ECCLES URGES CANCELLATION OF WAR DEBTS Utah Banker, New Treasury Aid, Predicts Benefit to Business. One of the mot interentin* men brought to Waihington to help administer the new deal arrive* today in the person of Marrlner S. Ecelea. Ogden 'l'taht capitalist, lumberman, hanker, hotel operator, etc. He takes office as a special treasury assistant, but will dirharre duties more important than hit title implies. Herewith, the I'nited Press presents the first of two stories about Mr Eccles’ ideas of government. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—Marriner Stoddard Eccles, a 43-year-old Republican banker and industrialist of Ogden, Utah, assumed high office in the United States treasury department today, his mind teeming with ideas ranging from cancellation of war debts to remodeling the structure of society. Mr. Eccles’ new job is special assistant to Secretary Henry A. Morgenthau. He succeeds Earle Bailie, Wall street investment banker, who was driven from the treasury by congressional protest. Mr. Bailie remained, however, long enough to supervise a strikingly successful beginning of the administration’s $10,000,000,000 borrowing program. Benefit to Agriculture Mr. Eccles will complete that job. For the time being he will occupy the office and discharge many of the duties of undersecretary. His plea for cancellation of war debts is on record in the senate. He appeared last February before Chairman Pat Harrison and the senate finance committee as a witness in what the irreverent came to term “Pat Harrison’s best brains clinic.” “I am a capitalist,” Mr. Eccles bluntly informed the committee, but accompanied that statement with some rather surprising proposals. He told the committee this government should cancel war debts or refund them on a basis amounting to cancellation and suggested that the treasury’s loss be recouped from income and inheritance taxation. Cancellation Small Price “No one would be as greatly benefited by cancellation of these debts as American agriculture and American labor,” Mr. Eccles told the committee. “A comparatively small portion of our population would make up this loss to the treasury through the payment of income and inheritance taxes which would be made productive by the revival of business.” Explaining how he believed agriculture and labor would benefit from cancellation, Mr. Eccles said in exchange for waiving the debts the

United States should obtain from debtors: 1. Agreement to stabilize foreign currencies. 2. Agreement to reduce armaments. 3. Trade concessions. “Cancellation would be a small price for us to pay,” Mr. Eccles said, if such a bargain were made. Complaining that political leaders had lacked courage to face the w r ar debt problem, Mr. Eccles intimated the public had been encouraged to believe foreign debtors could do the impossible. He said international debts could be paid only in goods, gold- or services or in a combination of those mediums of payment. 4 “If this country is to receive payment,” Mr. Eccles said, “it must buy and consume more than it produces, thus creating a trade balance favorable to our debtors. We must either choose between accepting sufficient foreign goods to pay the foreigns debts or cancel those debts. This is not a moral problem, it is a mathematical one.” 24 Injured by Giant Wave By United Press HALIFAX. N.

MICHELSON MAY RELIEVE FARLEY AS PARTY CHIEF Ex-Reporter, Who Made Life Miserable for G. 0. P., Gains Strength. BY MARSHALL M’NEIL Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—Charles Michelson, trouble-shooter extraordinary of the Democratic party since the 1928 defeat of A1 Smith, is being advanced in some quarters as the probable successor to James A. Farley as chairman of the national committee. The report in capitol cloakrooms is that he has important support to replace “Smiling Jim,” whose triplethreat political role the White House apparently wants altered. The former New York boxing commissioner is not only national chairman, but New York state chairman and postmaster-general as well. Mr. Michelson, formerly a New York newspaper man, first won fame in politics by his co-manage-ment with Jouett Shouse of Democratic headquarters here following A1 Smith’s defeat. His statements, issued in the names of all sorts of Democrats, helped riddle the Republican regime. He was so successful, in fact, that the G. O. P. followed his example and set up its own publicity bureau. Still publicity director of the national committee, Mr. Michelson has allied himself with no factions within the party and thus has countless' friends. Before the Chicago convention he avoided trying to influence the election of delegates pledged for one man or another. At Chicago he took no hand in the fight for permanent chairmanship of the convention, althucgh his close friend and boss, Mr. Shouse, was a contender. He
