the Sino-Japanese conflict would be
the first step considered by the con-
ference 1t Brussels Of the nine-power
treaty signatories, including the United
States.
Asked at press conference If medi-
alton was . fair assumption to be
drawn from his "fireside" radio speech
last Tuesday night. the President re-
marked he had said that in 50 many
words.
While refusing comment on the
stock market decline, he indicated he
might have something to say on the
subject in q general way in his mes
sages to the special and regular ses-
sions of Congress
Asked If the market developments
were bothering him, he told his in
quirer to wait and see his messages to
the Legislature.

speech yesterday Of Winthrop w. AID
rich, president Of the Chase National
Bank, blaming the drop in securities
on Federal regulation and urging
revision Of the capital gains and in
come surtax rates.
OF the foreign situation the Presi-
dent said it was sheer guesswork as
to what the United States was going
to do in the future.
Asked what would follow if media
tion efforts in the Sino-Japanese un-
declared war failed, he said that was
an if question.
He said he could not discuss the
possibility Of modification Of the neu-
trality act, nor would he say whether

Large to Europe, would represent this
country at the nine-power treaty con-
ference.

tinued to devote a large part Of his

danger" the strange answer ca
CHAPTER XVIII
Guy Halstead-Flagg had been
all over the world.
He was energetic. rich, a con-
noisSeur in art, a sportsman, and
to some extent a scholar; from his
early days the world had been his
oyster. He had lived fully.
He was "a years old. Handsome
and magnetic, he had a great at
traction for women. Not only did
they fall in love with him but,
more important, they liked him.
Yet he might be described more
accurately as q mans man. His
men friends swore by him. He
was a true pal.
He had been put through many
stiff tests Of courage. Lion hunt
ing in Africa. Dangerous tiger
shooting trips through Indian
jungleS. Expeditions in Central
America, for he had scientific
turn Of mind.
For several seasons he had been
a member of the American bob
sleigh team in st. Moritz, Switzer-
land, where a mishap on the
Cresta Run usually had but one
ending! He was fearless.
FATHER DIED
Four years ago his father had
died, leaving him, the elder Of his
sons, the farm in Kentucky, with
its fine stable of show horses, its
cattle, the lovely colonial mansion
set in rolling acres Of blue grass.
Guy loved horses. Since his
management of the estate, many
fine bluebloods had been added to
the Halstead-Flagg farm.
Bellies from Louisville and beau
ties from half a dozen counties
had set their caps for the hand
some Guy-in vain.
True, he danced with them at
the balls, escorted them to the
races, could drink a mint julep
on a magnolia-scented porch under
a spring moon.
But, despite flirtations, he would
drift away from them back to his
own devices, or off on an expedi-
ton that put oceans between him
and the charmer. To his credit
he It said that, despite a heart
ache, there was no lasting wound,
nor did these society bells cherish
any resentment toward him.
He was very well liked in Ken
lucky.
But, since his brothers tragic
death, a change had come over
Guy. He had been deeply at
tached to young Randolph, who
was his junior by 10 years, and
whose short life had been rather a
wild one.
Following Randy's death, Guy
had Stunned society. But on his
trips to New York, it began to be
rumored back home that Guy was
seen at this and that night club.
It seemed odd.
For Randy had died in a night
club. And died ingloriously.
That Guy, who had vowed he
loathed Broadway, and all it stood
for, should follow Randy's foot
steps was unthinkable. Yet it
seemed the case.
The only thing lacking in the
gossip was the finding Of the true

Mr.. Nickel, member of the Tux

MOORE SPEECH
LAUDS FATHER
OFC0UNTRY

George washington was charac-
terized today by Assistant Secre-
tary Of State r. Walton Moore. Of
Virginia, addressing a Joint meet
ing Of the D. A. r., s. A. r., and
C. A. r. In Continental Memorial
Hall, as q progressive" who laid
the groundwork for the American
Revolution in the decade which
preceded it.
Patrick Henry, according to AS
Sistant Secretary Moore, was the
foremost progressive" of his day.
Although Washington was a
man Of wealth, and reached his
conclusions deliberately, he allied
himself unhesitatingly with the
progresSives of the colonial period
Of the country's history, the
speaker declared.
Always Progressive
Amplifying this theme, he said:
'Tn the decade prior to the
Revolution the Mount Vernon
planter calmly and patiently
watched the political current
and affected It by his own in
fIuence and action. It might
have been supposed that he
would ally himself with the
prominent VirginIans, most Of
whom were unable to see any
injustice in the policies of the
Crown. He had worn the British
uniform in the colonial wars
against the French and Indians.
Nevertheless he reached the con.
clusiOn that it was his duty to
take the other course.
"In truth he was always pro-
greSSive, like the stars unrest
ing but unhasting.'
Resolves Praised
On July 10, 1774, in consulta-
tion with George Mason, of Guns
ton Hall, neighboring estate on
the Potomac, Washington brought
about a meeting of Fairfax coun-
ty freeholders, at which the "Fair-
fax Resolves" were adopted, of
which Mr.. Moore said:
"These resolutions expressed
the views Of Washington, but
were written by Mason. They
were from the pen of that re.
