CAPITAL PREPARED | 10 RECEIVE LAVAL Premier Is Given Huge Ova- tion Upon Arrival in New York Today. (Continued From First Page) the President and M. Laval. Whether the range of subjects will be widened 80 as to cover disarmaments is not defi- nitely known, but it is considered highly probable that the limitation of arma- ments as a means of furthering inter- national peace as well as economic re- covery will be uppermost in the mind of President Hoover. It is said on high authority, however, that President Hoover is not prepared to enter into any discussion of a security treaty between the United States and France which would give assurance that this country would go to the aid of France in the event she became involved in war, It is considered eminently fitting that President Hoover should take up with the Premier of France the question of what will be done next vear in the event there has nct been sufficient economic recovery in some of the Euro- pean nations to permit a resumption of the payment of intergovernmental debts. France was one of the last na- tions to agree to the vear's holiday of intergovernmental President Hoover on June 20 last. At that time French opini‘m held that Prance should have been consulted earlier with regard to the debt plan. Far-Reaching Effects Seen. ‘The visit of the Premier of France to this country and his conferences with the President of the United States are expected to have far-reaching effects, and to lay the ground for a better un- derstanding between the two nations. Washington has not received the head of an important European government since the visit of Ramsay MacDonald, prime minister of Great Britain, in the Summer of 1929. Mr. visit was a forerunner of the London Naval Conference which began in Jan- uary, 1930, and was attended with im- portant results. It is a singular coincidence that the premier of France comes to this coun- try accompanied by his daughter, as d:d the prime minister of Great Brit- ain. The program for the visit of M. Laval to Washington includes a luncheon to be given Saturday by the Secretary of the Treasury. In the afternoon of that day, he and his daughter will go to the home of Secretary of State and Mrs. Stimson, at Woodley, where they vill spend the night. A stag dinner will be given at Woodley Saturday night. On Sunday morning, informal talks be- tween the premier, the Secretary of State and other officials will be held, and at 1 o'clock M. Laval will b the luncheon guest of the Secretary of Commerce. Sunday night he is to dine at the French embassy, and from there will go to the home of Ambassador Edge, preparatory to returning to New York and sailing for France. At the Union Station to receive the prime minister and his party and Secretary Stimson this afternoor will be William R. Castle, jr., Undersecretary of State; Lawrence Ritchie, secretary to the President; Lieut. Col. Campbeil B. Hodges, military aide {) the Presi- dent; Capt. Charles R. Train, naval alde to the President; the Assistant Secretaries of State; Brig. Gen. Edward T. Collins, U. S. A, and the French embassy staff. Military Reception. ‘The military part of the reception fo M. Laval jncludes the presence In the reception party of Brig. Gen. Col- lins, U. 8. A., commanding general, 16th Brigade, and his staff. At the station will be a guard of honor composed of a company of 100 men and 3 officers of the 12th Infantry stationed at Fort ‘Washington and the Army Band under command of Capt. Fielder. will play the Prench national anthem, *The Marsaillaise,” and the guard will salute the premier. The premier and his party will be escorted to the Edge residence on Eight- eenth street by motor cycle police. There a troop of Cavalry from Fort Myer, under command of Capt. Hugh J. Fitzgerald, and the mounted band from Fort Myer will be drawn up to | welcome the distinguished guest. ‘Trumpeters will give four flourishes and the band will play the French na- tional anthem, while the Cavalry salute and stand at attention.

