HERRIOT STAKES OFFICIAL LIFE ON ARMS PLAN Courageous Fight Made to Reach Agreement With Germany. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Strlpm-Howard Forrten Editor WASHINGTON. Nov. 1— Like the late Aristide Briand. Premier Edouard Herriot has staked his official life on the chance of a rapproachment with Germany. Already French Nationalists are characterizing his new disarmament plan as “indescribable idiocy.” They claim it will make it possible for Germany to do to France in the future what Prussia did in the days of Napoleon I. Napoleon, by his dictated peace

of Tilsit in 1807, forced Prussia to keep her army down to 42,000. But by a system of comp ulsory service, Intensive training and rapid rotation of recruits through this tiny force, Blu ch e r had under him a force 250,000 strong in 1815 and sealed Bonaparte's

doom at Waterloo. French critics claim Herriot’s plan will pave the way for history to <repeat itself. German equality in the matter of arms, military service, militia forces and so on, they charge, will give Germany a 70 per cent superiority over France. Germany has a fast-increasing population of 651000,000 as against a stationary French population of only 40,000,000.

Plays Courageous Game But Herriot, in the opinion of American diplomatic and service men, is playing not only a courageous, but an exceedingly statesmanlike game. Like Briand, he realizes that France either must reach a live-and-let-live understanding jvith her powerful neighbor across the Rhine, and now, or prepare for a bloody, and perhaps lasing, showdown. American diplomacy <s understood to share this view, and to have said as much in Paris, Berlin and London. It holds that it would be far wiser for France and Germany to get together now on some definite arms reduction and limitation accord than to let nature take its course • Bnd await the explosion. If Germany binds herself now. along with the rest of the world, to keep her armaments down, France would have the world with her should German- violate the agreement. But, should Germany remain outsi. : such understanding, she never would stop until she had perfected a war machine big enough to blast her way to Paris. Viewed Far-Sighted Plan Premier Herriot now' is viewed as taking this far-sighted view. He is said to be convinced that France’s best interests lie in an entente making it difficult, if not impossible, for either country to wage ag- ✓ gressive w'ar against the other. Briand labored in the same direction. With Gustav Stresemann, German minister of foreign affairs, he almost achieved his goal. But Hitler’s Nazis and other German Nationalists spoiled everything by warlike gestures, and Briand, derided by many of his own people for allowing himself to be led into “a Teutonic ambush.” w r as discredited politically, and died of a broken heart. Herriott is risking the same fate, and knows it. But because he is doing it, despite the peril, his prestige here never w r as higher.

City Plants Push Fear Drive; Mills ‘Hopes’ Hoover Will Win; County Campaign Goes in High

The Republican campaign of fear forced its way into four more Indianapolis companies Monday afternoon. According to reports from the companies, G. O. P. leaders seek to swing more than 1.000 votes to their parties through this form of political intimidation. Two industrial plants on the west side of the city, with more than 500 employes affected, passed word along the line that it would be “advisable” to vote the Republican ticket. In both instances, it was reporte'd leaders of the movement named high officials of the companies as being among active workers In the local campaign for President Hoover. In a downtown firm, more than 200 employes were informed of the organization of a Hoover club and were instructed to “work for the club.” Heads of this company were reported to have supported the club organization move. The fourth company, according to current reports, carried the order beyond employes. This company, which has several hundred representatives on city streets throughout the day and night, not only is said to have directed employes how to vote, but instructed them to carry the word to hundreds of persons with whom they come in contact daily. Investigation revealed that, although the employes were not threatened openly with loss of their jobs, a large number of them declared they believed it “would pay” to follow orders. According to reports from one of the industrial firms, only the “wavering” element was approached. Sure-fire Republicans and Democrats, it is said, were not solicited, but any employe, who was considered doubtful, was approached.

Mills Is Hopeful By Bcripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. I.—President Herbert Hoover will be reelected next Tuesday if the drift to him gains sufficient momentum. This is the opinion of Treasury Secretary Ogden L. Mills, who, next to the President himself, is regarded as the G. O. P.s most effective campaigner. It is the first time that Mills has cast any doubt on the outcome. “Everything is moving in one direction—all to Hoover,” Mills said. “The only question left is whether it is moving fast enough.” Mills says wherever he speaks he is told that Hoover is gaining. “I get this,” he adds, “from people who are not kidding me.” The question with him is the one which continues to bother G. O. P. leaders, whether Hoover can regain sufficient ground to upset the overwhelming Roosevelt victory forecast by the Literary Digest and other polls. Mills admits that A1 Smith's recent campaigning has done Roosevelt “some good in Massachusetts. ’ Original Hoover Man Quits By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. I.—-Presi-dent Hoover has been deserted in the present campaign by Louis Bartlett, prominent San Francisco attorney and the man who called the first “Hoover for President” meeting in the United States. That meeting took place in 1920 and was addressed by the late President David Starr Jordan of Stanford university. Bartlett, formerly mayor of Berkeley, Cal., and long a member of the National Popular Government League, has broken with the President over the power issue. “Hoover’s record, particularly on the issue of power, has placed his sympathies with the exploiters, not the exploited.” says Bartlett, praising Roosevelt’s stand on the issue. ‘Suggests’ Hoover Vote By Beripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance HOUSTON, Tex., Nov. I.—The Texas Chemical Company has posted a notice suggesting its employes vote for Hoover. “We feel,” says the notice, “that unless the present administration is retained, it will necessitate closing some of our plants which will throw' many men out of w r ork.” The concern is owned by the Stuaffer Chemical Company o f California.

