THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, 10 AR B JUNE 4, 1933—PART ONE. T A2« HULL APPROVES FOREIGN LOANS Believes Lending by Strong Nations Would Be Step Toward Recovery. By the Associated Press. S. 5. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AT | SEA, June 3—Foreign loans by nations | with large resources were described as | an important potential contribution to world recovery by Secretary of State | Hull tonight as the American dele- gates to the London Economic Confer- ence found their sea legs and surveyed .the tasks ahead. * Chatting to & dozen news corre spondents in the ship’s writing room. | Mr. Hull, chief of the American group. spoke in answer to a question concern»{ ing the possibility of resumption of | private lending abroad by the United | States. | Sound loans by strong nations would | be helpful, Secretary Hull said. He | emphasized the adjective “sound” and added that he thought the securities| I | Didn’t Dine on Bread and Milk publicity bill would contribute largely to the safety of all loans, foreign and | domestic. Cites Undue Prejudice. ' Some undue prejudice has been | aroused against loreign lendings be- cause of losses, the Secretary said. He | observed that of $17,000,000,000 of pii- | vate investments abroad, the losses and | ;jk;rlnkwe have been around nine bil- | ns. i | This fact, Mr. Hull went on, has nat- urally been exploited to the detriment of foreign loans, but he pointed out there has been a clear loss of fifty bil- lion dollars on domestic issues The chief of the delegation again em- phasized his belief that the main issue at the London parley will be whether the nations are to abandon economic nationalism, marked by high tariffs and exchange restrictions. Sees United Staics Resolution. Political observers aboard ship believe the United States will offer a resolution on this subject or get another country to do so. Secretary Hull asserted that several nations were forced off the gold stand- ard by the decline in foreign trade which compelled them to scrape up all available gold and send it to the United States in payment on their unfavorable balances. The best way to redistribute gold equitably, the head of the State De- partment said, is to restore normal in- ternational commerce. The delegates conferred together again today, but Mr. Hull said no at- tempt would be made to arrive at de- cisions until the assembling of the com- plete American delegation at London. The Secretary has not yet been ad- vised whether the London program calls for him to make a speech. e GOLD REPEAL ACT PASSED BY SENATE IN STORMY DEBATE (Continued Prom Pirst Page.) former Treasury Secretary, said, “it's repudiation.” Benator Barkley, Democrat, of Ken- tucky contended “the welfare of 120,- 000,000 people is supreme over any group in the number.” Another former Democratic Secre- tary of the Treasury, McAdoo, Demo- crat, of California, agreed with Bark- ley’s statement that the gold clause was nothing more than a “legal fiction.” Chairman Fletcher of the Banking Committee opened the debate with an appeal for swift action in view of pro- spective Treasury financing, and said it would not cost any one anything. He opposed elimination of the retro- active provisions, saying this would “destroy the whole act.” “But it wouldn't destroy the credit of the government,” Senator Vanden- berg, Republican, of Michigan, retorted. Reed Leads Attack. Reed led the Republican attack with the statement the resolution would make 2 “scrap of paper” of the Government’s “saered promise” to pay in gold which he said had been made as recently as six weeks ago. “The honor of the United States is mbout to sustain a stain that we will not be able to erase for 100 years,” he added, and referred to America’s criti- cism of France, when she defaulted the debt payment last December. ‘The final vote found 4 Republicans, 43 Democrats and the lone P‘lrmer-] Laborite, Shipstead of Minnesota, sup- porting the resolution and two Demo- crats joining 18 Republicans in opposi- tion.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 3.—An order of the Interstate Commerce Commis- | sion invalidating lowered intrastate coal freight rates set by the Ohio Utilities | | Commission was suspended today by & three-judge Federal Court pending final decision. United States Circuit Judge Smith | Hickenlooper emphasized, however, that | the court “was making no finding.” | explaining that its order merely gave | the court time to reach a decision |~ The hearing was on a petition filed by the Ohio commission and attorneys for the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad It contended Ohio coal operators were discriminated against by the recent L C.

Stanley Payne, chief assistant counsel for the body. said he was “not con- | cerned with’ the reasonableness per se of the intrastate rate” but that the | reasonableness of the rate in relation | to interstate rates was the deciding factor. Ernest Ballard of Chicago, counsel for the W. & L. E., told the court, which included District Judges Benson W. Hough and R. R. Nevin as well as | Judge Hickenlooper, that income from intrastate shipment of coal in Ohio would be “wiped out” if the I. C.

