TA—2 w¥s BORAH URGES DEBT TALK WITH EUROPE Bold Inclusion of Reparations § as Well at Economic F° Parley Advocated. 5 the Associated Press. MINNEAPOLIS, August 4.—Senator ‘William E. Borah says he believes the Government's insistence on barring Teparations and war debts from the proposed international economic con- ference will be certain to retard world recovery from its business slump. “untly, the chairman of the Senate In Relations Committee declared cpening up every question Wwhose | ancestry goes back to the World War | 4n an address at the University of | Minnesota last night. He likened elimination of the two lquestions with presentation of a “Ham- | Jetless Hamlet,” and then outlined the | terms of a trade proposing cancellation of allied debts owing the United States in return for a permanent policy of disarmament by European nations. Against Piecemeal Work. Striking at limitation of conference #ubject matter, Senator Borah said that | the existing international problems can- Dot be solved “by piecemeal work.” | “I cannot agree that the United | States should be in part of the time and | out part of the time,” he said. “I prefer seeing the United States take a firm position and then go boldly forth to its task.” “The conference should study of the gold standard. What is it that has put 31 nations of the world | off the gold standard? It is reparations &nd debts. “I will be glad to take part and see the United States take part in any Zrence on these vital ques- trust the representatives of our country : protect its interests from start to finish,” the Senator said. ! Wants Unemployment Solution, “But now it is said that we must; have an economic conference, but not | discuss war debts and reparations. How | would you like to attend a playing of | *Hamlet’ with Hamyet left out? I can- ot see a solution % unemplcyment ex- cept through solusbn of the great problems arising ou! ef the war.” Senator Borah wiled attention to figures he said had %een given him a few hours befcre by Prank B. Kellogg, former Secretary of State, who sat on the stage. These showed, he said, that! Europe has more than 4,500,000 men in its standing armies. Replying to a ques- tion, he said that dismissing these men ‘wu]:}d turn them into productive chan- nels. Disarmament would result in reliev- ng havily taxed European citizens and zeturn them to buyers cf American goods, the Senator said in the address, the first part of which was broadcast. American foreign trade has declined to about, one-third of what it was in 1929 and its fall accounts for many millions of this Naticn's unemplcyed, he said. Answers Questions Freely. ‘When the part of his address which was broadcast was completed, he ypushed a microphone aside and said, #Now we can talk freely.” For nearly a half hour he replied to guestions from the audience. In reply 2o one he asserted that if elecied President, “the next day I would recog- nize Russia,” adding “and that's the way I would destroy Communism in Russia.” “There will not be any restoration of confidence in this country until Amer- jca is assured Europe will not become Anvolved in another war,” the Semator | redicted. “Disarmament must be rought about to restore confidence at home and abroad. At present 85 per cent of the taxes of Europe are ex- gorted for the purposes of war. * * * Plan of Farm Relief. | “And when you look at the two political platforms adopted by the parties in Chicago—I'm not discussing politics now, but jus' common sense— you will find not s single iota of as- surance to the farifer. Therefore we must find the remedy elsewhere, out- side those two parties, and so I am presenting this to the American peo- ple. “The farmer has been told he is| overproducing. It is not overproduc- | tion, ladies and gentlemen, but lower consumption. We have in this world today 70,000,000 people who are hun- gry, who want food, <nd so long as these 70,000,000 are hungry it is not ® case of over-production but under- ‘consumption. “There is no reason on earth why pve should not be able to end this de- pression. unwise policies have caused the depression, then wise poli- cies will bring an end to the depres- sion.

At no time during his address did Senator Borah furnish any clue as to “the candidate he will support for Presi- dent. He answered a questioner who Jed up to this point directly by saying that “this is a non-political speech | where I want to talk freely and we | will leave the presidency out of it.” ADVENTISTS FAVOR | VOTES FOR DRY LAWS Resclution Opposes Change Eighteenth Amendment—Issue Held Greater Than Politics. include a | in ' Urging “every American zen to| avork and vote for the suppression of in- | jtoxicating liquor as a beverage.” the| Temperance Commission of the Gen-| eral Conference of Seventh Day Ad- ventists yesterday adopted a resolu- tion opposing change in the prohibi- tion laws.

