World Problems.
MCDONALD MAKES OFFER

LONDON, July 6. U.Pa = The
world economic conference, on she
verge of complete collapse over the
money stabilization question, was
saved tonight when its stering COM
mittee voted unanimously that the
conference should be continued.
1t was a personal triumph for
President Roosevelt, who, when the
+, European gold nations threatened
to bolt over his monetary attitude,
sent last minute conciliatory
message, not modifying his none
tary stand, but pointing out that
| the conference could continue to
work on other problems with good
results.
The conference was saved by
United States determination, Cam
adian persistence and British me-
diation, resulting in unanimous
approval by the stering committee
of resolution introduced by Prime
Minister j. Ramsay Macdonald,
which was textually contained in a
communique issued by the commit
tee.
Following is the text of the conf
munique:
Whereas the bureau (steering
committee) is firmly determined to
proceed with the work of the con-
ference to the utmost possible ex-
tent and as rapidly as possible, and
/ Whereas, on account Of the cir
cumstances which recently have
arisen, the countries on the gold
standard find themselves obliged
to declare that for the time being
/ it is impossible for them to take
part in any discussions on none
tary questions,
THE bureau agrees unanimously;

! tee to meet as soon as possible and
draw up list of questions which
can under these circumstances use
fully be studied by it.

to rise-to a normal level.
What win be taken as the de-
sired normal level has not been
decided, although the Presi-
dents advisers have spoken
most frequently of somewhere
around the 1926 average.
When the determined level
has been reached, the aim will
be to hold the dollar to that
purchasing power-to hold the
price level steady. The detailed
methods by which this will be
done have not been worked out.
In general, however, a "man-
aged" or honest" dollar would
be based on ever-changing
prices of wheat, corn, cotton,
oil and other commodities
rather than on an unchanging
wight of gold fixed by law.

WASHINGTON, July 6. - The
fate of the world economic confer
ence is of minor Importance in the
Roosevelt program because the
President is striking out to win re-
covery by efforts at home.
He is unmoved by European tao
tics. Foreign criticism only tends
to make him more confident of the
support of the people of the Unit
ed States.
The key to his policy is simple.
He believes the United States can
get quicker results by action at
home than by waiting for SO ma
tions to reconcile conflicting views
At home America is in complete
control of its own situation. To
depend upon international agree
ments for results would be de-
pending upon a situation over
which the United States had little
control, the administration believes,

CHICAGO, July 6. = Negotia-
tions for the return of John (Jake
the Barber) Factor virtually are
completed and the kidnaper brok-
er may be home within "a hours,
the United Press learned today
from a reliable source.
The last details for release of the
former Halsted street barber who
ascended the peaks of British fin
ance and now is wanted in Eng
land on charges of perpetrating a
ST 100000 swindle were expected to
be arranged by this afternoon. Fac
tor, abducted Saturday at North
Shore roadhouse, was expected to
go to one of his four luxurious
homes under cover of darkness to-
night.
Negotiations have been conducted
by Jack Arvey and Moe Rosenberg,
the latter an indicted Democratic
politician. Despite insistent deni-
ais by Jerome Factor, 10, son of the
elder Factor, who witnessed the
kidnapping, a communication from
the gang was received by A. L. Ep-
stein, an attorney. Epstein was
with the Factors when the broker
was seized and himself was held by
the gang for short while. Before
his release, it was learned he was
given instructions for negotiations.
The original ransom demand of
S150,00O was understood to have
been reduced. The money will be
obtained from one of Factor IS nu-
merous accounts as soon as banks

TO PREVENT

FOOD PRICES
Justice Department Will CO.
operate With Wallace To Pro-
tect General Public.
BREAD INCREASE OPPOSED
Cabinet Officer Denies Justifi-
cation Exists For Extreme
Rise In Cost.
BY WILLIAM F. KERRY

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 6. The
administration today began deter
mined warfare against business
concerns which take advantage of
rising prices to profiteer.
The justice department will CO.
operate fully with Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wallace to protect the
public against gouging on food
prices. Prosecution was threatened
IN cases where increases are shown
to be unjustified and concerns re-
fuse to reduce prices.
Imposition of processing taxes,
together with the general increase
in the price level which is desired
by the administration, will inevi-
tably mean higher cost of living
for the general consuming public
But the government is determined
that the increases shall not be pyra-
mided by profiteering.
Wallace was especially irate over
heavy increases in the retail price
of bread announced by bakers in
many parts of the country. Bakers
claimed they were necessary be-
cause of the recent boom in wheat
and flour prices and the 30-cent
per bushel processing tax which
goes into effect July to provide
farm relief funds.
However, Wallace and Peek, farm
relief administrator, joined in stat
ing that they do not believe that
there has been any justification
for some of the bread price in
creases. They calculated the wheat
tax was equal to one-half cent on
a one pound loaf of bread.
Evidence which the agricultural
department has collected will be
placed Immediately before the de-

vision, declared that Indiana now is
leader among states where she
had become a laughing stock under
Republican rule.
Mr.. Groninger ridiculed the state
government in addressing the Irv-
ington Republican Club Monday
night and Mr.. Jackson replied in an
address to the Democratic Women's
Statehouse Club last night.
Mr.. Jackson paid high tribute to
the 1888 legislature, which had been
assailed by Mr.. Groninger for per-
mitting dictation OF laws by Gov
ernor Paul v. McNutt.
The people of Indiana. I some
times think, little realize how for
tunate they are to be living in this
state rather than in some of the
neighboring states of ours" said Mr.
Jackson.
I'VE all must admit that Indiana
for many years has had black eye
among states. 1t was laughed and
Scoffed at. 1t was conceded as a
state where political connivance was
an art developed into its highest
degree and where corruption reigned
supreme.
