LONDON, April 15.-Hailing a new era, Andrew w.

 Before the address, Ambassador Mellon drank with the others, toastS in champagne to King George and the President of the United States, in accordance with his seriously expressed intention to conform to the customs of the country.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-A rapidly declining birth-rate may be of scant concern now to the average producer or consumer struggling to keep out of the red but it has become a real problem for several economists.
 With over production already diagnosed as world nlalady, something must be done within the next quarter of a century these economists assert, to gear agri- cultural and industrial production to a prospectively stable or de- clining population.
 In northwestern Europe, where most of our agricultural exports and large share of the indus trial exports go, as well as in the United States, the birth-rate has been declining for 50 years.

NASSutidttu IrCcS Tdfih EuAtVif
 WASHINGTON, April 15 Tt becomes increasingly apparent both political conventions this summer may be asked to write into their platforms a plank for reform of the country's monetary system.
 Edward A. O'Neal, President of the American Farm Bureau Fed eration, which, with the National Grange and the Farmers Union, is demanding return of what he terms the honest dollar" says that if Congress does not fulfill it's Constitution obligation to reg ulate the value of money the farm groups will ego before the nation on this gnsat issue"
 Honest Dollar"
 The honest dollar" is a gold standard dollar, but one suffic- iently deflated to bear the same relation to commodity values as existed in the period of 1921-192e Bills extant propose the Federal Reserve Board be instructed tc change the quantity of gold in the dollar until it's purchasing power is no greater than the index price level of the more than TOO majol commodities.
 Indirectly, the process would

Farm Leaders Urge Money Reualuation; Planks May Be
 Sought, Party Platforms

be one of commodity imitation since it would increase the number Of dollars that could be bought with a given quantity of any commod- ity.
 It is because more wheat and more cotton and more cattle are required in exchange for the same number of dollars that organized agriculture insists on a reyalua- tion of money based on the 1926 level of farm prices and the dol lar stabilized at that point.
 Purchasing Power
 If that were done commodity and money values henceforth would fluctliate in direct ratio and corn or pig iron would be constant in purchasing power
 Congress has before 1t the so- called Fisher bill to change the price of gold from time to time to correspond to changes in the general commodity price level and the revised Goldsborough bill which embodieS clements of the old Ram seyer, Strong, Keller, Burtness and Goldsborough bills calling for res toration of the pre-deflation com modity price level.
 They are strongly opposed in powerful banking circles.
 The effect of either bill would be to raise the farm price level 40 per cent.

HONOR SHAVING
 DEFENSE OPENS
 HONOLULU CASE
Lieut.. Massie, One of Four Defendants, Is Placed
 on Stand
ATTORNEY DARROW
 INITIATES ACTION
Navy Man May Assume the Blame for Killing in Fit
 of Insanity

HONOLULU, T. IT., April 15.- The defense in the "honor staying" opened yesterday.
 Four defendants are the centers in this human drama. They are Mrs. Granville Fortescue, Lieut.. Thomas H. Massie, E. J. Lord and A. O. Jones, the latter three navy men, charged with the alleged kill ing of Joseph Kahahawai, one of the assaulters of. Lieut.. Massies young wife.
 Lieut.. Massie was the first witt ness, a defendant, called to the stand.
 Disclosure Made
 The veteran crimi n al lawyer. Clarence Darrow, disclosed that one of the defendants would admit the shooting in 8 fit of insanity. Ques- tioning indicated that this would be Massie.
 While Lieut.. Massie testified, Mrs. Fortescue wept silently.
 Lieut.. Massie testified as to how the assault preyed on his and his wife's mind He testified that his wife had to undergo an operation after the attack of the Hawaiian to avoid becoming mother.
 Crime Revealed
 Lieut.. Massie said he missed his wife at dance, when she went for 8 walk. He finally located her at home, face swollen, lips bleeding, clothes torn. He said she wanted to die. Lieut.. Massie told of how she revealed the attack made on her and he took her to hospital for treatment. He said he tried in vain to sleep after her story had been told to him.
 The trial is called the 'honor' case because of the outraging of the fundamental principles of civi- lization-the purity of womanhood
 All other laws may fail and the race progress but if woman's honor is trampled undefended, all is lost in chaos.
 Womanhood
 Mrs. Fortescue epitomizes wom- anhood in Hawaii and the United States. Not only is she standing for woman's position in Hawaii, but for A m e. ri c a n womanhood and and motherhood everywhere.
 Lieut.. Massie is standing at her side to right a cruel wrong per- petrated upon his defenseless wife. The two American men of the Ma " are standing for upholding the honor of the navy and it's attitude toward American women.
 Community Involved
 The community of Honolulu, in this particular instance, is also sit- ting in the seats of the defendants, in one sense. The community Of Ho n olulu drove Mrs. F'ortescue, Lieut.. MaSsie, Jones and Lord to their activities, whatever they were, on January 8, when the crime with which they are charged was com mitted
