FOOD AND WORK
EUROPE'S NEED,
SAYS FINANCIER
Frank A. Vanderlip Declares
America Only Can Right
Exchange Situation.
EXPORTS MAY BE HIT
fCopyright 1920 by united Prress.)

Copyright, 1920, by United Press.)
NEW YORK, Feb. Crank A. Van
derlip, who first called attention to Eu-
ropes serious economic decline nine
months ago, declared in a statement to
the United Press today that the foreign
exchange situation can be righted and
Europe can be put on her feet only Ii
the, Europeans will go back to work.
But Europe can only do this, he said
If America viii supply her with fooc
and raw materials. The former head OF
the famous National City bank Of New
York added that America can easily un-
dertake the work Of rehabilitation. The
first step, he said. was the most I'M
portant, though it need not be a large
one.
"a billion dollars will go a very long
ways" Mr.. Vanderlip stated, ain start
lug Europe on the way to production
But, 1t must be a billion dollars spent
for food and raw materials. 1t must
not be q billion dollars spent on any
financial rehabilitation" he declared.
TENDS TO HIATT
OUR EXPORTS.
This is the first move necessary to
help the exchange rates recover. The
present decline IN exchange tends now
to halt our exports. It is conceivable
the halt might occur very sharply. To
considerable extent ships are now
going to Europe without full cargoes,
Last year we exported eight billion dol
lars worth of goods, and the trade bal
ance IN our favor was four billions. In
prewsr days a trade balance of $780,.
600, 600 for rs was about the top figure
These figures indicate that If the halt,
ing Of our exports goes far enough it
viii result in a jar that win pile up
cotton, agricultural products, and to
some extent, manufactured goods. l do
not believe such a situation would re-
suit in any serious Unemployment for
us. There might be some thrown out
of work while process of readJustment
went on, but very little hardship would
follow. Our consuming capacity IS
greatly In excess Of our present produc-
tIon.
1T is rather psychologically that we
should feel n continuation of the present
decline in exchange The situation now
facing US means the people on the other
side are unable to pay for what they
vttally need and their economic life has
become disorgantzed. Economic disor-
ganization in Europe must have an un-
favorable influence to our own affairs
II OYER there political disorders oc-
CURED, they would effect our thoughts
here. Just as we have a considerable
public opinion sympathetie- to Russia, Sc
might there be a body sympathetic to
any political disorders in Europe. An
increase in radical thought in America
would he engendered by radical politi-
cal movements in Europe. The presert
situation Is creating ldleness and hunger

Yankee Girl in
Paris Cafe as
Bandits Rob 1t

PARIS. Feb. 6.-Miss Donls Gaulthier
of the Majesty hotel New York City,
was robbed of a 800 diamond ring IN
n sensational raid on an exclusive early
morning dancing place by ten young
bandits dressed in evening CLOTHES.
Miss Jean Sawyer, we'll known Amer
ican actress, and her dancing partner,
Jack Gavin, had left the place just half
an hour before the bandits arrived.
All Of the guests were compelled to
surrender all their money and jewelry. A
French actress was compelled at the
point Of a revolver to sing for the bene-
ct of the youthful raiders after which
they took her $4,000 fur coat.
REAL NEGRO JAZZ
BAND PLAYING.
The dancing place is located in the
Rue Berlioz. 1t consists Of three big
rooms, gorgeously furnished with ori-
entail tapestries. 1t .as for years been
the gathering place of ultra fashionable
men and women and actresses. Although
the police had closed up most Of the
dance halls and forbidden the sale Of
wine after hours, the scene of the raid
had been able to escape detection.
The Rue Berlioz dancing place boasted
a real American negro jazz orchestra and
the after midnight" reVelerS pald Slo
bottle for their champagne.
1t was just o'clock in the morning
when ten we'll groomed youths entered
the main room and ordered champagne.
After drinking they danced for half an
hour. Suddenly one Of them blew a
whistle and all drew revolvers, ordering
the patrons to line up against the wall.
FORCED TO RUN,
LEAVING SOME LOOT.
Miss Gaultier, who was accompanied
by a Cincinnati TO- business man, whose
name could not be ascertained, Joined
the group before the menacing pistol
barrels. There was no excitement and
the bandits were very police, with the
exception of one, who was slightly in
toxicated. He suggested that all of the
girls remove their garters and hand them
over as souvenirs. Some Of the bolder
ones protested that their stockings would
come down and they could not dance any
more. The bandits picked out two Of
the prettiest girls and forced them at the
point of the pistol to remove their gar
others when lookout" blew signal
and all ran into the street, where they
tried to bundle inba~ an automobile. The
cloakroom girl, who escaped through
window, turned in a police alarm and
two of the youths were captured before
the motor car got under way. They had
only small amount Of booty on them.

