JOHN BARRETT, DIPLOMAT, DIES
 OF PNEUMONIA
Former Director General ol Pan-American Union
 Had Fine Record

BELOW FAIA5, Vermont, Oct 18.-John Barrett, Fl, noted arbiter in international ecoonmic disputes and former Director General of Pan-A American Union, is dead here as result of pneumonia.
 John Barrett, as diplomat and las Director General of the Pan- American Union for 13 years, did more, perhaps. than any other per son of his generation to promote closer cultural and economic rela- tions among the American re- publics.
 The skeleton of the present Pan- American Union had existed for 20 years as the Bureau of American Republics, but had achieved little international importance, when Bar rett took the directorship in 1907.
 Under his guidance it's activities were greatly expanded and the present American building in Washington-a million dollar struc- ture made possible by the muni- ficence of the late Andrew Carne- gie-was erected
 Barrett, a bald, six-foot Vermont CT, worked long hours to put through his plans. Lights frequent ly burned in his office until 2 am.
 President Theodore Roosevelt, paying tribute to Barretts success once said:
 He recognized and developed it from an unimportant dying govern ment bureau into a world-recogniz- ed international organization for peace, friendship and commerce and increased Pan-American trade many-fold."
 Barrett went to the Pan-Amer- ican Union with world wide back ground of experience in the diplo- matic service.
 First Post in Siam
 As 28-year-old newspaperman only five years out of Dartmouth College, Barrett had occasion to call on President, Grover Cleve- land. The President was impressed by the young man and Barrett, with the backing of Western Sen ators he had met as newspaper man in Seattle, Portland, Tacoma and San Francisco, was appointed minister to Siam in 1894.
 In this post he distinguished him.

STAR WITNESS IN SPY TRIAL
 IS ON STAND
Gustav Rumrich Tells of Secret Information
 Secured by Nazis

NEW YORK, Oct. 18-The Gov ernment's star spy case witness, Gustav Rumrich, Army deserter, who turned secret agent, told Judge Knox and the Federal Court Jury today that Nazi interests shifted from American Military secrets late in 1897 to industrial information. Rumrich said he was given this in- formation by two agents with whom he was in contact one whom he knew only as Weigand and the other as Schmidt.
 Weigand was apparently impor- tant, Rumrich testified. as he showed photographs of himself taken at the German Embassy in Washington, D. C., purportedly in company with Ambassador Dieck- hoff and Capt. Fritz Wiedmann, Adjutant of Adolf Hitler.
 Rumrich said Weigand first ap- praised him of Germany's shifting interest from military to industrial information and wanted particular ly information on American rearm- ament.
 Rumrich said the shift was ex- plained on account of an agreement between someone in Washington and someone in Berlin.

You ask what the present Euro pean situation holds for America in the long run.
 First, what is that situation?
 War has been averted, probably for number of years unless some thing unexpected occurs. But there remain sore spots, ambitions, and 1919 boundaries that may yet have to be redrawn. The system of col lective security has broken down. Force or the threat of it, regardless of treaties and the Kellogg Pact, has been successfully used.
 The latest case, which brought us to the very edge of a world war, is important from that respect rather than from that of the par tial dismemberment of Czechoslova- kia, which I thought when at the Peace Conference, was badly con- structed and which is only 19 years old.

 Crisis; It Is Very Sud Thing

tween a Washington crisis and the common up-country variety A Washington crisis must be ominous. It must have the seeds of war, or point to a possible re-direction of the nations policy.
 Most crises move under their own power, but some have to be whooped up like Grover Whalen's world fair, or whether the com- munity chest will go over the top. The Ethiopian crisis was like that. It took a lot of boosting to give it crisis standing The Ethiopiaus were a long way off and they never had done our laundry, like the Chi nese.

 That is one of the exciting things about living in Washington. There nearly always is crisis.
 The crises this city has are not the penny-ante variety. They are whoppers Hollywood can have it's crisis about whether Bette Davis or Fanny Brice will play Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind :" Columns will be written about it.
 But it is peanut stuff. It ranks along with the current crisis over whether woman shall curl their hair low or curl it high.

Tran would have sworn that she did so with her tongue in her cheek.
 As for Dr. Benchley, his flushed face wore much the look of a small boy caught with the jam pot. Just as the door opened, Tran distinctly heard him say, "Yes, Ma lam. I won't forget again honest.

And now will you please sit down and tell me exactly why, when you should have been with Miss Miller yesterday afternoon, you were standing in the west corridor with Dr. Benchley's arms around you?"
