BY ROBERT CRAWFORD.

Mr.. Henry P. Fletcher, chairman Of
the Republican National Committee,
has issued clarion call for all good
men to come to the help of the party
on December l6. in the City of Wash
ington, 1885, and obviously from
the roster of names outstanding in
the financial and industrial life Of
the country, to bring their pocket
books with them, and assist him in
deviSng ways and means for financ-
inF the coming 1886 presidential
campaign and general elections,
against what he emphasizes as the
3alien doctrines and maladministra-
Hion of the New Deal"
The 16 induStrialists, lawyers and
bankers, headed by Mr.. William B.
Bell, president of the American Cyana-
mid Co.-of which Mr.. Lewis Douglas,
former director of the budget, under
dent-have, among other matters on
which to decide. when and where the
national convention is to be held
whether in Chicago-Col. Knox
Kansas City, near to Gov. Landon
of Kansas. or farther west, to be in
touch more closely with the gentle
men in the Far West who are flirting
with the nomination.
So far as known, Mr.. Douglas has
not been invited and there are nc
prominent women of the party on the
list. This, however, cuts no ice with
them, for during the past two years
or longer they have been getting ready
for the 1896 campaign and are thor
oughly organized and are daily dem
onstrating their ability to handle
their part Of the situation.
Mr.. Fletcher makes it plain that
most of the men on the list have
never before participated actively in
politics. but are vitality concerned
over the welfare of their country
The list includes Mr.. Sewell L. Avery
president and chairman of the great
mail order house of Montgomery
Ward & Co.; Mr.. Joseph N. Pew, vice
president, Sun Oil Co.: Mr.. A. w
Robertson, chairman of board. West
inghouse Electric e. Manufacturing
Co; Mr.. Ernest T. Weir, chairman
of board, National Steel Co., and
others.
Well, whether or not any women
have been invited, Representative
Edith Nourse Rogers is leaving nc
stone unturned in putting the issues
of the coming campaign squarely be-
fore the citizens of her State.
She is somewhat of a flying far
and has distinct preference for tax
ing the air route because it conserve'
time when she is on official errand:
connected with her district. She came
down to Washington by train las
week, but when she arrived she flew
to the White House-figuratively
speaking-in order to catch the Presi
dent on the wing, as she knew HI
was leaving shortly for Georgia, anc
she is terribly perturbed over The
Roosevelt-King tariff agreement which
she feels would materially affect no
only a large number of her constitu.
ents in Massachusetts,, but business ir
other parts of New England as well.
Mrs. Rogers did not see the Presi-
dent-he was doubtless head over ears
in the budget, but she did see the
affable, diplomatic Kentucky colonel
Mr.. Marvin H. Mcintyre, and to him
she protested that the reciprocal trade
agreement between the United States
and Canada would have most dev-
sstating effect upon the New England
fisheries, lumber industries. paper

terials. The colonel-by the way. wher

again became a pattern for design, as
shown in some of the silks at the
museum.
In the Romance of Design" the
authors relate in an interesting way
how the climate played an important
part in mans early development, for
with the new Stone Age the glaciers
had retreated and the fur animals
became unnecessary as clothes. SO
did necessity become the mother OF
weaving, which in manner was the
mother of textual design ITSELF"
Twigs and grass were no longer woven
for clothes How the poverty OF
Edward III affected weaving in Eng
land is told by a monk: Blessed be
the memory of King Edward III and
Philippa of Hainault. his Queen, who
first invented clothes old monk
ish chronicler may have been a little
too worshipful of the abilities OF his
sovereigns, in saying that they org
mated clothes, but at any rate the
King and Queen are said to be un-
ouestionably responsible for the re-
birth Of weaving in England.
In the exhibit at the museum are
examples OF patterns used in the ear
liest times and in Colonial days In
America by Martha Washington
George Washington, and other quality
of the time. and in some OF the silks
and crepes there are scenes of Mount
Vernon. and the articles of household
use there, such as candlestlcks, hour-

the old gardens, all on background

to Virginia in 1907, he was amazed
at the Indian arts in weaving and de-

small cyclone had struck the execu-
tive ofices, for Mrs. Rogers. although
small in size, has a most dynamic way
of expressing herself when 1t comes to
matters affecting her beloved New
England, and it's said she let the
colonel have it straight from the
shoulder.
Notwithstanding she was educated
in Paris and other parts of Europe,
she prides herself on being a 22-carat
Yankee-and with heart Of gold, as
one of her constituents recently ex-
pressed it, when speaking of her deep
concern over the plight of the fisher
men who have sailed rough seas dur
ing the depression, finding it hard to
keep going against the tide. In her
protest to Mr.. Mcintyre, against the
reduced tariff rates, she doubtless said
a mouthful, as one of her strong dis
likes is against written speeches-she
does not like ghost writer's and is
sometimes a sore trial to her Secre-
taries when they have gathered facts
and figures on the subject she is to
speak about. then added what they
consider appropriate remarks, to find
that Mrs. Rogers has kept to the facts
and figures, but has calmly put the
written speech aside and said what
she had to say in her own way
The Massachusetts Representative
has also a rather original way of
keeping in touch with the people of
her district-about 350,000-and on
off years sends post card to each one
in the place which she is going to
visit, advising them of the time and
place of meeting and inviting them to
see her and talk over the things in
which they are personally interested
and in which she may be able to
help them.
Her private secretary or some resi-
dent of the neighborhood meets every
one at the door, takes their name, ad-
dress and occupation and the ques-
tions they wish to ask Mrs. Rogers.
She looks over these and the inter-
views begin. Her mail is perhaps
larger than that of any other woman
in Congress, as her long connection
with problems affecting disabled vet
Grams of the World War causes vet
Grams, their wives and families, from
all parts of The United States, to
write her. Some of this mail Is
heart breaking, and they all seem to
have an abiding faith in her ability
to help them.
Speaking of textiles and the Roose-
velt-King reciprocal tariff agreement
and its effect on American goods led
to a visit to the textile section in the
old National Museum, where Amer
ican- manufactured velvets, silks and
tapestries, as we'll as cotton fabrics, are
exhibited. Instead of hurried study
of the beautiful silks and velvets, three
hours we're spent in the division. and
that led to reading that beautifully
illustrated book by Garnet Warren
and Horace B. Cheney, The Romance
of Design"
The frontispiece in this book-which

