NEW YORK, August 17.-With a
piece of tweed for "her boy, Franklin, 4"
Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt, mother
of the President, returned yesterday
from a two-month trip to Europe.
"I want him to make 1t up into a
suit" she said as the liner lie de
France came up the bay. IT bought
it in Scotland and it's a bargain. 1t
cost just f5, but it's splendid tweed. "
She also brought her son flrst-hand
news that England and France are
strong for him.
That's why they made such fuss
over me-" she chuckled.
Did she know she had been hailed
as "the greatest hit in Paris since
Lindbergh" and "the most effective
goodwill ambassador this country
has sent to Great Britain?"
MY, my! Did the papers say
that?" the Presidents mother asked.
"It takes the newspapers to say nice
things"
The radiant 78-year-old lady re-
ceived reporters in her state room
after 20-minute delay. Her secre-
tary sent word she had slept late.
The partly-opened door revealed q
breakfast tray and CHEEKY figure in
a white-furred dressing gown
Later, in shiny black straw hat
and black and white print dress, she
came forward to greet her inter-
viewers.
I'm in fine health and have had
good rest" she began, after finding
seats for several. I've said every
thing else already.
"You see, I was travelling as a pri-
vate citizen. I went mainly to be
with my nephew and niece, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Fellowes Gordon, in

order to obtain the military co-opera-
ton of the many allies.
The lack of craftsmanship Of the
delegates of the allies at Versailles i.
attributed to a great extent to the
modern means of communications.
As long as governments had to
send representatives to a confer
ence without being able to remain
in daily touch Dith them, real
statesmen luere entrusted Uith the
delicate mission OF negotiating an
important treaty. They ,Dere men
OF Dision, those diplomats OF the
early 18th century, Tallyond, Met
ternich, C1stleredgh and Humboldt.
But when by the means of tele-
phones, wireless and airplanes the
governments can keep in close con-
tact with their delegates-when in
stead of taking three weeks to get a
report to Washington and another
three weeks to get reply, all one
receiver and obtain immediate con-
nection, there is no longer a need
for skillful diplomats with full powers
The present diplomats at con-
ference are nothing more than super
lative messengers who have no more
initiative than an Office boy. Every
little detail must be submitted to the
central government and frequently
decisions are taken under the impulse
Of passion and popular sentiment
And public sentiment never has the
cold-blooded objective judgment Of
the experienced statesman.

INDIAN RUNNERS
co HOME BY BUS
TuscaroraS See All Sights
in Capital, but Rain
SpoiIS Ball Game.

The Tlscarora braves who ran o
relay race to Washington with an in=
vitation to President Roosevelt were
en- route today to their home in Fort
Niagara, N. Y, travelling by bus.
They had delivered their invitation
to attend the Four Nations celebra-
ton at Fort Niagara next month: they
had shaken hands with the President
and they had seen the sights OF the
Capital.
One thing they failed TO do, how
ever. was to see their namesakeS, the
Cleveland Indians, engage the Ma
tionals in double header at Griffith
Stadium yesterday.
Watch Rain GIumIy.
Too much rain fell. The would-be
fans watched the downpour from their
rooms at the Willard Hotel and dis
appointment was written all over their
otherwise impaSsive countenances.
1t was the noble red man who
whooped and shouted and smote his
neighbor's Shins at Americas first ball
game, and the Tuscaroras' sporting
blood is an honest inheritance. Even
young Long Time Sleep felt the call
to the grandstand
But 1t rained. and then rained some
more. The picture shows on F. street
offered an alternative. But the In
dams were glum-every man in the
crowd had seen a picture show.
Chat With Collier.
The Indians spent yesterday chat
ting over tribal affairs with Indian
Commissioner John Collier. They
saw the Monument and other con-
ventional places, and spent hours
pouring over the accessories of their
forefathers at the Smithsonian In
stitution. Some of them acted as II
they had never seen an arrow head
before.
The braves and their press agent,
Lee Trenholm. loaded into their bus
shortly after breakfast this morning.

