commitments during their discus sions.
 we both shared the view" he said, that our respective countries should enter the conference with hands completely untied.'
 He said they discussed in detail the subjects on the agenda of the conference, including tariffs, im- port quotas, exchange control and the stability of international cur rency.
 Disarmament also was discus sed, Macdonald announced.
 "The mutual understanding be- tween ourselves and the American government" he said, "has been materially improved by the discus sion I had with the president, for whose friendly hospitality and ufl- reserved helpfulness the warm est thanks of the government are due"
 Referring to debts, Macdonald said:
 We discussed and frankly ex- amined the problem in all it's as- poets. The exchanges of views were of particular importance, as they brought out in well-defined detail what differences had to be reconciled, not only in the final scheme but in the immediate handling of the question"
 Norman Davis, President Roose- velts special ambassador, heard the speech from the distinguished visitors gallery.
 George Lansbury. labor leader, asked for and received a promise that Macdonald would make a fuller statement on the govern ment's policy regarding the world economic conference when general debate is held Tuesday.
 MacDonald's disclosure that war debts would not be injected into the world economic conference inn mediately revived Britain's hopes of obtaining a moratorium until after the conference.
 It was also interpreted as a clear-cut victory for the United States on procedure of the confer ence, since the preparatory com mission of experts had recom- mended that war debts should be settled or on the road to settle- ment before the conference con- vened.

Third Prosecutor
 Bill Awaited

by House Chairman Raymond Baldwin.
 Efforts to cut down court ex- penses in Ansonia and Bridgeport, both democratic measures, have been reported unfavorably by the committee. In both instances. however, opposition appeared and spoke against the bills.
 Yesterdays case was different. Everybody who spoke. republi- cans and democrats alike, all ap- peared for the bill and nobody voiced objections to the measure. Those present at the hearing and those who spoke were some of the leading citizens of Waterbury.
 The committee reserved decis- ion after hearing several speakers. including the mayor. Now it re- mains to be seen whether the re- port on the bill will be favorable or unfavorable.
 The naming of the prosecutors and clerk of the city court is being held up pending the decision of the Legislature on the third pros- ecutor bill. Therefore, speedy &C., ton is desired.
 On the other hand if the bill Is reported favorably it will place the republicans in an embarrassing place as Judge John F. McGrath of the Waterbury city court will be called to choose between either Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers or Prosecutor Charles Summa. The latter is backed by Congressman E. w. Goss. Therefore, some of the opposition is opposed to the passage of the bill merely to es- cape embarrassment.

collapes. Prices dropped, and de- spite Cuba's strenuous efforts to stabilize production prices have been falling ever since.
 In 1920 the total value of Cuba's sugar crop was'nine times as great as it had been in the pre-war year of 1913. But, as re. cent reports show, the 1920 value was IS times as great as that of the 1891 crop.
 Cuba has not defaulted on any of its foreign debt, although the government has borrowed heavily from New York banks, but defi- cit of from $10,000,000 to s15,- 000,000 is indicated in the 1888 budget. Thousands of govern ment employees are far behind in their pay, though taxes have been boosted greatly.
 The history of the little island which now engages the attention of the nation as the result of President Roosevelt's action in taking a hand in its internal af- fairs is romantic.
 Revolts Aren't New
 Discovered by Columbus on his first voyage in 1492, it was first occupied by Spaniords in 1512. It became a base for Cortez, De Soto and other early Spanish explorers, and was ruled for cen turies by Spanish governors who virtually enslaved the population.
 Toward the middle of the nine- teenth century, when echoes of independence waited back from the Andes as Simon Bolivar be- gan the liberation of South Ameri- ca from Spain, the Cubans launched a revolt for freedom. There ensued a long and bloody rebellion. Numerous wholesale executions and massacres by the Spanish quelled the rebellion.
 After several minor revolutions, equally unsuccessful; Cuba's smoldering desire for liberty from Spain famed up against in the Cuban war for liberation in 1895.
 The mysterious explosion that destroyed the battleship Main in Havana harbor in 1898, never fully explained, brought the United States into this conflict with the result that Cuba was freed and set up as republic and Spanish power vanished from this hemf- sphere after nearly 400 years.

