end economic war. When the end of this war has been accomplished threats of armed conflict which have been overhanging the continent for decade may have been swept away.
 When the recent American-Brit- ish- French monetary accord was an- nounced it was hailed as striking evidence of the determination of the three great western democra- cies to work closely together for world recovery.
 Cooperative Spirit
 Other and smaller nations quickly followed their example, and Italy's similar action yesterday shows that the new spirit of cooperation is not limited to democracies but that even Relationships can be enlisted for the common good.
 The French government of Leon Blum not only took the first step to end the currency war but fol- lowed by concrete action to lower tariff walls. Some tariffs already have been cut drastically, and yes- terday Paul Bastid, French minister of commerce, speaking at Geneva offered to suppress import quotas entirely if other powers put an end to their restrictions.
 The keynote of the new economic atmosphere was struck by the Brit ish league delegate, W. s. Morrison, when he asserted that 8 new era was opening in the domain of il- ternational transactions. BaStid himself said:
 Glimmer of Hope
 "This is the first glimmer of hope for better times for men,"
 In France the action of Premier Benito Mussolini was appreciated perhaps more than in any other country because it showed that 8 nation which was withdrawing more and more into an economic shell ap- peared now to have renounced this policy of isolation. It was indicated clearly that future concerted ef- forts to restore exchanges would find Italy ready to work with the rest of the world.
 The only discordant note at pres ent comes from Germany, where the position remains unchanged. But hope is expressed here that Ger many may yet see the wisdom of Italy's example.

Scout movement has become more and more a factor of constructive nurpose in our changing national scheme. The new youth movement draws in large part from the prin" ciples the Girl Scouts have as their basic program. It can well be saio that the Scout movement is the true nucleus of national trend toward giving the youth of America a re- sponSible part in striving for the best in government and 8 better life for our citizens"
 with these thoughts in mind 1t must be apparent that the 1000 girls comprising the membership of the Waterbury Council of Girl Scouts, as well as the many more who will seek membership during the coming year, should have the support of the community in which they will soon, as citizens, have collective voice in the conduct ot our government and all civic affairs. They will be the representative homemakers and voters in the im- mediate years that follow"

sembly, indicated that Britain was opposed to international economic conferences, preferring direct nego- tiations between countries.
 In a speech at the assembly at Geneva today, before the league economic commission, William Van Ianschot of the Netherlands indi- cated similar belief that this was not the time for a world conference but suggested that the league itself establish a committee to study the problem of abolishing trade bar rierS.
 Before the same assembly, Victor Antonescu of Rumania pledged his country's support to the American British French financial agreement announced coincident with the de- valuation of the franc as a means of leading to progressive abolition of import quotas and exchange con- trol.
 Disarmament Similar
 '"The problem of economic disarm- ament presents itself in terms prac- tically similar to military disarma- ment," he said, land presupposes like the latter, wide. effective inter- national collaboration" French spokesmen, in Paris, hailed the French-Italian devalua- tion as the first important step to- ward breaking down of trade bar riers and talked of 8 real drive for economic disarmament.
 Members of the late European gold bloc generally talked of freer trade and increased exports now that their currency was being brought into line with that of such coun- tries as the United States and Great Britain.
 Meet This Week
 Tn London, the newly enlarged foreign exchange committee of Lon don and foreign banks agreed to meet this week to trfy to solve the problems created by last weeks up- heaval in gold currencies, and to relxnit the London market into its old time unity.
 It was noted that, while states men talked of economic disarma- ment as calculated to end the bit- terness in economic relations which are regarded as an important factor in the dangerous world political sitlation, a new League of Nations disarmament commission started its work at Geneva-agreeing as 8 first step to indulge in no grandoise dreams but to proceed cautiously and practically so that no matter how slow progress might be, it would at least be sure.
 At the same time in its 10th an- nual survey of world production and prices the league expressed the opinion:
 Recovery in world production &C., tivity, begun in the middle of 1882, continued in 1885 and the early part of 1936." Prices of most basic com- modities, the report said, rose in 1885 and further progress was made in 1886 toward restoration of pre- dression price relationships.
 Other conclusions were: CD That total primary production increased 2 per cent in 1885 and was as large as in 1928; (2) world agricultural production, which had remained stable at about the levels reached in 1928-1929, fell slightly in 1934-19S5 and remained practically unchanged in 1885 and 1886.

Boon, in Buggies
Ends Threatened
! Plant Shutdown

LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. CP.-The
buggy business is booming for one of
the largest buggy factories in the
country located here. The boom be-
gan in 1882 and still is going strong.
William Knapp, who at rs guides
the destinies Of the company he
founded years ago, says he sold 900
buggies last year for approximately
$4,000. Plant capacity, however, is
5000 buggies a year.
The company's biggest year was in
1920, after which sales fell of almost
to the vanishing point in 1881. Since
then it's been different and there's no
more talk heard Of closing the plant.
Knapp says about rs per cent Of all
buggies made are sold In the South.
There buggy has a resale value
much higher than that of a used
automobile, says z. J. Knapp, an Of
fetal Of the local concern.