The former peasant lad smiled calmly | through it all, watched huge airplanes zooming overhead, and faced a great crowd of photographers and reporters with aplomb. “Let me see the Statue of Liberty.” he | sald in the midst of it all. Then he craned his neck out a window of the municipal tug Macom, which, with pen- nants streaming, was about to land him on American soil. | “Ah—beautiful!” he said. At city hall, where he was escorted vith the thrilling pomp New York | stages for its heroes, he said he came | from a nation determined to co-operate with America to help restore prosperity. “A grave crisis has arisen which has interrupted your development, as well as that of other countries,” he said. “In |a world torn with doubt our two great | democracies together must search for and apply methods which will restore | | calm and re-establish equilibrium. “It is through an afirmation of faith and confidence that I desire to come !1nto contact with the American people | I know their enthusiasm. I know that they are capable of generous impulses, combining their deep sense of reality with their noble idealism. They will respond, if necessary, to calls which may reach them from the Old World. | “] speak in the name of country | which is determined to join its efforts| with yours to ward off the dangers | which menace our clvilization.” | Premier Laval spoke in French, with| Ambassador Paul Claudel of France cting as his interpreter. M. Laval brought with him no fixed or definite program on which to base his discussions with President Hoover. He was expected, however, to discuss several subjects which the French con- sider more or less intertwining, yet in a sense separate. Among these were dis- armament, economic recovery, the gold standard, intergovernmental debts, na- tional security and co-operation among nations, particularly between France and the United States. | Expects No Agreement. | As a guest invited to dinner by an- | other self-made man, Premier Laval ex- | pects to permit his host to open the dis- cussion and to give France's viewpoint only thereafter. It is geenrally under- he does not expect to take back | any definite agreement, on paper, or | otherwise, but merely to thresh out with | the President preliminaries looking to- ward co-operation on the various sub- Jects. As the premier stepped down from the Macon through the lines of tall silk hats backed by police cavalry, his | vivacious young daughter, Mile. Josette Laval, walked by his side, smiling upon the multitude. At the waist of her light blue corduroy suit she wore a bouquet of orchids presented by Mayor James J. ! Walker's Reception Committee. A reception aboard the Ile de France was saddened by the collapse of Henri Prince, hotel magnate and official in- terpreter for the Mayor's Committee. | Overworked by the strain of preparation | for the huge welcome, he fell uncon- | sclous on the deck during the hand- shaking. He was removed to the hos- [ pital, where physicians said that al- though he was suffering from a heart attack and & hemorrhage he would re- cover. Chats With Reporters. M. Laval, who hails from the same Auvergne that gave Lafayette to the | world, chatted informally with more | than ‘50 reporters on the way up the % “I find you just as sympathetic as Parisian newspaper men.” He said that despite the fact that this' was his first long journey from home he was not seasick, and his dark Gallic eyes sparkled with pride. Fin- gering a cigarette, he told reporters he smoked a great deal. Before leaving for Washington, after their brief stay, the premier and his daughter gratified some of thelr desire to see New York. They saw it at its wildest. Rolling up Broadway, sur- rounded by prancing horses, with ticker- tape showering and cheers rending the air of the narrow canyon, both seemed | Prance at 8:28 to enjoy it all.

Straggly black hair, swarthy face and soft voice made him @ figure to remember as he stood on the bridge of the tug and doffed his hat | to the strains of the “Marsellaise” and “The Star Spangled Banner,” which floated over the water. He did not even | start when an ear-wracking blast of & siren sounded off almost behind his ear to show him that the city was glad to see him. Taken From Liner. The Macom took Premier Laval, his daughter, Josette, and the official French party and press off the Ile de m. and started its trip back to New York and the Battery, A 19-gun salute greeted the party as they passed Fort Jay, Governors Island. At Battery Park 300 mounted police- men, Army, Navy and Marine detach- ments and military bands awaited the arrival of the Macom. Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson had arrived at the Battery some time before the Macom docked and was waiting in the offices of the Dock Department to extend official greetings of the Government. The Navy was represented at the Battery welcome by Rear Admiral W. ‘W. Phelps and the Army by Brig. Gen. Lucius R. Holbrook, each attended by several aides. Mayor Walker was rep- resented by Albert H. Wiggin, chair- man of the Chase National Bank and chairman of the Mayor's Special Com- mittee for the Reception of the French Premier. ‘Three planes in Army formation cir- cled above the harbor as an merial escort as the Macom, gayly decked with American and French flags, moved through the harbor traffic,c which ac- corded the visitors long salutes from many sirens. Band Plays “Madelon.” As the Macom docked Fire Depart- ment boats in the harbor sprayed streams of water high in the air and the city band broke into the strains of “Madelon,” the popular song to which French soldiers went to war. ‘Through streets lined with cheering thousands the premier and his party left the Battery for city hall at 9:35 o'clock. Lower Broadway was aflutter with French and American flags, and every window of the high buildings was crowded with office workers. Before leaving the Battery for city hall Premier Laval spoke a few words of greeting as follows: “A great and living friendship unites our two countries. It will be signally strengthened, I am sure, by the conver- sations I am about to have with Presi- dent Hoover. It is my hope that a closer co-operation between the United States and France will facilitate solu- tion of the difficulties through which the world is now, passing. “All governments must labor to ban- ish suffering and restore prosperity; they must devote themselves unceasing- 1y to the consolidation of peace. It is to make my contribution to this noble task that I left my country and have come to confer with the President of your great and friendly Republic. The party arrived at city hall at 9:52 o'clock after a ride up Broadway through a paper snowstorm such as New York always gives to famed visitors. Leaves for Washington. Premier Laval and his party left City Hall at 10:59 for the Pennsylvania Sta- tion. There the Laval party was ac- corded another enthusiastic popular reception. The crowd pressed against solid police lines in an effort to get a better view of the French premier, his associates, and his daughter. The special train bearing the premier pulled out of the station for Washing- ton at 11:22 ann At City Hall, just before the French premier left for Washington, he was greeted by Mayor Walker as follows: “You come on a great diplomatic mission, on a great peace voyage, and you come, sir, to meet the President of the United States. Our great anx- fety today is to give you some mani- festation of the fact that, in the en- deavor to bring peace throughout the world and to make for a reconstruction that will lead us out of the wilderness of oppression, which the world suffers from today, we want to manifest and we want you to know that the Ameri- can people have one President and we are all behind him in that g per- sonal endeavor.” EAL cold weather is expected anytime.

