LAFOLLETTE ASKS WAR VOTE RIGHT People Should Express Will as on Other Issues, He Says. By the Assoclated Press. CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 5.— The people should vote on war as they do on other governmental actions which affect their welfare, United Stales Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin thinks. La Follette, speaking here last night, I advocated a constitutional amendment ; making such a vote necessary for a declaration of war. “The people of this country have the right to say whether they'll be in- volved in war,” he said. The Senator said he was opposed to the sales tax “both in theory and practice.” He said a sales tax placed the heaviest tax on those with the least ability to pay. The Senator also advocated Govern- ment ownership of public utilities and of any necessary munition plants. “Orthodox business men, financiers, economists and politicians said they could cure this economic crisis by their own, old methods,” La Follette said. “For four years previous to March, 1933, they had the opportunity to do 0, and they brought us to the brink of economic disaster. “Society cannot endure on the basis of buying power concentrated in the hands of the few. We have solved the problem of mass production, and mass buying power is essential. We must 1ift the standard of living and increase buying power to keep step with our capacity to produce.” ADMIRAL HUSSEY’S FUNERAL TOMORROW Burial in Arlington Will Follow Rites in Home Here—Pall- bearers Named.

Photo, This Changing World Return of Saar to Reich Removes Dangers of European Conflagration. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The Franco-German agreement over details for the eventual transfer of the Saar Valley to Germany, after the January 13 prebiscite, removes one of the dangers of another Euro- pean conflagration. The agreements indicate clearly that, to what the feeling of the Saar population is, that rich district will | be returned to Germany at an early date. * % kX There is no doubt that the over- | whelming majority of the Saar popu- lation is German. But, according to observers who have recently returned from that region, there is a certain amount of doubt as to whether all this population wants to be returned to Germany under the present cir- cumstances, These observers say that quite an important proportion of the inhabit- ants would like to see a continuation of the present status of the Saar, under the League of Nations. Not that they don't feel strongly for the Fatherland; quite the contrary. But, the anti-Hitler propa- ganda has made strong inroads in the regardless as | ‘William W.

Purthermore, the taxes are at present less heavy than they will be under the German | administration. Not only will they have to bear a share of the burden of heavier tazation for the various social expenses for the Reich, but they will have to chip in for the in- creased erpenditure for Germany's national defense. And that is bound to increase substantially during the nezt few years. 1t is for these reasons that some of the people of the Saar would have liked to remain under the League's mandate during this transitory period when armaments are increasing. * x % X But neither the League of Nations nor France wanted to take a chance at having trouble with Germany be- cause of the Saar plebiscite. It was known all over Europe that Hitler was not bluffing when he said that the Saar must be returned to Germany and nobody doubted that the gov- ernment of the Reich was willing to go to the limit in order to get that province back. Hence, regardless of the feelings and the wishes of the population the Saar will become once more an integral part of Germany within the next few weeks. * % ok x The common interests of French and German steel industrialists have also helped considerably the settle- ment of this irksome problem. Two powerful French industrial groups were fighting each other to obtain complete control over the Saar coal mines, the steel manufacturers grouped under the name of the Comite des Forges and the Laurient-Dietrich companies. The latter group is affiliated in Germany with the Ehrart and Schmert of Berlin, while the former group is closely connected with the Roechling interests. It would appear from the arrange- | ment which was reached in Rome that | the Dietrich-Ehrart interests got the | upper hand and induced Flandin, the | Premier of France, and Hitler to accept a peaceful solution of the Saar | problem. Although the Germans have undertaken to pay the French some | $60,000,000 for the Saar mines, these mines will be worked by a Franco- German concern represented by the above mentioned groups. The war scare in Europe and elsewhere has given a serious blow to the pacifist societies. Even though a war may be averted in the immediate future, nations will no longer talk disarmament after the sad experience of the last five years. Lord Mottistone, a member of the House of Lords, expressed the thought recently in the Upper House that it was futile for the members to vote for peace, since everybody knew Great Britain’s dislike for war. But he and Lord Heilsham pointed out that a one-sided disarmament produced the worst results. They both denounced pacifist propaganda by stating that it had no moral quality whatsoever—"it merely embodies a craving for comfort on the part of the cheap. Peace,” they said, “can never be safe for a people that is not pre- pared to die for it.” Hitler’s nerves have been shattered by 12 years of continual fighting with- out rest. Since 1920, Der Fuehrer has been living on his nerves and his close associates say “his nerves have gone back on him.” Considering the amount | of trouble still facing the third Reich, | this state of Hitler's is not surprising. The dictator of Germany lives in the chancellor's palace in Berlin. In the room adjoining his sleeping | quarters his personal aide keeps guard every night. In a room beyond that a dozen hand-picked Storm troopers, heavily armed, are always on duty. The palace itself is heavily guarded and extraordinary precau- tions are taken to prevent any unau- thorized person from approaching the “All Highest.” Not so long ago Hitler was reckless in the face of danger. Now, sheltered behind bayonets, he knows what is going on in the country only by what Goering, Goebbels and Hess chose to tell him. * X K Kk Lloyd George, the war premier of England, has given up active politics for hog raising. He finds the latter occupation more congenial but, un- forunately, more costly, too. In order to make up his losses he wrote his war memoirs, which have proved the most lucrative thing he has ever done. So far no less than 100,000 copies, which are sold at $5 each, have been purchased in England and in America. This work is now being translated in 40 languages. Rus- sia has already paid $15,000 for the publishing rights. Big sums are ex- pected from the Argentine, Prance, Italy and Germany. The newspaper serial rights have been sold in Britain, the Dominions and America for $175,- 000. The war memoirs are likely to yield the former chief of the British Liberal party something like $500,000.

