Hoover was informed today by Gov.
Harrison OF the Federal Reserve
Bank Of New York that the proposed
$500. 100000 credit corporation was
expected to be incorporated within
the next 48 hours.
Harrison told the president rapid

pleted proposal, he said, would De

1t was said at the White House

1t was said the institution would
not be sectional In any sense but
would be entirely national In cha:-

WASHINGTON. Oct. 8. up -
Pres. Hoover reached back four
years today to reiterate his theory
of foreign loans, the following Of
which, he said, would have smooth
ed many a bump from the worlds
economic path.
Addressing the fourth Pan Amer
lean commercial conference, the
president recalled his plea that for
eign loans be made only for re
productive purposes" delivered be-
fore the same conference in 1927.
Then he was secretary Of COM
merce.
Il repeat this today" the presi-
dent said, because had it been
followed during these past five
years our problems throughout the
world would be far different, our
difficulties infinitely less"
Expanding upon this idea, Mr..
Hoover said he believed this con-
Stituted "a lesson from this depres-
sion." He repeated part OF his
four-year-old address which said
that IF nations would do away wAh
the lending Of money for the bal
ancing Of budgets for purposes OF
military equipment or war pur-
poses, or even that type OF public
works which does not bring some
direct or indirect productive re-
turn-a great number Of blessings
would follow to the entire world"
Turning to present day affairs,
Mr.. Hoover told the Pan American
delegates the American theory OF
government required that CONNER
cial enterprise. except as O rare

private undertaking.

"In his sudden zeal for retrench-
ment," according to the Atlanta Journal.
President Hoover seems to have taken
his cue from the man in the proverb
VINO hurried to lock the stable door after
the horse was out. If he had been half
as much concerned when appropriations
were being made last Winter as he Is
now, when the Treasury is threatened
with a deficit of a billion dollars. he
would have less cause for worry. But he
then asked for twenty-Seven millions
more than Congress actually authorized
A deficit amounting to more
than the cost of running the Govern
ment before the war is a matter of ma
tional concern. Can it be possible that
the President has just become aware of
the distressing condition of our Treas
ury? Why has he delayed this alleged
effort on the part Of his administration
to reduce expenditures until it Is too
late to prove really effective?"
Navy economy is viewed as possible

still maintains several posts which were
built to protect settlers from Indian
tribes at time when the red men were
virtually Independent. The aborigines'
descendants are now citizens of the

In opposition to the plan, the Erie
Dispatch Herald maintains that none
OF these Army posts should be aban-
dcned until after competent experts
have passed on them" The Philadel-
phia Evening Bulletin advises that de
partmental savings practicable by adj
illustrative action in the matter of
posts are not considered large" and
that what Is needed Is congressional
action authorizing final abandonment
and sale" The Danbury News voices
the protest en- economy in general: IF
we are to be in any slight measure pre-
pared for war, we must maintain our
small regular force in the very highest
morale and keep them well paid, splen-
dldly trained, and proud of their pro-
fesSion. We cannot do these things II
we are parsimonicus with our soldiers,
yet we are parsimonious and it seems
likely that we are going to be still more
parsimonious."
THE Presidents intentions may be of
the best" says the Morgantown Domin-
ion-News. ITO carry out his program,
however. he must meet and overcome
strong obstacles placed in his path by
forces favoring no reductions in the cost
OF our national defense. And this Is the
situation that raises doubts as to
whether Mr. Hoover will accomplish
much of consequence in the way of ma
tional economy. If he does, he will have
to make a greater show of forceful lead
ership than he has to date

Discouraging Happenings.

Happenings Of the past two weeks
have been very discouraging to the
Washington base ball team. Rated as
pennant contenders from the start OF
the race, they have set about proving
that they deserve to be in this category
after somewhst shaky beginning AL
this, however, has done them little
good except to keep them in a strik-
ing position. Since travelling to the
West, which was their nemesis last
year. the players have bagged nine out
eleven contests. Surely cham
pionship pacel But what has been the
result? They are two games further
back from the. world champion Phila-
delphia Athletics, the latter having
won thirteen successive games to date.
OF course, 1t is plain that the Ath-
letics cannot keep on winning forever
and that at the conclusion Of a long
streak teams usually go into a slump
But neither can the Washington club
be expected to go through the season
winning eight Of every ten games. How
ever, the fact that the Nationals have
been able to cling as close to the heels
Of the Athletics as they have shows the
spirit that makes champions. So, any
dcy now the Philadelphia string may be
broken, the Senators may regain their
two lost games and the old pennant race
buzz merrily along with the local entry
again in the thick Of the fight.

A Typical World Court Case.

II would be dif1cult to conceive Of a
more ideal case for international arbi-
tration than the one just presented to
the Permanent Court of International
Justice at The Hsgue-the question OF
the legality Of the proposed German
Austrian customs union. France and
Italy, among others, argued at this
weeks meeting OF the League Of Ma
tons Council In Geneva that the project
violates the spirit as well as the letter
Of the treaties Of Versailles and St.
German, as well as Of the Geneva
protocol Of 1922, whereby Austria re-
ceiyed League financial aid.
In the old days there Is hardly any
room to doubt that the controversy
would have been provocative Of wide
spread and enduring tension IN Europe.
The dogs Of war might not have been
unleashed, but an atmosphere CT irrita-
ton would have ensued out Of which

Friend Lost by Allies
In Death of Mueller

From the Hartford Daily Times
In view Of his effective moderating
influence in Germany as leader of the
Hermann Mueller ct the age of SIS
means loss which may not only pro-
foundly influence domestic policy in
the Reich, but for that reason will also
have significance for other nations.
Herr Mueller stood fearlessly and ca
pably in the front ranks of German
political leadership during the postwar
period. He signed the Versailles treaty,
was adamant in his continued opposi-
ton to the ex-Kaiser and the junker
class and was one of the very few out
standing German leaders who publicly
admitted his country's war guilt This
he qualified by stating the Social Demo-
Gratis were innocent, having had vir-
tually no voice In the government
which declared and carried on the war
Despite the unpopular positions which
he took frequently in advocating con-
ciltatory measures regarding the allies,
Herr Mueller continued to be dorni-
nant personality both within his own
political party and with reference to
moderate opinion in his country. 1t
was due to his leadership that the
Bruening ministry now in power has not
Deen voted out. Many SOCIALISTS are
strongly opposed to the governments
fiscal policies, but Mueller's broad views
regarding the necessity for government
stability in the current FESTIVE condi-
tons in Germany have prevailed and
have been credited for his party's abb
stention from voting when it was out
Of sympathy with the Bruening bills.
The allies have trusted Herr Mueller
and have had no occasion to regret it.
Twice chancellor of the Reich, once
foreign secretary and repeatedly mem
Der of the government cabinet in other
capacities, he came into frequent con-
tact with postwar problems in which
the allies were concerned. His chief
opponents were the German militaristS
and the Communists, an opposition
which has been a distinct help to him
n holding public confidence at home
and abroad.
