1 FOR RELIEF FUNDS b A.F.OF L APPEALS Molds Moral Fortitude of Na- i tion Endangered by Em- I7 ployment Crisis. Wccompanying & warning that “we losing something more valuable han gold—the vitality and moral forti- Mide of our people,” a Nation-wide ap- for relief funds was made today the American Federation of Labor $o combat “the greatest unemployment Grisis of all times.” “Our relief bill this year,” the fed- eration said in its November survey of business, “will be in hundreds of mil- | loms of dollars.” “Yet,” it added, “although many | have given genercusly and public funds have been taxed exhaustively, relief for | our millions of unemployed has been at starvation levels.” Expect 12,700,000 Jobless. Labor said that if the number out of work increases by even the normal seascnal amount, 12,700,000 will be un- employed by January. It also estimated that “already nearly one-third of all our wage and small-salaried workers are deprived of a chance to earn a living.” ‘The basis for the assertion that relief | was now at “starvation level” was the reports compiled, the report said, by the Agriculture and Labor Departments. At the last report, relief allowances in the United States were averaging $19.19 & month per family, or less than $4.80 a week. Government agencies have set from $7.50 to $10 as a minimum emergency budget for food alone for & family of five. “Relief appeals this year are more urgent than ever,” Labor asserted. “Yet t.hfi relief roll cannot replace the pay roll. ®dded $186,000,000 to workers’ pay en- velopes, more than 10 months' relief | payments by 384 agencies in 110 cities. | Our great task is to start industry pro- | ducing, to put men to work to supply | their own needs, to get living standards back to normal. Prices Again Drop. “When business started upward this Fall, revivai did not continue. Since October, industrial activity has been | slackening, prices are moving downward | again, freight shipment on railroads | have declined, declines in electric power | production show that factory operation is slowing down, and recently stock | prices too have started downward. | “A few cheering reports suggest that | business is not likely to return to last | Summer’s low level—steel orders are | increasing with the demand for new | machinery encouraged by reconstruction committees and with the slight gain | in automobile production. But the post- ponement of_ sustained forward move- mens shows that something is still hold- | ing business back. Credit for business | is still shrinking; banks are wary in| lending, busine men hesitate long- | time projects.” | In citing the change in the value of | the dollar since 1929, the 1929 dollar| today being worth $1.51 for goods and | 271 for grain, labor cited the farmer's | case of having to raise three times as much to pay the $1,000 debt contracted in 1929, “Likewise,” the federation said, “the textile manufacturer can get only 58 cents a yard for cloth which brought a dollar in 1929, and he must sell twice as much goods to pay off his debt. Workers are still struggling under in- stallment debts of 1929, which must be paid out of reduced wages. Thus debts in many.cases are doubled or even | trebled in terms of the work necessary to repay them. With prices and in- comes still declining, it is no wonder that farmer, manufacturer and work- er alike hesitate to buy credit and take on new debt burdens. 30,000,000 Jobless in World. In commenting on world-wide unem- ployment, the report estimated there were 30,000,030 parsons without work and in addition millions more are working such short schedules that their income ‘“provides only the barest of pittance.” “Counting these millions and the families dependent on them, world un- employment has reduced to poverty as many persons as the entire population | of the United States,” Labor asserted. ‘The report observed that every year of depression has added 5,000,000 per- sons to the army of unemployed in 17 countries. The number out of work in | September was the largest in the United | States, 10,900,000; Germany was sec- | ond with 5,261,000, and Great Britain | third with 2,946,000. | “In every country,” the report said | in conclusion, “there is a deep feeling of revolt against a situation that denies workers a chance to earn a living.

