U. $. BAN PUT ON CURRENCY STABILIZATION Policy Clearly Defined by Representatives at London Parley. TARIFF SLASHES URGED Ruin of Trade Is Forecast If Present Barriers Are Not Razed. by harry flory I fitted Press Staff f'nrresnondent LONDON, June 22.—The United .States turned thumbs down on immediate currency staiblization at the world economic conference today, while the dollar dropped rapidly on every important European exchange, making new low records since abandonment of the gold standard. Shortly after the American delegation had stirred the conference by proposing in general terms a worldwide lowering of tariff and trade barriers, a real sensation was caused by a statement of its policy on stabilization. The statement said the delegation felt it could make a more important contribution to the conference by a move to raise price levels than by temporary stabilization. Door Not Closed The statement was not regarded as closing the door entirely to a stabliziation agreement sometime later in the conference. With the dollar dropping rapidly, it was felt that the United States soon would be in a bargaining position where stabilization could be attained at a rate which would give President Roosevelt leeway to avoid any fall in prices—price raises being one of the chief points of his program. The statement obviously was calculated to shift, the focus of the conference from stabilization to tariffs, trade and commodity prices. Cordell Hull, chief United States delegate, submitted the resolution calling on all nations to reduce tariff barriers "as quickly as possible.” Hull's proposal broke the long silence of the American delegation on its program for solving the world depression. The Americans had been under heavy fire from other delegates for their lack of a program. Hull asked for either direct twonation treaties to reduce tariffs or general treaties. It envisaged four points of procedure. The text follows: Text Made Public ‘ Whereas, Various nations have been constrained on the one hand to impose restrictions on imports in the nature of tariffs, quotas, embargoes, etc., and on the other hand to subsidize exports; and “Whereas, This tendency has resulted in nationalistic action in all nations, which, if carried to its logical conclusion, will result in almost complete elimination of international trade and a return to medieval isolation: and “Whereas, It is agreed that this tendency must be arrested if world recovery is to be achieved and a decent standard of living widely maintained; now therefore be it “Resolved, That all nations participating in this conference agree: Hits at Isolation “First, that it is against the common interest for any nation to adopt or continue a policy of extreme nationalism and raise additional trade barriers and discriminations. “Second, that embargoes, import quotas and various other arbitrary restrictions should be removed completely and as quickly as possible. “Third, that tariff barriers should be reduced as quickly as possible by reciprocal bilateral agreements (direct treaties between two nations) or multilateral agreements treaties among groups of nations) to a point where trade can once more move in a free and normal manner. “Fourth, that care should be taken in making bilateral or multilateral agreements not to introduce discriminatory features which, while providing advantage to the contracting parties, would react disadon world trade as a whole.” Caption Clarifies Matter The caption of Hull's resolution apparently made impossible another such incident as was caused by repudiation of his suggestion for a 10 per cent tariff cut. The caption said, “By the secretary of state, by authority of the American delegation and in accordance with instructions of the United States government” designed to “lay a foundation for gradual reduction and removal of artificial barriers to trade.” Times Index Page Eook-A-Day 17 Bridge 9 Broun Column 12 Classified 16 City Briefs 16 City Streets—A Series 11 Comics 17 Crossword Puzzle 13 Curious World 13 Dietz On Science 16 Editorial 12 Financial 13 Fishing 18 Hickman Theater Review 10 Lippman Column 13 Obituaries 6 Radio 6 Serial Story 17 Sport* 14.15 Talburt Cartoon 12 Vital Statistics 16 Woman's Page 8 Women Adventurers 6

