WKELLAR REPLIES 10 LORD SNOWDEN " genator Cites “Innumerable Inaccuracies” Contained in Statement. Senator Kenneth McKellar of Ten- nessee replies belcw to the bitter article published Friday in American news- rpe\'! by Viscount Philip Snowden, former British Chancellor of the Ex-| chequer. Lord Snowden always has considered nts of the war debts to the| American Government little short of a crime, and while at The Hague col ference in 1929 he was ready to wreck the Young plan in order to obtain $50.- 000,000 more for Great Britain. strongly resented payment of the British war debts to this country. From Lord Snowden’s article it is not quite clear whether he stands for revis- ion or cancellation of the British debt alone, or whether he advocates a gen- eral cancellation of all war debts on t basis of the remission of reparations payments by all the former allies to Germany. Senator McKellar does not argue sbout the position Lord Snowden has taken, but merely points out what he terms the “innumerable inacuracics” contained in Viscount Snowden’s article. Cites Lausanne Pact. Concerning the Snowden statement stressing the point that European debtor countries no longer receive reparations from Germany, which hitherto enabled them to pay their obligations to the United States. Senator McKellar say: “The European countries last Spring met together and agreed to remit nine- tenths of Germsay's debts to the provided that America would cancel the debts due to America. The Iz of the agreement was a secret man’s agreement.’ It is consequently their fault and not ours that they re- leased Germany. “At best, this was a conditional agreement, evidently for the purpose of working up the sympathies of America and without consulting America beforehand. In other words the Lausanne agreement lets Germar off, provided the United States pays for her.” ‘Answering Lord Snowden’s statement | that the British payment will be “a | charge on the budget for which no provision has been made,” McKellar says: “Great Britain made an agrcement to cancel Germany's debis provided we canceled the debts due ifrcm Great Britain. She made this agreement without consulting us and with the full knowledge that the Congress of | the United States had declared that there would be no cancellation of any | debts, and with the full knowledge of the British government that only the Congress had a right to deal with the uestion of cancellation. If, therefore, | :w has not taken this item (the $96.- | 000,000) into account in her budget, the fault is hers alone. To the statement that “the debt set. tlement made by Mr. Baldwin is onerous and unjust,” the reply of the Senator is that “we canceled one-third of the British debts due us, reduced the in- terest to about one-half of what Great Britain originally agreed to pay, and have given her 62 years in which to pay the principal in small installments.” | “Not Extraction of Money.” To Lord Snowden's quotation of President Hoover's statement that “I| am sure that the American people have no desire to extract any sum beyond the capacity of the debtor to pay,” the Senator explains that this “is not a| case of extracting money. The debts are not ours, but_those of various Eu- ropean nations. We are merely an ac- commodation indorsor, and, as such, if they don't pay these debts, we must. “It is estimated that the American people owe today some $200,000,000,000 of debts. It is evident that they are not able to pay these debts as snd when they fell due, in this time of d ession; and yet, Lord Snowden would g:ve his government released entirely beeause of the depression and add their debts to ours. “Mr. Hoover's statement binds no one, and evidently was not intended to | bind the American Government in any | way, as Congress only has control over | these debts, and the British government | knew this fact.” McKellar then challenges Viscount Snowden to state plainly who had told him “America would be found not u reasonable” if Germany's creditors would make a reasonable settlement of reparations. 3 Senator McKellar finds a great dif- ference between the debts the form allies owe the United States and many’s reparations. “The truth of the business,” he says, “is ‘that the allies had received from Germany all that they could collect In additicn, they were demanding from Germany _tribute—not a contrac debt at all. The two (the debts and the reparations) are not on the sam basis in any sense. “Never Considered Gift.” To the attempt of Lord Snowden to demonstrate that the loans were a con- tribution to a common cause, Mc- Kellar answers that they were never considered so, and brings forth the fact | that “business was business”—even during the war—since the British gov- ernment saw fit to charge $70 for cach of the millions of Americans she trans- ported overseas. “But even if our loans could be 5o construed,” adds McKellar, “that con- struction would apply only to moi advanced during the war for w 1t could have no appl money loaned since the arm during the war for commercial cellor of the exchequer that th debt aggregated $4,600,000,000 and thal Great, Britain had agreed to pav §11 000,000,000, is considered by McK as “the most unworthy ement the entire article,” and “no statesman should have uttered it.” The Senator points out that ‘‘morc than two-thirds of the $11,000.000.000 is interest at the smallest of rates t Great Britain will pay within 62 years from the date of settlement. If Great Britain wishes to borrow the m from her own people and make a ca payment, she can get rid of about two- thirds of $11,000,000,000." McKellar also questions the wisdom of the statement that “a Pprc 15 Europe is worth more as a customer than the entire foreign debt” which Lord Snowden attributes to the Secre- tary of the Treasury—either Mr. Mellon or Mr. Mills “We gave them already half of these debts,” says the Senator, “in the settle- ments already made, and that di t make Europe a better American cu tomer. Then we gave them the mora torium, and that did not make Euro a better American customer. In judgment, they (Europe) are going buy where it is cheapest for them buy and it is all poppycock to assert t the contrary.” ROUTS BANDITS WITH GUN Laundry Man Fires Two Shots and Robbers Flee. Richard Lee, a laundry man in 1200 block of First street, told police early today that he was forced to fire two shots from & pistol to drive off two would-be bandits attempting to rob him in his establishment. He said one of the men attempted to pull & pistol on him when he re- sorted to his weapon. He sald his shots went wild and the men fled.

