SECRETARY TO OUTLINE AMERICAN VIEWS IN NOTE | Although White House Receives! Word Major Difficulties Have| ' Been Overcome, Castle Expresses Doubt Information Indicates Full Acceptance of Principles. | 1 | B the Associated Press. | PARIS, July 4—The Havas News ‘Agency reported today that the decisions reached at this after- noon’s cabinet meeting probably would be communicated to Secre- tary Mellon and Ambassador Edge at another conference between them and Premier Laval early this evening. The cabinet meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the status of the negotiations over the Hoover war debt plan. Secretary Mellon and Ambassa- dor Edge conferred at noon today with Finance Minister Flandin on the two points still at issue be- tween France and America. The American negotiators talked with the finance minister more than half an hour. It was said at the ministry that previous to the cabinet meeting this afternoon Mr. Mellon would communicate to M. Flandin a note definitely outlining the American point of view on the points dis-| cussed. Expect Agreement Today. Announcement that France and the | United States had a at a com- plete agreement on the plan to aid Ger- many was confidently expected today. ‘The French cabinet is meeting to consider two minor points which are said to be the only barriers in the way of acceptance of the proposal by France. | As the result of a lengthy meeting of the delegates last night it was under-| stood that four points—which the French call “minor” and the Americans “secondary"—remained to be settled. | Two of these finally were eliminated,| it was learned, and two are betnz[ threshed out today. The more important one was said to be the question whether France should be compelled to deposit a $125,- 000,000 guarantee fund with the Bank for International Settlements in case Germany declares a moratorium at the end of the one-year period. As this in- volves the Young plan, it may require consultation with signatory nations especially Great Britain. France was represented as feeling| that she should not be forced to de- posit this sum in addition to foregoing German reparations for one year. She has pointed out that the world bank has optional powers in this respect and inferentially trusted they would be in- vcked. A compromise on this aspect is believed to be in process. An agreement as to the number of years Germany will have to refund the unpostponable payments of the Young plan was sald to have been effected. France had suggested five years and America had insisted on 25 years, but they were belleved to have struck a medium at some pericd more than 10 years. CASTLE 1S DOUBTFUL. Holds Information Fails to Indicate Acceptance of Principle. Confident that a moratorium agree- ment was near, American officials to- day looked to Paris conferences to elim- inate the remaining points of difference between France and the United States. Although tht White House received word from Paris that the major diffi- culties had been smoothed out, Acting Secretary Castle expressed doubt that the information indicated full accept- ance of the principle of President H ‘ver's proposal to benefit the world eco- nomic situation by & year's holiday from war debt and reparations payments. ‘The exact status of the situation was not announced last night after Presi- dent Hoover listened in on a telephone conversation between Secretary Mellon, in Paris, and Acting Secretary Castle.

GRAHAM, DEAN OF HOUSE, EXPIRES Representative Who Backed . Plan to Give D. C. Vote Is Dead at 80 Years. Representative George Scott Graham, Republican, of Pennsylvania, 80-year- old chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and one of the leading ad- vocates in Congress of national repre- sentation for the District of Columbia, died today at his Summer home in Islip, N. Y. Mr. Graham had been ill for several months, but his condition was not re- garded as critical until two days ago, when he was stricken by paralysis, ac- cording to the Associated Press. Representative Graham's death was the sixth among members of the next House. The Republicans and Demo- crats now have lost an equal number— three each. The Republicans still have a majority of one, with 215, against 214 for the Democrats. There is one Farmer- Labor member, and five vacancies re- main to be filled. Oldest House Member. One Democratic vacancy, caused b the death of Representative Aswell of Louisiana, already has been filled by another Democrat, John Overton. Immediately after learning of Mr. Graham's death, President Hoover dis- patched a telegram of condolence on behalf of himself and Mrs. Hoover. ‘The Pennsylvanian was the oldest member in either House of Congress and dean of Republican dele- gation from Pennsylvania. He became the oldest member at the death last Spring of Representative Cooper of ‘Wisconsine Backed D. C. Vote Plan. Death occurred at 7:25 o'clock this morning after a period of coma which followed the stroke. His wife and im- mediate family were at the bedside when the end came. As head of the Judiciary Committee Representative Graham had presided at many of the hearings held on_ legisla- tive proposals for granting suffrage to citizens of the District. The arguments which he heard during these hearings convinced him of the justice of pleas in behalf of voteless Washington, and he threw his influence toward the movement for a Constitutional amend- ment to grant local residents repre- sentation in Congress and a vote for President and Vice President. His sup- port will be missed keenly by propo- nents of the amendment, it was said day. Born in Philadelphia September 13, 1850, Mr. Graham received his early education in the public schools of his State and from private tutors. He was graduated from the University of Penn- sylvania with the degree of LL.B. and from Lafayette College with an LL.D. as f the Select Coun- MAN HELD AFTER TRIO DISAPPEAR FROM BOAT Three Seattle Residents Missing From Cruiser Are Believed Drowned During Party.