[Stolen High School | Certificates Were Sold, Officer Says Student Received $500 in Confession. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. August 4—Jules Rcss, 22, former student at Stanford Univer- sity, was quoted by the district atto ney’s office yesterday as having made a complete confession to charges that he had stolen and sold high school certifi- cates to prospective college stucents. Assistant District Attorney Harcld W.| Hastings said Ross told him: *“I am effiicted with consumption. I haven't long to live. T'il make a complete state- ment and take my medicine.” While an undergraduate at New York City College, him he left the wincow of the record | rocm open, climbed in after hours and | stole the certificates, which he ldter sold for $500 each to high school sth- | dents who were afraid they could not, pass a college examination. | Ross was indicted four years ago, but was not apprehended until recently at | Palo Alto, Calif., where he was studying | in the research department of the uni- versity under the name of Robert E. Curley. 1.5, POLIGY STANDS DESPITE DEBT PLEA Will Enter World Economic| Parley With Issue Barred From Agenda. By the Assoclated Press Despite Senator Borah's contentions that a world economic conference which ignores debts and reparations will be a failure, the American Gov- ernment stuck to another view and went ahead today planning participa- tion in the meeting it has agreed to Join. The State Department remained quiet about the last Borah specch, ap- parently assuming its decision to meet without discussing specific tariffs, rep- arations and debts was sufficient an- swer. John F. Costello, Democratic Na- tional committeceman for the District of Columbia, today called the Borakh speech “remarkable” and said, 1 = haven't any doubt in my mind that everybody in the United States will agree with him, regardless of party.” New Road to Arms Cut. There was a frequently expressed hope eusewhere that the disarmament the Idaho Senator and Present Hoo- ver both want can be obtained in an- other way. Recent arms conferences, it is said, have not shown great progress. But should the leading pow- ers get together at an economic meet- ing, better feeling would result. That would bring European disarmament agreements, it is hoped, and find the United States reedy to discuss war debts. The administration hope that the eco- | nomic conference will prove to be one of the steps leading to a reduction of armaments is cne of the points being considered at the State Dzpartment and White House. Thought is also being given there to the gualifications of a group of men from which will be chos=n the thrée American membors of the separate ccmmittees that will plan the conferente and survey the ecanomic and financtal phases cf the problem. The announcement of the personnel | of the group will be withheld until the time and place have been fixed for the! preliminary meetings. Silver Expert Wanted. Already there is agitation for the ap- pointment of a silver expert. Se¢hator Smcct of Utah called at the White| House yesterday and after talking with the President said he had urged that Mont Ferry cf Salt Lake City be named as one of the experts. “I believe something will come out of this_international conference that will stabilize silver,” Smoot said, “and I be- | lieve nothing could be more importent | to the financial situaticn than such a| stabilization.” While silver undoubtedly will figure largely in ‘the discussions, they will be broad enough to cover virtually the whole economic field. Specific tariffs | will be barred along with international debts. Issues to Be Divided. ‘The conference itself will be divided into two separate phases—a study of | international finance and of tte eco- nomic questions that are row to the fore in every country of the world: The first will include monetary and credit policies, exchange difficulties, price levels and the movement of capi- tal. The second will give particular attention to tariff policies, trade pro- hibitions, restrictions, quotas and other barriers. This count1y's representatives, it is believed, will tackle the problem in the belief that the trade restrictions, quocas | and discriminations that exist in vari- ous parts of the world are a constant irritent that breeds fear and distrust among the peoples of the different na- tions Persons familiar with the administra- tion's outlook say that if these restric- | tive barriers can be broken down a long step can be taken toward ereating a| general good will among nations. Better Chance to Disarm. Once this has been accomplished, they believe that the disarmament problem cen be reopened with a good prospect for success. It is felt that a free flow of commerce and the existence of a feel- | ing of trust and confidence among the | different peoples of the world weuld dissipate the fear of wars and put them in a frame cf mind to approach con- | fidently the disarmament question. Estimates have been made that if the world armaments were recuced by one- third, as proposed by President Hoover, | a minimum saving of $2,000,000,000 would come to the taxpayers cf this| country in 10 years. For the whole| world the minimum saving was esti- mated at $10,000,000,000 So. many students of diplomacy at Washingten believe, economics ‘may prove the back door to disarmament.

