STAR EDITIONS G0 T0 FAR COUNTRIES Thousands of Subscriptions for Inaugural Issues Keep Office Busy. Long after the events of yesterday have taken their place in the long chronicle of the Nation's history the contemporary record of them published ;:m'rhe Star, will be preserved and This, in any case, is indicated by the thousands of persons who, durin the past week, subscribed for issues o March 3, 4 and 5. These patrons told clerks at the sub- scription counter in the lobby of The Star Building that they wanted the paper “to keep.” They also said they wanted it for kinsfclk and friends in other sections of the country and abrozd. Sent to Far Places. A glance at a file of filled-in order forms showed the names of the follow- ing among the addresses to which copies had been sent: Alaska, Cuba, Germany, France, Belgium, England, Scotland., Ireland, Holland, Switzer- Jand, Poland, India, South Africa, Australia, China, Japan, Turkey, Ecua- dor, Peru. Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Ber- muda, Spzin, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Czechoslovakia, Rumania and New Zealand. Many were 2ddressed to schools, col- Jeges, universities and libraries. Many also went to hospitals. Every class and | all professions were represented in the Tist. Teachers spoke especlally of the educational value of the mazazine and rotogravure features which, taken to- gether, constituted a veritable encyclo- dia of data on inaugurations from Washington’s to Roosevelt's. Extra Clerks on Duty. One visitor, an elderly woman from Chicago, said she wished coples sent to her grandchildren “so they may Tead about it when they are older.” A member of Congress declared he de- sired copies because “they are a his- tory of my term.” A small boy sub- scribed for his teacher “back home.” ‘The lobby was crowded all through the week, and extra clerks had to be brought in to help with tae work. An augmented staff also was needed in the mailing room to insure immediate despatch of the papers. Guy V. Collins of The Star business office, said “There has been more pub- Jic interest in inauguration news this year than at any similar time in my Tecollection.” FLOODED BY TAX MONEY Chicago Official Kept Busy Taking Care of Receipts. CHICAGO (#).—So much money has been flowing into the Cook County treasurer’s office from taxpayers that officials had to devise an usher system such as they use in cinema palaces. At the end of yesterday's business officials estimated they hed taken in about $2,000,000. “In spite of unemployment,” said George Hogenauer, auditor for the treasurer, “people have found money to save their homes from tax sales.” P Prance’s National Superior School of Aeronautics, in Paris, which was opened by the President of Prance recently, had 889 applications for the 50 openings for students, THE ATHER District of Columbia—Fair today and tomoérrow, slowly rising temperature to- morrow; gentle to moderate northwest and north winds, shifting to easterly by tcmorrow.

