MORGAN PROBE IS HALTED FOR
 SEVERAL DAYS
Executive Session Being Held to Determine
 Future Course

WASHINGTON, June 5. = The course of the remainder of the Morgan inquiry rested today upon the decision by the Senate inves- tigating committee whether to dig all the way into the income tax returns of the individual members of the banking house.
 An executive committee meeting has been called for the purpose of settling the protest by counsel for Morgan which halted the hear- ings last Friday.
 The Senators are said to have information that some of the younger partners draw $l00,OoO yearly salaries in addition to shar- ing what earnings the Morgan bank may net.
 Inside Information
 The committee members were told at the executive session by Attorney Pecora, the committees counsel, that Thomas s. Lamont, a Morgan partner, sold stock to his wife which was later rebought in connection with his income tax return in 1880, but the committee counsel said he contends this as being illegal. Charles Mitchell, former Chairman of the National City Bank, is now on trial in New York for income tax evasion re- sulting from sale of his stock to his wife and the Government con- tends this is not a bona fide sale.
 The committee meets again to- morrow to decide whether to go into the income of all members of the firm or go into the personal stock transactions of only William Ewaing and Harold Stanley.

 'The all-comprehending rob- lem," says Macdonald, lis how to get the riches of the world en- joyed by the peopSs who dwell in it."
 With nearly 3,oO0oOO of her in- sured workers alone unemployed her trade moving under reduced steam, and her markets cut by tottered currencies, Britain has at first hand a lesson in the need for remedies.
 As Britain Views It
 To attain the objective of pros perity, British opinion is generally agreed that certain salient steps must be taken. They include rais- ing of prices for raw produce, re- moval of trade barriers and ulti- mate stabilization of currencies.
 It is a definite opinion of the EsllSllSll 6tloO blldO Olp- ACbAAA 1T C4 prosperity will depend largely upon the settlement of war debts. But that subject is not on the agenda of the conference.
 Britains prices in common with the rest of the world, have been swept precipitately downward 1T the general crumbling of values The extent of the decline is evi- denced by government figures that show that with 100 as the whole sale price index in 1929, it hao slumped to 88 in 1880, 76 in 1881 and "A last year.
 Trade Barriers Loom Large

the worlds ills further include an other interwoven factor-removal of trade barriers.
 Excessive tariffs, quotas and eX- change restrictions are viewed as leading obstacles to the flow of trade. And Britain, her free trade days now but a memory, has in her own tariffs a bargaining weapon she intends to use
 The country has primary inter est in seeking frear trade through out the world because, with a great population packed into a small area, the livelihood of many of it's people is dependent upon the sue cess of export industries.
 There is little disposition among authorities here to believe that Britain's use of her bargaining weapon will be hampered by the Ottawa agreements, against which most frequent criticism has been that British hands are now tied.
 The answer given to this criti- cism is the citing of recent trade agreements with Argentina, Dsn- mark, Norway, Sweden and Ger many.
 Weapon Held Powerful
 If, the reply goes, success can be attained through discussions with individual countries, it can only mean that the bargaining weapon would be no less powerful in a comprehensive discussion with al countries at the economic confer ence.