POPES ENCYCLICAL ASSAILS FASCISTS' INSULTS T0 CHURCH Attempts to Alienate Youth Seen in Anti-Club Activities. [PARTY LOYALTY OATHS BRANDED AS ILLICIT Defends Societies Against Charges of Political Interference—Says State Needs Support. By the Associated Press. VATICAN CITY, July 4—A papai | attack on the Fascist party for its attitude toward the church and a de- fense of the Catholic Action Soclety | were before the Catholic world today. Pope Pius XI in an encyclical letter made his first detailed explanation of the current controversy between the | church and state over the closing of youthful organizations affiliated with Catholic Action. Neither Premier Mussolini nor the party itself was mentioned by name, but e reference was plain in the Pope's statement concerning “irreverences and violences which took place in the pres- ence of and with the participation of | members of a political party.” Sought to Alienate Youth. “That which was desired and that iwhich was attempted was to tear away from the Catholic Action Society and through the process to tear away from the church the young, and all the young,” said the encyclical. “This confirmation is made all the more explicit and categorical, we were almost about to say solemn and violent, by the one who not only represents all, but who can do all and who confirms it in official or quasi-official publications | dedicated to the young.” ‘The pontiff opposed in vigorous terms the allegedly anti-Catholic activities of Fascismo and its control over the young. “We cannot be grateful,” he wrote at inother point, “to one who after put- ‘ung out of existence Soclalism and | anti-religious organizations * * * has | permitted them to be so generally re- | admitted * * * and has made them even stronger and move dangerous in- asmuch as they are now hidden and “nl.w protected by their new uniform. Calls Oaths Tilicit. “You ask us * * * what is to be thought about the formula of an oath which even little boys and girls are obliged to take about executing orders without discussion from an authority which * * * can give orders against all truth and justice. The answer from the Catholic point of view, and also from a human point of view, is in- evitably only that such an oath as it stands is illicit.” Charges that the Catholic Action So- clety had political aims were untrue, the Pope sald, and its disbanding throughcut Italy was a crime against the church. The closing of the youth clubs, he sald, was carried out “with tactics which would give the impression that action was being taken against gerous organization of criminal: Many officers of the law rebelled against this duty, he said, “but in sad contrast to the manner of these officials there were many acts of violence ex- tending even to the striking of blows and the drawing of blood. “How many insults in the press, in- juricus words and acts against things and persons, not excluding ourself, pre- ceded, accompanied and followed the carrying into_effect of this lightning- like police order. * " Feels Speech Necessary. “It is easy to admit, and it was equally easy to have foreseen, that the ing Cathclic Action) could and would have almost necessarily been ex- ceeded. * * * “If we should be silent * * * we would be more unworthy than we already are to occupy this august apostolic chair.” ‘The encyclical denles charges that Catholic Action harbors many members of the outlawed Popular party, assert- ing that such members of that party as have become affillated with Catholic Action have pledged themselves to re- frain from political activity. “We find ourselves,” the Pontiff writes, “in_the presence of facts which re- (Continued on Page 2, Column 4.)
