NEW SACRIFICES ASKED.

BERLIN. June (P1.-The German
manifesto calling upon the German
people for new sacrifices and declar-
ing that liberation from the ''unbear-
able reparations burdens is imperative"
read as follows:
THE expectation that the world
economic crisis would ehb in 1881 and
thereby relieve distress and unemploy-
ment in all industrial states and still
more In the raw material and agricul-
tural countries has proved deceptive.
Germany Is involved in the goods ex-
change of the world to the extent Of
% ,OO0. 900 900 marks annually. (Ap-
proximately $3.50 ,0O0, 00O. 1t cannot
save itself from the common distress
under which even nations victorious In
the war are suffering severely.
Our cares and difficulties are ag-
gravated because in addition to the
general crisis in which we live We have
| to carry the special burden of having
to make payments as the vanquished
in the World War.
These payments were undertaken on
presuppositions which have not been
realized and deprive our economic sys-
tenn, impoverished by the war and by
| imitation, of the capital 1t needs for
its preservation and development. De-
privation of capital means the stoppage
and restriction of plants, unemploy-
ment, dininution Of private income and

to the contrary. He will insist that
success, whenever 1t can be achieved
naturally the sooner the better-is the
United States exclusive aim.
Ambassador Claudel of France points
out that the French parliamentary
elections will take place In May. 1892.
Some French authorities explain that
until after Q new Chamber is chosen
it might be extremely difilcult, If not
impossible, for any French delegation
at Geneva to commit itself TO an arms
reduction agreement
The Hoover administration Is more
and more inclined to look upon de-
velopments In Germany as the crux
of the European situation. Practically
all of the political parties in the Reich
from the Hitherto National Socialists
and extreme Communists to the gov
ernment's warmest supporterS-are now
united in the demand for downward
revision Of reparations payments. E
Anxious on Germany.
II payments cease, either through
Germany's incapacity to pay or through
the arrival In power of some govern
ment that declines to pay, Washington
Is not blind to the likelihood that the
fat would be in the European fire. Sec
rotary Stimson. it can be stated on au-
thofity, Is going to look into no Ques-
ton in Europe with greater zeal and
thoroughness than that he purposes be-
slowing upon Germany. A famous
German economist, whom Kaiser
Wilhelm II many years ago dispatched
on mission of discovery to the United
States, came back and wrote a book
about us which he called THE Land Of
Unlimited Possibilities" Germany TO-
day rates at Washington as a land Of
unlimited poSsibilities-mostly ominous.
Col. Stimson turns his face to the
East in the midst Of his exhaustive
study of what he calls the world prob
lem Of Russia" London, Paris, Berlin
and Rome all have had their special
sets of experiences with a recognized
Soviet government. Stimson hopes TO
avail himself of some frank impress
sions at the hands of men like Hen
derson, BRAND, Grandi and Curtius-
Of a more candid character than gen.
orally characterizes formal diplomatic
intercourse.
The Hoover administrations attitude
toward Russia continues to be pretty
inflexible 1t was reafirmed only a
few weeks ago. But Secretary Stimson
is going to keep his eyes and his ears
wide open in Great Britain and on
the continent with respect to the en-
tire Russian question.
The date Of the Secretary Of States
sailing is fixed, but not yet disclosed.
It viii be at the end of June. He viii

disarming of Europe. Had that fol-
lowed or II they had not greatly in
creased their ornaments economic con-
ditions In Europe would have been
much better and Germany would have
been in q much better way to meet her
reparations."
Senator Borahs statement followed
closely on the heels Of the appeal made
by the German government to the Ger
m --eople to bear up under the bur-
Gen OF additional taxes made necessary
in order that Germany shall meet her
reparations payments.
These new taxes are calculated TO
raise in connection with sharp reduc-
tons made in government expenses,
including salary cuts in the civil serv-
ice, some s40o, 100000. The Idaho
Senator was following with interest,
too, the reports of the conferences now
being held between Chancellor Helm
julius Curtius of Germany with Pre-
nlier Ramsay Macdonald OF the British
government in England.
The chancellor has frankly stated
that Germany will be able to meet the
financial crisis only by the cooperation
of the nations of the world. That has
been interpreted to mean that Germany
is seeking the backing OF Britain In
request for a new international COM
mittee to pass upon a revision OF the
German reparations.
The total German debt to the victor
nations in the World War, the repara-
tons which she must pay to others
than the United States, is about s26,-
GOO 900 900. She has until 1888 to
make these payments. In view of the
Worldwide depression, which has ef-
fected Germany greatly, the payments
Germany is called upon to make under
the reparations plan have become in
creasingly dificult, it is pointed out.
In Germany today there are in the
neighborhcod of 100000 unemployed.

