NAzI LEADERS
SEEK LIFTING
OF BOYCOTT
Confer With Polish Minister
at Geneva: Concessions
for Jews Talked.
BERLIN TAKES ACTION
Surprise Ruling in Favor of
Non-AryanS Issued
by Government.

By United Press
LONDON, Sept. 28.-Nazi leaders
at Geneva conferred with Foreign
Minister Josef Beck of Poland, in
an effort to gain removal of the
Jewish boycott on German goods
shipped to Poland, it was learned
on reliable authority today.
Beck met with Constantine Won
Neurath, German foreign minister,
and DR.. Joseph Goebbels, Nazi min
lister of propaganda, at Geneva,
where they are attending the
League of Nations assembly ses-
sionS, the United Press Informant
said.
Beck said Jews in Poland might
lift the boycott if Germany removes
Jewish disabilities in Germany. The
German leaders we're quoted as re-
plying that it was impossible to
restore all the rights Jews held be-
fore the Nazi revolution last winter,
but that the government might
consider certain concessions in COM
mercial and religious spheres.
1t was understood that nothing
was agreed upon definitely, but
mere discussions in this vein by
German government officials was
considered highly significant as the
first semi-official indication Of
readiness by the Nazis to compro-
mise on the Jewish problem in
GERMANY.

CHURCH JUBILEE
WILL Be HELD
Beech Grove Residents to
Observe TWenty-Fifth
Anniversary.

The silver jubilee of the Holy
Name Catholic church will be cele-
brated in Beech Grove Sunday. The
Rev. Peter Killian, who for the
twenty-five years of its existence,
has been pastor of the church will
conduct the regular services. A
dinner and supper will be given by
the men of the parish to the many
former parishioners who plan to re-
turn for the event.
When the Holy Name church was
dedicated twenty-five years ago by
the late Rev. Francis H. Gavisk,
former pastor of st. Johns church
Of indianapolis, it consisted merely
of the rectory, the upstairs of which
served a congregation of forty
members in their devotional ex-
ercises.
The present church, which today
has 600 members, was completed in
1922. 1t includes a parish school
with a present enrolment of 300
pupils, some of whose parents have
been under Father Killian's guild
ance since he first began his work
in Beech Grove a quarter of a
century ago. Father Killian was in
strumental in having st. Francis
hospital located at Beech Grove.

have not only soWed the wind, we
have sent an especial invitation to
the whirlwind and it is now with
us.
If we could not become alarmed
at anything but the loss Of tax
money, we can be alarmed highly
at the annual loss of bridge
structure in this state. When land
is plowed to the water edge, there
is not a solitary thing above the
bridge abutment to stop food cut
ting behind the pier.
T HAVE yet to- see a washed out
l. bridge where a heavy stand of
timber appeared above the bridge.
They go out where the soil has
been plowed loosely above the
span. Bridges cost from $4,000 for
a little one, up to $4,000 for one
of moderate size. I do not have
the exact figures for this state
ment but I will hazard the opin-
ion that the value of the bridges
along the Wabash river equals the
value Of all of the land along the
banks 500 feet back from the
water edge, excluding town sites.
The same is probably true of the
White and Eel and the Salamonie
and the other streams that con-
tribute to our flood menace.
Add to the value of the bridges,
the cost of approaches and all
other appurtenances, the cost to
the public in detour after the
bridge goes oubeand the total is a

gold standard unless certain fac
tors, laying a heavier burden On
gold than it was calculated to
carry under classical theories, can
be altered.
Formerly, gold was required, in
theory, merely to balance inter-
national trade and support cur
rency. Then, international owner
ship of securities became a COM
plicating circumstance.
Foreign owners could levy ar
effective demand for gold on a ma
tons reserves quite apart from
normal trade movements. Beyond
that, the modern extension of the
principle of liquid assets made it
possible for timid capital to take
flight from one country to an
other. These two latter factors
are psychological. They tend con-
stantly to unbalance gold rela-
tionshipS.
Mr.. Vanderlip expects the ad-
ministration to accede to the de-
mands for currency initiation. He
is not nervous about that eventu-
atty. Initiation is dangerous; but
so, also, Is forced liquidation OF
debtors.
InfatioA on the one hand, is a.
terrible foece reaching into every
mans pocket and robbing him OF
a part of what he owns. But it is
terrible likewise to force a great
number of debtors to repay debts
in a dollar worth much more than
they borrowed.
Mr.. Vanderlip sees no necessary
analogy between prospective infa-
ton in America and the disastrous
course that Germany followed
after the World war. But the eX-
pertinent is always hazardous. For
example, when people began talk
ing about reducing the gold con-
tent of the dollar they urged re-
valuing at tWo-thirds the standard
base. Measured in foreign ex-
change, the dollar now has de-
clined by more than one-third
and further inflationary tactics
obviously will carry it lower. In
fation follows a progressive path.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, at SO, active and
a power in the Wall street he has
helped shape for a generation,
strikes a balance between propos-
ais and trends. Sage and in
formed, his value as a counsellor
has risen during a time which has
seen regulations fall in windrows
all about him.

