CONSTANT WAR
WATCH URGED

The Importance of constant re-
vision in the development of plans
for industrial mobilization was
stressed today by Assistant Secre-
tary Of War Payne before the War
Policies Commission. He said:
"Whatever governmental con-
troll is exercised over industry
in war must be the function of
the Chief Executive, acting in
accordance with the wishes Of
Congress-"
Unless plans for industrial mo-
biliZation reflect the current opin'
ion of Congress, of the President
and of industry, labor and finance
they would, according to Secretary
Payne, be obsolete when an emer
gency arose and would be cast
aside. He declared:
"They cannot be the product
Of a clustered body of students,
they must represent the com.
pOSite thought of national lead
ers. They are intended to meet
the conditions of the moment"
The War Policies Commission is
charged with the prompt purchase
of the enormous quantities of sup
plies necessary to the Army to per
nit the rapid expansion a grave
emergency would require.
The Washington times., 1931-05-13

so even than violating the sancity
of the foreign mission.
Whether or not the American
Government would have to pay
re,paration will depond on
whether the State Department
can show proper police protec'
tion is being afforded legations
and embassies, and particularly
whether the ordinary police pre-.
cautions in this case were deemed
sufficient.
That is a question which So
licitor Green II. Hackworth will
have to determine after confer
ences with Major Henry G. Pratt,
superintendent of police.
Under international law, the
Government must exert every
effort to protect diplomatic per
son and property, and no mem
bers of foreign mission may
waive his immunity without the
consent of his government, in a
case Of personal assault.
Police Must Protect
Regardless of whether the diplO
matte property to be protected
is beyond the pale of the law, as
is liquor, embassy liquor is
peculiarly inviOlate, and what the
police would seize if owned by an
American, they have to protect
when in foreign mission house.
No Prccedents
This is the first instance o. its
kind to embarrass the Govern.
ment, and there are no prece-
dents other than those of inter
national law for general protec-
ton, which are supported by Fed
eral statutes all-embracing in
their scope.
All diplomatic missions here
have large stocks of liquor on
hand.
The new British embassy has
a specially constructed vault the
size of an ordinary room, for its
liquor cache, plans for it having
been incorporated in the original
drawings by the architect.
Marines May Be Called
If the attack on the Saliva
dorean legation is to be taken as
forerunner of a wave of such
attacks, the police will be con-
fronted by a problem of consid-
cradle proportions. and it is pos
sible that the British, French,
Italians may ask for additional
protection for all large social
affairs. At practically all of
them large quantities of wines
and liquors are withdrawn for
serving.

IS APANESE DIE
IN FILM FIRE

TOKYO, May 13 G.N.SD.-Six
teen persons, most of them
women and children. lost their
lives today when fire destroyed
a local motion picture theater
and then spread to Is adjoining
houses, levelling them to the
ground.
Scores we're reported injured
30 seriously.
Gasoline ExplOdcs
The fire resulted from explosion
of gasoline tank in the projec.
ton room of the Cinema Theater
The 200 persons comprising
the audience stampeded or the
exits at the sound of the blast,
A few managed to reach safety,
but most of them were trapped
in the theater when the doors he
came blocked by the press Of hu.
manity.
Heroic work by firefighters
and volunteer helpers prevented
a greater loss of life. Survivors
of the disaster we're hauled to
safety through windows, while
firemen battled the blaze from
the roof.
Famed by a stiff northeast
wind, the flames spread rapidly
and soon were out of control
Residents of houses nearby fled
to the streets in panic.

Hoover Paving Way
For Armament Cut

A report that the Hoover Ad-
ministration will try to negotiate
a treaty at the Geneva arms par
ley next February reducing land
ornaments by limiting expendi-
lures on military establishments,
was accepted on Capitol Hill to-
day as an aftermath of the new
Army economy program.
The recent moves toward econo-
mizing Army costs were described
as the first steps in preparing the
American establishment for the
Geneva conference.
The proposal would be en-
entirely in line with the Presi-
dents recent speech to the In
ternational Chamber of Com
merce. In that address, he
pleaded for a reduction in land
ornaments as a sure step toward
the restoration of prosperity. He
declared the people were being
taxed to maintain huge army es-
tablishmepts, the cost of which
could be materially reduced.

MEXICO F ACE
PESO CRISIS

MEXICO CITY, May 13 G.N.S0
The Senate and the Chamber of
Deputies were summoned sepa-
rately in extraordinary session
today to consider the crisis result
ing from decline of the silver
peso, which dropped another 8
per cent yesterday It was re-
garded as possible a moratorium
would be declared.
Congress will deal with the ex-
change situation only. The for
eign debt question is not in
volved.
The Mexican silver peso today
is at its lowest level since 1915.
The gold peso, now worth %
per cent more than the American
silver dollar, buys 2.71 silver
pesos.

