U. S. COURSE ON RUSSIAN TRADE BRANDED FOLLY Paul Cravath, Famous as Lawyer, Urges Business Relations With Soviet. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Nrlwi-H*tr< Korurn Editor NEW YORK, April 30 —Paul D. Cravath, noted lawyer, today declared that in his opinion it would Ik 'the height of folly for our government to go out of its way to close the Russian market to our manufacturers and merchants.” General Pershing awarded Cravath the Distinguished Service medal for ’exceptionally meritorious conduct and services during the war.” He was advisory counsel of the American mission to the inter-allied war conference at London and Paris in 1928. He is a member of the Republican and Union League clubs of New York and of the New York Bar Association. "At this time,’’ he told ScrippsHoward newspapers, "when the United States is struggling with overproduction, it is of the first importance for the United States to develop foreign markets. Founded on Error ■ The agitation against trade with fioviet Russia is based upon a profound misapprehension. It is founded on the mistake that the Soviet government and the Russian people are synonymous terms. It has been the policy of the Unitid States to encourage trade with all nations and all peoples. It never has been the policy, as far as I know, except in time of war, that our nationals should be required to refuse trade with a foreign nation because of objections to its form of government. Governments are transitory, but nations and peoples are eternal. •Russia is the mast populous country in Europe. The equilibrium of European commerce, or, for that matter, of world commerce, can not be restored until Russia again takes its normal place in international trade. It Is, therefore, of first importance that the policy of the United States should be that American manufacturers may be able to enter the Russian market in competition with manufacturers of other countries and establish themselves so that whenever prosperity returns to Russia. the nations of the United States will have their fair share of Russian trade and enjoy the good will of the Russian people. Labor Not Forced “The argument often is heard that Russian imports into the United States should be barred because most of them are the products of forced labor. This charge has been exploded many times. "When I was In Russia a year ago. I was told that the turnover jf Russian labor was much greater than in Germany, due to the restlessness of Russian workmen, which causes them to shift from factory to factory at great sacrifice of es- j flciency. "Another argument in support of the embargo of Russian imports is that under their system of state ] planning of industry and commerce, Russia may in time become so efficient that she can undersell our merchants and manufacturers in our own markets. “From what I have seen, heard, and read about the Russian industrial system, I do rot think these charges are well grounded. Our protection should be in a general tariff and not in an embargo against a particular country. “On one thing I am clear, and that is that, under the existing American tariff and the present inefficiency in Russian manufacturing, there is no danger of Soviet Russia invading our markets with manufactured products to any serious degree. Show Lack of Faith “Those who fear for spread of Communism in this country claim that trade with Russia means favoring the Soviet form of government. It seems to me that this attitude shows a humiliating lack of faith in our institutions. “Aside from that, success or failure of the Soviet experiment does ■ not depend on trade with the United ! States. If the United States refuses i to trade with Russia, there are plenty of other countries that will encourage Russian trade. “No commercial boycott can be effective unless it is general through- j out commercial nations. Certainly no other nation gives indication of j willingness to join the proposed American boycott." Airmen’s Graves ('leaned POTTER'S BAR, Middlesex, Eng- , land, April 30—The graves of the 1 German airmen who perished when' their Zeppelin was brought down ] here in 1916 have been renovated by local residents. Electric Hare Broke Ankles HULL, April 30.—Walter Brockle- i bank, running to meet his dog; which was racing on the greyhound track, was knocked down by the i electric hare, and both his ankles j Were broken.

MAPS FOUND IN ERROR Hudson Bay’s East Shore ‘Out of Place’ by 25 Miles. By Science Service WASHINGTON. April 30.—The eastern shore of Hudson bay is shown as much as twenty-five miles out of place on existing maps. Dr. NcT J. Ogilvie, director of the Geodetic Survey of Canada, told the American Geophysical Union at its recent meeting here. Dr. Ogilvie made this discovery in the course of an "—’urate geodetic survey of the Belcher islands, an iron-bearing archipelago, last summer. The Belcher islands themselves, he found, are shown on the same maps as much as thirty-five miles away from their true location. Hitherto these errors have had little or no practical significance, but with the development of a railroad to Churchill and the opening of navigation to Europe in the summer, the more accurate location of shorelines becomes of real importance. Indian Tribes Invited By United Prat LEWISTON. Idaho, April 30.—Indian tribes from Oregon, Washington and Montana have been invited here by the Nez Pere Indians to compete with them in their annual spring ka-ou-it, or Thanksgiving festival.

