and tend strongly TO minimize national
jealousies.
What I have in mind would in no.
wise diminish national identities; it
would emphasize them the more. Nor
have I in mind a super state with
world capital, such as was limited
shortly after the end of the World War,
nor even the collectivism of 1.-The new
world state" suggested by that brilliant
English writer, H. G. Wells.
My vision is for world peace among
nations, strong in their individuality
but cooperative instead of competitive.
and for the economic wellbeing of
the whole world. 1 have little thought
even for the So-called peace organiza-
lions" to take the place of armies and
nqvie5. I am seeking openness, frank
ness, based upon community of in
terests disarmament in reality, and
then eventually the coordination of
industrial activities that will stabilize
a now shaken continent.
The practical workings of such a
scheme? National and international
financing and administrative institu-
tions are the answer. Interlockinp
directorates-in some quarters still and
at certain periods in our financial de-
velopment considered such 1. bugaboo-
would internationalize those institu-
tions; the same situation would de-
velop in industry; in fact, already is
beginning to develop, for there are
even now, for instance, many French
flnanciers who are associated in the
management of German commercial
institutions.
World peace-the most stupendous
social engineering task confronting The
intelligence OF the world-cannot. it
seems, be established through politi-
cal negotiations. Industrial co-opera-
tion and coordination, with attendant
international publicity, will, I believe
be the final solution. This phase of
disarmament. I feel safe in predicting,
will be the subject of serious discussion
at the world conference to be con-
vened in February.

Debt Link Possible.

A step still further is not altogether
fantastic settlement, in part OF
wholly of the international debts might
be possible in connection with these
economic readjustments. For instance,
Frances interests in the international
rail lines might be determined in rela-
ton to the contribution by Germany,
and like arrangements might be eff
fected as between other nations.
There is no doubt in my mind that
such plan would go much further
than any solution predicated upon po-
litical negotiations. 1t is not Chi
merical, nor is it Utopian. There is
such a thing developing today as the
international mind" 1t is even now
functioning at Geneva in world politics
at The Hague in judicial sense, and
at Basel in international finance
In my Judgment the United States of
America would not be the unified ma
ton it is today If it had not been for
the great vision of the railroad build
erS of 40 and SO years ago. And in
this connection I am hopeful that
some of the genius of America-engi-
neering, administrative and financial
will take a hand in the building and
operation of those intercountry Sys-
TENS in Europe; their experience with
the great transcontinental lines of
America would be a distinct contribu-
ton in remodeling the systems of
Europe.

D H|O TEACHER
FAVORS DOLE

LONDON, Feb. 10 G.N.s0.
Prof. Edison L. Bowers, of the
department of economics, Ohio
State University, approves entirely
of the British system of unem-
ployment benefit.
Prof. Bowers is spending a year
in Europe for the Social Research
Council of New York, and his tour
will include visits to France,
Switzerland, Germany, Belgium,
Sweden and Russia.
After investigating the British
system in the light of trade de-
preston in the United States.
Prof. Bowers says it leaves him
without word of criticism.
But his own preference would
be for unemployment benefit to
be a charge on industry.
The dole, as it is frequently
described, is a term generally
misused. What actually happens
in Great Britain is that contri-
buttons to an unemployment fund
are made jointly by the govern
ment, the employer and the en-
ploye.