CHILD SLAY|NG
ARREST MADE

SAN DIEGO, Calf, May 13
G.N.S) .-Ashur Williams, IS, who
escaped from an Ohio insane
asylum nine years ago, according
to police, was to be questioned
here today as a suspect in the
murder of 10-year-old Virginia
Brooks.
San Diego police say he was
in the vicinity of the Brooks
home the day of the killing. Capt.
Harry Hickok, of the State iden-
tificatiOn bureau, characterized
him as the "most likely" suspect
yet arrested.
Williams was taken into Gus
tody last Friday at his shack l8
miles east of San Diego by Los
Angeles police, who charged him
with mistreating a 4-year-old girl,

ARMY ECONOMY
PLAN DOOMS
z POSTS
General Staff Scans Camps
Now Regarded as Useless;
Many Protests Received

The Army general staff pre-.
ared today to comb the Army
>ostS and idle military reServa
ions pursuant to President Hoov
2r's edict that the expenses OF
the military establishment must
be curtailed, with a prospect that
a dozen posts may be abandoned.
The military reservations. for
merly offered for sale, will again
be put on the auction block.
Estimates Disagree
Figures made public by Presi.
dent Hoover as to posts aban.
dOned during the past two years
and the probable number of those
to be abandoned under the re.
survey, differ materially from
those compiled by the general
staff, it was revealed.
The President put the latter fig.
ure at 20 to 30. The general staff
has IL, IL or 13, on its list for
possible Scrapping.
Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, Fort
Sheridan, ILL.,, Camp Custer, Mich,
Fort Oglethorpe, Ca, and the
arsenal at Augusta. Ca, will be
retained, it was said.
Generally, the plan to be fol-
lowed will be to retain all posts
where there is housing in good
condition, or where the post is
near a center of population. or
where peace-time civilian COM
ponents of the Army are trained
The indirect process of inquiry
as to those slated for abandon
ment brought the answer that
Fort Nogales and Fort Douglas,
two infantry posts in Arizona
likely will go; that Fort Lincoln,
Nebr., is useless. and that Fort
Wayne, Mich. must go.
13 Posts Abandoned
OF the 13 posts referred to by
the President as having been
abandoned during the past two
years, it was found they were dis
missed by the General Staff, hav
ing no consequence in the general
scheme of saving. Only nine had
been actually abandoned and four
were still on a caretaker basis.
+ They are Clover Field and
Camp Hearn, Calif.;, Disciplinary
Barracks, Fort Leavenworth
Kan; Love Field, Fla, Fort Sew
ard, Alaska; Camp Gatun, Cana
Zone; Kindley Field and Eldridge
Field. Philippine Islands, aban
doned. and Forts Andrews, Rod

SHUN
PROHIBITION IN
RADIO TALKS
Strange Similarity Between
Speeches of La Toilette and
Walsh on Economic Issues

The close alliance between the
Democrats and the progressive Re
publicans in the field of economic
thought and policy-which may
prove a factor of utmost impor-
tance in the 1882 campaign-was
strikingly demonstrated today bv
two Of the foremost spokesmen Of
these parties. Senators Thomas j.
Walsh CD of Montana. and Rob
ert M. La Toilette CRJ of Wis
conSin.
Speaking over a national radio
hOOk-up last night, they outlined
what in their opinion would prove
the outstanding issues in the
Presidential campaign next year,
and it was difficult to tell which
speech was which.
They agreed that economic is
sues would be paramount, and
they advocated virtually the same
thingS-tariff reform, unemploy-
ment relief, tax reform In the
higher brackets, more equitable
distribution of economic benefits,
the five-day week, Stricter regu-
lation of utilities, and more ef-
fective control Of giant monopo-
lies to the end that the common
man" may be benefited.
. A third viewpoint was supplied
by Senator Hasting r. of Della
ware. a regular of regulars, who
frequently speaks for the White
House. He declared the prime
issue of the campaign will be
the record of the Hoover Admin
istration, which he praised in
glowing terms.
CuriousIy enough, ali three,
Walsh, La Toilette and Hastings,
meticulOusly avoided any mention
of prohibition as an outstanding
issue next year. This fact alone
drew unusual attention to the
trio Of speeches, for it is the al
most universal belief of men in
both parties and observers every
