FRANCE HOLDS KEY TO EUROPE'S ARMS DECISION Attitude of Other Powers Hinging on Stand of Republic. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS United Preee Financial Editor WASHINGTON. Sept. 2.—Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson will return from Europe this week with his portfolio fairly bursting with reports of heart to heart talks with old world statesmen. Mum as the sphinx thus far as to the precise nature of these conversations, it is known that the 1932 arms conference was the principal topic discussed. Among other things he will report to President Herbert Hoover. First, that in European opinion the coming parley is regarded as the most vital world gathering since the making of the treaty of Versailles. Second, that it is believed that upon its success or failure the future of world peace will depend. Third, that the rehabilitation of Europe is contingent upon such success. Success in Great Doubt Fourth, that success is in grave doubt owing to political unrest and strong nationalistic movements in certain countries. Fifth, that the key to success is mostly in the hands of three nations, namely France, Germany and the United States. France is key-country number one. What she eventually decides to do will make or break the fateful meeting. Her final decision will decide whether Europe and the world will go on arming until the inevitable, bloody crash, or whether it is to be gradual disarmament and peace. Germany and the United States j are the key nations numbers two j and three. It is their attitude which j will largely shape the momentous decision of France. Germany Is Feared Rightly or wrongly, France is mortally afraid that Germany fully j intends to smash her way to Paris as soon as the exigencies of the sit- j uation permit. As France views it there are just two ways in which this can be pre- i vented. One is by a world peace or- j ganization able to make would-be : aggressors stay put. The other is | by building up her own system of j national defense. Two things, therefore, will have to be accomplished at Geneva next j February if there is to be any arms i reduction. First, France and Ger- | many must be brought together in ■ some sort of understanding and, second, the present altogether vague and impractical anti-war machinery will have to be improved.

HINT IMPORTER DIED IN N. Y. Cab Incident Is Told to Police by Driver. By Unil<<t Press NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—A cab driver’s story indicating Hisashi Fujimura, wealthy Japanese importer, was killed in New York and not on the liner Belgenland while on a week-end cruise with his platinum-blonde showgirl companion, was investigated by authorities today.

PUBLIC WORKS SOLVE AID FOR 7IU CITIES Municipal Relief Moves Give Work to Thousands, Survey Shows. (Copyright. 1931. by United Press) NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—Seven representative American cities meeting the unemployment problem by providing temporary work for jobless through public improvements are raising the money through municipal bond issues and through private donations by the wealthy, a survey by the United Press showed today. The mayors of each of the cities, with the exception of Socialist Mayor Daniel W, Hoan, Milwaukee, agreed the problem was one for the municipalities to face. Statements of the mayors to the United Press were as follows: Mayor Frank Murphy, Detroit — Plans are being completed for putting to work 12,000 men in the department of parks and boulevards and the department of street cleaning and grading. This city cleanup campaign is in addition to the $10,000,000 whidh is being raised among Detrot men of wealth to aid the unemployed. Mayor John Marshall, Cleveland — The county government may ask for authority to issue bonds to the extent of $1,700,000 for welfare work in addition to $500,000 raised

by the city. All forms of street solicitation have been prohibited. Mayor John C. Porter, Las Angeles—A $5,000,000 bond issue was voted by the citizens, which is being expended in giving work to those persons who have resided in Los Angeles for more than one year. Mayor Hoan, Milwaukee Milwaukee is less affected by unemployment than are other industrial cities and is doing more to provide temporary jobs and alleviate suffering. Obviously the unemployment problem is a task too great for local governments. Mayor George L. Baker, Portland, Ore—The voters have authorized a bond issue which will be used in improvements of a needed and permanent nature. Expenditures are being made by a committee of substantial citizens co-operating with the city council. Mayor Angelo J. Rossi, San Francisco—Bond issues of $2,500,000 were voted early in 1931. During l the depression no one has gone hungry. Work has been provided for about 25,000. Mayor James M. Curley, Boston— Boston has averaged between public welfare, soldiers’ relief, and institutional aid more than $20,000 a day.
