Capt. Boyd Greeted Here
By Flying Instructor

AS result of his flight to Wash
ington from Haiti, Capt. Enrol
Boyd, today will have a talk with
an old friend.
The friend Is Howard Okie,
owner of the Okie art galleries
here. Yesterday he was at the
Hoover airport when Boyd, after
% hours and so minutes in the
air, dropped the famous ocean
crossing monoplane, the Colum-
bia, on the field. They had not
seen each other since 1915.
In England, in that year, Boyd
was transferred from the Cana
dian to the English army and
Okie, an instructor, took Boyd
for his first airplane ride. Since
that time, Boyd has achieved out
standing aerial conquestS. He
crossed the Atlantic from New
foundland to the Scilly Isles off
the Englih coast, made the first
nonstop flight from New York to
Bermuda and return, flew from
New York to Haiti last month,
and capped his adventures with
the flight that ended here yes
terday.
Boyd brought with him q let
ter from President Vincente Of
Haiti to President Roosevelt, but
found he couldn't deliver it un-
til it had been taken to the local
postoffice and cancelled. This will
be done at noon through coopera-
ton of the State and Postoffice
departments. The letter carried
a special issue of Haitian stamps.

friend and former naval flier

Dollfuss announced his government

were believed to be destined for
Hungary, and the French and Eng

The japanese delegation in Geneva

men, who, Mr.. Roosevelt said,
were drafted" against their will,
were at once associated with him in
the preliminaries of determining the
policies of the incoming administra-
ton in its relations with foreign
powers. They became members of
what Mr.. Roosevelt has called his
"unofficiar' committee to advise him
on world economic problems, and
met with that group, which includes
Bernard Baruch, Prof. Raymond
Moley and others.
Mr.. Hull, long considered one of
the ablest men in the Democratic
party, is not an orator or an ac-
complished debater, but is studious,
resourceful and has served his coun-
try ably for many years in the house
and the senate. Before entering
congress he was in the Tennessee
legislature, and he served in the
Spanish-American war as captain
of volunteer infantry. He is devoted
to the policy of tariffs for revenue
only, and believes that one of the
basic causes of the business depres-
sion has been nationalist isolation,
started by the United States in 1920
with the erection of tariff walls
which other nations were quick to
copy. Prohibitive tariffs, he holds,
have helped stagnate trade by Great

CIR RONALD LINDSAY, British
y ambassador, Immediately after
his return from London held confer
ences with Mr.. Roosevelt-Secre-
tary of State Stimson approving
and reported to Sir John Simon, for
eign secretary, that the conversa-
lions had been useful" What was
said was not revealed, but Sir John
said:
z 1.-THE conversations are, of course,
at present in a wholly preliminary
stage and of an entirely general
character, but it is not too soon to
say that we believe that by a frank
and intimate interchange of views
between ourselves and the United
States over the whole field of cur
rent economic problems, the way
will be best prepared for the effort
which the countries of the world
must make together to assist in
promoting world recovery"
Mr.. Roosevelt also conferred at
length with Paul Claudel, the
French ambassador, and William
Duncan Herridge, the minister from
Canada. In Paris Foreign Minister
Paul-Boncour said war debt nego-
tiations between France and the
United States would be resumed aft
er the Inauguration of Mr.. Roose-
welt, but did not explain just what
form the negotiations would take. (
d EPEAL of the Eighteenth amend
ment is now up to the states,

repeal of publicity clause in the r.
f. G. act. The President also advised
the ratification of the st. Lawrence
waterway treaty, the adoption of
the arms embargo resolution and
the starting of study looking to the
expansion of the home loan banks
into a general mortgage discount
system. Mr.. Hoover advocated the
Hyde farm leasing plan as substi-
tute for the domestic allotment
scheme, declaring the latter seemed
wholly unavoidable" and calculated
to do far greater harm than good to
agriculture.
The senate did take up the bank
ruptcy bill, which had passed the
house, and it also passed the Wagner
relief bill, which increases the r. F..
G. funds for state relief and goes
farther than the President contem-
plated. It was generally agreed
that his other recommendations
would meet with no response during
the short session.
CPEAKER GARNER dropped his
y plan to make Roosevelt con-
stitutional dictator for two years,
and the house accepted the senate
provision of the treasury and post
office appropriation bill comforting
limited autocratic power on the in
coming President to reorganize the
administrative branch of the fed
eral government. BY its terms he
may consolidate or abolish any adj
ministrative agencies and their
functions, but may not abolish or
consolidate entire departments.
The house rejected the senate
amendment directing the head of
each department and independent
establishment to effect 5 per cent
reduction in expenditures from ap-
preparations for the fiscal year
1884.
Without debate the house accept
ed the "Buy American" amendment
sponsored by Senator Johnson Of
California. It provides that the
heads of all government depart
ments must buy for government use
only goods made or produced in the
United States or substantially com
posed of domestic material.

was reversal of it's attitude of the
first day of the session, when res
Olution to submit unqualified repeal
failed of adoption by 6 votes. 1t was
in way personal victory for Rep
resentative Henry 7. Rainey Of Illi-
nois, Democratic leader, who moved
the adoption of the senate resolu-
ton and argued warmly and effec-
lively in it's behalf.
Though immediate steps toward the
calling of conventions were taken
in many of the states, the battle for
repeal was by no means won when
the submission resolution was
adopted. Ratification by thirty-six
states is necessary, and If this is
not obtained within seven years the
whole matter lapses and prohibition
remains OF course the vets are
confident that repeal will win in the
required number of states within
at the most four years, and possibly
in much less time, and it may be
they are right. Wet leaders assert
that only Kansas, Mississippi, Ok
lahoma, Arkansas and Nebraska can
be counted on as certainly dry, and
Alabama, Vermont, Idaho and Maine
as doubtful. On the other hand
Bishop James Cannon, Jr., asserts
that thirty to thirtyithree states will
refuse to validate the Blaine amend
ment.
Disagreement as to the method by
which states conventions may be set
up may delay the functioning of the
machinery of ratification. Some con-
gressmen thought congress should
prescribe the procedure, but Sena-
tor Walsh of Idaho held that all con-
nection which congress has with pro-
hibition repeal ended with submits
sion of the new amendment to the
states. This view also was taken
by Representative Beck of Pennsyl-
vania, who, like Senator Walsh, is
an eminent authority on the Con-
stitution.
