LONDON, october /. - Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, told the opening session Of
the International Parliamentary Com
mercial Conference today that "in the
present tense condition of affairs in
Europe, even the most tentative APP
proach to sterilization is quite un-
thinkable."
The conference, in which more than
200 delegates from 81 nations par
ticipated, opened with the reading Of
a message from King George.
AT the present time, when there
are signs of recovery from economic
crisis, this meeting Is of special i'm
portance," the Kings message said.
1T emphasizes the fact that pros
perity could not be found in isolation.
but by cooperation, and that the adj
vantage of each country could only be
found in the well-being of all"
Chamberlain said: While I look
forward ultimately to re-establish-
ment of the gold standard, I do not
feel that conditions are yet sufficiently
favorable to enable us TO make so diff
ficult an experiment.
Even today we seem little nearer
than nine years ago (the last confer
ence meeting in London) to that at
moSphere Of good will and confidence
among nations so essential if We are
once more to see prosperity return.

Is not that recovery still flags, it Is
rather that In so, many directions We

PeriIOus Mountain

President Jokes About

BY the Associated Press.
LAS VEGAS, New, October l.
President Roosevelt returned to his
special train an hour late last night
after hazardous experience in which
hi. car was forced to turn around on
the edge Of q mountain precipice.
The incident made every one in the
party hold their breaths and I'M

Roosevelt went on. thinking there
would be some place to turn around.
Finally at curve 1t was decided
to make the try. There was a little
cut in the inner wall which provided
more room. The Presidents car
nudged back into this cut and the
10 other cars trailing him were asked
to proceed by. 1t was impossible for
him to pass them on the way down.
Then came the wheeling Of the big
car to make the turn. Mr.. and Mrs.
Roosevelt remained in their seats.
The car was driven straight for the
edge Of the road, below which yawned
q pit with no bottom visible from
the roadside.
Secret service men stood helplessly
by. but trying to remain as near in
front of the car as possible. It
stopped about a foot away from the
edge, backed and then went forward
again. Another backing and it was

The troubles of new dealing here
are just about the same as in every
other section of the country-only
more so. There is, for instance, the
unpublished yarn about the farmer in
Siskiyou County. He was one of those
farmers who never had time to count
his pigs, but just let them grow fat
and fast. A county agent came
around and counted them, finding
that the farmer had 152 too many.
The farmer agreed that these 152
extras would have to be eliminated.
He suggested that they be slaughtered
and buried on his farm. But the
county agent insisted that they be
given to nearby placer gold miners,
who were having a hard time getting
enough to eat.
The farmer contended that this
mould close up the nearest sales
market for the rest OF his pigs and
ruin him. He has ,Drttten of his
problem to prominent authorities.
The county agent has taken the
matter up Uith Washington.
No one has consulted the pigs.
Then there is the typical yarn about
the men on relief down in Kern Coun-
ty. There are 1000 of them in that
community, idle next to the fields
where the farmers cannot get suf-
f1cient farm help to move their crops.
The men on relief declined to take
the field jobs for few weeks because
they would lose their relief status.
It seems that nearly every one in
California can tell you of q farmer
friend back in the hills who cannot
get SUFFICIENT help because Of this sit
uation.
The Other Side.
The other side Of the relief picture
is offered by Manchester Boldly, Los
Angeles publisher and Roosevelt sup
porter. He has found that 40 to 30
per cent of the retail commercial busi-
ness around here is based on relief
checks.

What's What

Roosevelt Heads Into
CALIFORNIA; Soaring
Political Climate.
BY PAUL MALLON.


@AN DIEGO, California.-Pres-
- ident Roosevelt is probably 60
ing to wish that the San Diego
- Worlds Fair had been held in
Little America or some similar poll
tical climate before he gets through.
In California, he is stepping here
into the hottest split in Democratic
ranks anywhere. On one side are the
Upton Sinclair epicurians, unques-
tionably in control Of majority Of
Democratic votes in this State today.
Their bitter antagonists are the good
old-fashioned McAdoo Democrats,
who have the money and the inside
party machine.
Gen. Fdrley's deft tootUork on
his recent pisit to California tUiH
undoubtedly be the diplomatic rou-
tine for Mr.. Roosevelt to tollolU.
Farley remained away from Hamil-
ton Cotton's Democratic picnic 1.-THE
McAdoo ,DingJ. The general feeds
them the patronage in Washington
and could afford to Snub them
here. In public and in Private he
hobnobbed generally with the Sim
clair boys.
The play on that seems to be
that Mr.. Roosepelt wants to keep
close to the E. P. /. C.s-but not
too close.
Senator Borah is strong in the
West. From Chicago out you will find
strong undercurrent favorable to
the Idahoan for the Republican pres
idential nomination. 1t reaches its
fullest strength on the coast.
The leaders are not in on it, but all
the wise ones know that the Senator
with the silver tonsils has unvocalized
support. In fact, the shrewdest here
will tell you off the record that Borah
is in the lead for the nomination to-
day. The Lucas poll was not as far
wrong as Washington politicos
thought

FACTORY IS CLOSED
Milwaukee Council Empowers
Mayor to Act in Strike.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, October (P).
The City Common Council yester-
day empowered the mayor or chief Of
police to close a strike-bound factory
to halt violence.
Mayor D. w. Hoan signed the bill
Immediately.
The action was prompted by the re-
cent series of riots at the Lindemann
g. Hoverson Stove Works, which has
continued operations since union
workers went on strike seven weeks
ago.
While the council acted on the
measure police estimated 1000 persons
gathered at the stove works, but no
disorder was reported.

An Ace in Green Ink.

An Ace in Green Ink.
Those who have seen Senator. Borah
lately say he has a good ace hidden
in the lining Of his hat. 1t is sup
posed to be a letter from Postmaster
General Farley to some one in Idaho.
Its authenticity is attested, apparently
by the fact that it is signed with the
Farley green ink.
Gossipers relate that Farley, in this
letter, promised to move the United
States Treasury to Idaho to defeat
Borah for reelection next year, or
something equally extravagant and
unwise.
Borah is awaiting the right moment
to make the letter public, they say.
The foremost business authority
on the Pacific Coast 1ds optimistic
until a month ago. He had fet
that the natural grolping health OF
business Mould overcome its broad
uncertainties. Nothing in pdrt'cu-
lar has happened to make him
chance his mind. 1t is just neD
bunch. based apparently on the
suspicion that the financial under
structure is not firm.
For instance, he has figures lndl-
eating that the anticipated earnings
of so major industrial stocks for next
year average only about 3 per cent.
These figures do not justify some OF
the prices for these stocks on the big
board.
Business will continue to grow bet
ter, he thinks, but at more moderate
pace.
Watches the Bonds.
The price of high-grade bonds also
has been interesting this well-informed
authority. He knows that the large
investment corporations (trusts, insur-
ance companies, banks) have been
draining this field dry and that prices
have been inflated by this abnormal
demand.
His opinions are not conclusive, but
are as good as you can get from this
end.
