/ r3 : URGES BANK POOL T0 PAY DEBT BIL Adrien Dariac Suggests Plan for Vast European Machine to Balance Ledger. By the Ansociated Press. PARIS, October The possibil- ity of the creation of an international banking organization. to which all Eu- rope would furnish the necessary re- seurces for the paying off of war debts on installments, is suggested in a statement given today to the Associ- ated Press by Adrien Dariac. presi- dent of the special debt commission of the Chamber of Députies. M. Darfac issued the statement as an addendum to the interview accord- ed yesterday toa correspondent for the Associated Press in which he spoke of the report on French war debts which will be submitted to the finance com- mittee next week. The message, frank to the point of bluntness, he made clear, was his personal opinion on the debt question and not his opinion as president of the special commission. Presents Two Views. “The time of loving one another has passed. The time to pay has ar- rived. All right!” M. Darica’s mes- sage said. £ “There were two ways of settling the debt” AM. Dariac wrote. “It could be placed on a plane of justice and amity of it could be looked at from purely the business viewpoint. The latter method has prevailed. By the first method, the nation which has always protested amity toward France, could have shown that it had not forgotten right and could have regulated the debts as the American Soldiers who fell in France would| have wished. By the second msthod, America would forget her past and ours; she would estimate that budgets are not Palanced with glorious memories; she would leave to their eternal peace the shudes of Washington, La Fayette, TRochembeau and those of her soldiers who tell for the same ideal as French soldiers, She would present her bill as business men. Thers would no longer be peoples with their traditions, sympathies, history and common in- terests. There would be a tradesman and banker—America—and a client debtor—France. [t is that method that has prevailed.: i Says France Will Pay. “We won't discuss the details and the French Parliament won't take refuge in mazes of procedure. France owes. She will pay. What matters it if America by her atti- tude since the armistice has caused some prejudice; that the American Senate did not keep the word given | by its highest representative? “We recognize the debt, all of it. We will pay it under certain legiti- mate reserves and on one condition— that is, that we be allowed time to examine, together with all the allied natlons, if it is not possible to create an international banking organiza- tion, to which all Europe would fur- nish the necessary resources, which could be remitted by installments.” | M. Darfac said that once this vast paying machine had been organized by the debtors of Europe, America would get her money and everybody would continue to live with nothing changed except that a “great sym- pathy would have been injured.” HERRICK CENSURES CRITICS. Returning to Post, Counsels Silence on Debt Status. NEW TYORK, October 23 (®).— Limping aboard the liner Paris today to sail for France, where he is the Ambassador of the United States, Mjyron T. Herrick criticized “former outstanding statesmen” for published expressions about the French debt which he considered harmful. He did not mention the men by name. As soon as he hoarded the liner, the Ambassador retired to his stateroom, ‘where, reclining on a couch with a badly swollen ankle swathed in bandages, he received ship news re- porters. He reportcd that he had re- ceived the Injury while playing golf with his grandson Parmley Her- rick, jr. The two were playing near the Am- bassador's farm near Cleveland about a month ago when the younger man sliced and the ball struck the older player's ankle, cutting it to the bone, “Former outstanding statesmen.” the Ambassador eald, “can say all they like when the subject discussed is a simple national matter, but when it is of international significance, =uch as the French debt to the United States, they should keep still until it becomes an open question and they xhould not talk when it is partially completed as their statements are likely to prove harmful.” WOMAN CIGAR SMOKERS FOUND CLUB IN LONDON Move Launched to Popularize Hab- it Among Fair Sex—Doom “Male Control.” By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 23.—A club to pularize cigar smoking by women h been formed by the wives and daughters of some wealthy business men in Wallazy, in Cheshire. Reular meetings are held in members’ houses and politics discussed over tea and cigars. One of the rules of the club is an obligation to smoke in public and lots are drawn to select members fer this purpose. The club was founded by a strong exponent of feminism who invited a number of friends to tea, handed out cigars and delivered an address on ihe “doom of male control.” Beveral of the more sedate mem- hers are said to have had enough of the club, but have not the courage te withdraw, H.

