. CHURGHES DEFIE CVEWOF .S ROLE Federal Council Would Have Nation Support Disarma- ment Conference. The Executive Committee of the Fed- ®eral Council of Churches of Christ in America, which last night adjourned its two-day annual meeting here, selected Indianapolis, Ind., for the 1932 quad- rennial convention of the Federal Coun- | cil_of Churches. | Before the committee adjourned, it Sssued a statement to explain its views toward the United States building up to the provisions of the London naval treaty. “We believe that the United States can give tangible proof of its earnest desive for general disarmament,” this read, “first, by exercising restraint in the building programi to be pursued under the London treaty; second, by icontinuing active co-operation with the Teague of Nations Preparatory Dis- mrmament Commission; third, by ukinzj part in a world disarmament confer- . ence, and finally, by shaping its naval policies with the view of enhancing the success of the naval disarmament con- gerence scheduled to meet in 1935.” A statement that “many of the church | people of the United States no longer | subscribe to the theory that Germany was solely guilty for the World War"” also was approved by the Executive Committee. The council directed that this be sent to church leaders of Ger- many. The resolution previously adopted urging the S:nate to act immediately 5o that the United States might enter the World Court was presented to Presi- dent Hoover at the White House yester- day by Dr. Sidney L. Gulick, s:cretary of the Council's Commission on Inter- mational Justice and Good Will, and other officers of the Executive Com- . Macfarland, retiring fecretary general of the council, was the guest of honor at a luncheon ten- dered him today by the members of the General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains. The luncheon was theld at the Army and Navy Club. A Jetter of felicitation from Gen. Charles P. Summerall was read at the Juncheon and resolutions commending Dr. Macfarland for his 20 years of service, which included active religious ‘work with soldiers and sailors,salso ‘were presented to him by-Col. John T. Axton, on behalf of the chaplains. DR. SCHACHT RETURNS Wells Germans U. 8. Has Sym-| pathetic View of War Burdens.

Prince Albert de Ligne, Belgian Am- bassador to the United States since 1927, who will be replaced in Washing- ton, at his own reqpest, early in Jan- uary, is to end his own long and dis- tinguished diplomatic career after a period of duty as the Ambassador of his country to Rome. Prince de Ligne, a Catholic, is to be succeeded in Washington by an ortho- dox Jew, it was learned here authori- tatively today. The American Govern- ment already has approved the name of the new Ambassador, but the appoint- ment, it was said, will be announced in,| Brussels. Paul May, the Belgian Am- bassador at Rio de Janeiro, is among those considered for the post. Diplomat 35 Years. duous service as a diplomat were said to be the sole reasons for Prince de Ligne in requesting his transfer from Washington. He expects, within a short time after serving at Rome, to retire from service and live quietly on his own vast estates in Belgium. Some time ago the Ambassador ex- pressed a desire to retire, but recon- sidered at the request of high Belglan officials. In June, 1929, it was rumored that he had been recalled, but this was flatly denied in Brussels, the statement saying at the time that his services here had been entirely satisfactory, to the Belgian government. Prince de Ligne is Belgium's second Ambassador to the United States and is regarded as one of the ablest mem- bers of the diplomatic corps in Wash- ington. He is what is known as a “career man” in the service and has held important posts in many coun- tries. Formerly the Belgian Minister to The Hague, he succeeded in Wash- ington Baron de Cartier de Marchienne, who was dean of the corps at that time. Daughters Aid Red Cross. In addition to a son who is being educated in a European university, the Prince and Princess de Ligne have three daughters, the two elder being Princess Elizabeth and Princgss Antoinette, who have been prominent in Washington's social whirl. ‘But the Ambassador and his wife had different ideas of rearing young daughters and a year ago the young women engaged in charitable and welfare work, a part of which was membership in the Gray Ladies, a Red Cross organization at Walter Reed Hos- pital, which works among the disabled veterans. Prince de Ligne has much regretted his inability to be nearer his son, whom TO BE AMBASSADOR TO ROME Family reasons and 