ECONOMY WILL SAVE BRITISH, SAYSSNOWDEN International Confidence Must Be Restored, Asserts Iron Chancellor.’ The Time* and United Press present herewith an Interview with Philip Snow den, who retains his post as chancellor of the exchequer In Britain’s new national Kovernment. Snowden seldom has Seen Interviewed. (World Copyright, 1931, by United Press— Reproduction In part or whole forbidden LONDON, Aug. 26.—The “iron chancellor” of Britain is confident that nation-wide sacrifice will save the country from its present financial emergency. Philip Snowden, who determined to devote his life to the interests of the people while he was recovering irom an accident that made him lame for life, believes that the inherent soundness of the British financial position and the spirit of her people will see things through. To Snowden falls perhaps the most difficult task of the new government. As chancellor of the exchequer he will be directly responsible for balancing the budget which held a $600,000,000 deficit over the heads of the late government. Depends on Confidence The veteran chancellor, now 67, expressed his faith in a national willingness to sacrifice whatever may be necessary. “This country is dependent especially upon the maintenance of confidence in international credit and international exchanges,” he said. “Recent weakening of confidence in sterling, withdrawal by foreign countries of their credits in London, and the great loss of gold reserves, if continued, would reduce currency quickly. “The falling value of currency naturally reduces its purchasing power and it is at this point that such lack of confidence affects everybody. “If the value of sterling fell It would mean the reduction of the value of wages and all other payments, such as pensions, rents and investments. Cites Grave Danger "The danger of all this happening has been very real in the last few -weeks. “It is quite beside the point to say that the situation has been created deliberately for political purposes. To think that international finance is conducted without any regard for the interests of trade is an ignorant delusion.” The chancellor obviously referred here to reports published in London that American bankers virtually had dictated terms on which Britain could receive new credits and had forced a reduction in the dole. “The chief reason why there has been this nervousness in other countries about British credit,” he continued, “is that the impression got abroad that our national financial position, that is the budgetary position of the country, was not satisfactory. Have Vast Resources “A country is like an individual. It can not keep in a solvent position forever if expenditure exceeds income. “That is the reason why economy of national expenditure is essential to make both ends meet. The present crisis has arisen through a weakness of international confidence in Great Britain’s financial stability. But the position of our country is fundamentally sound. “We have vast resources, and all that is needed to restore confidence abroad is the evidence that we are placing our national finances on a thoroughly sound basis,” the chancellor said. 100 MORE BACK STEVE Signatures Are Added to Petition Asking Leslie to Free Him. Workers of the organization which is petitioning for the pardon of D. C. Stephenson today reported that they had obtained 100 additional signatures to their petition asking Governor Harry G. Leslie to pardon Stephenson, who is serving a life sentence at Indiana state prison. At the weekly meeting in the organization headquarters Tuesday night, announcement was made that a meeting to organize a women’s auxiliary will be held Thursday night at 1718 Southeastern avenue. T.

THEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN “/CERTAINLY there was drinking the last night of the 1931 legislature,” said Senator Handout today, as he borrowed a cigar from the pocket of the blacktop lobbyist sitting next to him in one of the deep-cushioned leather chairs of a downtown hotel. “But there was less drinking this year than ever before,” he added. “Os course Lewis Chasey, the Governor's secretary, never had been around any of the previous sessions, so he had no standard of comparison by which to gauge the amount of liquor consumed,” the senator explained.

“He was just like a country boy coming to the city, who, upon seeing a ten-story building, believed it to be the largest in the world, because he had seen no larger.” “Very few of the members of the general assembly buy liquor, if any. I never do,” said Senator Handout. “The lobbyists are supposed to supply the liquor. That is why we allow them to be around. “But by midnight this year they saw that House Bill 6 had been passed (under a cloud, of course), and had sent the ‘ok* to the Governor on the bill, so they went home and took their liquor with them. (The cheap skates)” he added in an aside. “And another thing which kept the amount of drinking down was the fact that one speaker in favor of the medicinal whisky bill, had pointed out that whenever a notable dry victory was won, the staunch adherents of that cause in both houses certainly believed in a wet celebration, as witness what happened in 1925, 1927 and 1929,” and here Senator Handout licked his lips in delight. “There was certainly some swell liquor on tap those years.” v u a u "But that speech piit the fear into most of the boys and the dry leaders were around to keep tab on the faithful,” he added with a wry grin. “Os course some of the members drank. They just had to, to have strength for the conferences in the wee hours of the morning which usually wind up the session.” “There was a lot of drinking early in the session, especially at the poker games, but it sort of tamed down after the holding company bill was killed. "Os course Chasey could have said something about the girls, but I guess he realized he talked too much already." Senator Handout reached out for a match to light the borrowed cigar, then,, with a sigh, looked around and asked: “Which of you fellows will buy a coke?”

