Finds Simplicity Suited. “His capacity, his temperment, in- dustry and simplicity were adapted to the times and the work to be done.” Justice Rugg treated the life of the late President in chronological order, beginning with his birth in 1872 in the village of Plymouth, Vt., and closing ‘with his sudden death, last January 5, at his Northampton, Mass., home. “The Nation was stunned by this sudden and unexpected event,” Justice Rugg said. “The people of the country realized at once what a calamity had befallen them. They would no longer e able to rece his wise counsel or to rely on his understanding heart. * * * “A great statesman .is the product of heredity, endowment, education and the times.

Former Chaneellor of” sons that regrettable Snowden on War Debts cessions in Return for Sacrifice of Claims. Viscount Snowden, chancellor of the British exchequer 1929-31, in the following article on the United States-British debt tions decries provocative speeches by public officials on either side and suggests compensations which may accrue to the United States in scaling down Great Britain’s intergovernmental commitments. BY VISCOUNT PHILIP SNOWDEN, S. Entitled to Trade Con- in 1924 and the British Exchequer. LONDON, February 6 (N.AN.A.) —Success of the forthcoming conversations | on war debts and world economic problems between the United States and Great ‘Britain will depend in a large measure upon both parties entering the conference free from commitments made by statesmen beforehand in public speeches. It is vitally necessary that nothing of a pro- vocative nature should be said by responsible per- is calculated to arouse indignation. From this point of view, certain statements by the British chancellor of the exchequer are They convey the impression that Great Britain as a debtor denies the creditor the right to ask from the debtor some compensation for remission of the debt. Mr. CI coming del debts has maintains My Wi PBritain on Viscount Snowden. informati a sacrifice cn her part for the benefit opinion is taken into consideration and | financial and trade conditions, no settlem the debts, that she should be given some compensatign for the sacrifice of her claims, is not unreasonable, and it should be possible for Great Britain to adhere to this. Mr. Chamberlain's words on this point were badly chosen and bore a construction he probably never intended. He did not, in fact, rule out consideration of mutual agree- ments on trade and monetary matters which would put America in a better position in the British market than she occupies today. But any agreement which would give that result would not have to be of a wholly one-sided character. I don't believe that the British gov- ernment would agree to an arrange- ment whereunder American exports were given favorable terms in the British market while America main- tained her present prohibitive duties upon British goods. Actual agreement between the United States and Great Britain for greater | freedom of trade between the two | countries would give the compensation for the debt concesslons which the United States seeks. Such an agree- ment, whereby an increase in trade between the United States and Great Britain was secured, would be of | greater benefit to both countries than | isolated settlement of the war debts. Favors Tariff Agreement. If, for instance, the disadvantages to United States trade with Britain, which have been inflicted by the Ottawa agreements, would be removed, that alone would be substantial compensa- | tion to America for the sacrifice of her war debt claims. To make a bi-lateral tariff agree- ment with the United States would be in harmony with the claims which British statesmen are shouting from the housetops. They justify the adopt- jon of tariffs by Breat Britain solely on the ground that they give her a bargaining weapon to secure reduction | ©of tariffs in other countries. ‘The British government is pledged to reduce Britain'’s general tariff if thereby it can gain concessions else- where. In what precise form compen- sation to America should be given must be decided by the Washington conference, But if there is willing- ness on the part of the British dele- gates to understand the American view- | point, that America will be making a great and, to her, expensive sacrifice by remitting the debt claims, it should not be difficult to meet the American desire for compensation in & way which will be of benefit to America and won't deprive Britain of the relief which otherwise would come to her from re- mission of debt payments. The contention that any agreement with the United States for greater freedom of trade between the two countries must await the world economic conference is without substance. The willingness of the British government | to conclude trade agreements with foreign countries now seeking such agreements disposes of the argument that an agreement with the United States cannot be made part of the debt | settlement. Would Influence Parley. Indeed, such an agreement, made between the two greatest trading na- tions before the world conference meets, would have considerable in- fluence upon the conference