commission,
in considering re-enactment Of the
surrender at the forthcoming cele-
bration thereof. found itself faced with
the question Of a possible affront to
British visitors.
The committee, after consultation
with State Department officials, voted
to avoid any such risk by eliminating
the surrender scene from the big
bration The committee like Corn
wallis. also forgot to reckon with after
effects, however. and found itself In the
center of a storm from which the COM
mission itself was called to extricate It,
The commission was expected to re-
view the action of its committee in the
light Of developing opposition from
those who claim 1t Is absurd" to hold
that the surrender scene might offend
British visitors to the seSquicentennial
next October. There were indications
the committees recommendations may
be disapproved.
Swanson In Europe.
Senator Swanson. chairman Of the
commission. at whose Offices today
meeting was held. is in Europe. 1t was
Chairman Swanson's report, following q
visit to the State Department, that led
to the censorship proposal
Representative Bland OF Virginia, Sec
rotary of the commission, said prior
TO the meeting that several matters
which he considered more important
than the surrender incident" also would
come before the commission, providing
the necessary quorum appear. He said
a number of the commissions men,
bers are out of the city.
One Of the leading critics Of the
committees attitude Is Representative
Sol BLOOM. associate director OF the
George Washington Bicentennial Com
mission. who has announced that "only
direct request from Secretary Slim
son himself will induce him to ban the
CORVALLIS surrender from various BIZ
centennial pageants.

Paris Press Declares English Bankers
Dislike Turning to France for Credit.

\
PARIS. July % R.-Asserting that
Sir Robert Kindersley, director OF the
Bank of England, returned to London
without concluding satisfactory con-
tract with France, the newspaper lie
Matin declared today that there are
financiers in England to whom the idea
OF recourse to the French market for
help-Yor the first time since 1So7-ap-
pears particularly humiliating.
But things have come to the point, p"
the paper continued, where only a
credit, later consolidated by a loan, can
restore easiness and stability to the
Bank Of England"
The French side OF the question, lie
Matin said, is marked by two theses:
It Is safer and better to furnish credit
to Germany and Central Europe
through London because "a second sig
nature Is important where Germany is
concerned" and the London market
already is saturated with French money
and 1t would be better to use other
channels to sustain the mark and pre-
vent the bankruptcy of Germany"
Solidarity with the pound" the pa
per declared, "is 4 tradition which 1t
is unnecessary to push to excess"
While defending continuance Of
French support OF the pound sterling.
La Journel, business newspaper, said
that financial London has played OPP
posite Germany IN its classic role OF
redistributur OF credits with little i'm
prudence.
1T is caught between the repatriating
Of foreign capital and its own credits,
blocked or compromised beyond the
Rhine" the paper declared.
For some time. the Bank OF England
has only been able to defend its ex-
change at the price OF dangerous re-
duction Of its metal deposits. However,
there iS the comparison 20 be made be-
tween England's situation and Ger
manys. Obviously the signature OF the
