A—2 x% SIENFCANCE GVEN THP BY STINSON Improvement of Chances for { Arms Parley Seen Motive for Visit Abroad. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The intended visit of Secretary of| State Henry L. Stimson to Italy, France, | Germany and Great Britain is con- sidered in Washington diplomatic cir-; cles of paramount importance and as a | sign that America is again taking a! keen interest in European affairs. { Mr. Stimson has announc:d that the object of his trip abroad is exclusively to enjoy a holiday, but added that it will be impossible for him in his present | official capacity to avold exchanging courtesy calls with the important po- litical leaders of the four countries he intends to visit. It is naturally as- sumed that during his conversations with the European statesmen the Secre- tary of State will not confine hims:lf to discussing weather conditions in| Europe | Confirmed Gloomy Reports. On the eve of the General Disarma- ment Conference, Mr. Stimson has been advised by his most faithful collabora- tors that the political situation in Eu- rope is such that a disarmament con- ference without the necessary political preparation would end disastrously. | Under the circumstances, he was told | that the best thing would be to obtain | from the intcrested powers a_postpone- ment of that con! nce. Both Am- bassador Hugh S. Gibson and Senator Duwight Morrow, who have only recently Teturned from Europe, where they were in close touch with European states- men, have confirmed the gloomy re- ports reccived by the State Department. But a postponement of the General Disarmament Conference would have a very bad moral effect throughout the | world. It would be regarded as an ad- mission of weakness and would expose a rift between the principal European nations which might have far-reaching consequences, especially in Europe. On the other hand, while France and Great Britain might be favorable to a postponement of the conference, Ger- many is most insistent that it should be held at the date agreed upon at Geneva last November. The German government finds itself in a precarious political situation and for the time be- ing cannot entertain any idea of post- poning the conference, at which it has Tothing to lose and everything to gain. Hopes to Enhance Success. ‘Mr. Stimson has consequently decided to go to Europe and discuss this situa- tion with the heads of the European governments. He wants to find out for himself what can be done in order to avoid a situation full of dangers for Europe and, indirectly, for the United States. His aim, it is stated, is not to find a way to postpone the conference but to devise, with the other European for- eign secretaries, a plan whereby the conference can be held at the fixed date with fair prospects of success. While the secrctary has full confidence in the diplomatic ability of the Ambassadors which are representing the United States abroad, he believes that direct conversa- tions between him and the prime min- isters of France, Italy, Great Britain and Germany would be more effective and more likely to yield positive results.

Secrecy was maintained about them. Reports about arrests began to develop when the Fascist directorate | gave notice of measures against anti- Fascism. Vatican sources said that Attorney | Corsanego, honorary president of the Italian Catholic Young People's So- ciety, had been taken into custody and that numerous others had been arrested on political warrants. Senor Corsanego was said to have been handed a “polit- ical admonition,” which usually pre- cedes banishment to the Islands of | Lipari Other reports said that about & dozen leaders of the society had been arrested in various cities in the country on the grounds that they had waged political warfare against Fascismo. The gov- ernment. declined to confirm or deny this and refused to give out informa- tion concerning arrests. The Lipari Islands, a volcanic group off Sicily, are used as a place of exile for political prisoners. The occupants are said to enjoy the freedom of the town of Lipari, but are forbidden to leave the zone of detention. Many dis- | tinguished Italians have been sent there | in the past. Premier Mussolini is | mobilizing the strength and spirit of | the Fascist party to stamp out “what remains and so far has been spared” of anti-Fascism, particularly erganizations. Presiding at a meeting of the party" directorate yesterday, Mussolini ordered more than 1,000,000 of his followers in 9,000 groups throughout Italy to| marshal themselves within the next few | months with the idea that such ele- ments should not find “refuge and pro- tection. in’ Catholic | ic was told officially in al statement issued by the Directoraie that | there was an attitude “openly and sur- fously hestiie in some sections of tholl Political and military education were to be em- phasized, the statement said, so that | youth would be “ready for any Directorate acknowledged its | “profound and immutable respdct” for | the Pope, th» priesthood and the, Catholic Church, but declares it was determined not to tolerate anti-Fascism “under whatever banner, old or new.” MUSSOLINI GIVEN PRAIL Despite his policy of suppression, Pre- mier Benito Mussolini has saved. Italy { from the depths of cconomic depression, Dean William Frederick Notz of the | Georgetown University School of For- cign Service, declared yesterday. Although Dean Notz, who recently | returned ‘from a three-month tour of Europe, declined to comment. on the row between the Italian dictter and Pope Pius XI, he described I Luce as one of the “most powerfu. personalities on the continent.” | As for the dispute between Mussolini and the Pope, that will have to be | settled “by the proper authorities,” the | dean pointed out, adding: he less said about the matter by any one other than those concernea, the better.” i Although Dean Notz did not visit the | premicr on his latest trip to Europe, | e had an opportunity to become rather wwell acquainted with him back in 1922. The dean met Mussolini just before he made the march on Rome which re- sulted in the Fascist party's rise to power and Mussolini's subsequent eleva- tion to the dictatorship. The secret of the Italian leader's suc- cess, the dean continued, is the same as that of zll the other outstanding Euro- pean leaders.

