GERMAN DEMAND JUST, BORAH SAYS Asks Al Nations to Join Hands to Make Arms Parley a Success. (Continued From First Page.) but essentially and fundamentally just. ‘The desire for equality in all respects in the family of nations is inherent and inextinguishable in the hearts and minds of every self-respecting people. ‘This question of equality is far more than the technical question of the weight of armaments between Germany and the signatories of the Varsailles ‘Treaty. In involves the deeper and wider problem whether the governments of Eurcpe have arrived at the point where they are willing to deal with each other upon a basis of peace rather than that of war—upon principles of equality and justice. Such are the principles obtaining between nations in time of peace, and the question is: Whether we have reached the place ‘where we are willing to consider our relationship upen the basis of peace. If the terms and principles of the Versailles Treaty. based upon the theory of victor and victim, are still in full force and are to remain so, disarma- ment will be, as it thus has been, a failure. There is nothing more unrea- sonable, more unfair, no greater obstacle to world recovery, than the idea of holding a great nation within the bounds established at the close of the war. The great question is: Shall all na- tions be treated upon the basis of equalitv? That is the supreme ques- tion which has been raised. The other signatories have it within their power not only to meet this demand of equal- ity with Germany by disarming, but by doing so to serve the cause of peace and to render an incalculable sepvice to_humanity. The plea for the sanctity of treaties 1s sound. but it should and must include all parties. The Versailles Treaty has not been observed with reference to disarmament by the governments which dictated its terms and contemporane- ously construed them. Instead of Europe disarming, as it was bound to do, if the spirit of the treaty was to be chserved, it has been arming ever since the Versailles Treaty was written. Declares Pacts Menaced. It may be, and probably is, true as contended that technically the treaty in this respect has not been violated. But technically to observe the terms of a treaty while violating it in spirit and moral purpose is in some respects more indefensible than open rejection. That practice renders all treaties practically worthless. The Nine-Power Treaty, the | Kellogg Pact, the Covenant of 'the ! League. are now being menaced, if not wrecked, and the whole machinery of peace threatened under this practice of technical observance, while in spirit and in moral purpose ell are being dis- regarded with impunity. Such things make treaties something more than a shar, worse than a miserable pretense. German does not claim, as I under- stand that she has a technical right to disregard the Versailles Treaty. But 2ll the werld knows the spirit of the treaty has been disrezarded by the other signatories, and Germany claims that under such circumstances her case is entitled to be heard in a court of conscience. < t is contended that the time is in- opportune to raise this question. But it is one of those kinds of questions which does not and can not consult the niceties of procedure on prorieties as to when it shall come forward for consideration. A question which arouses a sense of injustice, a feeling of inferiority and humiliation, to say nothing of fear, upon the part of whole people. has a way, as Thomas Carlyle would say, of getting itself heard regardless of propriety and op- portuneness. In my own view the time is extreme- ly opportune to raise these post-war preblems and adjust them on the basis of peace. More than 13 years have passed, and the suffering and sacrifice, the loss to individuals and nations by reason of these unscttled problems are beyond the power of language to ex- press. The forces which retard the economic recovery of the world are the hang-over questions of the war. The forces which seek to keep alive and build up a war mentally are the same unsettled questions. How much longer is the world to wait for the scttlement of these prob- lems which have already brought and are still to bring so much misery and hunger and starvation to uncounted millions in all parts of the world? It is being industriously urged that Germany's demand for equality will wreck the conference. Why should this be so? The terms of the Ver- sailles Treatv relative to disarmament were carefully worked out by eminent experts such as Gen. Foch, with a view of bringing about real disarmament— no faults, no pretend-d disarmament— in Germany. With the terms of this treaty before them and with Germany's demands accentuating the effectiveness of its terms, the conference will have an example to emulate. Up to Other Powers. This question of equality is wholly within the control of the other powers. ‘THey can bring about real disarmament and thus render Germany's demand a thing of great good instead of a thing of great harm. If the conference fails, the disarmament cause comes to an ignorable end, and the fault will rest with the “allied and associated powers” and not Germany. Germany has disarmed. Her demand is that the other powers give her a position of equality—not that she be permitted to arm. It is due to the other nations that Europe is an armed camp—that Europe has an army of 4,500,000 men—that the leading nations are extorting from their tax-ridden people $5,000,000,000 a year for arma- ments. Now these