 Even with skilled physicians within easy call and modern drug stores nearby, where fresh, potent drugs can be purchased at any time, the home medicine chest still persists as a family tradition, Dr Knowlton said; sometimes its shelves contain many inefficient patent medicines. for people are still gullible. A recent estimate of annual expenditures for medicines places the money spent by the American people on patent medi- cines at $360,00O,000 and on'medi- cines prescfibed by physicians at $190,

All of Italy Feasts as Labor Day Is Cele-
 brated

Rome-UP)-Ro celebrated its 2,6S6 birthday to-day. since. according to the tradition, the city was founded in 753 B.C.
 To-day was, at the same time, Labor Day, which was created by Mussolini in 1883 to replace the feast of May 1, which the Social ists all over the world have ob- served since 1890. In consequence of the festivity, work was at a standstill throughout Italy. All public and private buildings and offices were closed, and no news- papers were printed.
 Many celebrations were held here and throughout Italy to com memorate the birthday of the Eternal City. Five statues of Ro- man emperors were unveiled in va- rious parts of the magnificent Via dell'Impero, or Empire Way, here, which was inaugurated on October 28 and was constructed amid the ruins of the imperial fora. The statues represent Augustus. Ves- pasian, Titus, Nerva and Trajan.
 Many public works in many parts of Italy also were inaugu- rated.
 The main celebration through out Italy consisted in the so- called Fascist Levy" the seventh made so far, whereby Fascist chil. dren and young men were "levied" into the various branches of the party. Ceremonies to this effect were held on especially raised stands in the main squares of the towns and cities. Over 120,OOO "Balilla," children from 10 to Is, passed into the ranks of "Avan- guardisti." More than 105.000 "Avanguardisti," young men from 15 to Is, were transferred into the ranks of the Juvenile Fighting Easel" while 14S,209 of the latter group passed into the ranks of the Fascist National Militia and be- came full-hedged members of the Fascist party.

He is vice president of the Whitehead & Kales Co and president of the Kales Stamping company.
 Syracuse, N. r., May 4.-(UP)- The socially prominent Mrs Harold Edward. aunt of Peggy McMath, has offered to act as intermediary with the kidnapers of the child if necessary.
 Mrs Edward said, however, that she did not know why the kidnap- CTS should come to her unless be- cause of police vigilance in Massa- chusetts. She is sister of Neil c. McMath, father of the kidnapped girl.

 Per capita money holding in Cuba slumped from $49.47 in 1928 to $19 in 1881 to $5.30 in the early part of 1888. Foreign trade has dropped from nearly $500,- 000,00 in 1929 to an estimated O,000,000 this year.

 Lee declared that while nearly -45 hours of silence had elapsed sssince the 10-year-old girl was stolen from the village school, he and Peggy's parents. MT and Mrs Neil C. McMath. "are very hope .ful.''
 Lee revealed. incidentally, that, sbrave and cheerful, Peggy's mother, an attractive woman of 3S. was bearing up remarkably and aiding the search in every possible way. We are all hopeful" Lee said. s'and we have no reason to believe that the child will come to harm, sbecause this is not a case of re- yenge or spite.
 MT and Mrs McMath both had five or six hours sleep last night. Mrs McMath is working with us in every possible way and has at no time broken down. There has been no weeping. no giving away"
 Lee announced that his uncle, Aaron Davis. an advertising man at 205 East 42nd street, New York. had agreed to serve as the family s agent in dealings with the press or. If possible, with the abductors.
 He will serve as our New York contact man." Lee said.
 During the 15-minute interview, Lee, who faintly resembles Colonel { Charles A. Lindbergh, stood in the sunshine in the front yard of his home. clad in a white shirt, open at the neck, and khaki trousers.
 His eyes were red-rimmed and he seemed sleepy, but he was cheerful as he discussed the case. Lee said he did not know the clue which caused 40 state troopers in 20 radio equipped patrol cars to converge upon the ancient Indian P village of Mashpee, 20 miles west of here, this morning.

THREE LAG ON
 OTTAWA PACT

London, (UP)-Three parts of the British empire to date have not fulfilled their obligations un- der the reciprocal tariff agree ments negotiated at the Ottawa imperial economic conference. They are Ceylon, Malta and the Cayman Islands.
 Under the agreements, however, they have been obtaining prefer ential tariff rates for their prod ucts in the British market.
 In the case of Ceylon there is apparent disinclination to grant preferences to British goods, all though the secretary of state for the colonies, Sir Philip Cunliffe- Lister. at Ottawa, obligated Cey- lon to grant such preferences.
 As a result, the British govern ment shortly is preparing to with draw some of the preferences granted to Ceylonese products un- less Ceylon takes some recipro- cal action.
 In the case of Malta and the Cayman Islands, the delay is due to the infrequent meetings of their legislative bodies.

