SEEKS CONTROL
OF FRENCH Cash
BANKERS PLAN CONTROL OF
EUROPEAN FINANCES.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Secret
conferences in London between Gov
ernOr Strong of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and MOntagu
Norman, head of the Bank of Eng
land, with NJ. Parmentier, financial
representative of the French govern
ment, indicate the development of
the most gigantic scheme of money
imperialism in the history of the
world.
Serve France "Ultimatum."
Cable dispatches from London, des-
cribing the negotiations between
these three men, have reported that
Strong and Norman agreed in serv-
ing on Parmentier an "ultimatum"
as to the terms which France must
meet before she can stabilize her cur
rency and get loans from the Ameri<
can and British bankers. Experts in
Washington who knows the attitude
of the Federal Reserve Board mem
bers and are familiar with Secretary
Melons hopes for future American
control of European finance, declare
that the maneuver is as dangerous
to the American workers as was the
de1atlon operation of the board, in
1920, to the American farmers.
In substance, the scheme now I'M
der discussion in London appears to
be one by which the French govern
ment would hand over to the Ameri-
can enterprise, the control of French

in the London negotiations. In
Washington this fact is interpreted
as meaning that he was called in to
explain to the French spokesman the
way in which a Dawes scheme could
be applied to France with destroy
ing her national dignity.
Seek Control of Europe.
Back of France, in the bankers
plan for re-establishing the gold
standard in Euorpe, are the satellites
of France, Poland, Roumania, Czecho-
Slocakia, Yugo-Slavia and the small
Baltic states. IF American and Brit
ish banks can take charge of French
finances, and thereby indirectly gain
control of French policy, why can
not they do the same with the rest of
the continent? Consolidation of the
financial problem of all of Europe

finance. The gold standard would
be re-estabished, thereby putting an
end to imitation. Frances internal
debt would be largely wiped out, by
issuing new bonds in payment for
the existing deprecated ones, on a
basis of current market value. The
effect of sterilization in Germany,
Britain and other countries which
was to cause widespread unemploy-
ment and a reduction in the standard
of living, would be expected to fol-
low In France. The buying. power
Of the French people would be seri-
ously crippled for a time, particular
ly since the holders of her huge in
ternal debt would be impoverished,
and the American export market in
France would suffer.
Then American loans would flow

to France to be administered under
regulations dictated from America
and London. American money would
be invested in France, and American
power, as expressed in American
policy, would be invoked to maintain
existing French sovereignty as a
means of safeguarding these invest
ments. Moreover, the war debts, for
which the settlement pact has been
signed and is soon to be ratified IN
Paris, would be used as an excuse
for regarding the territorial integri-
ty of the French republic and its col
onial empire as a matter OF concern
to America.

/ First of the five states to nominate
a senator was South Dakota. The adj
ministration had a 100-percent Cool
/ ldge candidate against Sen, Norbeck,
who had been running in and out of
I the progressive group. NOrbeck was
nominated. He has voted more con-
sistently for the administration since
that time; doubtless he wants Cool
/ idge help, in campaign funds, in the
I fall campaign. But how Norbeck will
/ talk if CumminS is eliminated by
+ Brookhart, and if Sen. Nye is renom-
mated in North Dakota against the
administration candidate up there,
may be a different thing.
As an inducement to careful thOt
by Republican candidates, in this mat
\ ter of Slush funds, the Democrats
and progressives rushed through the
Senate on the day following Peppers
defeat a resolution calling for inves-
tigatiOn of corruption and expendi-
lures and collections in the senatorial
primaries of this year. Reed of Mis-
souri,, King of Utah, McNary of Ore
gon, Golf of West Virginia and La
/ Toilette of Wisconsin make up the
special committe which will examine
witnesses and study the finances of
all candidates and party committees.
They will go into the Pennsylvania
collections and expenditures first, but
the huge sums reported to have been
raised to defeat Nye in North Dakota
and Brookhart in Iowa will get early
attention also.
Later in the season there will be
probe of expenditures for Butler in
Massachusetts, in view of the fact
that he is chairman of the Republi-
can national committee. Illinois
fight is to be examined, and Mis-
sOuri's Republican and Democratic
machines viii be invited to tell on
each other. Such, at any rate, is the
/ present program.

WASHINGTON LETTER
BY Lawrence Todd

By Lawrence Todd
Washington-(FP)-Two more Re-
puohcan states have rejected Cool
loge and Mellon This makes four
out OF flve that have spoken In the
senatorial primaries thus far. The
next 70 speak viii be Iowa on June
. North Dakota on June 80, and Kan
Sas' Missouri and Oklahoma on Aug.
8 with Kentucky registering its pri-
mary choice Aug. z. In none of these
states, with the possible exception Of
Kansas, do the prospects favor the
administration.

against Coolidge.
Oregon, too, has spoken. Sen, STAN
field, hard-boilded adherent of the ad-
ministration, has followed the trail
of humiliation already trOd by Nc
kinley in Illinois and by Pepper. Bert
Haney, whom Coolidge tried to force
out of the Shipping Board because
he would not take orders from the
White House, has won the Democrat
ic nomination, apparently, and is rat
ed as having good chance to de-
feat Steiwer, the Republican nominee,
in November. But regardless of the
November decision, the scrapping of
Stanfield by the Republicans of Ore
gon removes one more of the Newber-
ry-Mellon-Daugherty standpatters, as
the late Sen. La Toilette predicted
they would be removed.
Jim Watson has been renominated
in Indiana, it is true. He did not val
ne the support of Coolidge, and did
not seek it He had his own person
al organization, drilled In every trick
of the political game which is cult
waited in Indiana as fakerism is devel-
oped in India. Watson had the Khan
supporting him on the one hand and
the Negro and Catholic leaders on
the other, with big business busy all
along the line. Brazen, synical, jov-
ial, all things to all men and ready to
laugh first when his political efffront-
cry is unmarked, Watson is renomi-
mated by his own efforts, and affords
no comfort to Coolidge in time OF
storm.

Four of the men were arrested at the
Cedarhurst Inn west of Sand Lake,
near Troy, by postal inspectors. Three
were arrested here and the eighth was
arrested in his home at Delmar.
Postal Inspector Charles H. Clarahan,
who directed the investigation that led
to the arrests, said the eight were sus-
pected of the theft of "half million"
in stamps in various cities, and also Of
postoffice and bank robberies in three
states.
The men were described by the inves-
tigators as burners" the term being
applied because of their use of acety-
slene torches to gain entry into banks
and postoffice safes
Those arrested at the inn were

ALL 43 MINERS
RESCUED, ONCE
MORE IN HOMES


IRONWOOD, Mich, Sept. 30.-(AP)-
The privacy of their homes today en-
veloped the 43 miners rescued yester-
day after five days entombment in the
G. Pabst iron mine following cave-in
which killed three of their comrades
and shut them off from the world.
All of the men who spent last night
in a hospital were discharged today.
The community jubilation which fol-
lowed their rescue gave way tonight
to fireside thanksgiving. Most of the
men are married Sunday the city will
Join in a public service to give thanks
for their deliverahce from death in the
murky depths of the mine. The men
were in fine spirits as they left the
hospital and their physical condition
was vouched for by DR.. H. A. Pinker'
ton who, with several other physicians
gave them medical attention last night
and today There was, however, a
touch of sadness in the celebration OF
the miners return, for the drama which
all but terminated tragically for them
bereft three families of their heads.
The survivors with a few exceptions
slept soundly last night-their first in
six days between white sheets Today
they joked with each other and told
stories of the gallant effort which they
had made to bore their way out of their
involuntary prison.
