LOUISVILLE NASHVILLE Coney Island Boardwalk IsNamedAfterRiegelmann Island Boardwalk by any other name I'ennelly refused to vote for the yen-nlutlon. which was introduced by EUROPE'S PROBLEMS Tells What Should Be Done to Bring About Better Economic Conditions. Factors in the solution of European economic problems fall' naturally into rive categories, according to Julius H.

Barnes, recently re turned from an extended trip over Uurope with a delegation of th United States Chamber of repartitions, Allied debts, budprele international loans and exchange. Mr. Barnes based his conclusion; upon pnrsonul observation of cor dlllons in Europe. He told of his observations and Nome of his per sonal experiences with the Chamber of Commerce delegation at a dlnn -iven by A. Bedford at the Metro politan Club Monday niht.

Hi-; dinner was attended by publisher!) owners and business managers of newspapers. "Now you will ask what that solu tion consisted in, and what are tht tundanient.il requirements that sort of formula," until. "Tlitv wre not complicated. The questions an naiurany into nve categories reparations. Allied debt, budgets international loans and With a comprehensive settlement of thuso In their prop-r relation -to each otner mere would be the basis in the business Judgment of the world for the foundation of this preat economic earning process to commence to lift, these burdens.

"Under reparations and rcmem her that this had the unanimous ac ceptance of all these delegations of 20 countries, including ranco and I'elgrlum un.ler reparations that whatever the settlement may finally bo detvrmnled, the details to be worked out later, it must Include this principle, that Germany shall ac knowledge lis liability tor wanton aisiession: that it shall undertake with rood faith and honest effort to contribute to the utmost of its resources and corning power, its reparation of great wrongs done; that that amount of reparations now do- termined must carry some security for its payment; that since this is the demonstration of the results which follow aggression, there must be security against the recurrence of similar affgrersion. "As to Allied debts, it is difficult to see why the ability of a debtor to dis charge an Allied debt should not be considered, if you stand for the prin ciple that the ability of Germany to pay her reparations obligation must be determine.il, 100. bo mai 11 i ho mitted that the ubility of these de.bt ors to pay shall be considered, too, but that there Khali- be no general application or a principle 01 cancel Ititinn or remission. "That, as to budgets, it is manifest that there must be a repetition of the old statement that national nuances, as individual, must bear some proper relation between income and outgo, with the additional reservation that, taxation as a method of revenue must not be carried to the point where it stifles productive industry. Because we in America have Just pased that phase ourselves and we are impressed with tile tact mat laxauon on a if unwise in character or extent may itself destroy the earning power and the toxpaytng aouuy 01 mai people.

"That as to international loans. these as governmental opemtlons. must be discouraged, because of the political complication which they bcu. The Allied debt today probably could be settled by business men if thev were business considerations nnlv! but because whatever settle ments are made must be considered In I'arllarocntary bodies there Is a ch'ck, an Obstacle in the refunding of those, botn as to amount ana character and time in terms of pay. ment.

"And as to exchange, artificial sta hility by governments only leads to distress and disaster, and that the ultimate goal of exchange should be the approach to tne fun goia parity, but under natural processes. "The information that we got in Europe as to the progress in Russia under the new economic policy was distinctly encouraging. This is con-tirmcd by a record of grain exports which have taken place from Russia within the past four months. Ti.efe have moved out of Russia something like IIOO.OOO tons of grain, mostly to ermanv. and there arc lurtner con tracts under way.

If those were taken out of Russia at the expense of its necessary home supplies, of course it would be on economic error, and that will not develop tar some three months: but it looks as if Russia to day had really succeeded in raising an agricultural surplus and as if under normal weather conditions Russia would gradually at least in crease its contribution to the over seas movement of food, which is the readiest commodity which it nas to sell. "We found In Great Britain sn almost unanimous opinion that with the exception ot the textile industry all British business is improving and now on on earning basis. The outstanding tact which im pressed us in all these countries in Kurope is the very clear conviction that State ownershio and State operation of public facilities I won't say public utilities, but puDiic tacinties has distinct lv written itself a fail ure. Not onl-- t-i shown In Italy's effort to get lis public State-owned facilities ir hands, but it. is shown in vliee.

there is a recasting of the Government ra'lroad service and a discharge of 100.000 su perfluous employes. It is shown in Great Britain, where the railroads under their return to private opera tion have greatly quickened the business and economic life of that island and greatly improved the service and at the same time reduced the rates. It shows there is a general apprecia tion throughout all of Kurope that these facilities must not only be in private hands but they must be tegu-lated so wisely that they will pre sent a field of attraction for the superior grade of private ability to enlist themselves Ir. their administration, and that it is true that where this has been tried, as in Great Britain, they are meeting with satisfae. tory results." NEW HOUSING COMMITTEE PROPOSED IN ASSEMBLY (Special by Eagle Staff Correspondent) Albany.