before he fully RECEIVERS his strength.
"A note was hung over his table,
dated June Is, referring to letters
he had written to various people
and where the letters could be found.
Even thinking the tractor would ar
rive too late he had written us q
note which he had left on the table,
but which he put out Of sight when
we entered the shack.
II marvel at how complete a set of
scientific data he has obtained and
how painstaking he has been with it..
Communication Difficult.
Radio conversations with the ad-
vance base, 1913 miles to the south
are still limited because a small trial
set used for communication must be
cranked and many messages on ex-
pedition business have to be passed.
Meteorological observations are be-
ing continued at the post by Poulter
DR.. Poulter said after Admiral Byrd
became i'll he spent most Of the time
in his sleeping bag, but was forced to
leave it at intervals to gather data
from his instruments. His principal
food was powdered milk and canned
vegetables.
Occasionally he ate seal meat OF
beef, which had frozen hard. 1t tool
him hours to eat enough meat to give
him nourishment, DR.. Poulter ex'
planned.
While Byrd was Ill, Poulter re-
vealed, it took him hours to complete
the simplest tasks and he was taxeC

LONDON, August 1.-THE United
States was tentatively allocated a
l934-35 wheat export quota of 10000
600 bushels by the international
Wheat Conference today, the Asso-
ciated Press was informed by an OFF,
cial source.
Argentina's export quota was placed
at 15o,ooo,0oO bushels, this source
added
The low figure set for the United
States was a startling one to OBJ
servers, although it was known she
was willing to accept a considerable
reduction because of the drought.
What figures were allocated to Can
ada and Australia, the worlds two
other largest producers. could not be
learned definitely. 1t was reliably re-
ported, however, that Canadas would
be about 27O ZOO, 900 bushels and Aus
tralias about 14o,0O0,000 bushels.
Should the idea of quarterly adjust
ments of quotas be adopted, yearly
quotas would probably have to remain
Of a tentative character, it was ex-
planned.
New wheat is to be given preference
over old stocks in the ALLEGATION OF
quotas. This explanation was made
for the small figure offered the United
States, despite the huge American
surpluses at hand.

The thoughts Of these students 60
back 100 years to the congress Of
Vienna which was held after the
Napoleonic wars. There Is q great
similarity between these wars and the
World War.
The dpotDed purpose of the codH-
tion which fought Napoleon tDds
to get rid of Frances ruler. The
allies then declared that they tDere
not fighting the French people but
their leader.
The World War had, officially, the
same purpose. The Allies did not
fight the German people, but the
Kaiser. In both cases the Allies sue
ceeded in getting rid Of the man who
caused the calamity.
Reich Not Given Fair Chance.
But, while after the Napoleonic
wars, the Allies gave France fair
chance, discussing peace conditions
with the French delegates at the
Vienna round table, at Versailles the
Germans were presented with peace
condition discussed and settled by the
Allies alone. They were shown q
document with the request to sign
on the dotted line. It was a take
it or leave it" proposition.
At the Vienna conference in 1914,
the statesmen there gathered were
men Of vision. They realized that
once the war over, they would have
to apply themselves to heal the eco
nomic wounds which Is years of
struggle had inflicted upon every ma
tion-defeated or victorious. They
were willing to help France get back
on its feet.
No such thought eristed at Ver-
sdilles. Quite the contrary. The
delegates of the pictortous nations
killed the only league OF nations
Which actually ertsted in Europe
the Austrian Empire.
While nationally Austria tras not
unit, it tDds Without doubt an
important economic entity tDhich
serUed the useful purpose of being
the clearing house - economically
and intellectudlly-bettOeen West
ern and Eastern Europe. Before
the tcdr it tDds frequently stated
that il Austria did not erist, 1t
mould haze to be inuented.
Nobody at Versailles bothered what
would happen to the world If Ger
many was ruined economically, OF
/ what would be the results II Austria
was reduced to a small country, with
out the possibility of continuing as
an independent state. The foremost
] thought in the minds Of the peace
. delegates was to live up to political
bargains which had been reached in

French Girl Drops

NEW YORK, August 17.-Gina

place Lily Damita in Sons of

n VOW that there is a lull in
M Europe, students of interna-
VI tional affairs begin to wonder
L why, after the 1914-19l8
massacre, people are still
talking war, and why has the world
not settled down to heal its wounds
instead of trying to inflict new ones.
There have been so many pactS
and treaties, such as the Locarno
pact, the Paris pact nd many other
minor ones, to prevent another folly.
Yet nobody seems to take them
seriously. Why all that? Some think
the answer can be found in the
fundamental errors of the Versailles
treaty, which, instead Of bringing
about a relaxation of hatreds, has
only increased them in the post war
period.

