The fact is that the leaders Of the
European nations are getting really
afraid of the consequences Of their mis-
management of international affairs.
Should the much-feared crash occur
they want at least to be able to pre-
sent their people with a clean record
that they have earnestly tried to
avoid this calamity
The ripples of these conversations
have reached Washington, where the
most fire. e-eating diplomats opposed to
Mussolini say now that after all it
might be a fatal mistake to destroy
II Duce and plunge Italy into chaos,
thus giving Germany and its equally
disliked leader, Hitler, the chance of
its life.
Mussolini is fully aware of the i'm

Europe and is confident that the

vestigators favor.
Similarly. Nye and Clark contended
the President should have less dis
cretion In imposing quotas upon loans
and credits. The Pittman bill leaves
this feature largely to the Executives
discretion. The Nye-Clark bill would
treat credits on the same basis as
non-munitions commodities by pre-
venting increases to meet war de-
mands.
Nye and Clark expected the Pitt
man bill would be reported first out
OF the Foreign Relations Committee.
If unable to substitute their own bill
for 1t, they said they will seek to
amend the administration measure In
an effort to bring it as nearly as pos
sible in harmony with their views.
In his radio address, Maverick laud-
ed provision in the new bills re-
quiring impartial treatment Of ell
belligerents, and he commended the
whole policy OF preserving neutrality
by written law" as "a great ster
forward"
Against War Profits.
The new concept" is, he said, that
we should not make war profits on
belligerents and have as little as pos
sible to do with these belligerents."
THE old conception of neutrality"
he said, allowed the neutral to profit
by war. Not only could such a ma
tion trade with the belligerents as it
did before the war, but it could In
crease the exports hundred fold to
either belligerent that was in a posi-
ton to buy. 1t could profit by the war
both in the greater volume Of its ship
ments and in the higher prices paid.
1T was this increase in war trade
over the normal trade Of peace times
that constituted the principal eco
nomic entanglements that so often
dragged the neutral into the war in
the end"

"JAF SIZE" ADVISED
TO CANCEL TOWN
Prosecutor WiIentz Doesn't
Relish Appearance in
Perth Amboy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. j., January At
was learned today that DR.. John r.
"Jafsie" Condor, the Lindbergh ram
som intermediary, who has been max
ing appearances in New Jersey thea
tiers the past week, has been requested
by Attorney General David T. Wilentz.
Hauptmann's prosecutor. not to ap-
pear in Perth Amboy, Wilentz,s home
town.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann resolved
today never to see his 26-month-
son, Manfred, in the death house at
State prison.
Only nine days before the week Of
January l3-the week set for him to
die-Hauptmann showed no signs OF
breaking or of nervousness, and told
his wife, Anna and his guards he felt
certain he would not go to the chair.
Not to See Son.
He told Mrs. Hauptmann also he
would not take advantage of a prison
regulation permitting a condemned
man to see his children once during
the last week.
II don't belong in here" he told
her. II won't see my child in here"
Hauptmann last saw the boy while
awaiting trial at Pennington for the
kidnap-murder OF the Lindbergh baby.
Twice during Hauptmann's 10 months
in the death house his wife brought
the child to Trenton, but left him out
side the prison.
Mrs. Hauptmann smiled broadly as
she left the prison today after her
| third visit of the week. Previously
she had called no oftener than once
week.
II wish you could see him." she said.
'He looks fine. and is cheerful and
confident"
She again denied reports she had
booked passage for herself and son TO
leave the country.
MY place" she said, lis always
with Richard"
Asked If she would go abroad If
things do not turn out as you hope" "
she smiled again.
Hope Not Abandoned.
Things will turn out all right"
she replied.
Date for the Court of Pardons
meeting to consider Hauptmann's ap-
peal for clemency was still unset and
| Gov. Harold G.. Hoffman's office let 1t
be known it would not be announced
| over the week end.
Members of the court were told at
their meeting Monday to keep Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week open for possible call. The Court
of Errors and Appeals, of which seven
| of the Pardons Court are members,
will meet Thursday and Friday.
A session Monday was considered
unlikely because no notice has been
given state or defense attorneys.

