WASHINGTON, Feb 32. Toe all
revealing inside on th London naval
conference funny-business lately Is
rs.r- conier-
prww -i ence lasted loo
jfc-r'yv3j long. At least
that is the polite
way the diplo
mats would de
scribe It. The
sailors have a
better word for
what happened.
They know the
United States, as
usual, got gypped.
The state de
partment will
PAUL MALLON never say so. but
certain statesmen In that department
wanted our delegation to come home
when the Japanese withdrew. The
navy, however, wanted to hang
around. The admiral desired to see
what the other powers (Britain.
France and Italy) would do.
The diplomats knew very weU what
they would do; namely, drag conces
sions out of us and then tangle the
conference up In European politics.
That Is what they always have done
That Is Just what they did this time.
This may explain to the perplexed
reader why both President Roosevelt
and Becreatry Hull found themselves
extremely busy with other matters
when the French ambassador brought
bis 35,000-ton battleship troubles to
them the other day.
It also explains aa nothing else
could, that International conference
history always repeats Itself.
No official statement will ever be
made about what happened on the
Inside at London, but you may accept
the following a aproxlmately cor-
rect:
The pet TJ. 8. cruiser Is the 10,000
ton ship. Our seadogs refused to
concede the British demand for a
limitation on this type at tha 1027
conference. It wrecked the conference
but saved the cruiser.
Nevertheless, the British got ua this
time into five-year limitation on
construction of that type of vessel,
and strongly against our will
The bait was a promise to forego
their Insistence on reducing the slie
of battleships from 35,000 tons. That
looked good to -us, because the 35.
000 -ton ship suits our navy. We
wanted particularly to avoid the pro
posed British reduction to a 25,000
ton limit. The deal looked like give-and-take
on a fair basis.
But aa soon as the take was accom
plished, to and behold, the French
suddenly began to pine and howl for
-of all ships on the seas-a 27,000
ton battleship limit, which was Just
about the thing the British had given
up. '
Now, no one will e7er be able to
prove that the French took up the old
evacuated British position because of
some secret understanding they had
with the Britisher. Nor will anyone
be able to disprove It to the satisfac
tion of some of our diplomats.
They have a deep suspicion, wheth
er true or not. that the British got
the cruiser concession out of us and
then Induced the French to fight the
battleship Issue for them.
On top of It all. the French started
dragging In European political dis
putes to such a flagrant extent that
Mr Davis had to object. Even Mr.
Hull found It necessary at a press
conference to say that the United
States went Into the conference to
discuss naval matters and nothing
else.
Among 130.000.000 people, only Sen
ator Vsndenberg la talking out loud
about the lost Issue of war debts.
However, the subject hsa lately arous
ed new unobserved Interest among
officials, certain top financial author
ities and even a couple of European
nations.
rinsnclal talk centers around the
advisability of eliminating this bar
rier to world trade and understand
ing. A good many authorities agree
that settlement would do more than
anything else to promote better busi
ness. Oeratin ni!ln secretly sent over
unofflclsl feelers for a 10 per cent
settlement before the lst Install
ment came due. Other similarly In
adequate feelers are reported to have
been made lately.
The trouble Is thst tli only prac
tical way to get them to pay any
thing substantial Is to lend them
twice as much as thev pay That de
prives the subject of Interest for most
authorities.
The coy figure of Postmaster Gen
eral Farley Is supposed to be vaguely
behind the new Ouftey ship bill. The
equally ehsdowy profile of commerce
Secretary Roper Is distinguishable be
hind the conflicting Copelsnd bill.
Not only this backstage disagree
ment of the giants, but certain other
equally Intangible things Indicate
that there will be no ahlp subsidy

Bruno Near Kidnap Scene
MIAMI. Fla., Feb. 22. (AP) At
torney General David T. Wllenta of
New Jersey said tonight he did not
believe Millard Whlted. Sourland
lumberjack, told Gov. Harold G. Hoff
man he had been promised a part of
the reward for the arrest and convic

"I am reliably Informed that Whlt

clared when asked to comment on

he questioned Whlted at Trenton, N.

"If the governor said that," added
Wllente. "I'm Inclined to believe he
misunderstood Whlted."
-Wilentz. who has been vacationing
here for three weeks, plans to return
to Trenton Monday. However, he
said his return had no connection
with the case of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, convloted of kidnaping
and slaying the Lindbergh baby.
TRENTON, N. J., Feb. 22. (AP)
Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, who tem
porarily saved Bruno Richard Haupt
mann from the electric chair a month
ago, cast doubt today on the testi
mony that placed Hauptmann near
Hopewell about the time of the Lind
bergh kidnaping, March 1, 1032.
At the conclusion of two hours of
questioning Millard Whlted. Soui
lands lumberjack, the governor said
It was "highly significant" that
Whlted once told police he had seen
no one near the Lindbergh home,
and then apparently reversed himself
when' Hauptmann was arrested two
and a half years lAter and ldentlflao
him.
The governor said Whlted told him
he had been promised a part of the
$35,000 reward, offered by the etate
for the arrest and conviction of the
kidnaper, bad received about 1160 Cor
appearing as a witness, and thought
more was due him. -,
"It would be very Interesting." tne
Governor said, "to know whether the
promise of the reward played some