Dance hall, two miles east of Indianapolis on the National road, at 8 Wednesday night. Harrison Asks Decision Backing his stand on prohibition, William Henry Harrison, Republican candidate for congress, in several speeches Monday nignt, suggested "we put this thing to the people and get it over with.” “If the wets win it will mean the forming of another definite plan for temperance and recognition that the old plan was not adequate. But if the drys again can carry the country it will mean elimination of corrupt officers whom I have heard have taken money merely not to see trucks pass through their districts,” Harrison said. LESLIE DODGES LUESSE ACTION

Sends Petition for Release to Farm Trustees. Theodore Luesse, Communist candidate for Governor, will not get to vote for himself. Governor Harry G. Leslie has taken .his petition for remission of fine and sent it to the board of trustees for action Nov. 9. Election day is Nov. 8. So Luesse will remain a prisoner on that date at the Indiana state farm. He served a year’s sentence and has been serving a SSOO fine at $1 a day since last May. The sentence and fine were imposed by Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker because Luesse urged unemployment tenants to resist eviction. Last week Baker signed the petition for remission of fine, which already had the signatures of other county officials. Leslie told a committee of citizens, seeking Luesse’s release on the grounds that he is a political prisoner, that Baker's signature w r as essential. When they returned with it he forwarded the matter to the trustees. MOVE TO PUT TEETH IN LAWYER STATUTES Bar Association to Study Proposal to Give Courts More Leew’ay.

NO LOANS MADE BY HOME BANK, OPEN 2 WEEKS Action Is Not Likely for Some Time, Officials of Institution Admit. Heralded as means of “saving mortgaged real estate from the auctioneer’s hammer and a means of ending depression.” the Indianapolis Home Loan bank has made no loans since it was opened two weeks ago and no loans are likely to be made for some time, it was learned today. Officials of the Indianapolis bank today said it is hoped the bank will be able to start making loans to building and loan associations within the next several weeks, possibly before start of the new year. It is not the purpose of the bank to make loans to individuals and firms direct, except in territories where there are no building and loan associations available, it was explained. Opened on Oct. 15 Doors of the bank were opened Saturday, Oct. 15, and at that time it was announced the bank would start serving the public the following Monday. The federal home loan system was proposed by President Hoover as part of the business reconstruction program whereby $1,500,000,000 of potential home-financing credit would be tapped by the twelve home loan banks throughout the country. Frank K. McKibben, assistant to the president of the local bank, today said that sixty building and loan associations in Indiana and Michigan, out of a total of 320 such associations in the two states served by the bank, have filed applications for loans, but none have been acted on.

Approved by Board He said the certificate of organization for the local bank has been approved by the federal board at Washington and was to be filed in the Marion county recorder’s office today. McKibben announced the appointment of two new officials of the bank, B. F. Butrless, now connected with the supervisor of building and loan associations in Michigan, and Robert H. Wetenberger, now with the building and loan department of the Indiana department of banking. They will have charge of examination of financial statements submitted by associations seeking loans.

Until recently the company had followed the practice of redeeming the notes on demand before maturity. Mrs. Jerrems charged officials of the company, which operates in the small loan field, said under present conditions the company was unable to repurchase the notes and she seeks to enforce verbal promises that the notes could be cashed in at any time. Officials of the local office had no comment to make other than that redeeming of notes on demand and sale of notes has been halted pending adjudication of the suit. Hearing on a petition to make the receivership permanent has been set for Nov. 15.

Weather Keeps Halloween Funsters in Check. Chilly, wet weather carried a policeman's night-stick Monday night and did more to prevent Halloween pranks and merriment than the entire force of Chief Mike Morrissey could do. The police department reported the night one of “ease,” with calls of vandals, taking gates and porch furniture, at a minimum. A few “tick-tackers," or small groups of youngsters with pumpkin faces shadowing candles braved the rain, but for the most part the merry’-merry of the evening of witches and goblins was confined to indoor parties and dances. Clown suits—the few that were seen—were bedraggled by the misty rain.