WAVES SSTELLA

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Patrol
man George Wandling wants
Mrs. Myrtle Stella, the mysteri
ously vanished widow, back, but
not right away.
Wandlin, Don Juan beneath
the elevated, is willing to con
sole himself for e. time with lady
reporters.
"The trouble waS," Wandling
said today, as he directed traf-
flee in the middle Of Seventieth
Street and Columbus Avenue,
Mrs. Stella was jealous. II she
came up now and found all
these girls from the newspapers
hanging around, she might
throw a bottle at me.
Only IS, But Daddy"
"Say, take it from me, Mrs.
Stella wouldn't go away with
out telling me. She's too gone
on me. Daddy she says, You
give me the air and I'll put the
gas pipe in my mouth I'm only
IS, but she calls me Daddy. I'm
just a poor lonely widow she
says. You're all / got, Daddy
"See that ring on my finger?
Here, take it off. A real pigeon
blood ruby. Mrs. Stella give it
to me. Fifteen hundred dollars.
She got it for twelve hundred.
That shows how much she
thought of me-"
Suddenly a lady in a mink coat
got enmeShed in perilous traffic.
"YOu want to get run Over?"
sang out Wandling of the brave
heart.
FIirty Badinage
"HOw can II" she countered.
Their eyes met. His are hazel
eyes, Steadfast, challenging.
That's why the city scatters
such big, handsome brutes
around. You're here to protect
me, aren't yOu?"
He held her arm as they
sauntered to the curb. The police
man looked around. 1t wasn't
necessary. Mrs. Stella was far out
of sight. So he took out an ad
dress book.
Don't ring that number until
after Seven," the lady called
back.

600 NAVY YARD
JOBS MAY CD

A. forecast that the proposed
discharge of $50 additional skilled
workers at the Washington Navy
Yard will be extended to three
and possibly four times tnat num-
Der, in the event that pending
naval construction legislation
fails in Congress, was made by
representatives of the employees
today.
The passage of the battIeship
mOderniZatiOn bill is considered
vital to the interests of the local
yard, and years delay IN en-
acting it may reduce the person
mel and the work production in
the naval gun factory more than
40 per cent.
Norfolk To Be Hit
Recent delevopments in Con-
gress, indicating that the battle
ship modernization bill, carrying
an appropriation of nearly $780,
100000, will be side-tracked, have
thrown CONSERVATION into the
ranks of the organized workers.
The effect of the failure of the
measure will be especially severe
in the Norfolk Navy Yard, but in
tine local yard it will have the
effect of reducing the capacity
of the plant for several years to
come.
600 May Lose Jobs
The estimate OF washington
Navy Yard workers who will be
affected by the failure of the
legislation ranges as high as
500, although Navy Department
officials have never gone higher
than $50 in their figures.

Several European nations, in
cluding Germany and France,
will be visited, and methods Of
detecting counterfeiting will be

COunterfeiting Gains
Chief Moran, of the Secret
Service, has insistently main
tanned that the smaller currency
adopted by the Treasury Depart
ment two years ago was a deter
rent to counterfeiting, but there
is group of experts in the
United States which declares that
the manufacturers Of bogus CUE
rency have increased in number
since the small-Size bills were
put into general circulation,

FARE BILL GOES
To CONFEREES

Another step towards legislation
for reduced street car fare for
school children in the District
was taken in the House this after
noon when, on motion of Repre-
sentative Mcleod (RD of Michi-
gan, the House sent to conference
the reduced fare bill as approved
by the Senate and House.
The House conferees appointed
were Representatives F.. N. Zihl-
man, of Maryland, Mcleod, and
Mary T. Norton of New Jersey,
all House District Committee
members.
The Senate is yet to appoint
cOnfereeS. Representative Nc
LeOd said that in conference the
House would seek to have the Sen
ate group agree to something ap-
prOximating the twO-cent fare for
children going to and from
schools, as provided in the House
bill.
The Senate bill provides that
the Public Utilities Commission
is empowered to fix reduced rates
on street cars and busses mot ex-
ceeding one-half of the CORE
spending concurrent adult fare" +"
It is believed that only with this
small difference in issue, an
agreement between Senate and
House is certain at this session of
Congress.