nations have not been arming against Germany, for she has been disarmed. Nevertheless, they have been arming upon a stupendous and incefensible scale. When the treaty SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Central Powers were reduced to impotency. Neverthe- less, the allies are spending billions for i armaments. The question of disarma- | ment has been and now is the prob- | lem of those who came victorious out of | the war, and dictated their own terms to the conquered. If disarmament fails, the fearful obliquy must rest with those | who won the war. It seems strange so little progress | has been made in disarmament. All| nations profess to be for disarmament, powerful speeches are made periodically by the representatives of governments for disarmament. The people are in favor of disarmament. But little prog- ress is being made. | Assails Intolerance. It is singular that the cutlook seems | doubtful. Why is it? It seems to me it is because of the intolerance, the | unwillingness, of nations “to live and let live,” to grant to all peoples the right “to live their own lives in their own weay,” the reluctance to concede that honesty of purpose and sincerity | of plan may be found elsewhere than | in “our” cwn land. In individuals we | loathe intolerance, we despise narrow- ness of view and insufferable egotism. | But those things which are vices with individuals seem to be virtues with nations. Last Meay I received a letter from a distinguished person in Europe. In this letter were these lines: “Your country is egain disclosing a keen de- sire to see FEuropean nations diserm. ‘We are compelled to doubt either your knowledge of our problems, or—which we do not like to do but sometimes are forced to do—your sincerity. Russia could bring her troops across our bor- ders in a dangerously short time. You say to us: Disarm. Reduce your armies. Yet you say to the world that | Russia is so dangerous, so thoroughly to be feared, that you will not admit | her to a place in the family of nations, | notwithstanding you are thousands of | miles away from her. If you were | situated as we are, I wonder what would be the size of your army and | navy.” | We promote peace pacts, we urge | disarmament, we would have universal | peace, but we exclude from our con- | sideration and from all our plans, | estrange from our circle and exclude | from our glorious scheme for a better | world one-sixth of the earth’s surface | and 160,000,000 pecple. | Is it because they repudiated their | debts? These debts can bz adjusted on a far more favorable basis than we adjusted the debts of other nations. Is it because of her propaganda? Does | any one in public place have so little faith in the intelligence of the Ameri- can people? Is it because they want a government of their own conception? To deny them that would be contrary to the fundamental tenets of our faith. Soviet Government “Stable.” ‘We simply fail to measure up to the spirit of tolerance, of amity, of willing- ness to co-operate upon any true basis of world peace. The basis of all peace plans, the foundation of all disarma- ment plans are the natural and ordinary relations, commercial and diplomatic; or, in other words, the willingness of one to deal with another upon the basis of equality, of justice, of respect. For 14 years the government of | Russia has stood up against intrigues | from within and conspiracies from without. It is a stable government. | ‘The United States, the Soviet Govern- | ment of Russia are both signers of the Kellogg pact. The representatives of this Government and the representa- tives of the Soviet government of Russia met at London and discussed for days the wheat problem. Our rep- resentatives sit near the Soviet repre- sentatives at Geneva. I understand they bow nervously to one another, but | do not speak—in the open. But we refuse to do that which makes for amity, for peace, for disarmament. How deep and impelling is our desire for peace, for good will on earth and among men? My view is that we have come to the period in this awful situation—mil- lions hungry, armament expenditures increasing—deepening distress among the people and heavier burdens for them to carry—when we must seek spiritual disarmament. When we must put in practice that which we preach. (Copyright, 1932, by North American News- paper Alliance, Inc.) CONSERVATIVE BANK PRACTICE ADVISED Head of National Association Warns Against Radical Changes. Group to Hear Mills. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, October 3.—On the eve of the opening of the fifty-eighth annual convention of the American Bankers' Association, President Harry J. Hass of Philadelphia warned against any radical change in banking practice. “The past year has b2en the most de- structive period in the history of bank- | ing in this country,” he said in an in- terview. “At such times the uninformed are prone to criticize all banks and bankers, and many remedies are sug- gested. Some have merit, while others are far-fetched and would work much rm. ‘“Unbiased consideration grants there are certain banking changes that the country’s normal financial development calls for. Bankers arc earnestly in favor of constructive action for the pub- lic welfare. Equally should they oppose extreme or unsound changes and in-| terferences with banking and should stand organized to make their opposi- tion effective.” Leaders said they expected 3,00 dele- gates when the convention cfficially | cpans tomorrow. | Ogden L.