The District grand jury investigation of the bonus riots was nearing comple- tion today as two of the Commissioners and several police officizls were called before the inquisitorial body to present | their versions of the disorders preced- ing the evacuation of the bonus march- ers from lower Pennsylvania avenue. Commis-ioner Luther C. Reichelderfer was the first witness, being followed by | Commissicner Herbert B. Crosby. They | were secluded in the office of United | States Attorney Leo A. Rover before! going to the grand jury room and re- turned there immediately after tes- tifying. | Although the nature of their testi- | mony was not known, it was said they { could not testify as to any facts con- cerning the first brick-throwing or the subsequent disorder in which two mem- bers of the bonus army were fatally) shot and a number of policemen in- jured. The Commissioners went to the scene during the interval between the | two disorders, but did not actually wit- | ness either disturbance. 2 Police to Testify. It was understsod, however, the in- | quiry today would be directed toward alleged violations of Federal laws. Among these, mention has already been made ot the alleged forcible occupancy | of Government property by the B. E. F. | and the forceful resistance of Federa officers. 1t is not believed the grand jury will retun a report commenting upon the | advisability of the use of troops to quell the riots, District Supreme Court tice James M. Proctor having previously ruled that the jury has no suthority | to take such action. Other witnesses waiting to testify to- day_included Daniel Garges, secretary to the Commissioners; Police’ Inspectors Brown, Edwards, Bean and Davis; Po- lice Lieut. Ira Keck, alde to Crosl Lieut. Harvey Callahan, in charge of | chief clerk of the Police Department Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, chief | of police, was not present while his su- nesiors, the Commissioners, and the po- lice officials were giving their testimony. | Gen. Glassford testified Monday, when, | according to Mr. Rover, the grand jury investigated only assaults made on po- licemen by veterans. It could not be learned whether he would be called to| supplement the testimony of the Com- missioners and other police officials concerning the alleged violations of | Federal statutes. After the grand jury had adjourned for the day. Rover announced the in- vestigation probably would be resumed early next week. He said he expected o call several additional witnesses, but could not reveal their identity now. Although Rover and Assistant Attor- ney General Nugent Dodds were with the grand jury for some time after the | last witness had been excused, it was said no steps leading to the return of any indictments were taken. The inquiry was started at the re- | quest of Attorney General Mitchell, Three bonus marchers are now being held for the action of the grand jury | on assault charges. Waters in Conference. Meanwhile Walter W. Waters, appar- ently still the national leader of the bonus marchers, was in conference today with members of “a national organization, which is highly thought of,” according to his aides at B. E. F. headquarters, 1841 North Capitol street. The name of the “national organiza- tion” would not be revealed by bonus army headquarters. The subject of the conference was said to be the establishment of the 48 State camps to house veterans and their families.

His associates say Mr. Chapin, will take to President Hoover's cabinet a spirit of optimism which looks upon what others call economic depressions as “breathing spells” furnishing oppor- | tunity to “‘stop and think over why we | are here and where we are going.’ The 52-year-old automobile manu- facturer has been connected with the| indusiry for 31 years, starting as = photographer for a sales promotion de- partment at $35 a_month.

