FORBES TO QUIT SOON.
State Department Fails to Comment
on Toxic Dispatch.

President Hoover it was learned authori-
tatively yesterday, has selected Joseph
G. Grew, American Ambassador to
Turkey and former Undersecretary of
State, to be Ambassador to japan. He
will succeed w. Cameron Forbes, whose
resignation will be rendered shortly in
line with his recent announcement of
his intention to retire Although the
State Department declined officially to-
day to comment on the Toxic report
that the acceptability of Ambassador
Grew had been referred to the Toxic
foreign office, it was learned that the
former UnderSecretary OF State has
been under consideration and there
would be no delay in filling the i'm
portant Toxic post. The departments
failure to deny the dispatches from
Toxic was regarded as tantamount to
acknowledgement of its correctness.
Ambassador Forbes, who came home
from Japan in the Autumn made no
secret of his reluctance to return, re-
calling the understanding when he &C
copied the appointment to stay only
about a year. AS the result of serious
ness of the Manchurian situation at
that time and his knowledge Of the
attitude of the japanese government,
he was prevailed upon to go back.
Then and more recently, when reports
of his resignation were current, the
suggestion was made that his immedi-
ate retirement would make it appear
that the situation in Toxic was dis
pleasing to the administration. He
received his appointment from President
Hoover.

bandits with pistols walked into an ex-

and escaped with three boxes of jewelry.
Police at first set the loss at 5000, 600,

question Mrs. LIE Roy to determine
what jewelry she was wearing.
It was found many valuable gems
were overlooked, and police said
Mrs LIE Roy probably was wearing
several additional pieces. The loss was
partly insured.
The bandits escaped by running the
elevator to the basement, removing the
fuses, walking upstairs to the street
level and driving off in a car with a
fifth member of the gang
The servants and the elevator oper-
ator were left bound with picture wire,

BREAKING LEVEES
FLOOD NEW AREAS
National Relief Is Urged.
Editorial Says "Red
Cross Must Act"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS, Tenn January 16.-A
cry for far-reaching national relief in
the flood stricken areas of North
western Mississippi became more pro-
nounced today as the Tallahatchie
River broke additional levees and sent
water over thousands of acres where
in thousands are homeless.
Ernest P. Kirick, director of disaster
relief for the National Red Cross,
estimated $500 families have been
driven from their homes in nine
Mississippi counties, but local relief
agencies placed the number at 10000
to 10000 people who are homeless ,and
in need of aid
Some relief workers were outspoken
in their criticism of the Red Cross, and
the Memphis Evening Appeal, in a
front-page editorial, demanded more
action and termed the situation "a ma
jor catastrophe in Mississippi"
Says Red Cross Must Act.
1.-The Red Cross must act now" the
editorial said. There is little time for
investigation"
krlck telephoned TO washington from
Clarksdale, Miss, that Red Cross chap
tiers were feeding several hundred fam
lilies and were prepared to deliver gro
ceries by boat to flood victims.
H. L. Gary, a commissioner in the
Matthews Bayou levee district, charged
the Red Cross was refusing assistance
to tenant farmers, but Krick said the
tenant farmers would be aided
Relief will be given them only after
our committee make Investigations
into the financial conditions of the
planters affected" Kirick said. I'VE
hope to have the relief work complete
ly organized by Monday.
Jobless Would Invade Area.
THE Red Cross can't rush in and
furnish everyone who requests food and
clothing" he explained. IF We did
that, hundreds of men in adjacent
States, who are out of work, would
come into the flood area to be taken
care of during the Winter"
Gary said SO per cent of the planters
in the flooded territory are "on the
verge of bankruptcy and cannot care

Aim Elimination of Dry Issue
From Campaign to Avoid
Split in Strength.
PROHIBITION SUPPORTERS
IN G. O. p. SHIFT STAND
Appearance of Question at Demo-
cratic National Convention
Is Held Certain.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The drive to have placed in the ma
tional platforms of both the Republican
and Democratic parties this year refer
endum" planks on prohibition is grow
ing in intensity as the opening of these
conventions draws nearer, it became
apparent here yesterday.
Let the people decide" is the slogan
adopted by the political leaders who
are advocating this procedure.
What these leaders have in the back
OF their heads is an impelling desire to
get prohibition as far as possible out of
the political equation. Their reason is
Simple-the wet and dry issue cuts
across both Republican and Democratic
parties threatening to bring not only
intra-party dissension in primary and
convention, but also to split party
strength in the general election itself.
Will Satisfy Many.
If it is found to be possible to take
prohibition out of the campaign, by
this referendum plank route in both
party platforms, wet Republicans will
rejoice and even dry Democrats will
heave a sigh of relief. And dry Re-
wet Republican vote and have little
hope of gaining Democratic dry sup
port in the coming campaign, will be
satisfied Those Republicans who be-
lieve-as some of them do-that
there is another national victory in
the prohibition issue" now look ask
ance at the referendum proposal. They
feel that it would be better to have
the Democrats take the wet side and
the G. o. P. the dry and fight 1t out
at the polls.
More and more dry Republicans are
inclining to the referendum plank pro-
posal, it is learned. This does not
mean that there are not still plenty of
determined opponents of the liquor
traffic on the Republican side who will
decline to support referendum plank.
Senator Borah of Idaho, for example,
considers the proposal absurd" and
merely designed to get the old parties
with as little intra-party friction as
possible Senator Robinson of Indiana,
Senator Capper of Kansas, and Senator
Howell of Nebraska, are all adamant
against the referendum idea, up to date.
The Democrats realize quite clearly
that the question of q referendum plank
is coming before their national con-
vention Resolutions Committee, and in
all probability before the convention
itself. Chairman John J. Raskob, with
his home rule" referendum plank, has
made this perfectly clear. And some
dry Democratic leaders in Senate and
House are playing with the referendum
idea as lone way OUT of the troubles
which the liquor question threatens to