(Continued Prom First Page.) versations depend a.good deal on the interpretation the guardians of France's security are going’ to rej by cable to their influential journals in Paris. Reports Not Encouraging. The world is in a sore state today. | Reports from Germany and Great Brit- ain are far from being encouraging. There has been recently an attempt to raid the dollar; some $300,000,000 have been withdrawn from New York by French depositors. This was not a political move; the French depositors considered that they could obtain a higher rate of interest in Europe than in America. Two countries, the United States and France, happen to be today the richest in the world, as far as the possession of gold is concerned. Everybody hopes that the conversa- tions between the leaders of these two countries whl bring some sort of an agreement which might relieve the gen" eral situation of the rest of the world. Both President Hoover and Premier Laval are prepared to explore together all the phases of the present world- wide crisis and possibly lay the basis of some future agreement. The ques- tions which the two leaders will ex- | plore are (1) the German moratorium, (2) the question of disarmament, with the inevitable question of French se- curity; (3) the question of redistribu- tion of gold and (4) the question of reparations and debts. Debt Holiday Is Problem. The President is reported in banking circles to be favoring an_ extension of the intergovernmental debt _holiday, which expires in July, 1932. Germany, it is authoritatively said, is unlikely to resume payments at the end of the holi- day. Practical politics would demand, consequently, that some arrangement be reached before the end of June. Most of the interested countries are re- ported to be in favor of a prolonga- tion of the holiday for another three or four years. France, which has re- luctantly accepted the President’s holi- day proposal, is reported to be cpposed | to _any further postponement. The French point of view is logical. They say that a mere postponment for | another few years is not sufficient for | Germany—what that country needs is | new capital, because since last May she | has been drained of almost all the gold | she had borrowed in this country and | in Britaln. The country is for all in- | tents and purposes bankrupt. If she | wants more cregit, she must do what | any ordinary bankrupt firm does—put | before jts creditors the balance sheet. let | them study the situation and, if more | capital is needed to refloat the business, | the creditors must have their officiai Teceivers to see how the money is ex- pended. This means really a financial control of Germany, which she is unlikely to accept. The idea is pleasing neither to the President nor to our bankers. Con- sequently, the American and the French viewpoints rega: dps this question_are far apart, but it™is expected that a frank conversation between Hoover and Laval might result in bringing the two polnts of view closer than they are to- ay. Arms Question Complex. The question of disarmament pre- sents as many complexities as that of | the debt holiday and is indirectly linked with the question of debts. Premier Laval is avowedly a partisan of disarmament. He does not believe in wars, but believes in French security. His government has repeatedly stated that France cannot think of disarming without obtaining some positive guaran- | tees that she will not be left alone in case of another attack from some of her | neighbors. She has told us officially and unofficially several times that if we | want her to disarm we must enter into some sort of consultative pact. She is willing to leave it to President Hoover to decide what form such a guarantee should take. But even with such a guarantee, it is said, public opinion in France would not accept a reduction of her armies on an equal footing with | her neighbors, A reduction In the budget of the na- tional defense would be acceptable to | her because France, having & conscript army, which costs much less than a professional army, would always be in a position tc have a larger number of men under colors than her most- | feared neighbor, Germany. Face Budget Deficits. ‘The French premier will agree to dis- cuss with the President the question of the coming General' Disarmament Con- | ference, because he knows that this is | a matter which lays deep in the hearts | of the American people. The general feeling in France, however, is that the less said about this question the better for all concerned. All countries in the world are suffering from a terrific eco- nomic depression. All nations have im- portant budgetary deficits this year. It is natural that in order to balance their budgets the Europeal countries will | have to cut their expenditures, and it | is only natural that they should begin with the heaviest expenses, which are at present for their armies and navies. This would come as a natural thine to most countries, provided that public sentiment is not aroused. The best il- lustration of this theory is the French- Italian naval race. Until the London Naval Conference Italy had said noth- ing about naval parity with France. From the moment this question was To taste L4 | to anything else you may su make the meal better — brought before the Italian Pnbuc Italy, thnud"h in serious financial difficulties, decided to cut down some important