PICKARD HEN Secretary of the Treasury Mellon In a recent letter to | President Hibben of Princeton uni- versity stated that “all our principal debtors are already receiving from | Germany more than enough to pay their debts to the United States”™ there was Immediate protest in Eng- jand against the accuracy of the | statement In so far as it applied to | Great Britain. Chancellor of the Ex- chequer Churchill and others made heated speeches, but it was not sup- posed that the government would take formal notice of the matter, Last week, however, Washington wns surprised to teceive from Great Britain a long note attacking Mr. Mellon's letter and asking that the United States government “take steps to remove the unfortunate Impres- slon that has been created by the is sue of this statement.” Secretary of State Kellogg ferred with President Coolidge and others and then handed to the Brit i {sh ambassador this decidedly curt | reply: “The government of the United States regards the correspondence be. tween Mr, Mellon and Mr. Hibben a purely domestic discussion and does not desire to engage in any formal diplomatic exchanges upon the sub- joet™ Mr. Mellon, belleving the attacks In the British note should not go unan- swered, gave out a statement justi fying and explaining at length the position he has taken in the discus sion. Diplomatic circles In London were as much surprised by the British note as was Washington. In government opposition circles there was an in clination to suspect that the note was meant largely for home consumption and for the benefit of the Conserva- tive party, which has difficulty in ex- plaining the budget deficit. con- fs MERICAN correspondents in Ge- neva say that the underlying idea of all delegations (except the American) at the League of Nations economic conference which opened last week Is that the most practical step toward world reconstruction and | general prosperity would be the can- cellation of all war debts and repa- rations Some of them also had schemes for the Hmitation of produc. tion of wheat, corn, cotton, copper and other goods, chiefly produced In | the United States. The American delegates, hended by Henry M. Rob- ingson of Los Angeles, were primed to | meet all such suggestions. Soviet Russia, having settled her quarrel | with Switzerland, sent a bunch of | economists led by Valerian Ossinskl | That gentleman sald they would sab. | mit “eoncrete proposals to alleviate | the difficulties of the bourgeoisie | world and give a full report on what | was accomplished In Soviet Russian.” M. Theunis of Belgium is presiding | over the conference and 50 nations I are represented, The conference will adopt resolutions and make recom. mendations, which, however, will not be binding on the countries repre. sented, whatever may be the attitude of thelr delegations, —— FACTS and problems of commerce and trade on the Western conti nent were brought out and discussed in Washington where both the third Pan-American commercial congress and the annual meeting of the Cham: per of Commerce of the United States were In session, President Cooll was chief speaker at a joint of the two bodies and set forth the development of trade between the United States and the countries of Central and South America. He sald that not only has the United States purchased more from Latin-American sountries than it has sold to them, but it had for a long time been the chief foreign purchaser of their products. Next day the Chamber of Commerce heard reports from the principal see- tions of the country, all showing pres ent prosperity with prospect of Its continuance, except In the case of the farmer. His plight, in the Middle West and the ecottop-growing part of the South, was described as discourag- ing. LOOD conditions In southeastern Arkansas, northeastern Loulsiana and western Migsissippl grew worse steadily during the week. The water, pouring through new crevasses on the Mississippl, lnundated a region about 5,000 square miles In extent, only a few narrow ridges being left above the surface, Most of the population already had been gathered at concen tration points, but many hundreds were left stranded on the levees and small high places, The rescue of these unfortunates was being carried on as rapidly as possible, being directed by the scores of nuvy aviators sent there by the government. . Civilian Dictator Parker was In general charge of the rescue operations and was doing splendid work. Secretary Hoover re- turned to Washington long enough to report to the President, and the re- sult was a call for another $5,000,000 subscription to the Red Cross rellef fund. The spread of disease In the flooded states was the cause of great anxiety and of such precautions as could be taken. “We have definite reports of 20 cases of typhold fever In the refugee camps, and there probably are many others,” sald Dr. Willlam R. Redden, medical director for the American Red “And the worst part of the health problem is to come in a week or ten days, when the disease has had an opportunity to manifest it- self The health problem will Increase as the waters recede” A hundred thousand persons immunized with typhoid and smallpox antitoxin, and the Red Cross obtained from the army ten mobile laboratories for the purification of water, President Coolidge has indicated that he did not think It necessary to call a special session of congress for providing for relief and rehabilitation in the Mississipp! valley. Senators Copeland of New York and La Fol lette of Wisconsin disagreed with him and both of them appealed to him by wire to call congress togetheg They asserted that funds from private re- sources would not be sufficient that the flood victims were entitled to look to congress for assistance, When Mr. Hoover returned from the capital he was accompanied by Secretary of War Davis, who was asked by the President to make a comprehensive study of the problem of flood control, In conjunction with the army engineers, and to submit recommendations for remedial legis lation prior to the opening of the next congress, A floodcontrol conference also was held at Peoria, Il, with nu- merous experts and officials In attend- ance. The people of the Middle West are so aroused by this disaster, de- scribed by Senator La Follette as the greatest In our history, that the na- tional and state governments may be led at last to provide adequate pro tection against a repetition, Patch. work measures and dilatory tactics in the past have combined to make unified flood control impossible, ac- cording to those who have studied the gubject. The federal government ls held primarily responsible. —— * INETY- FOUR men were entombed in the Everettville mine near Fairmont, W.

A number of the general's staff declared that If the United States formally ordered the liberals to lay down thelr arms and cease fir- ing. they would be compelled to ac- cept. But, he added, s0 long as the United States attempted to lay down terms, which included the continu- ance of Diaz In office, the liberals would fight for “constitutionality and Justice for Nicaragua” ARSHAL CHANG TSO-LIN'S Pe king goverment executed the Chinese Reds caught In the raid on the Russien embassy grounds, and the other day It was reported that the Russian propagandists nabbed at the time were to be tried by court-mar- tial. The Moscow goverument there. fore transmitted Peking a strong note warning Chang that if the Ras glans received the same sentence as the Chinese Communists, Russia would “immediately take the Inevitable steps.” The trials were postponed and a confercuce of Chinese officials was held at which, according ro- mor, it was decided that the Russians should be deported Mme, Michael Borodine, the captured wife of the So- viet adviser to the gov. ernment, presumably will have a sep arate trial Miles Lampson, British minister to China, has reported to his government that the Hankow faction of the Can. toncse has offered 1o oust Reds and make common cause with the Nanking moderates if the powers will further action against it.
