A—10 _* URGES DEBTS DELAY TILLU. 5. NEEDS AID Du Pont-Houston Plan Pro- poses Payment in Goods and Service. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 21.—The plan of two prominent American industrialists for solving the war debt problem with- out reductions or cancellations but by transfers of goods when needed ..as| made public today by Magnus W. Al { ander, president of the National Indus- trial Conference Board. It is the plan of Irenee du Pont. chairman of the Finance Committee of E. I du Pont de Nemours & Co.. and George H. Houston, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works. The industrialists “start with recog- nition of the fact that intergovern- mental debts were incurred in abnormal times and that in normal times repay- | ment cannot be made without dislocat- ing the commerce among nations,” Dr. Alexander said. Transfer Is Difficulty. “The problem of transferring the | sums from the debtor countries to the United States is the main, if not the only, difficulty. Since we do not wish at the present time to accept payment in commodities, and since outright can- cellation is not in the interest of the United States, they (du Pont and Hous- on) suggest that our Government should not give up its claims, but should not call upon its debtors to discharge their obligations to us until the payment can be made services the United States may be faced With a critical situation when it may urgently need the materlals and services of our foreign debtors. “At such time, payment on account of war debts could be made to us with- out creating the transfer problem. Our debtors would then be called upon to deliver to us such goods and services as we may require up to the amount that enabled them to buy in_the United States wih the help of our loans.” Talks at Board Meeting. The plan was presented by Dr. Alex- ander in & speech before the private annual meeting of the board last week, and was made public after industrialists attending the meeting suggested its re- lease. i While the United States is not one of the creditors of Germany, it has a deep interest in the coming meeting of the Lausanne Conference on June 16, be- cause the United States receives about $23,000,000,000 of the total payment of $27,000,000,000 to be made by Germany to her creditors. If the Lausanne Conference should fail, Germany almost certainly will de- fault on her reparations obligation, Dr. Alexander said. COTTON MEN ELECT . B.B.GOSSETT HEAD Manufacturers’ Association Ends Convention After Urging Bal- ancing of Budget. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington.s Theaters. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in “It’s Tough to Be Famous.” R. FAIRBANKS JUNIOR'S ingratiating smile, almost as popular now as his father's was back in the early 1920’s, is seen to ad- vantage in a sarcastic little comedy entitled “It's Tough to Be Famous,” currently being shown at Warner's Earle. Young Doug plays the role of the kind of national hero whom others get financial fat promoting— after the big stunt. As “Scotty"” the great om- mande: who saved his men from extinction when his sub- marine was trapped at sea, Fairbanks wins all the glory and all the hul- labaloo and all the hand shakes commonly associ- ated with heroes of this sort. The authors of this have seen fit, however, to “rib” the ultra- enthusiasm of this country. and to prove that being a king is less to be desired than a comfortable seat in a back parlor—or any other kind of a parlor. Fame, in other words, is something really to be sneezed at. since if you wear the crown of the victor for even a minute, your Douslas Fairbanks, r. self-respect, your peace, your quiet, even your wife—all—may fly out of the window, While scenes of the actual home- coming of certain national idols (the Lindbergh pictures have a certain pathos to them at this moment) are included, the actual Mr. “Scotty” is not the aviator or the explorer most familiar to the public. He is merely the man who saved all of his com- rades at sea—and for that reason his name is blazed across the coun- try, his wedding a national event, his words listened to with bated breath, and his job consists of doing nothing to the tune of $80,000 & year. Ironical, slightly bitter, but for the most part amusing, this is a better than average film—due to the work of Mr. Fairbanks and Walter Catlett. Mary Brian, too, as his sweetheart and wife, has never been photographed more becomingly. On the stage, that stuttering hero, Roscoe Ates, whose first syllables come in dozens, appears in person, assisted by a comely red-haired lady (the image of a well known local theater scribe) in an amusing skit entitled “Nothing.” Other players on the vaudeville bill include the really “sensational” Kikutas; Eddie Allen and Doris Canfleld in a Beatrice Lillie skit, and Atlas, La Marr and Betty tripping the light fartastic over some hurdles. These or: all introduced by that tireless thank-you lady, Maxine Dcyle, who should stand out in the rain this week and get that Piji Island curl out of her hair. E. de 8. MELCHER.

They | plan to spend a week or so more on | the glacier. | Spadevecckia, who had not been | heard from for 12 days, returned to | camp Thursday night and said he had | never been lost. He explained snow and stream conditions were such he couldn't return to the camp after he | had started originally for Fairbanks when Carpe and Theodore Koven, an- other member of the group. were killed when they slipped into a crevasse. Spadevecckia said he ran short of food, but caught three porcupines with | his ski stick. He saved a can of jam Jand chicken for the “crawling stage,” | he added. Muldrow Glacier is now unsafe for further airplane landings because of | warmer weather. Robbins had diffi- | culty in taking off.