Not Revolution
Ohio Governor, Candidate for
Presidential Nomination,
Addresses Editors.

Evolution and not revolution viii save
the future of civilization, Gov. James N.
Cox of Ohio, candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for president. told
members Of the Indiana Democratic Edi-
toriaI association and several hundred
others who attended a banquet at the
Claypool hotel last night.
"If you keep the fires of evolution
burning there need never be fear Of revo-
luton" he said.
In commenting on the speech Of Mrs.
Idah McGlone Gibson, who proceeded
him, Gov. Cox said that If the women
Of Indiana could have voted in 1915 In
diana would have cast her vote for
Woodrow Wilson
Gov Cox demanded that the laws of
the state should be changed IN order that
no one may vote who is not a citizen.

to be held by groups Of aliens" he
asked.
WANTS TAGGART To
RUN FOR SENATE.
At this point he referred to Thomas
Taggart, who was sitting beside him
expressing tbs hope that he would be
sent to the United States senate This
statement was the signal for wild DEM

mentioned several times previously and
on every OCCASION it brought an out
burst Of cheers.
"No matter who is nominated for
president we viii give the republicans

to win and we will win" he said
In referring to republican campaign
plans he said that a larger campaign

fore November the story win be told
Of what happened In Michigan and VIII
Hays viii regret his plans for q great
campaign fund" he said.
1--WE will assume responsibility for
everything which was done by the demo-
cratic administration" he continued.
Haste and time were the very essence
Of the war. At the outset republicans
held up the first appropriation bill for
seven weeks TO write into It a provi-
sion that Roosevelt should be sent to
France. They said that if Pershing was
sent the administration would hamper
him in the carrying out Of his ideas
Gen. Pershing told me that never in
history had any general been given
the sympathetic cooperation that was
given him by the administration.
HOW U. S.
MADE GOOD.
"If any American Of military impor-
tance was kept in America during the
war 1t was at the express wish of Gen.
Pershing. I know whereof I speak If
one of the present republican candidates
is nominated 1t will be fitting to abolish

place It with sore military thumb

LONDON. Feb. Lord Beaverbrook.
chief owner Of the London Daily Express,
which has been making violent attacks
against the United States, issued an ex-
elusive statemnet to the Internationa
News Service today declaring that he
has been out of touch with London for
two months and that he did not inspire

The statement IN fun follows:
"Returning from the south Of France

Yes, business is picking up at the
Union station.
The figures show an amazing growth
in the money spent for railroad fares by
indianapolis citizens and transients dur
ing the last six years.
While the~tncrease in the number Of
tickets sold for 1919 over 1918 seems
slight in view of the great increase In
receipts tht1 is easily explained.
In 1918, for short period, trains car
ried many persons unable to use street
cars because of the tieup due to the
strike. This traffic is included in the
report for that year.
But at that there has been gain of
approximately 100000 in the number Of
tickets purchased.
The big increase in the receipts, to a
great extent, too, is due to the fare in
crease.
