three desks, the other two.
Previously, cases were heard in the
main office, where the three desks are
located. but Hooe has decided to con-
vert this into a private office for him
self and his staff.
AS a result most of the cases are
now being heard in the smaller office
and on several occasions members Of
the staff have been asked to leave
the main ofice and hear cases in the
other one.
This has resulted In some dissatis-
faction, but Hooe said his purpose
was to provide place where he and
members of the staff could work in
private when privacy was desirable.
Any member of his staff. he said, is
welcome to use his ONCE to hear cases
where there is q need for privacy.
In practice. however, this policy has
resulted In much confusion In the
outer office. and in some cases men,
bers of the staff have been obliged
to hear complaints in the public cor
ridors in order to get their work done.
Hooe said he intends to put another
desk in the outer ONCE, so there will
be one for each assistant, and that
he hopes to obtain additional space
for the staff.

PEACE HOPE SEEN
IN COOPERATION
Sir Wi|lmott Lewis Tells
KenSington c. of c. Non
Military War Rages Now.
BY JACK ALLEN,

KENSINGTON, Md, September "a.
Declaring no single power on earth
is sufficient to prevent another general
war such as that which plunged the
world into conflict in 1914. Sir Will
mott Lewis, Washington correspondent
for the London Times, told the Ken
sington Chamber Of Commerce last
night the only escape lies with the
nations themselves.
The only hope as I see it." the
speaker tod some 200 members and
guests OF the civic body, lis for CO.
operation between the nations, es-
pecially along the lines Of trade. with
the paramount object being the i'm
provement of economic conditions"
Sir Willmott asserted that the chief
reason the world was free from a gen.
eral conflict between 1915, when the
Napoleonic wars ended and 1914, when
the World War began, was the fact
that Great Britain welded so much
financial power and strength upon the
sea 1t could force peace.
Cooperation Only Hope.
I'VE come now to the twentieth CEN
tury. where no one nation is that
strong and the world faced with the
prevention Of a general war as the
crowning necessity of the day." the
speaker stated.
"A combination Of the United States
and Great Britain would be strong
enough to prevent a world war, but
see no hope of a policy of that kind
being adopted. The League of Ma
tions cannot do it. The only hope,
then, as I see it, is for cooperation
between the nations to improve eco
nomic conditions
He told his audience In this con-
nection that the policies Of Secretary
of State Cordell Hull regarding inter-
national trade have contributed greatly
to the cause of peace.
Sir Wlllmott stated that, whereas
the Versailles treaty in 1918 ostensiblv
was peace treaty, it actually merely
marked the beginning of an ever
increasing non-military conflict be-
tween the nations which has been
waged through the medium of higher
tarlHS, non-lntervention treaties, mil
itary pacts and other negotiations.
"At War Now"
Actually speaking" he said. "we
are at war now, but don't realize it
because of its non-m military aspect"
Sir Willmott stated that the United
States cannot escape interdependence
with the rest of the world and said
every citizen is directly affected BY
trade practices.
Your domestic activities may take
your money through taxation and your
liquor through prohibition but mis-
management of foreign affairs may
take absolutely everything you have,
even life itself" he explained.
The address was made before the
chambers Fall rally at the local ele-
mentary school.

Byrd Delays Hearings as
Committee Members
Wait Election.

Chairman Byrd of the Senate COM
mittee on reorganization Of the adj
ministrative branch Of the Govern
ment announced late yesterday that
hearings on reorganization proposals
must be postponed until after the
elections-not because of any political
effect on the election, but because he
can't get the members Of his com.
mittee to take any interest until after
the balloting.
In the meantime, however, the Vir.
ginia Senator expects some valuable
work will be done through fact.find.
ing studies being made by the Brook
ings Institution to show where dupli-
cation and overlapping might be re-
duced through regrouping.
A satisfactory" start was made
yesterday on one Of the important pre-.
liminaries at q conference between
the Presidents and Senator Byrd's
advisory committees of experts, which
themselves overlap and duplicate in
personnel. An effort is being made
to map out q course for each commit
tee so their studies may not conflict.
Another conference is to be held in
about two weeks.
The Presidents special advisers
Louis D. BrownlOw and Luther H.
Gulick. specialists in public service,
and Charles E. Merriam, expert in
economics-agreed that conflict should
be avoided and emphasized the Presi-
dents special aim to secure better
executive management" through a
direct contact with the various units
Of government. This would keep the
President fully advised at all times on
such problems as personnel. finance
and administration.

method Actually, the difference is that Mr.. Lam
don believes sound recovery is possible, and
clearly has no wish or intention to hold the
farmers in Federal leading strings, or manacles,
as prominent wards Of the Government. The New
Deal statements on farm policy, which coincide
so seriously with the Republican pronouncements.
are very evidently designed to take the wind out
of the sails of Gov Landon's proposals 1t is
revealing that after three years Of absolute
power to do anything they chose about the farm
situation, the New Dealers are so ready to take
up the Republican counter offering. II, as they
claim, they had it in mind. there was nothing
to prevent them from trying it long ago.
