That conference is to be followed by others between the President and the heads of other nations. All are pre- liminary to the World Economic Conference to be held in London in June, and the object of these many preliminary conferences is to find common ground of agreement so as to assure the success of the world gathering -to follow. . . ‘ As Ramsay MacDonald said upon his arrival at New York, President Roosevelt and himself, who, he believed, were in harmony of spirit regarding all great world causes, were getting together to explore the problems that have to be dealt with and endeavour to find formulas for their solution. That is, Ramsay MacDonald, a life-long advocate of peace between nations in the sense that there should not be physical warfare, is now striving with might and main to bring about peace between the nations in an economic sense, ‘and to endeavour to overcome to the fullest extent possible, the economic damage done to the world as the result of the last Great War. In President Roosevelt he finds a man of the same spirit imbued with determination. At the time of writing, pap from ton indi- cate that, although the conferences between these two great leaders of the English-speaking world are not finally concluded, it is the universal belief that y ag s have been reached on all the major problems, and common ground of action decided upon when the World Economic Conference assembles. Furthermore, that Great Britain and the United States will now unitedly endeavour to secure the acceptance of these views by other nations. ’ It is stated that these world leaders believe they have found formulas for the solution of existing world problems and the ending of the depression which has affected the world for the past three or four years. These solu- tions it is frankly recognized cannot be brought about by any one nation, or even by two or three nations, because the problems are international and world-wide in extent and in their application. It is further recognized that betterment of existing conditions cannot be achieved by solving one or two of universally recognized problems; rather that action must be taken in re- gard to a whole series of matters all more or less correlated to each other, with one interlocking into another. This is not to say that Premier and President have decided that the whole existing economic system of the world must be replaced by some en- tirely new system. It does mean that they recognize the fact that, while monetary systems, international finance, systems of exchange, war debts and reparations, tariffs, trade quotas and embargoes; production and distribu- tion of commodities of all kinds; world armaments, etc., all have a bearing and effect on the one great problem, the basic cause of the world’s troubles, and therefore the ultimate solution, is not to be found in any one of these things, but to a greater or lesser extent in all of them. Aiding Salvation Army Dutch Indies Have Issued Stamps To Help Work The new charity stamps of the Dutch Indies have attracted a great deal of interest, for they are the first stamps ever issued in aid of the Sal- vation Army. In Java and other re- mote parts of the Dutch Indies, the Salvation Army is largely r Cannot Eliminate All Advertising Over Radio Canadian System Must Compromise Opinion Of British Official Gladstone Murray, public relations officer of the British Broadcasting Corporation, made a spirited attack on opponents of public service broad- casting. Mr. Murray, who is*spending several weeks in Canada as adviser to the Federal Broadcasting Com- mission, spoke to the Toronto Empire Club. While not suggesting United States radio programs at their best were in- ferior to those of Great Britain, the speaker insisted that program build- ing under the sponsored advertising principle was increasingly more diffi- cult than under the license system employed in the United Kingdom. He dealt particularly with the fin- ance of broadcasting, contending that, far from being a charge on public funds, it was, in fact, a potential source of substantial profit. “T have too much knowledge of my own country, Canada,” he continued, “to suggest that it should adopt a copy of the British or any other ing service. C here are so different that the B.B.C, could not be copied, even if that were de- sirable. z “A vast area, a comparatively small and scattered population—these are not the conditions which, in these hard times ,admit the elimina- tion of advertising from broadcast- ing. It seems to me that while the ideal everywhere should be the reduc- tion of advertising to a minimum, there is at present the necessity for compromise gnd this as I understand it, is the policy of the Commission.” for the care and education of the na- tive children, the management of hos- pitals and work among the lepers. That is the reason why this great in- stitution is represented on these stamps. The Dutch name for Salvation Army is “Leger des Hells.’ This ap- pears on each stamp and also the Salvation Army crest in the two low- er corners. The set consists of four stamps, and each stamp depicts the various handicraft that are taught the natives, The central subject of each design is in brown, and the re- mainder of the design in the follow- ing colors; Two-cent. violet; five-cent., sage-green; twelve and a half cents, rose, fifteen-cent., blue. Quite Out Of Date Modern War Moving From Chivalry To Chemicals An article by E. M. Forster, in the Spectator, London, says: The sword, the bayonet, the rifle, the cannon are all anachronisms and will soon only survive in a military tattoo. The de- struction they caused was local and so the sentiments connected with them are out of date. In the war of the future destruction will be univer- sal, Bacterial bombs as well as pois- on gas will fall from the sky, the dis- tinction between combatants and non- combatants will disappear, women and id will be as suitable a tar- They are not approaching world problems as t ists, but as p men of affairs, leaders of their people, world leaders of experience, deter- mined, as Ramsay MacDonald says,” to clear the obstacles which block the highways of trade, both within our own countries and between the nations, and so restore the hope of employment to the workless millions who look to earn their living in factory and field.” Therefore, to the extent that existing monetary systems and interna- tional methods of finance and exchange present obstacles along the high- ways of trade they must be altered; not destroyed, but improved so as to facilitate greater freedom of exchange and render a maximum of service to the world. So, too, in regard to tariffs, quotas, embargoes, trade restrictions of all kinds. They are not seeking to bring about world free trade, which is P ly ible, but to and promote, rather than discourage and restrict, trade between nations without doing damage to the interests of any; in a word, to develop mutually advantageous reciprocal exchange of commodities. Likewise, to deal with war debts, reparations, armaments in the same spirit and in order to achieve a like result. War debts cannot all be cancelled, reparations abandoned in toto, complete disarmament effected, ‘ut the obstacles erected by these things across the trade highways of the world can be largely removed. Bringing the leading statesmen and heads of nations together in this spirit, and with such an object in view, is, we repeat, a momentous event in the world’s history. International conferences, world conferences, for the ex- change of national views and the exposition of national needs for friendly ination and of op it viewpoints, policies and interests, and approaching problems which are the concern of all in a conciliatory spirit, is the sane, sensible, businesslike and Christian attitude. It is con- structive, not destructive. It is practical, not impossibly Utopian. It offers hope of success, because it is not narrowly selfish but accords consideration and fair play to all. Londoners have an average life span of 50 years. TIRED AND IRRITABLE? Take Lydia E.

This is just a bit of routine, but it composes a perfect setting for the withered, tired face of the man within the limousine. For the face is that of Sir Basil Zaharoff, for more than a generation romanticized throughout the world for his mysterious financial ramifica- tions, and his amazing genius to sell armaments—to sell them on a big scale, to equip entire countries for war. He became a multi-millionaire. He always was an amazing figure, one of those European anomolies created out o fthe blood of many nations, with intrigue in his veins, aristo- cratic charm in his features, and at least ten languages on his tongue. But today, Sir Basil is just a tired, old man.

Mansion Turned Into Flats Former Home Of English Duke Cost Over Two. Million Costly ducal mansion, once the home of the Duke and. Duchess of Marlborough, is to be turned into resi- dential flats. Known as Sunderland House, Mayfair, it was built in 1895 at a cost of $2,500,000 by W. K. Van- derbilt, American millionaire, when his daughter Consuelo married the Duke of Marlborough. The famous ballroom, eighty-nine feet by twenty, and twenty-seven feet high, is claim- ed to be the finest in Mayfair. It cost $250,000 and has marble pilasters, a painted ceiling, and a musicians’ gal- lery. It is recorded that 350 couples have danced there. The thirty-two bedrooms are to be divided into flats, ranging from single rooms for bach- elors to suites of four or five rooms.
