~ VENTZOFF ASSALS PROFTS N ARMS Russian Delegate Proposes Drastic Changes in American Draft. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, February 22.—The Rus- sian delegate to the World Disarma- ment Conference, M. Ventzoff, as- serted today that private arms fac- tories were the only enterprises real- {zing a profit during the economic de- pression. The Soviet representative made this observation as he proposed a drastic change in the American draft arms convention to place the same restric- tions upon private as upon state man- ufacture of armaments. “The war industry,” Ventzoff said, %5 the only industry which despite the world economic crisis continues to provide owners and shareholders ever-growing profits and dividends.” Information Desired. He argued that not only should private factories be controlled but that their “potential of production” should be known. “We must know what is | going on behind closed doors,” he | said ! Ventzoff said that if the war scourge| §s to be dealt a mortal blow the| world must know everything about | war industries—czpital ~ investments, { new equipment, increase in workmen and maximum possible output. The American draft provides that the signatory powers shall forward to & permanent disarmament commission & list of state establishments with & description of the implements of war each is capable of manufacturing. Ventzoff moved that the words “and private establishments” be inserted in the draft submitted by the United States delegate. Hugh Wilson, the United States rep- resentative, defended the American draft as a good middle road attempt to meet a situation which must be reme- died. Ground for Distrust. “The question of traffic in arms,” the American said, “furnishes more ground for distrust than any one problem. Provisions dealing with the traffic must be precise and must especially handle implements known as weapons of aggression.” ‘William Borberg, Denmark’s dele- gate, created a sensation with an allusion to the “let’s simplify” slogan of Lord Stanhope, British represent- ative. “It seems to me” Borberg said ) dryly, “this might be taken to mean “let’s nullify.’” Lord Stanhope, who commanded the British Horseguards during the World War, refused to be beaten down, however. He countered with: “His majesty's government's proposals do not imply nullification; what they do imply is that we want to get a convention which the nations will sign. Our gravest danger is an elab- orate treaty which will fall by the wayside as has happened in the past.” ——— SACHA GUITRY WEDS Noted French Actor Marries Lead- ing Lady Half His Age.

HE fever chart of Europe has jumped suddenly, showing an alarming temperature. ‘The doctors called in consul- tation—Laval, Simon, Musso- lini and Litvinoff—are shaking their heads and wondering what to do next. To relieve the patient they have prescribed palliatives such as the Western air Locarno, but they realize that it can not help much; the patient has been lingering with malig- nant fever for too many years to answer to such temporary treatments. They have all diagnosed the malady correctly—jingoistic nationalism, com- plicated by collective jitters—but they have failed to find the necessary cure. * kX The air Locarno, which is combined with a Western security guarantee, will share the fate of the pacts and trea- ties concluded or proposed since the end of the World War. It will go the way of the other peace agreements— to the scrap heap. Commissar Litvinoff has expressed some common sense thoughts again, to the great dismay of the would-be foxy British Secretary of State, Sir John Simon. 3 e The British government is anxious to have peace assured in the West and does not care much what happens in Eastern Europe. Hence, the proposal contained in the Franco-British agree- ment that a pact shall be concluded only between Germany, France and Great Britain, and only as a polite gesture towards Mussolini, Italy was also to be included. Comrade Litvinoff came back yes- terday with a note to Great Britain and France, pointing out that peace can not be maintained only by guar- anteeing it in the West, and that if the East was ablaze, no power in the world could prevent a general con- flagration. P At the same time he rendered futile Hitler's attempt to drive a wedge between the British and the French by proposing independent discussions between the three interested powers. Hitler is in favor of an air security Juarantee—which interests Great Brit- ain more than anything else—but does not want to give any security guaran- tees regarding Austria’s so-called independence. He knows that the British are only faintly interested in the Danubian re- public. He hoped to reach a separate agreement with the B! h; then an- other, on the same basis, with the French —the basis being “leave Austria to its own devises.” Litvinoff’s note puts an end to that. Much as the British desired to cir- cumvent their responsibilities to the Rhine, they have to accept now the doctrine that a war on the Vistula or on the Danube is bound to spread to the Rhipe. * % Kk % Tovarish Litvinoff (now called His Excellency the Soviet Commissar for Foreign Affairs) is the most dynamic of the trio, Simon, Laval, Mussolini. He has had good apprenticeship in his young revolutionary days and knows that two bombs are better than one. Simultaneously with the sending of the note to London, he also got Izves- tia—the official government news- paper—to write a substantial story about the German-Japanese-Polish agreement to attack Russia at the same time. * K K The Soviets are not the only coun- try to believe in the existence of such a triple agreement. In fact, the Jap- anese make no bones about it. Last January, the Polish army had some important military exercises. A high ranking Japanese officer at- tended thgm. At the end of these maneuvers there was the customary banquet. The Japanese military ob- server got up and thanked the Polish general for the courteous reception, congratulated the Polish army for its fine qualities and especially lated the Polish general staff “for having chosen such an interesting ngratu- maneuver which corresponded so faithfully with the terms of the Polish-Japanese defensive military * X ¥ ¥ A few days later & high German official made a speech—for home con- sumption—saying that there may be no need for a “joyful war against France, since within less than 18 months there will be a war between Russia and Japan and the German troops will re-occupy the Baltic ports while the Poles will take Ukraine.” Such statements may be meant only for home consumption, but their ef- fect is to increase the existing tension. * K ok X This restlessness is spreading like ED: | wildfire throughout Central Europe. The inhabitants of the Italian Tyrol, who, in spite of exceedingly energetic administration of the Italian , government are still thinking that they are Germans, have begun to defy the Italian authorities for the first time in 15 years. Huge bonfires representing the Nazi emblem, the Swastika, are being built almost every night on the top of the mountains in the Italian Tyrol, while the population begins again to talk German in the presence of Italian officials. —_—— WOMAN FACING CHAIR Husband Slayer Is First of Sex 8o to Die in Illinois.

T, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1935. - =z A—3 [WAGE AMENDMENTI FIGAT IN HOUSE Roosevelt Leaders Expect to Recoup Senate De- feat by Labor. (Continued Prom First Page.) Senate just before the roll call fol- lows: “In response te your telephonic in- quiry. I am very glad to repeat what I told you and several members of your committee last week. “Every action of the administration during the past two years has been directed, first, to the objective of rais- ing wage scales which, from the point of view of public interest, were set at unconscionably low levels, and, secondly, we have constantly followed the objective of preventing reductions in existing wage scales. “So much for that, except that I might add that both of these objec- tives are constantly before us and will continue so to be. Success of Operation. “As you are aware, the practical operation of the principle of collec- tive bargaining, plus the operation of the national industrial recovery act, have, in the overwhelming majority of cases of organized or unorganized labor, either raised wages or pre- vented any reduction in wages. “I object to and deny any asser- tion that the payment of wages to workers now on the relief rolls at less than the prevailing rate of wages may, under some theory, result in a lowering of wages paid by private employers. I say this because it is an obvious fact—first, that the Fed- eral Government and every State government will act to prevent re- ductions, and, secondly, because public opinion throughout the country will not sustain reductions. “I have enough faith in the country to believe that practically 100 per cent of employers are patriotic enough to prevent the lowering of wages. In this thought they will have the full support of the Govern- ment. “I think that the record of this ad- ministration has demonstrated that in the administering of this legisla- tion I will not permit anything to be done that will result in lowering the wage scale of the Nation.” After reading the letter, Glass said he did not see how any one who professed confidence in the President “can have so little confidence as not to believe he means what he now says.” Glass then solemnly warned the Senate about the state of the Nation’s credit, and added the President was opposed to the “inevitable increase this amendment would require.” “The President is opposed to it,” he said, “because like many thought- ful citizens he has begun to consider how much further we may go in pub- lic expenditures before wrecking the credit of the Nation. Fate of Laboring Man. “And should such a thing occur, let me ask the proponents of this amendment what would happen to the laboring man, the wage earners. It would be that class first of all which would feel the disastrous effect of a breakdown of the public Treasury.” Just before the roll call Senator McCarran replied briefly to Glass, say- ing: “I wonder if he stopped to think what a catclysm tnere would be if 90 per cent of the people would come to be without toil. “I want my President to underwrite this wage scale, and if he does, he will stand as one who led a country which, in spite of the actions of surrounding countries, has maintained a lving scale.” ‘The roll call follows: For the amendment: Republicans: Austin, Barber, Borah, Capper, Carey, Couzens, Cutting, Davis, Dickinson, Frazier, Gibson, Hastings, Johnson.

Work Needed by Others. Meanwhile Harry L. Hopkins, the Federal relief administrator, insisted that work would be found to suit those of the 3,500,000 not fitted for manual labor. He included artists, and said there were a quarter of a million women now employed on the work relief program. A relief study, he said, showed that 96 per cent of the unattached tran- sients and 92 per cent of heads of families, who registed at a number of cities during the last three months of 1934 were able and willing to work. Most of the transients, he added, came from semi-skilled and unskilled occupations.

POST FORCED DOWN SOON AFTER STARTING STRATOSPHERE TRIP ___(Continued From First Page) was Will Rogers, the comedian= humorist. In one of aviation’s most audacious exploits, Post planned to “fly above the weather” at speeds of 350 miles or more and reach Floyd Bennett Field in less than eight hours—a new transcontinental speed record. Post was without a sending radio set. For his flight beyond the range of the naked eye on earth he had a receiving set to give him weather re- ports and guide him along regular routes to New York. His set was so equipped that he could fly into New York by the direction indicated by a “Rudy Vallee” or housewife hint pro- gram, according to the compass in- dicator in his ship. He undertook the flight to test the feasibility of ultra-altitude flying | for commercial-type planes such as | his five-year-old Winnie Mae, in ‘which he has flown around the world | twice in record-breaking flights. By dropping his landing gear at the take-off, Post calculated to give his sturdy plane an additional 50 miles per hour in lessened wind resistance. This would make it comparable to more modern type planes with re- tractable landing gear. To Fly at 35,000 Feet. Before he donned his 16-pound oxygen and pressure suit of rubber and fabric and aluminum helmet, Post |said he contemplated flying about an | | average of 35,000 feet. The suit was designed to protect Post from temperature of more than 60 degrees below zero and atmospheric pressure. It is fed from an oxygen and pressure tank in the Winnle Mae cabin. Post went out to the Union Air Terminal last night and watched the final conditioning of his plane. Then | he went back to a Hollywood hotel for | a combination lunch and dinner. He later returned to the terminal, say- ing_he would not sleep. ) “What's a little sleep?” he said. “I am ready to go. We got our new propeller from the East yesterday, and we've got & good break in the weather. So off I go.” Engineers Watch Flight.

Foreign Holdings Eyed. Though official sources were silent on this point, there was a widespread belief in financial circles that the government may to a certain extent call upon Germans who still have bank accounts and securities abroad to make this form of exchange avail- |able to the Reich for the purchase | of raw materials in return for govern- ment securities, in reichsmarks.