MORE TREMORS
JAR TOWNS IN
NEW ZEALAND
Extent of Damage Not Yet
Determined; Hastings and
Napier Are Again Rocked

WELLINGTON, New Zealand,
Feb. 13 UN.SO A short but ter
rifle earthshock of much greater
force than that which devastated
Napier and Hastings last week
Jared the whole of New Zealand
at 1928 p. m. today (9;28 p. m.
Thursday, Eastern standard time).
The temblor raced east along
the ocean floor and shook the
Chatham Islands. several hun
dred miles out in the Pacific
east of here.
Details Still Lacking
Whether extensive damages or
casualties were added to those
inflicted by last weeks earth
quake could not be ascertained
Immediately.
Dunedin, on South Island, re-
ported some damage to property
but it was believed that no casual
ties resulted there. An OminOpS
silence lated Waipukurau,
North Island town which suffered
extensively in the previous dis
aSter.
Napier in Confusion
In the ruined cities of Napier
and Hastings, confusion replaced
concentrated reconstruction work
when further shocks tumbled
more walls and buildings into the
dust. Last weeks death toll in
that territory was estimated in
the vicinity of 1000, in addition
to several thousand injured who
were evacuated to other districts
Fires, landslides and tidal waves
rode in the wake of the temblorS.

ALL WORLD
LAUDS HIS
TALKS
Some Interference Is Noted,
But Broadcast Held Best
In Brief History Of Radio

~ ~ WI '''SN" ''N'S
VATICAN CITY, Feb. 13
0.N.SO The world upon which
he pronounced solemn pontificial
blessing yesterday in the most
extensive radio broadcast ever
attempted, felicitated Pope Plus
XI today, and in hundreds Of
kilograms received here, con-
graduated his holiness for his
enterprise in setting a precedent
in papal history.
The voice of the pontiff, ad-
dressing itself in Sonorous Latin
and second time in native
Italian, to "all creation and ex-
tending an apostolic benediction
to "the city and world" was
heard by world audience Of un-
estimated millionS-an audience
encompassing the earth and its
peoples in a manner undreamed
Of by any Of the 260 preceding
popes.
Successful Reception
Although adverse atmospheric
conditions in some countries in
terfered with smooth reception of
the Pontiff's speech. the $50
broadcasting stations linked in an
intricate net for nearly two hours
to transmit the proceedings in
Vatican City, reported gratifying
results. From now on Vatican City
Station HVJ will be regularly ION
the air" each Monday at $3.50 p.
m. $3.50 a. m. Eastern standard
time).
Radio Waves Clash
Listeners in several countries,
particularly the United States, re-
ported an occasional shrieking
waxing and waning howl" that
threatened to drown out the
Pope'S words, as though whiStling
winds and waves were angry at
being circumvented by mans in
Vention.
Radio engineers were explained
that this was "heterodyning," or
interference caused by proximity
Of other stations and consequent
clashing of radio waves, resulting
in a very audible sound. Others
blamed deliberate interference by
unidentified foreign" stations.
Pope Plus, considered one of
the most progressive and popular
figures to occupy the pOntifical
throne, displayed keen interest
In his first appearance before
"the mike" Visibly moved as he
entered into the chamber of the
room which housed the most mod
ern and latest invention created
by man, he stood before its In
tricate machinery and looked long
and thOughtfully at the dials and
numerous appliances.
At the conclusion of the ad-
dress and on his way to the
Academy of Science for a second
speech, he said to the inventor:
To-day, through this great
modern discovery, we have
taken a definite contact with
all Christianity.
"The words of the Father
and Of the Son have now gone
out all over the globe"
From now on, the Pontiff will
have facilities at his command
to address the world or his
church workers whenever he
wishes. In his office there is a
special radio-telephone instru-
ment, permitting him to replace
former printed encyclicals and
other Papal announcements with
his own voice, and to give verbal
instructions to his nuncios, dele
gates and legates no matter how
far away they are in the world.
New Era In Worship
Vatican authorities predicted a
new era in Sunday worship,
visioning an early day when the
Pontiff himself will preach to
'sall faithful in their cathedrals
and parish churches. in their
seminaries and converts. in their
missions and universities, all
through the media of radio.