Willlam G. Swan, , parachute jumper and rocket-propulsion pioneer. This conception of “The system now used is crude,” Swan said. “The guns and men are dropped separately and the guns have to be packed carefully to protect them from the shock of landing. When the men and guns land they are frequently at widely scparated points. The man must find his gun, unpack it and set it up before he is ready for action. If he lands in the face of the enemy this delay may be fatal. Ready to Go Into Action. “With my arrangement the gun is ready to go into action and may cven be fired before landing to clear the way temporarily. When the gunner lands he is standing in his partially armored cockpit with the gun mounted and ready for action in his hands. The cockpit bottom can be opened in an instant so he can put his feet on the ground and the glider has wheels so he can push the whole outfit over the ground without getting out of the cock- pit or leaving his gun.” Swan said he build a working model of his device be- cause the market for aerial exhibitions has fallen off and, like others, he finds | himself out of work with a family to support.

He was captured by Brazilian rebels and imprisoned for 14 days during the recent revolutions while delivering a fighting plane to the Brazilian govern- ment. He flew the plane to Brazil from the United States, but had the mis- fortune to land while the rebels were in control and found himself “on the wrong side of the fence.” His imprison- ment nearly resulted in forei; en- tanglements for the United States. Swan is credited with having made | the first parachute jump from an auto- giro and made a “six perachute” jump from an_altitude of 10,000 feet on the Pacific Coast, opening one chute after another as he dropped. He is the inventor of an airplane training device which is in use in many parts of the country and is credited with having done much to develop rocket propulsion devices and more ef- fective explosions for rocket use.

MIDWEST DEMOCRATS JOLTED BY THEIR UNEXPECTED VICTORY ! Many Candidates for State Office Had Run Merely to Help the Party. and Don’t Want the Jobs. §; , Special Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, November 19.—Now that the wreckage is being cleared away after the Democratic landslide of No- vember 8, a number of strange results of that vote avalanche are coming to light It turns out that some of the victors in the Middle West’s rock-ribbed Re- publican States were more surprised than pleased with the nature of their triumph. Some thought that they would merely do their party a good turn by consenting to permit their names to £0 on the ballot In Wisconsin, where no Democrat had seriously aspired to State office in 37 years La Follette set about wrecking the Democratic party of that State—there | were & number of these shocks. Michi- |gan had some more, and others were ttered about in rock-ribbed Iowa and ith Dakota. ‘When the Democrats shaped their party tickets in several of these States they little thought of victory. Several men were induced to permit the use of their names in order to go through the formality of party recognition. De- mocracy had reached such a low state in Wisconsin only a few years ago that it lost a place on the ballot, failing to qualify with enough votes in the general election to attain legal standing. Now the men who went into politics as a favor find themselves with jobs. | There is a new secretary of state in Wisconsin, who is a 65-year-old rail- T xd conductor with a long service rec- ord. tinuity by stepping out with possible lass of retirement privileges.

As if to climax an unusual sit- uation, Milwaukee elected a street sweeper to county office. Up in Michigan, the State woke up |after the Democratic landslide—the first of the century—to learn, not only |that it had a new set of officers, but that it couldn't even find two of the candidates elected to serve the people. ‘That situation will be remedied. Then, toc, just to show its preferences, the electorate chose two judges by the name of Murphy, while rejecting two candidates who were old and well- established the State bench. Down in Oklahoma, Will Rogers, no relative of the comedian, led the whole ticket in number of votes received. In Lake County, Indiana, the real center of Republican strength in that State, not a Republican candidate survived the November 8 devastation. Illinois sort of paved the way for the recent results, and'showed what an electorate can do, whem back in 1930 it chose a State treasurer. On the day after election the party found that a youngser, Edward J. Barrett, unheard of and without any political background, had become the party nominee for State treasurer. Mr. Barrett was elected that year, and this year became State auditor of IRinois. All of the Legislatures in the Middle West, normally under regular Repub- lican control, this January are to be filled with new faces, & large propor- tion of them Democnatic in complexion. Just @s congressional leaders went residents on down to defeat In many States, so State legislative leadezs were eliminated in the Fall sweep. (Copyrisht, 1932.)