in the direction of removing or reducing artificial hindrances to world trade. | The invitation to the Washington conference proposes that the discus- | slons_should be wide enough to cover | all the economic causes of the world depression. It is true that all remedies for the restoration of world prosperity | cannot be settled by a bi-lateral agree- | ment between the United States and Great Britain, but the _discussion | thereon at Washington, leading to an | | agreement in policy between the two countries before the world economic conference, should go far to insure the | | successful outcome of that conference. | | Two questions the Washington con- ference can settle: The debts question, and- the granting to the United States | compensation in the form of freer access to British markets on & basis of fair’competitive conditions. | Gold Basis Talk Undesirable. | Other questions of vital importance which can be broached at Washington are stabilization of exchanges and | disarmament. Neither of these matters can be settled by the United States and Great Britain alone. It is rumored that the United States will make it a condition of debt revision' that Great | Britain return to the gold standard. A | discussion of this important matter at | | the Washington conference, linking it | | up with the debt settlement, seems | | undesirable. Al nations are now so | vitally interested in the matter that | concerted action must be taken. | The attitude of the British govern- ment thereon has been made quite | plain. It is that the ground must be cleared for the return to the gold | standard and that sbuses arising in | the past must be made impossible in | the future. | In the course of public controversy on international questions, incidents | are bound to arise which may provoka temporary ill-gill or misunderstanding, but T think 18¥an speak for the people of England in saying that they realize the position of America in the debt controversy and are anxiousonly for a | friendly settlement which will be | mutually beneficial and leave no feel- | ings of disaffection on either side.

(Continued From First Page.) publicly and professed my sincere be- lief that Congress, as a body, is com- posed of honest men, and a fair read- | ing of the entire text of the article in question would show that my purpose was to proclaim the integrity of the Congress as a whole. “Many years ago I published in the New England magazine an article en- titled “The Loyalty of the Senate” in an attempt to reply to a serles of articles by the late David Graham Phillips. . . “The title of his articles was ‘The Treason of the Senate’ and at that time they caused a sensational discus- sion of the very subject now before the Senate. “I was at that time, as-I was in the New Outlook article, endeavoring to represent it as the true situation that the isolated case of the misconduct of individuals in office offered no basis for the loose public condemnation of the Senate we so often hear. Cites Glass Statement. “If it is an offense to have said what I said in my article, then not I alone am guilty, for on the 10th of May, 1932, Senator Glass of Virginia, speak- ing on the subject of the opposition of certain bankers to the proposed legis- lation in regard to branch banking, said: * ‘They hired a skillful and persuasive professional lobbyist and paid him a high salary to come here to Washing- ton—worse than that, they hired some Congressmen to my positive documentary knowledge—to oppose even the smail measure of branch banking.” “I would also respectfully call atten- tion to the letter of Senator Nye to the late Senator Caraway published in the printed hearings of the Nye committee investigating campaign expenditures in- volving an individual Senator. “Within the past few days a Senator has said in the Senate that a certain measure would be enacted because the interests were behind it, and it is a matter of frequent comment that the halls of Congress are filled with groups of lobbyists, and the lobbyist for special interests has always had a sinister name, “It might be, from all that is recited above, a fair inference that there are some men subject at least to influence, and my inference was based on a gen- eral knowledge of conditions surround- ing Congress and not on any concrete cases such as that spoken of by Sena- tor Glass. “Moreover, I employed my inference to dispute a popular impression that | Congress is filled with grafters, Would Tender Apology. “But certain Senators have appar- ently arrived at the conclusion that my words carry a meaning I never in- tended, and if the 1m.