No Comment on Cuba.
Senator Borah. who was formerly
chairman of the Foreign Relations Com

on the latest revolution in Cuba. Some
time ago. he issued statement in
| which he declared that the so-called
! Platt amendment, under which the
United States is obligated to maintain
order in the island, should be repealed
or lived up to. His position also was
that the Cubans should be allowed to
settle their own problems. 1t is under

Former Secretary Of War Hurley, call

particularly with reference to the re-

had discussed the matter from politi-

OF a message from President Roosevelt
read yesterday at the American Bank
ers' Association Convention follows:
Il welcome the opportunity to send
message to the members of the Amer

their 59th annual convention. I ex-
press my sincere appreciation OF the
cooperation of many bankers in what
we have accomplished thus far toward
heavily on your assistance as we forge
ahead I know that events of the
past half year have brought to all of
us keen sense of the important part
which a banking system plays in our
lives Six months ago the first of the
great obstacles which faced this ad-
ministration was che lack of confidence
in banks The situation had become
so serious that no other step could
be taken until this difficulty had been
met. There had been such a rush to
turn bank deposits into currency or
gold that even the soundest banks could
not get enough currency to meet de-
mands.

Accuses Manufacturer of "Hitlerite
Sensational Lies"

Sensational Lies"
NEW YORK, September R.-
Henry Ford was described by Samuel
Untermyer last night as a "carping
spirit, who is, at the moment, blocking
the progress" of the N. R. A.
Ford, the noted attorney said in an
address, "is a genius as a manufac-
turer, and the greatest publicity man
in the country"
The latter is the quality that has
developed his business for him." Un-
termyer asserted, speaking before the
Jewish Community Center at Yonkers
He has always had the faculty Of
building up his business by getting more
publicity and free advertisement than
any man in the country. At the same
time he lacks breadth of vision and is
an uninformed man, with half baked
ideas, If any, on economic questions
outside of his business. By way Of ex-
cuse 1t should be said that he could
not, If he tried, visualize the wide eco
nomic effect on the country of the
success of the national recovery act"
As regards the NJ r. A., Untermyer
said it is not a question with Ford
" Iic iC'ifdi dAiu ultimate prosperity
OF his country, but 'it is solely ques-
tion Of the best interests of Henry Ford
regardless of all other considerations. :"
L think Mr. Ford will find" he add
ed, that he is again sadly mistaken
just as he was some years ago, when
his great fortune and his world wide
business were actively enlisted in the
contemplate disservice of sowing the
seeds of anti-Semitism throughout the
world, with a purpose no more exalted
than to put his losing publication ven
ture-the Dearborn Independent-since
happily extinguished-on a paying
basis by springing upon the public a
long series of Hitlerite sensational lies"
