 Democratic Economy
 The claims of Democratic candi- dates that they would reduce terri torial expenses, were then attacked hy MT. Benjamin. He said their promises were indefinite and brought to his mind varius meas. ures they had advocated and put through. He mentioned the bills ap- money for aid to the un- of the territory amount ing to about $400,000 in various funds. A direct indigent fund to be administered under Gov Parks was cut down by $5000, although, declared MT. Benjamin, the full amount of $25,OOO in the bill was ss---S- ---------- of the territory not reached by other funds. The cut, he said, was due to a Democratic senator, who then turned around and voted for an ap- to reopen the fish hatch cry at Ketchikan.

Dr.. c. W. Stiles Sets Out to
Disprove Rockefeller Foun-

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

One Of the worlds greatest disease
fighters of a past generation has
emerged angrily from the peace of his
Washington laboratory and is riding
forth alone to do battle with a dragon
which he believes is devouring a people.
DR.. Charles Wardell stiles, who re-
tired from the United States Public
Health Service several years ago, has
thrown down the gauntlet both to the
insidious hookworm of the Southern
mountains and farm lands and to the
powerful Rockefeller Foundation in the
interest, he says, of many thousands of
blighted children who seem to have
been abandoned to form a meal for the
dragon.
DR.. StileE told the Biological Society
OF Washington about it last night. His
name is about as intimately associated
with hookworm as that of Walter Reed
with yellow fever or Koch with tuber-
culoS1s. 1t was about a quarter of q
century ago that his great fight was
Waged against this parasite, which lit

ON BOARD THE PRESIDENTIAL
SPECIAL EN- ROUTE TO WASHING
TON, November 14.-President Hoover
hurried eastward today toward what
may prove an historic conference be-
tween himself and President-elect
Roosevelt over debt questions Of mo-
ment to the world.
Informed virtually all debtor nations
of the United States intended to seek
suspension Of payments due December
Is, President Hoover yesterday made
public lengthy telegram he sent to
the New York Governor at Albany in
viting him to visit the White House
this week to seek q common basis of
action extending into the next admins
tration.
Up until early this morning the Chief
Executive had not received an accept
ance of his invitation, but nevertheless
he laid plans for such parley shortly
after his return to the Executive Man
sion Wednesday. 1t was learned au-
thoritatively he has various definite
steps IN mind for dealing with the situ-
alton as it touches individual nations,
but desires a cooperative conference
with the President-elect before taking
action.
Asks Personal Conference.
II am prepared" he wired to Roose-
velt, Ito deal with the subject as far as
1t lies in the power of the Executive,
but 1t must be our common wish to
tHifh fC D..
fashion for the common good of the
country.
Il am loathe to proceed with rec
concentrations to the Congress until I
can have an opportunity to confer with
you personally at some convenient date
in the near future
Mr.. Hoover spoke also of the world
economic conference and the arms con-
ference efforts which would continue
on into the Roosevelt administration
upon which IAN interchange of views
would be in the public interest
In his telegram Mr.. Hoover reiterated
his debts stand as opposed to cancel
lation in any FORM" but said I'VE
should be receptive to proposals from
our debtors for tangible compensation
in other forms than in direct payment
in expansion of markets for the products
of our labor and our farms"
Limited by Congress.
"If negotiations are to be undertaken
as requested by these governments" he
said, "protracted and detailed discus
sions would be necessary which could
not be concluded during my admins
tration. Any negotiations of this ques-
ton on the basis of the requests OF
these governments is limited by the
resolution of the Congress.
"And If there is to be any change in
the attitude of the Congress- it will be
greatly affected by the views of those

CABINET MEN BACK
OF ROOSEVELT BID
Stimson and Mills Urged
Hoover to Call in His
Successor.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

President Hoover, following the ad-
vice of his chief lieutenants, Secretary
Henry L. Stimson and Secretary Ogden
Mills, has invited the President-elect,
Gov. Roosevelt, to come to Washington
and consult with the cabinet regarding
the question of the revision Of war
debts raised last week by the British
and French governments.
In quarters close to the President
elect it is believed that Mr.. Roosevelt
will accept Mr. Hoover's invitation and
will come to Washington in the course
of this week.
The cause of this action is the two
notes received last week by the
State Department from London
and Paris, in which the British and
the French governments have asked
the United States Government, in two
similar notes, which were made public
by the State Department this morning,
for the postponement OF the payment
of the annuity due on December Is, IN
order to enable the interested govern
ments to begin negotiations for thor
ough revision of the war debts.
Based on U. S. Action.
The British and the French govern
ments base the claim for a revision ex-
clusively on the actions of the Ameri-
can government since June, 1881.
Neither of the two countries claims that
they are incapable of paying their debts,
nor do they appear to ask for favors
from the people of the United States.
They merely recall the actions Of Presi-
dent Hoover since the proclamations OF
the intergovernmental debt holiday and
substantiate their claims on the fact
that they had accepted the proposals
of the President as basis for the re-
adjustment of all the war debts.
After reminding the American Gov
ernment that the President had pro-
posed a one-year suspension Of the in
tergovernmental debts 'tn order to re-
lieve the pressure Of the difficulties re-
sulting from the fall In prices and lack
Of confidence in economic and political
stability" the British note says: "The
hopes which were early raised by the
Presidents initiative have unfortunately

i. S. URGED TO BUY
WATERWAY LANDS
New York Association Head
Tells Senators Plan Would
Insure Benefit.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The proposal that the United States
should purchase all lands in Canada
south of the st. Lawrence River be-
tween the Great Lakes and the Atlantic
Ocean in the event of a st. Lawrence
waterway treaty was made today by
Peter G. Ten Eyck, president of the
New York State Waterways Association.
Testifying before a Senate Foreign
Relations Subcommittee, in opposition
to ratification of the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence deep waterway treaty, Ten
Eyck said the acquisition of such lands
would be necessary to insure the United
States the same benefit that Canada
would derive from the waterway
development.
This is the sort of a treaty that
should be negotiated before the present
treaty for developing the st. Lawrence
Canal Is considered at ALL" Ten Eyck
told the subcommittee.
Course of Boundary.
The International boundary follows
the st. Lawrence from Lake Ontario to
a point in Northern New York. There
the river departs from the United States
border and flows more than 1000 miles
NortheaStward toward the Gulf of the
st. Lawrence and the Atlantic.
The territory Ten Eyck referred to
embraces New Brunswick, Nova Scotia
and part of Southern Quebec.
Ten Eyck urged rejection of the
waterway treaty, asserting that the
project over a 50-year period will cost
the United States and Canada $3,000,-

Y, November 14-President-el

House conference on the war debt sit
uation.

since last Friday were Cancelled.
The announcement of receipt of Mr.
Hoover's invitation to Mr.. Roosevelt to
discuss the latest notes from England
and France on reopening the debt ques-
tion was made informally.
This course was assumed to have been
taken by Mr.. Roosevelt to allow prepa-
ration of the text and also to allow
ample time for the reply to be in the
hands of Mr.. Hoover before it was made
public at Albany.
