PROSPERITY HOPE
IN OTTAWA PARLEY
Baldwin Believes Conference
Effects Should Reach Be-

OTTAWA, Ontaria, July 19-Stanley
Baldwin, former prime minister of Great
Britain and leading delegate to the I'M
perial Trade Conference, which opens
Thursday, believes the conference
should not confine itself to the British
empire but should point the way back
to prosperity to the world.
The delegates at Ottawa" he said al
Montreal yesterday, as he boarded the
special train prepared to bring the
British delegation here, "can reacn
agreements which will increase trade
between different parts CT the empire
and SO promote the well-being of every
unit of the empire.
But we also believe that by the
methods we adopt we can set an ex-
ample for the whole world in breaking
down obstacles to commerce, in aiding
revival of agriculture, industry and
trade and so bringing peoples safely
through the tragic depression Of recent
times"
Greeted by Crowds.
Delegations docked at pm, yester-
day at Montreal. delayed by collision
and q. fog in the st. Lawrence. They
were greeted by shrieking whistles and
great crowds.
They were brought here on special
trains last night.
There were here statesmen from
South Africa. Southern Rhodesia, In
dh, Great Britain, Northern Ireland
and the Irish Free State, Australia. New
Zealand and other sections of the Brit
ish Empire.
Dairy products and tea, wheat and
gold. rubber and wool, pigs and cattle,
Manchester textiles and Canadian furs
all became grist for the mill that is ex-
pected to grind out a specific for the
ills Of the empire's~-and perhaps the
worlds disorder.
The government of Manitoba at Win
nipeg urged the conference 10 make
dairy products into the United King
dom. It advised, however. that it saw
no advantage in United Kingdom
quota for wheat, since Great Britain S
total imports of wheat are less than
Canada's average exportable surplus.
Sterilization Of Exchange.
IL also urged StapllZatlon OF ex-
change within the empire and negoti-
ations to establish ocean cattle freight
rates from Canada based on weight
rather than number Of head.
Premier George F. Henry Of Ontario
told an audience at Toronto that
Canada must be prepared to lower her
tariff barriers if she expects to sell to
the rest of the world.
I'VE must throw overheard many OF
our old benefits" he said.
The Winnipeg declaration that no
advantage would be derived from a
British quota on wheat was the prairie
country's first indication of its attitude
on this question, one of the prominent
agricultural matters that will be before
the conference. The Manitoba govern
ments suggestion was based on two
conferences called last May by Premier

The great st. Lawrence seaway Is tt

a sort of super r-government commission
and on strictly business basis.
The ponderous name Of the organiza-
tion, specified in the treaty signed yes
terday between the United States and
Canada. is the ST. Lawrence Interna-
tional Rapids Section Commission.
Its work on the s543 600, 900 project
will be lust as ponderous as its name
but the plan is to let it be as free from
governmental red tape as the ordinary
contractor.
Five TO Be Named by Each.
Five members are to be appointed by
each country as soon as the treaty is
ratified by the United States Senate
which meets In December, and the
Canadian Parliament. which convenes
early next year.
Because Of subsequent necessary de-
lay in obtaining appropriations, work
OF course, cannot begin until some time
after that. But the 10 men named tc
the commission will have ample author
ity to push the project for a 27-toot
channel from Montreal to Lake Ontario
They will have authority to make con-
tracts, sue and be sued and employ all
the help they need. They will see that
wages paid workers equal those preva
lent in the community.
They will not however have the
right to direct construction Of the
power plants to develop 100000 horse
power, although they can coordinate
these with the seaway. They can order

than if such infection is not pre-
vented.
In the presence Of the infection,
absolute cleanliness is of the great
est Importance. One of the safest
and best cleaners of germs is ordi-
nary alcohol.
One physician recommended that
the face bepainted each night with
80 per cent alcohol and found that
the pimpleS and blackheads tended
to disappear promptly.
However, any good antiseptic that
does not stain the skin and that
does not irritate should be satisfac-
tory for the purpose.
Of course, the formation of boils
or small assesses in the skin con-
stitutes a demand for careful medi-
cal attention.
If boil or a pimple approaching
boil forms, it is necessary to draw
out the infected material, to clean
the area thoroughly with soap and
water, and to apply antiseptic solu-
lions thereafter.

