THE EVfiNI G STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY, FRESS FAVORALE | - T0 DEBTS HOLIDAY U. S. Newspapers Hail Plan Proposed by President as Wise Move. Editorial comment m leading daily newspapers of the Nation on President Hoogper's proposal for a year’s postponement on interna- tional debts follows: Baltimore Sun. The content of the President’s plan for world relief is not surprising. It has been well understood for a long time that the place to start was in Washington—with the holding out of & hand to our debtors—and it has taken the President a long time to make up his mind to start. But we think there will be no disposition now to criticize. After all, he was asked to reverse the Republican policy of a full decade. It was a bitter dose. The im- portant thing is that he has acted be- fore it is too late. Philadelphia Public Ledger. Except for Mr. Hoover's declarations that he does not “approve in any re- | mote sense of the ‘cancellation of the debts to us” and that “reparations is necessarily wholly a European problem with which we have no relation,” his proposal for a one-year suspension of all intergovernmental debt payments, both principal and interest, including reparations from Germany to the allied powers, would have had the disturbing suggestion of a radical change in Amer- ican policy. Notwithstanding tbe Presi- dent's positive statements, the advo- cates of reduction or cancellation of the debts are deriving much satisfaction from his proposal, which they hope to turn to account in pushing their propa- ganda. “New York Times” President Hoover's proposal to sus- pend for one year all intergovernmental payments, whether reparations or war debts, was suddenly and unexpectedly made public. But it could not have been a headlong, improvisation. He must have based his action on definite and disquieting information from our representatives abroad and from men fully acquainted with the thickening troubles in international finance, * * * Indeed, it may fairly be sald that President Hoover is acting precisely upon the principle lald down not long ago by Mr, Young himself. His words ‘were as follows® “Economic_integration of the world 13 a necessary prerequisite to effective political co-operation in the world. America, as the greatest creditor na- tion, is more interested than any other in economic integration. It is inevi- table that from an economic point of view she take an interest in and be concerned In the material problems and affairs of every country on the globe. Isolation to America, either economic or political, is impossible.” Mr. Hoover’s recognition of the truth of this stands out all over the state- ment which he issued on Saturday. . « . People everywhere will take heart of hope again. They will see that the United States does not intend to pass by on the other side those who have fallen into a great and common misfortune. We are to cast in our lot with them. We are to agree with them that in the world today all nations are members one of another. This is the high significance of Mr. Hoover’s prof- fer of sympathy and help. It restores the United States to the position which it has long seemed resolved to aban- don—namely, that loyalty to our coun- try involves loyalty to the great world- mcltety of which we are inseparably a part. “Boston Herald.” President Hoover has mounted those heights of statesmanship where mil- lions of Americans placed him in fancy when they voted for him in 1928. ‘Whatever may be the final result of his bold proposal to defer war debt pay- ments for a year, they look on him this morning with a feeling that now he SPECIAL NOTICES.

The grateful eyes of a wearled, disheartened, half-revolutiomary world are on him as they have been on no other American since Wilson took ship for Paris as the heard of a party. Hoover has acted without regard to party or politics, hav- ing allied Democrats as well as Repub- licans With him. The most encouraging aspect of all is that heshas taken his case frankly and directly to the ulti- mate tribunal—the people. Wilmington (Del.) Morning News. President Hoover has acted in a mas- terly manner in urging a world debt suspension for one year. The United States has thus given concrete evidence of its good will toward other nations, and this is shown by the abounding joy with which the” President’s plan has been received abroad. Richmond Times-Dispatch. It is a far-reaching, important pro- posal, destined to have a vast effect on our own and many other nations. « The Rubicon has been crossed so far as the Republican administration is concerned. We have taken an action which defl- nitely involves the consideration of the reparations subject. Knowing that our late enemies and our recent allies—at least some of them—are none too anx- ious’ to complete their war debt pay- ments, the next question that arises is whether they will be content with such 2id as America has offered or will reach out for further revision and ultimate cancellation. Galveston News. Mr. Hoover's proposal, timely and sensible as it is, takes on the appear- ance of monumental wisdom when com- pared with his party’s puny, provincial foreign policy in the past 10 years. Un- doubtedly it will, if adopted, hasten the restoration of world prospefity. Louisville Courfer Journal. The news that President Hoover favors -a temporary postponement of the collection of Europe’s war debts to this country is of really epochal im- portance. Be it sald to the credit of the President that h:> is moving in a wise way to accomplish his wise pur- pose. It is inconceivable that Congress will not back him in his proposals as the country unquestionably will, Kansas City Star. The favorable reaction throughout Europe to the first intimations that the President might adopt some such pol- fcy as he has announcéd shows how a new spirit of hopefulness might re- place the present mood of extreme pes- simism. That such a change of spirit might prove of enormous value in start- ing a general economic improvement is evident. The country will look to Con- gress to back Mr. Hoover in a policy fraught with so much hope to Europe and to the Unitpd States as well. Indianapolis Star. The initiative taken by President Hoover has the cordial indorsement of his countrymen. We may not be in the League of Nations, but are not blind to our obligations to others. The United State cannot sit back with more than half the world's supply of gold in its vaults and be unmindful of the plight of its less fortunate neighbors. Presi- dent Hoover, with broadminded states- manship and Americanism, has taken advantage of his country’s opportunity. Chicago Tribune. The financial collapse of the present German government would be a mis- fortune to which the American people would certainly not wish to contribute. ‘We are of course interested in the eco- nomic and political stabiity of Europe, but not nearly so vitally as Germany's neighbors, one lof which at least has thus far shown a minimum of concern over the possibilities from which we are exhorted to have European society at our own special expense. The mora- torium doubtless will be approved by Congress and that virtual certainty, we trust, will have a stablzing in- fluence. Minneapolis Tribune. “The almost instantaneous response of the New York stock market to the announcement by President Hoover that he was considering ways and means for the betterment of Germany's financial condition, shows conclusively how closely American affairs are bound up with those of Europe. “As the days go on something will have to be done for Germany. It is now suspected in many quarters that the root of the world’s troubles had its planting in the treaty of Versailles.” Cleveland Plain Dealer. “The reaction to President Hoover's suggestion of an international debt moratorium brings commendation from both Republican and Democratic lead- ers in this country even as it wins the approval of virtually 21l groups abroad. The suggestion merits this cordial re- action. It applies a world remedy to a world disease. It deserves considera- tion from a viewpoint in which cobwebs are swept away.” / Topeka Capital. “President Hoover's initiative in the critical matter of German reparations payments has had instant reaction throughout the world. The sponta- neous expression for relief is a striking demonstration of the need of action. President Hoover has struck straight at ::le core of the present critical situa- jon. Kos Angeles Times.

