.DIsBANDMENT OF
 GERMAN PARLIAMENT

BERLIN, Sept, 9,-The Cabinet of Chancellor Franz von Papen has completed important plans to meet the possibility of a parliamentary deadlock this coming week and to assure continued smooth running of the government, it was learned.
 Won Papen, it became known, will arise in the Reichstag Monday and with the utmost confidence, eluci- date the governments policies. He then will allow the members to in dulge in political debate. In his pocket, however, will be the decree of dissolution already signed by President Won Hindenburg, and Won Papen will not hesitate to pro- duce it, the moment there is hint that the Parliament will try to call a vote of misconfidence in the Cab inet.
 It is still possible that the vari- ous political factions in the Reich stag will try to stave off crisis by voluntarily voting a recess, the moment dissolution appears likely. Political observers feel however, that diSbandment of Parliament will be evoked by Won Papen by the middle of next week.

America and War Debts.

Within the past few days two British
statesmen-David Lloyd George, former
prime minister. and Sir Austen Cham
berlam, former foreign secretary and
chancellor Of the eXchequer-have
made frontal attacks on American pub
lie opinion with reference to the burn-
ing question OF war debts. Mr Lloyd
George speaks through the medium of
book just published in. this country
entitled The Truth About Reparations
and War Debts" Sir Austen addresses
his homily to us through a newspaper
article which was published widely in
the United States last Sunday. Both
Britons call for cancellation of repara-
tions and war debts alike, on the ground
that they are interlocking obligations,
and that until the United States Co
operates" by wiping out the debts if
and when Germany's creditors have re-
mitted reparations there can be no
abiding economic recovery in the world.
American opponents Of debt cancel
lation assail such statements as have
just emarated from the British Isles ss
propaganda" designed to lure Uncle
Sam into enacting measures which
would shift Europe's war burdens to the
shoulders Of American taxpayers. Be

washington: First in war. first IN
peace and first in the hearts of his
countrymen."
Senator Albert J. Reveridge in "Tba
Life of John Marshall" volume 2, page
443, published the resolutions of Com
gress upon news having reached the
Capitol at Philadelphia of the death of
Washington. In the resolutions the
phrase appeared for the first time
John Marshall was a member of Con-
gress and presented the resolutions and
1t was known at the time that Henry
Lee, who was also member Of Con-
gress from Virginia, was the man who
wrote the resolutions.
Three years before his death Mar
shall attempted to clear up any exist
ing impression that he, and not Lee
was the author of this famous express
sion Beveridge includes the following
later time, along with the resolutions in
Congress. John Marshall wrote: You
will see the fact stated in note to the
preface of the Life of Washington (by
Marshalj on page AL, volume 2, and
again in a note to the fifth volume, page
765. Whenever the subject has been
mentioned in my presence, I have in
variably stated that the resolution was
drawn by Gen. Lee"
Reference to the funeral grafton by
Gen. Henry Lee, delivered on Decem-
Der 26, 1899, before the two Houses Of
Congress. shows that he used these
same words in a sentence, which, in
full, was as follows: First in war. first
in peace and first in the hearts of his
countrymen, he was second to none in
the humble and endearing scenes OF
private life"
Evidently the painter who executed
that panel at the National Museum

and Sir Austen Chamberlain mince no
words in pleading their case-the time
is coming, and coming soon, when the
Government and people Of the United
States will have to make up their minds
what they are going to do about the
war debts and reparation issues. At
the present moment, by action insti-
tuted in Washington when President
Hoover Spstigated the existing mora
torium, the two issues are intertwined.
Europe is not wholly illogical in ex-
pecting that the union proclaimed by
the American President In June, 1881,
will not lightly be put asunder," to
quote Sir Austen's words.
As everybody knows, there are two
definite schools of American thought
on the debts proposition. Within the
past few days eminent spokesmen of the
rival camps have had their say. DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler, president Of
Columbia University, favors cancella-
ton. Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of
the War Industries Board at Washing
ton in 1917 and 1918, who speaks with
the authority of respected financier
and economist, writes in the current
Magazine of Wall Street against can
collation..
The sooner the people Of the United
States come to grips with the debts
reparations controversy and decide for
themselves what wise national policy
respecting it should be, the sooner will
Congress be able to hearken to Vox
Populi and face the music next Winter,
when our attitude will have to be de-
termined.

shot himself came with the effect of q

shot himself came with the effect Of
thunderbolt. 1t Is now noted that offi-
cials Of the Swedish legation In Paris
were unable to enter his apartment and
that the cremation Of the body was de-
layed a week. Explanation Of this de-
lay has been made; Kreuger's brother
went to Paris from Sweden, and the
police waited for him to arrive before
issuing a permit for the removal to
Stockholm. 1t is rather naively stated
in Paris now that "if there had been
q hoax the police would have been
guilty of making q false death GER
tif1cate"
II there was anything strange about
the manner in which the death OF the
match king was announced 1t was per-
haps in the statement that he had taken
his own life. Suicide in such case was
tantamount to disclosure of something
shockingly wrong with his affairs. His
natural death would perhaps not have
led to the immediate revelation Of the

which he was virtually the sole director.
1t would not Immediately have precipi-
tated the panic in Stockholm and the
repercussions in other capitals.
The suicide OF Kreuger seems, in the
circumstances that have been subse-
quently brought, to light, logical escape
for him from the consequences Of
shameful breach Of trust. A pretense Of
death would have necessitated most
complicated arrangement, involving the
Paris police. Yet it may have been ac-
complished. One can never tell what
may happen in these days. But the
tale that is now circulating in Sweden
is most likely to prove to be the result
Of overmuch reading of thriller" litera-
ture If Ivar Kreuger did trick the Paris
police, or scheme his escape with their
connivance and is now in Sumatra or
some other remote corner Of the world.

A Kreuger Thriller. "

A fantastic tale is being circulated IN
Sweden to the effect that Ivar Kreuger,
the match king" did not in fact Kill
himself In Paris q few weeks ago, but
that his death" was faxed and tina,
the broken magnate is now hiding in
Sumatra. It is limited that a wax i'm
preston Of Kreuger's face was used to
deceive those who attended the funeral.
The story apparently is given little
credence, though 1t Is not, Of course,
impossible. Strange things happen
nowadays. The tangle of Kreuger's af-
fairs was not known at the time his
death was announced. There was nc