¢rfi:etanon is to be placed upon them that they con- stitute an attack upon the integrity of the Senate, I would unquestionably as an elected officer of the body owe the Senate an apology which, on that basis, I would unhesitatingly tender. “I have served the Senate, as I have heretofore stated, nearly 14 years. “In less than a month my successor in ordinary course would have been named. and I had expected to serve until then. “I do not believe that it would have been proper for me, as an elected officer of the Senate, to have published an article under my signature re- flecting upon the integrity of the Senate. “That would be an impropriety re- gardless of facts or evidence. “But I do not feel that I have so acted as to the Senate. “Quite to the contrary, afirmed the integrity of the Senate against a too widespread popular belief in the prevalence of corruption. Dishonesty Exceptional. “I have declared dishonesty in the individual, to which I think I have clearly shown it was reasonable for me to allude, to be exceptional and even relatively without influence. “I spoke of demagoguery. “If that constitutes an impropriety, I would gladly offer an apology as an officer of the Senate. “But the charge appears to be thaf I have assailed the integrity of the Senate. “Were I guilty of that I would not only apologize, I would resign. “Indeed I would have resigned first and made the charge afterward. “But belleving that I have not made any such attack, that I have said no more—indeed far less—than Senators Glass and Nye and others, I can only in good consclence await the judg- ment of the Senate.” The letter to which Barry referred was written by Senator Nye, Republic- an, of North Dakota, as chairman of the Senate Campaign _Expenditures Committee, to the late Senator Cara- way, Democrat, of Arkansas, then chair- man of the Lobby Investigating Com- mittee. Contains Eveland Statement. It contained a statement by S. 8. Eveland that he believed Senator Davis, Republican, of Pennsylvania, was “re- ceiving money from Dahlberg (B. G. Dahlberg, president of the Celotex Co. and other concerns) for favors which he, Davis, was rendering particularly during the tariff fight here.” Mr. Eveland, the letter said, “is of the opinion that many thousands of dollars were pald by Dahlberg to Davis." D The Lobby Committee later investi- gated the case, but made no final re- port to the Senate. During the investigation it was found that Senator Watson, Republican, of Indiana, and Davis each held stock in Dahlberg’s companies, for which they had given notes, but put up no cash. Under persistent interrogation, Barry said he had not had the Nye and Glass statements in mind when he wrote his magazine article, but “newspaper men"” had suggested these to him since Friday when the Senate suspended him. He declined to name those who made the suggestions. Asked If Views Changed. Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Mon- | tana, asked if his views as to the Senate character had changed since passage of the amendments providing for direct election of Senators, woman suffrage, prohibitien and bonus legislation. “You did say,” Walsh asked, “that passage of those measures would indi- cate a radical change for the worse in the composition of the Senate?” “I think so,” Barry replied. “I think it possible there were as many corrupt men in Congress then as now. That's a matter of opinion.” Senator Schuyler, Republican, Coloredo, inquired, “Do you _believe there are any Senators or Representa- tives who have or do sell their votes?" “I'm bound to believe so when I read the statements of Senators Nye and Glass,” Barry sald. No Knowledge of Bribe. “Aside from that have you any knowledge of any Senator or - sentative who has sold his vote?” “I have not.” Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, asked if Barry had any knowledge of his own that any Kk ator had acted in a “corrupt” way. “No sir, I think not,” was the reply. “Did you have any ill will when you wrote that arlicle?” “I had no fll will at all.

The bellef is universal and I always have tried to combat it even to the extent of being laughed at.” “You didn’t combat it in this article,” Borah said. “That article has been given an un- fair interpretation,” Barry said. .!eeunl is gen- “Your article, going unchallenged and | the fact you have been a Senate em- ploye for 14 years, will do more harm to the Senate than thousands of casual ob- servations of citizens who know nothing about it,” said Borah. “There are men who spend their lives here arying to serve the public who feel very deeply who spend their lives here trying to of that kind. You must bear in mind that millions of people who read it will say, ‘there is a man who knows.'” Barry repiied that the statements of Senators Glass and Nye were “much more specific than mine.” Senator Black, Democrat, of Alabama, | wanted to know “who called your at- tention to the Glass and Nye statements since last Friday?” “I have no reason to give that,” Barrv answered. “Who wrote your statement given this morning?” “I wrote it.” “At the time you wrote your article, you didn’t know anything about the Glass and Nye statements?” asked Chairman Norris. “I didn't have that in mind.” “How do you offer it as a defense then?” “I don't.” “Who suggested the Nye and Glass statements to {ou?" “They were suggested to me by wspaper man.” “Did a Senator suggest them to you?" asked Black. 