ROOSEVLTSEES PEACE WTH SHITH Hopes to Close Breach, He Says, After Address in Minnesota. By the Associated Press. ST. PAUL, April 19—Hope for re- establishment of peaceful relationship with Alfred E. Smith was expressed to- day by Gov. Pranklin D. Roosevelt of New York as he started homeward after his first address in the Middle West since he became a formal candidate for the Democratic nomination for Presi- dent. His address last night, a reply by in- ference to Smith’s recent attack at the Jefferson day dinner in Washington, will be the final chapter in the recent cross- fire between the two men who for many years were close political friends, the Governor hoped. ‘Would Close Breach. “That is about right, it is what I hope,” the Governor said after news- paper comment had been read to him referring to his ad s as “an answer to Smith which should bring to a close the Smith-Re velt breach and substi- tute peace for misunderstanding.” A large part of Roosevelt’s address was devoted -to a restatement of his discussion of water power and the tariff two weeks ago, which drew Smith's fire. The latter declared his willing- ness to “take off my coat and fight” any candidate “arraying class against class,” after referring indirectly to part of Roosevelt's original address But last night. as the guest of Minne- sota Democrats, whose 24 vote delega- tion to the Democratic Convention in June has been instructed to support Roosevelt, the Governor said his pro- gram called for “a concert of classes” and after enlarging on his theme, he said: “If that be treason, make the most of it.” To Stop in Chicago. A 3-hour stop in Chicago late today will be the only break in the return trip of the Governor's party, which wiil arrive at Rochester, N. Y., shortly be- fore noon Wednesday. A series of conferences held by the Governor with Democrats of Minne~ sota, Montana, North and South Da- kota, Towa and Wisconsin left the Gov- ernor with the impression that “the state of Democracy in the Northwest is very good and very healthy.” “What I was told about conditions by men and women from this section leads me to belicve that the Democratic candidate in November will be strongly supported,” the Governor said. “I have been out here on campaigns in the past but there is fully 50 per cent improve- ment in Democratic strength.” Gov. Floy B. Olson of Minnesota, Farmer-Laborite, was a guest of honor at the dinner last night at which Gov. Roosevelt made his address. Italian Minister Quit in Row Over Army's Size. PALERMO, Italy, April 19 (#)— Maj. Gen. Antonino di Giorgio, who! ‘was Italian minister of war in 1925, died here yesterday. He was 64 years old. He had retired from the army. Gen. Di Giorgio resigned as minister of war in April, 1925, afte: an army reorganization bill, providing for an army of variable size. which he spon- sored, met with strong condemnation | by Italy'’s military leaders. The bill was considered a step toward a reduc- tion of the standing army. A revised bill later was passed, call- | ing for a standing army of 220,000 men instead of the 140,000 proposed by Gen. Di Giorglo. COULD HAVE SAVED LIFE BUFFALO, N.

By the Assoclated Press. SANTIAGO Chile, April 19.—Chile went off the gold standard officially to- day, after nine months of unsuccessful effort to maintain the peso at par through rigid control of purchases of foreign exchange in the legitimate mar- Kket. Under the provisions of the govern- ment bill which was approved by Con- gress late last night, the value of the peso will be subject to a virtually open market, with a few restrictions to pre- vent a wholesale collapse of the cur- rency. Actually Already Off. Actually, Chile has been off the gold standard since last July, following the overthrow of the government of Carlos Ibanez, when the new government im- posed exchange control to prevent a flight of gold from the country. Offi- cially, however, the peso has been at par, with declining transactions at this rate. Most of the money has been han- dled in & “bootleg” market, which has determined the real value of the cur- rency. The official rate for the peso has been about 12 cents American, gold. It was believed here today that the rate would | now drop from about 8 pesos to the | dollar to 20 or more at the start, with a possibility that it will go still lower. The working of the new bill will be de- layed briefly, pending approval of rules interpreting its provisions. The financial situation had become 50 acute that Finance Minister Luis Izquierdo declared the peso must be devalorized or soclalism, or possibly Communism, would result through the inequalities between the official and | actual values of money. | Commission Formed. The new bill creates an advisory ex- change commission to handle transac- tions through the central bank and to set a daily value for the peso on the basis of supply and demand. All trans- actions are required to go through the | commission and any outside dealings are made punishable by a jail sentence or a fine, or both. All gold contracts made in the future must be payable in pesos, but some past gold contracts, such as those held by | foreign utility companies, will be re-| spected. Customs duties are payable on a gold basis and insurance held in foreign companies is payable in pesos. GOVERNOR TO DEMAND 20 PER CENT BUDGET CUT Promises Mass Meeting He Will Call Special Session if Slash Is Not Made by May 1. By the Associated Press. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 19—Gov. Harvey Parnell has promised to call a special legislative session if his program for @ 20 per cent reduction in State ex- penses is not in effect: by May 1, but the mass meeting that elicited the pledge will be reassembled on that date.

RABBI WISE SAYS WAR CAN BRING NO PEACE Apologizes for Throwing His Moral Support Behind Allies in 1917, By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, April 19.—Rabbi Stephen 8. Wise, militant civic reform leader and champion of liberal Judaism in America, sald Sunday the world conflict had taught him there never can be a “war to end war.” ‘War breeds war and not peace,” he said in a sermon commemorating his twenty-fifth anniversary as rabbi of the Free Synagogue, which he founded. “The war to end war can never be.” Asserting he had undergone & com- plete change of mind on the subject, Rabbi Wise apologized for having thrown his moral support behind the allies in 1917 and declared that now he would “as little support a war to crush Hitlerism as a war for the strengthening .of Jewish claims in Palestine, Dr. John Haynes Holmes, who has aligned himself with Rabbi Wise in an active campaign against Tammy Hall, hailed the Rabbi as the “unique moral and spiritual leader of the age.” Before coming to New York, Mr. Wise served as rabbi of Temple Beth Israel at Portland, Oreg.

