They were perfectly One hundred per cent." Asked about the cause of the accident, Blomquist replied: "The antenna iced up a short time before we landed. That's all I know about it. The receiving set probably 'went out'." Merrill had been flying above the storm from Washington northward and descended to about 1,500 feet al. titude when he almost hit the cliff. The crackup was half a mile beyond.

Blomauist was the man of the a nour. He got the passengers out of the plane until the danger was past, built a fire in the rain from lunch boxes and branches knocked down by the plane, and then made his double trip to Port Jervis. The rescue party set out with two policemen, a dozen firemen, Dr. William Scholtz and Postmaster Thomas Conmy, who took charge of the mail.

Their craft fell against the side of a mountain near Milford, and burned. )he bodies were found two days later after the wreckage had been located from the air.

Mrs. Simpson, escorted by Mrs. Rogers, stepped into the gardens and welcomed each visitor with a warm greeting and a firm handclasp.

Her callers were presented by Rogers. She seemed to be 11 excellent health a and spirits and completely composed. Her only sign of nervousness was an occasional daubing ol her lips with her handkerchief. She proved to be a witty conversationalist and 8 good listener. When she asked courteous questions concerning her guests, RS she did frequently, she waited for the answers as though intensely interested.

Her costume was an agreeable combination of blues and browns. She wore A tight-fitting sky-blue sport skirt and a an open -throated brown plaid packet over a deep blue Her aligator skin oxfords had pull sweater. medium height walking heels. A brooch she wore at the neck of her sweater resembled the threefeathered insignia of former King Edward when he was the Prince of Wales. It was An arrangement of alternating light and dark blue petals and WAS complemented by earrings to match.

She wore one broad ring covered with sparkling stones and a gold chain bracelet from which dangled six little emerald and amethyst crosses, Her lips were scarlet butt her fingernails were not tinted.

This is a misunderstanding The memorandum stated both sides of the argument, that 18 the British and Japanese on the one hand. the German on the other, only in order to reject both claims and to propose the American view, that is to say President Wilson's own view.

This be found in the conclusion of the memorandum, and it WAS that colonial power acta not AS owner of Its colonies but as for the natives and for the Interests of the society of nations" "that they should not be militarized that exploitation should be conducted on the principle of the Open Door that the terms on which the colonial administration is conducted are matter of international concern." It 1g quite certain that what President Wilson had in mind Was not the return of the colonies to Germany nor their seizure by the conquering powers but the Institute tion of the mandates which Inaugurated in the peace treaty were entrusted to the League of Nations. There no warrant in the text for the idea that President Wilson re promised Germany, or had any idea of promising her. the recovery of her colontal empire. He had wholly different intention. It WAR to use the territory taken from GermAny and Turkey A.S an experiment designed to put all end to All colonial imperialism.

What he really wanted was to terminate gradually the whole colontal business, to treat backward countries as trusta administered by powers accountable to the society of nations, and he meant that these trusts should be administered on the principle of the Open Door to all nations and in order to prepare the natives for sell -government. So, it Dr. Schacht 1s to appeal to the Wilson principles, the proper place to make that plea 1.4 At Geneva, Let him go there and AAk Britain and Japan for an accounting on their mandates. Let him radar the question there whether the powers are administering their mandates on the principles of the Open Door. From Wilson's point of view.

he will find plenty to complain about In certain of the mandated territortes. But, with Germany outside the League. Dr. Schacht can hardly say that the United states which 18 also outside the League, has a moral obligation to carry out the Wilson principles which depend absolutely upon the League, This 1s not said contentiously. Por there are certain implications in Dr Schacht's article which suggest that he, at least, would be willing to adjust Germany's colonial demands within the framework of the Wilson principles.

It is noteworthy that he does not ask for "sovereignty, army, police, that he asks only for economic management and inclusion In the German monetary system; in short, for something akin to a mandate But that, of course. would mean that Germany returned to the League, and accepted once again all that membership in the League 1m- plies. Whether Dr. Schacht la prepared to RO that far, or could hope to carry with him the Nazi regime if he wanted to. A crucial matter on which he throws no light.

Obviously, he cannot speak perfect freedom. But when he says, "Belleve me, my American friends, when MY that this German people is still the Nate people that gave the world Luther and It is not difficult to read between the lines LOYALISTS TURN BACK FASCISTS ON TWO FRONTS Please Turn To Page Twelve) mated its Iceses In recent operations at 500 An compared to 2,000 for the fascists.
