By the Associated Press. Gold hoarders have about $1,000,- 000,000 in metal and gold certificates, and President .Roosevelt wants this turned back to the banks by May 1 or the Government will take aétion. His executive order, which placed the National gold supply under a license system to carry out legitimate trade needs, directs those holding more than $100 in gold or gold certificates to give it up promptly. If they don't, they face a penalty of 8 $10,000 fing or 10 years in prison, or both. r At the Treasury, since the National bank holiday was proclaimed there had been no demand for gold, but the amount still tucked away by hearders was unduly large. On Mr. Roosevelt’s behalf, it was said that the chief purpose of his action was to restore to the Nation's reserves all the gold that remains hidden. The President’s order authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue li- censes for obtaining gold for industrial requirements, exportation for trade and other legitimate needs. The unlicens gold must come in before May 1. Step Deelared Proper. Secretary Woodin said in a state- fuent last night: ! “The President's order requiring the turning in of hoarded gold, and at the same time providing that gold shall be available for all proper purposes, is an expected’ step in the process of regularizing our monetary position and furnishing adequate banking and cur- rency facilities for all customary needs. “Such an order was in contemplation from the time of the passage of the ¢mergency banking act. As the Presi- ent indicated teday, while many of ur citizens vqluntarily and helpfully turned in thefr gold there were others ho did not so- respond. | "“In fairness, the eonduct of all cciti- ens with reference to gold should be ithe same in this emergency, and this is -assured by the order.

BERLIN, April G.f—Chancellhr,’Adnlr Hitler pointed to the United 'States’ exclusion act against the yellow [race as a precedent in explaining tcday his purpose in removing Jewish inte llectuals from medical, legal, artistic and scien- tific positions in Germany. “The American people were the first quences from the inequality in jthe dif- ference of races,” he said. ““Through immigration laws it barred -andesira- bles from other races. Nor is America ready now to open its doors, to Je | (fleeing) from Germany.” Denies Harm Done. To this reference to ¢migrating Jews, Hitler added the usual ,Nazi assertion that no physical harm whatever w done them. He also expressed the .opinion that the United States, which before other | modern countries became @an expotent of a strong movement against foreizn elements, has the least cechision to at- tempt te counteract Germiny’s efforts to purge herself of foreigrt elements. Hitler’s remarks were ocpasioned his visit to the new Jew-frpe executive beard of the German Med kal Feder: tion. “Deo Justice to Germ.anv.” “By purging cultural and intellectual life from a preponderance of Jewish in- tellectuals, we do justice to|Germany's natural right to its own spirtiual leader- ship,” the chancellor said. *‘The great- est achievements of inteFectual life never have been made by members of other races, but by the aryan German spiritual forces.” Hitler further said that (the area in which German intellectualsycould move was necessarily limited, and {that there- fore pure aryans had a nhtural and moral right to be preferred. To admit toco many- foreigners, meaning Jewish elements, he continued, would consti- tute an admission that other races are superior intellectually. “This idea must be rejecteld with all emphasis,” he declared.

The crowd, which police; said was the largest—18,000—Communiist gather- g in recent months, cheewed lustily. Most of those present paid 10 or 25 cents admission. Baldwin, described German fascism as a confession of weakness in the capi- talistic system and declared it'was “the system’s last stand.” After the singing of “The Interna- | tionale,” Clarence Hathaway, a Dis- triet organizer. opened the meeting by declaring Jewish persecution in Ger- many was merely & means of furtherir a fight against “the working masses, which can only be stopped, he said, when Paseism is destroyed.

They have called in the bandits in a last desperate at- tempt to stem the rising tide of the !

