HOME OF SHAKESPEAR
ATTRACTS U. S. TOURISTS

London, April S.-"Stratford-On-
Avon is the mecca of the American
tourist. In order to attract visitors
from the other side to England we
must keep the Shakesperean country
inviolate. We must not alter its
character any more than is absolute
ly necessary"
Sir Martin Conway, M. p, made
this appeal to the inhabitants of the
famous village where the great Eng
lish bard was born. He declared that
American tourists would spend $780,
100000 in Britain and France this
summer, and said that Stratford-On-
Avon was the keystone of the tourist
industry.
Proposals have been made by man
ufacturers to erect mills on the River
Avon, near the village. According to
lovers of Shakespeare this would i'm
mediately detract from the attractive
ness of the town.

HOOVER SAYS HE'S
NOT A DEMOCRAT
Cares Only For Republican Nominal
ton Tells Chairman
OF Club

New York, April An a state
ment, which he requests Capt. j. F.
Lucey, chairman of the Hoover Ma
tional Republican Club, to send to
all Hoover Clubs throughout the
country, Herbert Hoover made it
clear today that he is not a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
President, by expressing the hope
that he would not be further embar-
raised by the suggestion of political
ly Independent supporters that his
name be put before any other party
than the Republican Party
Mr., Hoover disapproved of the sug-
geste@ contests. for delegates to the
Republican National Convention in
States where such a course still is
open. He declared that his friends
could not at this late date build up
an organization for him which could
compete successfully with the or
CARNATIONS of other candidates and
expressed belief that energies of his
supporters could be better applied to
promotion of their views generally
and to influencing of delegates alrea-
dy named, with full respect to prior
pledges of the latter.
Mr.. Hoover indicated that he was
opposed to expenditure of any large
amount of money to promote his can
didacy and that he wished the amount
of contributions to the different
Hoover organizations and names Of
the contributors made public.
81 presume that the varius clubs
that have been formed over the coun-
try will need to expend a certain
amount of money on printing and 9TH
err incidentals," he said, "but l trust
that each and every one of them Will
confine itself to minor subscriptions
and minor expenditures and will be
prepared to open its books to public
inspection"
Mr.. Hoover reiterated that he was
a Republican and said he had no apol-
ogy to make for supporting Demo-
cratic administration while he was
engaged in war service. He said
necessity of earning a living away
from his home had prevented him
from taking as large a part as he
might have wished in party and pub
lie affairs, and asked his adherents
to remember that personal criticism
of other candidates for the Republi-
can nomination was chiefly of SER
vice to the opposition.

NATIONAL DEBT is
CUT $705, $50, 900
Record Reduction Made During
March; Success OF Treasury
Program Seen.

Washington, April "A reduc-
ton of sos, 100000 in the national
debt-more than double the amount
by which the debt was lowered dur
ing any previous month-was accom-
plished during March, the treasury
reported tonight. The national debt
now stands at S24,69S, 100000.
Officials said this record could not
be used as a basis for forecasting fur
Their monthly reductions. They re-
garded it, however, "as sound evil
dence" of the success of the treasury
program from financing the postwar
period, when government Expenditures
still continue to run high. March
payment on the public debt was con-
fined almost wholly to retirement OF
certification of income and profit
taxes.
Reductions by months since Au-
gust, when the retirements began,
were: October, SIS, 700; Novem-
Der, S94,47S,000; December S27S,-
1000; January S,639,000, and
February, S264,O57, 900. Heavy pay
ments on the debt in December and
February both were traceable to the
retirement of certificates of indebted
ness, but the amount of obligations
retired each month altho fluctuating,
has been on the increase.
Future monthly reductions will
hinge largely on new appropriations
and tax legislation, officials said.
They expected, however, that opera
ton of the sinking fund would re-
fleet more and more on the gross ma
tional debt each month hereafter.
None would venture a prediction as
to the net reduction for the calen-
dar year.

Measures To Be Rushed thru Con-

Washington, April 2.-Legislation
repeating all the war laws which ter
minated with the end of the war will
be rushed through Congress, if the
resolution declaring peace with Ger
many fails by reason of presiden-

leaders in the House today when it
was learned that the Democratic lead
ers are exerting great pressure ON
their forces in an effort 20 line them
up solidly against the peace measure.
The chief object of the peace reso-
luton, it was pointed out, is to get
the country back on normal basis,
and if the Democrats block this meth
cd, specific repeal legislation will be
taken up Immediately.
The proposed repeal measure also
would include a pivotal date for de-
termining the termination of the
statutes which run for various pc

nowadays as rare, highly priced varie-
ties an so fetch fancy prices. For ex-

He had occupied this office only a

friends persuaded him to make the
race for the unexpired term of Sheriff
to which he was easily elected. He
was honored with reelection seven,
different times and served the peo-
pie in this important office for fiji
teen consecutive years. Then Mr..
Anderson declined reelection and re-
tired to private life. He cast his
lot among the people of Hoaston and
