WARNS AGAINST - IGNORING JOBLESS Jllinois ‘Governor Tells Con- ference Winter Is Approach- "~ ing With Hardships. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, October 14.—A warning against “closing our eyes to actual un- employment conditions” was voiced by ‘Gov. Emmerson before the Unemploy- ment Conference yesterday. “Winter is approaching with its added hardships for the poor, and we may reasonably expect that the usual season- al unemployment of certain trades will be added to those already out of work,” he said. “I do not want to paint the picture darker than it is, but I think it would be a mistake to close our eyes to actual conditions. There are evidences of im- provement and it may well be that, with returning confidence, industry will quickly resume its normal activities. I sincerely hope this may be the case, but in the meantime, whatever we can do toward relieving unemployment will be beneficial in restoring prosperity. Estimates High in Chicago. “Some estimates place the number of wnemployed in Chicago at 10 per cent =t all workers in the city. Demands “~ help from those who cannot secure . bare necessities of life are more than double the normal number, ac- cording to reports of charitable insti- tutions.” ‘The State of Illinois, the Governor said, has done its “utmost” to better eonditions. He said the State’s expen- ditures for road construction, including projects completed and those under con- tract, would total more than $50,000,000. Road contracts alone he estimated at $37,000,000 of this sum. Employs 15,000 Men. “Together the two provided employment for more than 15,000 men ““The example set by the State gov- emment in spending available funds for construction work now, when it is 90 badly needed, is one that may well 1ouowadhr:y m‘ governmental and large es. bo;l:m than this is needed, however, In the present memnc‘.vm x::‘ for the eonference to suggest means connecting the unemployed with said that, while he be- Governor t industrial conditions Charity Not Needed. “The American working man does not D charity, and there is no sentiment anything in the nature of a dole, Great Britain has tried with guch unsatisfactory results.

S. Grow- ing, Declares Venezuelan Soldier of Fortune. Gen. Nogales Scores Embargo on Arms Recently Raised Against Rebels. The American dollar can be directly blamed for the revolution now raging in Brazil, according to Gen. Rafael de Nogales, world-famed soldier of fortune, Venezuelan revolutionist, cowboy and economist, now in Washington. | “It is the fear that President-elect Prestes of Brazil may have entered into secret agreements with American finan- cial interests or American trusts during his recent visit to the United States which has caused a considerable por- tion of Brazil's 42,000,000 inhabitants to raise the standard of rebellion in & misguided effort to save from foreign American_dollar control the country’s chief product for export—coffee,” Gen. Nogales declared today. “It is not true, of course” he de- clared, “that President-elect Prestes has dickered with American money inter- ests or American trusts for financial control of the country's coffee output, but s0 suspicious have the people of the various Latin-American countries be- come of the investors of American dol- lars that the mere fact that President- elect Prestes came into the very strong- hold of the American dollar was enough to fan into flame Brazil's national re- sentment against the investment of American dollars in that country.” Gen. Nogales sees the American dol- lar as the underlying factor in the political situation of several Central and South American republics. ‘Would Stop “Systematic Corruption.” “The main reason why ‘juntas’ of regular army officers are taking the initiative in the resumption of normal political and economic conditions in our Latin-American republics,” he de- clared, “is to stop the systematic cor- ruption which the financial agents of certain foreign interests have been sow- ing among the professional politicians of our republics in order to get conces- sions, monopolies, etc., which they would never have had a chance to get in constitutional, bona fide govern- ments, like that of Uruguay, for in- ce. “In order to attain their aims” he continued, “these individuals have sponsored, and even backed up materi- ally, radical elements, as was the case recently in Honduras. “Many of these promoters, if caught at thelr work in the United States, would go to jail. In many cases in the Latin-American republics they enjoy & measure of official backing from the United States Government. These men even go 50 far as to threaten the Latin- American countries with armed inter- vention by the United States if the citizens of the republics dare protest against or interfere with thair trans- actions. “The inconceivable ruthlessness of some foreigners in the Latin-American republics, particularly American ofl promoters, has created in Latin Amer- ica & sentiment not only of distrust but in many cases outright hatred of every- thing ‘American.’ Cites Ecuadorian Resentment. “This. feeling is evident to such an extent that recently when Dr. Isidro Ayora, President of Fcuador, mentioned blicly his intention of appointing & ird of American specialists to reor- ganize the finances of the country, the public_immediately became so incensed that the military junta which had put Dr. in power came within an inch of asking him to resign. “Everybody who studies Latin-Ameri- can affairs, except the people of the United States, knows that the real rea- son why President Siles of Bolivia re- cently was from power by & military junta was because he had been on the brink of disposing of most of 'Happy--Yé; Sir!] It’s easy to get that way when ‘'you use Bond Ten Payment Service — Because you can say “charge it”, and still get the thrifty savings of Bonds regular cash prices.