When the in-coming cabinet officer takes over the helm of the huge govern- ment agency that advises business men, he will find aides whe have much the same optimistic opinicns as to business recovery and who are ready to go with any sales campaign he proposes.

Secretary of War Hurley, in a state- ment yesterday, said that after Con- | gress adjourned and prior to the evacua- | | tion of the local camps, one-third of the | total number were not veterans. | In making known his calculations, | Gen. Hines said that his office had | been in a pesition t) make a falrly | good check. He said also that he did | not discuss this subject during his | call upon the President today. His | estimate was given in response to questions by newspapermN1 at the Whit> House. Gei. Hines stated that <5.200 of the bonus marchers were furnished trans- portation and subsistence allowances by the Veterans' Bureau. to journey from Washington to their respective homes, and that 500 women and chil- dren of the bonus marchers had their expenses paid by the Red Cross. He aid the total advancedsby the Veterans' | Bureau for transporting these bonus marchers to their homes was $76,000. This totdl cost, however, included 2l lowances made to those veterans who returned to their homes in automobiles. It was said by the Veterans' Admin- istrator that his office has knowledge that 3.600 of the total number of vet- erans encamped in Washington were registered. He explained that his esti- ate of 500 not being veterans of the World War was based upon the inability of some of these to furnish discharge papers and of their being too young to have served in the war.

THREATENS DECREE | 10 END REICH RIOTS Cabinet Meets After Press Intimation of Von Papen- Hitler Break. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, August 4—The cabinet met today to consider the political violence that has continued in various parts of the Reich despite the political truce de- “ " creed by President von Hindenburg The meeting came a few hours after the Rightist press had intimated a serious break between Chancellor Franz von Papen's government and Adolf | Hitler was in prospect because of the | recent bloody riots. | Tt was not known what was discussed, | | but the Ultra Rightist organ Boersen- | | of good understanding which America Zeitung said the government was con- | sidering a smashing emergency decree to end the rioting, in most of which | Hitler's nazis and storm troops had a part. | The entire cabinet with the exception of the chancellor and the powerful de- | fense minister, Gen. Kurt von Schleicher, | who were on vacation, perticipated in the discussion, Riots Cost 100 Lives. ‘Meanwhile disturbances, which have | cost well over a 100 lives in the last | few weeks, continued. At Munich the riot squad was called cut three times during the night to subdue political clashes. There were shcoting afirays al Rastenburg, Allenstein and Drengfurth in East Prussia. An incendiary bomb was thrown into the government office at Mehlauken, near Labiau, and at Ortelsburg a de- | partment store was set afire by a bomb. Six cases filled with 30,000 sticks of dynamite, arms and_fuses were discov- ered in an empty well at Wilhelmshorst, near Putsiam. A Nazi arms dump was uncovered at Gleiwitz, and a simiiar | dump traced to Communists was found | near Halle. The press intimation of a Hitler-Von Papen break was coupled witl evidence that Hitler was spreading his organi- zation efforts into other European countries and planning a powerful Nor- | dic_Furopean alliance. That the decree would meet a pro- test from Hitler's forces was indicated by William Kube. head of the powerful Nazi delegation in the Prussian diet. Herr Kube severely criticized Chancellor | von Papen, Minister of Interior Baron | von Gayl and Franz Bracht, Prussian dictator, for what he said was an at- | tempt “to sabotage the Nazi election vietory.” | Nazfs Organize Abroad. | As a result of Hitler's international negotiations, Nazi parties, fashioned after his, have been founded alteady in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Holland. | Reports of his emissaries indicate the Nazis are laying the foundations of a | future forelgn policy intended to result | in a bloc of racially related nations to| ursue a common policy against the | lav and Latin nations. | A Dutch National Soclalist Workers' party has been founded in Holland.