April It A new Hous ing committee to consist of four Senators and five Assemblymen to investigate housing conditions in New York City is provided for in a resolution offered today by Assemblyman Samuel Rose man. lemocrat, of New York. This committee will not attempt to go int- the question of building costs as the Lockwood Committee did. but will confine its activities strictly to housing matters. The committee will report at the next session of the Legislature.

This resolution, along with the Tax Exemption bill and the extension of the emergency rent laws, are the only housing matters that this session of the Legislature will consider, although vigorous efforts are being made to pass the Antln-jsse bill providing for the conversion of three-story houses into three-family apartments. Despitt the fact that Tenepent House Commissioner Frank Mann is supporting the bill. Mayor Hylan's representatives are reuorted to be against it on the grounds that it would tend to destroy the tenement hese laws. H. A.

The Stein-eerg direct primary bill and the Ginnles substitute for the Untcrmyer trade commission bill were also passed. Governor Hmirb's recommendation for a popular initiative for constitutional amendmcrJs and for publication of campaign expenses before election were killed. By a vote of S3 Is 9 the Senato rsssed the Higglns bill lesigned to bar histories which do not set forth th American Revolution from tho viewpoint of America. Charges mat certain Mstories are written by men "paid by pro-British propagandists," and statements that Andrew Carnegie devoted the later years of his me to an attempt to make the United State' a British colony, were answered by character-ration of the Higglns hill as "a heated oration in the foim of a statute" and a "trip-hammer law to kill a US'."

With two spectacular tricks which would have done credit to a Cos-fack. Mounted Policeman Edward J. of the Sheepshead Bay ttatlon upheld the hlsh traditions of the mounted force yesterday and rxKfutrd, with the utmost during, a two-ply rescue of two small boys Ironi what might have been instant ckath. In addition to this he I rough! to a stop at the cost of a iulnd uniform and a battered body, a you us tram of spirited horses, halting them in full flight. After he had completed his task McGrath re-nscd medical attention and went home.

It was Just in the day's routine for him. Michael Qrzzeck of 2211 Graves-end avc. is the owner of the team which had always been docile up to yesterday. They were attached to llfht farm wagon when he stopped in front of his home and decided to Rive his son Stanley, aged 7, a ride. Orzzeck put the boy on the seat and was just on the point of climbing up De3ide htm when the.

team bolted McGrath. seated on his horse Hamlet, was on post at Avenue and Gravesend ave. when he saw the maddened animals bearing down on him. a white-faced kid on tha seat. Ho.

(pave Hamlet his head and tried to head them off, but they were eoing under too great Headway, i nen he touched his mount with his heels and set off in pursuit of them as they whirled by in a cloud of dust At. Avenue and Id. First st.i a croup' of children were playing tn the roadway but they scattered. Just ahead of them another group of children were playing. These scattered too, but one stumbled and fell right in the nath of McGrath horse.

There was olio thing to do, and McGrath did it. He spurred Hani let, who cleared the lad with a flying leap as a racer in a steeplechase clears a thicket. Then the pursuit went on. McGrath succeeded in getting alongside the tram after he had jrone some four or five blocks. When only a loot or two separated Hamlet from he sprang to the hack of the nearest horse and in lhat perilous position reached for the reins.

One line was broken, but he managed to slow the team down Then he leaned forward and grasped the bridle. He hold on to this with an iron grip, but the horse shook him so that his body slipped off and trailed along bumping the roadway for two blocku. Then they halted. His tim form was ruined and he was sore all over. The boy had held fast anci was lifted down suffering a bit from shock, but otherwise all right.

McGrath reported after that. He made little of his adventure. The mounted men do these things as a matter of course. That Is why they are. as tine a body of men as any in tint world.
