ANSWER TO FAsCIsTS

The trade pact is regarded as
the greatest forward step in Amer
ican history to smash the barriers
blocking world economic recovery.
Great Britain is the United States
largest customer.
AS great as is its economic inn
portance, the worldwide political
significance of the tie between the
United States and Britain looms
even larger.
Politically, it is regarded as
democracy's answer to the Fascist
alliance concluded between Italy,
Germany and Japan st Rome two
weeks ago.

DAVIS TO ATTEND
| PARLEY ON SUGAR
Disarmament and Economic
Problems Are Believed
Also on Assignment.

The State Department announced
yesterday that it is sending Norman
H. Davis, Ambassa dor r-at-large and
chief American delegate to the dis
armament conference, to Europe. His
ostensible mission will be to represent
the United States at the world sugar
conference, to be convened in London
on April S, but the general suppostion
Is that sugar is only the coating for
the main ingredients in Davis's mis-
sion.
Possibilities Of reviving the disarm-
ament movement and of calling an
economic conference, either of general
character or to deal with specific
problems, are believed to be on Davis's
diplomatic agenda.
He may also discuss naval questions
in particular. The main objective of
the State Department., it is believed,
is to get Davis abroad where he can
use his prestige and wide personal
| acquaintanceShip in many nations to
feel OUT the international situation
generally and see whether anything
can be done, on the tnitia tive of the
United States, to ease world tension.
Committee Meets May 3.
The Steering Committee of the dis
armament conference meets in Geneva
on May 3. Whether Davis will attend

more than perfunctory meeting un-
less the United States, through Davis,
tries to resume activity of some kind.
| At present, official opinion here is
set against any initiative on the part
Of this country in the disarmament
field But the feeling is growing that
| the European situation is improving
somewhat and that the time NAV

initiatives in the economic field.
Davis will be accompanied by J. B.
HutSon, assistant A. A. A. adminis-
traitor. and Frederick Livesey, assistant
economic adviser to the State De-
partment. These two men are ex-
pected to deal with the sugar problem

SERVICE PROGRAM
'He|p Wanted Sketches Will
Tell of Plight of 5000
Lacking Resources.

Working in cooperation with the
Community Chest and the Board OF
Public Welfare, radio station WJSV
will continue its Help Wanted" pro-
gram during this week. The decision
to continue the programs was made
because of results already obtained.
The program, in which men and
women in dire distress tell their
stories over the air, is designed TO
impress the public with the plight of
the 5000 employable men and women
in the District who are without jobs
and are not eligible for assistance
from the Public Assistance Division
OF the Board of Public Walfare.
These employables, most of them
with dependents, represent approx
mately 10000 persons without food.
The children are without clothing to
wear to school and the parents, in
many instances, facing eviction.
The Community Chest, through its
agencies, is furnishing the men and
women who appear on the radio, be-
cause the Chest agencies, already
carrying more people than their
budgeted funds should permit, are
unable to help directly.
Community Chest agencies report
that many employers are attempting
to make these people work for STAR
walton wages because of their plight.
The men to be heard at tbs pm.
tomorrow will be furnished by the

ATTESTED:
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

NEW YORK, March 13-Stupen-
dous new railroad rails each more
than a mile long, the beginning of
new phase in American railroading,
were announced today by the Amer
ican Society Of Civil Engineers. Usual
rails are 80 feet long.
A number of the "endless" rails
already have been laid. Their pur-
pose is smoother riding, to compete
with busses and planes. Longer life
for rails is another objective. Track
maintenance cost is less and wear is
reduced on rolling stock
Four of the rails are each 5000
feet, or " miles, long. They have
been laid at River Valley, Pa, by
the Bessemer g. Lake Erie Railroad.
The others, each exceeding a mile
by about 700 feet, were laid near Me-
ehanicsville, N. Y. by the Delaware
& Hudson Railroad.
All are standard size. They were
made by welding ordinary rails to-
gether. The welding was done in
some cases on the track, in others in
the railroad shops.
The mile-long rails were laid on q
string of fiat cars. In transportation
they took the curves as readily Is 70
much cable. Laying them was done
much as q Atlantic cable is
dropped Oh the end of ship.
All this was done more than a year
ago. The rails have had two Winters
and one Summer in regular use. The
result, the society announces, is to
bury hundred-year- belief that
rails have to be short to allow for
dangerous expansion and contrac-
ton.
The principle is explained in the
engineering society's proceedings by
Alfred Africano, New York engineer.
In the United States, Germany, Aus
tralia and other countries, he says,
engineers have been experimenting
with continuous welded rails but have
been 1T loss to explain why the

Summer Of 1888 The sugar con-

a year or more, according to officials
here. The demand for such a con-
ference came from some of the chief
cane sugar exporting areas, such as
Java and Cuba.
These sugar-cane areas have been
experiencing increasing difficulty over
several years because of the movement
toward national sufficiency in sugar and
the consequent stimulation to beet
sugar production by tariffs and boun-
ties.

persisted. The American experiments
with more than mile long rails, plus
laboratory tests, Africano said, shows
that while the small amounts Of
holding power in the spike or clip
fastenings OF the rail to the ties are
insufficient to prevent q short rail
from expanding as freely as If it were
on creased rollers, the spikes are
sufficient, when added upon long

completely fixes the rail in place.
