UNTRUE “INTERVIEW” HURTS HIGH PRIEST Dr. Pavry, Formerly Columbia U. Student, Now in India, Denies Statements. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 23.—The New York World has found that a farewell interview with Dr. Jal Dastur C. Pavry, a Columbla graduate, given on the day he sailed for his home, in Bombay, India, to succeed his father as high priest of the Parsees, and printed on December 29, 1925, was erroneous. Dr. Pavry was quoted as saying, in part, that he would “like to marry one of your American girls—but I cannot, you know,” and “it pains my heart to leave this country—your Manhattan—this wondrous isle of blue- eved maidens, where all is beautiful.” The paper investigated when friends of Dr. Pavry wrote from Bombay, denying the statements and the inter. view. They asserted that the pub- lication in India has seriously injured Dr. Pavry in his reputation and credit. The World says it obtained the in- formation upon which the article was based from sources it deemed to be reliable and published it in good faith. “Upon receipt of Dr. Pavry's com plaint,” it said, “an investigation was made which shows ' that, the World was misinformed and in error with respect to the statements com- plained of and that the pretended farewell interview never took place.” Dr. Pavry spent four years at Co- lumbla and earned a degree of doctor | of philosoph: | B CHRY;ANTHEMUIGFSHOW.

NEW YORK, October 23.—Baron von Maltzan, German Ambassador to the United State, upon his arrival yesterday on the North German Lloyd liner Columbus, said that while the economic condition of Germany is steadily ‘improving, “it has a long way to go before it returns to the position it held before the war.” ‘While on the surface, “things look good,” he said, actually the heavy tax- ation is working against German) Factors which had helped Germany, he said, were the English coal strike, which resulted in heavy exports of coal from Germany to her former enemy, and the financial ald given Germany by this country. President Coolidge’s July 4th dec- laration, which in effect told the Eu- ropean powers that the together in a peaceful way or the United States would not help them, according to the German ambassador, resulted in the bringing together of Premier Briand of France and For- eign Minister Stresemann of Ger- many at Thoiry. The political re- sults of this meeting, Baron von Maltzan said, may include the with- drawal of French troops from the Rhine. “It may be a long time before that | happens. Nobody can say When it will take place,” the ambassador said. | The German ambassador made no comment on the anti-tariff proposal recently made by leading bankers. | 1926—PART He said that he had heard about it by wireless and regarded it as a matter purely for financiers.
