News Review of Current Events the World Over — Representative McFadden’s Violent Attack on President Hoover Stirs House—Chicago Wins the Republican National Convention. By EDWARD W. PICKARD

TWO Republican members of congress from Pennsylvania—Representative Louis McFadden and Senator David A. Reed—stirred up the

national legislature by violent attacks on the policy of President Hoover and the administration in relation to the moratorium on intergovernmental debts and the suggested revival of the refunding commission with the possibility of cancellation of war debts. McFadden, former chairman of the house

>? «k' L. McFadden

banking and currency committee, was : especially bitter in his hour-long speech, asserting'that Mr. Hoover had ■ “sold out” the United States to. "the German intonations! bankers” whom he named as Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the Seligmans, Paul Warburg and “their satellites. - ’ He said the administra- ; tion’s course in working. for accept- | ance of the moratorium was like “the ways of an oriental potentate drunk i with power.” He declared the Presii dent’s unofficial poll of congress last i June was "a crude attempt to usurp i legislative power.” Representative John.J. O’Connor of New York, a Tammany Democrat, jumped to his feet shouting 40 the Re- ; publicans: “It’s my President as well as yours rhe's talking about, and if "hone of. ' you will defend him from charges ; which are grounds for Impeachment, Pm going to.” I 'But Burnett M. Chiperfleld of Illinois, Republican, was alremly up. and ids reply was vigorous and ade1 quote. Said he: “If the gentleman (McFadden) I means what he says and if the gentle- ■ man Is sincere, let him and Ids associates prepare articles of impeachment against the President of the United States and let those articles of impeachment be tried, and then the proof may be known, and let the guilt and infamy and horror fall where it : may. The President of the United ! States would ask- for such action, knowing that the truth and a fair in- > quiry would vindicate him. ... “Ijulies and gentlemen, if there is one particle of integrity in the statement the gentleman has made, let the gentleinan produce proof -of the < barges Let fiim show that we have a President who is unworthy of occupying that high office or let him go from this chamber as a foul trnducer of the character of an honest inan." SENATOR REED, who has often been regarded as the spokesman for Secretary Mellon, denounced what , he called the propaganda by the in ternational bankers to force cancel latioh for their own selfish interests, and he declared flatly that he was bp posed to the revival Os file war debt commission as proposed by the President. “We have cancelled,” he said, “ail we are going to cancel: It is within the capacity of most of the nations, of Europe to pay us the amounts i:.". i>we u-. and as long as that fact start's us in the face it is sheer imbecility for us to be any more gen j erous than we have been in the past..’ Senators McKellar of Tennessee and Johnson of California followed in much the same vein and both declared they would not vote even for the one . year moratorium. The latter was before the house ways and means committee and Undersecretary Mills and Secretary of State Stimson both appeared before that body to urge ritiScation. SPEAKER GARNER and Senator Robinson announced that the Democratic joint policy committee had de- ; termined that the Hoover moratorium

Senator Mose*

■ was not a subject i matter for party consideration and should be left open to the personal views of the Democratic members. The committee also decided that every i possible effort would |be made to reduce | government expend! I tures. but did not ■ reach an agreement jon details with reI spect to the tariff or

| tax revision, leaving these with other | matters for future consideration. Thim<st bill to reach actual comj mittee discussion in the senate was one introduced by Senator Hale, to authorize building the navy up to the ; London treaty limits. Organization of the senate was aci compiished by the election of connnittee chairiiien. but the deadlock over . the choice of a president pro tempore ! was not broken. The progressives opposing the re-eiection of Senator J George Moses of New Hampshire I would not give in. and Moses contini ued to preside. One day the recalcl ; trants delivered their entire vote to Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, a regular who was a leader of the socalled -young guard” last session. But both Vandenberg and the young guard spurned this overture and continued t vote for Moses. CHICAGO captured the Republican national convention of 1932. the administration’s alleged opposition to that city not manifesting itself. The national committee, presided over by Chairman Fess, listened to earnest arguments in favor of Chicago and Atlantic City, and on the first ballot gave 88 votes to the former and 14 to the latter. The choice was then made