Against Depression Following is editorial comment by newspapers in various parts of the country on President Roosevelt'’s in- augural address: Omaha World Herald: “We are en- listed in a war, we Americans. It is'a real war; a war for the preservation of ourselves, of our country, of our chil- dren’s heritage. The call of the Presi- dent of the Nation summons us to his ald—summons the humblest and weak- est as well as the most powerful. It is a war that under his fearless leader- ship must be fought by all, for it is fought for all alike.” Philadelphia Ledger: “President Roosevelt’s inaugural address struck exactly the note of -militant national leadership which the ‘country’ needs in | these troublous times. While evincing | throughout a full realization of the | gravity of the situation, it is distinctly reassuring because of its pledges of | immediate, vigorous measures for deal- | ing with the depression. If there was any doubt that the new President was prepared to exercise to the utmost the extensive powers of his office and even to seek additional grant of authority, if need be, it has been dissipated by his ringing declaration of purpose. “President Roosevelt is pledged to do his part. If the American people do theirs, the dawning of a new and| brighter day may not be long delayed.” | Buffalo Courier Express (indepen- | dent): “This demand (Roosevelt's) for action will meet with earnest approval from the people. It is the one thing they demand; it is the one thing they need. Its lack is the chief thing from which they are now suffering. “All the leaders in Washington, big and little, if they are wise, will join Mr. Roosevelt in achieving it. There can be forward movement only when there is unity of mind as well as unity of purpose. “Much that is heartening will be found in Mr. Roosevelt’s brief consideration of ethical values and their application to phases of business conduct, revelation of which has recently so definitely shocked the country. Some may won- der, though, whether ‘the money changers’ have really ‘fled from their high seats in the temple of our civiliza- | tion’ and whether there will not be need of constant guard against their return.” Des Moines Register: “Something already has been done toward rebuild- ing the world’s economic foundations, bringing people to a comprehension of what yet must be done. “Tod> much emphasis cannot be put | upon that last necessity. The history | of the depression, like the history of the World War, has been that of an original unwillir gness, amounting to a phobia, to consic>r doing enything that aflected fundamentals. The breaking point came, it may well be recorded by the historians, when the nations of Europe at Lausanne first accepted a great reality and adjusted their policies | to it. That our own domestic public has come to recognize the need of acquiescing in other difficult things— such as adjustment of debts by orderly and fair means, and adjustment of cap- ital values—is clear today and is prom- ising. “For the present it is the rallying of the country to renewal of a courageous and sustained war on the depression t_counts. “To that end the hopes and support of everybody go to the President of the United States.” Baltimore Sun: “It is the mood, the gural address that counts, and the spirit is good. It is fine. A country of bound- less ntatural resources, of matchless equipment and of industrious and capable people lies prostrate. “No need now for extensive elabora- tion of the causes of this incredible disaster. The unthinkable, the unbe- lievable, has occurred. And facing that collapse of the people’s own system of production and distribution, and of the financial system that serves production and distribution, Mr. Roosevelt says the people’s government under his leader- measures bold in proportion to the calamity. He gives no details in this December. .. 332 756 Weather in Various Cities. ~Temperature.— Precipi= Max.

What could be expected and asked was President with a mind untrammeled by fear or slavish obedience to old forms and old conventions, .and with a will, to act. Such a President is revealed in this address.” Denver Post: “The new deal has been started but th> American peaple don't know yet. whether the cards which are being dealt them are aces or dcuczes. and the banke's won't sell them any chips. stance ‘n this chaotic situation is the revelaion that the new deal is deter- mined to run the game cn an entirzly different basis than has been used in the past. “The whole Nation chould be heart- ened by his pledge to demand dicta- torial powers unless Congress functions. Clothing him with these powers at the very beginning would save much time.” Memphis Commercial Appeal: “If the boldness and courage of President Rocsevelt's inaugural address is to be taken as a chart to be followed by the new administration the hone of millions of Americzns wi'l find realization in re- coverv and stability. It is a new dec- laration of indepzndence to business serving notice to all that new ideals and new systems must prevail. This is meit™ r a challenge nor a warning to buciness leadership; it is an ultimatum and cne thet is needcd to banish fear ani restore confidence.” Houston Post: “Mr. Rocsevelt’s inau- gural address will certainlv be rated as one of the most extraordinary in our history, for its forthrightness, courage and facing of realitics. It should go far to restore the confidence of the Amer- ican people in Government and leader- ship.

If his inaugural | address is interpreted correctly, this will be along the lines of sound Amer- | icanism, * * * it was an invitation to the Nation to hope great things of the new administration.” Albany-Knickerbocker Press: “The | only thing we have to fear,” said Presi- dent Roosevelt in his profoundly mov- ing inaugural address, “is fear itself.” In this time of reassessment of live val- ues, when familiar standards of “eas- ier days” are swept away, the funda- mental truth is thus incisely expressed, and with {lluminating clarity, obviously | the public's share today, and for the weeks and months ahead—is to destroy | fear, and in the doing orient our strength for a richer and more abun- dant life. Galveston News: “President Roose- velt's speech is an inspiring preamble to the message he will submit to the special session of Congress. It will give the Nation courage and steadiness to await unfoldment of the new deal.

