fiy Ui» Associated I*rt**#.
Three premiers of Europe -Poincare
of France, Baldwin of Great Britain
and Mussolini of Italy—were promi
nent in the biggest news that Easter
week brought to the world from tin*
foreign capital*.
M. Poincare announced that a re
vision of Germany's reparations would
be acceptable to France, such as would
permit Germany to put her bonds
guaranteeing reparation payments un
der the Dawes plan on the market,
so that the money thus raised would
pay off the war debts ail around,
Stanley Baldwin announced in the
House of Commons removal of the re
strictions on the export of rubber from
Malaya and Ceylon. Abolition of the
restriction* will come on November 1
next, and will ihus meet (he conten
tion In the United States that no
such restrictions should have endured
so long,
Benito Mussolini, with ft suddenness
that surprised even his own Fascists,
proceeded to Milan, where he had long
conferences wlih Tew flit Itushdt Hey,
Turkey’s foreign minister, and M
Mlehalokopottlim, f lie Greek foreign
minister, lie also is down lor a talk
with M Zaieskl, head of the Polish
foreign office and these conversations
have been Hie subject of much specu
lation.
Italy is reaching out fpr expansion
of trade. Hhe wants more opportuni
ties in Africa, and in Turkey and Rus
sia, and as the Italian premier's move
ments are usually of much moment to
the world at large, the other powers
are reported to be watching events
In Milan closely, with a conference of
the little entente nations. Ktimaniu,

Along with Poincares reparations

in conference for a long time with the
Italian finance minister, finiint Volpl.
Mr Gilbert himself said that he was
engaged merely pi '‘routin'* business,"
b!*t aria routine k believed to have tu
ido with some new form of reparation
settlement. The German ffnanca min

'should have toll and complete inde
pendence with the blunt reply that the
welfare and integrity of Egypt was nec
essary to the peace and safety of the
British Empire and would be maintained
by the declaration of 1922, which is now
repeated. Britain, while recognising
Egyptian independence, reserves the
tight to maintain British troops there

CANCER RESEARCH
' PLAN STUDIED HERE
Leaders in Field Gather to
Co-ordinate Work and
End Duplication.
Plans for an organized attack on can
cer. with all the weapons known to
science, were being laid at a meeting
today in the office of Surg. Gen. Hugh
S. Cumming. In conference with Dr
! Cumming w ere seven men w hose work
with cancer has made them nationally
known
It is expected that out of the con
| ferrnce will come a definite orgamra
! tion. which will co-ordinate the activ;-
i ties of all those seeking the cause and
' i cure of the disease. This organization
would eliminate much of the dupltca
i tion of effort now going on and would
end research along lines which have
been proved unfeasible.
Those here today were Dr. Warren
Lewis, department of embryology, Car
; negte Institution of Washington: Dr
j Treat B Johnson, professor of chemis
try at the Sterling Laboratory, New
; Haven. Conn ; Dr. Retd Hunt, professor

search laboratory. General Electric Co.;
Dr. W H Howell, director of the School
of Hygiene and Public Health. Johns

j Later the organization is expected to
j extend to all the vast army of medical
! men. surgeons, chemists and other ex
-1 pens working to stamp out the disease
‘The aim of the organization wtli be to
give aid and advice to ail centers of