POLISH NOTE LD ON RUSSAN PACT Country Too Strong, Foreign Minister Says, to Worry Over Lithuanian Treaty. By the Associated Press. WARSAW, Poland, October 23, —The Polish government today deliv- ered to Russia a note, which is under- | stood to be mild in tone, concerning the recently signed Soviet-Lithuanian treaty. The mildness of the note. Foreign Minister Zaleski of Poland told news- paper men tonight, was due to the fact that Poland is too strong to get nervous over such menaces to its territory as is felt to be implied in the Soviet-Lithuanian treaty. Holds Vilna Dispute Settled. The note simply states that Russia gave up all lands to the west of her frontiers under the treaty of Riga with Poland and agreed that the question of the city of Vilna should be settled directly between Poland and Lithuania. Lithuania, the note says, asked the Council of Ambas- sadors to settle this problem and Poland repeated this request. Thus the decision of the council on March 15, 1923, awarding Vilna to Poland is binding upon both countries and cannot be questioned by any inter- national document concluded with only one of the interested parties. While discussing the Polish note with newspaper men, M. Zaleski said that Poland would continue to carry on a peaceful policy in eastern Europe in spite of what are felt to be provocations by Lithuania and Soviet Russla. Ready to Sign Pact. In order to pacify the east of Eu- rope, he said, Poland will be always ready to sign a guarantee pact, but only a pact equally guaranteeing all countries in that section of Europe. The minister of foreign affairs also sald that recent negotiations between France and Germany contained no menace for Poland. Of late, he added, indications could be noticed that Ger- many's attitude toward Poland was not so entirely negative as before.

Drop of 25 Per Cent is Anticipated By Planters NEW YORK, October 23 (#).—Esti- mates by Cuban sugar planters that the damage from the recent hurricane {would cut down the output of the cane flelds by 25 per cent are by no means exaggerated, Lamborn & Co., sugar brokers, were informed by thelr Havana representatives today. Losses in some flelds, said a cable message to the firm, range as high as 50 per cent and in many others from 30 to 40 per cent. An ingpection trip after the storm revealed that many cane fields in the center of the hurricane zone were laid flat as though a roller had passed over them and many of the stalks were up- rooted.

One way to cut costs and thereby render improved service to consumers at lower costs, while at the same time glving greater returns to the investor and to workers, is to improve man- agement. Such is the under] thought in ‘“Management Week. It is significant that the topic chosen for the central theme of the meetings to be held next week throughout the Natfon i=_“Progress in Waste Elimi- nation.” It is recognized that it is time to pause and take account of what has been accomplished and where the individual industry and business {s headed in this program of elimination of waste that has been slogan of the country these last ears. Through exchanges of ideas” in the approaching meetings, most of which will be in the nature of “‘experience” mestings, it is hoped to further promote assaults against wasteful methods. This will be the fifth annual “Man- agement Week.” Interest and attend. ance have increased each year. The events next week are sponsored by a natfonal committee composed of repre- sentatives of six organizations—the American Soclety of Mechanical En- gineers, American Management Asso- olation, American Institute of Ac- countants, Society of Industrial Engi. neers, Taylor Society and the divi- sion of simplified practice of the De- partment of Commerce. Co-operating are chambers of commerce, Rotary, Kiwanis, Civitan, Lions and other luncheon clubs; technical societies, universitles, labor organizations and many large and small corporations covering a wide fleld of activities. Waste Challenges Managers. Management has been under fire. It has been charged with more than half the waste of which industry {s accused. It is being put to the test increasingly by the changing charac- ter of ownership of corporations in this country, where in numbers which mount daily the general public is becoming an investor in business and in industry. Particularly is there a trend toward employee ownership. La- bor is becoming the money partner of capital. ‘When the consumer appears in that role and also as stockholder and as employe, which s increasingly- the case, management must look more closely to its laurels. Waste {8 a term used not in the sense of a willful and wanton loss, but as meaning the use of any method {n business which can be supplanted by a better and cheaper method. Tt is the thing that adds the prefix “high” to cost of living. Using the broad sense of the term, Secretary of Commerce Hoover has said that waste is causing “the avoidable loss of bil- lions of dollars a year.” Excessive varletieg of stocks and sizes, standardization, labor turnover, accurate accounting, the use of sta- tistics as charts, distribution methods will be some of the subjects which will be discussed during the coming week from more than 300 rostrums. A few years ago a committe of 18 industrial experts of national stand- ing made a survey of six basic indus- tries. It reported a grand average of waste amounting to 50 per cent, and charged more than half of the re- sponsibility to management and less than a fourth to labor. Since then there has been progress in the elimination of waste, A fresh start is expected to result from the audit of accomplishments and the ex- perience exchanged during *“Manage- ment Week."” e NEW YORK, October 23 (P).— Wireless stations tonight had received no further word of the British freighter Eastway, which last night sent out SOS calls for assistance.

