His purpose, he said, “is not to negotiate or fix an agreement, but to discuss questions with which both of us are confronted.” Germany, Italy, Japan, China, Ar- gentina, Brasl, Chile, and Mexico have not been heard from officially, but it is known that nearly all of them greeted the invitation with enthusiasm. HERRIOT TO SAIL MONDAY, ered to, Any Former French Premier Advances De- parture Two Days. PARIS, April 11 (#).—Former Premier Edouard Herriot will sail for the United States next Monday, two Hays earlier than planned, in order to be able to join Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald in the conversations on world problems with President Roosevelt. ‘The steamship lle de France, which Herriot will take, was being redecorated, but its departure was advanced two days at the government’s request. ‘The man who bas been thrice premier of France, and still is the dominant figure in his party despite his overthrow on the debt issue, hopes the Washing- ton invitation to France will create sentiment in the Chamber of Deputies for payment of the defaulted install- ment.

An_official announcement last night said Dr. Dollfuss would visit Mussolini. There were rumors that he would talk with Capt. Hermann - Goering, Nazi member of the German cabinet, Whb is in Rome, concerning the establishment of an auxiliary police force in Austria similar to that instituted in Germany under Capt. Goering’s direction. Dr. Dollfuss is going to Rome for the same announced purpose that took the ‘other ‘German leader, Vice Chancellor Franz von Papen to that city. They both are Catholics and both ostensibly bent on attending Holy week services in Vatican City. Offsetting the possibility that the Austrian chancellor will discuss the rpe- {cial police matter with Capt. Goering is that there was no indication there would be room for Austrian Nazis in the force. The Heimwehr (Fascist) organi- zation was being prepared for the auxiliary police. ‘The Heimwehr generally has not been in sympathy with the Austrian Nazi movement for union of Austria and Ger- many and Dr. Dollfuss assumed dicta- torial powers when the Nazis became menacing immediately after the Hitler electoral victory in Germany. Both Germany and Austria, however, regard the auxiliary police as the only defensive measure permitted them under military restrictions set by the peace treaties. Pension Cuts Announced. The Dollfuss government has an- nounced drastic pension cuts. Instead of war veterans, however, those imme- diately affected are pensioned Federal railway employes. Henceforth, instead of 90 per cent of active pay, the basic pension rate will be only 78 per cent, and in no case will pensioners be permitted to receive more | than 100 per cent of active pay. Since the railways have 73,000 pen- | sloners and only 65,000 active employes, the reductions will'mean a considerable saving, Firemen Plan Benefit.

WILL NOT AID PROPAGANDA MOVE Will Carry French News With- out Any Bias, as Always, Says General Manager. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 11.—Kent Cooper, manager of the Associated Press, in commenting on reports from Paris that the French government has planned a propaganda campaign to reach the United States through the Havas News Agency and the Associated Press, stated that the Associated Press “is not en- gaged, never has been engaged and will not engage any propaganda ser- vice for any country.” Purposes of A. P. Pointing out that the purpose of the Associated Press is to cover news de- velopments impartially and without bias, Mr. Cooper added: “The report apparently was based upon a misapprehension of a liberali- rangements between the national news agencies with which the Associatea Press has been allied for 40 years. “This liberalization permits the Havas Agency, for example, to furnish news directly to American newspapers which want its service, independently of the Associated Press. Likewise it permits the Associated Press to serve American news directly to French newspapers which want its service independently of Havas, the great French news agency. The need of American news abroad presented directly to newspapers by the Associated Press has long been apparent. U. 8. Staft in Paris. “The Associated Press has now, has had for many years, and will continue to have its own American news staft in Paris, which is responsible to the Associated Press for covering news of France. “More than that, the Associated Press has never even been entreated by the Havas agency or any department of the French government to engage on its own account or Jjointly with Havas or any one else in the of Prench propaganda.” PLAN OF FRENCH. Government to Issue “True Light” for News Dissemination. PARIS, April 11 (#.—A comprehen- sive propaganda organization, aimed at | making France known in her “true light,” has been proposed by Deputy Adrien Dariac_in a report on the foreign affairs budget. “There is no question of organizing the distribution of misleading news,” Deputy Dariac says, “but to spread rapidly accurate news of government policy and events interesting the nation.” The deputy suggested-the spreading of propaganda through lectures, per- sonal contacts, articles sent to the newspapers, broadcasting, which al- ready has started; motion pictures and an active campaign against Germany designed to establish war guilt and treaty violations. A superior propaganda council, een- tralizing all activities and dispatching & corps of “missionaries” abroad, is provided for in the plan. Any attack against France would be answered promptly and French cit- izens and their friends abroad would be organized and informed to present the Prench views. 4 “The sole efficacious weapon against calumny is to spread abundant pre- cise information,” Deputy Dariac says. “Good meney drives out bad. pov- erty of our action abroad is danger- ously shown by the unjust attacks we suffer in the United States. during the war are shamefully min- » imized, if not ignored.