35 years of ar-| NING -STAR, TO LEAVE U. 8. he sees on the rare occasions of his return home. It is to be nearer him | and to terminate at as early a date as | possible his own strenuous work in the | diplomatic corps that he sought the | post at Rome, to which he is going | after a leave of absence, upon his de- | parture from Washington about Janu- | ary 15. For more than a century the Princess de Ligne have been ~among the most celebrated families of Belgium. They have sgiven to their country statesmen, soldiers, churchmen and | educators. One of the most famous | of the family was Prince Charles Joseph de Ligne, g, field marshal in the Austrian armies®. He died in 1814. Compliment to U. S. ‘The appointment of the present head of the family to his post in Washing. ton three years ago was regarded as a subtle compliment to the growing prestige of the United States among the European nations. ‘The Ambassador, has prominently identified himself with American life and particularly education. Although he had never before held a diplomatic post in the United States, he had made a visit here about 23 years ago. His con- tact with Americans then and his close study of American affairs gave him a special interest in this country and admirably fitted in with his important ambassadorial duties, which he has fulfilled in a manner eminently satis- factory both to the American and Bel- gian governments. Prince de Ligne has been particularly co-operative with Georgetown Univer- sity during his stay in Washington and recently founded a medal in it$ School of Foreign Service for the pro. motion of closer intellectual relations between his country and the United States. :|WASHINGTON COUPLE | MARRIED 56 YEARS Four of Six Children of Mr. and Mrs. J.

P Secretary Mellon in his annual re- port, addressed today to Congress, pre. dicted a $180,000,000 deficit when the fiscal year ends next June. While making no recommendgtion. the Treasury head recalled pointing out a year ago that continuance of the 1 per cent reduction then made would depend on the revenue prospects this month. These now “Indicate that e temporary decrease cannot be con- tinued during the current year.” Contrasting with the deficiv forecast, the 1930 fiscal year surplus was $183,- 789,215. Every bit went toward retire- ment of the public debt, which stood at $16,185,308,299 when the year closed. Recommends Refunding. Calculations on the future led to request for legislation making possible refunding operations, which would aim at putting all or part of the rational debt on a lower interest rate basis if money conditions justify. Mellon asked that the new loan law be amended with the object of granting the Treas- ury “complete freedom in determining the character of securities to be is- sued” in any refunding, and to allow eight billion dollars in new bond issues to be put out as a refunding operation, which would retire like amounts of older debt. Further, his report repeated a recom. mendation that Congress free income taxpayers who buy Federal sccurities from liability for the payment of in- come tax on the realization from such investments. That would give national paper the same exemption status as that now held by State and municipal borrowings. o] The Secretary foresaw som~ charges in the form of payment hitherto re- ceived from foreign goveinments ny e United States as & restlt of war loans, saying: “It is reasonably certain that the December interest payments on ac- count of foreign debts will be paid in cash, and it is quite possible that this may be equally true in June. It is im- possible to forecast what method of payment foreign debtors may- elect, though it is entirely possible that part of the interest payments will be made in securities.” First Deficit Since 1919. If the deficit materializes, it will be the first time a surplus has been missed since 1919. Mellon looks to 1932 to bring back a favorable balance, to the extent of $30,600,000. The estimates set the income tax revenue then at $2,260,000,000, or $70,000,000 more than exrwfl ttlxlu‘ year. another evidence of expecti - ter' h:'ul;m in the R nex ul 1st, the Treas Secr tary estimated customs muglpt.s for that itme would be $110,000,000 greater than the $502,000,000 expected ihis year. The latter estimate rep- resents a drop of $85,000,000 under the 1930 figure. Miscellancous taxes are expected to bring $623,000,000 this year and to increase by $53,000,000 in the next. The estimate that $3,834,865243 would be collected by the government this year was $400,000,000 smaller than the estimate submitted to Congress a year ago.