Schiff, banker, philan- thropist, member of the firm ¢f Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and president of the Boy Scouts of America, died suddenly dur- ing the night cf a heart attack. He would have been 54 years old tomor- row. After a day which included his usual visit to his office, an afterno-n round | of golf, and dinner with his family, he retired to his room. He was found dead clad in a lounging robe and seated in a chair. He was to have salled next week to Europe to join Mrs. Schiff. Mr. Schiff, who was born in New York City June 5, 1877, had been a partner in Kuhn Loeb & Co. since the first of the century. He was married April 30, 1901, to Adele G.

He reminded the embryo officers that more and more the Nation's sea forces were being called upon to render peace- time service to their own country and to other peoples.

Cites Past History. “Recent examples of such embassies of service are found in the record of the West Indies hurricane and in the Managua earthquake.” He also charged the class with con- tributing to the Naticn's progress in science and engineering, as well commerce. In this connection he recalled contri- butions in the development of radio communications, aviation and the mer- chant marine. “To the merchant marine,” Jahncke sald, “the Navy has given great assist- ance. It is conceded that our pecple of the present day are not sufficiently shipminded; that they should know more about shipping and the intimats relation which shipping bears to the efficient and economical transport of the gocds they produce for world mar- kets.” COMMISSIONS FOR 364.

To the British Boy Scouts h was “Silver Wolf.” The Eoy Scout movement claims Mr Schiff as one of its founders. He was a charter member of the National Exec- utive Board, chairman of the Scout Committee on _Foreign Relations, a member of the Finance Committee and international Scout commissioner. The Scout award of “Silver Buffalo,” which was conferred on Mr. Schiff in 1926, carried a citation upon his “keen | foresight, devoted interest and generous support ‘which have proved of im- measurable value to the movement.” A statement from Scout headquarters today said: “To Mr. Schiff's powers of organiza- | tion is due the fact that the field of Scouting has been extended to practi- cally every community in the United States. His field of service has extended far beyond the United States and to his efforts in no small degree is due the advancement of Scouting in a number of foreign countries.” BAND CONCERTS.

