GERMANY MAKES
 GREAT DEMANDS AT CONF ERENCE

REDISTRIBUTION
 OF WORLDS GOLD
Changes Regarding Polish Corridor, Eastern
 Frontiers Wanted

BULLETIN = LAUSANNE,
 June 29.-Unconfirmed reports
 are that the Franco-German
 reparations deadlock has been
 broken with an agreement by
 the Germans on the principle
 of payment of something on
 account" Heretofore Chan
 celIor von Papen held that
 Germany could not pay under
 any circumstances.
 LAUSANNE, June 29-Chancel- Tor von Papen, of Germany, laid before the Powers at the war debts and separations conference today a demand for revision of the Yer sailles treaty as necessary as a pre- liminary for Germans participa- ton in the economic reconstruction of the world.
 The German Chancellor demand ed that all discrimination against Germany be revised out of the treaty.
 Replies to Question
 Von Papens statement was 1T reply to a question proposed by British Premier Ramsay MacDon- aid asking what concessions Ger many might make in order tx facilitate definite settlement 1T separations problems. :.
 The German Chancellor said World confidence cannot be re- established if the Powers which emerged as victors from the World War do not decide to eliminate discrimination created by the treaty of Versailles"
 Many Other Changes
 It was later learned, on good authority, that von Papen told Premier Herriot, of France, that Germany demands revision of the Polish Corridor and Eastern front iers, redistribution of the worlds gold supply, factor which Ger many believes is prerequisite to a revival of business.

LONDON, June 29.-Most of the British Dominions will take axes with them to Ottawa in July to grind on the imperial grindstone.
 If everybody takes a turn at the stone, and so much grinding does mt wear it away before the job is done, the mother country and the Dominions may face other na- tions with marketing combina- tion which could leave the rest of the world out in the cold.
 The food and raw material needs of the 45,0O0,000 people who live in the British Isles are a tempt ing bait to the Dominions.
 Meet As Equals
 Granted statutory equality with the Motherland only this year, they meet with Britain prepared to bar ter preferences for Britain's man. ufactured goods in return for Brit ish preference for their own ex- ports of primary articles.
 To a smaller extent the De- minions look to each other for de- velOpment of mutual markets. But broadly speaking all the Domin- ions are net exporters of primary materials and net importers of goods.
 Canada, for instance, primarily would be satisfied if the imperial conference brings a dominion wheat quota and more extensive use of Canadian lumber and wood- pulp products-such as news print in Britain.
 In return, already existing pref erences on iron a6d steel manu- factures and textiles might be in- creased ed-presumably to the partic-

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. IA
G.N.SD.-They made Gene Tun-
ney only a major on the gov
ernor's staff in Connecticut. If
he came here to live they'd make
him a major general, no less, and
probably give him a front room
in the governors mansion at Au-
gusta.
Tunney, the Democrats con-
cede, played an important role in
the extraordinary campaign which
saw the retired heavyweight
champion turn political gladiator
and Maine turn Democratic for
the first time in 18 years.
He came all the way from
Paris to keep a promise to speak
here. The Democratic sages were
thankful.
Tunney packed them in. The
retired champion commanded au-
diences which outstripped the rec
ords set here by Bryan and Teddy

Wire to Sanders Points to Need
of Greater Effort Against
Foe in Uphill Fight

President Hoover and his
campaign organization have
been jolted into a realization
that strenuous measures are
necessary if the Republicans
are to retain possession of the
White House.
The unexpected Democratic
sweep of Maine in the State cleo
tionS has served to remodel en-
tirely the political strategy
mapped out originally for the
President.
Instead of remaining aloof from
the national arena on the prom
Use that his every moment was
occupied by duties in Washington,
it seems certain that Mr.. Hoover
from now until election time will
press his case more vigorously.
May Go to Coast
Three out Of w ashing g t on
speeches had been planned for the
President, to be delivered in Min
neapolis, Chicago and New York.
Indications now are that he will
make more. Ohio may be touched,
and it is possible the Executive
will go west of the Mississippi
River, perhaps even as far as the
Pacific Coast.
An almost unprecedented mes
sage from the President to his ma
tional campaign manager, Everett
Sanders. bore testimony to the
seriousness of the election Situa-
tion as seen through Republican
eyes.
Sanders Confident
Sanders had telegraphed the
President:
"The narrow margin of Demo
cratic success in the Maine
gubernatOrial contest is plainly
insufficient to assure that
State to the Democratic Presi-
DENTAL candidate eight weeks
hence, and 1 firmly expect you
to carry that State. / was, of
course, disappointed in the vote
but not greatly disturbed"
The President wired Sanders:
"The result of the election
in Maine imposes need for re-
newed and stronger effort that
the people may fully under
stand the issues at stake. We
have known all along that,
owing to the ravages of the
world depression, our fight Is
a hard one; but we have a
strong case and a right cause"
"Our task is to acquaint
every man and woman in the
country with the facts and is
sues which confront the ma
tiOn."
This telegram was sent only
after the President had spent
nearly an entire day in confer
ence with Secretary of Treasury
Ogden Mills and Postmaster Gen
eral Walter F.. Brown, his chief
political advisers.
Uphill Fight Admitted
Mills and Brown both ad-
mitted, when they left the White
House late yesterday afternoon,
that the Republican party was
facing an uphill fight.
The President, prior to Mon
days balloting in Maine, had
been pressed to invade the West.

FATHER TAKES
To BED AFTER
HIS RESCUE
Scarcity Of Food to Prevent
Group From Staying at Any
of Greenland Towns

A NGMAG SALIK, Green
land, Sept. II (LN.S. ).- Safe
after their adventure with the
elements, the "fIying family"
of HutchinSons and their com
panions commenced prepara-
tions to go home here today.
Rescued dramatically from al
most certain death after their
plane was wrecked by waves on
the Greenland Coast, where it
was forced down in a snowstorm,
the party of eight owed their
lives to the valor of Capt. Thomas
Watson, of the British trawler
Lord Talbot, who found them in
a desolate fjord 80 hours after
receiving their first distress
signals.
Hutchinson to Bed
The party, consisting of Col.
George r. Hutchinson, his wife,
two daughters and four COM
panions, Peter Redpatch. Gerald
Altfilisch, Joseph Ruff and
Norman Alley, suffered from the
extreme cold while they were
marooned.
Hutchinson was so severely
affected that he had to retire
to bed when he arrived here.
No fears were felt for him, how
ever.
His plane, pounded by waves
after the enforced landing, was
complete wreck. Parts of it were
Salvaged and taken aboard the
ship with the refugees.
Watson Can Aid
1t was learned from Aberdeen,
Scotland, that the owners of the
Lord Talbot have instructed Wat
son to proceed with his fishing
cruise, although empowering him
to take the rescued fliers away
from Greenland.
Should the Hutchinsons wish
eventually to be taken any place,
Watson is empowered to take
them there. It was believed the
Lord Talbot would soon remove
the party either to Reykjavik,
Iceland, or to Aberdeen.
Means of leaving here had
presented a serious problem to
the eight adventures. since no
Danish ship is scheduled to leave
the coast before next year, owing
to the rapidly forming ice.
Food Very Scarce
At the same time, with food
as scarce as it always is here,
it would have been unwise, in
the opinion of authorities, to
permit the party to remain, and
for that reason the Danish gov
ernment was prepared to send
a ship for the Hutchinsons if
the Lord Talbot found itself un-
able to transport them.
