NEW YORK, December 81 CP.-Dr.

Columbia University, expressed a hope
that through consultation and through
the distnterested cooperation of all ma
tionS" some agreement may be reached
which wih solve the Far Eastern prob

AS president of the Carnegie Endow-
aent for International Peace, DR.. But
Ter has written preface to the Janu-
ary issue of the international Concili-
alton" document published by the En-
dowment. and in it says:
The pact of Paris is the only docu-
ment in existence to which practically
all nations Of the world have subscribed.
The problem now confronting the
Leagus of Nations is therefore in no
sense regional one.
THE covenant OF the League and the
nine-power treaty are REINFORCED by
the pact Of Paris which calls for no
sanction other than that OF public opia-
ion. II seems not too much to hope
that through consultation and mutual
concessions on the part Of those imme-
diately concerned, and through the dis

some agreement may be reached which
viii permit the settlement Of this (the

of an address delivered by Senator Clar-
ence Dill of Washington in the National
Radio Forum at 1890 pm. The Ma
tional Forum is arranged by The Wash

ing Co.
Senator Dill is one of the prominent
figures in the progressive wing Of the
Democratic party. From the outset
Of the campaign to nominate Franklin
D. Roosevelt for President, Senator Dill
was staunch Roosevelt man, being
convinced that the New York Governor
was Q progressive at heart. During the
convention campaign and during
the national campaign, Senator Dill
played his part to bring about Roose-
welt victory. What progressive Demo-
crat regards as an essential program
will be touched upon by the Washing
ton Senator in his address Monday
night.
Prior to his election to the Senate in
1922 Senator Dill had served couple
of terms in the House. He was re-
elected to the Senate in 1923 by sub

HURLEY DENIAL HIT
IN TROOP TRANSFER
ConnaIIy Insists Secretary
Expressed Fears of Red
Outbreaks.
BY the Associated Press.

An assertion that Secretary Hurley
explained the transfer Of troops from
the Texas border to Kentucky as neces-
sary to protect populous centers from
possible Red" outbreaks was repeated
by Senator Connally, Democrat, Texas
yesterday in the face of denial from
the War Department head.
Hurley's denial, issued in a statement
Friday night, said he had never told
the Texan that this country or any
part Of it was in any danger from
Communism or Bolshevism." but that
he thought it was suffering from pork
barrel politicians"
In statement to the press yester-
day, Connally replied that Mr.. Hurley
knows that correctly quoted him."
Those who were present also know
what he said" the Texan added. "Ot
course, he will deny it, Newspapermen
and the public understand such de-
malls"
AS for the pork barrel" retort, Con-
nally said the Secretary is a. expert
on pork"
High Army officers" he added
were on the point of moving the Army
School of Fire from Fort Sill, Okla, to
point elsewhere. Mr.. Hurley is from
Oklahoma. His inordinate appetite for
pork prompted him sas Secretary of
War to use the tremendous power of his
Office to stop the removal and keep the
troops in his beloved Oklahoma. He
knows that to be true, although he may
possibly make another denial.
For pork barrel purposes Secretary
Hurley is willing to keep troops in Okla
homa where their presence is not
needed for defense purposes. In order
to keep troops in Oklahoma and satisfy
the military autocrats who control him
he is willing to leave the people of
Texas undefended from border raids
and open to danger of loss Of life and
obstruction of property"
The War Department order, effective
today, will move the 1st Cavalry COM
pany of about 500 men from Fort D. A.
Russell at Maria, Tex, to Camp Knox,
near Louisville, KY. where 1t Is 10 be
motorized.
Connally first protested the removal
in the Senate Friday and was joined by
Senator Hayden, Democrat, Arizona,
who objected on the same grounds 70
the removal of troops from camps
Stephen T. Little, at Nogales, and
Harry J. Jones, at Douglas, both IN
Arizona, to other points in that State
further away from the Mexican border.
Both claimed the moves left strategic
points on the border unprotected and
involved false economy"