PENNEY STORE WILL OPEN IN PETTIS BLDG. Large Scale Chain Operator Gets Lease on Downtown Property. MANY WILL GET WORK Remodeling to Start Soon; City Chosen Because of Retail Stability. BY LOWELL NUSSBAUM Times Staff Writer Leasing of the Pettis Dry Goods Company building on East Washington street by the J. C. Penney Company, New York, for opening of a modern and complete department store was announced today. The deal, one of the most important realty transactions in several years, which will bring to Indianapolis one of the nation's leading department store operators, was announced by Albert L. Frankel, Circle Tower realtor specializing in business and industrial leases. The lease, which involves expenditures of several hundred thousand dollars for remodeling of the Pettis build'ng, giving employment to a number of workmen, also will provide employment for a large staff of store employes. Contract Awarded Mick Contract for building alterations has been awarded to William E. Mick, Inc., and it is expected the work will be completed in time to permit opening of the store early in the fall. The J. C. Penney Company operates a chain of 1,600 department stores, from coast to coast. Recently, the company nas begun opening stores in a few of the larger cities, known as their metropolitan units. These modern and complete department store units have been opened in Seattle, Des Moines, Omaha, and Camden, N. J., and are designed to take care of every need of the modern family and home. The lease covers a long term period and involves a large rental, the figure not being announced. Large Space Available More than 125,000 square feet of space, almost three acres, will be available in the five floors and basement store. The extensive remodeling program will include new fronts, floors, and ceiling, and installation of three high speed micro-controlled elevators and fireproof towers. A new ventilating system will be installed, and contracts have been let for the latest type store equipment. Factors pointing to Indianapolis' stability as a retail trading center and its promise of the future helped in decision of the company officials to locate here, Frankel said. Out of a number of cities seeking the metropolitan units of the company, he added, few could offer as good an opportunity as Indianapolis. One of City’s Landmarks The Pettis building is one of Indianapolis’ landmarks, and had been occupied, until recently, for many years by the Pettis Dry Goods Company. Originally known as the New York store, seventy-fifth anniversary of the store was celebrated in 1928. Owners of the building are the Pettis heirs, represented by William P. Hall Jr. and John H. Bookwalter, i Indianapolis, as trustees; the Occidental Realty Company and Fletcher Trust Company as trustee for Elizabeth Blancke. The owners and the Penney Company were represented by Frankel in the deal. Legal phases of the transaction were handled for the Pettis heirs by Alan W. Boyd, of Noe), Hickam.

Due here Wednesday afternoon, they disappeared after having been seen flying in bad weather up the coast, with jungle and mountains between them and the capital. Several reports were that the fliers had been found by Indians, one dead, the other injured. None bore up under investigation.

RACES FUSED BY CUPID

Japanese Professor Weds Butler Girl

I '['AST not only will meet West ! today, but will launch one of j those matrimonial ventures so op- ! posed by poets and biologists, when blond Miss Frances A. Yorn, 28, and raven-haired Dr. Toyozo W. Nakarai. Butler university professor, exchange vows to love, honor and, perhaps, obey. When they say “I do,” this afternoon at 4 before Charles T. Paul, president of the College of j Missions, Hartford Seminary, Hartford, Conn., the couple will ! embark on the fruition of a romance that began when Miss Yorn was a library worker at Butler, where Dr. Nakarai now is an instructor in Semitics. Mr. Rudyard Kipling’s warning about “East is east and west is west, and never the twain shall meet,” doesn't worry Miss Yorn and Dr. Nakarai in the least. Neither are they disturbed by the biological problem that apparently presents itself, for they have rationalized the situation to their complete satisfaction and their decision to marry is not the result of a hasty infatuation. Their children, both believe, if the union has any issue, will inherit the best traits of each race. n u thing I can not emphasize KJtoo plainly,” says Dr. Nakarai, who is a completely westernized Japanese. “I do not intend to attempt to make of my wife a Japanese girl. “We -will live in America, and as Americans do. Naturally, our life will be pursued in academic circles and I believe my colleagues and their wives will feel no antagonism to the marriage. “We haven't rushed into this marriage and we’ve studied it well from all angles. I have spoken to the dean, the president of my university, to my pastor and to my former professors and they have approved wholeheartedly of our plans. “We have met no opposition. Frances’ mother approves, as does her only brother. “Os course, we recognize the fact that there will be social disadvantages because of the frequently expressed scorn for the white woman who contracts a marriage with an oriental. “As far as that is concerned, inter-racial marriages are frowned upon just as sternly in Japan and of all Orientals, ‘i believe the Japanese marry outside their own race the least.” w * m MISS YORN joins Dr. Nakarai in denying any worry on the score of children. “I believe the east and west have a great deal to give each other culturally, and there is every reason to believe that our children may take the best from each culture.” she asserts. Miss Yorn is a librarian at Avery library, Columbia university, where Dr. Nakarai has been doing special work. They will be at home in Indianapolis after Sept. 1, spending a honeymoon first in Vermont. ROOSEVELT STEERS BOAT FOR PORTLAND Heads Schooner Northward From Portsmouth. Bit United Press PORTSMOUTH. N.