DESPITE SLUSH FUND HANDICAP (Continued from First Page.) ceived 200,000 votes, all of which would indicate that Magill must roll up a big vote if he is to cause the defeat of Smith this vear. Tt is true that Brennan has injected a new issue, the wet and dry issue, and that there are hundreds of thou- sands of wet voters in Illinois, many of them among the Republicans as well as the Democrats. It is this ! iseue plus the Magill candidacy upon which Brennan counts to pull him through against Smith. He figures | there are more Republican wets who will vote for him than there are Democratic drys who will vote for Smith. He counts particularly on German-American Republican voters. Smith’s Following Large. Col. Frank P. Smith has a tre- mendous following in Illinois. It is said that his photograph graces the homes of more voters than any other man in public life today. How strong his organization is was shown in the primary last Spring, when he defeat- ed Senator Willlam B. McKinley. McKinley himself had no slouch of an organization. If he had not re- celved $126,000 from Samuel Insull, the public utilities magnate, to aid him in his primary campalgn this year, or even if he had received this money and it had not become known, his victory in the Senate race would have been as certain as the victory of a Democrat in South Carolina, de- spite the wet issue raised by Bren- nan. But his campaign did benefit from the Insull contribution, while Col. Smith was head of the Commerce Commission, which supervises the public utilities. And the Reed sena- torial investigating committee drag- ged the contribution into the light of day and gave it the widest publcity. Immediately there was a how both because of the hugh expend! tures in the Smith primary campaign and because he was willing to ac- cept such sums for his campalgn from a man to whom he was in an official position to grant favors. It stuck in the craw of both the Repub- lican organization and the dry organ- ization of the State, both out to beat Brennan, but they swallowed it and Smith along with it. “What can we do?” was the plaintive wail of the Republican and dry leaders. “There is no possibility of beating Brennan with an independent candidate, and Smith won't take himself out of the race.” Dry League Suffers. The Anti-Saloon League, which is supporting Smith, only within the last few days came in for a terrible “panning” because of its attitude when the Reed investigating commit- tee came back here to give the boo- dle scandal a final twist "before the election. Senator Reed dragged from its leaders statements that practi- cally asserted any means was justi- fiable to beat Brennan, the wet. Ma- gill supporters here say that the league, by its present attitude, has lost caste in the State to a great ex- tent. The wets are openly pointing the finger of scorn at the league. National issues—unless the wet and dry issue be regarded as such—are not discussed in this campaign, ex- cept by some of the political spell- binders. The people are talking only about booze and boodle, about this Job and that. Underlying, it is true, are the Republican principles of gov- ernment, with the protective tariff, economy of the Coolidge administra- tion, and the Democratic principles of government. They will influence some of the voters to vote the party ticket, of course, but the talk of the street s of candidates and liquor and cor- ruption. Many of the voters are thoroughly disgusted with the entire layout, Some of them are saying that if they must vote they prefer to vote for their “own dam rascal. h’;f little to choose between the two principal candidates. Into this mess within the last few weeks Hugh S. Magill has been pro- Jected. For four years he has been executive secretary of the National Council of Religious Education, which federates all the Protestant churches of America for the promotion of moral and religious education. Magill Has Been Active. For three years previous to that |Dals he was secretary of the National Edu. cation Association. He has been superintendent of schools in Spring- fleld, Ill, and under appointment of Gov. Louden he was director generar of the Illinois Centennial, 1917-18. Magill is not a total stranger to politics by any means. Ho was a member of the State senate for two terms and regarded as a leader among the Republicans. He led the fight on ‘Willlam Lorimer, who was eventually thrown out of the Senate of the United States beacuse he had purchased his election. He wrote the resolution which reopened the