STATESMAN

A r t h u r Henderson Was President Of The World Disarm- ament Conference And One Of T h e Builders of the Brit- ish Labor Party.

(A.P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON. Oct. 20—Arthur Hen- derson, noted Brltish Labor leader, and President of the world D15- armament Conference. died tonight. The 72 year old British states- man. who wcn the Nobel peace prize in 1930, died in o was‘. end nursing heme less than a month after undergoing an operation. I-Ie had been suffering from jaundice due to is gallstone" condition. The one-time iron moulfer, rcse to become one of the build‘r.- of the British Labor party, tmd the world's stafe as a disappointed but undiscouraged advocate of world disarmament. His health undermined his path strewn with dfficulties, he. carried on with litt‘e show for thr?e years his labors in the cause of peace, confident, he said, “the coherence will go on to reach an effective convention."

Henderson was foreign sscretary when the council of the League oi’ Nations elected him president of the‘ Disarmament Conference. but he was neither a minister nor s member of parliament by the time it met in 1932.

The National Government land- slide in i931 co_t him his seat in the Commons and left only the renrnants of the party he had helped to build.

He threw himself into his new task, and in Sept., i934, in an at- tempt to relieve himself or heavy responsibilities, resigned the set:- retaryship of the Labor party-a position he had held for 23 years. A year earlier, he had returned to the Commons, but disarmament had become his main work. He characterized his work as one of "difficulties, delays. di appoint- ments and hopes deferred."

In addition to the Nobel prize. his efforts for promotion of parlor in I033 won him the Waterler award.

LONDON, Oct. 20—A rescue steamer snatched 22 seamen to- night from the fury of an ocean storm but the Atlantic still held the fete of 3'1 others.

The gale in the last 36 hours has claimed two British freighters and piled up dozens of small craft along the shore.

The crew of 22 of the freighter Pendennis, wireless messages said, was saved by the Norwegian steamer Iris shortly before the ves- sel. heavily laden with coal, sank in the North Sea.

But for almost 24 hours there had been no authentic news of the 5,735-ton Donaldson freighter Var- dulis. reported abandoned about 700 miles northeast of Ireland by her crew of 37 yesterday. Last messages from the Vardulta said the crew had taken to the boats in mountainous sees.

Six steamers were in the general area of the distressed ship and at least one was expected to reach her position at any time. Never- theless, the lack of news caused grave doubts as to whether the men had been rescued. The Var- duiie was enroute to Botwood,
