public the burden of their con-
versations with Mr.. Roosevelt,
and Mr.. Roosevelt likewise has
been noticeably reticent about dis
cussing the visitors.
Truce Believed Topic
There has been the attempt to
convey the impression that these
leaders of the conservative wing
have been talking with the Presi-
dent about his proposed truce be-
tween industry and labor. Prob
ably that subject has been dis
cussed.
But there IS every reason to be-
lieve that the conversations be-
tween the President and his call
ers has gone to more fundamental
matters.
Bankers have been particularly
obvious among the White House
callers. The visits of these men
are coupled with the forthcoming
session of the American Bankers
Associa ton, to be held here next
week, at which the President will
speak.
The contents Of the Presidents
talk on that occasion are being
awaited anxiously in business
circles. 1t is being freely forecast
that Mr.. Roosevelt will seize the
occasion to give some of the bank
ers an accolade and remove from
the general banking group the
stigma which has been attached
to them since Mr.. Roosevelt made
his inaugural address and called
for elimination of the money
changers"
No Hint of Relenting
How much reason there is for
believing that the President will
turn from disparagement of the
bankers to their praise is problem
atical. In his last public ad-
dress, his recent "fireside chat, "
Mr.. Roosevelt gave slight indica-
ton of relenting in his attacks on
the bankers.
On the other hand, many of
them have been among his recent
callers and have whispered among
themselves after their visits that
things were looking better for the
banking fraternity.
This talk of Qualification of
the attitude of the President to-
ward the bankers is having its
effect already in the various Gov.
eminent agencies. There is no
longer the inclination to smile de,
risively whenever the banking
group is mentioned. There is, in.
stead, a growing tendency to en-
courage the financiers and bid for
their participation in the renewed
effort to stimulate industry.

Regretfully Com mi ssioner
George E. Allen will tell Mrs.
John Boyle, jr., of the citizens adj
visory committee, that the District
cannot legally furnish meals for
District children, whose parents
are not on relief rolls.
Mrs. Boyle announced her in
tention yesterday of seeing the
commissioner, saying:
81 am sure that when Com
missioner Allen knows the facts
in the case he will give a sym
pathetic response and submit
request for funds without de-

Commissioner Allen said today
that he is very sympathetic and
that if Mrs. Boyle can find some
way in which the District can use
relief funds for this purpose le-
gally, he would do so Immediately.
However he said, as far as he
knows, this is not possible.

Feast of IL Marys
Revived at Venice

ROME, Italy-"The Feast Of the
Twelve Marys' was revived in Venice
this year after almost seven centuries
of oblivion. Twelve of the prettiest
poor girls of Venice were enabled by
gifts from the community to marry
their flances in a ceremony originally
established to commemorate the kid
naping Of Venetian brides by Triestine
pirates in 944 and their recapture by
the Venetians themselves.
This year the girls chosen averaged
% years of age. Their bridegrooms
averaged 81: three of them were car
penters, three general laborers, two
bricklayers, one a mechanic, one
pushcart peddler, one a porter and
one barber.
Besides wedding dress and bou-
quet, each bride received the follow
ing gifts: From Prime Minister Benito
MuSsolini, so meters of linen: from
the local community chest, bed room

Venice, 300 lire in cash; from the

Transpacific Travel
Is Staging Come Back

acknowledgements passen-
ger travel. which reached a low ebb in
1882 and 1888. is coming back"
strongly, and one reason obviously is
the dislike of many Americans to
travel in Europe under present condi-
tions. Questioning of a number of
travellers coming to Hawaii this Win
ter indicates that the majority of them
might have visited Europe except for
two things-tiie decline of the dollar
and pronounced animosity toward
France. The latter factor seems to be
real one in the minds of many trav-
cling Americans. They base this at
titude on the unwillingness of France
to pay war debts.
Travel both to Hawaii alone and to
the farther countries of the Pacific
Japan, China. the Philippines, Aus
tralia and New Zealand apparently
will be good through the Winter
months and well into Spring. Several
hundred tourists are arriving here
each week, the majority to stay for
several weeks and many for months.

Hawaii Gets Clean
Bill in p. w. A. Probe

HONOLULU.-High tribute to the
freedom of the national public works
in Hawaii from graft or irregularity
has been paid by Maj. Stanley L.
Scott of the Engineer Corps, U. S.
Army. Maj. Scott has been designated
by the Federal Government to take
general charge of all p. w. A. con-
tracts and the general P. w. A. pro-
gram in Hawaii under the terms of
the recovery act. An eflcient Army
engineer, he has studied carefully
every phase Of the P. w. A. admins
tration here.
With reports from various parts Of
the United States of irregularities in
the P. w. A. and the c. w. A., Maj.
Scott has been able to give Hawaii a
clean bill of health. declaring that
there is no evidence of even petty
graft.
Meanwhile Hawaii is setting not
able pace in the matter of public
contracts under the recovery program.
These contracts are being let rapidly
and work is well along on many OF
them. Hawaii is leading the Nation
in the proportion of funds allocated
to 1t compared with funds actually
put to use. Officials, contracting con-
Germs and material companies are all
cooperating to get work under way
with all the speed consonant With

