ROOSEVELT'S FOREIGN POLICY DECLARATION HELD EFFECTIVE "Good Neighbor" Statement Regarded as Especially Significant in So Far as Far East Is Concerned. BY CONST ANT INE BBOWN. The few sentences which President Roosevelt used yesterday to outline America's foreign policy under his administration will have a more re sounding effect abroad, and especially in the Far East, than all the long and complex notes and communications sent heretofore. The President stated. "In the field of world policy I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of good neigh bor—the neighbor who resolutely re spects himself, and, because he does so, respects the rights of others—the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agree ments in and with a world of neighbors." Gone seem the days of "hats off" to the League of Nations. In diplomatic quarters, where the President's speech has naturally been widely commented, the inaugural address in general, and the short paragraph referring to foreign affairs in particular, has created a deep Impression, because the feeling in those quarters is that Mr. Roosevelt really means what he says. Two Facts in Mind. The interpretation is that he did nof have in mind so much the Kellogg Briand pact, which he naturally be lieves a useful Instrument in time of peace, but he mainly thought about the other two pacts which America signed in 1922—the nine-power pact, whereby the signatory nations had agreed to maintain the territorial Integrity of China, and the four-power pact whereby the United States, confident that the nine-power treaty would be respected, agreed not to fortify its pos sessions in the Par East. Since his election as President of this country, Mr. Roosevelt has been keeping himself well posted on the situation all over the world, especially where America had vital interests. He knows not only the obvious fact that the nine-power treaty is at present only a scrap of paper, but also that America had lived up to the four-power pact. And while its fortifications in the Pacific were left as they were 11 years ago, other nations, especially Japan, has proceeded to fortify as fast as they could their territorial possessions in the Pacific, and this in defiance of the pro visions of the mandates and of the pact they had signed with the United States, China and Great Britain. Ml!d Warning to Germany. In certain European diplomatic quarters President Roosevelt's sentence is interpreted as a mild warning to Germany, and is welcomed at the pres ent moment when the situation In that country see ma to be getting out of hand. Hitler, it Is assumed here, will come out victorious at tomorrow's polls. Hit ler's main trump card with the Gar man nation Is the abolition of the Ver sailles treaty, especially the clause which gave Poland the Dantzig Corri dor. The President's reference to tha respect of the sanctity of the treaties. It la hoped, In certain quarters, will have a cooling effect on Germany's | chancellor. Those who expected the President to embark immediately, upon his com ing into office, on a long series of ne gotiations with the debtor nations for the reduction or cancellation of the war debts have been sadly disappointed. The President's slogan is "America first." And since America's problems are today of paramount importance, the problems of other nations can wait. Trade Relations Secondary. His statement that, "Our International trade relations, though vastly import ant, are in point of time and necessity secondary to the establishment of a sound national economy. I favor as a practical oolicy the putting 'of first things first. I shall spare no effort to restore world trade by International economic readjustment, but the emer gency at home cannot wait on that ac complishment," has caused a certain commotion among European ^diplomats who have conveyed It to th«r respec tive governments as the President's final decision. This sentence Is also Interpreted as meaning that Mr. Roosevelt has not i# the least abandoned his position that any concessions to Europe in respect to its indebtedness to this country must be based on an economic counterpart.

CURTIS IS MOVED ASHEQUITSSH Vice President Ends Brilliant Political Career Dating From 1893. By the Associated Press. Four full decades of a brilliant po litical career ended at noon yesterday for Charles Curtis of Kansas, who re tires into private life along with his sister, Mrs. Dolly Gann. provocateur of the memorable tea-table tempest over social precedence. Prom official hostess to the Vice President. Mrs. Gann will turn back to being Mrs. Edward Everett Gann. wife of a Capital attorney, but her love for politics will keep her active in Repub lican women's affairs. Entered Congress in 1893. Curtis—who haltingly reminded the Senate yesterday in retiring that Claude A. Swanson of Virginia. Rocse velt Secretary of the Navy, was the only man present in the House when he entered there in 1893—is likely to join her in Republican party councils. Of his own plans, Curtis will say little, but he has three Jobs about which to decide by March 15. Two of the five which have been proposed for his con sideration since the Hoover-Curtis ticket was swept into oblivion last November have already been rejected. A member of the House for many years before he moved over to the Sen ate in 1907. Curtis rose through party ranks to Senate leadership before his election to the vice presidency in 1928. Wishes Democrats Success. These passed briefly in review for him j yesterday in his valedictory as he yielded his gavel as presiding officer to John N. Garner of Texas, to whom he wished every success and expressed the same hope for the Democratic administra tion. "This is one of the most important days of my life." Curtis observed. "It marks my leave-taking as your presid ing officer, my leave-taking as a mem ber in the halls of Congress where I have been present as Vice President of the United States, as Senator and as Congressman for 40 years. "It is with deep emotion that I bid you good-by and shortly go forth from here a private citizen." WHITE HOUSEPRESS FORMALITY DROPPED Liaison Secretary Says Daily Con ference Will Yield to All Time Availability. By the Associated Press. Much of the formality which sur rounded President Hoover's relations with the press will be discarded by Stephen T. Early, President Roosevelt's press liaison secretary, who last night said he would not hold daily confer ences, but would be available in his of fice to newspaper men most of the time. Another feature of the new arrange ments will be a change in time of the first of the President's two weekly con ferences with press representatives, probably from noon Tuesday to 10 a.m. Wednesday. The present order, Early said, conflicts with the Tuesday cab inet meeting. The 4 p.m. Friday con ference will be continued. The White House secretariat, headed by Col. Louis Howe, with Marvin Mcln tyre and Early, will be more flexible than that of President Hoover, Early predicted. Although each member will be a nominal specialist, the sharp dis tinctions which classified President Hoover's secretaries will not be ob served. - Early will not have the office adjoin ing that of the President formerly oc cupied by Theodore Joslin, the Hoover press secretary, but will move into a more accessible location at the front of the Executive Office Building. • WOMAN HELD IN PLOT !