unanimous, Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia and St. Louis withdrew their bids before the balloting began, none of them having been able to raise the money for the convention expense. The committee decided that the convention should be called for June 14. Chicago guarantees up to $150,000 to pay for the expenses of the G. O. P. gathering, and her hotels have agreed to accommodate 3,500 delegates, alternates and newspaper men at rates of from $1.50 to $4 a day. The’convention will be held in the new stadium, which can seat about 30,000 and which has ample accommodations for committees. etc. /It has a cantilever roof without obstructing pillars, a modern ventilating and refrigerating system, excellent acoustics and a fine pipe organ. The only drawback is the fact that the stadium is located on the West side, several miles from the hotels that will house Pho visitors. I) ELIEF for the nation’s jobless Is still foremost in the mind of Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York. Last week he introduced in the sen/

ate a resolution designed to set in motion the machinery created by the federal employ men t stabil iza - t ion act which was passed last session at his instance. This would mean a start on a two billion-dol lar federal public works program that would gi.ve give empl o v me n t to thousands of men.

Sen. Wagner

in the preamble to his resolution. Senator Wagner set forth facts and figures showing the gravity of the depression. After citing the numbers of unemployed, the. many bank failures and the falling off ;in production, he showed that the volume of construetion for the third quarter of i'.'.’ii was $558. , ,KM).(M»0 or 53 per cent less than for the third quarter of 1925; that the volume of bfillding contracts awarded declined $2,447,3iM1,000 in the first nine months of 1931 below the sitnilar period in 1928; that the volume; of construction of public works and public utilities has fallen from in the first nine months of !!'■_■< to S!'s2.7iM).<Mh>; that the wholesale prices of building materials declined from an index of Si,9 In January f0’74.9 in Sep tember, that money spent for relief in I the larger American cities was hi September. 1931. 142 per cent greater than in September. 1939. and in October. 1931. 11.3 per cent greater than In Oc , tober, 1930. IMMEDIATELY after the holidays * the senate naval committee will be >• navy's w repiactement needs and also into the a.-bnal terms.of the League of Nations one-year armament construction truce to which the stdininlstratlon gave Its adherence a few weeks ago. On the . former matter 'here will be Open hear Ings. Chairman Hale’s decision to look into the arms holiday was prompted by a special report obtained from naval | officers indicating ■ that if the truce j terms were carefully investigated they would show that tin* agreement was ■' so general and-so hampered with res- j creations that it was largely a farce It Js Mr: Hale’s belief that It will he found that its terms will not prohibit the laying down of a substantial warship construction program at once. As open hearings also will be held by the house naval affairs committee, it is apparent that the full details of the American naval situation will be threshed out In congress prior, to the departure for Geneva of the American delegation to the league arms confer ern e. At the house hearings, .evidence will be Introduced to support the passage of an authorization hill carrying close to a billion dollara* worth of new strips, covering a ten or flfteen-year construction program designed to give this country a London treaty navy. VER in Basel, Switzerland, the Young plan advisory committee, of w-hich Alfredo Beneduce of Italy is chairman, was said to have abandoned

any intention of making strong recotrimen dations for the complete abolition of re parations _ payments hy Germany, although this was strongly urged by Collin, neu tral Dutch member and favored by oth ers. The committee’s mind was probably changed by the firm stand taken by Walter W. Stewart. United

States member, against the scaling down of war debts, but Europe still hopes the American attitude will be more lenient in a few months. The advisory committee Will merely report to the various governments the facts uncovered concerning Germany’s capacity to pay, and action will be put up to the final reparations conference that probably will be held late in January. A technical subcommittee submitted a written report to Chairman Beneduce on German holdings abroad and the holdings of foreigners in Germany with a view to establishing the net debt of the reich. The figures were held in secrecy. It was understood this subcommittee suggested ,/t was impossible to uncover all derman investments abroad and intimated that they were much larger than the 9,700.000.000 reichsmarks listed in the Wiggin report as of December 31, 1930.