Du Pont Co., who was testifying joint- ly with his chief, Irenee du Pont, mu- nitions manufacturer, frankly con- ceded the munitions industry knew Germany was rearming. He said the company passed on its information to the American military and naval intelligence, but not to the State Department. Investigators previously said they had new evidence that American arms manufacturers brushed aside treaties and embargoes to ship their imple- ments of war into Germany and China. The rearming of the Reich, they added, was used as a lever to bring military appropriations in other Euro- pean countries. U. S. Arms Makers Accused. Back of this evidence were docu- ments which showed, investigators sald, that American manufacturers paid little heed to the American em- bargo on shipments of arms to China. They used these sales in turn, it was alleged, to sell more products to Japan. Vandenberg, in an opening state- ment today, suggested the rearming of Germany involved not only direct profits to the munitions industry, but indirect profits resulting from fear in other countries of a rearmed Germany. He said the committee had no desire to * impugn the motives” of foreign governments, but was merely seeking to establish the viewpoint of the mu- nitions makers. “The treaties after the war,” Van- denberg said, “declared that neither Germany, Austria, Hungary nor Bul- garia could import, export or manu- facture arms. “It must be generally admitted that this control has failed over a period | of years, and the peace-seeking world is face to face with the question whether any paper control can be made effective. Control Plain a Failure, “The whole allied world must now realize it has not been powerful enough | to make its control effective. “Forces, even more powerful than governments themselves, have had a stake in this outcome. We are hunting the possible identification of such forces.” In this connection he referred to Japan's plan to denounce the naval pact this month and said: “The majority spokesman of the House Naval Affairs Committee imme- diately announces we must match a shipbuilding program He said the committee was informed that British as well as American manu- facturers have sold military planes to Germany. Speaking of international fears “and war scares,” which, he said, follow atms building programs, Vandenberg added: “Country A speeds its armament to keep pace with country B. Then country C matches country B. Finally even the country U. S. A. joins its com- petition. In other words, the German program inevitably produces a pro- gressive world-wide armament ex- penditure and a corresponding arma- ment profit.” Seek Armsmakers’ Role. “We are concerned whether the in- terest and influence of munitions- makers—whether the profit motive— may be related in any degree with the failure to recognize what is alleged to have happened in the rearming of Germany and whether the munitions | industry is believed, rightly or wrongly, | to have had a dominating hand in the alleged breakdown of the Versailles treaty.” Vandenberg said it was inconceiv- able that, while it seemed to be gen- eral knowledge that the central pow- ers had rearmed, nothing was done | under the Versallles treaty to stop the movement. The committee produced a letter from William N. Taylor, du Pont’s | Paris agent, which reported that Tur- | key bought a large supply of ammuni- tion from Austria and Germany, with! delivery through Holland. Taylor said the United States, not being a party to these peace treaties, unfortunately could do nothing to check the movement. Du Pont challenged Vandenberg's suggestion that the letter showed Ger- many was rearming. He said the Senator was “putting words into the mouth” of Casey. European reports to the du Pont Co. said Nobel, Ltd., had such close relations with the general producers they would do nothing to invoke a British investigation of the matter. French Were Aroused. ‘This report, however, said French 2931 Luchs, Mr. 1ng to take the matter up with Nobel, | and said: “I do not know all the detalls of Nobel's arrangement with the Ham- burg Nobel Dynamite Co. I think it would be a great shame if our indus- trial relations with the German ex- plosives industry were of such a type that we would wink at their violation of the treaties or permit them to enter the military export business.” Vandenberg said the Taylor letter indicated Nobel was “winking” at the violation of the Versailles treaty. “Have you any quarrel with that interpretation?” he asked. “Not a bit,” Casey replied. Open Violation Seen. In reply to Taylor's letter, Casey replied: “There is no question but what the Germans are openly violating the treaty of Versailles. Casey added that “we believé Nobel could stop German concerns from en- tering the military powder business.” ‘The correspondence said the German powder interests felt their relations with Nobel were so good that obel would take no steps to stop them. Parley Stirs Building. Casey told the committee the Geneva arms control conference of 1925 caus- ed the building of about 300 new mu- nition supply plants in Europe alone because it was the first step toward | forcing countries to maintain their own munitions factories. Reading from a report to the du Pont Co. in March, 1933, Senator Vandenberg said: “France is full of rumors of war for which there is no substantial proof. They seem to be rather the result of [ contmuous alarmist campaign of the pres: “Isn't it true” Vandenberg asked, “that the Schneider munitions group has large interests in the French newspapers?” “I don’'t know,” Casey replied. “I do, however, know the French enjoy a crisis about once a week.” Crisis Stirs Buying. “And every time there is a crisis they buy some more munitions,” Senator Clark, Democrat, of Missouri, re- marked. Taylor, the Paris agent, reported on March 7, 1933, to the Du Pont Co. that disarmament efforts were