DOCTOR FASHIONS
 WOODEN LEG FOR
 CRIPPLED MOOSE
Calf Learning 10 Walk al Anchorage Farm of
 Dr. Romig

Dr. J. H. Romig of Anchorage to- day was granted special permission by the Alaska Game Commission to keep in captivity a female calf moose probably the only moose in the world with wooden leg.
 The moose, about three weeks old when it was rescued from a shelf on the bank of the Yentna River last week, owes it's life to it's rescuers, to an airplane pilot and to Dr. Ro- mig.
 Don Harbaugh and Max Shella- barger found the waif mile be- low the mouth of the Skwentna river it's right front leg broken and dang ling by only thread of flesh. They cut off the leg, carried the whim- pering moose to their boat in a tarpaulin and fed it birch and willow leaves and milk at Shellabarger's ranch.
 Coyotes Blamed
 Wildlife Agent Jack O'Connor, re- porting on the case to Frank Du- fresne, Executive Officer of the Game Commission, said trampled prints on the river bank indicated the moose calf and her mother had been attacked by coyotes. The moth- CT had disappeared.
 Pilot Bert Ruoff flew the moose to Anchorage, where Dr. Romig vol unteered to fashion a peg leg, fasten it to the knee stump and teach the young moose to walk. Dr. Romig is caring for the moose at his farm on the Lake Spenard Highway out of Anchorage. There the calf is fattening up on from eight to ten quarts of milk daily.
 O'Connor reported the moose cried when it was being carried and when a sling holding it's leg was being ad- justed, but that at other times it stood contentedly. The calf would have died if not picked up by the boatmen, he said, as the river was rising at the time and would soon have drowned the animal.

 Crisis Settlement
(By Associated Press)

British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, speaking today in the House of Commons after British charges of a new stripping incident at Tientsin were received, said he had some reason to hope" that dis cussions in Tokyo would lead to a settlement of the Far Eastern dis pute with Japan.
 Chamberlain said he held out hope" and did not want to make any statement which might preju- dice prospects for satisfactory settlement in the present crisis in China"
 Another Stripping Act
 The Prime Minister spoke after the Foreign Affairs committee and the British Cabinet discussed the Far Eastern situation which is high lighted by the case of a British sub ject and his wife who said they were forced by Japanese sentries to lndress at the entrance of the for eign area in Tientsin now in the thirteenth day of the blockade by the British and French concessions.
 D. A. Finlay, a Britisher, was forced to strip naked and his wife was forced to undress down to her girdIe before the Japanese sentries who made insulting remarks during the strip act.
 The Japanese spokesman at Tien- tsin, according to Major Herbert, said the case will not be investigated because the principle of such case" could not happen.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-24

Credit Men, declared this noon be- lore the luncheon meeting of the Connecticut State Credit Confer ence here at the Race Brook Coun- try club. Delegates from Hartford and Waterbury were in attendance.
 War hurts business" the credit manager emphasized. "The world wide business depression since 1929 should be sufficient evidence of this for the majority of the troubles we have had, resulted from maladjust- ments brought on by the World war.
 Tt is less than q years since the armistice and yet today we some times hear that business could bene- fit from war"
 Business in fact is already stim- ulated by the rearmament prepara- tions which have paralleled the re- current war threats in Europe, the credit executive pointed out. And this business stimulus from rear mament, both in this country and abroad, is artificial and unhealthy in his opinion.
 Credit and War
 Discussing the effects of war upon credit conditions, Hr. Heimann told tho gathering that "the diversion of so much credit for the past war caused resort to many of the na- tionalistic tendencies that underlie the basis of the present conflict. Once the normal course of trade is interrupted we are on the road back to barter. Closely associated with barter are the bilateral pacts which in effect, exclude natural distribu- tion areas. Nations under these agreements confine and restrict trcde between themselves through individual exchange regulations.
 "The war having impoverished nations and broken down the in- ternational monetary system, barter and bilateral trade pacts seem to offer solution to the trade prob lem. However, 1t is only a matter of time until retaliation and a general confusion of trade ensues. This throws the worlds commerce into disorder.
 Free flow of commerce make it possible to make available through out the world the greatest num- Der of units of goods at the lowest price, where and when needed. Bar ter and bilateral pacts, however, re- strict these opportunities. Thereby some of the monopolistic character- istics found in do estic operations become evident with the result that not only the contracting countries but also others suffer.
 Redistribute Gold?
 "The question arises as to how this country can help reverse the trend to war. Much of the basis of the trouble abroad is monetary and credit deficiencies. We have most of the worlds supply of gold. Were there any indication of a moral re- awakening in Europe towards obli- gations we could probably do more than the rest of the world combined to bring about stability and peace
