Roosevelt Makes Uncom- promising Statement
 on Stabilization
CONFERENCE IS IN
 STATE OF CONFUSION
Sensation Is Created by Positive Attitude of Am-
 erica on Currency

LONDON, July 3. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, of the Unit ed States, exploded bombshell in the World Economic Conference with 8 strong uncompromising statement, not only rejecting the French and other gold country overtures for a temporary currency stabilization most emphatically, but sharply criticising what he describ- ed as an attempt to divert the conference from broad objectives.
 The Presidents blunt statement explained Americas situation.
 The bombshell burst with such force that it threatened to wreck the assemblag on the rocks of gold.
 Is Sensation
 This sensation is interpreted as the death knell of efforts of the gold countries to obtain American support in their monetary position with threat of withdrawing from the barley.
 In sentences direct, the express sion was plainly aimed at the French.
 The American President decried the use of stabilization demands as an excuse for continuance of the basic economic errors underlying depression"
 Hard Swat
 The President pointedly observed that when a majority of the na- tions balance their budget and live within means, it will be time enough to talk of monetary reform.
 Experts expressed the opinion that President Roosevelt had in mind Frances unbalanced budget and huge expenditures for military and naval purposes as well as the uncollected domestic taxes when he made his statement.
 Silver advocates noted that Presl- dent Roosevelt said gold or gold and silver" can serve as a currency reserve and this is seen as di- rect reply to insistence of France and her allies on a rigid gold standard to which they are striv- ing to cling.
 In Confusion
 The fate of the conference on the gold standard position of France, Belgium, Holland and Switz- erland is wrapped in utmost con- fusion as the Presidents fortnight pronouncement became the talk of London.
 While the French reaction is awaited, the French and The Meth erlands financial experts were call- ed upon by the gold countries to keep cool as the gold bloc dele gations, staggered by Roosevelt's forceful statement, appeared un- certain as to what action they will take in response.
 Gold Bloc Meets
 The gold bloc delegations have met and have drawn up state ment regarding their position but awaited the return of Guido Jung, Italian Minister, from Ireland. be- fore making the statement public.
 Meanwhile the gold bloc is trying to get England to signed state ment but thus far the British have shown unwillingness to do SO.

LIVING THROUGH HISTORY.

Reading the accounts of men and women who celebrate their centenary birthdays one cannot fal to be stirred by the enormous scope of their mem ores It is almost inconceivable that men who were born when Andrew Jackson President of the United States should still be livine to witness the inauguration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
 They have seen the Nation rise from precarious infancy a mere frontier facing virgin continent so little known that in even later years were to proclaim it desert, wilderness, and unfit for human habitation, to the rank of world power They have seen the forest-runners, oxcarts, man. powered flatboats and other primitive modes Of communication and transportation supplanted by canals railways motor cars and airplanes. They have seen household industry replaced by mass pro- duction, primitive handicraft by technology. The very nature of life itself is utterly changed.
 Distant as our national growth in the 1830s and 1S4Os appears to most of us, it is separated only by one long lifetime. There are not many, to be sure but some there whose extraordinary privilege it has been to unfolding across time, the magnificent development of a great people, and to be of that people.
 However much we may envy these long-lived men and women the unique privilege they have had, a moments reflection compels us to envy even more the youngsters of today, who are going to live through the next 50 years Confident that the march of progress will go on, despite vicissi- tudes it must be admitted that this generation has no ground for complaint
 Life is surely richer, varied, more fascinat- ing in it's tempo and it's rhythm of change than even that of the last half century. The difficulties and hazards of the present moment dwinde into trifles in comparison with the intensely interesting pat terms of life that lie ahead.

 The attitude of the Hoover Conference on the Crisis in Education will cheer those fighting to save the American school system from unwise economy raids.
 The original agendum disquieting It sug- gesed the possibility of drastic cuts in teacher sal- aries, school hours, night classes and other pro- grams President Hoover, Secretary of the Interior Wilbur, Dr. Cooper, United States Commissioner of Education, and others stood against such easy but dangerous budgeting solutions Minor economies be made in the interest of greater efficiency without injuring the schools
 The conference adopted resolution in support of some measure like the George bill to grant Fed eral aid States maintain reasonable standards in their public school systems" | This action is more in the American spirit than the defeatism of of the counties and States that letting their schools take the first brunt | of the depression.

NEW UTILITIES POLICY.

