Eden Visit Is Seen
Lesson for Diefators
In British Solidarity
london's Lima Trip
Held Representing
Much the Same .Thino
By the Associated Press.

Newsmen puzzling over the sig
niicance of the American visit Of
Anthony Eden, former British for
eign secretary, find in it much more
impressive implications than the
role OF casual volunteer ambassador
OF Anglo-American good will.
There is an inclination. tor ex-
ample. to compare the Eden visit
with She inclusion of Former Gov.
All Landon on the United States
delegation to the Lima Pan-Ameri-
can Conference. To some, Mr..
Eden's hasty coming and going, in
a strictly maintained unoficial
status, represents much the same
thing as Gov. Landons appointment
and acceptance.
Both carry to world ears a mes
sage OF national solidarity to
maintain democratic fundamentals
against every totalitarian encroach-
ment, regardless of political and
policy differences at home in each
country. That meaning of Gov.
Landon's presence at Lima was not
intended alone for Latina American
contemplation. It was aimed as
much at Rome, Berlin and Toxic,
and unless most Washington writer's
misread the real purposes of the
Eden visit, it was pointed the same
way.
Solidarity.
In one case, the last Republican
presidential nominee accepted serv-
Ice at Lima at an hour when the
hopes Of his party of recovering
national power were the highest in
decade, due to election upsets for
the Democrats. Mr.. Eden came
and went in the wake of his break
with the Chamberlain ministry in
England over the policy that led
up to Munich; but it was British
solidarity to maintain democratic
Ideals and institutions that fur
nished his keynote, not internal
British friction over ways and
means.
There Is no creditable hint from
any quarter that Mr.. Eden had a
secret mission. On the contrary,
the extraordinary public interest he
Evening star., 1938-12-18

aroused In this country must have
been welcomed In Downing Street.
He caught and stirred American
Imagination as perhaps no other
Britisher could have done. Some
thing about him and the circum-
stances OF his resignation from the
Chamberlain cabinet appealed to
that idealism strong in the Ameri-
can makeup.
What the future may hold for
this young man of British politics,
none can say. Many forecast that
some day he will be Prime Minister.
Ambassadorial Post?
Yet in the wake Of his Washing
ton visit. speculation sprang up
without benefit of any authoritative
background whatever as to whether
another role, hardly less important
to Anglo-American good will pro-
motion. might not come first. If,
for any reason, Downing Street
might in the near future be seeking
a man to interpret British actions
to American ears, Mr.. Eden's avail
ability could not be overlooked.
There is no suggestion now that
Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British Am
bassador, is to be replaced. But he
has been at his post beyond the nor
NAL British tour Of duty. If there
should be change. 1t is certain
that many Americans would expect
to see Mr.. Eden considered, for spe-
cial reasons growing out Of the
clash in Europe between democracy
and totalitarianism.
Whatever may be in anybody's
mind about that. many Washing
tonians are satisfied that American
advice, informally given, had part
in the timing and duration of the
Eden visit. Had it come just few
weeks later or lasted over the year
end holidays into the opening Of
the first session Of the new Con-
gress, it cannot be doubted that a
storm of debate by ultra isolation"
lists in the Senate would have been
let loose.
That may still come; but after
the fact. That makes a difference.
It makes unlikely the adoption of
Senate resolutions demanding light
on alleged hidden meanings of the
Eden visit. The answer is too easy
for the administration, due to the
carefully preserved unofficial and
wholly personal character Of the
trip.

her to the Garrett estate, just out
side of Baltimore.
Mrs. Eden is continually amazed
over the American tempo, our speed
Of living. I'm London" she said,
there might be two things to do
in an afternoon; in New York there
are 20. But every one manages to
cram most of them Inland never
feels too exhausted"
Mrs. Eden insists that American
air is stimulating-at least to the
British-and that she got along on
far fewer hours of sleep.
Mrs. Eden tried out American
breakfasts - though her husband
stuck to his kippered herrings. She
substituted coffee for her usual tea
and spread her British marmalade
on corn mullins instead of toast.
Mrs. Eden recalled that she
"whizzed" to half dozen private
parties-and enjoyed them tremen-
dously. The Winthrop Aldriches
gave a tea-cocktail party. They
invited only attractive younger peo-
pie, who weren't especially excited
over politics." Mrs. Eden explained.
Mr.. Aldrich, incidentally, heads the
Chase National Bank and is
brother of Mrs. John D. Rockefeller.
Sure to Come Back.
Mr.. Eden sneaked away from his
public last night in New York and
had a fine time at the home of
Joseph c. Baldwin, Sd. Mr.. Baldwin
is an intimate friend of Donald Tree,
and he's been giving informal re-
ceptions on Thursday nights for
more than is years. Mr.. Eden had
battle getting away from the Bald
wins feminine guests-though many
of them claimed to have been dis
appointed in his looks!
Mr.. Eden was terribly anxious to
see what "speakeasy" looked like
he'd heard of them, of course, but
had never seen one. Since prohi-
bition speakeasies are hard to find
but his friends did find what
passed as speakeasy--and Mr.. Eden
didn't like it at all!
Mr.. and Mrs. Eden are sure to
come back-and when they do let's
hope that they'll have a terrapin
dinner, find a great many new
dancing places-and nice, bright
speakeasy!

