l may say without eXaggeration
that the regeneration of all eastern
Europe now depends on American
initiative. I heartily endorse Mr..
Hoover's plan of assisting credit by

I am not trying to sell n stock; l
am only giving the results of close
observation in Austria. Slovakia and
Poland. With the Austrian crown,
for instance. worth today only one
eighth OF its pre-war value, Ameri-
can or British capital could secure
the controlling interests of Austrian
and Polish corporations by paying
the price of deprecated shares in
terms of raw materials.
Already certain Austrian manufac-
turers have put Italians and French
men on their board of directors in the
hope of securing an international
status and outside capital. I believe
a British -American holding company
with ample capital could at this mo-
ment+ reap tremendous advantage in
Austria, Poland and Bohemia and
start a flow of exports which would
begin the restoration of money values.

OSCAR AAnMERSTEIN
DIES AT LEN0X HILL

New York, August Oscar Ham:
mersteln died at 1875 o'clock tonight
at the Lenox Hill hospital. Of a com-
plication of diseases.
With him were his wife and son.
Arthur, but he was unable to recog-
nize either of them. Mrs. Hammer
stein had been almost constantly at
his bedside since he was removed to
the hospital last Saturday. Mr.. Ham
merstein's right side became paralyzed
on Tuesday and on the same day he
lapsed into a coma from which hs
never recovered.
The death Of Mr.. Harmerstein
marks the passing of one of Americas
most picturesque personalities. For
years he had been the stormy petrei
OF grand opera management not only
in the United States. but also in
Europe. lie was a man of varied
talents and possessed of a temper
ment as erratic as that of any Of his
numerous operate stars.
AS a d~iscoverer and developer Of
new singers he had few equals, and
his contentious i'll and out of court
with some of those artists have fur
nished newspapers with volumes of
entertaining reading matter.
Hammerstein was born in Berlin in
l847 and came to the United States
in 1868. having run away from home
after his father had beaten him for
some trihing offense His first occl-
patton was that OF cigarmaker. After
ward he blossomed out as an inventor
and he often hoasted that he held
more than 100 patents. He was
editor of a tobacco trade paper for
sometime.
Shortly after his arrival in this
country he wrote three one-act come
dies in German and had them pro-
duced here in 1865. In 1870, he be-
came the lessee of the Stadt theater
and soon thereafter built his first
theater, the Harlem opera house.
Others followed in rapid succession
until he had a dozen or more houses
to his credit.
1t was in 1905 that he invaded the
field of grand opera by opening the
Manhattan opera house. This was
followed by the Philadelphia opera
house in 1905. Two years later he
sold all his opera interests in New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia and
Boston TO f, r. S~totesbury, OF Phila-
delphia. representing the Metropoii-
tan Opera company of New York for
81. 0 900.
J. London was the next neld for Ham
rrerstein's operations. There hs
built the London opera house in the
very shadow of the famous Covent
Garden. but the venture was not a
complete success and Oscar returned
to New York in 1912.
Some years ago Hamrnerstetn said:
Il expect to live to see the time
when every city of considerable size
in the United States will have a house
of its own for tho production OF the
best operas, with the best singers to
be procured. Opera houses should be
built with some regard 70. the needs
and desires OF the common people"