Belivia's oll reserves to some powerful American interests. “The reason why Leguia, Peruvian dictator, has been deposed and impris- oned, pending an investigation of his fnancial transactions and those of his essociates, is because he intended to dispose of Peru’s ofl reserve to Ameri- can oil interests. “The reason why a catastrophe was averted in Chile several weeks ago was because the Chilean people, after ma- ture consideration, came to the con- clusion that President Ibanez had not acted in bad faith, but had merely made a mistake when he allowed the Chilean nitrate trust to adopt the expensive and cumbersome system of certain American interests, which, in spite of the fact that they hold only 15 per cent of the trust’s stock, are practically in control of Chile’s nitrate production. “The reason why the dreaded revo- lution in Argentina turned into a prac- tically bloodless change of government was that the people of Argentina, in spite of the great respect they always fclt for the aged and honorable Presi- dent Irigoyen, thought it about time to put = stop to the activities of a certain group of political grafters and poli- ticlans who sought to undermine the army and get & free hand in an organ- ized compaign to turn the control of the principal national assets to American and other foreign interests. “And so we come on to the causes of the revolution in Brazil. Governments in Latin America have been overthrown for fear of the dollar and its trall through Central and South America. American Control Dread Is Real. “This dread of American control, probably only a fancy with the rebels of Brazil, nevertheless is a real bugaboo for those people. They do not want their country, which they liberated from Portuguese dominion, controlled in_any way be financial interests. They have seen the effect of American dollars on other Latin-American countries, and they will take no chances with thelir own country.

H. L. Rust Agent Company ts TWO TROUSER STAR, WASHINGTON, Brazil has been enough to fan a revolu- tion into flame. “There are, of course, contributing causes in Brazil. There is general dis- satisfaction over the result of the elec- tion which made Prestes President-elect. Prestes comes from the same state as the present President, Washington Luis —=8ao Paulo, the coffee state—and both Luis and Prestes have been reported in favor of putting most of the country into the production of coffes at the ex- pense of the development of SUBAT cattle raising and other jmportant in- dustries which have forraed important sources of the country’s national rev- 2“""';'})11, added to the suspicions which the recent visit of President-elect Prestes to the United States bas aroused and the fear that the dollar has bougnt its way into the control of the country's finances, has brought a considerable portion of the country into rebellion. Scores U. S. Arms Embargo. might add that the embargo on arms, announced yesterday by the United States Government, authorizing the sale of weapons and ammunition to Brazilian Government troops and for- bidding their sale to the rebels, brings the United States, to a certain’ extent, in interference with the internal affairs of Brazil. It will not help the senti- ment of any of the Latin American re- publics toward the United States. The Brazilian rebels will be able to get all the arms and ammunition they can pay for trom European manufacturers, and the United States will simply lose the business, as well as what remains of the friendly feeling of Latin Americans for the United States.” Gen.

C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1930. 10 OBTAIN WATER FOR FALLS CHURCH Town Council Starts Move to Bring Federal Supply Into District. Special Dispatch to The Btar FALLS CHURCH, Va., October 14— Told that many of the community's wells are polluted, and that only about two cases of typhoid fever are needed to start an epidemic in the town, the Falls Church, Va., town council moved last night to bring Federal water into that district as soon as possible. About one-half of the wells in Falls Church are dry, the council was in- formed, and the water in many of those still functioning is not fit for drinking purposes. The citizens of the community turned out en masse for the council meeting last night, and many of them stressed the acuteness of the water situation, and urged that prompt remedial steps be taken. J. Fred Huber, & resident of the town, told the council that he had secured two tests of the water in his well, which had been deepened and now contains 8 feet of water. Both tests, he said, re- vealed that the water was not fit for drinking purposes. “I was told by the health officer who analyzed the water for me,” Mr. Huber said, “that if many of the wells in Falls Church were as badly polluted as mine, only about two cases of typhoid would be needed to start an epidemic.” Councllman J. V. Turner said an ex- amination of wells in the Arlington County portion of the town had revealed many of them polluted, and that he be- lieved the same situation prevailed in the Eairfax County side. R. E. Kendrick, representing the Fire Department, said that many of the citi- zens were leaving the town because of the lack of water, and that the shortage greatly increased the potential danger from fire. The following resolution was adopted by the council: “Resolved, that the committee on water, sanitation and public health be directed to discuss at once with the Burchell’s Famous Bouquet Coffee A Superior Blend 25¢ = N.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., October 14.—Con-~ crete construction work was halted by the city council and firemen instructed to return to the old bucket brigade in an attempt to combat the most serious water shortage in the city’s history, So low In the reservoir, its sides have been described as resembling a deserted foot ball stadium. For many weeks sprinkling of lawns and washing of automobiles has_been prohibited. Not long ago a Circuk was forbidden to bring its seal act into the city because of the water it would have required.
