Lawrence was still unconscious this evening, more than 72 hours after the accident in which he was hurled dliofeet. Because of his condition his brother came to the hospital today. after an air trip from the ‘continent.

Italian Consul R e l e as e d By Dominican Court

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

SANTO DOMINGO. Dominican Republic, May 16--A Dominican court yesterday, ordered the re- lease on bond of Amadeo Barietta, former Italian consul here, held on charges of plotting the assass- ination of President Tafael L. Tru- jillo. Bond was set at $50,000.

For weeks he was held incom- municadc while the Italian Minia- ter to Cuba, who flew to t-he neighboring republic, tried vainly to secure his release.

With the revelation that the United States State Department had already made several friendly representations to the Dominican government came reports from Rome that Italy alscwas interest- ing itself in the matter, although rumors that an Italian warship would be sent were denied.

(By Guardian's Special Wire) IONDON, May iii-Greet Brit- ain, stirred by the rising threat of possible war between Italy and Ethiopia, moved tonight in what was seen as an earnest effort to gain time in which to avert a con- flict. The feeling here was that if time is gained, the delicate diplo- matic steps required to assure mediation in the boundary diffi- culties between Italian Bomaliland and Ethiopia would have a good chance of success.

The urgent summons sent yes- terday by the Foreign Office to Sir Eric Drum -‘, Ambassador at Rome, to come to London, was based on the desire of the govern- I ment to have a first-hand account

of the exact attitude of Italy. When the British cabinet meets tomorrow it is believed Sir Eric,

Dealing with a uniform interest rate of five per cent in all parts 0i’ Canada, the annuu cement said: “Because of the hazards of farming or the greater cost of making mortgage loans in some parts of the country, the ratcs charged by private lenders on farm loans vary throughout the Domin- ion, but in developing this national clan for lending on farm mort- gages, it was felt a uniform rate would have to be established, and lit was decided therefore to fix n reasonable average rate taking all parts of the country into con- sideration.

"I am not unaware of the con- stant stream of unofficial suggest- ions that we should take the lead in promoting some son, of stabil- ization here now," said Chamber- uin.

Henry Morgenthau, United States Secretary of the Treasury, in a re- cent speech referred to the need for stabilization but contended other countries should make the first move.

rates cannot be controlled without reference to other economic fact- ors . . . . . .. g "And just as it is no use to try to anchor a ship if the anchorage is always shifting, so it seems to me it would be firtile to attempt to bring about stabilization in that way until we can see some prospect of the stability of conditions after that stabilization has been effect- ed

“A1l I can say therefore, is that stabilization is one of our ultimath objectives. We are now watching and shall continue to watch the situation with a view to taking ac- tion at any time it seems to us it is likely to bring about useful re- suits."

The Chanoellor listed four main objectives nece y for theflevival 0f overseas trade:
