=. $1,195,0OO in Trust.

Coincident with the disclosure that
Mrs. Beatrice Wholean already has re-
ceived more than $l,000000 from Mrs.
Mary F. Henderson, former Washing
ton society leader, il was learned yes

WAR WCTORS'.ACTS
SCORED BY CURT|US
League Told Injustice of Hold
ing Germany to Treaty
as Others Arm.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 12.-Dr. Julius
Curtius. foreign minister of Germany,
Assembly today that Germany no longer
may justly be held to the armament
restrictions of the Versailles treaty
while France and other war winners
are free to equip themselves with ex-
tensive fighting forces.
The League must not have two
standards of weights and measures, p"
the German minister said There
must not be one rule for the victors
and another rule for the vanQuiShed"
Referring to the German armament
tables recently filed with the League
secretariat, DR.. Curtius said, they
show to what extent Germany has dis
armed-no heavy artillery, no military
airplanes, no tanks, no submarines.
They show Germany even has disarmed
below the limit prescribed for her in
the Versailles treaty.
The German minister pleaded for
execution of general program of dis
armament, based on his Interpretation
of Article VIII of the League covenant.
Foreign Minister BRAND of France, in
reafirming the French armament thesis
yesterday, used this same article as the
basis for his declaration that France
would not and should not agree to fur
Their arms reductions until satisfactory
guarantees of mutual assistance had
been given by the great nations of the
world.
Persistence of Disagreement.
The BRAND and Curtius speeches
were accepted here as indicating afresh
the stubborn persistence of Franco
German disagreement, now recognized
as the worlds most troublesome po-
litical problem.
Both the French and German minis
tiers pledged their support to achieve
success at the disarmament conference
next February.
Both acknowledged that unhappy re-
lations between their two countries con-
stituted a disturbing factor in interna-
tional life and they expressed the hope
that the impending visit of M. BRAND
and Premier Laval to Berlin would
achieve some measure of reconciliation.
The French statesmen will go to Berlin
in two weeks.

DOAK ASKS PUBLIC AID.
Tells Of Huge Graft Involved in Alien
Smuggling.

Secretary Of Labor Doak last night
made a personal appeal for the united
support of the people of this country in
an effort to suppress this infamous
practice" of smuggling aliens into the

by Mr. Doak in the National Radio
Forum arranged by The Washington
Star and broadcast over a coast-to-
coast network of the Columbia Broad
casting System. 1t was heard locally

The speech was delivered just four

announced he was prepared to ask III
dictments against 20 to Is persons, 'seY>
eral of them attorneys, who have been
linked with the Nationwide inyeStiga-
ton now being conducted by tile Labor
Department under the personal super
vision of Secretary Doak.
The cabinet officer cited in this con-
nection that "a prominent Washington
attorney" was involved, and brought
out evidence showing how this Wash
ingtonian, wing specializes in immigra-
ton cases." had aided materially in a
smuggling scheme.
Staying Held Part Of Plot.
His remarks also followed the Staying
of salvatore Maranzano in New York

feared that he was about to make dis
closures"
In the very Office in which this
racketeer was Slain," Mr.. Doak asserted,
there were found letters from promi-
nent attorneys indicating that they had
a knowledge that these people were en-
gagged in alien smuggling"
Neither the Washingtonian nor the
other attorneys suspected in various
plots were identified by Secretary Doak.

figured originally as legal advisers to
the smugglers and later became more