H. Rand, jr., of New York. Suggested Changes. Modifications suggested—some of which have been approved by the Sen- ate Pinance Committee in conflict with the measure as passed by the House— included: Permissive authority for the President to curb imports to balance the in- creased cost of domestic production from higher wages; elimination of the authorization for licensing industry if changes in the labor provisions 0 make it clear that there is neither the intention nor the power to reorganize present mutually satisfactory employ- ment relations, nor to establish any rule which will deny the right of employers and employes to bargain individually or collectively” through a board instea of an administrator; purchase of Amer- ican made products under the public works section, and a manufacturers’ sales tax instead of the present levies. Johnson told the manufacturers or- ganized labor would not be permitted under the act to “organize unduly,” but as the group broke into applause he added that on the other hand labor would be given every possible protection. Held Necessary as Club. He pointed out that power similar to he licensing section was held by the ar Industries Board and used but twice, forecasting that he could *“count on the fingers of his two hands” the number of times that it would be used during the two-year period. He said, however, the stringent licensing clause was necessary “as a club behind the door” to keep recalcitrants in line. The manufacturers, in speeches be- hind closed doors of their meeting. con- tended the licensing would amount to | confiscation of property if improperly used and would permit virtual ‘“com- mercial exile” of individual plants at the discretion of the administrator. ““This is & greater power than is held by Stalin of Russia or by any other human being,” one speaker asserted. While the general attitude was op- posed to the licensing clause, some members of the association favored it, including representatives of the watch- making and furniture manufacturing industries. Pledge Co-operation. The board of directors of the asso- ciation at a meeting last night adopted a resolution pledging the “sympathetic co-operation” of the association to President Roosevelt in his efforts to- ward “rehabilitaticn of the economic and social order.” The resolution added, however, that | the association felt it was a matter of duty “to point out defects which would make such legislation unwork- able in advance of its enactment.” The resoluticn fcllows in full “The directors of the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers pledge to the President of the United States the confidence of the association and its sympathetic co-operation as he under- takes plans and policies for the re- hailitation of the economic and social | order. “The meeting of the association Sat- urday was not held for the purpose of destructive eriticism of the indus- trial recovery act; and it was not held | tor the ‘purpose of placing limitations upon the rights of organized labor or unorganized labor; it was not held for the purpose of securing selffish legis- lation of any character for industry.

I immediately called up the director of budget and d |asked him to put one of their good men on the matter and investigate the truth or falsity of the man’s state- ments and make a recommendation. “Mr. Douglas agreed with me that was the way to handle it and sent a Mr. Lowery of his office over to me. I turned the man over to Mr. Lowery, with instructions to go into the mat- ter thoroughly. because on the face of it it seemed almost impossible that the man’s statements could be correct.” Lowery told the committee he had been called to Howe's office and had found Be Vier there with a sample kit and articles issued by the Army, which seemed “inferior” to those offered by Be Vier. Relies on Information. ‘That afternoon, he said, he prepared & letter for Howe giving Fechner au- thority to order the kits.

He replied on May 15 and Fechner ' was recalled to repeat as Be Vier listened, | his testimony of Friday that he met Be Vier the first week in May and “turned him over to McEntee.” The Kkits were offered to officials of the Quartermaster Corps, Be Vier said, ing enrolled would make it impossible to_supply them.

REPEAL VOTE FAILS 10 STIR INDIANA Indifference on Eve of Elec- tion Disconcerting to Wet and Dry Leaders. By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, June 3.—Indiana voters today seemed steadfastly indif- ferent toward the special election to be held Tuesday which will decide the State’s stand on the. question of re- | pealing the eighteenth amendment. The apparent apathy of the voters was disconcerting to both wet and dry organization workers but they hoped in the days remaining before the elec- tion to arouse a laggard interest. At the election Tuesday 329 delegates will be elected to the convention to be held June 26 at which a formal vote will be cast either for or against rati- fication of the twenty-first amendment, which would repeal the eighteenth amendment. The dry forces have concentrated on Indiana, Bishop James Cannon, jr., one of their most militant leaders, having described this State as the “real battle- a kit, assuring me that if the kit was| cheaper they would take the kit. | Resolved to Sce Howe. | “Upon returning to my hotel, in re- sponse to a telephone message, talked to the quartermaster general on the telephone, who informed me that | he had just received word that the re- | cruiting of men for the Conservation Corps was to be speeded up and that all merchandise for issue to the Con- servation Corps must be on hand by June 7, and that in his opinion it would be impossible to advertise bids, get the merchandise on hand and pack and deliver 200,000 kits before June |7, 1933. This telephone conversation was on May 13. “After Gen. Dewitt had rejected the | kit on the grounds above stated, I| determined to attempt to obtain an interview with Col. Howe, in order to| find out without further delay whether I could present the merits of the kit | and our ability to deliver the kits in |time to some other official who had power to order them. “On May 15 Col. Howe saw me. I learned that Mr. Fechner had this power. The facts and figures in the matter were investigated by the office of the director of the budget and pre- sented to Mr. Fechner, who appeared to be already familiar with the matter, and_thereafter a contract was made jon May 15, 1933, for the delivery of 200,000 assembled kits by June 7, 1933. “Throughout the negotiations I was and still am certain of the need of the Civillan Conservation Corps for items of the quality contained in this | kit and of a container such as this kit | to hold and preserve them and I know | that the contract price of these kits could not have been bettered in the | open market at the time the contract | was made.” ! Questioned Closely. Senator Logan (Democrat) of Ken- | tucky, who told Be Vier his testimony was “very unsatisfactory,” questioned | him closely. “What led you to believe that Col | Howe would have anything to do with 1t?” Loj asked. |,. 1 didn't believe he would have any- | thing to do with it.