Therefore, as soon as he obtained information from govarnmental sources corroborating his own view of the situation, he began conferences with Democratic leaders, every one of whom, it was said at the White House, patriotically supported the movement.

Messages of congratulation and ap- proval for the President’s plan are pouring into the White House. Congratulated by Hurley. Among the messages received was one from Edward A. Hurley of Chicago, a member of the Debt Commission and formerly chairman of the United States Shipping Board, a Democrat, Mr. Hurley said: “Hearty congratulations on your con- structive recommendation. I am con- vinced that your action will have stim- ulating effect on world business. As president of the American Manufac- turers Export Association, consisting of 1,000 members, leading industrial cor- porations of America, which ship 60 per cent of all our exports, I know they tions will profit materially by the confidence | your plan will create with foreign cus- tomers throughout the world,” . Representative Davenport of New York cabled from Paris, where he is now after a visit to Russia: “!ndflxndent inquiry indicates your proposal is thoroughly sound and in Hitchcock Praises Plan. Former Senator Gilbert N. Hitch- cock of Nebraska, Democrat, from Paris cabled the President: “Permit me to congratulate you on debt proposal.

Fisher, former member of the Canadian cabinet, read: “May I, as a one time Dominion cabinet member, now a private citizen, pay tribute to your, stroke of genius whereby you have delivered the nations of the world from burdens that were only breeding discontent and revolu- tion. Forgive a suggestion that you in- sist that any nation benefitting shall undertake not to increase war expendi- tures during moratorium. Countless millions, especially in Europe, will thank God for you.” . H. H. Johnson, manager of the Tren- ton, N. J., clearing house, telegraphed: “¥our move for economic relief of Europe was a master stroke from every angle.” French Reply Awaited. The reply of the French Government as to whether it would agree to forego for a year collection of German reparations in accordance with the President’s proposal is awaited with the greatest interest. It was variously esti- mated here today that the actual net cash which France would receive if the President’s plan were not adopted would be from $38,000,000 to $110,000,000. The net cash is’ what France would retain after paying her debts to the United States and Great Britain during the year. Part of the reparations agreement provides that a peroentage of the money which came from Ger- many shall be used for rebuilding the devastated areas in France and Bel- gium.

