 MT Hedden will tell of his eX- periences in Europe and of the splendid work the Y is doing in those countries. YMCA work is fast becoming divorced from America as fewer countries need American secretaries and depend on their own men as leaders. The Y at pres ent has field staff of % men in 32 countries training native scere. taries to take over their work.

TRUCK MEASURE MISUNDERSTOOD
 SAYS N. H. ROAD
Manufacturer, Merchant, Farmer and Occasional Trucker for Hire Are Specifically Exempted

Declaring that the bill now pend ing before the Connecticut general assembly under which common car rier and contract carrier mootr trucks would be regulated has been misinterpreted in some in- stances with apparent willfulness. as to the trucks to which it ap- plies, officials of the New Haven railroad, who advocated passage of the measure at the committee hear ing, to-day issued the following statement
 'IIouse Bill No 797 which would provide for the regulation of mo- tor vehicles for hire on the high ways has been misunderstood and misinterpreted, in some instances with the apparent wilfulness in or der to deceive certain interests i'm to opposing it. Under this bill farmers, merchants and manufac- turers or any other person who transports his own property or products are specifically excluded from the regulatory provisions. Attempts have been made to lead many who come within these cat egories to believe that they would be subjected to the same regula- ton as common carrier and con- tract trucks, should the measure be enacted.
 Further, House Bill No 797 does not apply even to common and contract carriers operating eX- clusively within the limits of a city or town or between such city or town and immediately adjoin- ing cities and towns. It does not apply to motor vehicles engaged exclusively in the transportation of property for any branch of the government of the United States, or for any county. city borough or town or trough a contractor. It does not apply to any person who does not regularly and prin- cipally engage in the transporta- tion business but who may occa- sionally transport property of oth- CTS for hire. It excludes incident al transportation of newspaper and miscellaneous small parcels by motor busses.
 House Bill No 797 does place common carriers, sue has trucks operated by the railroad and con- tract carrier motor tucks under the regulation of the Public Utili- ties commission. It is designed to do away with rate discrimina. tions and other abuses regulated out of existence half a century ago. but now rampant again due to the fact that motor truckinl for hire is as yet unregulated Railroad operation and the opera cion of railroad owned trucks is strictly regulated so, it is fair that their highway competitors likewise be regulated"

TRIAL OF 0,00O ACTION STARTS TO-DAY
Great Britain Has Made No Provision
 To Pay War Debts

London. April 2J - (UP)-No
 provision for paying war debts to
 the United States. are made in the current budget, Neville Chamber lain, chancellor of the exchequer,
 told the house of commons to-day. Explaining the omission, Cham berlain said ''it must be obvious" that no figures On war debts "can be considered final.' indicating Britain's confidence in coming revision.
 Chamberlain said if it had not been for the December 15 war debt
 payment of $95,5j0,00O which Brit ain met. there would have been a
 deficit for 1932-33 of only 3.200,O0O pounds (S12,705, 900 with the pound at $3.Sj) instead of 32,0O0,-
 900 ($123,2OO,O0O) as at. present
 He continued reciting the past years figures in a monotone. with
 habitual professional gesture of strokinS his chin.
 | The Lausanne agreement, Cham
 berlain said, suspended certain reparations and war debts due to | Britain.
 They are at present in sus- | pensc," he said. "Soonor or later
 d final settlement will be made
 which will determine their distri-
 button as well as that of our debt ! to the United States"

 debt payments to the United States. | Chamberlain also is not budgeting
 for any war debt or reparations | receipts.
 ] Loud cries of Hear, hear" greeted the war debt announce
 ment. Chamberlain paused and toyed with his punce-neZ. He was continually removing them, and glancing at intervals at his notes. Chamberlain praised the eX-
 change equalization fund of 150,- 000,000 pounds which had been set aside to prevent a too-rapid rise of the pound after Britain abandoned

 The 60 cents an ounce proposed by Hatfield would represent q ra- tio between silver and gold of about 33 to l.
 Senator Tydings, dem., Md, who yesterday bolted the administra- : ton imitation bill, changed his course today and prepared an amendment to authorized accept ance Of $400,000,000 in silver at 60 cents an ounce in partial pay ment of war debts.