JOB AID 1S ISSUE Problem, Labor Espous- ing Human Side. This is the fifth of @ series of nine articles on the dole which was written after several weeks of in- vestigation in England. Disadvan- tages and benefits are given in an unprejudiced discussion. BY CYRIL ARTHUR PLAYER. | By Cable to The Star. LONDON, June 4.—Before long there {will be a general election in Britain. The issue will be once more the solution of unemployment. But whereas on | former occasions there has been ne visible solution other than to keep alive {the army of the impoverished, today these and emerging from eexperience sound ideas. spective political creeds. For whereas the issue of unemployment has long been non-political, even if not so recog- nized, it is not yet non-party. If it were non-party there might be better hope for a solutian effectively applied. Therefore, the dim and | swiftly crushed suggestion of a statu- | tory commission which would auto- | matically be free from parliamentary | interference remains something to think about. At present it is theoretically simple for the authorities to deny bene- rk-shy applicant, ically simple for f parliament to “make it a case” for question in the House of Commons, Agree It Is State Problem. All parties agree that unemployment is a state problem, that unemployment | insurance is both workable and neces- | sary. The war began in 1914. This is 1931. Children born in 1914 are now approaching their seventeenth year. Children too young to comprehend the | war, even when it ended are now in the early twenties. Many of them have known nothing but an era of im- poverishment, of under-privilege, of miserably insufficient rations, of none but homemade pleasures, and there is no work for them. That is serious. Something, at any cost, must be done to keep at least a flicker in these hun- dreds of thousands of young men and wonfen who are growing up in a false and demoralizing atmosphere; some- thing, at any cost. must be done for the homes in_which these youngsters are raised. The methods are un- economic and the treasury is in the red? What of it? Sooner the treas- ury in the red than a generation in| jail for thievery and vagabondage, or in the grave from starvation. ‘That is the view Labor takes. Miss Margaret Bondfield, the min- ister of labor, inherited the problem when it already was a policy of despair. Miss Bondfield represents the practical idealism of the labor movement. In effect, that viewpoint s expressed in the words following, and it may be accepted as the official attitude and justification of the Labor party's atti- tude toward the supreme problem of the land. Here is the official Labor viewpoint: , The country will never get away from a system of unemployment insurance, but it must find a right financial basis. Sickness insurance could be based on known risks, because of preceding data of the sick benefit “friendly” societies. Unemployment insurance is sheer risk. This must be worked out on the ground of insurance. The ups and downs of trade have not yet been suffi- ciently charted. Not until this decade to unemployment. In many European countries, including Germany especially, unemployment has come to stay. Three Reasons Cited. It is a question of perfecting the system to find methods to cover the risk. Unemployment insurance is necessary for three reasons, Labor holds, presenting those reasons as follows: ‘The human reason, that the awful shadow of what's going to happen when the job stops should be mitigated. Socially speaking, it is bad for trade and bad for industry to have this rise and fall in the standard of living. After workers have been submerged it is _hard, later, to find first-rate men. In relation to modern industry, mechanization is replacing human labor. A new distribution for incomes earned by machines is needed to make certain the level of the consuming power in the community. The Labor government has done more than fulfill its contract and is paying those who have failed to keep up contribution. When unemployment started there was a certain period of relief for a certain period of payment, but that proved inadequate. “If we threw people on the poor law (iocal relief) it would be more expensive and would bankrupt the local authorities.” The burden has been taken off the rate-payer and placed on the tax-payer. Unemployment insurance, it is agreed, might be difficult to apply in a big country like the United States. Such a system there would have to be on State lines. The United Kingdom has a fine system of labor exchanges, through which the unemployed can seek work. Unemployment insurance could not be administered without The labor exchange, which never by been developed to its. full M 15, INBRITISH VOTING Tories Take Sound View of have people studied trade in relation Prohibition Agent’s i Car Is Being Stolen On Installment Plan | By the Associated Press.

As to abuses of the system, there is in any system a fringe of people who will sink lower down. There is always some one who would cheat the chas ties. But Labor authority would not | estimate the abuse at more than one- half of 1 per cent, an estimate with which the writer disagrees.

Among the benefits derived from un- employment_insurance, the Labor gov- | ernment points to the fact that there |is no unrest in Great Britain in the | sense the word is used on the continent. | | The present system has saved many people from much suffering.

