Polish Row Casts
Gloom Over Parley
By GEO. RoTHWELL BROWN

SAN FRANCISCO. April "a
Inability of the three great world
powers to reach a solution of the
Polish question in Washington
cast an atmosphere of gloom to-
day over the delegations as
sembled in San Francisco for the
United Nations conference.
Word of the failure Of the
eleventh-hour efforts to affect a
compromise among President
Truman. Secretary Of State Stet-
tinius, British Foreign Minister
Eden and Foreign Commissar
Molotov swept like wildfire
through the hotel headquarters OF
the heads Of governments and
other delegates, who yesterday
had anxiously awaited word from
the capital.
II was not believed that the
conference itself could hope to
accomplish what all the consulta-
tions in Washington since Sunday
had been unable to bring about.

The final decision rested today
with Moscow.
A meeting of the American
delegation yesterday adjourned
with little discussion and no ac-
ton. as its members awaited the
arrival Of its two most important
members, Stettinius and Senator
Connally OF Texas, whose position
as chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee makes him second
in rank on the delegation.
Another meeting Of the repre-
sentatives of the United States
was called for this morning. but
1t was admitted that they would
mark time until the arrival of
Stettinius and Connally.

BY SAMUEL CROWTHER
Written Expressly for the Hearst Newspaper

The prime urgency of the Breton Woods
scheme is due to the discovery by the Russians that
there is money in it for them.
Somewhere along the line-at Teheran or Yalta
they have made getting the money one of the
undisclosed conditions for going along with inter-
nationalists' plan for grandiose world state.
The Russians already have in hand, or on order,
as much of a world state as they can presently
manage They have no objection to being paid
money to have their world state confirmed by such
nations as they have not included in their state.
But when these monetary plans were first
projected Russia was not expected to be in the
picture For Russia long since stopped using money
in the sense that we once knew money.
Lenin printed lot of money and made every
one happy for while by distributing it. He
destroyed the money notion by pouring out so much
of il that il lost its value.
Then he printed what are in fact tickets in
return for work performed
These tickets may be used to buy rationed
amounts of goods-proyided there are any goods
to buy.

followers of Lord Keynes

The projectors of the money scheme that Stain
barged in on were followers of Lord Keynes.
He devised a theory by which government
could print and use money to promote employment
and without running into an imitation such as Lenin
brought on by design.
Keynes Was Bntain's gift to the NeU Deal.
He came on the Washington scene tOhen the
bright young men, led by Harry Hopkins, .Oere
spending money furiousiy and did not know how
to stop.
They were afraid of initiation Keynes told
them that they were sustaining the economy in a
most wholesome way.
He gave them philosophical basis for cheat
ing and thereupon became the leader of the cult
that now dominates the Federal Reserve banks and
the treasury.
The theory as theory is quite intricate. 1t
boils down to saying that the standards of common
honesty which men must follow in their daily inter-
course do not apply to governments.
To be specific: If merchant buys goods and
does not pay for them, he ciu end in bankruptcy
and possibly in JAIL
But if a government does this it can issue a
decree making it illegal for citizens to pay their bills
to foreigners and the default becomes blocked

Became Monetary Experts

The scheme was not gotten up at Breton
Woods by the monetary experts of "A nations.
The plans were written by a couple OF Key
nesian employees of our treasury who became
monetary experts for the occasion.
The conference called at BRETON Woods Uas
limited to ratifyins the plans as written. This Was
fully reported in these columns.
The delegates had a moderately good time,
argued bit and took the plans home to their
respective governments TO Dhat might devslop
All this would be slightly funny, were it not
that the United States by joining in the scheme
would assume liability of about six billion dollars
This works out to levy of about $3.50 on each
American family
The fund is capitalized at $500 million dollars
and of this the "A nations to put up 643 million
dollars in gold and 1857 million dollars in paper
money.
Of the gold the United States puts up 687.5
million dollars while the 43 others put up $3.50
million dollars.
The United States puts up 2,O62.5 million dol
lars in paper money erchangeable for gold.
Put Up Paper Dollars
The others put up 5,094.5-million dollars in
paper dollars not erchangeable for anything.
But these others could exchange their paper
money in the fund for dollars up to Is per cent Of
their quotas in year.
They could thus, if the rules were followed take
out 1902 million dollars during the first year and
the balance on the first day of the second year.
Both the fund and the bank have boards of
governors and of managers and the votes are fixed
by the quotas.
The United States has % per cent of the votes,
the British Commonwealth has 254 per cent and
Russia has 12.4 per cent.
In almost any combination, the United States
will be in the minority.
Thus, as in the security council of the proposed
security plan, the United States can either 60 along
or be controlled. This is important.

SHERIFF SUMMONED

The Staying was discovered by
Bay City contractor who had
been summoned 10 the estate by
Mrs. Smiley to so some repair
work.
He went-to- the lodge about
Q p. m. yesterday and after, re-
ceiving no response TO repeated
knocks summoned Sheriff Judd
Arnold of Mecosta County Arnold
and his deputies found Mrs.
Smiley's body in bed in her own
room.
Mrs. Smiley was the wife OF
CLIFTON Smiley. a wealthy Chicago
manufacturer of dress forms, who
today was on his way TO the scene
Of the tragedy.
CHECK ON MISSING BOY
The sheriff and Sgt. Carl Katke,
charge of the Michigan State
'oice post at Reed City, began
Immediately to check on the move
ments of the missing boy.
They admitted the possibility
that the shooting could have been
an accident, and that the boy may
have become frightened and run
away.
Although the officers were able
to trace the missing youths move
merits through most of Saturday
and until early Sunday, they were
unable to establish whether he had
left, Big Rapids in a bus.
Their information came from
Jimmy Hayes. 16, a schoolmate OF
thesSmiley boy, who was with him
most Of the time Saturday.
HELPED WITH CHORES
The Hayes boy, who lives near
Ecitb Lake. told officers he had
helped James do some chores Sat
urday afternoon.
They parted about S p. m, he
said. but met by agreement about
$50 p. m. and hitchhiked to Big
Rapids. He said they attended
movie together and then spent the
night in the same room at the
Western Hotel.
The Smiley boy, according to his
chuIn, said he was going to take q
trip to Grand Rapids by bus
jimmy Hayes said he left him ir
the hotel lobby. Bus drivers die

missing boy.
Sheriff Arnold said he learned
that James had become discon
tented in southern military
academy and left the school L
ioin his foster mother at Echt
Lake.
The missing youth, adopted b!
the. Smileys when he was l.
months old, is 5 feet s inches tai
and weighs about $50 pounds. H

prices and thereby gave only half Of the goods the
order called for when issued, he would 60 to Jail
as cheat.
But when government does this it is said to
have "devalued its currency"
Merchants who played these tricks could not
continue as merchants in any community which has
yet been discovered.
The Breton Woods scheme consists of two
parts.
The first part is called fund and pretends to
find way in which nations who practice the tricks
above sketched can still trade with one another.
That is, by collective action it pretends to find
substitute for common honesty.
Administration leaders join with the radicals
in calling this substitute collective economic
security"
The other part of the scheme is called a bank.
But it is not bank.
1t is an organization to guarantee the payment
of loans to nations on much the same lines as the
guaranteed real estate mortgages of the boom era.
