BARUCH ADDS HIS VOICE TO RITCHIE BOOM ‘Finger of Fate’ Pointed at Governor of Maryland, Financier Says. By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—Bernard Baruch, financier and prominent Democrat opposes cancellation of war debts, believes the United States is emerging from the depression, and thinks the "finger of fate seems to point" to Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland as a presidential possibility. Baruch, former chairman of the war industries board, gave his views to 150 reassembled members of the war organization at an Armistice day reunion. The gathering included many prominent industrialists, financiers and business executives. "If we forgive the money that is owed us,” Baruch said of war debts, "the American taxpayer, manufacturer, laborer and farmer must pay them because the receipts from war debts have become part of our budget.” He said he believed the spirit of defeatism and pressimlsm of the depression had been broken and that this country would continue on to anew era of growth and prosperity. At the same time he called on France and other continental countries to strengthen the foundations of European peace as a condition of any additional aid. Peace in Europe, he said, "lies iri the hollow of the hand of France. It is for her to say if peace and happiness shall reign over Europe. It would be unwise for us to submit to any change in debts or reparations until that Is done.” At the conclusion of his address he paid tribute to Governor Ritchie as the man "to whom the finger of fate seems to point as being perhaps destined to move to the White House." ‘Personal,’ Says Ritchie By United Prrgt NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, mentioned for the Democratic presidential nomination, today insisted his scheduled visit to former Governor Alfred E. Smith was purely a "courtesy call.” Ritchie said he had come here to i be the guest of Bernard Baruch and to lecture on "The World Crisis” at Friday night’s dinner of the Academy of Political Science. The Democratic group headed by Smith and John J. Raskob, how- ‘ ever, is regarded as favoring the candidacy of Ritchie over that of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York. “I should think that unemployment and prohibition would be the leading issues in next year’s national campaign,” Ritchie said.