Exit N. E. L. A, the National Electric Light Association, which for many years has been the association of the electric power utilities and popu larly labeled the power trust It is to be replaced by the Edison Electric Institute which, it is claimed will have new code of ethics. It will seek to avoid the mistakes of the older body which has been severely criticised during the past decade for such things as conducting propaganda through text books in the country's public schools and colleges and through college professors Due to these methods of influencing and moulding opinion, Congressional Investigating committee once labeled it a public enemy Under the circumstances, N. E. L. A. had outlived its usefulness both to the public and the utility companies
 of 85 per cent. of the electric utility concerns of the country. It is announced it will operate an ordinary trade association, being clearing house for it's members to whom it will make available factua data concerning the industry, fostering re- search in electric power production and use and conducting a propaganda through ethical means to stimulate the progress of the industry.
 The new organization unquestionably has special problem unlike that of any other trade association It is made up of non-competing concerns whose business is much public it is private, although many electric power companies refuse to recognize the publics share in shaping their policies By indicating its purpose of cooperating fully witr State and Federal regulatory bodies the Edisor Electric Institute gives promise of completing much-needed reform in the publicity and account ing methods of power companies. It is to be hoped the performance will equal the promise

IRRECONCILABLEs WIN IN IRELAND.

Irish irreccncilables, determined to break abso- lutey with Great Britain trumphed in the election just held in the Free State, returning Eamonn de Valera to the Presidency and giving him majority sufficient to permit absolute control of the Dai or Irish Parliament. The campaign repetition of others of recent years notable for the display by de Valera's followers of antipathy to England. William T. Cosgrave, leader of the Conservatives who had just begun effort to unite all con- seryative factions when the Labor Partys rebellion in the Dali forced the calling of election, had not gone far enough with his negotiations to present united front to the irreconcables and his defeat was generally foregone conclusion.
 There was than absurd tinge to the campaign Important economic issues were neglected while both sides gave their whole attention to the idle question of absolute independence or co-opera- ton with Great Britain. No nation is absolutely independent in this age The Free State already has larger degree of freedom than many countries

 She turned in her chair.
 What did you do with the mil with Farrell Armitage?" she fi- nally asked. The words came to Barbara dismay that they caused her no dismay that they caused CT no embarrassment whatever. Vaguely she guessed that Judy, at least, would never again really matter. Oh, if she only had someone to hold onto. Someone strong.

 Her untidy bulk and her loud voice held every indication of au thority. But she did not look as though she expected to be obeyed. When the door remained contemp- tuously shut, she changed to a whine
 Mark, it's not fair of you to go behavin' like this Hts not fair to me and it's not fair to Babs. She'll be here directly-last thing she said to me last night was that she'd be round as usual! She'll talk about Thursday, the weddin' and one thing and another, and you can't expect me to be the one to tell her you've postponed it again."
 Be quiet" requested Marks voice so close to the keyhole she gasped, stupefied And go away"
 She stood with her foolish mouth gaping Then her heart-beats slowed and she made off down the stairs. Not till she reached the bottom did she reflect that it was beyond all reason to be frightened. What was Mark, after all, but her own child? He ought to be asham- led
 But she did not go up to that closed door again.
 She was pottering about in the ill-lit hall, muttering to herself, when there was a step on the porch. She lunged forward, knock ing the umbrella stand out of it's niche, and opened the door to Barbara.
 How is Mark?"
 It was the first question acked by anyone who came to Kings Barn. Invariably, Mrs. Lodely re- piled, in the vernacular of her youth-"Oh, none so dusty" To Barbart Quentin, however, she said it with a difference. There was an evasion in it.
 Hes had a bad day?" Barbara's hands went motionless amongst the fastenings of her coat.
 My dear gel, haven't seen him since you have! After you'd gone off with Farrell Armitage last night, I found the door shut and you know well enough no power on earth'l make Mark open a door if he don't want to-! And this mornin' he lay low-without so much as a cup of coffee-and this afternoon I had to run out to make excuses for him at the bank and do some shopping, although l swear he went out somewhere after I'd gone, by the time I was back he'd locked himself in the room again!'
 Barbara took her usual chair by the fire. Mrs. Lodely, astride the hearth, scrutinized her more close ly than was her custom.
 Barbara laid her head suddenly back against the dark wood of her chair and closed her eyes. There were such shadows under them that Mrs. Lodely's habitual laugh ter twisted in her throat.
 Here, I say" as thought struck her-"I believe I know what's gettin' you. It's about Mark goin' up to Town with this young millionaire of ours and it's rotten for you, of course it is. But you know if Mark gets taken up by really rich man, well, it'll be the maxim of him. You sure ly see that"
 T see that" echoed Barbara She had not opened her eyes.
 "Toppin of you to take it like that!" breezed Mrs. Lodely. Look here, Babs, why don't you and he get married before he goes up to Town. First thing Thursday morn ing?"

They did so with the aid Of horses
