traordinary measures.
Gold Embargo Proposed.
One such example was the proposal
for an embargo on gold. The fact that
We held ourselves ready to give up
gold and get more gold to every panic
stricken nation or individual that ask
ed it, is precisely the reason why all
the nervous gold in the world is hur-
rying to safety in the United States.
No change has been made in Amer
ican institutions. The Government as
Mr.. Hoover heads it today is the same
with which he was intrusted. Nine
out of 10 countries in the world have
either changed their form of govern
ment, or gone through revolution, or
abandoned their standards of currency,
or adopted other autocratic measures.
Mr.. Hoover personally, at So today,

FACTOR WILL OPPOSE
$500, 900 LAWYER FEE
Man Fighting Extradition to Eng
land, Accused of Defrauding
Investors, Scoring Claim.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 10.-John Factor.
who has been fighting extraditlon TO
England on charges Of defrauding Brit
ish investors, yesterday said his at
torneys would oppose the request OF
Attorney John H S. Lee here for $780,
600 fees for services in recovering ST.
300 1000 of the investors loss:
1--WE believe the investors should get
all they can," said Factor, "and that a
10 per cent fee is sufficient"
Another attack on the fee came from
counsel for the Edwin Hult q Co., de-
funct investment firm, which July 25
filed an intervening petition in the
British investors suit to tie up the
50 900 900 trust fund Factor established
in a Chicago bank.
Attorney George E. Woods for the
investment house sought attachment of
Lees S50O,000 fee on the ground that
Lee was paid excessively in connection
with legal services to the Hult firm.
Lee asserted he did not owe the Hult
company one cent" The case is to be
heard August II.

at least four. The real nature Of it is
suggested by a message sent Mr.. Hoo
yer by one of Europe's outstanding
statesmen in early June, 1881. This
statesman said in so many words that
modern civilization was going to crash
within three months. The statesman
who sent that message asked that a
record be made of it and of the time
he fixed for the collapse. That was
in the midst of the menace in which
Mr.. Hoover arranged the German mo-
ratorium in June Of last year. Actually.
worse conditions arose later. The fall
of the British pound in September,
1881. was even more damaging to the
world. 1t has been a tragic and ter
rible time.
Hoover Bore Brunt.
OF all the messages reaching Mr..
Hoover on his birthday, comparatively
few with all their goodwill will realize
the extent to which Mr.. Hoover is to
be congratulated on the ending of strain
and on his leadership in the long bat
tie against it. In the nature of things,
his part in it could not be publicly real
lied. To an extraordinary degree not
even family understood. the President
of. the United States bore the brunt.
At one time or another practically
every head OF state in Europe turned
to him with emotions of despair Mr..
Hoover, figuratively speaking, by over
seas telephone or message through
ambassadors, has held the hot hands
of a good many important persons dur
ing the past three years.
In the United States the responsibility
was at all times on him. 1t is unique
fact in this depression, completely with
out precedent, that leadership was not
assumed by the financial community in