UNDER pressure. Chiang Kai-shek i finally has resigned as president j of China, and with him Minister of Finance Soong and .Foreign Minister

i. Jf ’•Sr Chiang Kaishek

Chen, formerly foreign minister. For the present Lin Sen, a veteran member of the Nationalist party, is at the head of the government. According to these leaders, the new government will not longer rely so much on the League of Nations and will assume a much vigorous policy toward Japan in the Manchurian dispute. This announcement may serve to quiet the Chinese students, who in their effort to bring on actual war with Japan have continued their riotous demonstrations in Nanking and elsewhere. Chiang Kai-shek explained his resig- : nation in the following statement: “I have tried to fulfill my qbliga- I tions ever since I was made chairman ’ of the National government in 1928. My comrades at Canton said they would come, to Nanking only on condition that I resign. This mentis that I must retire before peace and unity are restored.” _ MUKDEN dispatches indicate that Manchuria will soon become autonomous. with Gen. Tsang Shih-yi as -its first ruler. The general has just been installed as governor of I Fengtien province, of which Mukden is the capital. He replaced Yuan Chin-Kai. who was installed after the Japanese captured the city in September and was never considered more thiin a temporary figurehead. General Tsang was made a prisoner by the Japanese at that time, and apparently he has at last been won over by them. JAPAN’S new. premier, Tsuyoshi Inukai. in his first interview declared Japan does not covet an inch of ground- in Manchuria but Insisted

that Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang mu s t ' withdraw his army from the Chinchow J region. He said the Japanese demanded only their treatyrights, with guaran tees of safety for their nationals in China. In response to a question regarding disarmament, the premier said. “I favor it. one of tire most absurd ideas in the

world is the insistence upon maintainI ing large armies ami navies.” He concluded the interview with the hope-.that the United States would soon get over its streak of thrift and > “buy ’ more silk —Japan needs the ' [ money.” i The premier has appointed as for- I eign minister Kenkichi Yoshizawa, am- j bassador to Paris and Japan’s representative at the meetings of the League of Nations council.'. He lias been tailed hottie to Tokyo. The I Inukai government, it is expected, will s adopt most of the budget of former Finance Minister Inmiye, which action i would free the Minseito party from j the necessity of voting against the new cabinet and probably Would avert | a general election. The retrench- ' , ment plans, however, will be aban- I I doped; *. ' . " /CHANCELLOR 1 RUENING S govj ernment in Germany seems to be I secure until January at least, for the Socialist’ party in caucus decided to support him long enough to jgive- him an opportunity to enforce the price reductions he promised in his emergency ■ If he fails In this, the So I cialists join the Communist and i Hitlerites in opposition and may overthrow him. . The relch authorities are working hard to uncover the facts in the Fascist plot against the republic widen they believe exists. In reply to Brueniug’s threat to mobilize an army if jiecessary to crush the Nazis, Herr j Hitler gave out a long letter in which | he defied the chancellor, called his emergency/worthless and demanded liberty and power for the Fascist ;>arty. REPORTS of the royal nfix-up in Rumania continue contradictory and confusing. The latest is that King Carol and Prince Nicholas have made up, that the latter has agreed to give up his wife, Jana Deletj. legally but only legally, and that be will therefore retain his royal titles and ! prerogatives and his military com- I mands. So Nicholas and Jana'will be : merely companions, as were —and are —Carol and Magda Lupescu. ENGLAND’S round table conference over the status of Burma promises to go the way of that concerning India. The other day three delegates representing certain elements in Burma withdrew from t,he conference because of dissatisfaction with the British statement of intentions to give Burma a constitution inside’ of which to become a self-governing dominion. The three delegates said they went to London with instructions from their priests to return immediately if anything less than a full, immediate hnd responsible government was offered. ILLINOIS Republicans are anxiously waiting to learn whether United States District Judge James H. Wilkerson will run for governor of that state. So far he is silent. Recently Judge Wilkerson called on President Hoover and it is said the President urged him to go after the governorship. predicting his election. The jurist, it is reported, would prefer to remain on the bench and to accept his stated promotion to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. (®. 1»31. Western Newspaper Union.)
