Diplomats at Geneva
TrV to Save Farley

GENEVA, Oct. % G.N.SJo
European diplomats today planned
to make another desperate effort
to save the disarmament confer
ence from extinction before the
steering committee meets Wednes-
day.
Discussions now under way en-
visaged a short adjournment dur"
ing which statesmen from the
deadlocked countries would have
leisure to smooth out their differ
ences.
Norman H. Davis, American
spokesman, who has remained at
Geneva, but aloof from last
weeks political discussions, favors
a short adjournment during which
the British draft convention for
disarmament can be amended to
contain changes proposed by Sir
John Simon, British Foreign Sec
retary.
French delegates are reported
to hold the same view, and the
British are expected to agree.
The small powers, who see
American cooperation as useful to
their interests, are expected to
support the project for adjourn
ment on the theory that otherwise
Davis will go home with little
prospect of his returning.
The American position, as OUT
lined informally to International
News Service in official quarters,
is that the events transpiring at
Geneva are in the nature of q
poker game. The United States,
it was pointed out, is willing to
sit in, and would have no objec.
ton if the game were changed to
800" or contract bridge. but still
steadfastly refuses to guarantee

To Be RUNNING
WITHIN YEAR
Five to Eight Years Needed to
Build Up Stocks; Many
Apply for Permits
BY International News Service


Fifty large distilleries will be
in operation in the United States
in less than a year, DR.. James M.
Doran, chief of the Bureau of
Industrial Alcohol, said today.
These distilleries and the small
er units expected to spring up
throughout the country will have
a potential capacity of several
hundred million gallons of spirits
annually.
Five to Eight Years Needed
Within five to eight years the
country's stocks of properly aged
liquor again will be built up to
meet the requirements, in the
opinion of experts. Early opera
tions of the distilleries we're ex-
pected to be on a capacity basis
in order to produce the surplus
necessary to create the reserve
stocks.
In the meantime the alcoholic
beverages of the country, with the
exception of imports, will be of
the blended and synthetic type. 1t
was expected many would continue
to buy alcohol and concoct their
own liquors.
Doran said hundreds of applica-
tions have been filed for permits
to operate distilleries. They are be-
ing investigated at this time to
determine the character of the
applicants, so licenses may be is
sued Immediately upon depeal.
Old Brands to Return
Applications have been received
from many of the famous old
distilleries in operation before the
war. Most of the well-known
brands of bourbon, rye, brandy,
gins and other liquors that
graced the mirrored back bars in
the pre-prohibition days will be
back again.
1t was anticipated considerable
quantities of American type
whisky would be imported from
Canada after repeal to be blended
with alcohol, the only way in
which the demand can be met.
After repeal, imports could be
prevented entirely under the
emergency powers Of the Presi-
dent.

Morgan also testified that the

taxes in connection with its pub

ing $18,00O,O0O annually, the spe-

S80,431 in 1928.
Finding a Witness
At the outset there was some
delay in getting the right bank
officer to testify about the loans.
Pecora first called Charles F.
Batchelder, a vice president, who
said he had helped negotiate a
$40,0O0,000 bond issue in Febru-
ary, 1880, but knew little about
previous loans.
A. M. Williams, attorney for
the bank, offered Sheppard Nor
gan, another vice president. Will
liams admitted Morgan would
testify only from the records of
the bank as he knew little about
the negotiations. Pecora asked:
Haven't you any one here
who can give direct testimony
instead of hearSay?"
Williams replied that Robert
I. Barr, vice president who had
been in charge of all the bank S
Cuban business, died some time
ago. He added that another
bank officer, who handled some
Of the loans, was also dead.
Morgan Insisted Upon
Pecora appeared to want to
question Batchelder. He said:
81 am informed that Mr..
Batchelder told members of my
staff he would like to come be-
fore this committee because, if
he did, he'd show us something.
I'd like to have him show US"
Batchelder said
That's absolutely incorrect"
The banks attorneys insisted
that Sheppard Morgan testify,
$50 we can put logical story in
the record" The committee
finally agreed.
With Morgan on the stand,
Pecora read into the record the
language of the Platt amendment
forbidding any increase in the
public deot unless ordinary reve-
nues were sufficient to meet the
service charges on these obliga.
tions.
Pledge DiSregarded
just a moment before, Morgan
had revealed that during the
period when the New York bank
ers were loaning additional mil
lions to Cuba, the governments
ordinary revenues were insuffi'
cient to refund the loan.
Service charges on the Cuban
debt were being betrayed in large
part by borrowing more money
Morgan admitted that when
President Machado took office in
1925, he pledged himself not to
increase the public works deot
This pledge later was disre
garded.

Cuban deficits.
From 1927 to 1898, Morgan
said, the Cuban debt grew from

said the Chase loans included a

1927, later refunded into a $780,
600, 900 revolving credit fund on
June %, 1880.
Bond Issue FlOated
On February 26, 1880, Morgan
added, the Chase Bank floated
q $40, 100000 gold bond issue for
Cuba. The proceeds were used
by the bank to refund the gov
ernment's previous credits. In
addition, Cuba was given new
100000 credit at the bank.
Morgan's testimony revealed
that the bank had provided $120,-
100000 in credits at different
times. But he insisted only $780,
100000 was loaned to the Island
Republic.
These figures did not include
