The United States is willing t,

Morgenthau said the nation wa!

BITTER DEBATE

Postoffice Committee Sees
insufficient Edivence
to Back Charges
BAILEY FLAYS THE
LOUISIANA SENATOR

WASHINGTON, May ID. (UP)
The senate today rejected Huey
Longs demand for an investiga-
ton Of Postmaster General James
A. Farley by vote of 62 to 20.
The action came after more
than a day of violent debate.
In refusing Longs demand, the
senate followed the recommends
ton of its post office committee
which reported Long had failed to
convince the committee of suffi-
cient evidence to back up his
charges.
WASHINGTON, May ID. (UP)
Senator Huey P. Long, DEM, La.
, charged during lengthy and heat
| ed debate in the senate yesterday
! that important. documents had
been stolen from his office since
he began his fight to force a con-
gressional Investigation of the ac-
tivities of Postmaster General Jas.
A. Farley. 49,.
He told the amazed senator's
also that Farley had seized and
censored data gathered by federal
investigators on the cabinet min
ister's activities, before the infor-
nation was forwared to Capitol
Hill at the request of the senate.
The startling disclosures were
made as the senate considered
Longs resolution to investigate
Farley. The resolution has been
reported adversely by the post
office committee. Long charges
that Farley used his high office to
manipulate federal contracts for
the benefit Of private companies
in which he was financially inter-
ested.
Two of the companies named by
Long are the James Stewart and
Co., and the General Builders and
Supply Co., both of New York.
A surprise move by Long, de-
signed to sway the senate in favor
of his resolution, provoked acrl-
monious debate. The Louisiana
Democrat, suddenly offered a copy
of an affidavit signed by Miss
Helen Humphreys, Long Island,
N. Y, former 'employe of the
James Stewart Co., purporting TO
deal with Farley's alleged associa-
ton with that company.
After Long made the charge,
Senator Josiah w. Bailey, DEM,
N. c., a personal and political foe
of the Kingfsh, led the admins
tration counter-attack. He ac-
cused Long of seeking "to asperse
the character and compromise the
integrity of President Roosevelt
Bailey, in replying to the King
fish. said Long "is the only ac-
cuser and he spreads his accuse,
tions from day to day." He said
the post office committee received
no names Of witnesses to conhrm
Longs charges. =,
"To pass this resolution would
he to set a precedent" he said.
"And the consequence of that
| precedent would be to establish q
Kingfishery in the United States.
Deploring Longs tactics in at
lacking Mr.. Roosevelt, Bailey said:
"He is not true to his country VINO

Italy, regretting Rome had failed

The note also repeated Abys-

the scope of terms of settlement

Abyssinia pointed out that if
Italy excludes an Interpretation Of

Italian Somaliland from the "terms
of reference" to the commission,
or insists on restricting the emper-
or's choice of arbitrators for
Abyssinia to Philippians, then al

many increases as decreases the bank
reported. Farm income from the

per cent smaller In March than In

crease was due entirely to the small

ception since January. 1882, the ad-

StreSa. Italy. April lS.-(R)-A de-
termined unity among the three great
western European powers was seen in
conference circles Monday as the most
significant contribution to peace re-
sulting from the tripartite CONVERSE
tions Of Great Britain, France and
italy. :.
Six points OF agreement were listed
In communique issued after the
meetings closed:
I. A common line Of conduct" on
the French appeal to the League Of
Nations council for consideration Of
0ermany'S rea-mament moves.
2. Pursuance Of negotiations for
the development which Is desired In
the security Of eastern Europe"
3. Consultation In case Of q threat

Austria and the s,immoning Of q con-
ference at Rome to conclude q Danu-
bian accord.
I. Further study looking toward
completion Of the western European
defensive cir pcct.

5. Recognition that Germany's uni
lateral abrogation Of the military
clauses Of the treaty Of Versailles had
undermined public confidence In the
security Of peaceful order" and reaf-
firmation Of their desire to work for
an international agreement on limit
alton Of armaments.
8. Recommendation to the states af-
fected that they consider the desires
Of Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria for
increased arm2ments.
Although disappointment was voiced
In some quarters that the discussions
had produced no more concrete
achievements, those who viewed the
efforts with satisfaction pointed out
that broader undertakings were Inn
possible without the participation Of
Germany.
The opinion was general, as the
focal point Of the diplomatic groupings
for European stability moved from
Stresa to Geneva, that the panic Of
war" had been largely dispelled by the
developments of the last few days.
Re-affirm Locarno Treaty
There was appended to the joint
communique In Anglo Italian declara-
ton In which the two nations reaf-
firmed their support for the Locarno
treaty. signed on the shores Of Lake

to guarantee the existing frontiers Of
western Europe.
Invitations were dispatched to the
governments Of Germany, Czechoslo-
vakia, Hungary, Rumania, Yugoslavia.
Poland and Austria to participate In
the Danubian conference ct Rome the

In Berlin, Wilhelmstrasse circles
gave close attention TO the tri-power
declaration that the method Of uni
lateral reputation adopted by the
German government when steps were
being taken to promote . freely nego-
tiated settlement on the question Of
ornaments had undermined public
confidence In security Of peaceful
order"
