MONEY TO BE FRENCH CLUB OVERJERLIN Dollars, Not Force, to Be Weapon Used to Compel Reparations Payment. BY WALLACE CARROLL Vnitfd Pren* Staff Correspondent PARIS, Jan. 11.—Prance will use dollars, not bullets, against Germany if that country repeats officially at the Lausanne conference her claim that continuation of reparations payments is impossible. Instead of moving troops into German territory to occupy and force collection of payments from German industries, France will refuse to lend Germany much-needed cash, it was Indicated. Paris considers Chancellor Heinrich Bruening's statement a “preLausanne gesture” and did not accept it as an ultimatum on the reparations questions, but the statement provoked unofficial threats to invoke economic and military sanctions under the Young plan and the Versailles treaty if Germany refuses to pay. Would Wreck Parley Minister of Finance Flandin told the United Press that it would be useless to hold the Lausanne conference if Bruening’s declaration was exact, "which would be equivalent to annulling the Versailles treaty and the Young plan.” “It’s evident that France can not accept Germany’s denunciation of unilateral reparations contracts, freely signed, which means the destruction of our sacred rights of reparations,” Flandin said. It was pointed out that the Versailles treaty authorized certain sanctions in the event of default of reparations. The Hague agreement of Jan. 16, 1930, allows France to appeal to the world court if Germany manifests bad faith. The court could grant France full liberty of action if the charges were proved true. No New Occupation A United Press survey of government quarters indicated there would be no new occupation of the Ruhr or similar seizure of German territory, and not even reoccupation of the Rhineland, which the allies technically are allowed to occupy through 1935. Reports published in the United States that furloughs had been canceled in the Saar and troops had been ordered to stand by were ridiculed by French officials. They pointed out that the last French troops had been withdrawn from the Saar eighteen months ago, which made the reports “the wildest sort of invention.”

Cancellation Is Urged BY HENRY T. RUSSELL United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Jan. 11. —Germany’s declaration that she can not resume reparations payments and Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald’s statement that European recovery depends upon facing “the hard facts’’ led most London morning newspapers to say today that cancellation of war debts and reparations is necessary. MacDonald said of Chancellor Heinrich Bruening’s declaration: ‘•ln view of the economic conditions disclosed by the experts’ report (the Young plan advisory committee which met at Basle) and international problems in Germany, it was not unlikely that some such declaration would be made at Lausanne (Jan. 25). “The fact that it already has been made rendered the Lausanne conference more necessary than ever—for it is impossible to leave things as they are.” Sir Josiah Stamp, famous economist, said he thought MacDonald was quite correct. “If there are any divergencies it is far better to face the hard facts than to let things go on,” he said. MacDonald conferred with thembers of his cabinet throughout Sunday regarding Britain’s attitude on the Bruening statement.

Racket Tax By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—A solution for Chicago’s fiscal tangle was offered today by Oliver Baldwin, progressive son of the English conservative leader, Stanley Baldwin. Baldwin here on a lecture tour suggested that an 80 per cent tax be levied on graft in municipal affairs. “If what I hear is correct,” Baldwin said, “such a tax easily would solve Chicago financial troubles. But as far as hard times goes America hasn’t suffered—you should see England.”

BAKER WARNS OF WAR PERIL FACINGWORLD Finance Not Only Problem, He Tells Congregation in Cleveland. By United Press CLEVELAND, Jan. Tl.—Military and national troubles take their places along financial difficulties as major world problems which are dangerous, Newton D. Baker believes. Urging the United States entry into the world court as a necessary adjunct to peace, Baker discussed his pet subject before a packed congregation Sunday night at the Methodist Church of the Savior. “We know there is a world-wide economic depression, but most of us do not realize that all the troubles in the world are not financial,” he said. “They are also military and national. All of them are dangerous.” He turned to the Sino-Japanese dispute, accusing Japan of violating both the nine-power and fourpower treaties in her present attitude toward China. “That is one serious situation,” he warned. “Another is that nations of the world are spending more on armaments than they were in 1914. This is going on despite the fact that, as the result of bonded indebtedness going up 400 per cent in twenty years, a mountain of debts grew up that we know now never can be paid back.” “Nations are growing wiser to the virtues of peace, as evidenced by France’s nonchalance in receiving Germany’s notification that reparations no longer can be paid. “When Herr Bruening announced Saturday that Germany was not going to pay a cent of reparations,” the former secretary of war declared, “France expressed shock, but did not take the action that might have been expected. Stand Has Changed “I am inclined to believe that if Bruening’s statement had been made a year ago, the French army would have marched up the Rhine and taken possession of the left bank. Ports and the German railreads would have been hopelessly crippled. “But in this last year, France has learned something, and the attitude now is that, while it is shocking that Germany should make a oneway cancellation of its debts, France also may make a one-way cancellation of its debt.” “Anything’’ may come of a situation of this kind, Baker warned. A more compact world court, with the United States sitting as a member, would do much to fortify such problems against the possibility of wars, Baker said. RULE ON TAX LOSS —. . X Sale of Private Home Not Income Reduction. By United Press v WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Losses suffered on the sale of private homes may not be deducted from income tax returns, but losses encountered from stocks, bonds, or business real estate are deductible. Allowance from practically any loss except that of a home is permitted under the revenue acts of 1918 and 1921. % This phase of the income tax laws is being realized today by thousands of Americans who have been forced to sell their homes at losses during the last year. Daily requests are received at the income tax unit of the treasury for explanations. The feeling of unfairness in this ruling is shared by some administration and tax officials. The rule, however, is in the law in black and white.

U. S. ACTION AT GENEVA ASKED IN RESOLUTION Bullet-Riddled Ex-Soldier Arraigns War at Mass Meeting. BY STEWART BROWN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 11.-Amer-ica’s delegation to the world disarmament conference was warned unofficially Sunday not to return to the United States until it had bought, satisfactory results. A mass meeting attended by Jews, Catholics, Protestants, war veterans, feminists and business leaders addressed a resolution to President Hoover, asking him to instruct the delegation to “take a lead in obtaining effective action on disarmament at Geneva." A one-armed, bullet riddled exsoldier, Frank A. Schrepfer, commander of an American Legion post in Philadelphia, brought the gathing to tears with his description of the horrors of war. “War,” he said, waving his one arm in anger, “is an historic failure in the settlement and adjustment of international disputes, an economic folly, an outrage against humanity, a purveyor of the lowest instincts of man, and a menace to civilization.” The audience, men with tears streaming down their faces and women sobbing, listened to his bitter words as he told how his four best friends were killed before his eyes. The meeting was organized by the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. Other speakers included Silac Strawn, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce; John A. Simpson, president of the National Farmers’ Union, and representatives of the Jewish, Catholic and Protestant churches. America’s disarmament machinery lies idle awaiting the return from Chicago of Ambassador Dawes, chairman of the delegation. Meetings will be resumed when Dawes returns some time this week. He hopes to have the program weli whipped into shape before the delegation sails for Geneva on the twentieth. The conference begins Feb. 2.

Disabled war veterans must pay poll tax before purchasing automobile licenses, and only members of the army, navy, marines and national guard are exempt, he also ruled.
