LONDON, March 26.-Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald today invited
Premier Tardieu of France and the
foreign ministers of Germany and Italy
to come here next month to talk about
a plan for giving economic aid to the
countries of the Danube Valley.
An official statement said the confer

its details had not been arranged. Be-
cause most of the government officials
abroad are away over Easter no an-wers
to the invitation had been received to-
night.
Premier Tardieu said in Paris, how
ever, that he had accepted the invita-
ton and said it was for next week end.
He indicated that the reparations and
war debts questions rising out Of Ger
many's declared inability to continue
reparations payments, also would be
discussed.
The Danubian plan has been under
discussion for long time and last week
it was learned that the League of Ma
tions Finance Committee would recon-
mend loans to scme of the Danubian
countries and reduction in the foreign
debt services of some of the others.
theoretically the plan for helping
those nations is move toward Aristide
Brands ideal of a United States of
Europe The French have long been
interested in the project and Premier
Tardieu's plan was for a sort of Dan
ubian customs union to be mapped out
before the great powers met. His plan
would inaugurate a system of prefer
ential tariffs affecting the nations con-

A conference between the prime
ministers of France and Great Britain

government looks toward the imperial
conference at Ottawa in June for a
guiding hand, rather than to the Eu-
ropean continent.
A short London meeting would have
its hands full with the Danubian
schemes, which already have produced
much conflicting material
Germany, Italy and France have out
lined proposals which the British gov

GAIN IN WET VOTE

Thirty-one votes cast for bringing the
Beck-Linthicum anti-prohibition resolu-
tion before the House were termed
mot wet" yesterday by the Methodist
Board Of Tmperance, Prohibition and
Public Morals.
The boards weekly Clip Sheet, analyz-
ing the House vote on bringing up the
measure to turn liquor control back tc
the States, said:
THE vote was not vote on the
merits of the proposition itself.
1t is practically certain that not less
than 81 of those voting aye would have
refused to support the Beck-Linthicum
resolution If and when it might have
come up for consideration and passage
for these 81 men have approved the
Jones-Stalker bill, the most drastic pro-
hibition measure ever enacted by Con-
gress
Maximum Strength Put at ISO.
In polling $50 to l55 apparently wei
votes, the -prohibitionists registered
distinct gain over their last recorded
vote. Much of this gain was simply in
cidental to the reaction from the Hoover
many drys from normally wet districts
in the North
1T is probable that under the re.
apportionment bill, which gives repre-
sentation in Congress to millions oi
aliens at the expense of native and
naturalized American citizens, they will
further swell the wet vote. There is
however, no reason to anticipate that
the vote at its maximum will ever ex-
coed IT'S to 180, or substantially IS
short of an actual majority.
Both Parties Still Dry.
"a profoundly significant feature oi
the vote was its disclosure that bott
parties are still decisively and almost
equally dry.
The overwhelming Southern vote
against the resolution serves an ominou,
warning upon the cabal which ha.
wrenched control of the Democratic
National Committee from the majority
of that party. . -
The reserve strength of the pro.
hfbitionists was significant. There
were two vacancies in the House, thu