investigation of the Lorimer scandal after the Senate had first voted not to expell Senator Lori- mer. Mr. Magill claims that a condi- tion similar towthat of the Lorimer days exists In Illinols. Charges were made by Anti-Saloon League leaders that a $400,000 slush fund was being raised to elect Magill this year. Magill denounced this as a lie, and no evidence has been forth- coming that any such fund exists. He insists that his campaign will not cost more than $25.000. and that he will keep entirely within the law. Approached By Safford. Maglll, on the other hand, has told and retold many times a story of how Dr. Safford, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League for Illinois, came to him and urged him to withdraw from the race so that Smith mighty¥ be sure of defeating Brennan, and | how Dr. Safford said that if he would withdraw the Anti-Saloon League would get back of Magill for the Sen- ate when the mext election rolled around. “I declined,” ‘thundered Mr. Magill todgy, discussing this matter. “I am not ambitious to be a Senator. My aim is to help clean up this mess in Illinois politics.” Magill is a big, upstanding fighter: there’s no doubt about that. If he were able to get before all the voters and be heard he. might have a chance to win, The trouble is that he can hope to reach but a small percentage of them personally. It is true that wide publicity has been given to the detalls of the eituation in the news- papers of the citites, to the part which has been played by each of the principal actors and by the Anti- Saloon League. But there are thou- sands of voters who probably have heard or read nothing about the mat- ter. Magill has no speakers out for him. He is fighting.almost single- handed. A number of clergymen have endorsed him, and have criticised the leaders of the Anti-Saloon League for supporting Smith. Some of the wom- en’s organizations have declared for him. Smith Handy in Fight. Col. Smith is a handy man in = fight himself. He has a pleasing per- sonality. His friends insist that the thousands who have admired Smith in the past have not been turned against him now. He is dry enough to suit the Anti-Saloon League, al- though he has said he would be guided by the decision of the people regarding the liquor question, if the question is put in a legal and consti- tutional way. In other words, if the eighteenth amendment is repealed, he will go along. The Republican State platform is dry and declares for law enforcement. The Cook County Re- publican platform, however, is wet. Col. Smith and Cook County leaders have apparently come to some kind of agreement whereby he is accept- able to them anyway. Former Mayor Willlam (Big Bill) Hale Thomp- son has come out with a slashing at- tack on Bremnnan and in support of Smith. He fnsists in his talks to the people of Chicago that Brennan, while promising to amend or repeal the Volstead act if he becomes Sena- tor, must take an oath if he {s sworn in as Senator to uphold the Consti- tution. ““He .promises the people to do away with ‘prohibition on the one hand.” says Big Bill, ““on the other, he prom- ises God to uphold the Constitution, which provides for prohibtion.” George E. Brennan, the genial Demcratic Boss of Chicago, is lying in a hospital, recovering from the ef- fects of a fall several weeks ago. He directs his campaign from there. He is supremely confident that he {s go- ing to win. His lieutenants bring the news and carry his orders. Many Reports of Deals. Reports of deals in Chicago between Democratic and Republican organiza- tions and factions are widespread, but there has been nothing tangible brought forward to show such deals. They may exist under the surface.| There is complaint on all sides of a | dearth of money. The Reed commit- tee stands ever a menace, like a booga- boo to frighten children. The Repub- lican State chairman declares, for ex- ample, that he has less money to run this whole State campaign than he has had in the past to handle a cam- n in a single district. It is possi- ble that in the last days before elec- tion, and election day money will be poured out to meet the needs of wards and precincts. In fact, it would be a surprise if the money was not forth- coming. Illinois is not proud of this cam- paign. Its people are disgusted. Whether they are ripe for a real re- volt remains to be seen. Election day will show. So far, the revolt has not appeared on the surface. — Rutherglen, a busy community near Glasgow, recently celebrated its 800th birthday anniversary.
