BUT DOLLAR GAINS
Pressure in Foreign Exchange
Markets LightenS-StoCkS
Are Lower.
BY the Associated Press.

6y JHo ASSOCldbeu FIeSS.
NEW YORK, May 4-Pressure
against the American dollar hghtened
somewhat in the foreign exchange mar
kets today, but Federal Government
bonds were again depressed.
Selling OF the United States Govern
ment obligations was attributed by
dealers to the shattering of the econ
omy bill in the House yesterday. Three
of the Treasury issues declined more
than a full point, or $40 per bond of
81 900 par value.
Although selling of the American
dollar was smaller than it was yeSter-
day, several of the European gold cur
rencies continued to advance. The
French, franc sagged a little, then
stiffened, getting up to 3947s cents, up
Il point for cable transfers The
Belgian franc, however, was lower. The
Holland horin continued its advance
at the expense of the dollar, reaching
40.62 cents, up .02 of l cent, and the
Swiss franc rose oil of cent to
1850.
These currencies we're at levels which
would make gold exports from New
York profitable The British pound
sterling was also higher, getting up l
cent to S3.67A for cables.

slow decline,

ARLINGTON GIVEN
INGERSOLL ASHES
Famous Agnostic Was Founder and
Leader of Illinois Cavalry
in Civil War.

In a grave near that Of America s
Unknown Soldier the ashes of Robert
Green Ingersoll, whose outspoken ag-
nostic views were an obstacle to his
advancement to political eminence,
were inferred today
Senator Copeland Of New York and
Representative Hull Of Illinois spoke at
the burial ceremony, held at 10 O'Clock.
The service Of Bob" Ingersoll as
founder and leader of the 11th Illinois
Cavalry in the Civil War permitted his
burial in Arlington National Cemetery.
A group Of notables, his daughter, Mrs
Wallace Marcus Probasco, and several
more distant relatives attended the
services. The ashes were brought here
from New York yesterday by Mrs. Pro-
basco.
Ingersoll died at DobbS Ferry, N. Y,
July 81, 1899, at the age of Sc.
1t was he who, in burst of oratory,
first gave the name, THE Plumed
Knight" to James G. Blaine, and who
placed him in the nomination for
presidency at the Republican conven-
ton of 1876.
During the war Ingersoll was cap
tured by Confederate forces. He waited
In vain to be exchanged, and resigned
from military service while still a
prisoner.

might wreck the Arms Conference now

he said. may save us some money until
we squabble and fight perhaps over the
application Of a lot of complicated

The speaker urged some sort Of in
ternational organization to administer
justice.
Fears Political Reaction.
No action should be taken on the
World Court until after the November
elections to prevent the issue from de-
veloping into a political foot ball. -
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader, told the organization
last night.
Three reasons for the Senates delay
in taking action we're cited by Robinson.
They were:
First, the Senate has necessarily
given priority to domestic emergency
legislation.
Second, If the resolution Of ratifica-
ton were on the calendar now under
present conditions a majority of the
Senate would not vote to take it up.
Frankly, this condition may continue
until the close of the present session
unless 1t should be prolonged until late
Summer"
The third consideration making for
delay was given by Robinson as the
controversy in committee over the effect
of the Root formula on the Senate's
fifth reservation" of 1926 refusing ad-
visory opinions on questions involving
the United States without its consent.

ton of political parties and its
pervasion of legislatures, which
even touched at the Capital Of

Amendment smashed that
regime as by a stroke Of light
ming. 1 can not consent to the
return of that system.
"At the same time we must
recognize the difficulties which
have developed in making the
Eighteenth Amendment effec-
tive and that grave abuses
have grown up. In order to
secure the enforcement Of the
amendment under our dual
form of government, the con-
stitutional provision called for
concurrent action on one hand
by the State and local authori'
ties and on the other by the
Federal Government. It's IN
forcerent requires independent
but coincident action of both
agencies. An increasing num-
ber of States and municipalities
are proving themselves unwill-
ing to engage in such en-
forcement. Due to these forces
there is in large sections an
increasing illegal traffic in
liquor. But worse than this
there has been in those areas a
spread of disrespect not only
for this law but for all laws,
grave dangers of practical null

a degeneration in municipal

step backward would result in a
chaos of new evils never yet ex-
perienced, because the local sys-

trolls which were developed over
generations have been in large
degree abandoned under the
amendment.
"The Republican platform rec

GERMANS LIKE

men today. A spokesman said:
1--WE are extremely pleased
over President HOover's ad-
dress, especially his recognition
and frank expression that the
Treaty of Versailles is the root
of the atmosphere of hate and
SuSpician and fear in Europe.
'It has filled Germany with
renewed confidence that the
Versailles treaty will be revised,
enabling Germany to attain
equality with other nations and
aid in the reconstruction Of
Europe"
German newspapers in general
commended Mr.. Hoover'S war debt
exchange proposal as well as his
outspoken stand on prohibition.