H Mr. Roosevelt is tall and of robust | physique, showing in casual contacts little trace of the physical troubles that overtook him in 192i. Even tempered, rarely ruffled, he smiles easily and often, laughs heartily, but, in his own words, | can be very stubborn when he gets his “Dutch up.” Those who know him well say they have seen him actively engage in the consideration of as many as three different subjects at once.

The | spirlt of courage and confiderce with | which he addresses his prodigious task | is in itself impressive, and particularly | £0 at a time when it is just that spirit | which is most needed by the country. | It is worth much in these circum- | stances to have a leader who believes he knows what ought to be done and who has the will to do it. But there | is more than this in his inaugural, he | indicates plainly enough to be read | that he intends to apply his powers to | the restoration of our economic equi- librium, and it can be discerned that | his fundamental purposes are sound. The welfare of the Naticn is now large- | ly in the hands of President Roosevelt. | We expect confidently that he will jus- | tify a full trust in the quality of his‘ lesdership.” Chicago Tribune: “President Roose- velt’s inaugural strikes a dominant note of courageous confidence. Not shirking ‘the dark realities of the moment,’ the President emphasizes the underlying realities—‘our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conguered becouse they believed and wer: not afraid we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied.” “Cnl:mned in a brief message to the larger outlines of the problem before us and to general indications of practical policies snd measures, the President’s address is not to be taken as an ex- plicit ogram. For discussion its practical suggestions must await more definite pr Is of action. “President Roosevelt speaks with & confidence which is justified by the will of the Nation. He has for his practical support s majority in both Houses of Congress, and of & party fresh from political victory, and we trust mdymto follow strong and triotic leadership.” pflboflhvllle Courier-Journal: “It is an innovation—a welcome innovation—de- parting from the usual verbose style of cuch efforts, and presenting compactly the principal points of the prcgram he proposes to put through. “This is the prescription of Franklin Rdosevelt. He will adminster it by giv- ing the people work, recruiting them to it as in war. He will ‘adhere to the ncrmal balance of executive and legi- quate in the crisis, but he will not fear to depart from it to save the republic. “They are words that give us heart.

LOS ANGELES, March 4.—Police today arrested Raymond Haas, 29-year- old former assistant cashier of Ford, Bacon & Davis, nationally known en- gineering firm of New York City, on a fugitive warrant-charging him with the theft of $135,000 in cash from the firm’s accounts. Haas, the officers said, was working as a soda clerk in Hollywood, where he was arrested, at a salary of $18 a week. They said their prisoner admitted the defalcations and told them he had lost the money, 2 part of which constituted member of the firm, in “playing the stock market.” Detectives said Haas told them he began the defalcations in 1930 and contmugdfi tl;l:n w‘xl:mrm discharge las| August 15, g forged checks an entering the transactions in his books as purchases made for members of the families of the corporation officials.

PRESIDENT HAILED BY CUBANS Insular Press Points to World Hopes That Recovery Can Be Started. By the Associated Press. HAVANA, Cuba, March 4—The Cu- ban prees today hailed with enthusiasm Franklin D. Roosevelt's inauguration as President of ihe United States. Fl Mundo said Mr. Roosevelt arrives at the presidency “with the economic outlook grave, in the presence of great social ferment,” and urged him to “mrintain serenity of spirit.” Cuba is “in the orbit of his influence,” El Mundo added. “* * * Cubans, more interested than any others by reason of the geographical and commercial po- sition of both nations, will follow closely the trend of his Government.” Diario de la Marina said: “The en- tire world has hopeful, expectant eyes on his person, sympathetic, intelligent and modest. His ascent to power sup- poszs, for the universe, solution of all its economic problems. May God light up the path of this worthy man so that ~the world may admire another page in the civilization of our America.” El Pais asserted: “In hours perhaps the most difficult of the United States’ history, * * * Mr. Roosevelt is received in a wave of optimism.
