goo shares, bringing the months
total to around 67,OO0,O00 shares, the
best for any month since July. 1888.
1t was the best January since 1929
and except for that year record
for the month
The Dow Jones industrial average

for the French to take u. S. gold.
The Dutch guilder was at the gold
Doint but no shipment had been ar
ranged up to late hour. Commodi-
ties were mixed with gains firm and

issues and to more than A points
L. Il. NV
Consolidated Gas, Columbia Gas and
General Gas e Electric A, the most
active issues. long list of others
bettered their tops for year or
more.
Demand for utilities was inspired
by outlook for higher earnings be-
cause of sharp increases in the use
of electricity and by belief the su-
preme court would find for the util-
tiles in the Tennessee Valley Auth
ority act case which Wall Street
hopes will be decided Monday.
Car loadings for the week ended
last Saturday decreased much less
than expected from the preceding
and new highs were made by Atch-

steadily in active trading and made
its best showing in the last few min
utes of trading when shorts covered
frantically. The stock sold at its
best level since 1929 where it was up
points from the previous close.
Word had gone around that Chrys-
Ter directors had been in secret ses-
sion and that highly favorable an
nouncement would be made after
the close.

to exclude Soviet Russia from Eu-
ropean pacts, Eden declared:
Friendship cannot be exclusive.
1t cannot be directed against any
one else"
Eden again voices a plea for all
European nations to return to Gen
eva, to recreate the League into an
instrument of peace. And it was
suggested by Winston Churchill that
if Germany feared Russian agrees
sion, as Germany expresses its fears,
it should return to the League of
Nations.
Thus Germany was gaining no
ground in its efforts to separate
Russia from France and Britain
on the West.
But the week supplies further
evidence of the effectiveness of the
Fascist forces in strengthening their

PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE

The President was responsible for
the conference of Pan-American
nations, opening in Buenos Aires on
December l. He suggested the con-
ference in personal letters to the
heads of all Pan-American govern
ments, and suggested Buenos Aires
as the meeting place.
He regards the conference as a
furtherance of his Good Neigh
bor' policy to all Nations
Hardly had the returns from
Tuesdays election been counted be-
fore the White House disclosed the
President was giving consideration
to attending the opening day of the
Buenos Aires conference. Then, on
his return to Washington Friday,
the President said he was making
tentative plans to do so.
If these are carried through, he
would extend his Caribbean fishing
cruise, visit Buenos Aires for the
opening day, address the confer
ence and cruise back to Washing
ton.
He would not remain for the bust
ness sessions.
His address. in all probability,
would be plea for international
peace, citing the peaceful relation

FOLEICN AFFAIRS

FO1EIGN AFFAIRS
!, The week presented still another
lpattern of confusion in foreign af-
fairs. 1t is confusing pattern of
diffused foreign policies of Italy
and Germany
Only two weeks ago, these two
nations signed an accord, character
lied as an understanding" on COM
mon problems. They agreed on
common front against Bolshevist
Russia, against Communism, COM
+, mon program Of action in the Dan
ube.
What else they agreed upon was
not made known, if they did agree
IN anything else.
This came at a time when Ger
many obviously was counting the
friendship of Great Britain, and not
having much success either.
Then, on Sunday at Milan, II Duce
spoke of the Mediterranean in his
, usual militaristic fashion and his
words were directed against Britain,
undoubtedly to the chagrin of the
Third Reich of Hitler.
All of which shows that neither
Hitler and Mussolini have not yet
reached the point of common I'M
Outstanding on all European prob
lens
II Duce's address was directed not
only at Britain, and at France, but
against the absurdity'' of the
League of Nations.
Since the rise of Fascism, the
Italians have called the Mediter-
ranean Mare Nostrum" tour sea-
and in his Milan address, II Duce
declared:
Italy is an island which energies
from the Mediterranean This sea
4 address myself here toward the
British, who perhaps at this mo-
ment are listening-this sea is the
high road of Great Britain, one of
the many highroads, or rather
shortcuts, through which The
British Empire reaches its outly-
ing territory more rapidly.
IF the Mediterranean is for
others a highroad, for us Italians
it is life We have said thousand
times and repeat, that we do not
intend to menace this road, we do
not intend to interrupt it. But,
we say, on the other hand, our
rights and vital interests must be
respected
There are no other alternatives.
The reasoning brains of the Brit
ish Empire must realize the thing
is done and irrevocable. The soon-
er the better"
! The British reaction came in the
House. of Commons.
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden,
in the first debate on foreign pcll~
cies after the opening of Parliament
| by King Edward, declared:
I'VE do not challenge Mussoiini's
words that for Italy the Mediter-
ranean is her very lite, but we af-
firm that freedom &C communica
ton in these waters is also of vital
interest in the full sense of the word
to the British Commonwealth of
Nations"
| Britain" Eden said, welcomes
1.-The assurance of Mussolini that
Italy does not propose to threaten
the route or interrupt it. Once
more-I repeat the assurance that
we have no desire to threaten or
intention to attack any italian in
terest in the Medite, ranean.'
Thus they talk of peace, mean
while rebuilding ornaments with
all the other nations of Europe.
This is the armed peace"
Germany sustained another rebuff
in the reiteration of British policy
in the House of Commons
In the apparent refusal of Britain

THE SHIPPING STRIKE

Immediately upon his return to
the White House, the President
conferred with Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins and other Cabinet
members on the maritime strike.
The Labor Department and the
Maritime Commission sought to end
the strike, which has kept ships at
their piers in the Pacific, Atlantic
and Gulf ports, but the union rep
resentatives and operators would
not resume negotiations.
1t was estimated that almost AGO
ships were tied up.
There was a minimum of disorder
even around the hiring halls, which
remained the bitterest issue between
the Federation of Maritime work
ers and the ship owners. The I'M
ions of the West Coast demand con-
troll of the halls used as a central
agency for the hiring of longshore-
men and seamen.
In the East, and on the Gulf, the
strikes were called in sympathy with
the Coast unions
The President made it plain he
was not ready to intervene in the
strike situation. After the White
House conference Friday, Secretary
l'erkins said There is no thought
at this moment" of such interven-
ton.
