McNutt Urged to Name
White to Relief Post
Veteran South Bend Civic
Worker Is Backed for
State Post.

Appointment of Jay E. White,
veteran South Bend social and
civic worker as director of the state
unemployment bureau, today was
being urged on Governor Elect Paul
v. McNutt by American Legion and
welfare organization members.
The post now is held by DR.. John
H. Hewitt. 1t was created by Gov
ernor Harry G. Leslie when unem-
ployment over the state became
acute.
White, one of the states out
standing authorities on employee CO.
operation, a progressive and a lib
eral, for thirteen years was con-
nected with the cooperative de-
partment Of the Studebaker Cor
poration.
He resigned several months ago to
do field work for McNutt.
In 1881, White was runner-up for
the post of state commander of the
American Legion. but was defeated
when Senators James E. Watson
and Arthur r. Robinson supported
Ralph Gates, former Republican dis
trict chairman.
At the outbreak Of the war, White
was engaged in the export business
in New York. Selling his business

0oOOoo,00O.
The condition was that the allies
would let Germany off, provided the
United States radically would reduce
or cancel the war debts.
TINE United States position has
l. been that the reparations due
from Germany and the war debts
owed this government are unrelated
that, regardless of any reduction
in German reparations payments,
Uncle Sam still expects payment of
the debts owed him.
A very large part of the money
that Uncle Sam already has col
lected from his war time associates
has come originally from America
in the form Of postwar loans to
Germany.
Fairly recent figures show that in
a certain period the allies paid
Uncle Sam $2,00O,OO0,O00 on their
debts. In this same period, Uncle
Same had lent Germany $780,
10000 and Germany had paid
100000 in reparations to the
allies.
Thus, in practice, this government
had lent Germany all she had paid
her creditors and a half billion
more.

and President ELECT Roosevelt are
trying to solve, as the result of the
action of European nations in ask
ing suspension of debt payments due
to the United States on Dec. Is,
with a view to revision.
The big money bag at the left
shows the total amount of the war
debts owed the United States by
the thirteen principal debtor ma
tons, due to be paid in sixty years.
1t also shows the division between
principal and interest.
The bars show the individual
status of the five biggest debtors
how much they owe, how much of
this is represented by principal and
by interest and how much they have
paid on their debt thus far.
1t will be noticed that the interest
rates differ widely, because of
varying concessions granted by
Uncle Sam.
For every dollar originally loaned
Europe, the United States is due to
collect approximately 81 in prin-
cipal and interest over the period of
sixty years.
In this sense, there has been no
cancellation" of any part of the
debt. But in the debt settlement
agreements with the various nations
several years ago the original inter-
est rates were reduced greatly on
the grounds of capacity to pay
and for other reasons.
On this basis, some StatisticianS
figure we have Cancelled" 23.9 per
cent of Europe's obligations.
THE gist Of the present situation
Il is that these nations intended
to pay their debts to Uncle Sam
with reparations payments they col
lected from Germany.
Germany, according to the Young
plan, was supposed TO pay the al
lies s26,377, 900 ,O00-principal and
interest-in installments over the
next fifty-nine years.
Similarly, these nations were to
pay the United States principal and
interest to a total Of so, lab ,000, 600

method. The organized breweries
controlled the saloon through
mortgage bonds and the ability to
control their supplies of beer.
Thousands of saloons were
financed with brewers money,
much as the big oil companies now
finance gas stations. Money was
dumped into doubtful states to
control elections.
Members Of the United States
Brewers Association paid dues of
from a half-cent to more than a
dollar barrel, according to how
badly the money was needed to
fight the dryS. A million dollars
was poured into the fight in Ohio
in five years.
But by this time the drys were
playing the game, too. The Anti
Saloon League had seized the
leadership from other dry organi-
cations.
1t gradually gained the support
of most of the evangelical churches
and the churches as such were in
the fight up to the hubs.

relentless foe of the saloon, and

thirty years work. Literature by

When the World war came,
there were again thirteen bone

ular.
Capitalization in Washington,
drastic measures of all kinds, be-
came the order of the day. Every

brewers and their beer, became
suspect.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Presi-

mend legislation for sterilization of
the coal industry in his forthcom-

Such action was urged on him by
Representative Clyde Kelly (Pa.)
joint author of the Davis-K Kelly coal
bill, now pending in congress, and
at the conclusion of a long confer

"the President will have something

In a speech at Clarksburg, w. Va,
ten days before the election PreSi-
dent Hoover expressed his concern
over the plight of the bituminous
coal industry, and expressed the
opinion that marketing associations
must be formed. In an earlier talk
at Wheeling, President Elect Frank

for the coal industry.

In July, 1917, Senator Morris
Sheppard'S resolution to submit
a bone-dry amendment went
through the senate, most of the
short debate was concerned with
it's war aspects.
Then it passed the house, with
provisions allowing the brewers a
year of grace after final adoption,
and allowing seven years for that
adoption. There was much else
to think about.
On Jan. 8, 1918, the first state,
Mississippi, ratified. In Septem-
