NAPOLEON ONCE
LAUNCHED BOLT
FROM STRESA

STRESA, Italy, April II O.N.S.)
StreSa, drowSy little Alpine lake
resort town, whose once important
role in history Is all but forgotten
today mushroomed once more into
a great world capital for a few
days.
Here Napoleon, century and a
half ago, mapped out his plans for
the battle Of Marengo in his italian
campaign in the very room in the
Borromeo palace where diplomats
Of France, Italy and Britain met
today to talk peace. Premier Mus
Solini sleeps in Napoleon's room
and the music salon echoes to the
ghost-footSteps Of Josephine.
SRaStika Emblem Absent
Stresa's 1000 population has
risen for the weekend to 10000
diplomats. secretaries, reporters,
soldiers. The town Of red-roofted
cottages and villas is gayer still
with the flags of the three ma.
tiuns-the swaStika notably absent.
It takes a large map to locate
Stresa, but Lake Maggiore, stretch
ing its sinuous so miles among
Snow-clad peaks, is used to great
men that come and go. Here now
are Mussolini, Macdonald and
Flandin.
Mussolini of those three was
the only one present a decade ago
when, on the northern tip Of the
lake, where it stretches up across
the Swiss border, the great men
Of Europe-including Germany's
Stresemann-signed the Locarno
pact.
Stresa was conveniently situated
for the military purposes of Napo.
leon-just down from the great
Simplon Pass through the Alps
and equally convenient for Musso-
lini'S diplomatic purpose, for the
railway now runs through Sim
plon Pass, and the main line from
France curves through Stresa.
Palace on Island
The noble house Of Borromeo
owns a group of little islands
out in the lake off Stresa. On
the largest, ISola Bella, is the
Borromeo Palace, scene of the
conference, and Borromeo Hotel,
where the French and British
delegates are housed.
All along the little niers IN
the CorSo Umberto Primo, be-
tagged boats were constantly
arriving or leaving, enjoying
their busiest trade ever, ferrying
diplomats and reporters from
mainland to island.
Early next week the town will
settle back to look for the usual
seasons trade in tourists, for
another lake, Geneva, will draw
the diplomats April IS. But
StreSa will rejoice in new prestige.

NEW SECURITIES

WAR BONDS
International News Service

An indication the Government
will announce an offering of long.
trem securities dated May Is, in
exchange for called First Liberty
bonds amounting to 1900 million
dollars, was given here today.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau said there would be no
financing announced before April
81. He made it clear, however,
that this did not preclude the
issuance of a call for the retire
ment of the ~ per cent Fourth
Liberty bonds outstanding in the
amount of 1900 million dollars.
The expectation is that the
bonds will be called for retire
ment october Is, and that an
nouncement of the call will be
made next Monday. When the
Fourths are called, all of the war
time bonds and most of the gold
clause bonds will have been called
or retired.
On April Is, about 800 million
dollars of Fourth Liberties called
for that date will be paid off in
cash. Last october the Treasury
called 1850 million dollars Of the
Fourth Liberties, of which more
than $500 millions were re.
financed into two and seven
Fights per cent bonds.
Aside from the raising of funds
through weekly bill issues, the
Treasury is planning no call for
new money before June IS. It
was believed that the current cash
balance of around 2,460 million
dollars would serve the cash pur.
poses Of the Government under
the recovery program until the
middle of June.
