MORROW RAPS
USING FORCE TO
COLLECT DEBTS
Ambassador to Mexico Is
Foe to War For Financ-
ial Reasons.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27, P)-The
Evening Post says today that Dwight
w. Morrow, recently appointed am
bassador to Mexico, has revealed him
self as a foe of wars which have
the collection of debts as their mo-
tive
In an interview with the leading
partner in the financial house OF
J. P. Morgan & Co., the Post quotes
Morrow as saying:
It is apparently believed by some
that loans to foreign governments
made by our citizens throw upon our
government the responsibility of US
ing the armed forces of our govern
ment for the purpose OF collecting
the debt.
"The establishment of the princi-
pie that nations are justified in go
ing to war where the sole issue is
the collection of debt would be
not only most hllrtful to the nation
at large, but in the long run would
prove injurious to the property in
tereSts of the bankers who sell and
the investors who buy foreign gov
ernment loans.
entirely apart from the imn1or-
ality of putting human lives to the
hazard of modern war where the
sole issue is a pecuniary claim there
is a conclusive practical reason
against such course in that wal
in the great majority of cases does
not and cannot accomplish the de-
sired result

Anaconda Witnesses Tes-
tify Siemens Furnace
Antedates Carson.

Many Experts Give Evil
dence of Practicability of
+ Older Method.

4 UCSON, Sept. 27 R)-Employes OF
the Anaconda Copper Mining company
which operates the worlds largest
smelter at Anaconda, Mont, testified
today on behalf of the defense in the
patent infringement suit Of the Car
son Investment company against the
Phelps Dodge corporation and the
Calumet and Arizona Mining company
The plaintiff is asking for an account
ing for royalties, which, if allowed
may amount to several millions of dol
lars.
Charles r. Wrath, assistant general
superintendent at the Anaconda re-
duction works, testified that the sic
mems furnace, relied upon the defense
as anticipating" and therefore in
validating the Carson patent, hao
shown a Campaign or "life" of Il
possible months as against the usual
eight months of other reverbratory
furnaces used by the Anaconda.
The metallurgist told of experiments
made with a Siemens furnace from
January /, 1926 to August l., 1926, for
the purpose of establishing that the
iSiemenS furnace was practicable
Wrath told of ordering an entire wall
of one of the Siemens furnace torn
down and rebuilt, SO as to correct an
error in which there was failure to
follow the Siemens specifications.
Charles S. Wheeler, Jr., chief coun-
sci in charge of the plaintiffs case
cross examined Wrath at some length
regarding other deviations from the
Siemens drawings which, it was stated
had occurred in rebuilding the Ana
conda experimental Sien1ens furnace
and which, Wheeler said, had not beer
corrected. Wrath said that those
deviation were "unimportant."
Thomas O'Donnell, skinner en-
ployed by the Anaconda, also testified
regarding the experimental SiemenS
furnace. Asked by H. A. Elliott, OF
Bisbee, chief counsel for the defense
whether the furnace was down fol
repairs at any time while the witness
was on Shift O'Donnell emphaticallJ
replied that it was not.
The Siemens furnace is operative
for the fusion and reduction of copper
and other metallic ores and the pro-
duction of STEEL" according to Hugh
j. Mcguire, metallurgist and assistant
superintendent of the Anaconda re-
duction works.
Mcguire stated that he had moi

permit the leyying of an additional
duty of SO per cent or even in some

 Before leaving he expressed the opinion that Al Smith will never make it," and dismissed evolution with a deprecatory gesture. An swering the question as to what he thought of Governor Smiths presi- dential chances, he declared:
 Being a Catholic or Protestant has no effect on a president dis. charging his official duties. But Smith is all Tammany and will never make it."