Royal ‘Hanky’ Lacy ’Kerchief Waved by Victoria Recalled by Ex-Circus Star.

A S circuses take to the road this spring, memories of a handkerchief wafted to him from the hand of a queen came back to an Indianapolis man. He is E. Daniel Donahue, 210 North Holmes avenue, who was with Buffalo Bill’s circus In the days when that form of entertainment went over big. Donahue, despite the fact that his name smacks loudly of the "ould sod,” was a member of a troupe with the circus called Abdul Hassans Arabs, an acrobatic act. The show was In London in 1889, when at one performance Queen Victoria was in the audience, Donahue said. As the Arabs ended their act, Donahue detached himself from the group and made a clownish bow toward the box occupied by the queen and her retinue. The monarch waved a tiny lace handkerchief. A breeze wafted it from her hand and It fell at Donahue's feet. He treasured It for more than forty years, but the handkerchief and other effects of Donahue were lost in the 1913 flood. Just now Donahue is interested in having something other than handkerchiefs wafted in his direction. It’s votes. He is a candidate for delegate from Wayne township to the Democratic state convention. MAYOR, GENERAL TO ATTEND LEGION FETE Sullivan and Jamerson Will Be Robison Post’s Guests. Brigadier General George H. Jamerson, commandant of Ft. Benjamin Harrison and Mayor Reginald H.

FIGHT IS CALLED ECONOMY PROPOSITION "Dollars and Cents Angle Alone Should Be Spur," Says Expert. “Dollars and Cents” economy alone should lead people of the state to aid in the fight on tuberculosis, Dr. Will J. Martin of Kokomo, new president of the Indiana Tuberculosis Association, declared today. Dr. Martin quoted Dr. William H. Welch, known as “the dean of American medicine,” as follows in support of his contentions: “Any undue retrenchment In health work is bound to be paid for in dollars and cents as well as in the impairment of the people’s health generally. “We can demonstrate convincingly that returns in economic and social welfare from expenditures for public health service are far in excess of their costs. Too great economy, as far as health Is concerned, because of the current depression. is particularly dangerous to the welfare of growing children.”

ACT TO MERGE WAR AND NAVY DEPARTMENTS House Hopes to Pass on Project by Tonight; Saving Seen. BY RUTH FINNEY Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 30—The house, tired to the point of hysteria from its WTangle over economies in the civil branch of government, turned its attention today to the government's costly military services. Before night, it is to pass on proposals to consolidate war and navy departments into a department of national defense, and to cut almost $50,000,000 from the benefits paid out yearly to veterans. These two items together account for half of the house economy committee’s proposed $200,000,000 saving. Sentiment la Divided Sentiment in the house is divided fairly evenly on the section creating a new’ secretary of national defense, with assistant secretaries of war, navy and aviation, and giving him authority to consolidate, eliminate, or redistribute the functions of bureaus in the departments. It is sponsored by R epresentative Joseph Byrns (Dem , Tenn.), chair, man of the appropriations committee, and opposed by President Hoover and his secretaries of war and navy. The house probably will divide along party lines, although there will be dissenters in each party. Byrns estimates his proposal will save from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000 though the committee has included the lower figures in its estimates. While economies to be effected in 1933 could not be estimated definitely for budget balancing purposes, amounts saved would be returned to the treasury at the close of the fiscal year. Almost one-fourth of the economy bill concerns itself with savings in the government’s annual levy for costs of war. This figure has mounted to approximately two and three-fourths billion dollars, in a four and a half billion dollar budget, or about 70 per cent of the total. “Defense” Groups Act The economy committee proposes to save $48,714,000 by making less liberal various acts for the benefit of veterans. For weeks the country has been flooded with propaganda sent out by various “patriotic” and “defense” committees, in opposition to altering either the status or the appropriations of the army and navy, and in behalf of veterans’ benefits. Democratic leaders intend to try to force a final vote on the economy bill before adjournment tonight. But before they do so, they will make a last attempt to put back Into the bill drastic pay cuts and'other items eliminated by the house.

The pow’erful flare, dropped right after Stetson bailed out, enabled him to see the ground before landing and he lifted himself by the parachute strings to ease the fall. The flier was equipped with additional spotlights and a searchlight was focused on him after he bailed out.