 Washington, April 25.-(UP)-- French and American technical eX- perts resumed their examination of the Roosevelt plan to-day, working in small groups, each handling one of the main subdivisions-debts. disarmament, security, tariffs, stab ilization and bimetallism.
 It was evident around headquar. tersr of the French mission that MT Roosevelt has won their good will and admiration. M. Herriot spoke in glowing terms of Presi- dent Roosevelts simplicity and charm.
 M. Herriot concluded his report to the French government which was sent to Paris this morning. lauding the Roosevelt program of work for the world ecoonmic con- ference. He informed Paris in de- tail of the main points particularly as regards gold and stabilization. The Paris cabinet has been called to study this report and may cable Herriot fresh instructions if neces- sary although the emissary already is fully qualified and anxious to re- gume his talks with Mir Roosevelt Tomorrow.
 NJ. Heryiot warmly praised the Roosevelt program as a serious ad- vance towards economic recovery.

The chase later led to Waterbury. where the ring leaders were rounded up.

Secretary Hull in Latin America

Secretary Hull will head the United
States delegation at the Pan-American
conference at Montevideo in December
and en- route to Uruguay will tour the
west coast Of South America, paying
good will calls in the countries at whose
ports his ship puts in. He plans to
cross the Southern Continent by rail to
Buenos Aires, proceeding thence to
Montevideo. Homeward bound, he will
visit the east coast of South America.
Following a precedent set by other
Secretaries, of State who have made
official visits to South America, Secre-
tary Hull is well equipped by personality
and temperament to exemplify the
"good-neighbor" policy toward the sister
Americas which the Roosevelt admins
tration has proclaimed. He will typify
and promote it to the extent which con-
ditiops permit when the M0ntevideo
conference is In session.
In a broadcast Monday evening Sec
retary Hull described himself as "one of
those who do not believe that full, stable
and permanent prosperity can be had
by any nation unless q measure of
prosperity Is had by the other nations
of the world" The former Senator from
Tennessee thus once again disavows

creed and espouses in its stead what

The Melchers Exhibition.

Washingtonians who miss seeing the
Carl Melchers memorial exhibition at
the Corcoran Gallery Of Art will deny
themselves one of the richest expert
ences available In the Capital this
season. 1t is, indeed. q noteworthy
show. Nothing comparable with 1t has
occurred in many years.
Melchers probably was the greatest
American painter Of his time. A De-
troit woodcarver's son, educated at
Dusseldorf and Paris, he gave his whole
life to the pursuit of beauty of line and
color, truth and harmony. Dying No.
vember 80. 1882, he left a scattered
heritage Of pictures, more than . hun
dred Of which have now for a few
weeks been brought together for public
display in the city he loved. It is
eminently fitting that he should be
honored in that way.
No analyst of human character ever
has been competent to explain such
genius as Melchers manifested His
vision was SO comprehensive, his field
SO broad, his interests so multitudinous
and his sympathies 80 keen that it Is
plain he must have been among the
most sensitive Of men, and yet his work
has such command, such compulsion
that the beholder cannot but wonder
whence he acquired the strength. HIS
for mankind seem to have endowed
him with power.
Viewing his compositions his coun-
trymen may glimpse the soul Of a
master. The visitor leaves the gallery
with a feeling Of gratitude.

From the Cleveland News.

FIOn tne CleVSlanQ news.
The arms parley recesses until Octo-
Der 26. In the interim it is to be
hoped that q basis of agreement can
be reached with Germany and that
country brought back into the fold.
World opinion Is pretty certain to
back Arthur Henderson, chairman of
the conference. In his decision that the
reasons advanced by Germany do not
justify that nations withdrawal.
Germany, he cites in his answer, has
prejudged the efforts of the parley as
doomed to failure. In addition, it has
blamed the heavily armed nations for
its move Finally, it has put forth the
claim that it cannot attain arms equal
ity under present conditions;
The parley is not doomed to failure
If all nations earnestly cooperate in
disarming. There is bound to be q
great deal Of sympathy for Germany in
declining to be the weak sister of the
assembly, while waiting for France,
England and others to cast aside their
arms. But arms revision downward is
certain to be more effective than any
other sort. Germany, though contend
ing that she wants extra defenSes not
against her neighbors but solely against
Communism, seems to stress national
pride rather than national security.
Ihat arms equality wherein the other
nations will disarm to Germany's level,
can actually be reached in the eight
year trial period is dependent, OF course,
on the sincerity of the nations making
the pledge. But in view of almost con-
tinuouS efforts to secure peace pacts
and agreements to curb armaments, it
seems the part of reason to take that
sincerity for granted.
Chancellor Hitler deserves commen-
dation for the conciliatory tone of his
message to the world. AS on another
memorable occasion. he has surprised
his hearers by his lack of warlike spirit.
II he means what he says, he should
be prevailed upon to lead his nation
back to the council table with the in
tention Of cooperating in the greatest
move toward the elimination of the
causes of war the world has witnessed
In generations.
