HOOVER URGES ONE-THIRD ARMAMENT CUT HIGHEST HOPE OF WORLD, PRESIDENT TELLS GENEVA 9 IMPOSSIBLE, SAYS FRANCE Held Best Step to Economic Recovery. “FOLLY TO GO ON BREAKING BACK”| Asks Positive Pcace to Remove Crush- ing Burden. President Hoover, in a sudden | and dramatic announcement at the White House teday, proposed’ principles for reducing the arms of the entire world by nearly one- third as a means of lifting the burden from the “toilers of the world.” With Secretary of State Stim- son at his side, the President read to a small group of newspaper men, hurriedly assembled at the Executive Mansion, a statement saying “the time has come when we should cut through the brush” and adopt arms reductions calcu- lated to save between $10,000,000,- 009 and $15.000,000,000 during the next 10 years In making this proposal, which is contained in instructions sent to the American delegation at the Geneva Disarmament Conference ; for presentation there this morn- | ing, Mr. Hoover declared such a/ reduction also would add to the assurance of peace. His proposal | for reduction applied to every| branch of warfare—land forces,! naval forces and air forces. | Recomimendations Made. | Among the recommendations were: | Abolition of all tanks, chemical war- | fare and large mobile guns. | Reduction of one-third in the strength of all land armies over and | above “the so-called police component.” | The aboiition of all bombing planes and the “total prohibition of all bom- bardment from the air.” Reduction in the treaty number and tonnage of all battleships by one-third. Reduction in the treaty tonnage of | aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers | by one-fourth and of submarines by one-third, with no nation having more | than 35,000 tons of submersibles. | The President announced his pro-| posal at the White House about an hour in advance of the time for its presenta- tion to the Geneva Conference. Coincidental with the President's statement, it was learned in high ad- ministration circles that his program ! has met with the fpproval of the Secretaries of State, War and Navy, the Chief of staff of the Army, the chief of naval operations and the American delegates at the Geneva Conference. ‘War Debts Not Considered. Tt was enunciated with great emphasis in the Capital today that although President_ Hoover's proposals for arma- ment reduction have been discussed at Geneva for some time, they have not been mentioned in connection with war- debt reductions. It was stated on the highest au- thority that no such suggestions have been made by the United States in order to secure arms slashes. Mr. Hoo- ver is known to feel personally that such a proposal—war-debt reduction contingent upon armament reduction— would be offensive to the dignity of Eu- ropean nations. In his discussion of his program, President Hoover said such a step would ~(Continued on Page 2, Column 7.)

CONGRESSLEADERS FAVOR ARHS LA 'Borah, Reed and Vinson Ap- prove Reduction Proposal Made by Hoover. By the Associated Press. President Hoover's proposal to the Geneva Disarmament Conference for a one-third cut in world armament drew the immediate approval today of chairman Borah of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who only two days ago announced he would not sup- port the President for re-election on the party platform. The plan also was approved by Chair- man Reed of the Senate Military Affairs Committee, and Chairman Vinson of the House Naval Affairs Committee. Chairman Byrns of the House Appro- priations Committee expressed favor of armament reduction, but said the President's appeal would have been more timely before Congress had passed heavy appropriations for next year's Army and Navy expenditures. Borah said the plan seemed and sound” and expressed the hope it would bring a realization to the confer- ence that failure to disarm would “bring an irreparable disaster.” Borah’s Statement. The foreign relations chairman, in a formal statement said: “fair “Looking over the President’s proposal | somewhat hurriedly, it soems to me fair i am for drastic reduction of armaments and so lorg as all nations are treated fairly I do not care much how it is brought about “I sincerely hope the proposal of the President will bring the conference to a realization that a failure to lift this burden of armaments and do it at once will come near to being an irreparable disaster.

Ashurst, in moving to strike it out, agreed that as Senator Gore, Democrat, of Oklahoma, author of the section, was absent from the chamber, it cculd be reccnsidered if Gore should so desire. Garner Defend: Bill. Meanwhile, Speaker Garner told newspaper men he considers his $2,300.- 000,000 relief bill amply broad to meet conditions in Chicago, as described here yesterday by Mayor Anton Cermak. “My bill isn't designed to help just Chicago,” Garner said. “But it will help all the people. “It increases the capitalization of the Reconstruction Pinance Corporation by $1,000,000,000 and broadens the base of loans from the Atlantic to the Pacific. All that is required is adequate security. The rest of the details are left in the hands of the Reconstruction Board.” Cermak had told the House Banking Committee that Chicago could offer any type of security required, “security I consider as good as gold.” Garner said he understood the $300.- 000,600 Wagner bill already passed by the Senate and now before th~ Banking Committee would be added to the $2,- 000,000.000 measure before the Senate as a substitute for his own measure. “That will put the whole matter in- conference,” he explained. 'UPRISINGS FEARED IN MISSIONARY DEATH British Asked to Leave Manchu- rian Section, Where Japanese Killed German. By the Associated Press. PEIPING, China, June 22.—British nationals were advised today to evacu- ate the territory around Chientao. on the Korean border in Kirin Province, Manchuria, following the alleged slay- ing of a German Catholic missionary, Suher Conrad Rapp, by Japanese sol- ers. The British nationals were advised to leave because of fear of anti-foreign uprisings. It was believed here no Americans were in the region. Missionary reports received here said Father Rapp was hurrying on horse- back to the deathbed of a colleague stricken with typhus when he was halt- ed at night by a Japanese military picket. When he produced his identity card, the report said, the Japanese pulled him from the saddle, declaring he insulted the imperial Japanese armv by failing to dismount.
