For the last IA years he has sat in

SO many holy Roman Emperors once

or soldier. You climb the marble stairs

speaking good English. You proceed
across two or three enormous and al
most empty salons.
In the third or these salons, where
guests are sometimes received. you wait.
President Masaryk received me, how
ever. in his study, large room crammed
with books and Snugly furnished. He
led me to his desk beside the window
and took his place behind it, flashing
brown eyes behind his scholars sp2cta-
cles and laid those strong, thin hands
of his, which have so often swung a

What can 1 do for you?" he asked
in slow, chosen English.

President Masaryk What do you

Correspondent: Put it this way:
From time to time down the ages there
has regularly appeared sprinkling of
human beings who. against the society
around them. strove for the recognition
of better things. Among these were
beauty and intelligence, also such emil
n6ntly civilized qualities as reason, tol-
erance. mercy. personal liberty and So
Gal justice. Do you accept this def
nition?"
President Masaryk: Suppose I do?

logical data and in part with searching
for suitable landing sites for poten-
tial commercial air route between
America and Europe.
So far have scientists and technicians
progressed in recent years with their in
vestigations of conditions in the North
that the spectacular idea of commercial
traffic over "Greenland's icy noun
tains" has evolved in 10 years from a
dream in the mind of an enthusiast to
the point where a matter-of-fact busi-
ness organization is willing to spend
thousands of dollars on search for
landing places. Spots are needed that
contain nat lands, lakes or placid arms
of the sea on which planes can descend
without being too close to high noun
tains These spots must be accessible
from the sea for supply ships and -ela-
lively free from fogs and storms. And
the research already has shown that
there are many districts in Greenland
which are less foggy and less subject to
storms than New York City.
The Greenland-Icelandr route between
the United States and Northern Europe
offers the advantage of short hops-few,
if any, of them more than 300 miles
long-with a total distance that Is only
q little longer thsn the Great Circle
Evening star., 1933-07-09

course and far shorter than the only
other practical route, the southern
one by way of the Azores. The possibil-
ity of breaking a route into hops,
punctuated by refueling stations, is a
decided advantage The economic COM
mercial hop is about 300 miles. When
it becomes longer the need for carrying
more gasoline cuts down the pay load.
Lindbergh flew directly from New York
to Paris, but that does not mean that a
commercial line could operate direct
service between these two points and
make a profit.
From Chicago or New York to Northern
Labrador is approximately l,500 miles,
with plenty of lakes and landing fields
en- the way Leaving the bleak and rocky
coast of Labrador or Baffln Island, the
route crosses Davis Strait, an ove-water
hop of about 300 miles, to the West
coast of Greenland. Here the future
flyers along this route will find sue

OTTAWA, Ontario-Canada's gross
agricultural wealth in 1882 has been
estimated by the Dominion Bureau OF
Statistics at $5,O6s, 100000. The two
provinces which go over the billion
mark are Ontario and Saskatche wan,
the former being 1885, 725, ,000 and the
latter 81 ,143, ,669, 900.
Where Ontario leads is in the value
Of the buildings. live stock, poultry, fur

FARLEY UNITES EUROPE
AGAINST REST OF WORLD
Powers Lining Up With U. S. Seek Aims
Regarding Dollar Before They Link
Their Fate to Americas.

pire, Asia, Scandinavia and Latin Amer
ica are sympathetically inclined, but
before they definitely link their fate
to the American, they demand to know
just what the United States is getting
at They want to know in particular
how far the United States intends to
let the dollar fall, what price level it
is aiming to reach, what means it pro-
poses in order to defend that price level
and what 1t understands by commod-
ity dollar.
Financial Advisors Confused.
Up to the present the American dele
cation here has been unable to answer
any of these questions. Its financial
advisers appear disgrunted and con-
fused. Edmund E. Day and DR.. o. M.
w. Sprague have gone home. James
P Warburg, alleged financial genius
of President Rocsevelt's brain trust, J."
is still staying on. but is believed to be
far from happy at the recent turns in
the Presidents currency theories.
There is the greatest uncertainty as
to what policies the delegation shall
put forward in case the Steering Com
mittee decides tomorrow as the United
States demands, to continue full dis
cussion on all points.
IL Is Thought tlldt lIlc hlIlcIlC piO-
posals, as previously presented, will stand
in the main, even in the light of Presi-
dent Roosevelts latest messages, but
not without some amendment. The dele
cation is therefore continuing its con-
situations with the President to deter
mine just what course it is best to
take here.
There are all sorts of inside rumors.
Some say that American StablllZatlon
is now near. President Roosevelt al
ready has a 68-cent dollar and will be
satisfied, it is alleged, when the dollar
is down to 60 cents in terms of gold.
Others assert that the dollar is al
ready too low and will be brought up to
IS or 80 cents. Still others whisper
that President Roosevelt is getting
ready to propose a new world commod-
ity dollar, whatever this may mean.
Meanwhile. the conference will con-
tinue to exert a wildly disturbing ef-
feet on the worlds exchanges.
The truth seems to be that there IS
a large volume Of capital erratically
seeking some place Of refuge, but there
is no sure refuge in sight. There is no
certainty either that the pound will not
ultimately follow the dollar or that the
present gold currencies will not be
forced off the gold standard.
Hence a tendency is growing every
where to sell fixed income securities
and buy common stocks. Certainly, at
no time since the depression began. has
the worlds financial confusion been so
great as now

