Couzens Demands Conference Delegates
Unite On Definite Policy

(Continued from Page y
slash and Senator Key Pittman
of Nevada promptly disowned it
as an official proposal.
HarraSsed by Ridicule
This, he was reported to have
charged, made the American dele
cation the object of rtdicule in
conference quarters. Unless the
American delegation can make up
its mind on a definite policy, he
said, it might just as well pack
up and go home.
Couzens, it was understood.
was aroused by the consistent
"panning" to which the Ameri-
can delegation has been subjected
since its arrival in London, not
only in editorials but in the news
columns of the British press.
Beginning with Secretary Hull's
toast to the Irish Republic" on
his arrival at Queenstown, right
through until this morning, the
American delegation and its poll
cies have been held up to ridicule
at every stage.
Meanwhile the Conference had
reached the "veiled threat" stage
today.
Threaten to Turn East
With Washington still unwill-
ing to bind the dollar to the
British pound and French franc
until it can measure dollar elas-
ITCHY against domestic require
ments, both the French and
British are warning they may be
forced" to look eastward instead
of westward for their future bust,
ness.
The French warming was the
most direct. Albert Sarraut,
minister of colonies, said bluntly
that unless the world-meaning
the United States-was willing to
cooperate with France. she would
be forced reluctantly to develop
her own economic life through
her far-flung colonial empire.
Almost simultaneously there

appeared in the British press
obviously inspired stories to the
same effect, stating that unless
the United States were willing to
abandon isolation, the British
would be forced to turn their
attention to further inter-empire
development and to fostering
continental trade.
U. S. Delegates Not Disturbed
These threats do not disturb
the American delegates, who
merely view them as moves in a
game to bring pressure on the
American Government to yield on
immediate currency Stabilization,
which has become almost an
obseSsion in Paris and London.
The Americans unite in sup
porting Washington's reluctance
to stabilize currency while COM
modify prices are still rising in
the United States.
They recognize and admit the
necessity of eventual stabilization,
but are convinced. as apparently
President Roosevelt is, that to
hitch the dollar to the pound
and franc at this time would
cause halt to the rise in prices
at home.
They had ample evidence of
this last week when mere rumors
that a sterilization agreement
had been reached caused severe
drops in home prices.
Splitting Up Into Blocks
Thus. at this stage of the
game, it can't be said the World
Economic Conference is bent to-
ward incubating one big, happy
economic family. On the con-
trary, it is splitting up into
numerous economic blocs with
everyone Scrambling for world
busines on his own.
Despite all the criticism di-
rected at the United States in
this conference by British and
French delegates and the press,
the fact remains that the only

|CKES A VICTOR
. IN BID WAR

Secretary of the Interior Ickes
announced today victory over
the cement men with whom he
has been carrying on a guerilla
warfare over several weeks. When
he originally asked for bids on
cement for Boulder Dam. identical
bids were submitted by number
of companies, and he rejected
them all. AS Secretary Josephus
Daniels did while head of the
Navy Department years ago, in a
similar brush with the steel men,
he announced that the Govern
ment would make its own cement
if better terms could not be had.
A second set of bids was also
rejected, and trade papers took
the Secretary to task, telling him
that cement was so thoroughly
standardized that costs had to
be the same. However, he an
nounced today award of a con-
tract for 100000 barrels of
cement, at a saving to the
Government of $4,000.
About 10 times as much cement
will eventually be required, and
total savings are estimated at
more than half million dollars.

MERCURY At 81.
AND GOING UP

Living up to advance predic-
tions, the temperature passed the
80 mark today, standing at 90
degrees at l p. m. and still rising.
After taking a vacation last
week while Washington shivered
in a summer cold wave, the sun
got back on the job today.
Starting at the nights low of
SO degrees at o'clock this morn
ing, the mercury by 9 had climbed
to 81.
Fair and warmer weather was
the forecast for today and tomor-
row, with showers expected to-
morrow night. The maximum
yesterday was IS, reached at 6
p. M, and this figure will be ex-
ceeded today, the temperature
going well into the COS, it is ex-
pected.

STERILIZATION
To WAIT, SAYS
WOOD|N AIDE
Administration Fears Rise In
Prices Would Be Stopped
BY "Pegging" Now

Currency sterilization will not
take place in the near future,
Undersecretary of the Treasury
Dean Acheson said today.
The policy of this Government
will be to await the balancing Of
budgets by other principal coun-
tries, monetary reforms, and
other economic developments
which must take place before it is
decided at what level currency
should be stabilized.
Gold Policy Factor
Sterilization probably will not
take place until this Government
adopts a permanent gold policy.
The Treasury said that such mat
ters as the gold standard, Stabili-
zation, and budget-balancing were
interlinked to such an extent that
they must be accomplished at the
same time.
Treasury officials had no in
formation relative to possible re-
cess Of the economic conference
pending decision to stabiliza-
ton. They said that the Am
erican delegates probably will
continue stabilization discussions
along with the other propositions
involved in the conference.
They can see no point to ad-
journment of the conference just
because President Roosevelt re-
fuses to stabilize this country's
currency at this or any other
arbitrary level.
American officials feel that the
other matters before the confer
ence are of equal Importance,
and that if currency stabilization
were attempted first a start to-
ward recovery would be made
from the wrong end.
Fear for Rise in Prices
The rise in commodity prices
is regarded by the Administration
as due to uncertainty over the
dollar and it is feared Stabiliza
ton at any point would tend to
arrest this upward trend.
Instructions sent to the Ameri-
can delegation in London permits
the delegates to discuss stabiliza-
ton and listen to whatever pro
posals the other nations may
have to make. The delegates
may even make recommenda-
tions, it was said, but the de-
cision rests with the President
and no one else.