Philatelist at Museum CALLS HERSELF “OLD-FASHIONED” COLLECTOR OMEWHAT hidden in an obscure corner of the National Museum | is one of the most interesting | stamp collections in the world. It was not until 1908 that the | museum began to be seriously con-| cerned with philatelic matters. A small | miscellaneous collection of stamps had | accumulated through the last years of the nineteenth century, but nothing had been done in an organized way to add to the exhibit. However, the death of David W.! Cromwell, a New York philatelist, and | the news that he had bequeathed some | 20,000 specimens of United States and fore issues to the Museum brought the subject to the fore in the minds of | the Museum authorities. | Make Up for Lost Time. ~ Their attention once directed to stamps, they promptly set about making up for lost time. In 1912 they secured from the Post Office Department a large assortment of stamps, stamped en- velopes and post cards, and since that date they have received all new issues | of stamps of countries belonging to the Universal Postal Union. The collection, therefore, steadily grows in number and in_value. Pending the construction of a better | shelter, the philatelic cabirets of the Museum are hous>d in the south end of the coin and medal hall. There zre at present 620 frames. approximating A 1930 estimate gave the of individual varieties on display as 52,000. Eventually, it is hoped that a scparate and distinct Toom may be available for the philatelic depart- ment’s use. % The specimens in ‘the museum’s United States collection are mostly unused Some postmasters' provisionals and carriers, however, are included. Special rarities are: The l-cent type 111A 1851 issue, inverted medallions of the 1869 ixsue, 12-cent and 24-cent grilled of the 1870 issue; and the 6-cent and 8-cent 1895 issue on Tevenue paper. Pre-stamp covers, sets of specimen stamps, cardboard proofs, die proofs and general Confederate issues also are represented. There is a small exhibit of commemoratives. Foreign Specimens, The foreign specimens also for the most part are in unused condition. EX- ceptions to this rule are stamps from Australia, Nauru, New Guinea, north- west Pacific islands and a few others. The stamps of Great Britian, the Brit- ish Dominions, colonies and protec- torates are generally surcharged or per- forated with the word “specimen.” Through the Universal Postal Union | foreign pre-paid impressions are re- | ceived. | The museum collection is in charge | of Mrs. C. L. Manning. A collector since her girlhood—a period, she says, when stamp collecting Mrs. Manning’s first album cost but 25 | cenfs From that small beginning, a | gift from a cousin, she developed such | knowledge of philatelic matters that when but 16 she was employed by a collector and dealer in stamps. “0Old-Fashioned Collector.” Gradually, Mrs. Manning became an acknowledged expert in her field. For 8 years she was philatelic secretary to Senator J. S. Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey. She also assisted Judge C. E. ‘Wright, Representative Ernest R. Acker- man and other well known ‘collectors. Today she is in correspondence with professional and amateur philatelists throughout the world. “I am an old-fashioned collector,” Mrs. Manning explains. “I believe in generalizing, rather than in specializing. A good all-round international collec- tion is of more value in terms of educa- tion and enjoyment than mere pursuit of oddities ever can be. I have seen philately develop from something grown men were somewhat ashamed to be interested in to one of the most widely popular, instructive and valuable hobbies to be found anywhere on earth.” NO IDEA OF DIVORCE, DECLARES LILY PONS Separation She Told Reporters About Was Only Temporary, Says Singer, in Los Angeles.

Oh, no, no, no,” said Lily Pons, on her arrival here yesteyday for an appearance in grand opera. “Yes, I told reporters in New York that I was separated from my hus- band, but I did not mean permanent separation,” she added vehemently. “I said only, ‘he has his business in Eu- rope and I have my business here, so we are separated now.’ But I did not mean we would still be separated when I return to Europe at the end of the opera season.” She said she had been misunder- stood in New York dispatches, which suggested she might institute divorce action against her husband, M.

