Russian Gain Seen
at Economic Parley.


Impartial, Montevideo-By strange
trick Of circumstance, about the only
country to obtain any definite and
practical benefit from the World Eco
nomic Conference in London was the
country least expected to derive any
advantages. That country was Rus
sia. whose commissioner of foreign re-
lations showed a patience and sagacity
upon this occasion which far surpassed
in achievement all the labored recripro-
cations and ambiguous agreements of
representatives from other nations.
The commissioner in question. Senor
Maximo Litvinoff, displayed himself a
master of political diplomacy, and only
too well qualified to execute with unc-
ton the concepts of his difficult and
delicate mission. Senior Litvinof had
little to say for publication, but con-
stantly improved the presence of the
galaxy Of experts and foreign delegates
in London to conclude with them, and
through them with their ministries,
pacts for enduring peace, terms for
trading treaties and cooperation in
worldwide monetary stabilization.
To accomplish these successes he en-
ployed but three weeks, overcoming at
once by his engaging candor and dis
arming affability the antipathies of the
British, not yet entirely resigned to the
judgments recorded in Russia against
two of their countrymen, construction
engineers, accused of sabotage. Senor
L;tvinof had first to overcome the re-
sentiment on this score before he could
proceed to matters more momentous to
his country and himself. It is UNDER
stood that he offered to Sir John Simon
the liberation of the Englishmen yet
detained by the Russian Government
for the removal of the British trade
embargo, and the ratification Of a new
commercial treaty between the two
nations.
It is obvious from the sequel that
Senior Litvinoff disposed of a question
consummately difficult in an exceeding
ly brief space of time and, incidentally.

contemporary Russian program highly

ancient one. But there is a more
formidable problem confronting us

Gambling is assuming forms and d.

peril. against which every civilized
state has been compelled to safeguard
itself in one way or another. The mod

commentary. by the way. on the specu-
the problem altogether by questioning
whether there is anything technically
wrong in gambling
The problem today Is the emergence
OF gambling as trade and profession,
and the systematic exploitation of a
human weakness by a professional class

Corporations Formed in W.

Virginia and Maryland private indi.

during the recent storm may have an
opportunity to repair that damage with
public works funds loaned to non
profit corporations, Public Works Ad-
ministrator Ickes said yesterday.
Mr. Ickes said that, In view Of the
fact the public works funds cannot be
loaned to individuals, it had been de-
cided to allow corporations formed for
the purpose, and under regulation, to
apply for loans from public works
funds to repair private property dam

He said that as yet no application
had been received from Ocean City,
Md, for loan to repair storm dam
age at that resort. Pointing out ma
ture had provided. in part. the facili-
ties Of an ocean inlet previously asked
by Ocean City, he emphasized that
the necessary construction to main

Just what the attitude Of the Public

INCREASE IN DISTRICT
PLUMBING STAFF ASKED
Inspector McGonegal's Annual Re
port Cites Inadequacy to Meet
inspection Demands.

A plea for an increase in the staff
OF the plumbing division Of the Dis
trict government. in order to meet more
adequately demands for inspection
service, was made by A. r. McGonegal,
inspector of plumbing in his annual
report submitted yesterday to the Dis
trict Commissioners
He said the number of inspections
by the division during the past fiscal
year was practically the same as in
previous. years. in spite Of the decline
in new building operations. He said
the amount of remodeling work was
serving to maintain the volume of work
for his division. He said also the new
license law had added additional in
spection duties.
Due to the economy program. the
plumbing division at the close of the
year lost the services of three en-
ployes. so that field inspectors now are
required to handle work in the COM
plant division in addition to their
regular duties.
1T is anticipated that much delay
will result and that there will be COM

ice" he said. "AS now constituted. the

per cent. compared with that of the
present models. he says. and the
chassis is mounted on three wheels
instead of the conventional four.
The cars are bullet shaped and
come to a point in the rear. They
are built to seat four people. The
single wheel, at the rear, is used
for steering. The front wheels drive

Everett Theatre, Middletpwn

The Everett Theatre, Middle
town, under its new management,
E. r. Bourgeois, manager, is cele-
brating dts first anniversary. Mr.
Burgeois, who is always anxious
to get the best for his theatre, is
presenting two outstanding pro
ductions by reason of this ami
versary week, October 16 to 21.
The first is Paddy, the Next Best
Thing" the film that brings to-
gether Janet Gaynor and Warner
Baxter in one of the best pictures
of the year. The story centers
around the romances Of these two
persons. At first those romances
are separate Miss Gaynor's for
another man, and Baxter's for an
other girl. But the development
of the plot finally does send them
to each other and makes them ad-
nit their mutual love, even
against their will. The characters
that they portray represent two
different worlds-one the quaint
intimacy of village on the Irish
seacoast, and the other the cos
mopolitan life of a much-travelled
sportsman. It is this element of
difference that is reported as the
means for giving this film some of
its most distinctive qualities. Wal
ter Connolly, highly reputed play
er of the dramatic stage, has a
featured role in support of Janet
Gaynor and Warner Baxter. 9th
ers in the cast include Harvey
Stephens, Margaret Lindsay, Mary
McCormic, Joseph M Kerrigan.

and Trevor Bland Paddy, The
