* L /STANDS PAT ~ ON REPARATIONS Mills Announces Treasury Has Made No Departure From Debt Policy. By the Associated Press. ‘The American Government’s policy of holding reparations and war debt payments separate is being retained. Undersecretary Mills suld yesterday there had been n departure by the Treasury from the policy toward foreign indebtedness to the United States ap- proximately $11,000,000,000. His state- ment came shortly after that of Under- secretary Castle of the State Depart- ment in which Castle said that while his department adhered to the established policy, should an acute situation arise, the question of revising its attitude would be considered as a new issue. ‘The subject of war debts and repa- rations assumed renewed prominence in international circles following the recent declaration by ‘Germany that a revision of the Young plan of reparations pay- ments was needed to lighten her al burden. 1 /Visit Arouses Speculation. { The departure of Secretary Mellon for Europe and the visit there Secretary Stimson plans to make . this month aroused considerable speculation, de-| spite assurances from both officials that no Government business was contem- plated. Only recently Mellon said, in address- ing a group of foreign bankers, that “under the Young plan and the co- ordinating influences of the Bank of | International Settlements, confidence has been established in the willingness and ability of Europe to honor its obli- gations, whether these be debts arising out of the war or out of the commer- cial undertakings started in the post- ‘war perjod.” ‘While Acting Secretary Mills did not amplify his statement, it was inter- preted by observers as intended to as- sure the foreign governments as well as the American public that there had been no deviation in policy. On the other hand, Castle's state- ment was interpreted as meaning that no action toward a revision of policy could be contemplated until the Amer- ican Government considered the Suro- pean situation as acute. Castle ex- pressed the opinion that this stage had not been reached, and no indication was given as to what the department might accept as a crisis that could re- sult in a change of policy. Creditors Willing for Conference. Creditors of Germany have indicated & willingness to call an international conference to.revise the Young plan. ‘This would leave the way open for the United States to join in the delibera- tions. However, the American Gov- ernment did not participate in the ‘Young plan conferences. American ‘bankers, at the invitation of European governments, aided materially in for- mulating the plan. Germany’s payments to the former European allies coincide with the war debt payments of the latter to this government. The reparations payments are made to the Bank of Internnuoml Settlements, created by the Young plan. They are then credited to the recipient nations, and payments to the United States are made from these credits. A total of $111,838,541 in war debt payments was recelved Monday from 13 nations. Of this, $19,962,525 was applied to the principal and the re- mainder was for interest. | SPECIAL NOTICES. THE ANNUAL MEETING OF nolders of the American Fire Polls open from 11 a.m. to pm GEORGE M.

FERNANDO (lett) and GlYlm“O ORTIZ RUBIO. * Special Dispatch to The Star. | EW YORK, June 16 (N.ANA). | —The two sons of President Or- | tiz Rublo of Mexico, Fernando, 19, and Guillermo, 20, did not arrive at the offices of the International Telephone & Telegraph | Co. to start their new jobs at 8 o'clock | yesterday morning, but, thanks to a! map of New York with which they| charted their course, they managed to reach the offices at 67 Broad street in | their car at 3 in the afternoon, after seven hours of cruising from their apartment in Jackson Heights, eight miles away. They dig succeed, it appeared to J.| de Cosso, head of the company's in- | formation bureau, to whom they re- ported, in touring the Bronx, parts of Brooklyn, with possibly an hcur or so to in Westchester County. It was a du- plication of their feat when they first arrived in New York via the Hudson Tunnel last Thursday, and, instead of turning uptown, drove across the Man- hattan Bridge, miles away in the other direction, in an attempt to locate their domicile. “It will be different tomorrow,” Guil- | lermo said, in excellent English. “We | have found our bearings and will be | busy at 9 in the morning.” | Earn $60 a Month. . They are fine looking chaps, these sons of the chief executive cf the coun- try below the border. They are both | slight, with dark brown hair, flashing eyes and shy, pleasant smiles. They came to New York before, in 1929, lpd for two weeks investigated the offices and laboratories of the telephcne com- pany at the order of their father. Now