Haynes as “financlal racketeer- ing,” United States Attorney Leo A. Rover this morning urged conviction of th2 fgrmer president of the Farmers & Mechanics’ National Bank, on trial in Criminal Division 1 of District Supreme Court. Rover was winding up his closing arguments, which he will finally con- clude this' aft>rnoon, after the closing argument of defense counsel, H. Win- ship Wheatley. Wheatley Concludes. ‘When Rover had rested, after a fiery attack on Haynes, which he started yes- erday afternoon, Wheatley began his concluding argument, in which he pointzd out that ths jury must decide Whether Haynes did the things which the indictment charges, and if he did them whether he had criminal intent. Adhering to the original line of his argument, Rover ridiculed the defense contention that false cntries alleged against Haynes were the result of bookkeeping by subordinates for which he was not responsible, and that the manipulation of the banks' fund al- leged to him was to protect the bank and Mrs, Louise T. Chambers, & cus- tomer who had made bad investments acting on his advice. 1 Wants Return Explanation. “When he made profits, he spent the {profits on himself; when he incurred a loss, it was always Mrs. Chambers'.” Rover declared. Rover added that he aiso wanted an explanation of why he showed in income tax returns losses which he had previously sald were in- curred in stock transactions for the oenefit of Mrs. Chambers. “The Government in this case sim- ply asks from you a verdict that you are proclaiming to the world your dis- approval of this sort of financial rack- eteering in the Capital of the Nation!” Roxv‘:rhsxhoutcd. shing back in his ar ent, | Wheatly declared that Rover hgludmdii- cussed everything but the indictment in his statement. | “All the power of oratory and In- | vective have been used to convince you that a man, who for 30 years was honored and respected in this com- munity, suddenly became a thief and | then came on the witness stand and | perjured himself Wheatly told the { Jury. i Outlines Career. | Wheatly outlined Haynes' career, here {rom the time he started as a stenog- rapher in Riggs' Bank 31 years ago: told how the Farmers and Mechanics Bank had prospered under his admin. istration; told of the position he had held in benking circles and the way he was regarded by his associates, and then added: “Men who form those habits of honesty and integrity do not [fall from them suddenly.” Conceding that Haynes “may have made errors,” Wheatley added that “he didn't steal, he didn’t le.” Defense counsel also pointed to the | instructions which will be issued by | Justice Peyton Gordon, declaring that | the jury must acquit if there is “rea- sonable doubt” of guilt. He also stressea *he “intent” that must be taken into consideration. Rover -in his argument pointed out that “intent” must be judged by result. Wheatley announced his intention of covering every count in the indictment if time permiis. Taking up those counts {alleging false entry, which purported to show payments of notes aggregating $41.300 owed to the bank by Haynes, Wheatley said there was no reason for | Haynes to have attempted to hide these notes from the directors, as the prose- cution charged, as they had been ap- proved by the directors. Note Improperly Recorded. One $800 note included in this batch did not get the approval of the direc- tors until after it, with the others, had been incorporated in notes for $50,300. The fault there lay, Wheatley said, be- cause the $3800 note had not been prop- erly recorded in the bank’s records, but this, he asserted, was no fault of Haynes'. : In emphasizing that the notes had been approved by the bank officials, Wheatley particularly stressed that G. L. Nicolson, a director and vice presi- dent of the Farmers & Mechanics’ Bank, had been present at meetings when action was taken upon them, according to the minutes of these meet- ings. The defense used this point be- cause it had previously been brough{ out that Nicolson had ordered paymens stopped on a $30,000 overdraft of Haynes’ and had conferred with a bank examiner, who was called into the meet- ing of the board of directors at which Haynes resigned. Haynes testified that he tendered his Tesignation because of accusations by Nicolson. Justice Gordon said that if the argu- ments were concluded by 3 o'clock this afterncon he would give the case to the Jjury and it was thought that this prah= ably could be done. Mrs. Chambers again was a spectator at today’s session, occupying with a friend a seat just behind Heynes. Mrs. Haynes also attended. Touches Report Charge. In going.into the count of the indict- ment alleging false report to the con- troller of the currency, Wheatley assert- ed that it was erroneous elsewhere than in items laid to Haynes, and that it was no more logical to blame him for one set of errors than another. “Certainly there were errors there that some subordinate in the bank had been responsible for,” he said, and criticized employes of the bank whe had testified about their report, saying their testimony was shaky. As he talked he laid the records of the bank before the jury, pointing to the items which he was discussing. He also declared that “Mrs. Chambers got every red cent of profit from the stock transactions” in which he figured where profit was due. He also critipized the prosecution for not calling Mrs. Cham- h;l]'s as & witness, saying “she was avail- able.” ‘Wheatley asked for an acquittal, de- claring it was “sheer nonsense” to ac- cuse Haynes of a serious crime and then offer only evidence of the sort in- dicated. Rover Delivers Attack. For two hours vesterday afternoon a crowded court room listened to a scath- ing attack on the banker in Rover closing statement. The prosecutor ac cused Haynes of “lying, cheating and stealing,” and said his operations, in- volving manipulation of $250,000, had cost the bank $100,000. Rover scoffed at the defendant’s con= tention that his handling of the bank's funds was to restore the finances or Mrs. Louise T. Chambers and protect the institution. uled the assertion that the false entries alleged against Haynes, both in the records of the bank and in the 1927 report to controller of the currency.

Better to Stay- Stenographer. g to the high place which Haynes d attained in the banking world from an humble start as stenog- rapher in Riggs National Bank,.Rover declared “it would have been better for Harry Haynes had he remained a stenographer at Riggs.” He told the jurors they were not to concern themselves with whether Mrs. Chambers had made or lost money, whether Haynes had done the things 3 ‘Government charges. \
