l - A-8 % LEGION DELEGATES | TOVOTEFOR BUNUS} D. C. Group Will Urge Immedi-| ate Payment of Balance at Detroit. A cris’s_extsts which demands pay- ment in full of the amounts of the | soldiers' adjusted compensation certifi- | cates, Comdr. F. G. Fraser of the Dis- trict of Cclumbia department of the American Legion, declared in a state- ment issued last night. The District_delegate to the Legion convention in Detroit will vote for im- mediate payment in full of the balance | of the certificates, Comdr. Fraser said. Congrees cculd take no more direct ac- tion to relieve want and suffering this Winter, he sid than by paying the | balance due the 4,000,000 veterans scat- tered throughout the country. Text of Statement. Comdr. Fraser's statement follows: “The demands ¢f veterans are the subject of aln:ost d~ily ccmment on the front pages, as well ss in the editorials, of some newspapers. THe effort now being made through propaganda to | prejudice the people of the entire coun- try is most unfair and deserving of scathing condemnation. “The present demand for payment in full of the amount of the adjusted compensaticn_certificates will continue to grow until payment is authorized. The veterans, because of the attacks being made upon them, are ready to fight and they will not shirk any more than they did in 1917 and 1918. The payment of the full amounts due the veterans has been indorsed b this department of the American Legicn. This action was taken only after it be- came obvious that the payments to veterans on their adjusted compensa- tion certificates in the past year was one of the most direct means, taken by the last Congress, toward relieving the depression in the country. The billion dollars which was distributed in every State, city, town and hamlet touched the very depths of depression and in such a way that the political lcaders could not effectively make political capital cf the expenditure. Real Crisis Exists. “The coming Winter promises to ex- ceed in want and suffering among our people that of any other Winter througn which this country has ever passed. A real crisis exists and what more direct action could Congress take than to make payment of the balance due the 4.000,000 veterans scattered throughout the entire United States. Their pur- chasing power would be increased, debts paid. necessities of life made possible, and much suffering alleviated. In my opinion, there is no justification for the Congress to delay action as the financing necessary can be taken care of as proven by the action of the Treas- ury Department during the last year. This is now a matter of history and needs no comment. “The veterans have been accused false- ly of causing, by their demands, the deficit which cccurred during the fiscal year 1931. This statement is untrue when all facts are considered. Only recently there appeared in a local paper a statement to the effect that the na- tional debt has been reduced by morz than $10,000,000,000 since 1919 and that $745,000.000 was applied to the further recuction of this debt in 1930, and that the fiscal year 1931 would likewise have seen a reduction except for the great falling off in taxes and other revenues. If the public debt is reduced at the same rate payments have been made to date, there will be no public debt by 1947, which would be 30 years ahead of the original plan, and the present generation will have Paid off more than double its share. Cites Prosperous Years. “With reference to the public debt, I have but to call the attention of the country to the fact that the greatest era of prosperity this country ever en- joyed was during the period 1922 to 1927—all of this prosperity with a na- tional debt much larger by several bil- lions of dollars than the debt of today. “The delegates from the District of Columbia to the national convention in Detroit will vote for the immediate pay- ment in full of the balance of the ad- justed ~compensation certificates, for there is no more reason that the vet- erans, as a group, should walt 20 years for payment of what has been de- termined justly due them n if the industrial and financial groups had been told by the Government ‘We will make payment to you in 1945 These interests were paid and paid promptly upon conclusion of the war and the veterans, as a group, have never pro- tested this action.” CANADA WEALTH SET | AT THIRTY BILLIONS | Increase of 129 Over 1928 Is Re- perted by Bureau at $1,210,000,000. By the Associated Press. OTTAWA. September 12.—Canada is a thirty-billion-dollar _country, the Bureau of Statistics estimated today. The total wealth in the country in | exclusive of undeveloped natural | resources, was set at about $30,840, 000,000. ‘This is an increase of $1,210.- | 000,000 over the 1928 estimate o $29,- | 630,000,000, but the figures are not ex- | actly comparable because of certain | changes in the method of estimation, In the present report is included for the first time an estimate of the wealth in harbors, aircraft and highways.

MRS. NINA PUTNAM OGLE. - Associated Press. YUMA, Ariz, September 12.—Nina Wilcox Putnam, noted writer, and Ar- thur James Ogle were married by Jus- tice of the Peace Earl Freeman here today.

