BETTER j. S. POLICY.
Cooperation With League
More Useful Than Is Par
ticipation, He Says.

SOUTHAMPTON, England, April IL
Sir Austen Chamberlain notes "a
remarkable and satisfactory evolution
tn American policy"
seWashington now participates in
conferences summoned by the League
Of Nations and held under its aus
p;ces," he said at League Of Nations
Union meeting here.
I'm the present state Of the evolu-
tion Of the American Constitution, I
believe that American cooperation
from outside Is even more effective and
useful than would be the presence OF
an American representative sitting at
the council table"
The one-time foreign affairs secretary
failed to find support for charges that
the League has failed to prevent war IN
the Far East.
If the same Indications had hap
pened 80 years ago, he pointed out,
there would have been scramble OF
all other interested powers to see that
If one obtained an advantage all others
could take something for themselves
ct the same time.
There has been no attempt on Chi
nese integrity or territory by any pow
er," he said. "The quarrel has been
limited to the original disputants. The
last page of this story has not yet been
written and it is too soon to say that
the League of Nations has been in
eficacious.
''The mere fact that there has been
no scramble among the other powers
shows that the League Is already ex-
ercising great influence and shows that
something Of a new morality has en-
tered into international relations"
Sir Austen stated it was his profound
conviction that If the young League
was not asked to undertake too big q
task, 1t would grow steadily and become
Q factor of the first importance for
e~ery statesman of every nation.

and to include dairy products In the
pending Federal farm relief bill.
The conferees sent the following
telegram to the President:
"At o conference held here Of the
Governors Of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Indiana, Iowa and Illinois for the pur-
pose Of discussing the serious milk
problem, 1t was unanimously determined
that we urge upon you the same con-
sideration Of dairy products given other
basic agriculture commodities"
"The problem Is Of such importance
that dairy products should be included
in the Federal farm relief bin and
should be among the commodities for
early administrative action"
I'VE also urge that the interest rate
fixed on farm mortgages be consistent
with the farmers ability to pay"

SCRIP BEING ISSUED TODAY
 IN N Y. CITY
Will Be Accepted as Read fly as Old Currency
 Plans Move Along

NEW YORK, March 6.-Clearing House scrip is being prepared by the New York Clearing House As- sociation. It consists of paper cer- tificates based on bank deposits. The certificates are to be issued by a group of banks rather than by one institution. The new med- ium of exchange will be paid out by banks in lieu of the old ex- change.
 Depositors appearing at banks to cash checks will be given the cer- tificates for the full amount. They will also be used as the money with which pay checks will be cashed and will be accepted by merchants, landlords, railroads and others instead of the old currency.
 Accepted for Deposit
 Bankers said the scrip will be accepted for deposit at parity by 'all Clearing House members and serve as a satisfactory medium of exchange. The certificates are to be in denominations ranging from $1 up.
 Seattle scrip is from $1 to $20.
 Coin in Chicago
 In Chicago one of the most pressing problems out of the bank moratorium was solved when the need of small change was met by the opening of the currency ex- change in the fiancial district. The Federal Reserve bank had 40 tel ters and about s1 100000 in coins and small bills to supply change for the needs of the city's busi- ness men. There was no charge for this service.

May Appear in Person Be fore Extra Session of
 Congress Thursday

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Pres- ident Roosevelt, it was announced today, may go before the new Con- gress with program he has draft ed after weeks of constant study for curing the country's ills.
 Whether he will depend on his telling oratory to drive home to the legislators his ideas instead of the drone of the reading clerks is not definitely determined. It is indi- cated he might appear personally before Congress.
 To Meet Emergency
 The President said today as he did Sunday afternoon: T am preparing a program directed to meet the monetary emergency. It is essential that the first business before Congress will be the present banking financial situation"
 The President further said he hopes the climb upward from the financial troubles will begin with in few days after Congress meets.
 If legislation is not damned through two days after Congress meets, an extension of the banking holiday will be taken.

BUSINESS HERE
 NORMAL DESPITE BANKS HOLIDAY
Presidential Pro clamation Mandatory and Local
 Banks Are Closed

Business In Juneau today was proceeding normally without regard for the temporary holiday observed by both local banks, effective today and running until Thursday night, in accord with the proclamation issued Sunday night by President Roosevelt. Its provisions are man. datory.
 Previous to the Presidential order, Gov. George A. Parks, after several hours conference with members of the Alaska Legislature Saturday, and with local bankers, had issued a proclamation declaring Terri torial banking holiday, optional with the individual banks, for a period of three days, beginning this morning.
 It Is Superseded
 The Governors proclamation, however. is superseded by the one issued by President Roosevelt. And in compliance with the order both B. M. Behrends Bank and the First National Bank posted notices on their doors that all business would be suspended until next Friday morning.
 In the meantime, the Alaska Legislature moved to enact law which would empower the Terri torial Banking Board to take action to protect the Territorial banks from any adverse affects that might result from banking holidays and restricted withdrawals in the States. The Territorial system, it was pointed out, is so intimately connected with that of the Pacific Coast States that any interruption to or Reorganization of the banks there inevitably was reflected on the banking institutions here.
 Bill Is Introduced
 To safeguard local interests eff fectively, therefore, a measure was prepared by Attorney General James s. Truitt and was introduced in both branches this afternoon, by Senator L. c. Hess, Fairbanks banker, in the Senate and Repre-

WASHINGTON, March 6. A precedent shattering move was made by President Roosevelt last Saturday night when he brought his Cabinet into full command of the Government just a few hours after he had taken the oath as Chief Executive.
 With a bold stroke, the new Executive sent his Cabinet nomin- ations to the Senate during Satur- day afternoon where they were confirmed at once despite some discussion of the private stock holdings of William H. Woodin, and references to Harold L. Ickes former affiliations with the Repub- ican Party.
 Slight Objections
 Senator Couzens, of Michigan, challenged Woodin on account of his reported holdings in car foun- dry institutions but was assured Woodin had divested himself of all holdings required by law.
 Ickes, Secretary of Interior, was merely mentioned for his former Republican affiliations, then the entire group was confirmed with out audible negative.
 The Cabinet members were im- mediately sworn in by Supreme Court Associated Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo.
