GARNER DECLARED
GRATIFIED BY BOOM
Efforts by Speakers Friends Not
Unwelcome to Him, Con.
nally Asserts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Connally. who, with Senator
Sheppard, both Texas Democrats, have
started a full-fedged boom for Speaker
Garner, yesterday informed Fort
Worth inquirer that mo American
citizen is insensible" to the efforts of
his friends to place him in the White
House.
The inquirer, Jesse M. Brown, had
asked Senator Connally the Speakers
attitude toward the movement started
by his friends. Senator Connally wired
Brown as follows:
While John Garner Is not a candi-
date in the common acceptation of
that term, but is busy with his duties
as Speaker, no American citizen is
lnsensible to the efforts of his friends
in advancing his cause toward the
presidency of the United States.
"On my own responsibility I feel
warranted in assuring you that the
spontaneous efforts of his friends will
not be unwelcome to those Of us who
are advancing his cause"

CURTIS WARNS US.
TO Be PREPARED
Calls for Complete National
Defense in Address at
Philadelphia.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February 90
Complete national defense was de-
manded tonight by Vice President Cur
tis, in an address here, in which he
referred to the conflict in the Far East.
The Vice President drew lesson
from the words of George Washing
ton and also recalled in connection
with the Oriental disturbance that it
was Washington who issued the first
neutrality proclamation.
Speaking at the dedication Of the
Administration Building OF the school
district Of Philadelphia. he said:
To-day. when we read of the condi-
tionS in the Far East, we recall that
history tells us of the first formal docu-
ment Of its kind in the world history
it was the first neutrality proclamation.
1t was issued by George Washington.
Calls for Preparedness.
LAS Washington advised, it was never
more necessary than now that the coun-
try be kept in state of complete ma
tional defense 1t would be wonderful If
agree upon plan of disarmament which
would reduce their armies and nav1eS
to the smallest strength needed for
defense. But the fear of offense keeps
them from doing SO.
UNLESS all will disarm, none will.
So We must keep both our Army and
Navy strong enough for complete
national defense So, too, must we keep
up the strength of that new branch Of
the common defense, the air force.
I'VE hope for, have done, and are
doing everything possible to bring about
world peace, but it must be peace with
honor; peace not involving us in the
political quarrels of other nations.
Washington's advice Of no entangling
alliances might almost have been given
with present-day conditions in mind.
Assails Racketeers.
Now, as then, we should chart and
follow our own course, not that Of any
other nation. Now, as then, should
We be indignant at every attempt Of q
foreign power to establish an influence
in our councils.
To-day there are in our midst men Of
alien thought and race who would sow
the seeds of discord and disunion among
us; who would overthrow our cherished
ideals and traditions. We must rid
our beloved country of all such, and of
all alien criminals, and of all alien
racketeerS. The sooner such aliens are
deported the better it will be for ALL"

WRIGHT SIGHTS
CANCELLATION

That something only slightly
different than absolute cancella-
ton Of. the war debts owed to
the United States by Europe is
inevitable, Gage P. Wright, editor
of Business Economic Digest,
finds the concensus of opinion of
more than so observers.
It is the expectation that fluc-
tuations in daily quotations Of
U. S. securities will reflect the
slow growth of sentiment toward
a point of general acceptance by
the United States public that a
drastic revision of the debt Situa-
ton is necessary.
Since outstanding wartime
issues of the U. S. Government
may be regarded as no more than
refinancing of European debts
to us, it is probable that the first
reaction to a recognition that
debt revision is inescapable will
be a tendency to question this
Governments attitude toward it's
own obligations.
