Since the armistice, Hindenburg re-

keep his hands off politics.
The last straw was the futile
'beer cellar putsch" which brought
Ludendorff the public censure OF
the field marshal.
The chancellor will make another

Local Bankers Skeptic
Of Success for Coolidge
Building Loan Plans

Some skepticism was apparent to-
day In local financial circles over
the reported tentative plan report
ed opposed by President Coolidge
for the formation Of a banking or
building and loan association which
would furnish capital to builders
at a rate OF interest which would
enable them to construct apart
ments or homes at cost that
would insure reasonable" rentals.
It was pointed out by one Wash
ington banker that the fundamental
cause of the rent hardship now
faced by the Government employee,
the class which. It is evident. the
new proposal ID expected to relieve,
is not so much the increase in
tated higher rentals as 1t Is due to
the fact that the pay of the Gov
eminent employe has not been adj
vanced in the same ratio as has
that OF other classes Of workers.
Moreover, 1t is stated that much
Of the present higher cost Of build.
ing construction Is brought about
by other causes than that Of in
terest charges upon borrowed CAPT.
tai. Wages and material. it is de-
clared, have advanced even faster
than has the ratei Of interest upon
money required for building pur-
poses or for the purchase OF homes.
The opinion of several Washing
ton bankers, as expressed tuday,
was to the effect that there Is
ample money already available to
be loaned at reasonable rates upon
proper security, although, natural
~, none Is available for wildcat
investment. The proposed building
could not be a Gnarity institution
and It would. obviously, be forced
to operate along the same financial
lines as are adopted by any other
safe financial institutions.

half months we have waited vainly
for evacuation OF the Cologne zone.
We have repeatedly pointed out It
is untenable to accuse US OF treaty
violations and impose reprisals on
us without producing proof and
giving us a chance to disprove
or discuss.
Appeals TO Workers.
Evacuation Is not only Ger
man problem, but the whole
European situation ais by this fall
ure Of evacuation"
Luther started his speech by in
viting cooperation Of the Industrial
lists who were his audience to in
sure social, moral and political pro-
gress in Germany. He appealed to
the workers to assist in the face
Of hard facts by unity within their
ranks.
"The solution Of evacuation and
the security pact open the way tor
reconstruction in every respect, :"
he said. Evacuation Is an abso-
lutely separate matter and must
not be linked with the security
pact" he added Germany is IN
terested In protecting itself from
future attacks by peaceful nego-
tiations-more so since Germany
neither wants, nor is able to make
war.

Washington Sees End

No single development abroad IN

Without exception, Administra-

great forward step toward stabili-

and financially.
The Treasury declared the de-

important reconstruction step since
the adoption Of the Dawes plan.
The Department of Commerce
heralded it as an enormous stimu-

ticularly suited to Miss Gordon.
She was asked to read the, part
and play it if she liked.

1t was Miss Gordon's magnifi-
