PERSH|NG TO SAIL
TO INSPECT GRAVES
Will Receive Honorary N. Y.
U. Degree Before Leaving
for France Saturday.
BY WILLIAM RUFUS SCOTT.

Gen. John j. Pershing is sailing
Saturday morning on the Leviathan for
France for a periodic inspection Of the
work of marking the graves of Ameri-
can soldiers buried there. He will be
gone two months or longer.
Before boarding the liner tomorrow
night for an early start Saturday, Gen.
Pershing will be given the unusual
honor of the honorary degree Of doc
tor of military science" by New York
University. The ceremony of bestowal
will take place tomorrow by special ar
rangement to conform to the generals
sailing date.
This is the first such honor given by
this university and will add still another
distinction to the many already Con-
ferred upon the commander in chief of
the American Expeditionary Forces
during the World War and since by
this and many other nations.
Cemeteries Beautified.
Gen. Pershing will be in France when
the first contingent Of Gold Star moth
ers arrives on the series of pilgrimages
to the graves of their sons buried In the
American cemeteries. The part Gen.
Pershing may play, If any, in welcoming
the mothers, some of whom Will go
from Washington and nearby Virginia
and Maryland, is not announced. His
duties as head of the Battle Monu-
mentS Commission will govern his
movements to some extent.
While the work of marking the graves
with a permanent identification is not
completed, it has gone ahead steadily
and the war mothers will find the
cemeteries generally in beautiful condi-
ton, with the expectation that they Will
be satisfied with the provision by the

United States Government for the
maintenance of the graves and their
environments.
1t is expected that this visit will give
Gen. Pershing still further opportuni-
ties to collect. or revise, data about the
war and his part in 1t, as well as the
part of the American Army, for the his
tory of the war. or his memoirs, which
he is now writing. Recent books by
Clemenceau and views credited to Mar
shall Foch. as well as prospective auto
biographies by Foch and other war
leaders. lend special interest and signifi-
canoe to any contribution Gen. Per-
shing makes to the knowledge Of the
inside facts of the war;
The spirited post-,nortem controversy
between Marshal Foch and Clemenceau
over the issue of an individual Ameri-
can Army, for which Gen. Pershing
successfully fought, is likely to be the
part of Gen. Pershing's forthcoming
memoirs which will receive the most
careful attention. But there is as yet
no indication whether Gen. Pershing
will allow his memoirs to be published
during his lifetime.

Current disturbances and unrest in
Latin America are due primarily 10
economic rather than political causes.
This is the view expressed privately
by statesmen in the National Capital.
The fact that political animosities
have been largely absent is substan-
tiated by the lack of bloodshed which
has attended the changes in admin
istration in some of the South American
countries
Men IN close touch with the situation
believe that Latin America, encouraged
in recent years by the general pros
perity throughout the world and by
the high prices paid for their products,
expanded beyond all reason. and their
programs were far too extensive for
their finances. When the recession
came, attended by a check to indus
trial production, 1t was necessary TO
curtail these programs.
This meant an increase in unemploy-
ment, general dissatisfaction and un-
rest. Immediately citizens began TO
express dissatisfaction with the way the
situation had been administered and
changes resulted.
The expansions were not confined to
governmental work alone. The State;
and municipalities had most ambitious
programs for development and improve
ment, and as long as they could secure
the money to finance these develop

OVERBORROWING HELD CAUSE

ments little dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed. When, however, funds began
to run short and leans became impos-
sible to secure the unrest became acute.
Brazil is said by international IMAM
ciers to have hopelessly overborrowed.
Many OF the experts fear it will be a
long period of years before the country
will be able to pay the debts already
incurred. Most of these loans were
floated many years back with the aid
of British capitalists, but in the last
10 years large part Of the funds
have come from the New York money
market.
In 1872. American loans to Brazil
totaled 10000, 900 and they were
increased in 1928 by SIS, 5000 900.
There was sharp drop after
this period, owing to the feeling
that the country had overborrowed,
and the last loan put on the market,
which was for sos, 900, 900. was not re-
garded as a success. 1t is asserted by
foreign flnanciers that the American
public took only is per cent of the
Offering
The money loaned to Brazil has not
always gone into the channels which
were expected to carry 1t. For example,
loan Of $25,000,000 was secured TO
provide for the electriflcation OF the
Sac Paulo Railroad, but so far no
equipment for this purpose has been
| purchased.

LARGE SUMS SAVED
BY SCHOOL PUPILS
Unemployment Cause of
Some Withdrawals, A. B. A.
Report Declares.