T THINK that Alfred E. Smith

1t is not within my right or the
right of any other man to suggest
what he should say. That is his
own business, and we think that he
should tend to it.
Any man who ever has followed
the leadership of Al Smith is in
order if he suggests with great firm
ness that the happy warrior ought
to take the world into his conf
dence as to which direction he has
chosen.
am aware that Mr.. Smith an
nounced his support of the Demo-
cratic platform without mentioning
names. But this was SO perfunctory
gesture that it carried neither Al
nor those who love him to first base.
The followers of Smith are not
accustomed to finding him make a
declaration with no more than the
waggle of a little finger or the lift
Of the right eyebrow. The average
citizen has a right to seal his lips
against all inquiring reporters and
to present a dead pan to the world
around him.
AL Smith has no such right 1t
is not his privilege to go into the
silence, for he has spent too many
years shouting to shock troops to
come on.

Walker Is Failure

XXTALKER wants to run, natu-
w rally, but that is a matter
Of personal pride, rather than pub
lie interest. Whether innocent or
guilty of the charges brought
against him, he is an obvious fail
ure.
He not only has developed cost
ly administration and jeopardized
the city's credit, but has put him
self in position of antagonism to
the Democratic national ticket.
The city organization could not
support him without placing itself
in similar position. If it were to
succeed in re-electing him, it would
have to assume responsibility for
the kind Of administrator he would
give.
The past is a warning of what
that implies.
Walker has resigned. Why not
let it stand? Mckee has stepped
into his place, with every appear
ance of being able and DESTROYS of
giving New York City the kind of
administration which existing cir
cumstances require. Why not let
that stand?

Delaying Prosperity

Politics is paralyzing an American policy which
could help restore prosperity.
This explains this statement by Secretary of State
Stimson ut ought TO be unnecessary to continue to
repeat that there have been negotiations discussions
or conversations between this government and the
European governments on the subject of debts and
reparations."
Secretary Of Treasury Mills said the thing
Thursday.
The Republican administration knows that the
same causes which necessitated the Hoover morato-
rum now necessitates further negotiations, 1t knows
that foreign governments intention of paying
those debts in full.
1t knows that the Lausanne reparations settlement
to which the President and Republican campaign ora
tors attribute financial recovery will fall unless but
tressed by similar debt accord 1t knows that Euro
pean nations made the Lausanne agreement the
understanding that the United states would discuss
debt revsions after Europe disposed of the PREPARATIONS
problem
1t knows that this unsettled debt problem is one
major cause for international financial chaos.
Then why does not the administration do its duty
and begin negotiations for a settlement? The
swer is that the administration has been carrying on
such negotiations, informally and unoffically for
more than year. but it is afraid to admit the TRUTH
and afraid to continue those negotiations at this crit
ical time, because Of the election campaign.
The politicians have msinformed the public so
long and often regarding the debt problem that pol
itcians now afraid of the public ignorance they
created
The Democrats as bad as the Republicans-as
witness the Democratic platform and the Roosevelt
speeches. But the Republican responsibility is greater
because the Republicans are in Office.
The public ignorance and misunderstanding
which the politicians fear, has disappeared largely
The terrible facts of this depression have opened the
eyes of the public The public willing to listen to any
constructive debt proposal that will help restore pros
perity
This is proved by the remarkably enthusiastic pub
lie response to Senator Borahs campaign trade debt
reduction for armament reduction and to Alfred E.
Smiths proposal to trade debt reduction for foreign
trade increases.
Whatever Hoover, Stimson and Mills on the one
and Roosevelt and the Democrats on the other side
may say about it during the election campaign, the
next administration is going to make some kind OF
rev debt settlement
The is true Of the international economic con-
ference which just has been postponed indefinitely
on Hoovers order.
But it national disgrace that election politics
Is allowed to sdetrack until next year prosperity
measures needed now. q