(Continued From First Page.) postponement under the principles heretofore laid down by this country. “At the Lausanne Conference, which has been referred to as a precedent for the suspension of payments during those conferences, that postponement was the natural result of the facts which had been elaborately presented during many menths of . previous in- quir; Mr. Hoover laid great stress on the | desirability of responding in a friendly | way to the debtor nations asking for | a conference on the debts. He said: “There is a larger aspect to this| question of responding to an invitation frcm a friendly nation to discuss, through effectively authorized agents, a | problem of deep concern to both. TI discussion does not involve | ment on our part of what we believe to be sound and right. Could Present Views. “On the other hand, the refusal would | afford others the opportunity to pie- sent in conference their views and tfil hear ours upon a question in which w2 are both concerned, and an insistence! upon dealing with' our neighbors at| arm’s length would be the negation of the very principles upon which rest | the hope of rebuilding 2 new.and! better wcrld from the shattered rem- | nants of the old.” The President, in his statement, re- viewed: the history of the foreign debts and pointed out that from the tl.me‘ of the creation of these debts the United States has insisted that they must be treated as entirely separate from the reparation claims against Germany. He pointed cut_also that this country has | made concessions to the foreign debtors | ranging from 30 per cent to 80 per cent | of the total amounts that were due. If the President continues with his proposal for the re-establishment cf the cld World War Debt Commission, or some new agency to discuss the debts with Great Britain, France, Italy and the other debtor nations, it will have to be threshed out and passed upon by the Congress, itself. Some of the par- ticipants in the conference today said the matter had been discussed, but no conclusion had been reached thereon. After talking over the debt problem the Vice President-elect; Senator Pat Harrison, the ranking Democratic mem- ber of the Senate Finance Committee; Representative Rainey, the Democratic calls for consideration of those essen- tial principles which are its corner | IOWANS BACK WALLACE | FOR PLACE IN CABINET Bon of Former Secretary Indorsed | for Agricultural Post in Roose- velt Administation. | By the Associeted Press. | DES MOINES, Iowa, November 23.— The Iowa Federated Farm Organisa- tions dispatched a telegram to Gov. Roosevelt last night urging the appoint- ment of Henry A. Wallace of Des Moines, farm publications editor, as Becretary cf Agriculture in the new cabinet. Wallace's name has been mentioned 1n recent dispatches as a possible choice for the post. He is the son of the late | Henry C. Wallace, Secretary of Agricul- ture in the Harding administration. ‘Wallace, a Republican, swung his support to Roosevelt in the recent cam- paign, maintaining that the interests of the farmer could best be served by en- actment of provisions in the Demo- cratic platform Fined for Biting Off Cat's Tail.

This stand dashed all hope of a| joint program on the debts to be spon- sored by the President and the Presi- dent-elect. Mr. Hoover will proceed in his own way and with his own pro- gram regarding the debts. The general opinion of the conferees at the White House today was that | the foreign debtor nations would bz | able to meet and would meet the pay- | ments due December 15. Meanwhile, Poland's formal notice that she wants a pcstponement of the | December 15 payment and reconsidera- tion of the debts arrived at the State | Department.

Out of President Hoover's extraordi- nary consuliation yesterday with Gov. Roosevelt—f{rom which the President. elect departed without commitment— there emerged last night a statement attributed to the administration that England would make no debt payments | to the United States after December 15 unless her plea for reconsideration is met. This was coupled with the sug- gestion from the President that the War Debt Commission be revived. The swirl cf war debt talk yesterday swept from the fire-lit quiet of the White House ved room to the smoke- filled hotel room of the New York Gov- ernor, where at midnight he talked with Democratic chieftains from Capltol‘ - Hill. ed to have told his conferees that Mr. Hoover and Secretary Mills had in- formed him that Great Britain would meet its December 15 payment of $95.- | 000,000, but would demand a new study of the question before paying further. Should refusal to pay ensue, the ad-| ministration was pictured as foreseeing | an extremely grave situation. | It was indicated that the Chief Ex- | ccutive had maintained this Nation | should make a rigid stand toward the | payments due it three weeks hence. Only Italy among the major debtor nations has refrained from asking sus- pension of them. Disavows Responsibility. Mr. Roosevelt’s reply to the Presi- dent’s reported declarations was de- scribed as a disavowal of responsibility for debt policies until he himself as- sumes office on March 4. Further, in his midnight round table | cenference, the position of the Presi- | dent-elect was outlined as one of not dictating to the Democrats in the| Senate ond the House until his admin- | istration. begins. He was, ~however, | willing to discuss his views of the ap- proaching session. Prom all the discussion—more than two hours of it in the White House and | even more in the New York Governor’s | hotel suite—there emerged only on official statement. Issued from the | White House with the approval of both Mr. Hoover and Mr. Roosévelt in 40 words, it read: | “The President and Gov: Roosevelt traversed at length the subjects men- tioned in their telegraphic communica- tion. It is felt that progress has been made. The President confers with the | members of th> Congress tomorrow, | when the subject will be further purvi sued.” Thus it was officially announced that | not only war debts, but world arma- | ment and the projected world monetary economic conference had been gone over. Similarly around the table of Mr. Roosevelt's hotel room the talk extend- ed beyond debts and the international fleld. The President-elect told his fel- low Democratic allies he believed that with a sharp slash in the Federal budget and the enactment of beer leg- | islation in the approaching short ses- | sion of Congress, the budget could be balanced. He said he hoped a farm relief pro- gram along the lines of his campaign addresses at Topeka and Sioux City, | would be enacted, and listened to an expressed desire from several that a special session next yesr could be avoided.

