By GEORGE R. HOLMES

GEOLOGICAL MUSEUM.
LONDON, June 26 I.N.S.),
Solid backing of President
Roosevelt's domestic recovery
program by the American
delegation to the World Eco,
nomic Conference was re-
vealed by Senator James
Couzens of Michigan this
afternoon.
Addressing the monetary sub
commission. the only Republican
member of the delegation out
lined his resolution regarding
price levels, credit policies. exter-
nal debt structures and synchro-
nized governmental works, stress
ing the unanimity of opinion be-
tween the Washington Admins
tration and the delegation here.
He said:
81 do not believe that prices
can be raised by monetary
means alone.
ONLY PART OF PLAN
Raising the price level is only
part of the problem of restOr-
ing economic equilibrium.
"There is necessity for a re-
adjustment in the debt Struc-
ture. 1 agree with much that
Chancellor of the Exchequer
Chamberlain has said about the
deSirability of restoring prices,
but / do not believe that prices
could or should be raised suf-
ficiently to bring about that
equilibrium with the structure
Of indebtedness now existing.
"PriceS must be raised, but
the burden of debt must be
ightened.
1--WE must attack both prob
lens simultaneously to achieve
success. This is in no sense to
be construed as an invitation to
debtors to scale down their OBJ
legations; certainly it is not an
invitation to default.
ORGANIZATION NEEDED

through Harrow and Oxford, but It
was natural In his case that he should
have felt that the rigidity Of his train
ing was hindrance to his growth. He
said that he never learned anything
he could Use in his work until he had
managed to forget all that he had been
taught in the schools. It was natural,
too. that he should abandon the prac-
tice Of law the moment he had been
approved to pursue 1t. The whole
tendency Of his career was toward an
untrammeled perception Of the world
and its people. toward freedom for the
reception Of untainted Impressions OF
human society. Hes aimed to be q
faithful historian Of mankind, and to
achieve that purpose it was necessary
that he should not be burdened by
fixed ideas, harsh dogmas, acquired
from the past. He consciously strove
to create In his brain a perfect mirror,
untarnished, unshadowed, for the hu-
man scene and his books prove his sue
cess. He was an observer and an in
terpreter, not preacher. The only
lesson he presumed to teach was that
Of pity.
His creative period ran through ap-
proximately thirty-five years. It began
with the novel "Jocelyn." published in
1898 under a pseudonym; it closed with
his death today. Fifty volumes, more
or less. are current among readers who

Galsworthy reaped a glorious harvest
from his effort. He earned royalties
beyond his personal needs, he declined
knighthood, he had the Order of
Merit and the Nobel Prize. Half .
dozen universities honored themselves
in persuading him to accept compli-
mentary degrees. Now he proceeds to
whatever rewards there may be for q
good workman and a generous soul be-
yond the curtains of the infinite. As
he departs thousands pay him the
homage Of their gratitude, proud and
happy that he lived. He made a per-

fruits of his labor, the victories OF his

found Gordon murdered by the Mahdi's
troops. He had walked calmly out to

port of his death caused an unexampled
sensation in England and America. A
long controversy in which Queen
Victoria personally took part, ragged
around Gladstone's responsibility.
He had his faults. Of course, but he
was one of the very noblest characters
of the Victorian period; and England
would have been sadly remiss to have
overlooked the present occasion to do
his memory honor. In the United

This is an old theory, and An inter-

In the cases under discussion 1t may

Perhaps these people who somehow

Maybe the very sight of nose (than