The conversations are, obviously,
of a deeply confidential nature, but
there is evidence which illustrates
their trend. fort seems to be the
case that an effort is being made to
bring about an understanding" be-
tween Germany and France. and to
gradually widen such understanding"
into something very much like an
alliance.
would naturally include Poland which
is already an ally of France and
which also has a friendship and nom
aggression treaty with Germany 1t
would mean. too. that France would
denOunce her more or less formal
alliance with Soviet Russia. and
would join Hitler in his feeble fight
against what he terms communism.
There is not as yet any such
Franco-German-Polish alliance. but
there is no reason to doubt that one
is being discussed, and that the con-
versations now in progress may bring
about an entirely new constellation
in continental Europe.
Japanese Expansion.
One of Mussolini's strongest talking
points in the present crisis is his
claim that the League of Nations, now
apparently so deeply interested in his
invasion of Ethiopia. did nothing to
prevent Japan from swallowing up
Manchuria few years ago. The Ital-
ian argument is one of the very dan
gerous results of League inactivity in
1882; another is Japans onward
march on Chinese territory.
Last week Japan served notice upon
the Chinese government that it must
consent to the creation of a socalled
self-governed state in five North Chi
being, of course, that such a state
was to become Japanese protector
ate. China demurred, and asked for
little time. Surprisingly, that was
granted, probably because of pressure
on the Tokyo government by the wes-
tern powers.
But just as the world was beginning
to feel at ease concerning the Asiatic
situation. the war lord of the North
Chinese province of Hopei proclaimed
that territOry's independence of
China. and declared that henceforth
he would cooperate with Japan. The
conclusion was inevitable that Japan
had been busy back-stage. and that
Hopei's secession was merely the pre-
Jude to the greater drama of four
other north Chinese provinces becom-
ing absorbed by the Island Empire.
Plausible is the view that if the
League of Nations had stepped in
when Japan took Manchuria, Italy
would not have dared start a war
against Ethiopia, and Japan would
not now have dared carve out a new,
big slice of China and, more or less
formally, place it under the flag of
the rising sun.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page -

The committee, which has power
to act, at once accommodated Mon
sieur Laval and did-nothing.
So that, correctly speaking, the ma
lions which had agreed to stop the
Italian aggressive war, are practi-
cally lengthening it; are, in other
words. supporting Italy by giving that
country every opportunity of supply
ing itself with oil, coal and steel with
out which it would be impossible for
Mussolini and his soldiers to carry on.
Hostile Comment.
The United States. not member of
the League, has no power to stop
expectation of oil and other commod-
tiles to Italy, but the government at
Washington has done the next best
thing. for it has suggested-and sug-
gested with considerable emphasis
to oil producers and shippers the de-
STABILITY of stopping all expectation
of oil to both belligerent countries.
Since Ethiopia is not a buyer of Amer
lean oil, the intent is obvious: 1t is
really tacit support of the general
League sanctions-and a step ahead
of them. This American attitude has
evoked a good deal of hostile COM
ment in the Italian press. and an
American tourist party has been
molested by an excited mob at the
city of Padua.
1t may be that majority of those
who are following events consider the
action of the Washington government
a very wise one.
The War.
In Ethiopia the war goes on, but
with no great speed. The Italians are
holding their positions in the north
and in the southeast. but they do not
seem to make any real progress. APP
parently, they are amazed at the stub
born resistance offered by the Eth
opians. and many of their most siren
uous efforts fail because of downpours
of rain wholly unlocked for at this
time of the year. and because they
must fight their way through endless
deserts, across mountains and through
treacherous passes where Ethiopians
lie in ambush. Now and then a tri-
umphant announcement of victory is
made only to be denied within a few
hours by the Ethiopians and, on the
other hand. as often as the Philippians
claim small victory. the Italians are
ready with a statement to the effect
that the EthiOpianS are not telling
the truth.
Nobody is. in this war And that
is the reason why one can form mere
ly a general picture of the arena of
the war Sufficient is known to real
ize that Italy has not yet accom-
plished a very great deal. and that
the conquest of Ethiopia is almost as
far off as it was when the fascist
invasion started fifty-seven days ago.
Conversations.
On the diplomatic front it is not
only the Italo-Ethiopian war and the
problem of sanctions that are Of i'm
portance: it is also a series of con-
proceeding between French
and German statesmen-informal ne
gotiations which now have reached
the point where the French ambassa-
dor in Berlin carries on discussions
with Adolf Hitler, head of the Ger
man government. and where the Ger
man ambassador in Paris talks to
President Lebrun and Premier Laval.
