WAR DEBT SEEN

Hoover's Proposal to Trade
Payments for Markets In
tereStS Diplomats

President HOOver's proposal,
in his speech at Des MOines,
to trade war debt payments
for expansion of American ag-
ricultural markets was re-
garded in diplomatic circles
here today as the most impOr-
tant announcement on war
debts since the visit here a
year ago of Pierre Laval when
premier of France.
For the diplomats whose gov
ernments owe the United States
billions of dollars in war and
postwar debts this was the high
point of the Presidents political
address.
See Debt Farley
Linked with Secretary of State
StimSon's cautious intimation at
Philadelphia last Saturday night
that some revision of the debts
was inevitable, the Presidents
utterance at Des MoineS last
night placed the Administration
definitely on record in favor of a
reopening of the war debt dis
cusSions, diplomats here were ad-
vising their home governments
today.
It also made certain, according
TO diplomatic opinion, that the
subject of war debts will be taken
up at the forthcoming world con-
ference on silver and economic
problems. This conference is ex-
pected to be called in London
some time between November 8,
when the American people will de-
eide whether Mr.. Hoover remains
in the White House another four
years, and the first of January.
Talk Was Ruled Out
The agenda of the conference.
at American insistence, specificaI-
ly ruled war debt discussion out
of the meeting. But with the
President and his Secretary of
State both making the debts an
issue of the political campaign
and intimating the inevitableness
of revision, diplomatic leaders do
not see how the subject can be
kept out of the economic confer
ence.
Evident complacence and salts
faction pervaded the chancelleries
Of the embassies and legations
here whose governments are on
the debit side of the ledger. For the
first time since these debts were
contracted a President of the
United States and his Secretary
of State are actively campaign
ing in favor of a "readjustment"
of the debts.

'"The farmers and the home
owners. who have acceptable
collateral, are as much entitled
to that credit as any corpora

acceptable collateral. The
theory that Government credit
should be extended to select

should then supplicate the
beneficiaries of this credit to
be lenient with those whose
mortgages they hold is con-
trary to all precepts of business
or common sense.

denOuncing what he termed

HOOVER LEADS

IN BAY STATE
HaIf-MiIIion Majority for
G. o. P. Indicated in Times
Presidential Poll
BY COLE E. MORGAN

Unless there is a decided
change in the lineup in Massa-
chusetts during the next month,
the Bay State may give Presi-
dent Hoover a half million
majority.
That is the apparent penalty
the Democratic party faces for
the factional disaffection in this
State, which four years ago
gave Governor Smith 1900
plurality. Nowhere in the State,
from the Berkshires to Cape Cod,
not even in Boston, does Gov
ernor Roosevelt appear to have
an even break.
S,47O Cards Out
This is the way the MasSachu-
sets situation sizes UP from a
critical analysis of S,47O post
card ballots received and segre-
gated by individual counties in
the nationwide presidential poll
of The Washington Times and
other Hearst papers.
In only one county, Suffolk.
embracing the city of Boston,
has Hoover failed to obtain so
per cent or more of the poll bal
lots. Suffolk, thus far, has
given him Sc per cent. From
this minimum Hoover's percent
ages range upward to a peak OF
80 in the adjacent county OF
Plymouth and 81 in Hampshire
in the western section.
532,6O Edge
Norfolk, lying between Ply
mouth and Suffolk, is giving
Hoover 79 per cent; Worcester, in
the center of the State, 72; Mid
dlesex, the next county seat, SO;
Hampden and Franklin, adjoin,
ing Hampshire, Ct; Bristol, abut
ting Rhode Island, IS; Berkshire
the extreme west end, GA; Essex
the northeast corner, 63, and
Barnstable, the Cape Cod hook
6. Dukes and Nantucket, island
counties OIL the COAST, WIFI Colli
paratively small votes, are yet to
be tabulated.
On the basis of these percent
ages, applied to the total vote
cast in 1928, Hoover appears to
have potential majorities as fol
lows:
Barnstable, 1850; Berkshire,
1920; Bristol, 100000; Essex, 49,
100; Hampden, 39,370; Hamp-
shire, 1850; Middlesex, 1877, ,760;
Norfolk, 69,93o; Plymouth, 9.740:
Suffolk, 36,47O; Worcester, 80, ,180.
These estimates total $4,000.
Hence the round figure estimate
of a half million margin in Hoo
ver's favor as the situation stands
at this time.

