GERMANS DISSATISFIED OVER

NATION FEELS PAYMENTS ARE BEYOND MEANS Berlin Gloomy in Belief Political Necessity Forced Assent to Terms. RATIFICATION CERTAIN Washington Sees Young Plan as Move for World Financial Stability. K i r n it . 4 r BERLIN. .June 8 There was lit.r)> jubilation here today over t.hr fart that a final agreement had been reached between Germany ar.d ?h allies on the elevcn-year-oid reparations problem. Even the neople acknowledged nreservcdlv rhat the Reich rteleya.?es to the Faris conference of economic experts signed the new war-debt agreement only a- a poli" ir.il necessity. Although under the new Owen P Yount plan Germany will have to pa’ nearly $120,000,000 a year less shan they were obliecri to pay linger the old Dawes plan of reparat otis payments, the feeling here generally was that the reich still will be complelled to pay more than jr economically can afford and that the success of the German delegation in obtaining the reduction Was a " relative success only." It is claimed in official quarters that the creditor powers themselves for a long time had hern convinced of the unfeasibility of the Dawes agreement. Many of them are of the opinion that the conference was called entirely too early and that had it. been convened two years latpr Germany would have received far better terms. rt is the general opinion here that hv that time the transfer difficulties would have "brought the creditors to reason.” Hailed as Great Step C" l ll it-4 I’ri - WASHINGTON, June 3. Signing of the experts" reparations report in Paris was hailed in administrative circles generally today as a potent factor leading to Financial stabilization throughout Europe with consequent benefit to this country. Official opinion, however, took the •wcw the only benefits to the United spates will be those likely to ensue from a stabilization of European finances. One. official suggested the proposed flotation in this country ot the issue of German bonds provided in the settlement may reart unfavorably on credit conditions here end in non-European countries. Offering of several billions of German bonds in this country, this official said, probably will cause American investors to lend les.> money to Latin America and Canada. Which for many years have been heavy borrowers in the United States credit market. Another probable outcome of the settlement, he suggested, would be increased agitation for revision of the allied debts to this country. Experts Leave Paris Bv 1 nitrrl Prrt* FARIS. June 8-With the conference of reparations experts now practically a matter of history. Owen D. Young and his colleagues on the unofficial American delegation, left. Paris to sail for home today, their task completed. The report has been signed by all the nations concerned, by Germany as debtor, by France. Belgium. Italy, Great. Britain and Japan as creditors. The only thing necessary now to make the contract completely effective iAI its ratification by the powers involved. There is not even the slightest question about the governments signing it. The new Young plan will come Into existence Sept. 1. For the first thirty-seven years Germany will pay to the allies, through an internatioipl bank, which will be established later, an average of about $487,900,000. During the remaining twenty-one years, which will finish out the schedule, the annuities will he reduced considerably. The payments arc divided into two classes —unconditional, which the Reich will have to deliver regardless of circumstances, and conditional. which will depend upon Germany's financial condition. A special committee will be appointed by the international bank to keep an eye upon Germany's financial stability, a commission which probably will be empowered to vote for an tnterna! moratorium in the event Germany is unable to pay its annuities.

WETS ACCLAIM HOOVER STAND ON PROHIBITION Jubilant Antis Say President Admits Serious Defects in Dry Laws. B’l l-rripp.i.Hotrrjril \ nrs;>a prr llliance WASHINGTON. June 3. Congressional Wets today hailed jubilantly President Herbert. Hoover's proposal that a special committee of congress investigate prohibition enforcement to determine what departmental rlianges are neeessary to make the dry laws more effec' e. They declared the execu ve's message admitted in so many words that there were serious defects in the enforcement machinery, and the wet, bloc leaders are preparing to make w hat. capital they can out of this. Leading wets asserted they would insist on selection of the committee's personnel both from prohibitionists and those opposed to the dry laws. A packed committee, in their opinion, could not reach a | conclusion that would guide con- ! gress. Some Drys Doubtful In dry circles it was admitted that the President's suggestion furnished an opportunity for friends and enemies to take the enforcement machinery apart, and discover what has been wrong with it for the last ten years. Some prohibitionists were inclined to criticise the move. It was anticipated that some of the testimony of government officials in the proposed inquiry may not sustain the drys’ contention that the Volstead act can and has been enforced. If the President's ideas are earned out. literally, there may be three eparate investigations of prohibition, the national law enforcement commission, already at work: the congressional committee mentioned m the President's message, and the I departmental committee proposed by the White House. Wets Like Inquiries Wets like the idea of wholesale inquiries into this controversial subject, while drys would prefer that it be let alone. Both sides, how--1 ever, are somewhat puzzled by what i they consider the vagueness of the i President’s recommendations. He did not mention the transfer ; of the prohibition bureau from the I treasury to the department of jusi tice, which had been the major move proposed during the cami paign. LIQUOR KILLS SEVEN May's Alcohol Toll Largest in Four "Years. Seven deaths were attributed to alcoholic poisoning in Indianapolis during May, city health records shoved today. The fatalities represented the greatest number in any month the j past four years. The total for the ; five months this year is sixteen, one j less than the entire number in 1928. Teh statistics do not take into aci count deaths in which alcohol was Ia contributing factor, according to O, Tom Johnson, statistician. SCHOOL AID FAVORED ; County Superintendents Ask State to Pay Minimum Expenses. All minimum school expenses i would be paid by the state under a : resolution adopted by the County i Superintendents’ Association meeting at the Lincoln Friday. A bill providing for such expediture to the state was defeated in the 1929 legislature. This would increase state taxes between SB,OOO and $12,000. it is estimated. In theory this amount would be deducted from local assessments. Lee O. Baird. Muncie. was elected president of the association.

MRS. KASPER KRATZER Box 234, Eureka, Utah “Two years ago I had a nervous breakdown from overwork. I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and now I thank you for my good health. I cannot write very well in English so I am writing in German. I do my own housework, my appetite is good, I sleep better and my nerves are improved. I have already taken twelve bottles. I never again will be without it in the house and I recommend it.”—Mrs. Kasper Kratzer.

TREES TRIMMED TO HELP RADIO ! Experts to Start Work on North Side Monday. Davey tree surgeons, brought to Indianapolis by the Indianapolis Power and Light Company and working under the direction of William A. Jacoby. Times radio interference engineer, are finishing work in eastern sections of the city. Reports indicate much relief from radio interference, as result of limbs of trees being trimmed away from power and light lines. The north side of Indianapolis will be the next, part of the city to be worked on by these men. North side residents are asked to co-oper-ate as much as possible in letting the men trim such trees as are causing interference by touching: electric lines. The work done by the tree surgeons is not limited to cutting trees. The trimming is done according to the best practices in promoting the health and growth of the tree and at the same time removing an objectionable cause of radio interference. The men will start work on the north side Monday morning, Davey men said today.