expenditures of an economic character in order to be able to build up to the Prench naval strength. France is afraid that the coming Gepeva conference might have the same effect on all Euro- pean nations; that a failure of the conference would have as a result an increased armament race, while by ist- ting sleeping d lie disarmament would come by itself as a natural resuit of depleted treasuries. All the same, since the United States is 5o keenly interestea in the question of disarmament, the French premier will be prepared to discuss at length this matter with the President and the Secretary of State. He will be com- pelled, however, to remind them both that 95 per cent of the Prench people have adopted the slogan, “Safety first, disarmament after.” It does not matter how pacifically inclined Laval may be, hc must always remember the majority of his ‘cabinet and some 500 members of the French Chamber, to say nothing of the rank and file of the nation which is watching him through the lynx eyes of the representatives of the French press who are accompanying him, would rather part company with him than give up the idea of “security first.” The French government is only mod- erately interested in the question of war debts reduction. It reali: how- ever, that, in view of the fact that the collection of reparations from Germany has become problematic: this matter must be discussed and a_ basis for an understanding with the United States must be reached sooner or later. The French government ls reported to be willing to accept substantial slashes in the reparations provided the United States agrees to_make equal slashes in the war debts. Whether some basis for eement can be reached during it of the French premier is an n question. W;lllr?y of the most important mem- bers of the American Senate consider such an agreement futile unless it is preceded by definite promise on the part of the debtor nations that they will reduce the armament expenditure. Without such an undertaking it is mouet any move towards reduction of war debts. Consequently the French and the American leaders find themselves confronted with definite ideas. On our side: “Disarmament first; then we will see what can be done about security. Disarmament first, then we will see what can be done about debt reduction or cancellation.” On the part of- the French: ‘‘Security first, and we agree est and will co-operate whole-heartedly with you to put the world on its feet sfifln." The question of the gold which the two nations possess and which repre- sents about 70 per cent of the total amount avallable in the world, will be debated by the President, Laval, Mellon and the financiol experts who are ac- companying the French premier. It is stated in well informed quarters that some kind of a common policy will be the result of these conversations. How | effective this common policy will be is difficult to say at present. The root of all the present troubles are laid to political misunderstandings. A high officfal expressed his views on this matter &s follows: “If the house is cold although the thermostat shows 80 degrees it is no good trying to repair the thermostat. You have to go into the basement and repair the furnace.” =g i POSTAL SAVINGS UP September Total Is $45,000,000 Higher—Florida Declines.

By the Associated Prei NEW YORK, October 22.—The full transiated text of 'Premier Laval's speech at City HallModay follows: “Mayor Walker, you are at the head ‘of the largest city in the world. As T look at these mighty bulldings, as I note the busy traffic in your streets, as T grasp the magnificent spectacle ! whi¢th New York offers I am struck with, admiration for the force of your great Nation and the disciplined free- dom of its inhabitants. “The confidence which the City of New York has placed in you is a tribute of which you as an American may well be proud. I come from Europe, the representative of a nation with a long and noble past, to confer with the President of a great and free people. Facing New Duties. “It would suffice for me to evoke memories of our common past to re- celve a friendly welcome, but today I full well realize that the people greet me, the head of the French govern- ment, as a messenger of peace. From Paris to London, from London to Ber- lin, from Berlin to Washington, is a pllgrimage among the capitals which differs from the traditional method of diplomacy. “This must be accounted for by the fact that new duties are imposed on | those responsible for government as a | result of the crisis which unsettles the world and undermines the morale of nations. “France was deeply touched when President Hoover invited me to visit him. She realizes that this gesture was not alone the expression of an old and tried friendship between our great democracies, but that the American Government had turned to her because in the midst of widespread disturbance she remains sound. “If you' should travel through our countryside, if you should visit our farms, if you could better know the hard and :ltknt labor of our farmers, you wculd upderstand France. You would become convinced that she has preserved this- robust constitution through hard work and the ability to save. France Is Peace-Loving. “Whether it be our workmen or our artisans, they are guided by the same ancestral spirit. These are the qualities which make our anclent land a harmo- nious and well balanced whole.