CONCILIATION OF
WASHINGTON HELD
NEED OFPRESENT
Filene, Boston Merchant,
Sees Class War Unless
America Thinks Above
Traditions in Crisis.
SACRAMENTO. Cal.. Feb. 33. (AP)
Edward A Filene. Boston merchant
economist, declared here today that
the United States can avoid a class
war only through conciliatory policies
typified by George Washington.
"We will have It (class war) surely,"
Filene asserted In a' Washington
birthday address, "unless Americans
are able to think beyond their class
traditions."
Washington, tha speaker told a
California Credit Union league audi
ence, "did not permit bla class tra
ditions to control his thinking." He
said Washington conciliated bitter
factions after the revolutionary war
to lead the people to political democ
racy. Filene asserted that what he term
ed the present struggle for economic
democracy required the same sort of
conAllatlotr if itttf to be settled with
out violence.
The poll teal aristocrats of Wash
ington's day, Filene said, shuddered
"at the very thought of popular gov
ernment, and set up checks, Including
the supreme court.
"It Is sometimes remarked," be add
ed, "that the supreme court is not
exactly up to date. But that Is pre
cisely what the makers of our consti
tution intended. They Intended that
this branch of the government should
always be behind the times.
This Is not a criticism of the su
preme court, t mention It merely to
point out the precautions that were
taken to keep our government from
becoming too responsive to the popu
lar will."
Filene added, however, that "It would
be fnlrly easy today for the American
masses to overthrow the present eco
nomic oligarchy and In the des
peration of wholly unnecessary unem
ployment and poverty In the midst
of plenty, there Is always grave dan
ger that they will enact such unsound
measures as will destroy our finan
cial and bulsness system."
That, the speaker added, "would be
the greatest calamity which could
possible befall our people.
He urged "planned, co-ordinated,
nation-wide action" and asserted "In
this taste there need be no conflict
of Interests; for unless we are able
to achieve econnomlo liberty under
law and order, the only - alternative

U. S. NEUTRALITY
WASHINGTON. Feb. 33. (AP)
Directly Intimating Great Britain
was Involved, Senator Borah of Idaho
tonight charged that a campaign of
"Insidious propaganda" had been
conducted from abroad against
America's neutrality policy In the
Itali-KtbloplanC.war. ... i
In hla first formal speech since
openly avowing himself a Republi
can presidential candidate, Borah
confined himself almost entirely to
International lasucs. Hla Waahlng

a tenacious "aloofness from the pol
itical affairs and controversies of the
old world" aa advised by the first
president, wsa made the basis tor
meetings of "Bovah for President"
dubs In various parte of the coun
try. The Idahoan did not same Oreat
Britain directly In hla propaganda
charge. Nevertheless, after launching
this accusation that foreign Influ
ence had been directed against this
country's course In the Italo-Ethlo-plnn
conflict, he devoted a major
portion of his addreea to a sharp
discission of Britain's alma and ac
tions. Asserting that England had found
It to her Interest to remain neutral
"when Japan Invaded Manchuria,"
Borah contended that her . "national
interests" In the African war had
dictated a far from neutral policy.
"Oreat Britain , . , clothing her
strategy In the hablllmenta of hu
manity and peace," he said, "de
manded that the world, Including

fidence of a decisive triumph over
Ethiopia prevailed in Rome tonight,
and reliable sources said the alzo of
Italy's army would be reduced to lea

Many rumors circulated In the cap
ital. One that Emperor Halle Selas
sie waa ready to sue for peace thor
oughly waa discredited by responsible
officials, who pointed out that It
would be equivalent to signing his
death warrant by tha hands of one
of hla tribesmen.
A report from Brussels that Halle
Selasle was willing to add lea te for 13
years In favor of a League of Nations
mandate was given more credence, it
source was a newspaper Interview
with Colonel Ruel, Belgian military
adviser to the emperor, just returned
from Ethiopia.
Colonel Ruel said the emperor la
willing to let the league run his
country aa a protectorate against Ital
ian aggression for a definite period,
but was not considering direct nego
tiation with Italy.
"Negotiations with Italy would be
Impossible because my chieftains
would kill me," Colonel Ruel quoted
the emperor aa saying.
Another report waa that Ras Kassa,
one of the main Ethiopian command
ers on the northern front, had started
negotiations with the Italians for his
surrender on condition that he be
made governor of the Important Tern
blen region In the north.
The report that the Italian army
would be reduced by 000,000 men
who would be returned to farms and
Industry generally waa 'accepted as
true by the best Informed quarters,
despite an official denial. Foreign
military observers pointed out that
