SUt Secretary Hull did not explain what he meant recently by those strangely harsh and undiplomatic words against certain chiseling na tions. He did not ha've to. Every diplomatic Insid er; here knew .what he was talk ing about. There la one small nation In central Europe which Increased Its tariff duties In prepar a 1 1 o n for tariff bar I gaining with us. Two South Amer ican republics made similar moves In the same di rection. Mr. Hull found out about these tricks, and, before Issuing his ex plosion against the "Indefensible practice of padding the price." he took the matter up with these three nations in private. They agreed to stop auch tactics and nothing got out about it. Therefore, when Mr. Hull Issued his blast against -the chlselers. there ac tually was no chiseling then In the wind. If there had been, he could not have used such strong language without causing offense. However, he thought this was a rery good time to speak his mind for the effect it would have on some of the larger nations, two of them In particular. raol MalJon Dutch Team Seems Assured Second Money In' Dis tance Derby Americans' Probably In Third Place Two brothers who are foremost among American brewers strolled Into Treasury Secretary Morgenthau's of fice the other day with troubled looks on , their faces. r. .They were . worried about monetary uncertainty and wondered what Mr. Morgenthau waa ' going bO do about the dollar. Of course Mr. Morgenthau never tell anyone what he is going to do about the dollar, even when he knows. Warily he replied by asking the brewing brothers about their business. They agreed it never had a higher collar on It, even In pre-prohl-bltlon days. "Well, said Mr. Morgenthau, "what do you care what I do about the dol lar as long as you are making more of them now?" They agreed that, perhaps, there waa something In that view, explain ing they would never have asked about the matter except that they had been told by some business asso ciates that Mr. Morgenthau might do something about the dollar which would make people stop drinking beer. They went home with their uncertainty allayed. There Is a gene-al public Impres sion that Donald Rlchberg has suc ceeded General Johnson as the strong man of the NRA. That Is not the situation. If you could look In on the oval room at the White House these days you would see In a minute that Roosevelt alone has become the new muacle man of the Blue Eagle. He la handling everything down to utmost detail. As an example the other day the NRA board called on him. Afterward It waa announced they were Just go ing over the reorganization plans. What actually happened was that the board could not agree on the phrase ology of an executive order which will be Issued shortly. The president ar bitrated the dispute and wrote the language to be used in the order. That will be the way on every point In development of new NRA policy. The boards have orders that, if they are unable to agree unanimously, the Issue should be taken to the presi dent, and everyone knows the boards rarely will be able to agree on any thing Important, The nazls are developing a sense of humor. Apparently they have decided to laugh off that public demand made by Congressman MacCormack for the recall of the German ambas sador, Hans Luther, because of Luth era pro-nazl activities. The charge Is not taken very wrt ously by our state department people. They know Luther Is not much of a nasi enthusiast, recalling that the nails forced him out of the presi dency of the relehsbank and sent hlra over her because he was not exactly of their Ilk. Ordinarily Luther would have come running dewn to the state department as soon as he heard the MacCormack charge, but everyone wn glad he paid no attention to It. The treasury Is watching Tery closely the results of the house-to-house salesmanship campaign In be half of the 3 per cent home mortgage bonds. It really la a test of the plan to sell government recovery bonds that way and the experience gstned from It may largely determine wheth er a treasury bond sale will he attempted. MUer Nrw YORK. Ort. 33. I API Bar llpf eteadj, uflC$il at fM, . MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 23 ff) Two exhausted Englishmen land ed their monoplane here this after non to end one of the most astound ing flights in history. Charles W. A. Scott, 31, and bis partner, Tom Campbell Black, 35, won the a&o.ooo speed race to Melbourne and In doing so set a new record for long distance flights. In a drizzling rain their Comet plane crossed the finish line at 3:34 p. m.j (12:34 a. m. eastern standard time), 70 hours, 59 minutes and 50 seconds out of Mildenhall airdrome, England. Back of them was scattered a field of outstanding pilots, most of them badly beaten In the ambitious 11.323 mile race halfway