BANK PLOT DENIED
BY COMMUNISTS
"Whispering ca mpa aign'
Charge Called Red Scare
to Justify Attack.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 29.-Communist
leaders entered a general denial today
of charges that members of their party
had engaged in any So-called whisper
ing campaign" to wreck confidence ir
the country's banking institutions.
Statements were issued by l. Amter
Communist candidate for Governor Of
FTsw York and by the United Front
Communist Election Campaign Commit
tee, of which N. Stevens is head, ir
addition to denial of the charges last
night by C. A. Hathaway, chairman oi
the National Communist Campaign
Committee.
Denounced as Scare.
The whole thing is obviously a rec
scare in order to justify police anc
gangster attacks on the August / dem,
onstrations of the Communist party,
said Amter. This is the usual prac.
tice of the capitalist authorities"
The statement from the United Front
Committee described the charges as
ridiculous" and Hathaway declared:
We carry on no campaign against
banks as such. We carry on a cam
paign against the capitalistic system
and We carry on a campaign against
the policy Of the banks-the policy OF
making loans at exhorbitant interest
rates to farmers, and the banks fore
closurerS of mortgages on farmers
farms"
Hathaway said there is no George
Rowland" in the Communist party. 1t

Communist bank wrecking scheme were

PRATT ASKS NAVY
EQUAL TO BRITISH
Admiral Advocates Parity to
Win World Balance
of Power.
Rv the Associated Pres.

By the Associated Press.
WILLIANSTOWN. Mass. July 90
Admiral William v Pratt, former chief
of operations in the United States
Navy, told the Conference on Lini-
tation of Naval Armaments at the In
stitute of Politics today that naval
parity with Great Britain would give
the United States the balance of power
in any war that threatened to become
world war
His remarks were in reply to the
statement of Dr.. Raymond Buell. OF
the Foreign Policy Association and
chairman of the conference, who said
that parity with Great Britain was ad-
visable only if the United States were
willing to cooperate in applying an
economic boycott against an aggreSsor
state, along the lines of the Capper
resolution
"At any moment" Admiral Pratt
said. England may be drawn into a
Continental war With parity in our
hands. we become practically the bal
ance of power in any war threatening
to become a world war-not that we can
stop the war when once it has started
but we can limit its duration and eX-
tent. and might even prevent its start
ing by throwing our influence one way
or the other.
The key to any further great ad-
vance in the problem of limitation OF
naval armament lies" he said lin the
abolition of the submarine, not the
abolition of the battleship."
The irreducible minimum of Ameri-
can naval power, Admiral Pratt said,
should be that relative force, equal in
size to the greatest other naval force,
composed of the necessary types, suffi-
cient in numbers to permit of essential
problems which would confront them
in a national emergency, and to afford
an adequate combatant nucleus around
which all naval forces could rally in
case of war"

the bonus army by the Federal forces
from their camps yesterday ana last

Members of the Senate and House
who were interviewed today said that
they considered the whole question one

they did not care to make public state

These members of Congress, however,

President and the War Department and
the Department of Justice had been in

All of them regretted the fact that
there had been loss of life and injury
to persons growing out of the evacution
of the bonus marchers.
The Government has acted and the
evacuation of the bonus marchers is an
accomplished TACT" said one Senator.
" I see no reason for making a public
statement about the matter at this

Most of the Congressman interviewed
expressed the opinion that statements

little and might stir up resentment.

have realized that if the bonus army
were permitted to remain here it would
be greatly augmented in all probability
by next December.
They realize that Congress. under
such circumstances, would have a
serious problem to deal with.
Generally speaking. the attitude on
Capitol Hill today was one of relief
and satisfaction that the Federal Gov
ernment had acted. although deploring
the fact that the action had led to