0, sir,” Barry shot béick. “What newspaper man suggested them?” .lg don't think that is relevant,” Barry Senator Blaine, Republican, of Wis- consin, acked Barry if he realized the Glass and Nye statements referred to a “Congress of 10 years ago.” “That doesn't make tgoe slightest dif- ference,” Barry said. Norris then asked Barry with whom he conferred about writing the article in the current New Qutlock. “Frank A. Tichenor,” the official re- mled. “I understand he is the pub- her and managing editor.” Asked About Substantiation. “After sending in your article,” Nor- ris pursued, “did you get any inquiry from the Outlook as to whether you could substantiate the charges?” “No, sir.” Barry told Senator Walsh he had talked with a college student “in the last few days” who held the opinion that Congress was currput. “Who is this student?” Walsh asked. “We want to find out these men who sell their votes.” “I don't think that would be fair,” Barry replied. “He was telling me of his personal leellni and that they teach it in the schools. I will be glad to ask the student his permission to tell you and I believe he would be glad to let me.” Barry said he had “no other specific information” at this time bearing on his statements Senator Blaine, Republican, of Wis- consin, asked for Tichenor's letters to Barry. “He came to see me,” Barry replied. “According to your testimony to the Senate he wrote you a letter. Have you got it?” “I have it somewhere.” “Will you get it?” “I will be very glad to.” — e COUNTY SHORTAGE TAKEN TO COURT Delay for Check-up Asked in Be- half of Spotsylvania Treasurer. Spectal Dispatch to The Star. FREDERICKSBURG, Va. February 6.—Charges of shortage of $3,721.91 in accounts of Irvin C. Clore, treasurer of Spotsylvania County, were brought to the attention of Judge Frederick W. Coleman in Spotsylvania Circult Court this morning, when Frank M.

He said Mr. Clore stood ready to make good any amounts due. He assalled methods of Auditor An- drews in dealing with the report, term- ing him a “czar sitting in Richmond.” He cited other cases in which Andrews had alleged shortages in public funds, “charges not sustained in court.” Commonwealth's Attorney E. R. Carner concurred in request for more time to examine records and Judge Céleman directed that saccounts be studied, and if court action is found advisable it can be taken at the April | term of court.

Molicie rallied at this point and cracked his host on the head with an earthen pot. Pemberton was taken to jail and Molicie to a hospital. VOTE ON PAY CUTS MAY BE DELAYED Senate Not to Take Up Gen- eral Saving of 5 Per Cent Until Tomorrow. Unless rapld headway is made on other sections of the economy program this afternoon, the Senate probably will | not reach a vote on the new Govern- ment pay cut or on the Bratton pro- posal for a general saving of 5 per | cent on the fotal of each appropriation bill until tomorrow. The understanding is that the com- mittee recommendation for a 125 per cent cut in addition to the present 8% mer cent furlough will not be: voted on until after the Bratton amendment is disposed of, and that will be the last question in the bill. Before the Bratton amendment is voted on Senator Costigan, Democrat, of Colorado, will seek to have it worced so that further pay cuts or furloughs could not be imposed as a means of saving any of this 5 per cent. Various Items Due Today. This afternoon, therefore, the Senate will start out with consideration of a dozen or more other proposed economy recommendations, including the follow- ing: Suspension of annual leave for another year; application of salary re- ductions to enlisted personnel of the Army, Navy Marine Corps and Coast Guard; a proposed 10 per cent in pen- sions from the Veterans’ Administra- tion and from compensation payments under the War Risk Insurance and World War veterans acts, in all cases where the annual paymentis more than $1,000; re-enactment for another year of the “administrative furlough” clause, which permits departments to lay off employes for varying periods when necessary to keep within reduced ap- propriations; the conferring of new powers on the President to reorganize the Government service; a specific pro- posal to abolish the Bureau of Effici~ ency; transfer of jurisdiction over per- sonnel records of employes from the Civil Service Commission to the varioys executive departments, and a_number of smaller sections dealing with econo- mies in travel allowances and an an- nual review by Congress of sums made | available under permanent and indefi- nite appropriations.

One of the amendments to this morning grovides that substitute workers, or others, whose total com- pensation for a month does not ex- ceed $83.33 shall not be subject to the present furlough pay cut. Senator Bingham of Connecticut explained this would prevent a recurrence of the re- cent situation in which a group of un- employed who were hired by the Dis- trict to shovel snow had to take a pay cut, even though only a small total amount was due them for a few days’ work. The amendment also will bene- fit_substitute postal employes who work only a few days a month, The recommendation that existing pay cuts be applied to enlisted person- nel of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard also was reached this morning, but action was postponed until later in the day at the request of ?en-]:m- Johnson, Republican of Cali- ornia.