KANSAS CITY, August 4—Repre- sentatives of the medical profession at- tacked Government hospitalization for war veterans suffering non-service dis- abilities befcre the Shannon House Committee today. “It is difficult for physiciens to reconcile a war-time resolve to support every form of assistance to soldiers who | were sick or injured with the present demand for free professional care of disease or injury that never originated nor depends upon any war service,” Dr, E. H. Skinner of Kansas City testified. “Why should they receive medical| and surgical care for nothing?” he| asked. “They pay all other expenses | of life. Why penalize the medical pro- fession with this free care? “Why not provide frea groceries, free homes, free automobiles?

Little Change Expected. Others hold the President will dis- cuss the issue at length, defining in detail his own views on the prohibition prob’em. w confire his edgment of ne outstanding prohibition Dr. Edwin C. Dinwiddie, of the prohibition board of strategy—came the remark: “‘Some of us don'i think it will change the picture much.” Dinwiddie did not elaborate this statement, made during 2n interview, but already has said he personally will support the President, ‘We resent a President active in a move to amend the Constitution it is his_duty_to enforce,” Dinwiddie said. “The President does not come intc the picture at all. A proposed amend- g(né does not even pass through his ands. _“Of course, the Republican platform. does not commit the party to repeal as the Democratic platform does. I be- lieve that will give the Democrats trou- ble in some quarters.” Views of President’s Stand. Only recently,, Laber's Committee for Modification of the Volstead Act stressed in a formal statement the President’s completz constitutional detachment in the process of amending that instru- ment. Another anti-prohibition group, the Federal Dispensary Tax Reduction Leegue, Inc., took a stand similar to Dinwiddi='s when it said: “He (the President) is élected only to uphold the Constitution and while holding cflice has no legal or moral right to criticize it or suggest a change.” These eonti-prohibition groups, in=- cluding . the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, are laying particular stress on individual congres- sioral candidates. Labor’s committee especially emphasizes that both Re publican and Demoeratic votes will be needed in Congress, and in the States, to secure repeal or amendment cf the eighteenth amendment. The board of strategy, howaver, is concentrating on the presidential race. So far its publiz expressions have de- fined party platforms and attitudes of the candidates. But Dinwiddie said that if developments warrant, "we may take a further position.” OPTIMISM IN STEEL SEEN IN REOPENING OF TWO OHIO PLANTS (Continued From First Page.) | Cliffs blast furnace at Warren, Ohio, next week, and activity about the long- closed plant of New Steel Co. at New= ten Falls.

BALTIMORE, August 4 (Special).— For the first time this year the Mer- chant & Miners’ S. S. Berkshire sailed from this port for Jacksonville and Miami with a full passenger list and every stateroom taken. The vessel, under the command of Capt. Samuel Herbert, had 201 pas- sengers on board, The capacity load included vacationists from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and other Pennsylvania cities and others from Virginia and West Virginia. But the majority of “vote-seeking politicians.” Quoting from figures compiled by the National Economy League, Dr. Skinner testified that 75 per cent of veterans under hospital care by the Government | in 1931 suffered disabilities which did not arise from Army service. Hall the | hospitalization appropriations of one ; billion dollars was spent in the care of | this class of patients, he said. “The total amount spent by the Government for veteran affairs has | reached six billion dollars,” Dr. Skinner told the committee investigating Gov- ernment competition ‘with private busi- ness. He quoted Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, administrator of veteran affairs, as saying: Huge Cost Is Seen. “If that is continued -under present legislation at the present rate, it will reach 21,500 million dollars, or a cost equal to the war, in 1945.” A tremendous building scheme of vet- | erans’ hospitals is grossly u; the | “The per diem cost of the necessary Thospitalization of veterans would save the Government greatly and at the same time fill the empty bed space of already depleted civilian hospitals. If only servicz-connected cases were treated, there would probably be no need for any increased hispitalization program. These actual and proposed costs are terrific. We feel there is neither justice nor equality in their promotion and completion.” Dr. Skinner's testimony was support- ed by Dr. Jabez N.
