including the United States, at an
important conference during 1885.
The other nations are England,
Belgium, France, Italy, Japan and
Portugal. The date and place Of the
conference have not yet been fixed.
The meeting is to revise the con-
vention of St. Germain of September
10, 1919, which established complete
commercial equality among these ma
tions with regard to the territories
constituting the basin of the Kongo
and its tributaries in the heart Of
Africa.
Many States Included.
This is the principle of the open
door applied TO Africa.
In the territory are included part
of Italian Somaliland, Zanzibar,
Kenya and Uganda, Nyasaland. Por-
tuguese East Africa. Mozambique, part
of North Rhodesia, Belgian Kongo,
part of Angola. Middle Kongo,
Cubangui- -Chari and Chad. 1t was
this land that the famous British
explorer Stanley revealed to the world.
Here is a practical paradise" Of
cotton, rubber, coffee, cocoa, sugar
cane and bananas. Beneath lie rich
deposits of iron, copper, gold and
diamonds.
Disputes Arise.
Kenya and Uganda would like to
see the abolition of the equal duties
and their substitution with preferen-
tial tariffs. Other states want to
see the continuance OF the present
system.
Italy, which only now is developing
her market in the Kongo region, Is
going to protest strongly against any
move which would seek to split up
the Kongo territory into CONNER
cially exclusive regions
Japan, which is making a formida-
BILE penetration in Africa, will like
wise protest. Whatever may be her
attitude toward the open door in
the Far East, she will insist on keep
ing the portal open in the Kongo.
There is some probability of Ger

Garcia's son has come from Mexico
to search for the original message
to Garcia" which he believes Is lost
in Washington, although the man who
carried the famous message says it
was verbal.
Carlos Garcia velez, e7-year-old
son Of Gen. Calixto Garciauto, to
whom the original message was de-
hvered by Lieut.. Andrew Rowan at
Bayamo, in Eastern Cuba in 1898,
says that the message is in a maze of
historical documents stored at the
Cuban Embassy.
Can't Find Message.
But he cannot find it, he explained
yesterday.
The jovial diplomat recalled that
the message was a brief note from
Secretary of War Alger to his Gar
cia's) father advising him of the
United States decision to land forces
in Cuba, and inquiring as to ports of
debarkation.
Garcia, now Cuban Ambassador to
Mexico, received the famous message
from Rowan and passed it on to his
father for reply. He said the reply
q copy of which he also has but can
not find at the moment, is drafted in
the younger Garcia's handwriting.
Inspired Hubbard.
The Spanish were desperately anx-
ious to capture the messenger, but
the ofncer slipped into the island,
accomplished his mission, and escaped
from the northern side Of Cuba.

The Government will have the
laugh on the court anyway, even If
the decision goes against it.
The gold law may be held invalid,
but the anti-hoarding law will still
stand. It is not involved in current
cases.
All the Government will have to do
in event of an adverse decision is to
pay off you bondholders in gold with
one hand and take the gold away from
you with the other under the anti
boarding edict.
Oil Alarm Held Unjustified.
The legal brain trust has thumbed
through the oil decision and decided
its initial inner alarm about that case
was unjustified. At first some thought
1t might kill the N. r. A., A. A. A. and
even the lump-sum relief appropriation
which Mr.. Roosevelt has now requested
Of Congress.
The New Deal legalites decided,
however, that the court hedged the
decision with so many peculiarities of
oil control that it means nothing else.
Most non-partisan lawyers are in
clined to agree. The sum total of it
seems to be that Congress did not
sufficiently limit the oil authority 1t
delegated to the President, but that is
no reason to believe the N. r. A., A. A.
A.. ct al. are not sufficiently limited.
LaUyers are referring among
themselves to the arguments of At
torney General Cummings In the
gold case as political speeches."
This implies no criticism OF Cum
mings, but means he had no good
legal ground and therefore had to
argue from the standpoint OF
political necessity.
The biggest laugh in the case was

What's What

Supreme Court Held
Likely to Back New
Deal on Gold.
BY PAUL MALLON.

THERE is all-absorbing gossip in
the upper strata now about
whether the Supreme Court
L is going to wreck the New
Deal.
President Roosevelt managed to
emit a more or less hearty imitation
Of laugh the other day when asked
if he had considered the possibility
that the court might knock out his
gold policy. That was the only an
swer he gave.
However. the pointed questions
asked by Chief Justice Hughes in the
gold case hearings and the court de-
cision against the Ickes oil control
frightened all the New Deal lawyers
out of their wits. They have been
scurrying around for days to get a
line on the court so they will know
what to expect.
Their private and unofficial report
has undoubtedly reached Mr.. Roose-
velts ear by this time It is to the
effect that the New Deal has nothing
to fear.

it you 90 by the questions asked by
the justices in open court. Under
this lineup the final decision 1uould
rest iCith Justice Roberts, uho is
classified as non-committal.
That may be correct, but the fac
is that the we'll informed here art
betting 10 to tina. q majority Of
the court will hold with the New
Deal. Three justices asked no ques:
tions. Brandeis, Cardoza and
Roberts. Also the questions of JUS
tice Stone were not revealing.
The truth Is you cannot 60 by
their questions. Any one acquainted
with court practice knows that the
justices frequently, if not usually
ask questions to develop the ultimate
argument of the side which they are
really against.
Hughes Implication Noted.
What has started every one buzzing
Is the implication in questions by
Chief Justice Hughes that he might
consider going off the gold standard
as legal, but might not accept re-
pudiation of private gold bonds. In
other words, Mr.. Roosevelt may have
had the right to change the money
base, but no right to repudiate the
promise made by corporations to pay
their bondholderS in gold.
It is a neat distinction, but the
boys are probably all steamed up
about it for nothing. As practical
matter, the distinction can hardly be
made.
A $1,000 Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road gold bond, for instance. is still
North a 81 900 bill. The only actual
change in its worth is in how
much it ,0iH buy. Not necessarily
in gold, but in food and clothing.
All the bondholder could reasona bly,
expect is to be paid the very small
difference in the purchasing power
of his bond before and after Not
the $169 for every 81 as the lawyers
have contended.
But even that does not hold be-
cause no one can prove that Mr.
Roosevelt's gold action was responsible
entirely for the change in prices.

Go up to 10 lawyers who heard the
recent court arguments. Nine will tell
you they believe the New Deal gold
action was unconstitutional They
will add Immediately that if they were
members of the court today they
would nevertheless uphold it.
The fact is the main section of the
Constitution has not been put on
paper. 1t is the rule of reason.
Few judges anywhere will hold
painfully to the letter of the law If
it will cause injustice. Also few will
be inclined to interpret the Constitu-
