And What
They Do
Monnet Highly
Regarded for His
Financial Acumen
BY LEMUEL F, PARTON.

The Volstead Act crowded Jean
Monnet out of his first venture in
internationalism. The new "eco-
nomic director" for the allies had to
quit hurriedly as deputy secretary
general of the League of Nations,
and return to the French village of
Cognac to save his ancestral brandy
business, from which he had gained
considerable fortune in American
and Canadian sales. He was cred
tied with some masterful flnan-
ciering in saving his firm
His exporting activities had
schooled him in world finance and
he became swing man around the
world for the international bankers,
credited with being a deep insider
in this field. In 1927, he negotiated
the French loan to Poland. Here
in 1928. he became the European
partner of Blair & Co., New York
investment bankers, and on that
visit sketched out the future of
dilIC do pOSolply lllc GREATEST
lending nation of the world.
In 1880, he became vice chairman
OF the Trans-America Corp, before
Amadeo Giannini's successful out
reach for control. He remained ac-
tive and powerful in Wall Street,
and, in 1888, was a member of the
joint committee representing Amer
ican interests in the Kreuger and
Toll upset. In 1884 he became
financial adviser to China and ar
ranged Americas s50,oOO,OO0 loan to
China.
In the immediate postwar years
he represented the interests of the
French government in London.
His skill in negotiating led Lord
Robert Cecil to suggest his appoint
ment on the League of Nations
secretariat for France He is highly
regarded in Europe for his financial
acumen and his astute knowledge of
the subtleties and intricacies of in
ternational credit.

the convention is held.
1t has been the invariable rule,
over period of many years, for
the Republicans and Democrats to
hold their national conventions for
the selection of presidential nomi-
nees IN June. If that rule is adhered
to in 1910 it is obvious that candi-
dates who desire to enter preferen-
tial primary in Arkansas must get
busy within very short time. Their
requests, if they make them, must
60 through the State committees.
Here is a chance for President
Roosevelt, Vice President Garner
or Paul v. McNutt, Federal security
administrator, or any of the other
potential candidates to declare
themselves, in accordance with the
Arkansas State law; to get their
hats officially in the ring at an early
date. If no such requests are made,
then no primary will be held and
the delegates to the national con-
vention will be selected by the State
convention route.
Rules in 13 States.
A list of the presidential prefer
entail primaries in 13 States has

Saws Man Can Now Use
Power of 1000 Minds

A strange man in Los Angeles,
known as 1.-The Voice of Two
Worlds" reveals the story of a re-
markable system that often leads to
almost unbelievable improvement in
power of mind, achievement of bril-
liant business and professional sue
cess and new happiness. Many re-
port improvement in health. Others
tell of increased bodily strength,
magnetic personality, courage and
strength.
The man, a well-known explorer
and geographer, tells how he found
these strange methods in far-of and
mysterious Tibet, often called the
land of miracles by the few travellers
permitted to visit it. He discloses
how he learned rare wisdom and
long hidden practices, closely guard
ed for three thousand years by the
sages, which enabled many to per-
form amazing feats. He maintains
that these immense powers are lat
ent in all of us, and that methods
for using them are now simplified so
they can be used by almost any per-
son with ordinary intelligence.
He maintains thst man, instead of
being limited ~ a one-manpower
mind, has within him the mind
power of thousand men or more as
well as the energy power of the uni
verse which can be used in his daily
affairs. He states that this sleeping

ened, can make him capable Of sur
