Pefain Government
Provides Loans for
Industry, Colonies
Advances Made to Algeria
And Tunisia to Assure
Supplies of Food
By the Associated Press.
VICHY, July 22.—A series of
decrees granting loans to private
industry and certain colonies and
rectifying the exchange rate for the
French and Belgian franc were
enacted today by the Petain gov
ernment as a part of its reconstruc
tion program.
Loans up to 200.000 francs may
be made to private industries for
three months to enable them to
pay salaries and buy indispensable
raw materials.
(The French franc is not at
present quoted on the foreign
exchange market. Previously this
year, however, it ranged from a
high of 2.26 cents on January 29
to a low of 1.73 May 10.)
Advances of 500,000.000 and 100,
000.000 francs were granted, respec
tively, to Algeria and Tunisia to
assure a food supply in these
colonies.
Through an arrangement with the
Belgian government, 500 Belgian
francs were made equal to 722
FYench francs.
(The Belgian franc, internal
currency, ts worth one-fifth of
the belga, the international ex
change unit which no longer is
quoted, but which has ranged in
value from 17.10 to 16.52 cents
this year.)
The Finance Ministry in a com
munique invited banks, exchange
agencies and insurance companies
to return to Paris as soon as pos
sible. declaring plans were being
made to reopen the bourse.
Finance Minister Yves Boutillier
announced he would leave for Paris
today to re-establish his department
there.
A dispatch from Paris reported
that German dissatisfaction with the
makeup of the Petain government
was apparently one of the obstacles
delaying return of the French gov
ernment to the city.
The Paris press published reports
from Berlin that Germany, “aston
ished to find in the new government
the influence of men responsible for
the war,” is maintaining "extreme
reserve toward French policy."
Sunsets on Planet Venus
Photographed Successfully
By the Associated Press.
PASADENA. Calif., July 22.—Four
young scientists have returned from
a mountain-top camp with 1.500
photographs of sunsets on the planet
Venus.
They said probably not more than
a dozen astronomers had observed
the phenomenon during the last
200 years. They described the pho
tographs as the first successful
series of pictures of the sunset ever
made.
The pictorial record was started
last year at Lowell Observatory,
Flagstaff. Arix.. by J. B. Edson. Mr.
Edson and three other graduate
students at the California Institute
of Technology—J. L. Winget, Rich
ard Canright and Ernest Wright
camped for two weeks on Lookout
Mountain, 80 miles southeast of
here, taking daily pictures at the
Smithsonian Solar Observatory.
The expedition, said Mr. Edson,
was timed to coincide with the sun
set phenomenon—a red glow in the
planet’s upper atmosphere—visible
only when Venus is almost, but not
quite, directly between the earth and
the sun.
Mrs. Carrie L. Mallon,
Mother of Writer, Dies
Mrs. Carrie L. Morsman. Mallon,
87, mother of Miss Winifred Mallon,
Washington correspondent for the
New York Times, died yesterday at

ments, 2311 Connecticut avenue
N.W. She had been ill since Jan
uary with a heart ailment.
Mrs. Mallon, a native of North
Evans, N. Y„ was the widow of
Robert Patrick Mallon, who died
here in 1912. She was the daughter
of Lewis William and Maria M.
Morsman Harvey. She was a de
scendant of William Woodbury of
Somerset, England, who settled in
Beverly, Mass., in 1628, and of Dean
Carlton, one of the eight original
members of the Congregational
Church in this country.
Besides Miss Mallon, she leaves
another daughter, Mrs. Charles D.
Oothoudt of Oakland, Calif.
Funeral services will be held at
2:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Church
of the Reformation, 212 East Capitol
street, with burial in Congressional
Cemetery.
There are about 140 different
dates assigned to the creation of
the world.