By the Associated Press. Blinking the tears from his eyes, John Nance Garner of Texas bade the House food-by yesterday with a characteristic "I'm much obliged to you all" and went I to preside over the Senate with a smil ing "I come to co-operate." Thus did the one-time farm boy and cowpuncher cease to be Speaker of the House of Representatives and become Vice President of the United States. To Garner it meant more than Just trading jobs. It meant the severing of close contacts and friendships estab lished during his 30 years in the House and the need for establishing new ones i in the Senate. I House Flow Crowded. The House floor was crowded to the last seat when It came time for his de parture to take the oath of office as Vice President. Representative Bui winkle, a North Carolina Democrat, had Just pre sented a gold watch to the Texan when Representative Snell of New York, the Republican leader, urged Gamer to yield the chair to Hawley of Oregon, a retiring Republican. Garner did. Snell introduced and the House adopted unanimously a resolution thanking "the Honorable John N. Gar ner for the able, impartial manner in j which he presided over the House In the Seventy-second Congress." Brushing his eyes with the backs of his hands and blinking vigorously, the 1 Texan went back to preside over the House for the last time. In trembling voice he said: "I prob ably appreciate this resolution more than previous Speakers. • • • I have a very great affection for a great many members of the House of Repre sentatives. I leave this body without a I single feeling other than a Christian one toward every member. I told the | members some weeks back that I re gretted to leave this chamber. That was a sincere expression. "I'm much obliged to you all. and | now I declare the House of Representa tives of the Seventy-second Congress adjourned sine die." Offers Co-operation. With his official escort he went to the Senate. He went through the usual routine, and as he took his oath of ] office told his new charges: "This is my first and possibly may be my last opportunity to address the Senate. I am particularly anxious to ingratiate myself into your favorable consideration. • • • I come as your presiding officer to co-operate, to be helpful, to do the best I can to help you conduct the proceedings of the Senate. "I am happy to be over here; I am I happy to meet you all." That was all. But in the gallery his wife and family alternated between smiles just as broad as his and tears just as plentiful as those with which he had told the House good-by. INSTITUTE LISTS 895 NEEDED INVENTIONS "An Easy Way to Make Money'' Is Placed Last on Compila tion in London. LONDON (N.A.N.A.).—The Institute of Patentees has Just compiled and pub lished a list of 896 needed inventions. They range from "a device for keeping ladies' shoulder straps in position" to "an ideal building, which would em body durability, absence of grit, unin flammability. absence of internal pro jections on which dust can lodge, ab sence of inaccessible hollow spaces and would not throw projectiles in the event of an explosion." Among practical everyday wants sug gested are "a preparation or invention to obviate the need for shaving daily," a form of trapdoor in the bed to en able the feet to go down at right angles to the bed when the occupant is having meals, lipstickproof linen, a key that will not lose its identification and a temperance drink that will keep, yet not pall, on the palate. Among suggestions which. If they could be realized, would. Indeed, make an ideal world, are: "A captive golf ball to indicate where it would have landed If played in the ordinary way," "the discovery of the mechanism which en ables us to remember almost instantly in our brains without going through the mechanism of card index and equiv alent system," an umbrella which can not be left behind and, last, but by no means least, "an easy way of making money."

By the Associated Press. RALEIGH. N. C., March 4.—A farm garden, one-half acre in size, is worth exactly $168.33 in cash to a family of six persons and its value probably ex ceeds this when the better health of the family is considered, says H. R. Nis wonger, extension horticulturist at State Colleg?. "We usually do not think of the cash value of a garden in a system of self sustaining farming, but records kept for us last year by 75 farm families show this plot of land to be an impor tant asset," Niswonger said. "The average size of the family from which the records were secured was six. The garden plot averaged a half acre in size and seeds and fertilizers cost $4.77. Returns in fresh vegetables were valued at $168.33 above the cost of seeds and fertilizer."

PARIS (N.A.N.A.).—The street singer and strolling musician are to be heard once more In the highways of the city.

The most enthusiastic supporters of street music are the midinettes, who come end go in their luncheon Interval from the big dressmaking houses, from 11 to 2. and stream out on their way home from 6 o'clock in the evening on ward. They will crowd around a man who is playing popular airs and Join in the choruses of the songs, and are likely to do so more than ever now that the music publishers have agreed to help things along by providing the mu sicians' organization with free copies of the latest successes.