TRAFFIC STUDIED AT FLORIDA AVENE 120th and 21st Streets May Become One-Way to Halt S Street Congestion. A proposal to make Twentieth and Twenty-first streets one-way traffic thoroughfares from Constitution avenue to Florida avenue, a distance of nearly 2 miles, was considered today by Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer and other traffic authorities. The plan has a two-fold purpose. Pri- marily it is designed to relieve conges- tion at Connecticut and Florida avenues and S street, an intersection regarded by traffic officials as one of the most complicated in the District, due to the converging of traffic from five different points, The plan, in the opinion of traffic experts, also will facilitate the flow of north and south bound traffic | south of Florida avenue on two streets hat, despite their narrowness, are now carrying a large volume of vehicles. Would Eliminate Them. Under the plan, Twentieth street would be made one way for southbound traffic, and Twenty-first street one way for northbound traffic. According to traffic officials this would prevent south- bound vehicles on Connecticut avenue from turning into Twenty-first street at Florida avenue, a condition which is said to create intense congestion dur- ing the morning rush hour, often mak- ing it impossible for pedestrians to cross. If the one-way proposal is put into effect, southbound traffic, it was point- ed out, would be compelled to continue south on Connecticut avenue to the in- tersection of Twentieth street, thus eliminating the present right turn at Connecticut and Florida avenues. Bilue Prints Made. Mr. Van Duzer and his assistants in- tend to make a series of studies to de- termine the effect on traffic at various intersections south of Florida avenue should the one-way plan be adopted. Blue prints already have been made in- dicating problems at congested intersec- tions along the nearly two-mile stretch. Traffic counts also have been made ;hu\\'mg the peak and average traffic low. At Connecticut and Florida avenues and S street the count shows the peak flow to be 2,916 vehicles an hour, and the average hourly flow of 873 vehicles. The peak flow at the intersection of Florida ave, Twenty-first and S streets is 1,737 vehicles an hour, and the aver- age flow 1,147 vehicles an hour.

C., TUESDAY, A PRIL 19, 1932 ASSAILED BY CHANG Manchuria Must Remain an Integral Part of China, Says Young Marshal. BY JAMES P. HOWE. By the Associated Press. PEIPING, April 19.—Japan, for years, has sought to bring Manchuria under some such control as she now exercises there through the new fed- erated government of Henry Pu-Yi, Marshal Chang Hsiao-Liang told me today. The Japanese plans go back as far as the rule of his father, Chang Tso- Lin, he said, and the “open hostility” dates back more than three years to the time when he himself had the Na- tionalist flag of the Koumintang hoist- ed over Mukden and other principal cities, The raising of the Chinese National- ist flag, signifying his decision to unite the Manchurian government with that of the National government at Nan- king, took place, he said, in the face of specific warnings from Japanese army officers. Talks to League Group. It was the first interview the young marshal has given since the League of Nations Inquiry Commission arrived in China. Since the commission has been here Marshal Chang has been the chief witness at its sessions, detailing the incidents which led to the seizure of Mukden last September and the subsequent Japanese campaign. “The Japanese have long cherished a desire to set up in Manchuria a state similar to the one they are now trying to establish,” he said. “Had I agreed to be their figurehead I could easily have been in Manchuria still. “Not only_that, but had my father, Chang Tso-Lin, cared less for Man- churia and more for his life he could have been alive today, for the Japanese had endeavored by numerous means to bring father within their grasp so he would abide by their decisions in mat- ters vital to their interests. “His tragic death by a mine explosion while he was traveling in a train on the cutskirts of Mukden in June, 1928, is & matter of history. If he had played the Japanese game I venture to say there would have been no work here now for the League of Nations, although Man- churia itself, by this time, in all prob- ability would have been almost a part of the Japanese empire without the world at large having realized what actually had taken place.” Warned by Japanese. Marshal Chang was recovering from typhoid fever at the Rockefeller Hos- pital here when the Japanese occupied his capital at Mukden. “The Japanese were bitterly opposed to the introduction of nationalism in Manchuria,” he said, “and I was re- peatedly cautioned not to allow it to spread to the three Eastern provinces When the Kuomintang flag went up in Mukden by my direction the ire of the Japanese went up with it and my trqu- bles with them became gradually un- bearable. Then came the Mukden in- cident of September 18. “During the last week I have given the League Commission much inside in- formation on our side of the case, which has thus gone into a public record for the first time.

The commission was told today that 6,000,000 Chihese flood sufferers in the Hwei River Valley are existing chiefly on grass and bark of trees and that some of them are being sold in a human market. Relief_workers reported, according to Shaow Peter Chuan, superintendent of the Flood Relief Commission in the area, that the sale price of humans is one dollar in Chinese money, or about 20 cents, for each year of the person’s age. A 10-year-old child sells for about $2, and the rate rises up to age 25, when it begins to recede. The chief supply of food, the commis- sion was told, has been relief wheat from the United States, but only 4,000 tons have reached the valley thus far owing to the Sino-Japanese trouble. Two months remain before the local wheat crop will have matured, witnesses said, and the problem is to feed the millions until then, TROOPS LEAVE SHANGHAL 900 Japanese Officers and Men Return Home, SHANGHAL, April 19 (#).—The Japa- nese forces here were further reduced today when 900 officers and men of the 14th Division left for Japan.

In the mean- time the two forces remain facing each other on the front line 10 miles west of Shanghal.