“MADE FOR ENGLAND,” SAY THE GERMANS—Bombs of the
heaviest caliber are being turned out in many munition works
throughout Germany and they're being “made for England,”
says the German caption accompanying this picture. These
shells are of the type used to blast the Maginot Line forts and
to war on cruisers and battleships. Now they are being turned
out for the promised onslaught on Great Britain. Picture
shows the shells being checked in the factory.—A. P. Wirephoto.
Russian Note Brings
First Text of Axis
Pledges to Rumania
Moscow Message Stresses
Interest in 'Popular'
Rule for Carol's Domain
By thf Associated Press.
BUCHAREST. July 22.—Rumania’s
newly-won pledges of support from
the Rome-Berlin axis are about to
’ receive their first test, it was re
ported here today, as a result of a
note from Moscow emphasizing Rus
I sian interest in a "popular govern
1 ment” for King Carol’s monarchy.
Authoritative Rumanians said the
Soviet note was received Saturday
and that yesterday Rumania Foreign
Minister Mihail Manoilescu met with
German and Italian Ministers at
a resort on the Black Sea.
King Carol, shortly after receipt
of the note, was said to have met
with Vice Premier Gen. Mihail
Ionescu, War Minister Gen. Con
stantine Nicolescu and Chief of
Staff Florea Tyenescu.
Observers assumed here they dis
cussed the new Rumanian defense
system in the east, set up since
Russian occupation of Northern
Bucovina and Bessarabia June 28.
These sources said Premier Ion
Gigurtu’s pro-Nazi government was
advised by Moscow that Russia
wished to improve her relations
with Rumania and felt this could be
accomplished by formation of a
popular government.
Meanwhile, Bucharest newspapers
carried reports that the Moscow
radio after numerous attacks on
Rumania, suddenly had swung to
support of Rumania in her terri
torial dispute witl* Hungary over
Transylvania.
In Tarnono. Bulgaria, Premier
Bogdan Philoff announced yester
day that Bulgaria hoped to realize
her territorial claims, which in
cluded part of the Rumanian prov
ince of Dobruja, "not by war or
arms but by peaceful means and
through accord.”

j= Hindsight and Foresight =|
By HOLGAR J. JOHNSON
President, Institute of Life Insurance .
AS we face troubled times and solemn decisions,
. it often gives us courage and strength to look
back on troubled times in the
past. Your old history book-the
one you used in school—has been
brought up to date. Have you
read the new chapters that de
scribe what happened in 1929—
and afterwards?
“A terrific crash in the stock
market in October ruined thou
sands,” says Professor David S.
Muzzey in his “American His
tory.” “Factories and mills were closing... banks
were failing, prices of wheat, cotton, oil, copper
were steadily falling, exports were declining and
mortgages were being foreclosed all over the
land.”
In this crisis, the public turned to its institu
tions that had always stood for security. Life
insurance was one of these.
Except for a short period beginning with the
bank holiday, when the insurance commissioners
of certain states ruled that a policyholder must
show his need before he could surrender his
policy for cash or borrow on it, the companies
carried on as if there were no depression. At no
time was there any Interruption In death claim
payments or in the payments on endowments
or annuities. -
IN the ten years that followed, annual payments
ranging from two billions upward were made
regularly to policyholders, widows, orphans and
old people. Can you imagine what a stabilizing
influence this was, when the value of most kinds
of property seemed so uncertain?
But perhaps I am painting too rosy a picture.
What would Dr. Muzzey say on this subject? We
got in touch with him and asked him what he
thought of the way the life insurance companies
handled themselves during the depression.
“K you ask me,” he said, "the depression
proved that life insurance is the soundest busi
ness institution in the country.”
Today, like yesterday, we in the insurance busi
ness stand braced to help 64 million policy
holders withstand whatever economic shocks
man or nature can deliver, in every way within
our power.
This is what is expected of us, and this is
what we expect of ourselves.
NOTE: la this regular Monday eolamn, paid for at adver- .
tisfng rates, the Inatitnte of Life Insurance has asked its
president to disease questions of interest to life insurance
policy holders. Inquiries assy be addressed to M Bast Uil
tint. Vow Tack CUy,