Committee during the Among the callers on Mr. Roosevelt | was Senator Swanson of Virginia, in line for chairmanship of the Foreign Relations Committee to succeed Senator | Borah of Idaho in the next administra- tion. They discussed the debt diffi-| culties, and in reply to a question as to| the feasibility of setting up a new com- | mission to review the debt question, Swanson on leaving said: “You cannot get a proposal like that | through this Congress.” When President Hoover and Gov. | Roosevelt greeted each other in the/ red room of the White House yester-| day, they appeared more like old friends geiting together after a long seperation. Their greeting was cordial and friendly, and there was not the slightest trace of any lingering bitterness. They seemed to have forgotten the campaign entirely in renewing an association that had its inception nearly 15 years ago. Greeting Is Cordial. Mr. Hoover, with Secretary of the Treasury Mills, was seated in the red room talking when the New York Gov- ernor was announced. The President and Mr. Mills rese quickly and hur-! ried toward the doorway. President Hoover had a friendly smile on his face as he greeted his successor- elect. The Governor then shook hands with Secretary Mills, whom he has| known since boyhood days, and pre- sented Prof. Raymond Moley, Colum- bifa University, to the President and| Secretary. Prof. Moley has been one of his closest advisers. The group then strolled across the room and selected chairs placed infor- | mally about a small table and without further ‘loss of time entered upon the subject of the conference, which was precedent-making, inasmuch as it was the first occasion that a President has invited a President-elect who had just defeated him for re-election to a con- ference. No one else was in the room But the President, Gov. Roosevelt and their two | advisers. ' As soon as they were seated | a liveried butler passed around “smokes,” the President and Secretary Mills se- lecting long cigars, while the President- elect and Prof. Moley took cigarettes. The Governor puffed on his through a long holder, which occasionally he held betvlveen his teeth at quite a jaunty angle. No Stenegraphic Report. ‘There was no stenographic report of the conference and the only record of this epochal discussion was kept in the memory of the four participants. All that is known officially of the con- ference was contained in the terse, two- line statement issued later. Gov. Roosevelt at a conference with the press immediately afterward in his suite at the Mayflower was bombarded with questions relating to the confer- ence, but to all of these he preferred to leave their answers to the President. He said it would not be becoming on his pert to make any comment. A mob of cheering admirers was at Union Station when Gov. Rocsevelt motored away en route to the White House. A number of old friends and prominent Democrats were grouped | about the station platform to greet the President-elect and his traveling com- pany when he left his train. Among these were Admiral Cary Grayson, who was physician to President Woodrow Wilson and who has been selected asi chairman of the Roosevelt Inaugural Committee; John F. Costello, Demo- cratic national committeeman for the District; Daniel Roper, commissioner of internal revenue under Wilson; Robert Wooley, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during of the Wilson regime and later a member of the Inter- state Commerce Commission. men were all well known to the| Governor and he greeted them when he started away. Garner Boards Train. I Vice President-elect Garner had join- | ed the presidential party at Baltimore. | Others on the Governor's train were James A. Farley, chairman of the Dem- | ocratic National Committee; Col. Louis Howe, the Governor's confidential sec- ' retary, and M. H. McIntyre, another of | the Governor's secretaries. On behalf of the President, Gov.| Roosevelt was greeted upon his arrival | by Mr. Robbins, who is & cousin of the Governor, and Capt. Walter N. Vernou, chief naval aide at the White House. Mr. Delano was at the station. Mr. Robbins, Capt. Vernou and Prof. Moley rode with the Governor to the White House. Much to the surprise of every one, Gov. Roosevelt selected the secret service automobile, an open car with| the top down, for his journey to the| White House rather than the machine; with the presidential monogram on either side. This afforded him an op-| portunity to be seen by the crowds en route and to wave and smile in response to the cheering. | * Representative Edwin L.

PARIS, November 23 (#)—Premier | Herriot and Lord Tyrell, the British Am- | bassador, talked together for some time | today, presumably about the attitude of both governments toward the American debts. They issued no communique, but there were indications that France and Great Britain will adopt a common . policy with the object of obtaining an| | eventual adjustment of the entire issue. | | *It was learned on good authority |that at the last cabinet meeting it was decided that France will follow a policy similar to England’s. England has in- dicated that she will pay the $95,500,000 interest installment due December 15 if the United States cannot postpone the due date. This helps to explain recent reports that Premier Herriot is ready to pa: the December interest if thc Hoover moratorium is not prolonged. The premier’s friends said today that he is | ready to stake the life of his govern- | ment on this issue if necessary. Reliable information was that he and Lord Tyrell agreed to await the official result of the conference yesterday be- | tween President Hoover and Gov. | Roosevelt before announcing the course which France and England will follow. The premier announced that he would not appear at a meeting of the par- | liamentary Foreign Affairs Committee | this afternoon. This blocked a plan for detailed dis- cussion of the debts by the committee | One member moved that the Govern- ment be required to explain its position immediately, but the committee decided to defer the matter until next week’s meeting, apparently from a desire not to embarrass the premier. An_unofficial poll of the Deputies in the chamber lobbies made by the news- papers today showed a big majority in opposition to payment of the December | interest, with an insistence that the premier take no decisive step without a | Parliamentary mandate.
