RECIPROCAL TRADE
!. PACTS ASKED HERE
Five Countries Approach
State Department for Dr.
rect Agreements.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

As result of the failure of the Con-
ference on Reciprocal Trade Agree
ments at Geneva last week. foreign
diplomats have called at the State d.
partment sounding the position of this
country in regard to agreements with
individual countries to be negotiated
here.
Last Thursday the Ambassadors from
Italy and Argentina and the charge
daffaires from Holland, Bolivia and
Honduras discussed this question with
Acting Secretary of State William
Phillips
The administration was believed
abroad to be favoring reciprocity agree
ments, and the American delegation at
the London Economic Conference had
been instructed by the President to
take up the matter as soon as the pre-
liminary stages of the conference were
over.
U. S. Is Cautious.
Since nothing happened at Geneva,
however, the representatives in Wash
ington of the above mentioned coun-
tries took up the matter directly with
the State Department.
According to reliable reports the act
ing Secretary of State showed himself
even more cautious than usual. He in
formed the diplomats that the United
States must study carefully the question
OF any possible individual agreement
The original idea was that these reci-
proclty agreements should be concluded
Hemisphere. The basic principles on
which the negotiations will be con-
Quoted in Washington is that America
is willing to discuss only with those
countries whose commodities do not
conflict with those produced in the
United States:
Economic Phases Studied.
Thus it is likely that conversations
will begin soon with Brazil in regard to
coffee, with Cuba in regard to sugar
and with Mexico in regard to sisal.
The economic advisers of the State
Department will report on what basis
reciprocal agreements could be made
with these countries which will be per-
mitted to export into the United States
certain quantities of these raw materials
to be exchanged for American manu-
factured products.
The Bolivian charge d'affaires pleaded
with the acting Secretary of State for
an agreement which would permit the
Bolivians to export tin into this coun-
try. For the time being Bolivian tin is
imported into the United States through
London. Bolivia would like to nego-
tiate treaty with this country whereby
tin will be exported directly here with
out the English middlemen making a
profit. Acting Secretary Phillips prom
ised to have this question duly studied
by the Governments experts before
entering into direct negotiations with
the Bolivian government.

German Press Chief Says

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July "a fight to the fin
ish against the Austrian government
of Chancellor Dollfuss was proclaimed
today by Otto Dietrich, German press
chief, who declared: Agreement with
the present Austrian government is i'm
possible so long as suppression exists. y
Every effort to effect truce with
Austria is a stab in the back Of the
Austrian Naz:s," he said at a press re-
ception for Theodore Habicht Austrian
Nad leader. in referring to the recent
action of the Dollfuss government out
lawing Nazis in Austria.
Habicht called Chancellor Dollfuss a
"separatist," and predicted failure for
his fight against the Hitlerites.
1T is impossible to incorporate Aus
tria into the Reich today" he said
However, when an inner accord be-
tween the nations is reached a formal

Germany, a series of bombings in Aus

tory arrest in Berlin of the Austrian
press attache, DR.. Erwin Wasserbaeck
are ingredients of the feeling between
the Berlin and Vienna governments.
The clash with Austria, ostensibly
over the treatment of his followers in
Austria, marks Chancellor Hitler's first
independent sally into the foreign po-
litical field.
Dietrich denounced a section Of the
German press for a conciliatory attitude
toward Austria 1t was recalled that
the Industrialist Allgemeine Zeitung
was banned for three months for criti-

These are the good prisoners" They

Barnard Remains Idealist.
A tired, benevolent gentleman-sub-
mitting with good grace to the ques-
tioning of reporters who want to know
if it is true that he is tyrant.
If he is, he must be rated as the
most accomplished actor this world
has known. He voices only kindness.
The practical working out OF the
scheme for this unique, wall-less prison
where a breaker of the law Is looked
hun hninU
to retain in some measure his human
dignity, has been largely his job. For
most Of his life he has dealt with
criminals of one sort or another. But
he has not become cynical nor sadlstlc:
Capt. M. M. Barnard has remained
an idealist Probably he has not re-
tanned much faith in human nature.
He has seen it at its worst. He knows
that many men, in jail and out, are
liars and self-seekerS. But he has only
pity for human frailties rather than
hatred Of the striving humanity which
is so subject to those frailties.
Won't Punish Rebels.
He emphasizes that he neither per.
mits nor condones physical punlsnment
of wrongdoers. Even those sullen repeis M
who have threatened to wreck the
dream upon which he has expended the
best part of his life energies will not
be punished-only placed in solitary"
or reduced rations until they see the
light. Then they will be restored to
their work and the past forgotten.
They will not even be deprived OF any
time off" they may have won by good
behavior in the past.
Capt. Barnard deals with men OBJ
jectively and dispassionately. He ap-
pears to have no emotional attitude
toward his charges other than one OF
benevolence. But his feelings are hurt
by charges of cruelty.
He leads an inspection tour Of build