CHICAGO, May 4.-Thousands of yachtsmen along the Gulf coast, in the Great Lakes region and on both eastern and western sea- board are. busy at their annual spring task of repairing and out fitting their boats in preparation for a busy season on the water.
 More than a million power and sail craft are operated by Ameri- cans for pleasure purposes. This huge fleet includes all manner of boats, from outboards to giant racing craft, and from starboats to luxurious yachts. Their owners are equally varied in age and posi- ton, including old and young, clerks and millionaires.
 Designers and boat-builders have been busy in hundreds of shops this winter and opening of the sra- son will find a host of smart new boats added to the American pleas ure fleet The starboat class eS- pecially has had a remarkable growth in the past couple of years the popularity of this type of craft being due to the ease with which it can be navigated-novices and women have little difficulty in mas tering it-and to the fact that the starboat is not as expensive to build as some other boats, good one costing around $500 or $700.
 Millions to be Spent
 In contrast to the economy of l building and operating one of these l trim numbers, staggering sums are spent on the palatial ocean, going yachts such as the Nour- mahal of Vincent Astor These l floating palaces cost as high as $200.0O0 year to operate and keep in shape.
 It is estimated that nearly $20,- 100000 will be spent during the next six weeks getting ready for the yachting season. New marine motors, paint, sails and nautical fittings of every kind will make up the spring yachting budget. Much of the work will actually be done by the owner and his family since half the fun is working on the boat and anticipating the joyful days on the water later.
 This task of spring houseclean- ing" after boat has been laid uI all winter is no easy one. Old paint must be scraped off and sur faces refinished, fittings must be polished and interiors cleaned, bot

NET TIGHTENS
 AROUND ALIEN
 BOAT OWNERS
Must Dispose of Interests to U. s. Citizens, Federal
 Attorney Declares

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May A. United States Attorney Benjamin Harrison said here today that any alien owning an interest in an American registry fishing boat must immediately dispose of such inter est to a bona fide citizen.
 "Only boats operating under for eign registry can be legally owned by aliens" Harrison said on re- turning here from a conference in Washington with the departments of labor and commerce. He said strict enforcement of the law mak- ing fishing boats subject to for feiture, whose papers do not bear names of all the owners, was im- practicable.
 Sudden strict enforcement and forfeiture under the law would work an undue hardship on those having more than one hundred and fifty million dollars invested in the fish ing industry in this area" he said and added that illegal registry came into being largely on account of lax enforcement for thirty years.
 Boat owners plan a conference to make proper registry possible Harrison said, adding that 200 oi the 800 boats owned on shares are registered in one name only.

toms seraped and sails repaired. But this work is fast being rushed to completion as an early spring favors the boatmen and presages a long season of racing and pleas ure cruising.
 Season Promises Much
 Indications are that the 1888 season will be one of the best ill history. A host of new yacht clubs have been organized and the membership of the older ones has considerably increased in the past couple of seasons. The novelty and picturesqueness of the sport has won many new recruits and a record number of entries are in sight for the most important re- gattas scheduled during the com ing months.
 Prospects are particularly bright in the Great Lakes region which has seen a phenomenal growth in the number of pleasure boatmen since 1855. It is in this sector, too that arrival of spring is hailed with particular enthusiasm be- cause winter ice and snow force the yatchsman to curb his impa- tience until return of warn weather.

QUOTAS NOT FILLED

QUOTAS NOT FILLED
 This consideration has guided ref ugee organiza tions in other nations as well as the United States in avoiding any implication that the avs are going to be stretched to permit refugees to flow across the borders. Talk of asking Congress to increase the present German Austrian emigrant quota fixed by law has quieted. At present the quo- ia permits 9 ,957 annually from Ger many and 1.413 from Austria Last year only 48 percent of the German quota was filled and only 30 percent of the Austrian quota.
 So far this year there has beer no striking increase. Emigration from Germany to the United States during the 1887 fiscal year rar about a thousand month. The av- craze for the first seven months oi the 1888 fiscal year is 1,286 month
 Sc careful is the State Depart ment to avoid an appearance oi stretching the law to aid the refu- gees that it declines to say whether ecnsuls in Germany and Austria will be urged to give precedence tc refugees i'll filling the quotas.

The federal attorney did not
amplify his brief remark, but it
was interpreted as including the
three brothers OF the late Philip,
who also changed their identities
and names and became executives
of McKesSon & Robbins.
Philip, the big brother" and
arch schemer of the group, was
president of the corporation. The
three surviving brothers were in
Jail, unable to provide 100000
bonds each-George, who assumed
the name of George E. Dietrich

his brothers firm; Arthur, now
known as George Vernard, who
became connected with two dummy
corporations dealing with the
firms crude drugs department;
and Robert, who as Robert Diet
