HOOVER' RELIEF. PROCRAMPUSHED Nation’s Welfa-re Worke Return to Homes to Carry + Qut-Plans. - Charged by President Hoover with the task of awakening thefentire coun- try to the needs.of humanity during ter,. So that’ no man, welfare work were retumnu to their homes today following the- conference here yesterday of the Welfare and Re- lief Mobilization of 19332. The conference determined to devote the weeks of October 17 to November 23 to the campalgn of stimulating local communities for the attack on relief problems. It will continue.its work throughout the Fall and Winter in co- ordination of the efforts of the Pederal which make up the mobilization to banish privation and want from the American home during the months when nature places additional burdens upon the needy. Every Section to Become Active. During the four sessions of the con- ference yesterday, one at the White House and three at the Mayflower, the Welfare leaders unanimously devot~d themselves to the task of seeing that every political subdivision of the coun- try makes its own contribution to its relief and welfare needs before calling upon_the Government for a share in the $300,000,000 relief fund voted by Congress and being administered by the Reconstruction Finance ration. Striking the keynote of the confer- ence, Newton D. Baker, chairman, told the delegates, organized under the di- rection of the National Citizens' Com- mittee, of which the former Secretary of War also is chairman, that to public relief aids “must be added a devotion of every private resource.” The same note was struck by Atlee Pomerene, chairman of the Reeoutruc- tion Finance Corporation, who said the Fecderal relief fund should be resorted to only when there is inadequacy in the voluntary local relief contributions. He said the responsibility for furnishing relief rests primarily with the States, the political subdivisions of the States and the municipalities. Dinner Closes Conference. The conference closed with a dinner last night at which Mr. Baker presided. The speakers included Harvey D. Gib- son, chairman of the Emergency Un- employment Relief Committee of New York City; Fred Hoke, director of the Community Chest of Indianapolis, and Joseph Scott, president of the Com- munity Chest of Los Angeles. Mr. Gibson saw a “class of unem- ployed with which relief organizations should be most concerned—that group on the fringe of the army of the unem- ployed which has exhausted its re- sources, spent all its savings, has leaned upon relatives and friends until these can play the part of Good Samaritan no longer, and who individually are now destitute and have no place to turn to save themselves from eviction and starvation.” He urged the welfare agencles to turn to these persons and salvage them from the wreckage of the depression. Mr. Hoke outlined to the delegates some of the details of Chest fund cam- paigning which, in his opinion, would prove valuable in breaking down the Tesistance of subscribers this yea: Closing the conference, Mr. clared: “It is heartening, indeed, to those of us who have official relation with this movement to realize that this muunz will have widespread tion an stimulate all persons who minded to grasp the opportunity to help by gratuitous service and volun- tary mbscflpflonn the tremendous wel- fass and relief program which conrronu the Nation.” Campaign Strategy Discussed. In yesterday afternoon’s session there was a general discussion of “Strategy of Local Campaigns and National Re- inforcement for the Fall in View of Special Problems in Money Raising,” with C. M. Bookman, executive secre- tary of the Community Chest of Cin-|¢ cinnati, and Louis E. Kirstein, presi- dent of the Associated Jewish Philan- thropies of Boston, leading the discus- sion. P. R. Kellogg, first vice president of the Association of Community Chests and Councils. was chnnmn at this ;ees!uon.mnnd hruufi:gz general topic ore the gather At the same time the National Citi- gers' Committee -of the Welfare and Relief Mobilization of 1932, composed of 60 industrial and welfare leaders from every section of the country, was hearing in executive session the report of its chairman, Mr. Baker, and out- lining its plans for présentation later to the general mobilization, In yesterday afternoon's. discussion Mr_Bookman declared: “There has not been sufficlent money available from all sources to provide adequate relief to the unemplnyed Largely because of this fact, the giver questions the present use made of funds intrusted to the community Cchests. ‘While. he may not openly. ¢l e ex- travagance of operation, he does think that great economies can be practiced by social agencles. He must be con- ‘vinced of wise, economical and l‘nflhu operation under present conditions if he is to give as he should. “Social work is largely personal serv- ice, and requires a considerable per- centage of endmxm for salaries, Nevertheless, to be made in budgets of agencies and operation of the chests, the total ;:xoum paid in salaries and wages must Must Use Public Funds. “Unless we are willing to see neces- sary social work crippled beyond recov- ery. every effort must be made to place taxation the lions share of the ment public funds At the same time private giv- must and should carTy part of the —some of the direct relief, and espe-ially much of the extra required for health, children’s work and delin- uency prevention which unemployment as caused." .

An increase of $2,158,000 in the value | of merchandise exported from the United States during the month as compared with July, was reported by | the department. Imports also showed &h inceease of $11,680,000, which de- partment officials attributed to larger rchases of raw material by manu- facturing concerns for production pur- poses. The merchandise exported during last month was valued at $100,000,000, as compared with 8106!42000 in July, while the imports were valued at $01.- noadoo as compared with $79,420,000 the previous mohth.

MOSCOW, Beptember 16.— Soviet Russia, on the eve of Japan's recogni- tion of the new State of Manchukuo, informed Manchukuo officials the Chi- nese Eastern Railway in Manchuria is still the property of Russia and jointly managed by both parties on the basis of the old Peiping and Mukden agree- ments, it was disclosed today.

TOKIO, September 16.—The status of consuls and other officials of the United States and of other nations stationed in Manchukuo is now a sub- ject of their respective governments’ worry, with Japanese recognition giving the new state a substantial backing to its pretensions of independence. ‘While it is ed that these for- eign officials ncmdned to China will be permitied on, diplomats on of its rights &5 an mdependmt state, could strip them of their official functions and even expel them from the territory. ‘With the recognition of Manchukuo finally accomplished yesterday, the eyes of Japsnese official circles now are turned toward Geneva, where the next academic debate over the Manchurian imbroglio is due soon.

BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Star. PARIS, September 16.—All signs now indicate France is getting ready to cite Germany before the League of Nations Council for alleged breach of the armament clauses of+ the treaty of Versailles. The French government has been collecting material on the subject for years. It has a portfolio of alleged secret German rearmament during the last few years, publication of which has long been insistently demanded by French Nationalists. Now. in addition, cemes Germany's formal refusal to attend the mesting of the Disarmament Conference Bureau September 21, the public declarations of the Reichswehr minister, Maj. Kurt von Schleicher, that Germany intends to see to its own “defense” in any case, and the creation by decree of a German Reichskuratorium. or national board for the physical training of youth, which France regards as a definite act of rearmament and a flagrant violation of Article 177 of the treaty of Ver- sailles. The German army, according to the French stafl, already consists of 250.000 highly trained soldiers, namely, the Reichswehr and the Schupo (police), plus some 500.000 orginized veterans, or a total of 750,000. To this, it is said, would now be added a militia. Against this German force, France, it is claimed, could only put into the first line defense some 250.000 men. Nationalist newspapers here are be- ginning to demand ihe immediate re- organization of the French army to meet the alleged “menace.” The government, however, as the first step, seems to intend merely to ask the League Council to refer the case t> the Hague court for decision. Repeated British- efferts to get the duarmamem bureau meeting -postponed in order to avoid & diplomatic crisis are finding no support here. (Copyright. 1032.) BRITISH OFFICIALS SILENT. LONDON, September 16 (#).—Brit- ish official quarters remained reticent today regarding Germeny's claim to equality in armaments with the other nations of Europe.
