Sheer Fabrics Make

CHEER fabrics for evening are by all

ASKANCE LOOK
CAST At NEW
HOOVER PLAN
"Premature," Capitals View
OF London Reports Hinting
Proposal of Debt Revision
By GEORGE r. HOLMES


Reports published in London
that "a new Hoover plan" is in
the making-designed to revise
both German reparations and the
inter-allied war debts-were char
acterized in Washington today as
premature.
The reported basis of such
revision would be capacity to
pay, i.e.. in view of the prolonged
economic depression, which has
hit all countries, the ability of
the various nations to live up to
present agreements should be re-
examined in the light of changed
conditions.
Too Soon, View Here
Administration officials were
loath to comment upon the re-
ports, or upon the verdict of the
Basic committee of bankers,
which bluntly recommended all
around revision.
II is too early, officials said,
TO talk about earring up existing
contracts such as che Young plan
and the inter-allied debt agree
InentS with the United st ties.
Officials pointed out that the
full effect of the Hoover mora.
torium is yet to be felt. It was
only two months ago today that
President Hoover proposed a
years holiday in all inter-govern-
mental debts.
10 Months to Go
The moratorium still has ten
months to run, and there is al
most certainty that it will be
extended for still another year
when the question arises next
June.
So far as the Basic Committee
report is concerned. the Admin
istration is not greatly impressed.
1t is pointed out that the commit
tee is composed entirely Of inter
national bankers. not heads of
governments, or even representa-
tives of governments.
The bankers always have been
In favor of cancelling war debts,
for they would be the only ones
to profit directly from such
action. Thus there was nothing
surprising in the report of the
Wiggin Committee.
Ultimately. the time may come
when revision of the Young Plan
and the Allied debt agreements
will have to be considered, and
the Administration breads that
day.

Steaes Imports Bombers

OSSA~O RUk ~ A3OuUCKS
Following the collection of a large
slush fund from theatre owners all
over the country, Steffes engineered
the indictment Of the officers of the
union. After that he imported strike
breakers and bombers and incendiar-
les from New York, and lockout
was declared.
Following spectacular fight which
lasted several weeks, the controversy
was settled to the satisfaction of the
union and the union operators re-
turned to their jobs.
The principal excuse the state ad-
vanced for wishing to strike off the
indictment was that the star witness
for the prosecution had fled to Eng
land. Assistant States Attorney
Charles E. Lounsbury, chief aid Of
Steffes in obtaining the indictment
made the motion to strike off.
Terrorism Hurt Theatres
Lounsbury, in making his plea to
the court, referred to the bombing of
Is moving picture houses during the
fight. Several of the housse bombed
were being operated on strictly un
ion basis and were attacked because
they would not join the lockout. Fake
bomhin1S were Stapnd at n0nnniou
houses to generate public opinion
against the union. The terrorism
created caused tremendous falling
off in receipts at all theatres.
