IN UNITED ACTION
Secretary, Addressing Law
Society, Points to Danger
in Present Crisis.
BY the Associated Press.

Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, told
the American Society Of International
Law last night that 1.-The destiny Of
for leadership in the existing grave
crisis"
Speaking at the society's annual din
ner, Secretary Hull, who was elected
an honorary vice president, called for
an end Of "boot-strap methods" by
which nations have been seeking in
dividually to combat the depression and
pointed to united action as exemplified
by the international conversations at
the White House as the way out.
THE present utterly chaotic and dig
located conditions-political, economic
and moral-in every part Of the world
present terrifying crisis" he said.
Treaties Declared Flouted.
international treaty obligations are
houted, the sanctity of contracts b
completely ignored, while force and
violence are either INDUCED In or threat
ened in different parts Of the world;
the international exchange and none
tary situation loudly call for stabilizs-
tion: the commodity prices in world
markets are in . state Of collapse; in
ternational finance and trade are al
most dried up"
Pointing to hundreds of millions Of
suffering and desperate people in the
various countries" Hull said one phase
Of the psychology "is the possibility Of
social disturbances and uprisings easily
leading to widespread disorders"
1T Is also true" he added, that most
moderH military conflicts and other
serious International controversies are
rooted in economic conditions, and that
economic rivalries are in most modern
instances the prelude to the actual vars
that have occurred.
THE restoration Of fair, friendly and
normal trade relations among nations
at present would not only avoid serious
economic, military and political differ
ences between countries In the future.
but would 60 far toward composing those
now existing"
Cooperation Held Essential,
BY international cooperation in a
spirit of good will, Hull said, the
shackles" to international trade and
commerce will be loosed and the great
burden OF depression removed from the
land"
Representative McReynolds of Tennes-
see. chairman Of the House FOREIGN
Committee, in another address defended
the constitutionality Of the arms en-
barge resolution now pending in the
Senate
McReynolds said he had been greatly
astonished recently to learn members
OF the American Society Of International
Law had questioned the constitutionality
CT the resolution on the ground it would
enable the President to make interna-
tlonal agreements and therefore was .
delegation Of his treaty-making powers
Aside from the misconstruction Of
the words used in the resolution, how
ever McReynolds said. 1T was a mat.
ter OF some astonishment to me that
any one should at this state of our
national history attempt to question the
constitutionality Of legislation which
would call for the Presidents action in

CAMPAIGN OPENED
FOR DEAF MILLIONS
1926 Groups Launch National
Hearing Week With Bid
for Understanding.

A bid for countrywide understand
ing OF a handicap which threatens at
least partial isolation to 1900, 900 per-
sons In the United States will be made
today with the opening of National
Hearing Week by the Washington
League for the Hard Of Hearing and
l25 similar groups.
These associations, united under the
American Federation Of Organizations
for the Hard Of Hearing, with headquar-
ters Of the Volta Bureau, 1887 Thirty
fifth street, have dedicated the first
week in May to an intensive drive in
behalf Of the following sufferers:
The misunderstood child, supposed to
be stupid by teachers, playmateS and
even parents, when he is merely hard
OF hearing, fact which he himself
often fails to realize
The partially deaf worker whose
handicap too frequently makes him the
f1rst to 60 In times of economic stress,
although he may >hAve qualities which
would demonstrate his worth in another
department Of the same business.
The child victim of a subtle and grad.
ual impairment Of the heaying, who
could be spared permanent trouble by
simple hearing tests and the proper
medical attention.
100000 School Children.
Some 100000 school children who
already are hard of hearing, but who
by instruction In lip reading would be
permitted in after life an equal chance
with their more fortunate fellows.
The adult who, through personal
vanity or the fear Of ridicule. conceals
the fact that he cannot hear well,
thus cutting himself of from the bene-
fits Of artificial hearing aids, and ex-
posing himself to the jests and mis-
taken opinions Of his associates.
The innumberable deaf or partially deaf
persons whose handicap exposes them
to exploitation by the quack and his
devices.
And last, the millions Of men, women
and children who are separated to .
certain degree from their fellows by an
inability to hear. and who would benefit
from a larger understanding Of their
plight, a wider instruction in lip read
ing and a more general use OF ear
phones in theaters, churches and other
public gathering places.
Campaign Objective.
Miss Betty c. Wright, executive di-
rector Of the federated group, said the
campaign will concentrate on prevent
ing deafness through the discovery Of
faulty hearing in the young, and on
improving the lot Of the hard Of hear
ing by teaching the victim as well As
his associates.
The person who is hard Of hearing.
Miss Wright said, must be encouraged
to frankly confess the defect. or false
pride may cost him q free exchange
with his associates. The cultivation Of
a sense of huron oftens helps a deaf
person to emerge from self-enforced
isolation.
A feature OF the national drive will

COMMUNIST PARTY
TO GUST MILLION
Drastic "Purging" Process
June ! to Complete Its
Wedding Out.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
MOSCOW, April 29.-Almost a mil
lion members and aspirant members of
the Communist party are slated to be
ousted under drastic "purging" regula-
tons promulgated today, which were
designed to eradicate all "careerists,
hypocrites and actual enemies
At the same time the government
greatly extended the recently estab-
lished passport system, thereby increas-
ing its power to supervise the life and
movements Of the people.
On June the Communist party will
launch its "purging" campaign to COM
plete the preliminary wedding out pro-
cess which started the first OF the year.
This campaign. orders issued by the
party'S central control committee made
clear, will be pursued not only to get rid
nate unstable and undisciplined'
members.
Some 10 Go on Probation.
All Communists found to be INSULT
GENTLY trained will be degraded to the
rank of candidate for q probationary
period of one year, during which they
will be expected to increase their polit-
ical knowledge and their sense Of re-
sponsibility.
Persons now in the category Of candi-
date will be placed in the corps Of
"sympathizers," specially created for
them in the new order This regulation
hits those candidates who are con-
sidered inadequately trained for their
party obligations, and their probation
ary period also will extend for one
year.
The Communist party strength at
present Is 100000. Of whom 1000, 900
candidates and full members have been
admitted in the last two and q half
years.
The decree calls for ruthless pruning
to restore iron discipline" in the only
political party of Soviet Russia The
party authorities admitted that as a
result of recent mass admissions many
strange elements have penetrated the
ranks, including careeristS, hypocrites
and actual enemies"
Passport Plan Extended.
The extension of the passport system,
recently introduced in the largest cities
of the nation, was decreed by the coun-
Gil Of peoples commissars.
In the future passports will be re-
Quired Of the populations OF all cities.
workers settlements and all new plants
and enterprises, and of all persons as
signed to transport, state farms and
tractor stations. In addition, every
person living within 100 kilometers of
Russia's western frontier must be pro-
vided with passport.
1t was explained that in all cases, ex-
cept in the principal population centers
in which the passport system was orig
inally introduced, passports will be is
sued without reference to the social
origin and socially useful work" of the
applicant.
This means that the passports will
serve only as identity cards in the
smaller cities. In the larger cities,
where they have been required for sew
eral months, they have assisted the au-
thorities in wedding out persons con-
Sidered undesirable.
Extension of the passport system to
the rural districts was foreshadowed by
q regulation requiring all persons In
these districts to be registered.