Hoover and his advisors, is
aware now that the HawIey.

the farmer by provoking other
nations to match our inSur-
mOuntable tariff walls so that
the farmer cannot sell his sur

"Mr. Hoover is President of
the United States, and as such
the utmost respect is due him.
But at this juncture he is a
candidate to succeed himself,
and his acts of omission, as
well as commission, are sub
jects for legitimate criticism.
"Offering no apologies, 1 say
with all the emphasis at my
command that if we Judge the

EMPTY PROMISES"
'It is regrettabIe, yet true,
that the section hand, the clerk,
the little business man, the
farmer, the great executive, the
railroad magnate, and even the
big financier have, reluctantly
perhaps, reached the conclusion
that promises bearing Mr.. HOOv-

made either to be 1tudiOuSIy dis
regarded or, to put it cnaritably,
overlooked.
-Four long years have elapsed
since Mr.. Hoover voiced his first
promises to the American peO.
pie. Having faith in him, they
took these promises at their face
value in 1928 and opened the
doors of the White House to him
by a vote, the proportions of
which measured thAir desire for
fulfilIment.
What of the high hopes
and expectations of these mil
lions of men and women whose
confidence has since been
Shamefully betrayed? They
have been shattered ruthIesSIy.
Their faith in Hoover, the
man, has been diSSipated and
cannot be revived. Broken
promises cannot be explained
away. They do not form even
a flimSy foundation upon
which to rear another Struc-
ture of puedgeS calculated to

which 1 cannot fulfill"
The President leveled his big
gest guns chiefly on Speaker John
n. Garner, the Democratic Vice
presidential nominee, and the
Democratic program put through
the House last session under
Garner's guidance. Speaking
specifically of what he termed
the pork barrel' public building
bill, the measure to pay off the
bonus with fiat money, and the
effort to revoke the flexible clause
of the tariff act, he said:
TheSe measures were not
simply gestures for vote catch
ing. These ideas and measures
represented the true sentiments
and doctrines Of the majority
of the control of the Democratic
} party. At no time in public
discussion of the vital issues of
this campaign has any Demo-
cratic candidate, high or low,
disavOwed these destructive acts
which must emerge again if
they come to power. Do you
propose to place these men in
power and subject this cOun-
try to that sort of measures
and pOlicies?"
Farmers Stage Protest

Of Milo Reno, who have been

''farm holiday" put on their

Senator Brookhart, paraded sew
eral hours before the Presidential
special arrived, bearing such
banners as "the New All Club
Hoover, Hyde, Hard-times and
He'll" but so far as the Hoover
party knew personally, there had
been no demonstration.
Speaking of the long battle
against depression, the President
revealed for the first time that
/ America once had been but two
weeks removed from going off
the gold standard, but he said
wise and courageous Republican
administration had guided the
country-and with it, the world
back toward prosperity.
Things Could Be Worse
And, threatening what he said
might happen should the Demo
Gratis come into power, he said:
thousands of our people in
their bitter distress and losses
today are saying that things
S could not be worse
LET no man tell you that it
could not be worse. 1t could
be so much worse that these
days now, distressing as they

HEATING PLANT WORK
Col. Grant Orders Installation Of
Steam System at Tour
lists Camp.

Fridays fatality at the tourist camp,
in which a man lost his life by being
overcome by gas from a heater, led
to the decision yesterday to start work
Immediately on the proposed steam
heating plant and the elimination of
gas heat at once. Lieut.. Col. u. S..
Grant Sd, director of public buildings
and public parks, who superviSes the
tourist camp, said that an investigation
convinced him that the fatality was
the result of neither faulty equipment
nor human careleSSneSS.
Col. Grant asserted that the cutting
off of the heat at this time will result
in hardship for some persons in
Strengthened circumstances, who have
been using the Tourist Camp in order
to live cheaply, but there appears to
be no other way out The decision to
install the steam heating plant was
reached two or three weeks ago and
specifications are already available, the
colonel said.
Signs were placed in the cabins,
warning occupants of the dangers of
the gas being used with the windows
closed, the colonel pointed out, and
ventilatorS were cut in the top, and in
addition, a guard goes around to see
that the windows are kept open during
the night In the case of the most
recent fatality, the window was open
all night, the colonel aScertained from
inquiries. Some time ago two men were
fatally overcome by the gas at the
tourist camp, and then additional pre-
cautions were taken, officials said.