SEARCH FOR VIRGINIA
YOUTHS IS FUTILE
Two on Canoe Trip Missing Since
Wednesday-Badly Battered
Craft Discovered.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PETERSBURG, Va, December 3l.-
One rescue party returned tonight to
report that 1t had found no trace Of
two Petersburg youths who have been
missing since Wednesday ON a canoe
trip down the Appomattox River.
The two youths, George Harrison,
ir.. l8, and Holmes BoiSseau. IT., 10.
were last seen Wednesday afternoon as
they padded their canoe down the
river.
Near Jones Lake where the boys had
planned to camp that night, the canoe
was found by members Of the search
ing parties. The small craft had been
badly battered on the rocks and broke
when an effort was made to remove 1t
from the water.
Discovery Of the battered canoe con-
vinced the searchers the youths had
been thrown into the river Watermen,
holding out slim hope for their safety,
said there was a bare possibility they
had been marooned on high rock in
the river.
The hunt almost cost the lives Of
three members Of the searching party
who were thrown into the water last
night when their boat overturned. The
three youths-Carter Myers, ir.: Thorn
as Cooper and Clarence A. Thompson,
jr-spent IL hours clinging to tree
limb in the rushing river. They were
found at farm house this morning.
Their escape lent new hope that
Boisseau and Harrison might still be
alive, but failure TO locate them dis
couraged many members OF the search
ing parties.

one dollar. How much effect would
such an increase have upon their CON
sumptive power2" What effect would
the increase produce upon their internal
price-debt situation?
Changes Make Exchange Rates Potent.
When the country's money unit" Is
rising in terms of the money units" of
the outside world, there is a temporary
stimulus to imports of commodities and
services, and a temporary check to ex-
ports. but when the relation of the re-
spective units stabilizes, stimulus and
check cease to operate. Trade then
tends to settle back to a normal ex-
change of goods and services against
goods and services, whatever may be
the rate at which the exchange stabil-
ICES. 1t Is changes in exchange rates
and not the rates themselves which
affect trade. A rise in silver to 40 cents
would at once cause fall in internal
prices of the commodities which China
and. India export to the outside world
where the world price is measured in
gold. The effect upon all debtors would
be precisely that which the rest of the
world is bewailing. Manufacturing prof
its would swiftly disappear, unemploy-
ment assert itself and all the phenom-
ena with which we are sadly familiar
would present themselves in SO. far as
the circumstances permitted. In what
would the agricultural population OF
these countries benefit beyond the in
crease in the value Of the "hoards" that
they might possess?
We are told that all the mined gold
in the world, visible and invisible. could
be put in a room 31x31x3l feet, and
that all the silver mined in the world
could be put in room 31x3lx440 feet
Well, in the name of William Graham
Sumner-'What of it?" We are told
that silver at 10 cents an ounce would
increase the 81 billions estimated in
come Of the American people in 1892 to
IS billions in 1884" How in the name
of Trismegistus could this happen?
Where are the 20 billions to come from? +?
How did this March hare get In among
the seasons white rabbits2"
Like Talking Religion.
There Is something about silver that
invests all talk about it with that Curl
Gus tendency toward intense feeling
that characteriZes discussions in relig-
ion, party politics and single tax. Most
people seem to believe that there Is a
mysterious link between the price OF
silver ana COMMODITY prices in general
and that to put up the price Of silver
is to put up all commodity prices. Not
few, it seems, believe that it Is the
fall in silver that has pulled all prices
down. Whence the atmosphere of sup
erstition that surrounds the white
metal?
1t is this writer's humble opinion that
1t would be good thing If silver could
again be "monetized" in some way, If
only to dissipate the curious hopes and
fears that prevail concerning its des-
tiny. But he fervently hopes that pend
ing such 'monetization" wholly or IN
part, no nation-least of all our own
will attempt any preliminary "valoriza-
ton" la Bland act of 1879 or Sher-
man act OF 1890. That, II seems TO him,
Is what our silver Senators" are really
after.