Pirandello Notebooks

ROME.-Extracts from the note
books of Luigi Pirandello from which
the Italian playwright fashioned his
six Characters in Search of an Au-
thor" LAS You Desire Me-" and other
dramas. have just been published
here by the New Anthology, liter
ary, scientific and artistic review.
The outline of the plot for six
Characters in Search of an Author"
appeared in Pirandello's notebook as
early as 1910 in the form of a short
story. Two years later the play
wright added a note on the philo-
sophie problems involved, in which he
said:
The beautiful thing about 1t is
this: That the characters have left
me and have arranged the scenes of
the romance among themselves, as
was bound to be the case. They play
out the story before me, but as though
I were not there. as though the story
did not depend upon me, as though
I could not affect it in any way"

SERIOUS PROBLEM BEHIND
SANDING SLAYINC PROBE
President Sacasa to Learn if Military
Caste Is Undermining Regime Built
Upon Success of National Guard.

vate aides, to air his grievances and
to discuss the future status Of his
followers.
In the conversations which ensued,
as was publicly reported at the time
and has been later proved by docu-
ments exchanged between President
Sacasa and Sandino, the two had
come to a general agreement on all
issues pending, among which were
certain reforms in the constitution
of the National Guard.
Then, following a dinner at the
presidential palace which he at
tended with his party, Sandino was
attacked in the outskirts Of Managua
by a group of National Guardsmen
and shot 70 death. So were his
brother and his two aides, though
his father was allowed to go free
and return to the palace, where he
has ever since been a guest of Presi-
dent Sacasa.
The commotion which followed
is one easy to imagine. Yet, from
all parts of the country came express
sionS of support for President Sa-
casa. who energetically reproved the
''unjustifiable crime" and established
martial law to cope with the emer-
gency.
Loyalty of Armed Forces.
From detailed reports now available
it seems that the prevailing reaction
of the public, far from accepting the
yelled implications conveyed by those
ri cf Of
the news correspondents, was one Of
apprehension for the stability of the
government. 1t was thought, at first,
that the National Guard was in re-
volt against the authorities and that
the elimination of Sandino was only
the first step. These fears have
since been dispelled by the public
statement Of the commander of the
guard who. in the most emphatic
terms, has stressed the loyalty of the
armed forces and their lack of con-
nection with the tragic events Of
February.
1t appears. then, that the assassi-
nation of Sandino was by individual
guardsmen who proceeded for their
own reasons-perhaps personal ven-
geance-and in avowed disregard OF
the orders of their superiors. in which
case the severest punishment should.
and undoubtedly will, be applied to
them. If, on the other hand, the
investigation now in progress re-
veals the slightest completely of the
higher officers of the National Guard.
President Sacasa will be confronted
with a formidable problem. Because
that would confirm the fear that
new plague had set itself upon Mica
ragua, the military caste, which is
often more dangerous and pernicious
than the political sects which it tends
to supersede.
That is, it would show that the ex-
| pertinent of a non-partlsan and all
powerful National Guard had been
successful to such an unfortunate ex-
tent that it had resulted in the Gre
alton of military caste, which con-
| sidered itself strong enough to take
the law into its own hands and to
solve the internal problems of Mica
ragua in its own way.

New Attempt TO Locate

ROME (C.DND.-A new attempt to

~ UDDEN revival on this side Of
the Atlantic of discussion over
the moribund Disarmament
~ Conference-a revival produced
by the Presidents suggestion
of still another non-aggression pact
recalls vividly to mind the comment
an Italian statesman made to me
when that conference was on the
point Of taking its first adjournment
after having come to its initial dead
lock. For all practical purposes, as
most of the delegates admitted-of
the record OF course-that deadlock
was final and unbreakable. In that
situation 1 asked when my friend
thought the conference would accept
the situation as it was and adjourn.
'Oh, never" said he. only the
outbreak of the next war can put an
end to this Disarmament Conference,
for any adjournment without achieve
ment would amount to confession
of the inevitability of that war. We
can't agree and we can't adjourn and
only a war can put US. out OF our
misery"
Now this forecast, which perhaps
seems cynical, has nevertheless proved
itself completely exact. From Febru-
ary, 1882, to the present hour the con-
ference has not made the slightest
progress of any sort because from the
very outset there was not the smallest
chance of discovering basis of agree
ment between a Germany resolved to
rearm up to the French level and a
France determined to retain her
superiority in armament until she was
insured against the danger of re-
armed Germany.
Only Name Remains.
Meantime, however, almost every
one has forgotten the point of de-
parture of the conference itself. For
six years a preparatory commission
had been at work on the subject of
disarmament 1t had never been able
to reach the slightest suggestion of an
agreement but public sentiment in
many countries was becoming impa-
tient. 1t was felt necessary to make
some show at least of recognizing that
sentiment. No progress had been
made in the preparatory commission
but it was assumed that calling gen.
eral conference would suggest pro-
gress in itself.
While the general conference was
called to deal with disarmament, at
the close of two years of discussion,
interrupted by many adjournments,
all that now remains of the original
conference is the name. What Is
actually being considered is the extent
to which the French will agree to
German rearmament and the degree
to which the Germans will consent
to the drawing out of that process,
Mussolini, with that admirable gilt
of realistic thinking which charac-
terizes him, has recognized the two
major facts that France will not dis
arm and that Germany will rearm'
Neither fact is particularly pleasing
to him because 1t leaves France for
the present superior in armaments to
Italy and insures that soon Germany
will be similarly superior. But he
says quite simply that the time has
come to recognize facts. The dis
armament conference Is dead because
disarmament is dead, the League Of
Nations is out of the picture because
the Disarmament Conference, follow
ing the Manchurian episode, has de-
stroyed its prestige and shattered ii
moral influence.
What the Duce thinks Is still pos