The Italian Ambassador, Augusto Rosso, called this morning at the State Department and discussed with Secre- tary af State Cordeil Hull the interna- tianal situation from the angle of the international Economic Conference. Hitherto the Italian Ambassador has kept out of the negotiations which have been carried on batween the Secretary of State and the other European na- tions, mainly Great Britais. Now that these tions seem to have reached a point which justifies the coming to the United States of Ramsay MacDonaid, the sending of a mission of French financizl and eco- nomic experts, the opening of conver- sations with the Germans soon after the amival of the new Ambassador | Herr Luther, the Italian government is: Teady to open up discussians which are necessary to bring Italy in the impor- tant international game which is going {to be played in Washington in the | course of this month. | The position of Ttaly is somewhat different from the position of the other | nations. |, Italy is a debtor country, but Italy has paid the December debts installmeng and has done so without any restric= tions. It is only natural that the Italian) government should desire to obtain a reduction of war debts, if the other countries obtain such reductions, but Mussolini is mostly interesied in an economic or financial concessions whieh might from this Europe Closely Waiching. In the meantime Europe is watching with growing interest the coming Wash- ington conversations between Ramsay MacDonald and President Roosevelt. MacDonald has been extremely anx- jous to come to the United States ever since President Roosevelt took office. He still remembers the results of the conversations with President Hoover and realimes how close these conversations were to important change In the general Buro- pean situation. "-THis did not happen because some mistakes were made and the British premier hopes that they will not be repeated. But Ramsay MacDonald's eagerness to visit President Roosevelt is due to a more important reason. In his recent advemtsres in Burope, the British premier discovered how much it was taken for granted he had American ternational field to tion in Great Bril Brit premier has not longer a party, conse- quently his policies are not al upheld by the British Parliament they meet with the full approval of the con- servative cabinet.

The George Washington Uni- versity Band marched with the cadets. final division. Col. J. Kenyon, commanding the escort of the Military Order of the World War and the Wash- Gas Light Band, headed this division of war veterans, many of whom were disabled in the conflict which today's parade commenorated. The massed colors of these veterans and patriotic units followed Col. Kenyon. ‘War Herces In Line. were the members of the Army and Navy Legion of Valor, perhaps one of the most exclusive military organiza- tions in the country. It is of Medal of Honor men and those awarded the Distinguished Cross for valor in the World War. Members of the group included vet- erans of mels(;:"gm;". Indhwn m‘mi- paign, Spanish- ican ar various expeditions since then, as well as the World War, Besides the varlous posts of the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans of the World War, Veterans of Foreign Wars, with their command- ing officers, staffs and bands, were numerous women's auxiliaries and patriotic societies. These included Ladies of the Grand Army of the Re- public, Daughters of the Confederacy, Gold Star Mothers, Women's Overseas Service League, United States Daugh- ters of 1812, Daughters of Union Vet- erans, Daughters of the American Revolution. Children of the Amexican Revolution. Job’s Daughters. the Dsngh- ters of the Defenders of the Republic and others.

No Promiise Given. there has been no promise of y kind given to the Britich premier, it he hapes that his persuasive powers will conwince the Am Govern- ment to look at the whole situation frcm a different angle .than the present one. The British as well as the American Government feel that the general con- versations exchanged during the last | few weeks have reached the point when it is necessary to have some final talks wign men who have the chief responsi- ‘hu‘my"r;l conducting the affairs of their It'is for this reason that MacDonald's visit is likely to be shortly succeeded by the visit of some prominent French political man. Although for the time being the French government maintains that the presence in Washingtan of the new Ambassador, M. de La Boulaye, is sufficient, it is believed in well infarmed qQ that after MacDonald leaves Washington France will send here the man who will appeal mostly to the American people, Edouard Herriot. No final decision has been taken yet on this matter for two reasons: the Da- Iadier administration is not lkely to re- main in office long and it will be in- cumbent upon the new government to 'n_up important negotiations with the United States, and it depends on results of the MacDonald-Roosevelt conversations whether France should send one of its political leaders to Wash- ington. If the conversations between the President and the British Premier are fruitful, and this is still an’ open Prance can hope to reach an agreement similar to the British with this country. If the Roosevelt-Mac- Donald conversations yield no other re- sults than the usual official communique, like the one issued at the end of the Hoover-Laval talks, it would be useless for France to send any political star to JWashington, BAND CONCERT.
