"Tacit Agreement" of Europe
DeferS Discussions of
Holiday Extension
BY WILLIAM HILLMAN
(CODyright. I03e. by Universal
Service. Incl

LONDON, Sept. 10. - A
"tacit agreement" exists be-
tween Washington and Euro
pean capitals by which Europe
will not bring up the question
of a war debt moratorium or
any other issue connected with
the $11, ,00O,OO0,OOO war debts
due the United States until
after the November elections.
This was the statement today
Of a high authority who used
the phrase "tacit agreement" in
his discussion of the European
campaign to bring about drastic
reduction or cancellation of war
debts Europe owes Americas tax.
payers.
Wait For Election
With Whitehall spokesmen
flatly declaring that the British
government will not take advan-
tage of its option to ask post
ponement of the $4,000, 900 prin.
cipaT payment Of the SITS, ,00O, 900
debt installment due America in
December, it appeared certain
that Europe is upholding her
part of the "tacit agreement
to keep war debts from becoming
an important presidential elec-
ton issue.
After the elections, Europe will
take up the question of drastic
downward revision in war debts,
it was asserted in an excellent
quarter.
Default Likely
In diplomatic circles, 1t Is held
certain that the first step Eu.
rope will make is to demand a
moratorium even greater than
that envisaged in existing fund
ing agreements.
This moratorium is regarded as
necessary in view of the growing
certainty that payments due
America on December Is by
France, England and other pow
ers may not be made, and that
the world economic conference
will not be held until 1888.

GOV. ROOSEVELT
DOMINANT IN
CORN BELT
Hearst Poll Shows Voters
Promise Maiorities for
Democratic Candidate
By COLE E. MORGAN

Theodore Roosevelt wrote
"The Winning of the West. "
Franklin D. Roosevelt is writ.
ing a new version of that title
in the returns pouring into the
national headquarters of the
presidential poll being con-
Quoted by The Washington
Times and other Hearst papers.
Each week from the outset OF
the tabulation of poll replies Gov
ernor Roosevelt has maintained
steady hold on the majority of
the States west of the Mississippi.
Unless there is a decided change
between now and November 8,
that section will certainly give
him the lions share of its elec-
toral vote.
Kansas Long Exception
In the Corn Belt country of the
Middle West particularly Roose-
velt thus far has appeared as
the dominant choice of a substan-
tial majority Of the voters. There
is one exception, the State of
Kansas, which, since it is the
home of Vice President Curtis,
has shown leaningS to the Hoover
Curtis ticket.
In Wisconsin, Nebraska, South
Dakota and Missouri, Roosevelt
today with the addition of an
other weeks balloting shows leads
that at this time would justify
placing those States safely in
his column. -
Minnesota, Iowa and North E.
kota also show Roosevelt majori-
ties, but today they are not suf-
ficiently large to class them
other than doubtful with 1882
Democratic leanings.
Has Been Done Before
Such a thing as the Corn Belt
going solidly Democratic is not
impossible. 1t has been done be-
fore. In 1912 every one of these
eight States, except Minnesota,
which went Bull Moose, gave its
electoral vote to Woodrow Will
son. Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska
and North Dakota repeated that
performance in 1916.
Wisconsin, while not going
Democratic, did desert the Re
publican ticket when it gave its
electoral vote to La Toilette in
1924.
Forty years ago, in 1892,
Grover Cleveland carried Wiscon
sin. Missouri went Democratic
three times in row, in 1892.
1895 and 1900. Nebraska and
South Dakota were on the Demo
cratic side in 1896.
The voters of today in large
measure are the voters of 1912
and 1915 and the sons and
grandsons and daughters and
granddaughterS of the voters OF
the ninetieS.
The old proverb of "like father
like son" may find itself eXem-
plified in the political situation
in the Middle West this year.

Expected Something Hot"
That was in March or April of
this year, when he was speaking
in Oklahoma. He wrote to her
then that "the Florida group
knows my itinerary as we'll as you
do and expect something hot
any time"
Threats reached him in every
State, and especially ugly were
they after each of Colonel Robins
visits to Washington, where he
conferred with President Hoover.
Mrs. Robins does not know of
any national investigation into
prohibition her husband was con-
Quoting, but she believes the boot

the Robins home. linked Colonel
Robins with a nationwide drive
against bootlegging.
Colonel Robins made a speech
in Brooksville, Fla, last Decem-
ber, resulting in an indignation
meeting of citizens, who formed
committee to work for a change
in political leadership, Mrs.
Robins related. The June prima-
rieS ouSted the established leaders,
but from December on, anonym-
Gus telephone calls tried to warn
Colonel Robins off, she said.

bootlegging organizations, she be-
lieves.
Colonel Robins connections in
Washington being so high, ma
tional gangs might we'll be wor-
ried that his local fight presented
national ramificationS, she said,
His last trip to Washington,
never completed, had nothing to
do with prohibition, Mrs. Robins
said. but was for the purpose of
discussing the forthcoming politi-
cal campaign with President
Hoover.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10 U.N.S0-
Belief that Col. Raymond Robins
is somewhere in Chicago ap-

when a personal friend of the
missing man. w. w. Haupt, re-

noted prohibitioniSt two days ago.
Haupt, an automobile dealer,
who for years was associated
with Colonel Robins in the pro-
greSSive political movement, said
he was positive he had met and
spoke with the prohibitionist a
few hours before it. became
known that the Federal Govern

whereabouts. He said:
"He was wearing q black

Revelation that more than 900

today from Harry j. Anslinger,
Federal narcotics commissioner.
In a drive to rid the medical
profession of unScrupulous prac-

672 cases to State medical boards
for prosecution. The result was
negligible. The boards revoked j.
censes of but 81 physicians, SuS-
pended eight others and placed %
on probation.
Evidence was submitted by An
singer to show that all 672 doctors
were known addicts or had been
convicted on narcotic charges.
No greater success was obtained
in reporting druggists. Out of 1913
cases presented, there were two
revocations, seven suspensions and
one probationary action, AnSlinger
declared.

Should the war demon rear its ter

and at the moment the kindling seems

Should war come, no doubt a draft

1t will be remembered that the guard

Of that difficulty. The part played
in the World War looms large in the
| history of the National Guard. We
find that of divisions in combat, IL
were National Guard, 7 Regular Army
and II National Army. The Guard
spent OCT days in battle; Regulars 1854
days, and Nationals, 603. In casualties
we find that the National Guard suf-

classes, having 100,219, to 1882 for
the Regulars, and 59,257 for the Ma