French Paper Admits
Default Was Error

PARIS, June 20 GN.SD .-Ad-
mission that France committed
a serious error" in refusing to pay
last December's debt installment
to America was made in today'S
edition of the newspaper L'ere
Nouvelle, official journal Of
former Premier Herriot's party.
Herriot was thrown out of Of
flee for urging the payment be
made. His paper said:
"HerriOt was right. We
have only to read WashingtOn's
reply to the French note to
realize it, and we remain con-
vinced that in refusing last
December to follow HerriOt the
Chamber of Deputies committed
O. serious error"
Herriot, in a speech at Lyons,
declared that world peace and
prosperity depended on close
friendship between France and

quently as a result of her clashes
with police in her campaign for
the workers.
She was in the thick of many
strikes, helped to organize many
unions, and when Margaret
Sanger conceived the idea of the
Birth Control League, it was Rose
Pastor Stokes who helped her to
organize it. Her reputation as a
lecturer became nationwide.
In 1929, still leading figure in
the movement for which she had
done so much. she was engaged
in the Communistic outbreaks
which occurred that year in New
York.
Married Again
According to her friends, she
saw a policeman beating a fallen
boy with his nightstick during
one of the series of near-riots
which marked that period of dis
turbance. With characteristic
courage she protested. The po-
liceman, said witnesses, turned
upon her and struck her across
the chest with his club.
The friends who have been
faithful to her through the last
years of her life maintain the
blow she received that day was
responsible for the malignant i'll
ness which resulted in her death.
On the ruins of her first mar
riage Mrs. Stokes built another
structure of family life by becom-
ing the wife of Isaac Romaine, a
language instructor. They lived
for time in Westport. Conn.
Early this year it was disclosed
that she was near death in hos
pital in Germany. Friends in this
country arranged a series of bene-
fits for her to raise funds for
medical treatment.
She was born in Suwalk, Rus
sia, in 1879.

Britain Ready to Slash
Tariffs, Conference Told

GEOLOGICAL MUSEUM,
LONDON, June 20 Q.N.S)
Great Britain is ready to reduce
excessive tariffs through bilateral
agreements, Chancellor Of the
Exchequer Neville Chamberlain
declared today in presenting a
memorandum before the eco
nomic commission OF the World
Economic Conference.
He said the agreements must
be made over a long period in
order to create confidence in the
future.
He recommended the most
favored nation clause as the best
method of procedure, reserving
most favored nation treatment
to countries willing to adopt a
reasonable policy in framing their
own tariffs and negotiating new
agreements"
He urged abolition Of purely
prejudicial commercial import
restrictions, particularly arbitrary
import quotas, clearing agree
ments, and barter arrangements.
He added the United Kingdom
is prepared to cooperate in regu-
lation of wheat and other food
supplies in order to restore price
levels. Chamberlain requested
the conference to seek reduction
and gradual abolition Of export
and shipping subsidies.
He also submitted a resolution
to a monetary commission sub
committee urging cessation of de.
flation and stating that central
banks should cooperate to re-
store world prices by announcing
their intention of pursuing a
cheap and plentiful monetary
policy in the open market.

yards, by Willie Smith, negro.
At Il preliminary hearing this
morning, Mayor a. V. Edwards
bound Smith to the March tcrnl
of the superior court without
bond.
Edna Coleman. colored was
also bound to the superior court
on 4 charge of being an accessory
after the fact. The state alleges
that the Coleman woman sen. a
change Of clothing to Smith after
Mr.. Ward was struck. that pot
ton of Smiths clothing was
burned in her home, and that she
attempted to FIX" witnesses for
the hearing this morning.
Three negroes, Smith, Henry
Graham, and Joe Hall, according
to the testimony this morning,
went to the train for the purpose
Of stealing coal. Smith and Hall
were OF two coal cars and
Graham remained on the ground.
Graham stated that Smith threw
off the piece of coal that struck
Mr.. Ward.
Hall. Graham, and Daisy Wise,
,negresS, were bound to the court
under $500 bond each as material
witnesses.
Mr.. Ward sustained a fractured
skull from which injury he died
in the hospital several hours later.
After Mr.. Ward was strucl-,
Smith hid in a toilet at the station
and. according to testimony, the
Coleman woman sent his other
clothes. as those he was wearing
had been identified by q brake
man. A brown sweater, which had
been identified was later, the state
contends. burned in the fire at the
Coleman woman'S home.
