WAR DEBTS LINKED
With MORATORIUM
IN HO0VER'S MIND
President Intends to Consider
Two Subjects Together
at All

Washington, Oct. 0-(P)-Reduc-
tions in war debts payments will be
considered by the United States only
If European nations In turn effect
drastic curtailments of armament.
President Hoover intends the two
subjects shall remain indubitably
linked. In his approaching confer
ences with Premier Laval Of France he
expects to press his views that disarm-
ament and q naval holiday cannot be
logically separated from the question
Of war debts and the world financial
condition.
There has been no indication, how
ever. that the administration would
enter into a complete revision OF war
debts.
Hoover recalled only Tuesday night
at his conference with congressional
leaders that in proposing the inter-
governmental debt moratorium he had
opposed cancellation Of war debts.
The apprehension Of French public
opinion that President Hoover would
propose to the premier further sus-
pensions of German reparations pay
ments was reflected in Paris news
papers.
From the head of one of Frances
greatest banks came the assertion that
prolongation of the moratorium be-
yond next June would involve q loss
for France of $500, ,000, 900 francs ($l..
000, 900 ,00O annually and would NEAR
the government would have to raise
an equal sum in order to balance thu
budget.
Generally among congress member'
judgment Is being reserved on propos'
ais to extend the moratorium.

FLORIDA MAN TELLS
FEDERAL JURORS OF
CAPONE STATEMENT
Asserts Gang Chief Said He Had
Several Businesses, Mostly
Gambling

Federal Building, Chicago, Oct. g.
R)-A former Miami prosecutor who
participated in the attempt to drive
Al Capone out of Florida, Friday quot
ed the gang leader as saying his busi-
ness was cleaning and pressing, real
estate and gambling-mostly gamb-
ling.
Vernon Hawthorne, states attorney
of the 11th Florida district in 1928,
the first witness of the day in Ca
pone's income tax trial. related an in
terview between Capone and Miami
officials in the summer of that year.
The authorities, he said, objected to
Capone's presence there and wanted
to know what he proposed to do IN
Miami"
I'm Just here for rest" he quoted
the scarfaced gangster as saying.
Capone at first refused to say what
his business was, Hawthorne testified.
but later announced, "All right. Ill
tell you."
The former prosecutor was the first
of the many witnesses the government
has subpoenaed in Florida in their
effort to show Capone had large sums
of money, although he paid no in
come tax.
Admission by Capone through an
attorney that he was liable on four
year income of $266,000 was brought
to light by the government Thursday.
Documentary evidence, intended to
show Capone once confessed this lia-
bility, was put into the records OF
Capone's trial, over the objection OF
defense counsel.
It included a typed two-page letter,
the contents of which, however, re-
mained a secret to the jurors at the
end of the third days session OF the
trial.
But the world in general knew that
the letter was signed Lawrence p.
Mattingly," that it was addressed to
the Internal Revenue Bureau, and
that it contained the alleged admis-
sion by Capone that he was not only
liable but willing to pay tax on the
s266,O00.
The jury heard a witness identify
the letter and heard the court rule
that it was admissible. But Judge
James H. Wilkerson, at the close OF
the session, asked the prosecution to
withhold the reading Of the docu-
ment.

BANK LAWS NMOVE
TO HELP BUSINESS
Use Hoover Outline to Plan
Against Credit Strains of
the Future

Washington, Oct. 9.-(P)-Micro- 8.
scopic study by congress Of the whole
system of national banking laws on
the basis of the last two years busi-
ness events Is certain.
The emergency economic program
advanced at this weeks bipartisan
white house conference will be the
principal laboratory lesson from
which congress will build to guard
against future credit strains.
While congressional conferees
agreed to the general program ad-
vanced by President Hoover, it was
apparent Friday there would be sharp
differences of opinion over details.
The main controversy Is expected to
center on the extent to which con-
gress will go with the presidential
recommendation for broadening the
base Of paper eligible for rediscount
by federal reserve banks.
Corporation Near Completion
Meanwhile, in New York, formation
Of the $500,000,000 National Credit
corporation, undertaken by private
financiers at the suggestion Of Presi-
dent Hoover, Is near completion.
With stocks, cotton and grain pirces
pushed upward already under the
stimulus of the proposed organization,
+; Hoover was notified 1t would be for
mally incorporated by Saturday.
Soon thereafter the enormous
strength Of its pooled resources will be
injected into a nationwide offensive
to free frozen assets for commercial
trading.
The corporation will be authorized
to issue up to 81 O00, ,00o, 900 in deben-
lures to subscribing banks throughout
the country, which would contribute
2 per cent Of net demand and time
deposits. At this time it Is considered
a temporary organization to meet the
situation. pending congressional ac-
ton.
Glass Is Opposed
I Senator Glass of Virginia, former
Democratic secretary of the treasury,
gave notice he would oppose proposals
to include railroad, real estate and
industrial securities In paper eligible
for federal reserve rediscount.
Over in the house, Chairman Nc
Fadden of the banking committee
also is carefully reserving Judgment
on just how far he would be prepared
to go in extending the base of eligible
paper.
Senator Glass contends that banks
are not taking advantage of facilities
now offered by the federal reserve
system.
There Is some doubt as to Just how
far the administration will go In re-
|commending that congress broaden the
field on eligible paper. A report It
would favor having the federal re-
serve system ultimately take over the
paper to be liquidated by the private
lcorporation brought sharp protest
from Glass.

dents previously had evacuated.
At Changtu the demonstration was
especially bitter. Crowds surrounded

said, shouting threats and insults and
covering the walls with posters revil-

and afford adequate protection to the
lives and property Of japanese sub
jectS in China"
It further asserted that the anti.
Japan agitation "is conducted as an
instrument Of national policy under
the direction Of the Nationalist
party"
Shigemitsu intends to interview
