10 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON MONDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1931 Hitler To Tell World Germany Cannot Pay Reparations Indemnity (Copyrijrht 1931, by United Press) Munich, Germany (U.R) Adolph Hitler, leader of an "army" of 200,000 picked men sworn to obey him, proclaim ed Monday that when he comes to power in Germany which he confidently predict he will do vithin a few months he will tru the world that Berm&ny can no longer pay reparation. 6uch a threat, made In an ex elusive United Press interview with the man universally rewarded aa the rising "Mussolini'' ol Germany, was the first and most sinking impres sion the correspondent received on a tour through the main centers of the country, seeking a cross-section of German thought and activity. Even in a preliminary view of the German scene, it was manifest ev erywhere that the belligerent faclst leader, with his policy of Intense nationalism, Is obtaining adherents by the thousands. resardle of his apparently extravagant claims. Hitter, who confidently expects to become the ruler of Germany within few months, and who although he Is not even a German citizen, claims support of 15.000,000 German voters, to supreme commander of the vast un-armed fascist "army." "My personal belief," he said, "is that If the world is sensible, It will suspend reparations tomorrow to 'jert the ruin of the entire world economic system. "The profits from reparations have brought prosperity to France, but the ruin of the German econ omic system will go around the world. I predicted the present situ ation years avo but I was howled down by the press. They said Owen D. Young (American author of the Young plan) must know more about banking than Hitler. Now they have found that Young was wrong and Kilter was right. "If I were In power, I would tell the world that Germany cannot pay reparations. I would tell the voriti the facts and let the world Investi gate " "International finance." Hi!r aid, "has iKnorcd the niw-t primi tive laws for Its preservation.

INCENDIARY FIRE LOSS 2 MILLION DOLLARS IN 1930 Incendiarism was responsible for at least 2,074.M1 of Oregon's fire lose during 1930. "Conservative and experienced actuaries and statisticians estimate that at least 50 per cent of the fires classified as 'cause unknown' are due to incendiarism," the 14th an nual report of state fire marshal A. H. Averlll revealed. Because of world-wide economic conditions, the moral hazard Is abnormally prom inent now in fire loss experience. "Despite arson being one of the most difficult of crimes to prove, the arson department activities branch has concluded a creditable record." Out of 151 fires reported for in vestigation, an Increase of 28 over 1929. 6 4 per cent convictions were obtained in the cases presented. Ar son Investigation was put into the nands of the elate police August 1, 1931. Incendiary fires for last year, ac cording to the marshal's report, numbered 1,758. Per cent of loss to values involved was 17. Arson mas responsible for 26 per cent of the total state fire lass of nearly $8,000, 000 but was definitely proved In only $:w.001 of the total loss. Other principal causes of fires listed in the report are matches and careless smokers resulting In (1,007, 931 loss, overheated defective stoves, chimneys, etc. $1,053,766, and spon taneous combustion $1,053,766.

Fire Demon Claims 36 Lives, And Damage of $7,979,666 In A Year Oregon's fire loss during 1!)30 amounted to $7,979,666 in property damage, 86 deaths and 103 persons injured. State Fire Marshal Averill pointed out in his annual report released Saturday. 6.755 fires last vear re- suited in 173 cent greater property loss than during 1929. Despite the increase 1930 was four per cent un der the annual loss average from 1923 to 1929. Twenty-three Injuries and deaths were listed for Portland in the re port. Remaining casualties were rather evenly distributed. "An advance In fire protection ef ficiency In the state is evinced by a ratio of 7.2 per cent in losses to val ues involved for 1930 as compared to 8.1 per cent for the seven year average" Averlll said. An alarming increase in losses to hot ashes, greases, tar, etc., petrol eum and its products and progres sively less Important causes down to electricity and defective wiring, es timated at causing $177,715 loss. Marion county s principal lire tax during 1930 was in farm dwellings and contents given aa $47,393.05 of the county total amounting to $219,- 120.57. Unknown causes resulted In $112,- 100.23 loss to the county with the largest known cause of fire being from petroleum and its products re sulting In $26,058.07 worth of dam- ape. farm and rural properties is em phasized. "Losses to farm properties alone, amounting to $996,675 In 1930 repre sent an increase of 6.7 per cent over 1929, 403 per cent over 1925 and 24.2 per cent in excess of the aver age from 1924 to 1929, Averill said. "Other farm fires amounted to $3, 583,586, bringing the rural loss to 44.9 per cent of the entire state." "The farm fire per capita loss In 1930 amounted to $19 98 or some $72 per average family of 3.6 persons. For the entire state. It was $8.38 per person. To illustrate the com para tve magnitude of the fire 'tax', during 1930 the state government per capita levy was but $7.12. for roads $7.19, county school and library and high school tuition $4.93 and county gov ernment $4.45, "Percentages of losses to values involved In city fires where ad vanced protection facilities were available was only 8 9 per rent. The farm property fire loss ratio was 53.6 per cent, giving ample evidence of the value of fire protection.