School savings continue to spread,
registering on June 80, 1880, the largest
number of schools and the greatest
number of children participating since
the school savings plan was 1naugu-
rated, says the eleventh annual report
issued by the savings bank division,
American Bankers Association. The
total amount of money deposited dur
ing the year was almost half a million
dollars greater than last year, but here
the record of growth stops, says the
report, since the net savings from the
years deposits was only $7,69O,5
which was $2,849, 400 less than the net
savings at the close of school in 1929.
The tendency of greater Withdrawals
during the past school year Is attributed
by the report to widespread unemploy-
ment. Many banks in forwarding their
statement of results have said that oe-
posts were unsatisfactory because OF
the extent of unemployment in their
respective areas.
Commenting on this general use OF
school children's savings in time OF
need, the report quotes William l.:
Stoddard, executive vice president OIL
the Council on Economic Education IN
Boston, as saying in a recent ADDRESS
that 1.-The reserve buying power OF the
American people has been lie saver
in the present business recession. The
public schools are beginning to appre-
ciate that they have a responsibility IN
the forming of sound habits as TO the
uses Of money Nothing can more
surely stabilize business than 10 sta-
bilize the individuals personal money
habits and no agency except the pupnc
schools can do the Job so thoroughly.
AS school saving has grown ana al
tracted the attention OF large nunDeI
of people, it has taken on the ADDED
idea of management, the report points
out, so that now 1t comprehenoS not
only personal thriftiness, but also per-
sonal MANAGEMENT of finances on the
part of the child, whether the money
at the disposal of the child is secured
through school savings or otherwise.
During the year closing June 80 last
the number Of schools affording oppor-
tunity for savings under their auspices
was 1851, in which were enrolled
48l7 .O6O pupils, of whom 4,597,73 par
ticipated in the plan. Ninety-five per
cent of the pupils enrolled were par
Elephants Almost 2,0eo,00 participated
each bank day, which ordinarily is once
a week. The deposits amounted to
29,113060, and the net savings at the
end of the year was $7,6e0,53O.
The hank balances of the participants
remaining at the end of the school year,
if added to their balances at the end
Of the previous years, amounted to the
sum of $50 ,049, $50. This sum does not
include the balances of those who have
withdrawn from school through gradu-
alton or otherwise. The percentage

|. c. c. CONSIDERS
RAILROAD CONTROL
Pennsylvania Ownership of
w. & l. v. Stocks Be-
fore Commission.

By the Associated Press.
Arguments over the legality Of PENN
sylvania Railroad ownership of large
blocks Of Wabash and Lehigh Valley
Railroad stock were considered TODAY
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
That tribunal last year instituted a
formal proceeding against the Penn
sylvania alleging the ownership by the
Pennsylvania Co.. the central cor
poration knitting together the Pennsyl-
vaniar system, of the stocks in question
amounted to violation OF the CLAYTON
antitrust law.
Control Alleged.
w. H. Bonneville, commission council.
commended today the stock ownership
accumulated in the Iehigh Valley and
the Wabash amounted to control. and
the action could not help but lead to
restriction in competition between the
Pennsylvania and the other two routes.
Further, placing $106,000,0 900 as the
cost Of the Pennsylvania acquisition in
the stock OF the other lines, he argued
the shares obtained had not been a
good investment.
If the money paid for the Wabash
and Lehigh Valley stock had been In
NeSIeQ Dy the pennsylvania IN ordinary
bank deposits. he calculated the owning
company would now be $4,000, 900 better
OF by reason of the interest it would
have earned in comparison with the
dividends 1T has received on the stocks.
Holds Routes Shorter.
The defense by Henry Wolfe Bickle
dealt with the consolidation contests
among Eastern railroads as we'll as
ether factors. The Lehigh Valley rout-
ing he explained as representing q
shorter distance between Harrisburg and
Northern New York points than the
Pennsylvania own lines allows.
Similarly, he said, the Wabash line
West Of Pittsburgh constituted q short
er distance into Chicago than the
Pennsylvania itself afforded.
With other interests in the field ready
to purchase and link up these facilities,
the attorney argued the Pennsylvania
was bound to consider it's own interests
and follow a course which brought 1t
into ownership.
He denied the public interest has
suffered and questioned the complete
ness of the control alleged on the
ground that until the Pennsylvania has
actually assumed the management of
the two roads 1t could not be considered
to have violated the law.

Many Substantial Gains Noted in

York Firm.
Dispatch to The Star.

special Dlspatcn TO The Star
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE ex-
perience of the various insurance I'M
derwriting companies thus far this year
has been of fiuctuating variability, &C.
cording to a current survey of the
Standard Statistics Co. The survey
continues, in part:
1t may be said, from the data at
hand, that the life companies have en-
joyed increases in volume of business
over the corresponding months of 1929.
and at the same time there has been
a decrease in the mortality rate. In
consequence underwriting results of the
life companies again this year should
be OF substant, u and satisfactory char
acter.
Fire and, to a fair degree, casualty
companies, concurrently, however, have
not only written less gross business this
year than last, but their underwriting
losses recently have expanded apprecia-
bly,. Full-term results, therefore for
these latter units will depend more
than ever on how individual investment
portfolios have Jared during the sharp
downward readjustment of junior stock
prices since the peak levels of 1929"