in 1910. From 1920 to 1888, they
averaged around 180,000,000 bushels.
They fell to a record low Of about
$4,000, 900 bushels last year, most OF
1t exported under Government sub
sidy.
Cattle Purchases.
Out of 67,S52,OOO cattle in the
country, the Government plans to
buy 100000 and of the 51,374,000
sheep and goats it will own 100000
before Winter is over.
Purchases Of more than 5000, 900
head of cattle already have jammed
stockyards and packing plants.
With sheep buying to begin soon
the Government is having difficulty
contracting for facilities to handle its
animals.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics will issue next week a report
on the live stock feed supply. After
that, a committee on the distribution
and use of feed supplies viii assume
active administration of them.
Secretary wallace said yesterday he
considered 1t unlikely that the admin
istration would be called on to aban-
don its processing taxes to curb food
prices.
May Affect A. A. A.
Wallace reiterated, however, that
the Government had a big stick ready
for profiteers.
The farm chieftains have known
all along that their reduction pro-
grams would cause food prices to go
up. They wanted a gradual rise and
figured that increasing employment
resulting from more farm purchasing
power would pacify the average urban
dweller.
The dry spell upset calculations and
the consumer may have to meet
sharply hoisted food costs without the
benefits contemplated. That might
make the A. A. A. very unpopular and
have an effect upon the entire ad-
ministration program.
Consequently, the emphasis on keep
ing food prices from unwarranted as
tensions. The Farm Administration
hopes, too. that relief and higher
prices In the areas where crops are
good will Offset in large measure the
drought devastation.

SHE ISN'T NEWS

The world may be interested in what
President Roosevelt, King George and
other notables did on Christmas day, but
we do not believe there is any such inter
est concerning the activities of little
Gloria Vanderbilt, and they have been
eliminated from today's news dispatch
eS.
This child has been dragged into
enough notoriety for one of her age
through the squabble between her moth
er and her aunt for her custody, with all
the attendant publicity which the court
trial to decide such custody caused
Certainly the kindest attitude the pub
lie in general, and newspapers in partic-
ular, could take toward this child is to
let her alone. Her family and the wealth
which is hers are sufficient handicaps
without subiecting her to the headlines
for every move she makes.
We cannot see where she is news The
accident of birth has placed her in what
we term our best circles although the
title is open to considerable argument
Aside from that she has done nothing
and nothing really has happened to her
to make her a world or even national
figure. She just happens to be unfortun-
ate enough to be a poor little rich girl
Now comes the period of smoking
Christmas cigars and wearing Christmas
neckties.
Christmas is behind us and ahead lies
its bills.
And who cares about that?
Christmas set two records-heavy buy
ing and heavy death toll.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND DILLY'S
DOLL

One of the Christmas presents
that came to Uncle Wiggily's hol-

doll. The doll for Dilly, one OF
Uncle Wiggily's little rabbit girls
Dilly had many other Christmas
presents, but best of all she loved
her doll.
Its the incest doll I ever hadr'
said Dilly. e$

said Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy
Don't leave your doll on the floor
where I'll step on her, Dilly, my
dear"
"As if I'd leave my lovely doll on
the floor!" said Dilly. I'D never do
such thing"
ct hope not" said Nurse Jane
What is your dolls name, DillyP'
I'm going to call her Rose, . Dilly
answered, because her cheeks are
like two roses"
That's nice name" said Nurse
UdilC. 1llOCCQ, IhOOC StAN AOOh AhN
the name Dilly had given her. She
had pink cheeks like roses, she had
blue eyes like the sky and she was
a beautiful doll. She came all dress
ed from Santa Claus, SO all Dilly
had to to take her Christmas doll
out was to put her in a little car
riage and wheel her.
Go for a Walk
This Dilly did the day after
Christmas. The little rabbit girl
wrapped Rose in warm blanket,
put her in the carriage and then
said to Uncle Wiggily:
Daddy, will you please come for
walk with me and my dollP"
"Of course will, Dilly," answered
the rabbit gentleman. And when !
am walking and hopping with you
and Rose I may have an adventure. y
DiIly carefully wheeled her doll in