ST!LMAN DENIES
4. ;x-W|FE FORTUNE
She Receives No Settlement
in Divorce - Children
Share 100000.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 6.-The former
Mrs. Anne Urquhart Stillman has re-
ceived no settlement as result of her
divorce from James A. Stillman, multi
millionaire banker, but the WorldTele-
gram said today their four children
would divide S3,000,000.
Reports of a million dollar settlement
on the former Mrs. Stillman, now MRS.
Fowler Mccormick, were denied by her
attorney.
The $4,000, 900 given by Mr.. Stillman
to the children Is in addition to the
S1oo0o.0OO trust fund left for them
by the late James A. Stillman, sr., their
grandfather.
Sons Rights Recognized.
The World Telegram said the So .oo0.-
900 gift marks the definite end OF Mr..
, Stillmans former charge that the
youngest child, Guy. now IL, was the
son of Fred Beauvais, an Indian guide.
Guy Is recognized in the settlement
along with Mrs. Anne Dawson, James
, A., IT., and Alexander, and his right
to share in the $10,000,000 trust fund
of his grandfather appeared established.
Details of the divorce and Mrs. Still
mans subsequent marriage to Fowler
Mccormick, grandson of the late Cyrus
Mccormick, reaper magnate, came 10
; light today while the couple continued
: their honeymoon in the seclusion of a
small cottage at East Hampton Long
Island.
There was only one witness at the
divorce trial In New City, N. Y. Mr..
Stillman filed blanket denials to the
charge of infidelity. the conventional
I New York grounds for divorce, but he
offered no contest.
Ceremony Is Brief.
Ten minutes was all that was re-
auired for the marriage of Mrs. Still
man and Mccormick at the Stillman
estate near Pleasantville, N. Y, on
Thursday. James Mack, the brides at
torney, was best man, and Mrs. James
A. Stillman, jr.. was maid OF honor. 1t
was in sharp contrast to Mrs. Stulman' S
previous marriage and the open-air
wedding In Canada some years ago OF
James A. Stillman, jr., and his mothers
former maid
Mr.. Mccormick declined to say how
long he and his bride planned to re-
main in the little cottage atop Long
Island sand dune. They were said to
plan a visit to Mrs. McCormick's camp
in Canada later.
Mr.. Stillman, who resigned from the
presidency of the National City Bank
after widespread publicity attended his
marital difficulties several years ago,
was en- route today for Europe aooarde
the liner Homeric, with his yacht cap
tain and valet.
It was on the Homeric that the Still
mans sailed for "a second honeymoon"
in 1926 after a temporary reconcilia-
ton.

for Europe.

nuities for. the last "a years were placed
at approximately $40S, 100000 subject
to the profits of the Bank for Inter-
national Settlements subsequently set
up at Basel, Switzerland. Payments for
the first 81 years represented interest
and amortization on the total debt
while the payments for the last %
years were to meet the allied debts to
the United States.
1t was provided that should the
United States ever cancel any part of
these allied debts, two-thirds would go
toward reduction of the German pay
ments with the other third benefiting
the allies.
In addition provision was made for
certain payments which might be post
poned should Germany suffer another
economic crisis such as once caused her
to default in her payments. It is
around these "postponable" portions of
the reparations payments that Chan
cellor Bruening Is devoting his atten-
ton in his talks with Mr.. Macdonald.

LEWIS DIES IN

Revolutionary Negro
Worker
Gable BY Inprecorr)

MOSCOW, June 3.-Gilbert Lewis,
Negro worker, who had been study
ing in Moscow, died on June l from
tuberculosis of the lungs and stom-
ach, His death occurred at the
Yalta Sanatarium in the Crimea
where he had been sent for treat
ment.
Comrade Lewis had been i'll of
tuberculosis since the first day of
his arrival in Moscow, He had con-
traeted the disease in the United
States Despite the greatest fefort
to save his life and the attention of
leading physicians, the disease was
too deeply entrenched to be arrested.
Comrade Lewis will be buried in
the Crimea. Memorial meetings
will be held both in the Crinea and
in Moscow, where leading Interna-
tional comrades will participate.
Comrade Lewis was born in New
Orleans in 1904. He joined the Com
munist Party of the U. S. A. about
three years ago and was active in
Party work both in New York City
and in the South. He was sentenced
to the chain gang in Chattanooga
for his activities in organizing Negro
workers and share troopers around
Chattanooga. His case was appealed
by the International Labor Defense
and the white and Negro workers of
Chattanooga, knowing the horrors
of the chain gang and realizing that
Lewis, as a militant Negro worker
would have been murdered by the
bosses if permitted to serve his sem
tence on the chain gang, collected

Union" resolution.
Delegate Mike KukiVina, from Local
1903, Orient, spoke strongly for the
| resolution. He pointed out the mis-
cry and suffering that exists in the
coal fields. He stated that simple
talk about unemployment would not
help. Action was needed, and this
resolution offered definite action. He
further stated that this resolution
called for united front of all work
ers organizations to get relief for the
jobless miners and workers of Illinois.
Another delegate spoke, stating that
the U,M.W.A. was not the only or
ganization on the face of the earth,
and that other organizations existed
that fought in the interests Of the
miners and workers. Machine-con-
trolled delegates made vicious speeches
against this resolution, and against
the National Miners Union.
A motion made by a delegate to
give the floor to representative of
the state committee which is organ
izing the march was not even enter
tanned by the chair. One delegate,
a machine-man for Buckner, stated
that the mayor there had turned
over a communication from the State
Committee to HIM asking his opinion
on what action he should carry out.
This delegate reported that he told
the mayor not to cooperate in any
way with the marchers because it
was not approved by the U.MW.A.
and A. F. of L.!
A number of delegates voted for
the resolution endorsing the hunger
march.
The local representatives Of the
State Committee of Unemployed
Councils intends to appeal directly
to the rank and file over the head
of the officialdom. The issue will be
raised in the locals of the United
Mine Workers and attempts made TO
get direct endorsements from the
rank and file
The U.M,WA, and especially the
new" leadership, who profess to be
and speak for the rank and file in
sub district No. 9, have exposed them
selves by this act of treason against
the thousands of unemployed miners
in the Illinois coal fields. By adopt
ing harmless meaningless resolu-
ton fG' insurance" and without one
word eff explanation on how to get
it, by voting against the hunger
march, the SUBJ district officials are
giving encouragement to the sher-
ifs in different towns to break up
the march through So. Illinois that
will take place despite the petty Of
ficials of the U.M.WA.
Miners, repudiate the action Of the
Convention! Get your local union
to endorse the hunger march, Greet
the marchers as they come through
your town.
