Political scribe and Pharisees hereabouts have been amazed lately by the number of tensatlonal International suggestions or which Stata Secretary Hull Is Ignorant. First it was President Roose velt's embryonic Idea, of cettinc ff Al i Mussolini, Hitler, put their spiked "'a shoes under the BtUUC (JCUUQ bUOilj with 210 kicking allowed. Mr. Hull said the prest denv nad never suggested such a thing to him, no. he to the president, and there was abso lutely nothing to It. Now It Is news from Europe thai Washington has put out feelers In formally looking toward a world eco nomic conference. Mr. Hull Ignored the news when It first came from Paris. But when both the A. P. and U. P. reported the same thing a few days later from an official British spokesman In London, Mr. Hull took his denial pen In hand again. In a few carefully chosen words, Mr. Hull announced he had never heard rf the matter, that It had been given no consideration here. Off hand. It would appear : that many people are letting their inter national Imaginations run loose, or else the man In charge of foreign af fairs Is not keeping up with latest New Deal thought on his subject. Nei ther conclusion is warranted. Mr. Hull knows everything that Is going on In ' American- " International relations; 1 HTi!f 1 1 . t.w likewise, the published stories were based on direct Information, rather than Imaginings. Only worthwhile explanation of the paradox apparently la that, while Mr. Hull Is still in charge of International si foreign affairs somebody else has taken charge of domestic foreign af fairs. While Mr. Hull may now deny it, there is a rather general belief that domestic presidential campaign Is In progress. Indeed, there la a sus picion that an unofficial branch of Mr. Hull's department has been open ed, figuratively, at Democratic na tional headquarters In New York. At uny rate, Democratic authorities, from Mr. Roosevelt on down, have been stressing all subjects relating to for eign affairs. That Is an Issue they are keeping uppermost in the public , mind. It la the one Issue on which rhey. 'believe they have the Republl - "tana speechless. They would like to .. keep hitting It daily, like Woodrow ' Wilson hit "he kept us out of war," In 1916, and they have been doing quite well so far. Those who wtnt an accurate size tip of the International situation had therefore better string along with Mr. hull, rather than with what the pres- ldent "has In mind" or what some Continued on Page Eight ) AUGUST BANK CLEARINGS SET PORTLAND RECORD PORTLAND, Sept. 1.

I MEXICO IS BELIEF OF FOIST RANGER FORI The Brlte brothers, John and Coke, sought In the Siskiyou mountains as triple murderers, "will hit out for Old Mexico the first good chance they get," in the opinion of Lee Port, forester In charge of the Star ranger station In the Little Applegate coun try. Ranger Port Is well acquainted with tho Brlte brothers. They form erly lived In that section and at one time were employed by the forest service as laborers. The Brlte brothers and parents came to the Little Applegate frQm Texas along the Rio Grande border. Ranger Port said. "The Brlte brothers were good workers and aa pleasant men as you could meet," said Port, "but when drunk they were 'bad hombres They know the hills and are good shots. "It always seemed to me that John was the more quarrelsome," Port said. "He would start a fight, and then Coke would help finish it." Harold Reed, a resident of Jack sonville, now employed as a forest lookout, was once assaulted by the Brlte brothers In Jacksonville, and beaten by them. Reed swore out a warrant against them and they were found guilty and fined In justice court. ' 1 OAKLAND, Calif., Sept.
