MOLEY FIASCO AS MESSIAH
SMOOTHED OVER BY SUAVE HULL
'Napoleonic Entry" Into London of Assist
ant Secretary Ends In Near-Disaster, but
Secretary Restores Harmony.

Not since Napoleon. returning from
Elba marched across the world with
his victorious legions has so gorgeous q
political pageant appeared on the Euro
pean scene as the Moley show. He was
advertised as the vice regent Of the
President. the Rooseveltian alter-ego
who should take the reins from Mr..
Hull.
Reporters flocked to his ship. His
London appearance, glowing in q Bar
ney Baruch aura, was amid hosannas
and waving palms, meSsianic en-
trance to this wicked new Jerusalem.
But wise American reporters who
knew Prof. Moley, were willing to take
even bets that he would emerge in
two weeks as the jackass Of the mes
siah. He went to the American en-
bassy to be a point or two above the
American delegation. Suddenly the
newspaper men left Claridges. where
the delegation was housed sand herded
to the embassy. where Moley was max
ing so much disturbance that two ex-
ira servants had to be hired to minis
ter to his wants.
Submerged Mr.. Hull.
He talked on the transatlantic tele-
phone, high, wide and handsome! Mr..
Hull submerged. Ramsay Macdonald
actually asked Mr.. Hull for q con-
sultation with Prof. Moley over the
Secretary's head Moley went into a
huddle with Representatives in the con-
ference Of England and the gold coun-
tries. lost touch with the American
delegation. and in due course tele-
phoned to Mr.. Hull to come over to
the Moley conference and read the
agreement Moley had worked out.
As Mr.. Hull had three times asked
the President for authority to confer
on stabilization, and three times had
been refused, he did not put his sigma
ture to the Moley compromise. neither
did he brawl with his interiors Through
all the hullaballoo OF the Moley per-
formance Mr.. Hull did not pout or
buster. He played the Presidents
game.
And when in answer to Moley's in
sistence on q stabilization compromise
President Roosevelt was determined in
his refusal to negotiate the question of
currency stability. Mr. Hull, after Moley
had departed, worked with all his might
to put Humpty- -Dumpty together again
to save the conference.
Pleaded for Harmony,
As an American Mr.. Hull stood day
after day in meetings of committees
and pleaded for harmony among the
nations, begged them not to let the
conference die or fail.
It was that fine chivalric spirit Mr..
Hull exhibited before all the world in
convention assembled which made him
at the end the most engaging and prob
ably the most powerful figure in the
group.
So Americas real gain out of this
conference Is the worlds opinion, formed
here In London, that it pays an Ameri-
can to be a gentleman. to take his
punishment. and to trust to the inherent
justice Of his position for vindication.

1t was thrown in the waste basket for