The complete text of the Pres

Across the path of the ma

vast problems of economic and

a bitter controversy over the
control of the liquor traffic. 1
have always sympathized with
the high purpose of the Eight
eenth Amendment and 1 have
used every power at my COM
mand to make it effective over
the entire country.
IT have hoped it was the final
solution of the evil Of the
liquor traffic against which our
people have striven for genera
tions. It has succeeded in great
measure in those many COM
munities where the majority
sentiment is favorable to it.
But in other and increasing
numbers OF communities there
is a majority sentiment unta-
vorable to it. Laws opposed by
majority sentiment create re-
sentiment which undermincs en-
forcement and in the end pro-
,duces degeneration and crime:

OF
MANCHURIA is
TOKIO'S THREAT
Drastic Step to Be Taken if
Territory Fails to Give
Obedience.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Scrinps-Howard Foreign Editor.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A. Unless
Manchuria quickly subsidies and
settles down to quiet obedience to
the dictates of Nippon, annexation
is inevitable, according to japanese
newspapers received here.
Most of the articles dealing with
the japanese dispute seem to
be by military men. And there IS
certain similarity about them all,
as if inspired by the same source.
This is regarded as Significant, IN
view of the fact that the present
government at Toxic is thinly dis
guised military dictatorship.
Little pretense is made that the
10000. 900 inhabitants of Manchuria
really rose up spontaneously, de-
clared their independence from
China and requested japanese pro-
lection. On the contrary, the writ
ers tacitly admit the whole thing
was inspired"
Annexation Then Certain
The present government" of
Manchukuo, it is agreed, is COM
posed of a japanese steel frame"
behind a Chinese facade. If this
works out satisfactorily, well and
good.
Otherwise, if "old intrigues and
rivalries show signs of raising their
heads" obstructing Japans great
mission on the Asian mainland" it
will be just too bad. Annexation
will be inevitable"
Discarding the familiar story that
japanese can not do we'll in Man
churia in competition with the Chi
nese, the writer's frankly present a
different picture. In the first place,
Japanese farmers no longer are able
to make the ends meet at home. If
colonized in choice, well-selected
areas in Manchuria, they can and
should succeed-particularly if sub
sidized and otherwise looked after
by the government.
That is precisely what Japan pro-
poses to do, it is added. Regiment
after regiment of ex-Soldiers, mostly
farm youths, are being QUILTED for
Manchuria. They will go equipped
to fight as well as to farm, and will
be settled, for the most part, along
the railways, generally within twelve
miles.
Will Live Like Army
Each outfit will be officered pre-
cisely as in the army. Individuals
will carry army rifles, and units
will be we'll supplied with machine
guns and ammunition. All will have
regulation uniforms and women will
not be permitted to accompany their
men. They must wait until houses
are built.
Though each man will be allotted
a plot of several acres, the emf
grants will live in communities, or
villages, loopholed for defense.
Males will be drilled regularly and
all must take an oath of compul-
sorry military service IF and when
needed"
In addition" comments the Bri-
tish-owned and ordinarily pro-Jap-
anese North-China Herald, 'the
property of the former rulers of this
new/Garden Of Eden and that of
their adherents, will be confiscated,
and will be placed, not at the dis
posal of the inhabitants of Man
chukuo, but of that of the Japanese
emigrants. Chinese immigration
will be restricted"

In the Soup
Birds Nests From Orient
Have British Customs
Z Officials BaffIed.

By United Press
7 ONDON, Nov. 4.-Oficials of
IL the British board of trade
and customs are in the throes of
a deep controversy over the de-
f1nition to be given birds nests.
A small number of nests from
the orient, priced by epicures for
their succulent properties in
making, find their way into
Great Britain each year. The
customs list does not name them.
Import duty technicians spent
hours, therefore, trying to deter
mine if birds nest is a vegetable,
fruit, fabric or a building
material. British gourmets insist
the imported nests are anbrosia,
on which there is no duty.