DEBT FARLEY DELAY
IS URGED BY LAVAL .
Talk With u. S. Ambassador
Edge Is Reported in
Paris.
BY JOSEPH E. SHARKEY,
Associated Press staff Correspondent


PARIS, January l6.-Premier Pierre
Laval informed American Ambassador
Walter E. Edge today of Frances de-
sire to postpone the Lausanne repara-
tions conference until the European
views can be harmonized, it was learned
in authentic quarters.
In conversation with the AmbasSa-
dor, the premier was understood to
have said he thought a one-year ex-
tension of the Hoover moratorium
would be advisable. The moratorium
on Germany's reparations payments
expires next July. The Lausanne con-
ference of interested nations is ten
tatively scheduled for January rs.
Premier Laval deemed it to be his
duty, he added, to put the United
States in touch with the situation. He
said he also thought it would be help
full If the European nations could OBJ
tain some idea as to the eventual
American attitude toward intergovern-
mental debts in event the moratorium
was extended.
Needs Time for Harmony.
France was inclined to believe, he
told Ambassador Edge, that it might
be best to postpone the reparations
conference, as more time was needed to
bring the views of the European ma
tons into harmony.
The premier also was believed to
have said France was ready to help
Germany in the spirit of the joint
statement issued after his talks with
President Hoover at Washington. That
statement recognized that prior to the
expiration Of the Hoover year of post
ponemert some agreement regarding
intergovernmental debts may be nee
essary covering the period OF business
depression"
"The initiative in this matter should
be taken at an early date by the Eu-
ropean powers principally concerned"
the Hoover-Laval statement added. 1t
was understood Premier Laval ex-
pressed to Ambassador Edge the opin-
ion it might be better to hold the
Preparations Conference after the cleo
tons to be held in various European
countries in the Spring.
Sees More Definite Solution.
The premier expressed a hope this
would increase the likelihood of obtain
ing a more definite solution of the
reparations problem by a conference of
| the great powers.
French newspapers have been en-
| phatic that nothing definite could be
! hoped for until the American attitude
| toward the question of continuing or
stopping war debt payments had been
| determined.

sailors, presumably on the PREPARATIONS

SECRETARY is OPPOSED
TO REVEALING DETAILS

ferry, Envoy to Colombia-0p-
ponents Silent After Encounter.

An assertion by Secretary Stimson
that secret State Department informa-
ton had leaked" brought sharp clash
yesterday with Senator Johnson, Re
publican, of California, in an executive
session of the Senate Finance Com
mittee
The lareup resulted from remark
by Stimson that questions asked by
Senator johnson in the committees
investigation of the fiotation of foreign
bonds indicated information from the
departments files"
It ended with a statement by Mr..
Stimson that he intended no insult to
Senator johnson and did not insinuate
that johnson had obtained his knowl-
edge first hand from department clerks
The Senator, in turn, dropped the sub
ject and would not comment on it
afterward.
Opposes Barring Details.
stimson was called before the COM
mittee to explain the departments re-
fusal to furnish correspondence from
the departments files on the Barco oil
concession and loans to Colombia which
the group has been investigating.
He reiterated his belief it would be
bad policy to make the correspondence
public, but finally offered to go through
il and give the committee any that
could be published without harm.
Stimson also told the committee JET
ferson Caffery, American Minister to
Colombia, should not be called to the
stand.
Senator johnson had indicated he
would call Gallery in connection with
the loan and concession investigation,
but dropped the subject after Stimson's
statement.
johnson asked for the correspondence
in connection with testimony that the
National City Co. made a loan of S4,-
o0o,O 900 to Colombia 10 days after that
country had restored the valuable
Bsrco oil concession to the Mellon
controlled Gulf OIL Co.
Deny Any Connection.
State Department officials have in
sisted there was no connection between
the two deals, and pointed out the loan
was contracted the year before.
Stimson issued a statement on his re-
turn to his department, explaining it
would be bad policy for the depart
rnent to make public correspondence
concerning foreign governments.
The statement issued by Stimson fol-
lows:
In response to a request from the
Senate Finance Committee I appeared
before them this morning am pre-
pared TO make available to them in
executive session every document which
they may desire in the way Of cor
respondence, cables, etc, between the

vestigation.
THE submission of these papers to
this committee in executive session Is
in conformity with the position which
the State Department has taken throug-
out the course of this investigation
From the outset it has repeatedly al
firmed that it would willingly make
these papers available in this way