 Meanwhile, the boys at the asy- lum twitted Jacob Melinzok about the paper back novels he reads at every spare moment. And Jake" who is credited with the slicker- moving idea by which the train was Jagged, blushed as he ran off to school.
 He's always reading" said Fleming, organizer of the expedi- tion that went down to the tracks during last nights storm to see why the ties were floating loose. "He reads stories about the poor boy who catshes the robber and the bank presidents daugh- ter. Bet you he's read about the boy saving train and marrying the railroad presidents daughter"
 The boys were pleasantly sur- prised that the train stopping had created so much excitement but they accepted with adult calm the plaudits of the 500 commuters and the attentions of reporters and photographers.
 It was the only thing to do, they explained. The loose ties were float ng into their garden and the tracks were undermined so they lined up. one behind the other and waved their yellow slickers until Engi- leer John McGlin came to a stop.
 But McGlin thought 1t was a ooyish jest.

The best medicine chest contains only 8 teaspoon, a clinical thermometer with the Connecti- cut seal to insure it's accuracy, a hot water bottle, an ice pack. an antiseptic solution, some cooking soda or essence of peppermint for acvid stomach, some common salt for use in a gargle or nasal douche and a first aid kit. These are all that are needed to meet amergen- cies until the doctor comes.
 All boxes and bottles of reme- dies should be plainly marked with the name, use, dose and date of purchase. They should be tight ly closed, the bottles preferably with glass shoppers. About twice a year, the contents should be checked over and if necessary re- stocked. On these occasions. all unused portion of remedies pre- scribed by the physician shouM be thrown away.

During the war, when European beet sugar production practically ceased and a world sugar shortage developed, Cuban sugar prices be. gan to soar and continued upward for several years until normal pro- duction was resumed.
 The peak came between 192O and 1924, the era known in Cuba as "The Time of the Fat Cow" Prices skyrocketed Cuban raw sugar sold in. New York for up- wards of II cents pound. Sugar planters grew wealthy; huge re- turns from sugar attracted many millions in American capital with resulting greatly increased sugar production.

Washington Thirty years ar : ter American troops freed Cuba
 from four centuries of Spanish rule, this island republis now / practically belongs to Uncle Sam. Cuba's business is largely in the ' hands of Americans or Is dollar
 controlled. Our investments in sCuba are exceeded only by those : in Canada and Cuba normally Is ,. Uncle Sam's best Latin-American
 customer.
 Total foreign investments in Cuba are around $1,900,000,000. of which Americans hold $1.750,000,- 1000. Much of this investment is in the sugar industry, Cuba's principal crop, now suffering from ! the worst conditions in it's history In view of Americas tremend- ]. ous stake there, the task that lies : before Sumner Welles, newly ap-
 revolt-torn island, is exertmely important.
 Welles' selection also portends reforms in the administration of
 President Gerardo Machado, Gu
 ba's dictator, who is maintaining himself in office by ruthless repression of his political enemies. rThere can be no economic 1m- -provement in Cuba until stable
 government returns, say observers, and there can be no return of sta- ble government under the wave of terrorism and suppressed reyolu-
 ton that now exists.
 The Sugar Shrinkage
 In addition to bringing to bear
 diplomatic pressure that may force ga change in Machado's political : policies, the Rooseveltian new
 deaf' is said to have other plans
 to help pacify Cuba. If Cubans will ! agree to calm down and quit fight ting. Uncle Sam may offer them some reciprocal tariff agreement
 that would aid their distressed sugar industry and pave the way flor economic restoration.

 Expense of transporting 100 pounds of raw sugar from the Gu ban mill to the warehouse in New York is approximately A cents. Thus, at 70 cents hundred pounds, this leaves approximately 26 cents which must take care Of the cane and mill operating costs. This is said to be below produc- tion cost.
 Largely as the result of this economic blight in Cuba's biggest industry, there are half million unemployed among Cuba's 4,000.- 900 population. Wages in all lines have fallen greatly and on many