This
Changing
World
Diplomats in London,
Paris and Rome Keep
Wires Busy.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

While the Italians are bombing ruth
lessly the Ethiopians, while the Ethi-
opians are chopping off the heads of
their prisoners with glee character
istic to their war traditions, while the
French are seeking military assistance
from all over Europe in case they are
attacked by Mussolini's forces should
they join the British in their anti
Italian punitive measures, telephone
and telegraph wires are being kept bot
| between London. Paris and Rome.
Diplomats are making final endeavor
to find some solution to the Abyssinlan
conflict before the end of the month.
***
These diplomatic conversations,
held under the cloak OF strictest
secrecy, may lead to some result
despite the apparent adan,ant at
titude of all concerned.
Everybody in Europe feels that
things haue gone much too far and
everybody begins to feel the stark
reality of another World war and
its incolculable consequences.
y -
For the time beingLondon and Paris
are endeavoring to find out what min-
imum terms could be acceptable to
Mussolini in order to recall his war
dogs from Ethiopia. AS soon as these
are ascertained there will be a good
deal of pressure brought upon Geneva
by France and Great Britain to have
a final settlement proposal sent to
Rome from the League of Nations.
Whether these last eleventh hour
peace efforts will be successful is diff
cult to say.

SOCIALIST CONVENTION

Norman Thomas Refuses to Com

Running Again.

PHILADELPHIA, January 4.-The
Socialist 1896 convention will be held
in Cleveland, starting May %, the
partys National Executive Committee
decided today.
Norman Thomas. embroiled with
other committee members in a long,
heated debate over party split in
New York State, would not commit
himself on the possibility of his can
didacy for President a third time. He
was the candidate in 1928 and 1882.
"The question is premature and not
Immediately pertinent" Thomas said.
MY immediate concern is the kind
of Socialist party we shall have in
America. If a democratic, inclusive,
aggressive party wants me to run I
shall probably do it, but repeat this

omit all matter concerning COM
munism because they want to wait
until this law is clarified.
But cur children will be better
Americans If they we're left to teach
the subject as they have been doing.
School officials never have had
a single complaint from parent
about a child being indoctrinated.
Are you to assume ali the patriotism
is in your breasts and none in the
breasts of the thousands Of parents
and teachers?"
The board takes responsibility for
all acts Of Supt of Schools Frank W..
Ballou and his subordinates. Quinn
asserted, adding: My blood boils
when I see him attacked as he has
been in this report"
Quinn Demands Names.
Sullivan denied no complaints had
been received from parents, and said
If there were no such papers in the
boards files they had been removed.
Il demand that you give me the
name of the complainant" Quinn re-
torted
Sullivan said the letter in question
was acknowledged by Ballou.
WAS it from a man formerly con-
nected with the White House?" Quinn
inquired.
TT was from a woman" Sullivan
replied.
Quinn later refused to amplify his
remark concerning the White House
and asked reporters to forget it."
The association rejected substitute
resolution, proposed by Jesse Suter,
which would have authorized appoint
ment OF a new. committee charged
with establishing cooperation between
the federation and the board, look
ing toward effective prevention OF
indoctrination of pupils of the public
schools with communism and other
un-American ideas"
All Engage in Debate.
Almost every one present spoke
either on the original or the substi-
tute resolution. The latter measure
was defeated, 80 to 26, after Sullivan
had announced he would refuse to
serve on the proposed committee.
The principal question which
divided the meeting was not whether
public school text books contained Red
propaganda-the great majority was
agreed on that-but whether the re-
port with its condemnation Of Ballou
and the demand for congressional
investigation was proper.
One of the few dissenters was Mrs.
Walter Barnes of the Washington
Highlands Citizens Association, who
said she had read the criticized text
books and found them unobjection-
able.
She read a resolution adopted by
her association urging that the
Board Of Education be given the aca-
demic right TO teach the facts con-
cerning all forms of government, in

Because of objection to admitting
organizations to membership other
than neighborhood citizens associa-
tions. the federation rejected the ap-
plication of the District of Columbia
Dental Society for affiliation.
Suter Immediately announced he
would ask for a reconsideration of
the vote at the next meeting, and
Edwin S. Hege introduced an amend
ment to the constitution barring pro-
fessional and business organizations
from future membership. 1t will be
acted upon later.