By the Assoclated Press, MOSCOW, October 3.—Quality rather than quantity is to be the watchword of Soviet production during 1933. So the Central Committee of the Com- munist party decided at the four-day meeting which ended last night and which is the annual occasion for formu- lating the policies of the coming year. The committee adopted a series of | resolutions admitting serious shortcom- ings in the development of the country’s | public economies, especially in foods, ! and exhorting the party members and the proletariat to put their shoulders to the wheel from now on. Outlining the work for the first year of the second ilve-year plan, which begins next year, the committee set- forth the following procedure: Improveement of the cities’ supplies of food and other commodities, in- creases in the production of goods for domestic consumption and elimination of the speculative spirit by the develop- ment oi a system of controlled prices and the introduction of labels for man- ufactured goods to improve their quality. The iron and steel industries are still retarding the economic development of the country becauce of poor leadership, the resolutions said, and they called for increased production from the plants indicating this would be the main aim in 1933 rather than building new plants.

By the Associated Press MEXICO CITY, October 3.—The Mexican government threw down the gauntlet to the Vatican today over last Priday's encyclical, in which Pope Pius XI protested against what he called he new and legal persecution” of the church and Catholics in the country. “If the insolent, defiant attitude shown in the recent encyclical con- tinues,” President Abelardo L. Rodri- guez said in a statement, “I am deter- mined that the churches will be con- verted into schools and shops for the benefit of the nation’s proletariat classes.” The National Chamber of Deputies will meet late today to consider the en- cyclical. “In an unforseen and absurd man- ner,” the statement said, “there has been published the encyclical ‘Acerba Anima,’ the tone of which does not surprise us. because methods filled with falsehood against this country are char- acteristic of the papacy. “To protest against the laws that in | their conception oppress the liberty of | the church openly incites the Mexican clergy to disobedience of existing laws and provokes a social disorder within the eternal work of the clergy, which is unable to resign itself to the loss of its dominion of souls and possession of property, by which means it held in complete lethargy the proletariat classes that were impiously exploited. (The Pope’s protest was directed particularly at the laws limiting the state to as few as one priest to each 100,000 inhabitants in the state of “Mexico has now entered into a com- plete period of stable institutional gov- ernment,” the President continued, “of progress and achievement, and it will not permit the re-entry into national affairs of a subject whose official ex- istence is not recognized in our laws, which have provided for complete separation of the church and state.” Luis Leon, who is expected to lead the debate in the Chamber of Deputies, in- dicated he would charge the encyclical was issued as a counter-attack to what he said was “now virtually conclusive evidence that directors of the Mexican Catholic clergy were behind the assassi- nation of President-elect Alvaro Obre- gon” in 1928. BURGLARS GET 8 TIRES FROM SERVICE STATION Establishment on Frederick Road, Near Rockville, Looted. Last Night. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., October 3.—Burg- lars broke into the Looper Brothers® service station on the Frederick road here last night and made off with eight automobile tires. It is believed they were frightened away before they finished ransacking the establishment, for several tires were found on the street, where they had been dropped by the intruders. Police found that the place was en- ‘forgotten man’ with Gov. Roosevelt. | “Nevertheless, former Gov. Smith is| still a Democrat and up to the present moment a very still one, although he may feel compelled, for personal and political reasons, to give a perfunctory indorsement to his party candidate, which would now amount to nothing more than damning his old friend Frank with faint praise.” Devison's _ withdrawal immediately | raised the question as to whether the Assistant_Secretary of War could be drafted for a place on the ticket as lieutenant governor. Plans Later Conference. State Chairman W. Kingsland Macy said he expected to have a talk with Davison later in regard to that point. Davison, in his statement, said he was withdrawing “as responsible party leaders, who represent a large majority of the delegates, have now given defi- nite indication of their suport to Col. Donovan.” “I leave the race with the warmest feelings toward Col. Donovan, who is one of my most intimate friends and for whom I have the highest regard.” he said, and promised his support in the campaign. At a three-hour conference of Macy and more than a dozen prominent Re- publican leaders in the afternoon, the slate, the platform and the question of electors were discussed. Col. Donovan was asked by newspaper men if he would accept the indorse- ment of the law preservation party, sup- porters of the prohibition law. “I wouldn't do anything to compro- mise any of my principles, but if the people have confidence in me, I see no reason why they (the law preservation party) shouldn’t vote for me.” Col. Donovan has defined his stand on prohibition as adherence to the ideas of President Hoover, expressed in the latter’s speech of acceptance. LEJEUNE NO BETTER V. M.
