BOlshevis1n Peril
Past, Hoover Says;
EuropeRecovering
Government Finance Alone
Degenerating, He Asserts;
Hopes Germany May Be
Saved by New Agreement

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE eco
nomic recovery of Europe, while neces-
sarily slow and difficult. is making sub
stantial progress, Secretary Hoover de-
clared in review Of international
trade conditions, made public tonight.
The situation contains great dangers" !"
he said, but it is mot at all as gloomy
as some statements would make 1t ap-
pear"
A survey of European conditions, he
said, twill show that the danger Of
Bolshevism is past" partly through
improved standards Of life and partly
through the salutary lesson to
Russia"
"The one field Of continuous de-
generation" he declared to be that of
government finance, citing as factors
unbalanced budgets and consequent
currency imitation" The commerce of
the whole world, the Secretary said,
suffers from this failure in government
finance, and unless remedies are found
the great recuperation effected in
social, political, industrial, agricul-
tural and commercial life will be en-
dangered.
The most dangerous Of the unbal-
anced imitation situations, Mr.. Hoover
said, is in Germany, whose case ''de-
pends upon the method and volume OF
reparation payments"
'sAs the United States does not par.
ticipate either in its control or it's re,
ceipts," he added, I'VE have no voice OIL
right to interfere. 1t is earnestly te
be hoped that the present negotis
tions upon reparation may succeed ir
finding sound basis that will secure
permanent economic and political sta
bility to Germany and certainty o.
regular payment to the Allies.
"Outside of the government finances
of limited number of states, the out
look is very encouraging. Democratic
institutions are gaining strength among
the 150000,000 people formerly sup
porting autocracies. In Russia itsel
extreme communism is slowly boiling

Meyer Committee Wants
More Money to Continue
Legislature, However, Is Ex-
pected to Refuse Funds to
Extend Inquiry

The next Legislature will be asked,
it was learned yesterday, to grant more
money to the Meyer investigating and
charter revision committee in order
that it may continue its work for an
other year. The 100000 fund of the
committee has been exhausted.
State Senator Schuyler NJ. Meyer,
chairman of the committee, wishes it
to continue its work and his friends
believe that a reorganization of the
committee would enable it to prosecute
its inquiry to the benefit of the city
1t is thought, however, that the Legis-
lature will turn down the request for
more money, thus ending the activities
of the committee.
The report which the committee will
submit to the Charter Revision Com
mission is almost completed.

D'Annunzio Said to Favor
Turk Rebels; May Visit Angora

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. IL (By The
Associated ress).-According to Ana
tolian newspapers received here, Ga
briele d'Annunzio, who has revealed
himself as an admirer OF the Turkish
Nationalist movement, is expected to
visit Angora next spring.
The Nationalists are wrought up over
the seizure of munitions and the cap
ture of Turkish officer on board an
Italian ship off Cephalonia, and also
over the assault committed against
5ekir Samy Bey, former Nationalist
Foreign Minister, by a mob of Greeks
In Piraeus. The Angora government
has made protests against these incl-
them.

producing state as picking it up and
setting 1t down 100 to 400 miles further
from the market. Agriculture is de-
pressed until the rates are lowered or
until population and industry shift to
meet this new condition"
With the heavy consuming popula-
ton of the country massed near the
Eastern coast, long distances from the
producing areas, Mr.. Wallace says, sub
stantial advances in the transportation
costs have the effect of imposing O Diff
ferential against American producers
in favor of their competitors in for
eign. lands: particularly those to the
south OF this country, who have the sd-
vantage of cheap water TRANSPORTATION.
The Agriculture Secretary thinks that
when the country finally emerges from
the present condition it will find itself
at the beginning of a new agricultural
era. Pointing to the large increase in
the countrys population and the fact
chat most of the easily cultivated land
has been taken up, he says the time is
not far distant when home needs will
require practically all that American
farms produce in the average year.
The department is planning to meet
these new conditions, Mr.. Wallace con-
tinuea, by strengthening certain phases
OF It's work, more especially the scien-
tliic research, the applications of the
result of research to farm practice,
more extended studies of marketing
farm crops within q view to reducing
costs, investigation of both produc-
ton and consumption at home and
abroad for the purpose of better ad-
jasting American production to market
needs, and studies looking toward max
ing available to the farmer those de-
vices of modern business which pro-
vide needed credit on easy terms, and
ton risks more cquitably
Reduced to Minimum
The amounts asked for this work in
the coming fiscal year have been "re-
duccd to the minimum the Secretary
says, adding that in the future the ap-
preparations should be increased just
as rapidly as needed.
In this connection Mr.. Wallace draws
attention to the advisability of Con-
gress granting permi for the COM
bining of Bureaus of Markets and
Crop Estimates and the Office of Farm
merged all the forces of the depart
ment that are engaged in agricultural
economic work.
Reviewing the work of the various
bureaus of the department, Mr.. Wal
lace says that during the last year
more improved roads were built under
the Federal aid road act than during
any similar period, the mileage com
pletod being more than three times as
great as the entire mileage completed
during the preceding years under the
act. Daring the fiscal ear 7,469 miles
of highways were completed and 1871
miles were under construction.
Under policy now being worked out
by the department, the Secretary says
it is estimated that the two national
forests in Alaska can furnish perpetu-
ally 100000 cords of pulp wood an
nually, amounting to an equivalent OF
one-third of the present annual con.
sumption in this country. Two large
sales already have been made, with
ore small mill erected, Mr.. Wallace
says, and with financial and industria
conditions returning to normal it is ex-
pected that there will be extensive de-
velopment along this line.

