PICKARD AMSAY MAC DONALD, new prime minister of planning to come to the United States to confer with Hoover, in regard to naval armament re- duction and the Kellogg pact outlawing war by Joint action of the English speaking peoples. In Washington the news of this plan was well received, and it was learned at the White House that Mr. Hoover would be glad to meet Mr. MacDonald nd discuss with him questions of mu- tural countries, American Ambassad: on his way to England, was apprised of this development by radio and mediately er his arrival in he went to Scot for a « with the prime minister who was tak- ing a ten days’ vacation at his home in Lossiemouth. Mr. Dawes was ex- pected to deliver to Mr. MacDonald an invitation to Washinzton and hold there a conference Presi- dent Hoover and Prime Minister Mae- kenzie King of Canada. The best guess in London was that the trip would be made about the end of July after the ad- Journs, According to London ecorespond- ents, Mr. MacDonal id: “If Presi dent Hoover invites to Washing- ton I am going to answer ‘I will go.’ 1 shall hope to settle this question of Anglo-American rel and for all.” It was asserted he hopes to carry the much further than naval subjects, He believes the world is entering an era of great fndustrial and financial combines w hose cut across all national frontiers, and he is desirous of a discussion on economic co-opera- tion and avoidance of cut-throat com- petition in foreign markets.

In this step the Democrats were joined by 13 Republicans, all listed as radicals except Couzens of Michigan. The debenture advocates pot only stood by their scheme, but they were especially determined to force the house to go on record on this feature of the measure. President Hoover immediately called tenders of the house and senate to the White House and a program was agreed upon. This was to send the bill back to conference as the senate asked, and to have the conferees agree on their original report, after which it was expected the house would reject the debenture plan by a comfortable margin and accept the conference report. There appeared to be no doubt that the senate also would adopt the report of the conference after the house had rejected the de- penture by a vote of 250 to 113. The most interesting feature of the affair was the outspoken threat of Senator Brookhart of Jowa that a third or “progressive” party would enter Into the congressional campaign next year and the Presidential ecam- palgn of 1932 if the debenture were not included in either the farm bill or the new tariff bill, He asserted the President rather than the senate was to blame for delays in obtaining farm legislation, Tariff hearings were begun by the senate finance committee, and Senator Wesley Jones told the senate this work should be speeded up with a view to completing the evactment of the legislation early in the fall, and there a brief time. But Senator Watson, majority leader, expressed the belief that the tariff bill could not be finally reg acted before the ular December session. upon until just §iRasone of the Young plan for J German reparations payments by the seven interested nations Is result in the post-war prol League of Nations and the plan o nging matter of speedy way of other lems. cil of the Madrid, helr met before it of Frend i early evacuation thin Arist foreign minister, ternational summer for the standin war, and this was Gustay Stresemann, of foreign affairs.

When a writer began a volume the choice of subjects was easy-—there were but seven; theology, philosophy, medicine, logic, grammar, history and Canon law, Perhaps that is why there were so few books. The libraries were little frequented, and perhaps that was because patrons had to stand up to read. On no ace count could anyone take a book home, for all volumes were chained to tha' stall in which they were kept. Even college libraries did not offer very exe tensive reading.
