WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

Institute of Pacific Relations which has
been in progress at Yosemite, Calf, for
the past week and at which representa-
tives of Great Britain, Japan, China,
the United States and other interested
nations have been discussing problems
in the Far East, Frederick ". Field,
secretary of the American Council Of
the institute and former member of the
American Economic Mission to China,
declares in study in the Far Eastern
Survey that the United States spent
$500, ,000, 900 last year to maintain its Far
Eastern policy. while financial DEMENT'S
accruing to this country in part as a
result of that policy totaled only S84,-
600 00O Admitting that there are i'm
portant non-economic aspects to Amer
ican foreign policy which cannot be
judged by financial balance sheet" Mr..
Field asks whether the present deficits
represent expenditures which will some
day be returned in increased trade and
investment. Much more research" on
this question will be necessary. he says,
before it can be answered satisfactorily.
When NJ Andre de Laboulaye, French
Ambassador to the United states, arrives
in New York tomorrow on the lie de
France he will be accompanied by
Michel Detroyat, famous French speed
pilot. who will attempt to break the
flight record across the continent. M.
Detroyat, who is going to Los Angeles
to participate in the national air races
there next week, is planning to fly to
California in a 650-horsepower Morane-
Hispano monoplane which he is bringing
with him, but his real attempt to estab-
lish a new transcontinental record will be
in q Caudron- -Renault which is now in
Los Angeles awaiting his arrival there.
As this machine holds the world speed
record for land planes, the French flyer
is reported as feeling confident OF sue
cess in his trial.
william Phillips, whose duties as
Undersecretary of State came to an end
on Monday, when he took the oath of
Office as American Ambassador to Italy,
expressed the hope on leaving here that
he would be able after his arrival in
Rome next month to maintain with the
press there the same friendly relations
which have obtained here. In saying
farewell to the newspaper correspondents
in his final conference with them he
expressed the confidence OF the State
Department in the work they are doing
there, and then added: From the view
point of the public, it seems to me very
fortunate that they have you as their
representatives here, and in sense
you are their representatives because
you have become experts in your line OF
work."
Getulio Vargas, jr., 19-year-old son OF
the President of Brazil, who came to this
country with his mother on visit last
Winter, has returned to the United States
to take a course in industrial chemistry
in an American college. Young Vargas,
who has Just arrived here as the guest
of the Brazilian Ambassador, Senior

great opportunity in his country for
the practice of this science. Brazil, he

develop the cotton, rubber and other
natural resources Of his country. He
