MILLS EMPHASIZES
SOUND CURRENCY
Roosevelt Is Challenged to
State His Position on
Initiation.
HELD IN DEATH OF EMPLOYER.
BY the Associated Press.


HARTFORD, Conn, October %
Secretary of the Treasury Ogden L..
Mills, speaking at Republican rally
tonight, said that "the cloud that over
hangs our future is the possibility Of a
change of administration next March A."
Il am not here to threaten, but to
warm" said Mills. THE dangers that
have been averted could come back
over night through human folly and
lack of ability in conducting the affairs
of the Nation.
Imitation measures passed by the
Democratic House would have brought
disaster last Winter. They are still
capable of bringing disaster this
Winter"
Greenback Movement.
Asserting that imitation is the "funda-
mental, underlying issue of this cam
paign," Secretary Mills, who came here
after attending the Yale-Dartmouth
foot game at New Haven, said:
The greenback movement will be
with us during the next IL months,
no matter who is elected President.
Herbert Hoover has fought and will
fight to the last ditch to preserve
sound currency.
Gov. Roosevelt has not denounced
these proposals of imitation. I chal-
lenge him to say between now and
election day where he stands on the
question"
Every seat in the gold and pur-
pie Bushnell Hall, which has a capac-
ity of about 1890. was filled as Mills
followed Senator Hiram Bingham, who
is seeking reelection, on the plat
form.
Reviews Opponents Campaign.
The Treasury chief reviewed Gov
Roosevelt's campaign and made plea
for continuance of the protective tar
iff before starting his discussion OF in
flated currency.
Gov. Roosevelt has sought elec-
ton" he said, "by negative vote Oh
discomfort rather than by an afi1rma-
tive response to a program OF con-
structive action. With one or two ex-
ceptions, no one knows where he
stands on any controversial issue"
Mills called the protective tariff the
cornerstone of the American economic
system"
ut cannot be disturbed" he said
particularly in times like these, with
out shaking the very foundations
This is no time for a tariff revision to
add to uncertainty. We do not need
a tariff revision but tariff truce.
Under President Hoover's leader
ship. the credit of the Government
has been upheld; the integrity Of the
monetary system preserved, and the
entire private credit structure Of the
Nation saved"

SAYS RAIL WORKERS AIDED.
Hoover Tells of Relief Extended to
Carriers.

GRAFTON, w. Va, october 20 R.-
President Hoover said in rear plat
form speech today that action Of his
administration to aid the railroads had
benefited all employees Of the system.
You will recollect that early in the
depression I secured an agreement be-
tween industrial leaders, including the
railway leaders and the leaders Of labor,
that there would be no reduction in
wages" he said.
THAT was the first time in the his
tory of IS depressions in the United
States that the first act of the depres-
sion was not the so-called liquidation
of wages, placing the first burden of
the readjustment of the depression on
the backs of workers"
Mr.. Hoover said later readjustment
of wages was ''the contribution of the
men to the stability of their industry"
He said advances to railroads had en-
abled the systems to repair equipment
''in order that with the gradual re-
sumption of traffic they shall be able to
meet that demand and thus increase
and maintain employment"

FORT WAYNE, Ind, october 90
Defeating the new post Office here.
Ferry K. Heath, Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury, today reviewed progress OF
the Federal building program and
praised the new Indiana limestone
structures which are being raised in the
National Capital to house Federal Gov
ernment activities.
Indiana is a great State with enor-
nous resources" said Maj. Heath, ''and
among those resources is a deposit of
some of the most beautiful building
stcne in the country. In the quarries
and fabricating plants of Indiana" he
said, hundreds upon hundreds of men
are working today producing building
material for the program Of the Federal
Government"
State Greatly Benefited.
with the possible exception Of Penn
sylvania, Indiana is probably the largest
beneficiary of this great expenditure
that is now going on
Maj. Heath seized the opportunity to
defend the Hoover administration. This
beautiful building" he said lis a per-
feet refutation of the statements and
claims made against the record of this
administration by the Democratic party.
This building is a concrete illustration
OF many Of the accomplishments of the
Hoover administration most of which
are being denied daily on the stump by
Democratic orators
In three years" he said, Congress
has appropriated nearly S600,000, 900 for
the use OF the Treasury Department in
carrying on public building construc-
ton. One hundred million dollars Of
this amount was appropriated by the
last Congress in the latter part Of July.
Jobless Aided Directly.
There are 400 buildings under con-
struction at the present time scattered
all over the United States, and the ex-
penditures for this fiscal year for actual
construction work, the funds going di-
rectly into the relief of unemployment,
will amount to s123, 1000 600. This re-
lief to the building industry, through
the Treasury program, is 10 times as
much as has ever been given in any
year since the Republic was founded,
prior to this present program"
In referring to plans to purchase
more than 400 sites for new Federal
buildings, Maj Heath estimated that
the work would entail inspection Of
over 4,000 offered locations.

REICH MAY RE-ENTER FARLEY.
New French Arms Proposal Is Well
Received.

hcCeIvcO.
BERLIN. October 20 (P).-Germany
may consent to resume participation in
the World Disarmament Conference at
Geneva, government oficials said to-
day, as q result Of the new French
proposal for abolition of mercenary and
standing armies in favor OF militia
forces.
These would be one important pro-
viso, however. namely, that the other
powers first agree that any agreements
achieved shall apply equally to all
signatories, including Germany.
These opinions, although expressed
by authoritative persons, were entirely
informal and unofficial The govern
ment itself is withholding comment un-
til it has examined the complete text
of the French plan as outlined to Par
lament yesterday by Premier Herriot.
Seems to Imply Equality"
One spokesman said that the French
proposal seems to imply that all states
should be treated equally in the matter
OF armaments and that what applies to
one shall apply to all.
IF that Interpretation be correct,
Premier Herriot certainly has opened
the door for Germany's return to the
4<iSdl SOlllCicIlCC.
Nevertheless, to avoid misunderstand-
ings, we must insist that this implied
general equality be acknowledged by
many's equality.
Don't think we are stubborn. It Is
precisely because we welcome the gen.
eral trend Of NJ Herriot's speech, and
because we desire to avert failure Of
the disarmament negotiations that we
want this point, so vital to us, cleared
up before we agree to return to &C.
neva."
Others who commented were particu-
larly pleased that the French appear to
have abandoned the contention that
the Versailles treaty cannot be modified
under any circumstances.
Admission Treaty Not Sacrosanct."
ton of the ReichSwehr," government
mission by France that the treaty Of
Versailles no longer is to be regarded as
sacrosanct, for abolition would mean
setting aside part five Of the treaty.
What the premier forgot to mention
IS that the ReichSwehr is not Ger
man creation, but an invention forced
upon us by the allies. II the Reichs-
wehr is a menace, 1t was the allies
who, foisting it upon Germany, made
it so."
It was agreed that the French pro-
posal for international control Of arms
probably would be acceptable to the
German government, providing all ma
tions are equally controlled.
IAN international police force might
be supported by Germany" said one
official, provided its strength exceeds
that of any single national army. and
provided the plan has not the faults OF
Andre Tardieu's proposals, whereby the
strong nations would become stronger
and the weak nations weaker"