SHOWDOWN IS SEEN ON COTTON MONDAY Open Battle in Texas Legis- lature Expected on Acreage Limit. By the Associated Press. Voting to report favorably bills em- bodying the Long ‘no-cotton-in-193: plan and acreage reduction over a period of two years, the Agricultural| Conmittee of the Texas Senate yester- day left settlement of the controversy between advocates of the two proposals on_the floor of the Senate. The committee made several changes in the subcommittee’s draft of the bill containing the Long plan, eliminating the requirement that three-fourths of the States must ratify it before the law is operative in Texas, and the criminal section providing for a fine and im- prisonment for violatiors. The ratification clause, however, will be taken care of in a section giving the Governor the right to suspend the en-| forcement of the law in event other states failed to follow Texas' lead. Gov. Sterling in a new statement said he did not expect a great increase in the price of cotton to result soon from any acreage curtailment legislation which the Cotton States might pass. He said curtailment would teach the | farmer to diversify, but it would not en- tirely solve his plight. In the mcantime, Eugene Talmadge, | Commissioner of Agriculture for Georgia, | said he had pleaded with Gov. Russell | to call the Assembly into extra session | Monday, meeting simultaneously with | Carl Willlams, cotton member of the SHIPSTEAD TALKS WITH PRESIDENT International Silver Parley Discussed at White House. ‘The question of an international con- | ference on silver and related matters, including the difficulties of the gold standard, was taken up with President | Hcover yesterday by Senator Henrik Shipstead, Farmer-Labor member, of | Minnesota. | Senator Shipstead is a member of | the subcommittes of the Senate Foreign | Reiations Committee, which is investi: gating the silver problem, and he has recently been in Eurcpe in this con-| nection.

Senator Shipstead came away from the White House convinced that if a conference is celled by the British government or some other government the United States will send a representative. Discusses Difficulties. After the conference with President Hoover, Senator Shipstead gave out a statement in which he discussed the difficulties confronting the gold s ard and some aspects of the silver question in the light of his recent trip to Europe and his study of these mat- ters. He declared he found in Europ: an increasing semtiment for a double metal monetary standard to restore trade and facllitate debt settlements. It is expected unless an international silver conference is called, there will be much agitation of the silver and gold auestions when Congress meets. Far Western Senators and House members, as well' as members from the Middle Western agricultural States, are show- ing concern over these mometary prob- lems.

Chadbourne, author of the Chad- bourne plan for restricting world sugar output, sailed late today for New York aboard the Ward Line steamer Oriente. Chadbourne, who came to Cuba last week o see to the working of his plan here, was suffering an attack of arthritis in the left foot, which he at- | tributed to excess of indoor work during recent months. He said most of his time here had been spent in conference with the National Sugar Export Com- mission. He conferred twice with President Machado, Referring to the sugar plan, he quot- ed figures to show that 6,547,000 tons of sugar had been taken off the world market by segregation and crop re- stricticn as a result of the agreement. “In an unprecedented world depres- sion, where other commodities which Julius Lansburgh Furniture Co.ZZ are overproduced have mot held their ground but have gone steadily lower,” he said, “sugar is 40 points higher from its low as & result of the carrying out of this plan.” Chadbourne’s statement avoided refer- ence to the Chadbourne plan as such. He ealled it “your plan,” addressing the Cuban people and Cuban sugar pro- ducers. The agreement was signed by the leading sugar-producing countries of the world at Brussels on May 9 of this year. ‘“The idda that the American sec- tions of the industry,” he said, “have not in practice acted favorably to this proposal is being studiously spread as propaganda adverse to the plan. * * * The total result in the cane sections of the American industry is that they produced 35,000 tons less sugar this year than last, while in the beet sec- tion it is estimated 220,000 tons les: will be pgoduced this year than last.” POOLS KEPT OPEN Swimming to Continue Until Cooler Weather. ‘With the unexpected continuance of | hot weather the Welfare and Recrea- tion Association of Public Buildings an Grounds, Inc., bas announced the Mc- | Kinley swimming pools, First street and | ‘uncol.n road northeast, will remain | open instead of closing tomorrow, as | was previously stated.

A detailed explanation of the pro- cedure for making the new left turn, which goes into effect Tuesday, was broadcast over Station WMAL last night by Willam A. Van Duzer, di- rector of the Department of Vehicles and Traffic. At the same time the District divi- sion of the American Automobile As- soclation announced it would distribute this week 25000 pamphlets graphically describing how to make the turn. The folders will be issued free at the Dis- trict headquarters of the Automobile sociation, the Traffic Bureau and the police precinct stations. Data in the pamphlets place particu- lar emphasis on the importance of a driver entering the proper traffic iane before making the turn.
