swer no questions as to the topics OF
conversation and the results, giving
out noncommittal communique which
said Great Britain and Germany
would "endeavor to deal with the
present crisis in close collaboration
with other governments concerned.
OF course Preparations was one of the
chief topics, and the Germans stressed
Germany's alleged inability to carry
on under the Young plan. Moreover
and this is of direct interest to the
United States-Bruening was under
stood to have asked the aid of the
British statesmen in sounding Ger
many's creditor nations, especially
America, on the possibility of defer
ring reparations payments. The under
lying hope of Germany, as expressed
by the Berlin press. is that Uncle
Sam will consent a revision or can
collation. of reparations, and the old
proposition of cancellation of all the
war debts owed to America naturally
bobbed up again.
Bruening and Curtius, returning
home on the Europa, were pleased to
have as fellow passenger Frederic
M. Sackett, the American ambassador
to Berlin. and it was believed they
took the opportunity to. tell him frank
~ what they hoped America would do
in the way Of helping Germany out of
it's slough Of despond. Also, they
are looking forward to conversations
with Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
and Secretary Of State Stimson, both of
whom are to be in Europe this sum-
mer. It was made plain to correspon-
dents that the Germans hope to con-
vince the Americans that, since Ger
many cannot now purchase raw ma
terials from America. there is di-
rect connection between the economic
crisis and PREPARATIONS.
The French government, according
to Foreign Minister BRAND. will not
be led into any international confer
ence for the revision of the repara-
lions scheme and the Young plan.
BRAND told the chamber of deputies
that 'there can be no question Of re-
yising the Young plan, since it has
q definite character and contains in
itself possibilities for Germany"
Chancellor Bruening's tax DEGREES,
published just before he went to Eng
land, are denounced by nearly all the
influential German newspapers as
brutal, unjust and an imposition on
the salaried and impoverished classes.

tacks on churches and churchmen,
was regarded as conciliatory The
Italian government expressed regrets
at the incidents, which, it said, were
caused by Fascist reaction to news
that Catholic Action was plotting
against the Fascist regime, and prom
ised to punish the guilty if they could
be found and to try to prevent repeti-
tons. The note then made two pro-
tests on behalf of the government. II
repeated the charges of political anti.
Fascist activity Of Catholic Action,
and it objected to the vatican's eff
forts to enlist the sympathy of the
whole world in its cause-this refer
ring to the almost daily speeches
made by Pope Plus.
Mussolini still insists on the dis
solution of Catholic Action. and the
pope has recognized this stand by
starting the organization of new
Catholic clubs throughout the coun-
try. Negotiations between Rome and
the Vatican probably will be contin-
ued for some time and rupture of
diplomatic relations which neither
side wants, is no longer feared.

have to formulate plans for greater
economy in the department in order
to comply with the wishes of the
President. Among other promises Of
the secretary is the pledge to cut by
$15.000,000 the appropriations voted
for the year 1882 by congress; and
this means the navy will have to get
along on about $40,O00,000 less than
the amount voted by congress for
naval activities during the present
year. at
Mr.. Hoover asked the navy to
abandon the island of Guam as a
naval base, and this was agreed to
although the saving there will not be
large. Reductions in naval personnel
at Guam have been going on for some
time. At present the navy maintains
81 officers and 615 enlisted men and
marines at this point. OF this number
40 enlisted men are stationed aboard
the Penguin, mine sweeper, and the
Gold Star, station ship.

sUCCOR |s RUSHED
 ID DEVASTATED AREAS
 CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Sept. 12. tP)-Belize and other Caribbean countries and islands are either recovering from or still lowing in fear to the slashing winds and tropical storms while succor is being rushed to the maimed, hun- gry and homeless in the devastated areas.
 Four hundred, including II Am erican priests are reported to have been killed and hundreds injured in the hurricane which swept out of the Caribbean Sea and a huge tidal wave which followed in the wake of a 15O-mile-an-hour wind.
 The tidal wave washed many dead bodies to sea along with houses, churches and other build ings and ships were thrown high aground. Lashing rain and angry waves swamped the buildings that remained and destroyed their food.
 Medicines and drugs were rem dered to most of the populace tor gether with shelter. The known dead at San Juan are two; several others were reported drowned and there was considerable damage to buildings.
 This disturbance passed over Santo Domingo and was expected to reach Port au Prince, Haiti; if it continued it would be travel ing toward Jamaica today in a southweSterly direction.
 At Belize the storm continued toward the last Central American areas off Frontera, Mexico Bay and Campeche but today it appar antly turned toward Vera Cruz taking a northwestward course It is not believed it will strike the United States.
 Belize reported 150 were killed but reports to the Pan-American AirWays said at least 400 lives were lost.
 The State and Navy Depart ments made plans to give aid and the Red Cross sent relief funds to the American consul at Belize, planes are taking a med ical personnel and medicine; a mine sweeper is enroute. The loss to American firms, it is estimated, will total $250,0oo and the total damage we'll over $2,oo0,0O0.
