Moodward & Lothrop | DAWES REPARATION PLAN 1S DEFENDED Former Accountant Genergl Ridicules Criticism of World- War Claims Settiement. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 8.—A vigorous defense of the Dawes plan, 'both as to its fairness and its prac- ticability, is made by George.P. Auld, who was accountant general of the reparations commission and also assistant to Owen D. Young, co- author- and first administrator, in installing the plan in 1924. In his book, “The Dawes Plan and the New Economics,” to be published tomorrow, Auld ridicules the predictions of J. M. Keynes and other economists that the plan will break down early in 1928; flouts the idea of Germany’s incapacity to pay; says American loans to Ger- many should cortinue, and describes the much discussed transfer problem as a “bugaboo.” ' The author says that the success of the Dawes plan is dependent upon public confidence in American invest- ments abroad, and he opposes the cancellation of reparations, asserting that “the only drain on Germany re- sulting from the payment of repara- tions is the drain on the German taxpayer. There is no capital drain whatever on a debtor country.” Argu- ments to the contrary, he says, are meaningless. The publishers describe Mr. Auld's book as the work of an insider, in- timately familiar with the subject, and who deals with the whole problem from a purely economic basis and with full knowledge of all the facts. $94,000 ROAD BONDS ARE SOLD BY COUNTY Prince Georges Issue to Provide for Resurfacing From Riverdale to Branchville. Speclal Dispatch to The Star, UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Novem- ber 3.—Bonds of $94,000 have been sold by tho Prince Georges County commissioners to the Century Trust Co. of Baltimore. The proceeds will be used for the concrete resurfac- ing of the EEdmonston road from East Riverdale to the Branchville road. The work is expected to get under way in about 10 days. . Upon - authority of last Winter's session of the Legiclature the county commissioners sold $106,000 in bonds to a Baltimore banking concern, the proceeds of which were to be used for building the road. However, the bankers were averse to going through with the transaction, their attorneys holding that the act of the Legislature authorizing the bond is- sue for the work was invalid in that the title to the bill did not, in ac- cordance with law, fully explain the purpose of the bill. Upon the ad- vice. of their attorney the county commissioners decided not to try to lorcla the bankers Lo go through the deal. However, the Century Trust Co. has just agreed to buy all bonds necessary for the work, a contract for which has been awarded at $94,- 000 by the State Roads Commission. This company is confident that the people of the Edmonston road sec- tion are so anxious for the Improve-~ ment that they would not try to block the work through legal techni- calities and that in any event the next Legislature would see that ft lost_mnothing. As soon as the bonds are delivered to the purchasers and the money is received the work will go forward. The road to be improved is from 2 to 3 miles in length. Upon com- pletion of this stretch the Edmonstcn road, which is being talked of as a possible parallel route to Baltimore with the present Washington-Balti- more boulévard, will bé concreted from the National Defense Highway at dl;l-denlburg to the Branchville road. TELEPHONE .ROUTE LAID. New York-Atlanta Trunk Line to Pass Through Shenandoah. Special Dispatch to The Star. WINCHESTER. Va., November 3.— The Shenandoah Valley has been se- lected as a route for a new and im- proved long-distance telephone trunk line between New York and Atlanta by the American Telegraph & Tele- phone Co., it was announced at a meeting of the city council last night by T. Russell Cather, counsel for the company, in asking that a franchise be granted, as required by State law, to use poles of a subsidlary, the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co., for stringing: cables. Richmond, Roanoke and 55 other in- corporated cities and towns of the State have granted the franchise, it was explained. The Winchester coun- cil, however, referred the matter to a committee, being unwilling to grant a franchise on such short notice. The franchise would extend to 1957, whereas the present franchise of the g‘ & P. Co. here expires seven years ence. 117 DRUNKS CONVICTED. Halloween Celebration in Hagers- town Wettest in History.