! then over the inland ice itself, an
! enormous fiat sheet swept almost clean
of snow by the winds-the world
largest natural landing field.
After this comes Denmark Strait. an
other 300 miles of open water, and then
Iceland. a massive pile of lava flelds
and volcanoes. desert Su-roundeo oy
splendid green valleys. where not
snrings send clouds of white steam into
the air and where the modern descen.-
ants of the Vikings still talk of the days

whatever the flyers destination may be.
Behind COL Lindbergh's flight over
this route lies a great amount OF re-
search. Dr. Vilhjalmur Stefansson. the
father of the idea of commercial flying
over the Arctic, has taken big part
in this detailed study. And back OF the
present flight lies the work already &C
complished by two expeditions that for
months have been maintained IN the

land and the other on the West Coast.
DR.. Ralph Belknap, the leader Of the
west coast research party. is now on
! his way inland to establish a meteoro-
logical observing post in the very center
of the Greenland icecap.
But that Is not all. Back OF this
present activity in the Arctic lies a
/ program of the most intense scientific
| activity that the isolated mountains OF
Greenland have ever seen. program
that deserves an important place in
the heroic saga of polar exploration.
Stefansson was the first to advocate
the use of commercial airplanes over
the Arctic Peary had preceded him
by advocating the use of aircraft for
exploration, but Stefansson had gone a
step further and talked of the North as
possible scene of everyday, scheduled
flying of passengers and mail. His
views were first published in August,
1922, and they resulted in his being
quite generally considered a mad man.
and our fear of the North has receded
as our knowledge of it has progressed.
Aviators, scientists and eventually finan-
ciers began to see something In Stefans-
sons ideas They began to turn to
the Greenland Iceland route as the one
most Immediately feasible for CONNER
cial utilization. They began a rush to
Greenland for information and a
scramble to Iceland and Denmark for
concessions.
The explorers who began to overrun
Greenland a few years ago concerned
themselves largely with weather. The
aviators who were to fly over Green
land In the future would need all the
meteorological information they could
get. Prof. William H. Hobbs Of the

Y ONDON-Two great antagonist;
of the World Monetary and Eco
nomic Conference here - the
IL United States on one hand anC
France on the other-were pre-
pairing today in their respective camps
for an epic struggle when the Steering
Committee meets again tomorrow to de-
eide the future of the gathering.
The whole world appears to be lining
up behind one or the other. Almost
solidly united Europe now stands with
France.
Behind the United States, however
stands most of the rest OF the world
including the Far East. the British En-
pire, Scandinavia and Latin America.
The French-led gold bloc" revealed
itself in the votes as what is now being
called a sort of United States of Con-
tinental Europe The leading Contin-
entail powers, France. Italy, Germany
and Poland, supported by Belgium
Switzerland, Holland, CZechoSlovakia
Yugoslavia, Rumania, Spain. Bulgaria
Austria and Turkey. seem to be actu-
ally standing together for the first time
since the World War.
Both Groups Woo Russia.
Having all seen imitation at first hand
or close by, and dreading it like poison
and being. moreover, inclined to favor
the accumulation of capital by thrift
and investment they want to maintain
the gold standard.
Both groups apparently are trying to
win Russia. which thus far Is somewhat
non-corlmittal. The United States
seems definitely planning to recognize
the Soviet government. Such action
would naturally have to precede any
Russo American cooperation.
The Russians. meanwhile, have COM
pleted non aggression pacts with France
and all of Frances Eastern European
allies Franco-Russian relations today
are excellent The spectacle of gold
franc and a commodity dollar both
wooing paper ruble is not without
humor.
Representatives of the central banks
of the principal continental gold coun-
tries are meeting in Paris to devise
means for a common defense against
the undermining effects of the uncer-
tain pound and the falling dollar There
is talk of a continental gold equalization
fund to protect such gold exchanges as
may hereafter be threatened.
There will probably also De a discus
sion regarding what to do in case the
present 70-cent dollar slides to SO cents