Under the pres- ent proposal, according to the view taken here today, all reparaf pay- ments would cease for the period of a year. May Fear Precedent. In some quarters it was suggested that pouihlyq France might be unwill- ing to forego the reparations payments fearing lest it might create a rrecodcm and that ibly claims of er emtr:em:{ n the future might used indefinitely to postpone reparations pay- ments. On the other hand the view was ex- pressed that if all the other nations joined in accepting the plan now ad- vanced President Hoover, France would injure herself far more by with- holding her consent than she could gain by insisting upon the cantinuation of reparations payments during com- ing year. Senator Borah of Idaho, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit- tee, who gave his approval to President Hoover's plan before the President an- nounced it, has been of the opinion that reparations must be readjusted and n:ln ;.rfilmmu ntlun.mbe drastical luce any event. . moratorium would simply “the day of disaster,” accord- to Senator Borah. Praised by Young. ~ President Hoover spent ;"‘esberdny at his Rapidan camp, where b the week end after announcing his plan for suspension of intergovernmental debts. Owen D. Young, for whom the Presi- dent’s war debt plan was named, had said of the President's plan: ‘“The pro- posal to postpone all debt payments, even for a year, is not only the act of a wise President, but the helpful word of a great democracy. Coming at a when we all were beginiing to doubt whether a democracy could act prompt- ly, wisely and helpfully, it is most en- couraging.” Sengl:fr Smoot of Utah, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, who was called to Washinglou by the President to discuss the world debt moratorium proposal, gave it his hearty indorsement. Mr. Smoot said today also that he will confer soon with the President on steps to relieve the depressed silver market. He has abandoned hope of an official international conference on silver as a Britain to cuter such a policy. Criticism Is Heard. Here and there critical comment «n the President’s proposal has been ad- vanced. Representative LaGuardia of New York, Progressive Republican, de- clared the President had usurped legis- lative functions of the Congress and that he should have called Congress to special session before making an offi- cial offer to nations of the world. Mr. LaGuardia said, however, that Congress would ratify the offer made by the President with the passage of necessary legislation. Senator Black, Democrat, of Ala- bama, described as “both amusing and tragic the activities of President Hoo- ver to divert the minds of the people of the United States\from their troubles to Europe’s troubles.” Senator McKellar of Tennessee, also a Democrat, called attention to the fact that the United States Treasury was facing a deficit of nearly a billion dollars and if, in view of this deficit, “we would be justified in add- CAB DRIVER ROBBED AND HIT BY BANDITS Taxi Operator Reports Injury to Head When Two Fares Stage $12 Hold-up.

BANDANNA" BANDIT IS FREED, DREAMS FALL IN BANK CRASH Mother of Bill La Trasse, 1910 Train Rob- ber, Saved Money From Toils to Buy Son Shoe Shop. Speclal Dispatch to The Star. KANSAS CITY, June 22 (NANA). —A weary, toil-worn woman, the mother of Bill La Trasse, the Kansas City ban- dit of 20 years ago, whose nationally notorious activities popularized the blue- bandanna face mask, wrings her hands in desperation as she siis before thz front of her cottage 0! uth St. Paul street, Kansas City, ns., and tells the story of a dream that has been shattered. . Bill La Trasse was released recently {rom the Kansas State Prison at Lan- sing after he had served 13 years and two months for the robbery of a Mis- souri Pacific train on Christmas night in 1910. When he walked out free, a man gone gray and lame from his long confinement, he got on an interurban car. that carried him to the vine-covered Outlined Future. His mother, Mrs. Della La Trasse, had hicken dinner prepared, and as they I te she outlined the future. For four e went for | o years she had been doing janitor work in buildings, washing at night, quilting in the daytime, making every minute count, to build up the dream future for her son and herself. By saving every penny not needed for her actual support the mother, now 78 years old, had ac- cumulated $1,600. ‘That money was to buy a shoe- repairing shop for Bill La Trasse. For 10 years or more he had been an expert on the making of shoes at the prison. He had made the finest shoes for officers and had kept the footwear of the other prisoners repaired. Mother and son ’mfl"d plans for a shoe shop and visited sites, The following day word of a calamity went through the Armourdale section. The Armourdale State Bank had failed reached them Mrs. La Trasse sobbed in | the arms of her son. “Can’t Work in Fields.” “My strength is gone,” she sald to- day. “Willle is restless. He has walked the streets for days trying to get work, and he now talks of going to the har- vest fields. He cannot work in the sun after spending all thése years inside. I don't know what we will do. People won’t give him work when they find out who he is.” An hour later La Trasse, now 47 years old, returned. He showed a visi- tor the flower garden, 20 feet square, in the rear yard of the home where Mrs. La Trasse had probably 20 varle- ties of flowers. Inside the house his bedding was all new, and the rest of the home was dustless and neat. “It's a fine break I get,” La Trasse said. “When I heard of the bank’'s fallure and saw the chance I had did not break. to go back in the racket that takes them all inside prisons. it.

Last night, La Trasse still denied it. ; Owed State Nothing. “Of course, no one will believe me, and it makes no difference, but that is why I tried to get away,” he says. “I owed the State nothing on that job.” After his conviction La Trasse, with two others, escaped from the Wyandotte County Jail. ‘Two years later he was in the South- ern Illinois Penitentiary for burglas He was taken back to the Kansas Peni- tentiary. Two years after that he left the penitentiary buried in a carload of prison-mined coal. He went to Europe, he says, and joined the French Foreign Legion, served three years, was wounded, and then returned to Kansas. He was recognized and-sent back to prison. While he was serving his term for the train robbery he was given a short parole to visit his mother. He broke parole, but was recaptured a year | later.