a way. He was one of them. He re-
cruited his sour -visaged, praying Iron
sides from such men as these. They
could not be disciplined. They were
perhaps the finest regiment of fighting
men the world has known.
To such men the same degree of en-
forced discipline may be thousand
times greater punishment than to an
other man given the same sentence for
the same crime. That, perhaps, is the
reason why they rebel and why they
would rebel under any prison conditions
whatsoever. And solitary confinement,
away from the routine and chatter of
their fellows, may be far lighter pun
ishment for them than it would be for
the others. 1t might, in fact, be no
punishment at all.
Extraordinary Tolerance.
Probably no prison executive on earth
understands them. The men with the
kind of personality to understand them
would not become a prison executive,
except under very extraordinary cir
cumstances.
1t is fair to say that Capt. Barnard
personality trend is in the other direc-
ton. And perhaps the finest tribute
that could be paid to the man is that
he is not going to punish them for be-
havior which he does not understand
that he has developed none of the hate
toward them which most men feel for
that which Is alien to their own out
looks
They are not his kind of people. But
he is tolerant enough to treat TEN as
if they were-and that Is an e.,traor-
binary tolerance.
It was at first reported that the whole
outbreak resulted from some bad cook
ing on a hot day. Capt. Barnard has
uncovered evidence that the trouble has
been brewing for month. The cook
ing, of course, may have been just
convenient pretext.

No Question of Bolts and Bars.
The "wall-less prison" promises to
emerge from this unfortunate episode
more firmly established than ever.
It is not, and never was claimed to
be, the perfect solution OF the prison
question. That can come only when
it is possible to fit punishment both tc
the crime and the criminal. Very
before then, for the more complex So,
ciety- becomes the closer it drifts to-
ward wreck on the rock of this same
paradox that one finds in the Lorton
situation.
But it is not a question of bolts and
bars. The doctors in charge of Howard
Hall, at St. Elizabeth's understand it
little better than the officials at
Lorton. But even to them it is deep.
dark and largely inpenetrable mystery
It is fundamentally question of the
sensitivity of the nervous system and
the direction of the energy released by
the stimulation of this sensitivity
There will always be rebellion in any
institution as long as men are born
whose natural tendency is toward re-
bellion.
The trouble is not with Lorton and
not with Capt. Barnard. It Is due to
fundamental quality of mans nature,

false They're bad. They're the sort
that would stick a knife into your back
without thinking about it a second
time"
But haven't you got some of the best
workers in the prison there?"
Sure We have. But that's not the
point. A mans not here to be a good
worker. We don't care about that. He's
here to conform to discipline and that's
just what they won't do"
Guards Seem to Be Kind.
The guards appear to be kind to
ttese men. They do little favors for
them, such as sending out for tobacco
to ease their jaded nerves. They pro-
test that some of them do not belong
with the bad actors" and wonder how
they got there.
1t is hard to imagine one of these
guards beating up anybody. They are
not nodded in the pattern of prison
guards. but seem more like Virginia
farmers. 1t is not hard to imagine
that any man in that room would knife
guard in the back if he got chance
and it was to his advantage to do so.
The guards are kindly enough. but
not from any fellow feeling with the
prisoners they are set to watch. They
are kindly because that is The policy Of
the institution aud also, probably, be-
cause it is their mature to be kindly
men. But they are not of the human
species as these men and have very little
understanding of them.
Nobody, it is likely, understands a
single one of these rebel prisoners, ex-
cept himself. Not even his fellow rebels
understand him. That is one of the
main reasons why the man is in Lorton.
He always has been butting his head
against a society which did not under
stand him and never will.

Head of the guests attentions TO the
children. Keep them at a distance.
The children will gradually feel more
at ease, and when they learn that no.
body will make them too prominent,
they will get along better.
Another way TO help the shy child
meet guests is to allow him to help re-
ceive them and wait on them. Take
him to the door with you. Let him take
the lady'S belongings, If she Is carrying
anything beyond her purse. Let him
stand by her chair. behind it If he likes.
Let him carry in tray and pass some
thing to the guests. If he has some
thing in his hand when he enters the
room, if he has some definite duty to
perform. such as raising the shades,
drawing out table. bringing in tray
with glass of water, laying book on
side table. setting a candle in its
holder, he will be less self-conscious
and lose his fear.
Fear comes to the uncertain child.
The moment he is in doubt as to who
or what or when. fear begins to work.
OF course, the stronger the hold his
fear has upon him, the shyer he Is. BY
and by his feet are so heavy that he
can't lift them, his ears hum so that
he can't hear, his tongue sticks to the
roof of his mouth, swollen and dry. He
is in no condition to be in the room.
The sooner he gets out, the better for
everybody.
Remove the uncertainty. Teach him
exactly what he is to do, give him the
very words he is to use, show him the
spot in which he is to sit, go over the
whole situation with him, and he will
do better. Not in one day. But after
many days of careful. affectionate and
understanding training. And remember
that a shy child usually needs more
nourishing food than he Is getting,
more and sounder sleep, more and hap
pier play. And always more love. Love
casteth out fear.