hope- lessly bogged down, and all delegations were departing farther and farther from common sense. “It is certain,” he said, “that under present difficult conditions in Europe, both economical and financial, and the | fear of trouble, that no country will make the slightest sacrifice.” ‘Germany, Austria and Hungary are clearly violating the existing treaties covering the question of arms and | manufacture of arms, and a disarma- ment convention in face of such ob- | vious facts seems to appear an un- workable document.” The committee late vesterday had uncovered evidence designed to show a concerted effort by arms makers in America and abroad to thwart the Geneva Conference called in 1925 to restrict traffic in war materials. The evidence was that American manufacturers gathered at the call of Herbert Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce, to express their views on the proposed treaty. Letters from the | files of the companies indicated ef- | forts growing out of this conference | succeeded in modifying the pact, Chairman Nye read one of these {and commented that Mr. Hoover should be credited with a “put out” and the arms makers with an “assist.” Irenee du Pont said the du Pont Co. made “no attempt whatsoever to in- fluence the delegates to any interna- tional conference.” He said the arms | men at the Hoover meeting sought to | prevént “confusion of war munitions with commercial products. Du Pont and the other munitions witnesses contended throughout that their efforts to modify the Geneva treaty were to protect the manufac- | turers from undue restrictions on | “hunting weapons” and guns not usually associated with war uses. The meeting with Hoover and with some of the delegates was described in a memorandum drawn up by Maj. | Aiken Simons, a du Pont official. It said: “On the morning of April 14, the | Executive Committee of the manufac- | turers met and drew up their final re- | port which was presented at a meeting held that afternoon, presided over by | Mr. Hoover and attended by Admiral [ Long. Gen. Ruggles (delegates), Maj Strong. Mr. Dulles (also a delegate) and Mr. Marriner (a high official of the State Department), Mr. Dou- meratzky and Mr. Hoagland, both of the Department of Commerce, and the Executive Committee of Messrs. Beebe Simons, Nicholas Rierson and Harring- ton (all connected with the industry).” The memorandum quoted Hoover as telling the manufacturers that “due to the representations made by the War Department, the Navy Department and the Manufacturers’ Committee, the United States delegates would make reservations on the proposed draft which would render it harmless to American interests.” Again it said: “With the reservation made by the United States Government and the presence of Admiral Long, Comdr. Leary and Gen. Ruggles, all of whom are familiar with our point of view, SALE CLOSED! Another Chain Store Wanted Immediately ...

C, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1934 NEW STATE MOVE GAINING IN SPAIN Hundreds of Leaders Ready to Unite Behind “Na- tional Bloc.” Copyright. 1934, by the Associated Press. MADRID, December 5.—A summons for a “united front” of monarchists and rightists toward the establishment of a “corporative state” will be made within the next two days, it was dis- closed today. Leaders of the movement for the new state declared hundreds of rank- ing personalities in the political, in- tellectual and financial life of Spain, already have answered the call. A proclamation, which is to be dis- tributed throughout Spain, says the plan is based on the creation of a Spanish union for the defense of na- tional unity and the reconstruction of the state on new foundations devel- oped from old traditions wherever pos- sible. “National Bloc” Name, The name has been selected offi- cially as the “national bloc” and is regarded by some as the most power- ful front toward the change in the Spanish government since establish- | ment of the republic in 1931. Its organizers point out that nn-’ tional unity must be maintained at all | costs, which implies implacable oppo- | sition to an autonomous state such as ‘ Catalonia. The organization will strive to “protect Spain from the dan- gers of its present disorganization.” The new state would be composed of a centralized authority with the co- operation of the trade and labor gullds and professional organizations from the entire Nation. Single Executive Plan. Power would be invested “in a single executive assisted by a national council representing the major sectors of Spanish life.” The document, however, fails to state whether the | chief executive would be a king, un | elected leader or the Fascist type of | chieftain. ! The leaders asserted the executive | might be a king, but insisted the move- ment would have no Fascist features, being purely Spanish and unrelated to the Italian theory of government. | One of the most vital points in the proclamation is a section urging the | workers to join the movement under | a plan of co-operation with the gov- | ernment through their guilds. The originial plan eliminates the Parliament. displacing it by a net- work of guilds and regional councils | acting in an advisory capacity to the central council and the chief execu- tive, | it is believed that the interests of the du Pont company and our customers | will be properly looked after.” At the outset of the afternoon ses sion Irenee du Pont interrupted N to call attention to and deny a news- paper story (not carried by the Asso- ciated Press) which asserted that im- portant documents wanted by the | committee were missing from the files of the du Pont and other companies Du Pont stood erect, the paper in one hand. waving a pipe at the com- | mittee with the other, and in a voice | taut with indignation asserted: “If the committee has any idea that this is true in any particular I would like to disabuse it.
