RECTORSHIP
20 Years Service to End
September IS; Choice of
Successor Not Yet Made

The Rev. DR.. j. j. Dimon, for
20 years rector Of st. Andrews
Episcopal Church, New Hamp-
shire Ave. and V St.. has resigned.
effective September Is. and the
board Of vestry has accepted the
resignation.
No plans for a successor have
been made. According to church
officials. DR.. Dimon has for some
time been contemplating taking q
post as a professor in one of the
church colleges.
In recent years many members
OF the church have moved out Of
the neighborhood. 1t Is believed
that this fact was instrumental
in bringing about DR.. Dimol1's
resignation.

the bank, adding that this would
not only offset debt reductions,
but would be powerful factor
in restoring confidence and in
starting the world upon the road

total of the allies war debt to

tiOns. If this country should
consent to such a reduction, in
her capacity as creditor she
logically has a right to try to
protect herself from a recur-
renee of ditiOnS which
caused these debtS-in other
words, from another world
war. .,-,.-
"In return for scaling down
war debts and reparatiOns we
could demand at least partial
disarmament on all sides which
would lessen the chances of
such catastrophe"
War Loans For Destruction
Discussing the difference be-
tween war loans and private
loans the economist points out
that private loans are made for
some constructive purpose from
which the borrower expects to de-
rive profit sufficient to pay the
interest and to retire gradually
a part of the debt.
The war loans on the other
hand were used for destruction.

GEORGE COTTON
. RELIEF PLAN
BACKED
Sens. Harris, Byrnes, Ashurst,
Fletcher, Black, Bankhead
Join in Farm, Board ParIey

The haraSSed Federal Farm
Board today had another plan
10 alleviate the South'S cotton
situation laid on its doorstep, but
declined to reveal its attitude.
Meanwhile the Egyptian govern
ment followed its oral suggestion
to the American minister there
that this Government call an
international parley to consider
the world cotton situation, by
forwarding a formal note to the
State Department today.
Plea to Hoover
At the White House lay a tele,
gram from Governor Russell, of
Georgia, urging President Hoover
to use the good offices of the
farm board to take immediate
and definite action to improve
the prices for the cotton crop.
If the board is powerless to
take immediate action Governor
Russell suggested the President
call an extra session Of Congress.
The plan before the board to-
day Is that of Senator George
Cd of Georgia, who, with
Senators Black and Bankhead,
Ala b ma; Harris, Georgia; +;
Fletcher, Florida; Byrnes, South
Carolina, and AShurst, Arizona,
held a three-hour conference with
the board late yesterday.
Senators Silent
The Senators were equally un-
communicative concerning dis
cusSions. The only statement
was that of Carl Williams, cotton
member of the board. He said:
"The Senators came here to
discuss the cotton problem and
q very interesting discussion of
the entire situation was had"
The George plan provides that
the board shall buy at least 6.0O0,-
600 bales of this years cotton
crop at IL cents per pound, paying
six cents down, and giving GER
titicate for the remainder.
This certificate would be re-
deemable in October, 1882. and
would be void if the grower hold
ing it planted cotton next year
on his land.
Multitude of Ideas
1t was indie oated there would be
no more formal meetings of the
delegation with the board, al
though Senator Smith CD of
South Carolina, who also has
cotton plan, expects to confer with
the board today, while Senators
Robinson and Caraway, of Arkan-
sa4, will be in Washington Mon
day and probably will meet with
the board after they have talked
with those W participated in the
previous conference.
Williams said several hundred
cotton plans and ideas submitted
to the board for consideration had
been analyzed by it's experts and
would be discussed when the full
board meets after Labor Day.