around the world. Dutch Second. The Dutch team of K. D. Parmen tier and J. J. Moll, which kept atub bornly In pursuit of the pace-setting Britons, appeared assured of second Disc. They danded at Albury at 1:20 a. m. today (10 a. m. eastern, atandard time, Tuesday) af frr miles northeast of Melbourne.. Colonel Roacoe Turner snd Clyde Pangborn crossed the Timor sea and reached Port Darwin at 1:50 a. m. They were delayed there by oil trou ble but hopped off for Charlevllle at 3:41 a. m., holding third place. "It was a lousy trip, snd that la praising It," said Scott aa newspaper men swarmed about him for inter views. The trip cut by more than two thirds theTecord for a flight to Aus tralia. Scott and Black, former Brit ish army and navy fliers, respectively, averaged 1785 miles an hour flying time, and 160 mllca an hour for total elapsed time. They used a British plane (De Havlland Comet with a Gipsy VI motor). Welcomed by Throng. More than 30.000 persons gathered to welcome the fllera at Laverton air drome, after they had crossed the finish line at Plemlngton field. Both filers were greatly fatigues, and hardly able to stand when thsy pushed open the cowling of their machine and climbed down Into the arms of Joyous friends. . All Scott could do was to smile wearily. Temporary deafness robbed them of the enjoyment of the shout ed cheers and congratulations. They were guided through the crowd to s hangar where they were given nour lshment. Scott tried to make a speech, but It wss Impossible to hear word he said, so great waa the din. Returning to Flemlngton raw course, where the official finish line is. the filers were paraded down the straightaway In an automobile for an official welcome by the chief secre tary of Victoria, the Lord Mayor of Melbourne and Sir MacPherson Rob ertson, candy manufacturer who pro moted the race. Race Seemed Long. "It seems to me we started the race some five centuries ago," Scott ex claimed in a husky voice. "With every mile on the last lap to Mel bourne (from Charlevllle) It seemed we slipped back two. "I do not adequately realize I am here. Thla paper In my hand tell me that I am, so It must be so. The press never Ilea." Smiling wanly, he said. "I must stop talking too much. As you can hear, my voice has gone husky from the atrsln we have undergone." "Neither of us got a wink of sleep on this trip." he sdded. "We had to be on the Job with the plane all the time. We were feeling pretty done on the run but I feel better now that we are here. "We do wish to thank the people here for the marvelous welcome they have given us all the way across Aus tralia." feat Lauded. Sir MacPherson. addressing the tr!

Oct. 33. (AP) The stratosphere flight of the Jean Pic cards ended this afternoon In a tree top of the farm of John Fulton, four miles west of here, near the Pike Peak school house. Neither Dr. Pla card nor his wife Jeanette, who made the flight from Detroit with him, was Injured and the sensitive Instru ments they carried with them were landed without damage. The balloon itself came to rest In a tree top on the John Fulton farm near the school house. A farm woman, who witnessed the descent, said ao far as she could see the balloon and gondola were not damaged badly. Mrs. Plccard, on landing, said: "The flight was a success." Mrs. Plccard, engaged In unravel ing the huge bag. had little time to go Into details. "We did not know where we were," she said. "We had no radio com munication of any kind after 8 a. m, Our last radio contact waa with the Detroit airport by short wave. "We were not cold at any tlms. The aun waa shining brightly all the time. We saw nothing of earth until we landed.' Coming down In a woods, the bag fell several feet, but lt waa believed the instruments were undamaged.

The farm upon which they came down Is known as the John Haverfleld farm, It Is a very Inaccessible part of the country and five miles from a main road. , . LGI WASHINGTON, Oct. 33. (API President Roosevelt says every good citizen should ease government's re lief burden by giving what he can to private charity. The president made a radio appeal last night In behalf of the 1934 mob ilization for human needs, headed by Newton D. Baker. He stressed two points. "The first." ha said, "la that the federal government state governments and local governments are all of them bearing an unusually heavy load of expenditures for relief and employment purposes a load so heavy that every good cltlr.en should seek to lighten it in every way possi ble." "The other point I would make", he said, "Is that none of ua want to eliminate the personal factor In tak ing care of human needs. Surely none of you want to centralise the care of relief either In Washington or In your state capital or In your city hall." Piccards Make Safe Landing W. 0 T. U.