Hearing on Army Hangings'
May Be Postponed for Week

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Chairman
Brandegee, of the Senate committee in
vestigating charges by Senator Watson,
Democrat, of Georgia, that American
soldiers had been illegally hanged in
France, indicated to-day that public
hearings might be put over for a week.
Meanwhile, the committee will sift a
list of more than one hundred names
of prospective witnesses presented by
Senator Watson before determining
who to call. 1t is likely, however, that
a number of witnesses will be sum-
moned, with the prospect of an extended
hearing. Chairman Brandegee has an
nounced that the investigation will be
sweeping, although the committee feels
it's scope is limited to charges that SOL
diers were hanged without trial by
court martial.

HAYNES CAR PRICES

Kokomo, Ind, has outlined the

cording to factory officials, the list

Gas Consumption
Shows Strides
In Auto Field

The continued future growth OF
the auto industry Is indicated by
the constantly increasing use of
gasoline in motor cars, which seems
to assure an increased demand for
car requirements.
Even during a year when autopo-
bile sales dropped there has been
no slowing up in the demand for
gasoline for use in passenger cars.
In ten months of 1920 sS3,107.259
more gallons of gasoline were used
in the United States than during the
same period the year preceding.
This indicates an increase of 23.4
per cent for the total gasoline con-
sumption. Inasmuch as from rs to
so per cent of this total Is known
to be used for motor vehicles, II
gives definite assurance that there
has been a decided increase in the
use of motor cars. 1t follows that
greater use of cars also calls for
greater replacements, which for the
present year alone are estimated
as requiring nearly l,150,000. In
addition to this are the enormous
possibilities of future export busi-
ness as well as the growth in new
business to be developed in Amer
lea.
The authenticity of the above fig
ures is assured by their being sup
piled by the Bureau of Mines
which makes a monthly analysis of
shipments Of. gasoline by refiners to
jobbers, retailers, etc.

Normal Times
Returning in
Auto Market

An increase in production forces.
necessitated by the number of or
ders recently received, is announced
by the Haynes Automobile Com
pany, Kokomo, Ind. In one day
more than $50 men were placed on
the payroll. and the number is be-
ing augmented daily.
1--WE have noted a steady increase
in our business for some time
states Alton, G. Seiberling, vice
president and general manager Of
the Haynes cbmpany, "and in order
to- keep up with this growing de-
mand for Haynes cars, we have had
sto add materially to our working
forces in the factory.
This increase in the number Of
orders received is a sure indication
that the automobile industry is rap
idly returning to its normal basis.
OF course, in our own particular
case we attribute much of our pres
ent sales activity to the new
Haynes Fifty, the smaller and
HALTER Haynes six-cylinder, dye-
passenger touring car. This new
. car. (Which created such a sensa-
ton at the national automobile
shows, has aroused a remarkable
demand on the part of the motor
ing public, not only for the Haynes
Fifty, but also for the larger
Haynes cars. the models AZ and 4s.
lit Is my opinion that another
month will see a decidedly notice.

tomobile industry throughout the

panies viii find it necessary to en-
ploy large forces of men to accom-
modate the demand for automo-

According to figures compiled by
the Short Line Association, there

In the United States. Their average
length is 25.e miles; l1s are less
than Is miles long and 100 of these
are shorter than 10 miles.
II Is such cases as these that the
motor truck will be found more
