ACTION SEEN PROBABLE
French Premier's Vis Recalls
Stay of MacDonald; Problems
Are More Complex.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-(/P)-
A reconciliation of divergent views
as to the best method of preserving
the peace of the world will be
sought this week when Premier
Laval of France crosses the thresh-
old of the White House.
With a possible ultimate result
as far-reaching as any in diplo-
matic history, President Hoover
and the French premier will seek
a mutual basis of thought on the
political and economic problems
which are corollaries df world
peace.
MacDonald's Visit Similar.
Two years ago, Ramsey MacDon-
ald, prime minister of Great Brit-
ain, and the chief executive, in the
solitude of the president's Virginia
Camp, solved a problem. The solu-
tion lead to the London naval con-
ference and, eventually, to the lim-
itation of the American British and
Japanese naval forces.
A fast-moving change in world
affairs, however, now presents the
president and the french states-
man with problems far more com-
plex than that of two years ago.
Mr. Hoover has two primary sub-
jects which he expects to discuss at
length with the French premier.
These are disarmament and the in-
ternational economic situation, but
he does not expect a solution of
either to be recorded a day or a
week after the departure of the
French statesman. Secretary Stim-
son has advised the president
against the preparation of a fixed
and definite plan for the conver-
sations, but the chief executive is
known to have some well defined
thoughts on both problems.

S. S. ILE DE FRANCE-En route
to New York, Oct. 20.-(P)-Premier
Pierre Laval of France had in his
pocket today two plans for discus-
sion with President Hoover when
he reaches Wahsington.
Although he would not discuss
them, it was learned they were
prepared in collaboration with his
experts and that they are outlined
in such a way as to embrace both
Kynoch Cites Modern Research
Discoveries in Timber
Preservation.
"Wood is being modernized by
research and, as a consequence, is
finding extended and new spheres
of usefulness which promise to
compensate fully for its displace-
[ment in those direetions in which
displacement has occurred," Prof.
William Kynoch of the forestry
school, declared in a talk over ra-
dio station WJR yesterday after-
noon.
It is possible to reduce the in-
flammability of timber so that it
can be held in the open flame of a
gas stove without catching fire,
Professor Kynbch stated. This is
done by a recently developed fire-
retardant treatment which is not
excessively expensive. Wood used
underground can also be treated
by preservatives which render it
immune from decay.
The usefulness of wood, already
very great, can be vastly increased,
if we apply the same intensity of
scientific study and the same in-
genuity of invention which is ap-
plied to other materials, Professor
Kynoch said.
"In cost, in ready availability, in
ease of working with hand or ma-

chine tools, in beauty, in liveabili-
ty, wood possess a combination of
advantages .which few other mate-
rials can muster," Professor Kynoch
continued. "In the possession of one
advantage it is unique. It can be
reproduced at will so that, given
proper scientific management, of
our woodlands, we can assure our-
selves of a supply of desirable
woods in perpetuity."
Emineht Scientist
Leaves Army Post;
Comes to Michigan
John Parke Finley, retired colonel
of the United States army and emi-
nent scientist, has returned to the
University of Michigan.
Colonel Finley graduated from
Michigan State in 1873, and then
studied law at Ann Arbor. He was
born on North State Street in 1854,
and served 42 years continuously
in the army.
At the present time Colonel Fin-
ley is doing research work in mete-
orology. He hopes to help establish
a weather bureau at the university
some time in the future. Usually
Colonel Finley is in New York serv-
ing as manager of the National
Storm and Aviation Insurance bu-
reau, and as consulting meteorolo-
gist and statistician.
Few alumni have filled more mil-
itary and civil service appoint-
ments. In foreign service Colonel
Finley filled an important role at
the American Embassy, Constanti-
nople, in 1913-14. He was appointed
by the Mohammedan chiefs as
their main ambassador at the Turk-
ish court, with the Malay-Arabic
titles .of Tuan Maas and Vekil-I-
Mutlach. Later the Turkish govern-
ment decorated him.
Last year Colonel Finley was giv-
en a full page in "Who's Who in
Science for 1930."

to Give Impressions of

Thomas Kerl, renowned farner
and international authority on soil

morrow afternoon in Natural Sci-
ence auditorium at 4:15 on "Impres-

recently returned from a study of
farming conditions in that country
as a representative of the Interna-
tional Association of Soil Science.

Mr. Kerl is an alumnus of the
University, having received his
Bachelor of Arts degree in 1891. He
later received a Bachelor of Laws
degree at George Washington uni-
versity and spent one year in soil
studies at Cornell. He has traveled
widely studying farming and social
conditions in many lands.
Mr. Kerl owns one of the largest
farms in the world at Oakland, Ne-
braska which covers approximately
eight thousand acres. His farm es-
tate at the resort of Lake Court d'
Alene covers twelve hundred acres.
He is primarily interested in fruit
and wheat farming. He has lec-
tured at Whitman and Idaho uni-
versities.
Mr. Kerl is appearing here under
the auspices of the University his-
tory department. Prof. Dow of that
department stated yesterday that
the Kerl lecture should prove par-
ticularly interesting as it is not of-
ten that University audiences are
privileged to hear the farmer's
viewpoint.