they have returned of their own volition, speaking fluent English as a result of schooling at Gettysburg Acad- emy and a year at St. Benedict’s Col- lege, an_engincering institution in At- chiscn, Kans. They believe that they can live in New York and see every- thing worth seeing on their salary of $60 a month. Their modest two-room apartment is shared by a third Mexican boy, and so, as Fernando put it naivel ‘'we should be able to get along nicel, They re- quested their father to suspend their allowances until college opens in Sep- tember. “It came about like this,” sald the older of the two. “We bave always been interested in the telephone since our father impressed on us its great value to the progress of any country, City, an associate of this organization, in our spare time. Enjoyed Daily Siesta. “At 6 in the morning we would meet our father and go for our morning ride. He is an ardent horseman, and we literally grew up.in the saddle ourselves. Shortly before 9 we would leave Cha- pultepec Castle, so that we could be on time at our desks. We went back to the castle for lunch, becauss in the hot midday there is a siesta of two hours, but at 2 we were in the office again, to remain there until 6. “Ths evenings were our own, and we enjoyed the social functions at home or at the various embassies. “We want to get acquainted with business customs and methods of the country,” he continued, “and also be- come more familiar with the social ideas that radiate from New .York. We do may broaden our career. Work? of course we shall go to work when our schooling has been completed. I can- not say yet whether we shall choose the telephone business, but, like our father, we shall al be busy. He is up at 6 every day, and becomes relaxed tmly in the evening.” . De Cosso scouted the suggestion thn ‘the jobs of the President's sons might be sinecures. ““They will not be late again,” he de- clared, with a sly glance at the boys, “and they will be treated as any other apprentices who we believe may be- come valuable ‘to us or to ‘the tele- mne industry. They already . have experience, and in the next three monms '.hey will be shifted from one epartment to another, as quickly as will be practicable, ¥ou will have to ask them about their salaries. The company does not give out personal information.” Miss Native Sports, ° “Sixty a month,” broke in Fernando | Ortiz Rublo, rather proudly. “That’s right,” his brother. The soclal life of the various strate bats of New York's mlet{ not- be | neglected. It was admittedly a source of sorrow to Fernando that there would be no bullfights in this vicinity during his vacation, but his brother asked if it would not be possible find a cockfight in New York. Informed that the sport was forbidden, | he sighed with resignation. { ‘The young men have not yet visited & New York speakeasy, but they have heard much about that institution and intend an inspection - before their return, “We don't know where to find one,” | said Guillermo, lolemn\y, ‘and we have very few friends here.” - They had no difficulty in finding the theater district, however, and while Fernando admitted a penchant for musical comedies, his older and quieter brother said he preferred the drama. Both are fond of base ball, and Fer- nando, who was welterweight champion at college last year, inquired about the coming prize fights around New York. Guillermo was more interested in golf and tennis clubs. Both like® dancing and pretty cir).l, and say that the Mexican restauran of New York are myths because t.hey have no Mexican food. “What I would like,” declared the elder, “would be some real mole de guajalote and excellent enchilladas.” “I have been seeking well prepared arroz a la Valenciana,” returned Fer- nando. Impressed by Buildings. Both boys are voracious readers when they are at home, and pro- nounced their favorite authors to be Vargas Vila, Victor Hugo, Gomez Car- rillo and Luis de Val. They were not intrigued by English or American writers. They have been around the hu'bor, and by now have found the )uzh spots | of the city. Guillermo is ‘most im- pressed by the skyscrapers. “But even if they caused us to get lost in Brooklyn.” grinned Fernando | Ortiz Rubio, “my choices are the Hud- son Tunnel and the Manhattan Bridge.” During the interview a brief refer- ence was made to the recent tragedy in Oklahoma, in which a cousin of the two young men and another Mexican youth were shot to death. Instantly the bright manner of the boys chm‘ed. and the elder said, quietly: “Of course, we were profoundly shocked, but we cannot discuss this because we have been directed to re- main silent.” (Copyright, 1931, by North American News- per Alnlnce, Inc) AMERICANS HONORED Mr. and Mrs. Cronau and Eduea- tors Given Reception in Berlin.