WAGE EARNERS' LEAGUE SEEKS CITYJEMBERS Unemployment Insurance Is Goal of Newly Formed National Group. Support of the federal government for unemployment relief measures is the aim of the Wage Earners’ National Relief Association, now conducting a membership campaign in Indiana. The association, through petitions being circulated throughout the entire country, will urge the government to set up machinery for creation of state systems of unemployed insurance. These petitions also will ask for organizing of a national system of employment agencies thrpugh adoption of the bill sponsored by Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York. Has 30,000 Members The organization now has 30,000 members with offices in twelve cities, according to J. Calvin Newman, executive secretary, who was in Indianapolis Tuesday. Headquarters are in Cleveland. J. A. Corn is state representative and has offices at 20 Union Trust building. Fifteen women now are employed in the circulation of petitions and obtaining of members. This force will be enlarged as the work progresses throughout the state, he stated. Membership is composed of salaried and wage-earning people, said Newman. The membership fee is 10 cents, collected at the time the petition is signed, and is used to carry on the work of expanding the organization. Contributions Made This membership fee is the only revenue source the group has, except public minded citizens who contribute larger sums, it was said. No other demand for money is made on members. Senator John J. Blaine, Wisconsin, has indorsed the movement and will prestsnt its petitions to the next session of congress. The movement was launched by James B. Parker, returned Boston jeweler, according to Newman. Parker saw what was done by veterans’ organizations in pushing soldiers bonus measures through congress, and, knowing of the need of the unemployed, began a move to use similar tactics for their assistance.

LASKY DISCUSSES ROW WITH DREISER

“An American Tragedy” With Phillips Holmes as Clyde Griffiths Opens Friday at the Indiana. MOST of Theodore Dreiser’s suggestions for changes and improvements in the picturization of his novel, “An American Tragedy,” which opens at the Indiana, Friday, Aug. 28, were followed by Paramount, and the author had no just grounds for complaint against the finished production, according to Jesse L. Lasky, vice-president in charge of production for the Paramount Publix Corporation. In an affidavit filed with Justice Graham Witschief in Westchester county supreme court at White Plains, N. Y., in connection with Dreiser’s suit'to obtain an injunction against showing of the picture, Mr. Lasky, in discussing the author's letter of protest against the manner in which the production had been filmed, said in ——

part: “When I received Mr. Dreiser’s letter of March 10, which was the first criticism received from Dreiser of a script which he had then had in his possession for several weeks, I immediately communicated with the studios and discussed Dreiser’s letter with the general manager in charge of production at Hollywood, and gave him instructions that the criticism of the script should be carefully considered. “This, I am advised and believe was done, and after seeing the completed picture, fully edited in the shape of the recent print which has not yet been seen by Dreiser or any member of his so-called committee, whose letters are attached tp his affidavit, I am convinced that Dreiser’s suggestions and criticisms have received the most careful consideration and many of'them have been accepted and incorporated in the picture. “The adopted suggestions include introductory scenes showing Clyde’s early life, explaining the development of Clyde’s character, and what in our opinion constitutes a proper dramatic ending. “I personally gave the most careful consideration to all the suggestions of Dreiser, either made to me through his correspondence or communicated to me through the personnel of defendant, and communicated my reactions thereto promptly to those in charge of the production at the coast. “The principal suggestions and criticisms of Dreiser were, I am advised, delivered personally by him to the director and script writer and supervisors in charge of the production of the picture, while it was actually being filmed in Hollywood, Cal., where Dreiser was sent at the request and at the expense of defendant for this purpose.” Lasky continued that the reason the first script of “An American Tragedy,” which was prepared by Sergei Eisenstein and approved by the author, was not used was that it “was wholly unsuitable for the purpose and represented rather the script for a series of motion pictures than for a single motion-picture photoplay. , He added that at no time had Paramount promised Dreiser to produce the picture in any other manner than “as a high-class, feature motion-picture and that every effort would be made to make it successful both artistically and financially.” a tt Indianapolis theaters today offer: Judith Lowry in “Skidding” at English’s, “The Star Witness” at the

Lyric, “Bought” at the Apollo. “Pardon Us” at the Palace, “Huckleberry Finn” at the Indiana, “Silence” at the Circle, “Caught” at the Ohio, and burlesque at the Mutual.

In the first ‘skullduggery” standings of the derby today, Riley is out in front by a fair margin and winging his way toward the quarter pole.