BERLIN, Sept. %. Intimation
that the anti-Jewish boycott in
Germany might be lifted partially
was seen today in a ruling by the
ministry of economics that dis
elimination between Aryan and
non-Aryan business firms was i'm
supportable."
This ruling, opposed to those
teachings of the Hitherto creed de-
signed to eXterminate Jews as a
controlling influence in the reich.
said:
Such discrimination with the
purpose of boycotting non-Aryan
firms inevitably must lead to dis
turbances. Such a program of eco
nomic reconstruction will react I'M
favorably on the labor market.
There is no grounds for procedure
against any firm as long as the pro-
prietor does not violate the law or
the merchants code of honor"
The ruling, however, was followed
significantly by a statement from
the Nazi labor administration Offices
in the Rhineland, issued as a last
warning" and threatening police
measures unless agitation for a boy
colt of Jewish-owned department
stores ceased Immediately.

suicide Wednesday by shooting him

Accompanied by Orville Laughlin,

to visit an aunt in Sweetser instead
of going to school Wednesday. On
the way home, remorse overcome

young Laughlin had taken from his
home said that he would shoot him.

divert his fathers anger.
Standing on the tracks of the
Pennsylvania railroad near Marion,
according to young Laughlin's story,
Phillip tried four times to shoot
himself through a foot.
II guess I'll try shooting myself
through the head" he is said to
have told Orville, "and see what
happens"
Raising the pistol to his temple
he pulled the trigger and fell dead
across the tracks. Young Laughlin
fled. Two hours later, a freight train
came along and ran over Phillips
body.

SUICIDE DROWNING Is
HALTED BY RESCUER
Negro, DespOndent Over Domestic
Troubles, Dragged From Creek.

A Negro who attempted suicide
early today by leaping into Fall
creek from the Central avenue
bridge was saved by a white man
who jumped into the water and
struggled for twenty minutes before
~effecting the rescue.
The Negro, who said his name
was Ed Cruise, so, of 1924 Ogden
street, told police that he had been
respondent since his wife, Laura,
left him several months ago.
When he jumped into the creek
this morning, c. c. Perkins of East
Market street, who was passing,
leaped into the water and swan to
the drowning Negro.
In Cruse's room, police found a
note reading:
Last will and testament-My
dear friend, Sonny Perkins-What
little I have is yours. But be sure
and give my wife the letter. Ed

selves consume, the only way out
may be to curtail production. The
analogy is to an industry which
produces more than it can dispose
of until it faces ruin.
The world seems bent on eco
nomic nationalism. This country
appears to be headed the same
way; toward a self-contained
economy. Mr.. Vanderlip has no
especial trepidation about that
current.
The American people shan't go
hungry, in any event. Mr.. VAN
derlip has always mistrusted eco
nomic imperialism. The CO.
mingling of foreign loans and en-
terprise with national policy has
often provoked wars and, at best,
caused irritation.
THE ideal would be a tranquil
Il world with all parts trading
advantageouSly with all others.
But no one can say whether
peace may not be promoted bet
ter by self-contained states. Gull
turally, the world might be more
agreeable if we returned to the
old pattern wherein each COM
munity preserved its costumes,
folk ways and general culture and
we were not being herded into an
outward appearance of likeness.
Mr.. Vanderlip decidedly does
not fear that ancient bogy, the
machine.
The machine, he holds, If bent
to the uses of the race, spreads a
Utopian vista beyond the old
dreams of man. The problem is
to determine how wisely to dis
tribute the machines products so
that well-being may be shared
by all.
Work in itself is not desirable;
only the products of work. If a
machine and one man can pro-
duce as much as ten men, no one
need fret. The challenge is to
find a way to put the produce of
the machine and man at the dis
posal of the nine others and So

one man must go unemployed be-
cause he and the others lack con-

There is no need to worry about

The government profitably
might have addressed itself to the
monumental job of supplying ade-
quate housing to all Americans;
might have promoted the large
scale building of model houses as
an industry which might restore
prosperity. To the objection that
mass production houses are I'M

that they needn't be.
Steel and glass houses might
not be as aeSthetically inviting as
a timbered English cottage, with
roses climbing over the windows,
and leaky drains. But they would
serve the modern temper and i'm

Mr.. Vanderlip is not certain that
the NRA objective is economically
attainable. But he finds himself
in no conflict with the general
theory that adequate wages must
be paid.
At one time he opposed firmly
the doctrine that the world owe
a man a living. The obligation
was the other way around in his
opinion. A man should put into
the world more than he took out

He has, very largely, reversed
himself. Too much ear not be
