PARIS, Aug. 31.-Specific plans
to re-arm Austrian and strengthen
Belgium'S eastern defenses were
discussed today by European states
men, increasingly alarmed at the
policies and pronouncementS of
Adolf HITLER, German chancellor,
and the activities of his Nazi fol-
lovers.
Count de Broqueville, Belgian
premier, and Albert DeVeze, his de-
Hitler's speech at RudeSheim Sun
day, were understood to have de-
cided that Belgium must increase
materially and at once her eastern
Notifications.
Paris was the center for an Eur
ope-wide discussion of rearming
Austria against the menace of NaZi
control
The possibility of adding 5000
men to Austrias army, bringing it
up to it's full authorized strength
of 10000 under the st. Germain
treaty, was a strong probability to-
day.
Joseph Paul-Boncour, foreign
minister, held a preliminary dis
cussion of the planned increase with
the ambassadors of Britain, Spain
Italy and Belgium yesterday. Then
he received news of the incident at
Innsbruck, Austria, where three
men chloroformed jailors and res
cued from prison Franz Hofer,
Austrian Nazi chief for the Tyrol
Voralberg district.
France To support Plan
Opinion generally was that this
abduction would force France to
extend the fullest support at once
to the plan to enlist 5000 addition
al Austrian soldiers.
Chancellor Engelbert DollfusS OF
Austria already has won the full
support of Premier Benito MusSo-
lini OF Italy.
Karl Vaughn, Austrian Minister,
was quoted in speech Monday as
saying the powers were considering
a plan for Austria to reintroduce a
system of universal military train
ing as a safeguard against Ger
many. beginning with the training
of 10000 volunteers year in two
groups.

Hitler's RudeSheim speech, which
so alarmed Belgium, was a declar-
alton that Germany would never
give up the Saar area.

that the proposed ALLEGATION OF
$50, 100000 from public works funds
Tor building military aircraft and
mechanizing the ARMY had been in

Roosevelt pending the outcome OF

Dern appeared disappointed over
the failure of this program, under
which $3O,O00,000 would have been
to building airplanes and the rest TO
tanks and other instruments OF
modern warfare. -,
1T would have given us the kind

distressed farmers in the district

federal loan policy, said Morgen-
thau, who arrived from Washing
ton, D. c., for a series of confer
enceS.
Loans on orchards will be grant,
ed on special value crops rather
than on value of the land for gen.
eral crops, Morgenthau said. Far
mers who show so per cent or
better chance of paying off indebt-
edness within 80 years will be ell
gible for loans, if other require
ments are satisfied, he declared.
I'VE don't want to tear down the
old agencies until we have some
thing better to Offer" he said. I'VE
aim to MAKE this division of the
government self-supporting, like the
federal reserve so that eventually
it will be owned and operated by
the farmer-borroWerS.
Each farm will be studied in
dividually No loans will be made
where it is obvious costs of opera
ton are so high the farmer has no
chance to succeed and pay the
money back"
Morgenthau will leave for Fresno
tomorrow, and will then go to Los

Entering the Second Stag.

Anyone who has studied the public resc- ton to the recovery program cannot have failed to notice that we recently have passed from the first phase of this experiment into the second. The first phase was the era of unanimous public approval. Few of us understand exactly what was going on. but we could see that some definite action was being taken. and we liked the idea. There were no dissenting votes. Everything that was done drew a round of cheers.
 Now things are different. Criticism has begun. The various acts of the re- covery program are being submitted to searching analysis and those who believe they see defects are not backward about calling attention to them. It would be mistake to assume that this criticism proceeds sole- ly from those who have private axes to grind. There is some sniping going on, of course. touched off by gross selfishness; yet that in itself is not enough to explain the change in the public's attitude.
 Evidently we simply came to the end of the period in which our one wish was to see action, and action now" We couldn't
 
 national government had recovered from an attack of paralysis. It got to be high time for us to bring our critical faculties to life. This is bound to be good thing for the administration.
 No government can give its best if there is complete and continued absence of cri- ticism. If its every act is hailed as mas terpieee of wisdom. it sooner or later will get to be like an engine without flywheel. Perhaps the best thing that could have hap pened to the recovery program as a whole is the fact that people now are ready to speak up in meeting the moment they see a flaw in it. We are. after all. still democracy and not dictatorship. We want to stay that way. By subjecting the recovery program to critical analysis we sim ply are proving that our democracy is continuing to function in the proper man. ner.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER s1, 1888
The Presidents Right

Some time this week we may expect an important message from President Frank lin D. Roosevelt on the prohibition situa- ton. Recognizing the fact that the first week in December the 18th amendment will be formally repealed the president is hard at work consulting with his aides and the various department heads as to the method of procedure for the federal gov ernment at the moment that the prohbi- ton amendment ceases to be effective. One thing he has stressed is the fact that high liquor taxes are to be avoided. We could ask for nothing better than this.
 We grant the fact that the income from liquor manufacture and sale will play an m- portant part in the drawing up of our federal and state budgets in the future. That's fine. We think that liquors should contribute heavily to the various govern mental treasuries But we do not think that officials should expect them to cover null titude of deficits. If they do then we are going to find that bootlegging activi- ties in the United States will be just the
 
 price of liquors skyward and illicit sales wifi remain as high as ever.
 It is evident that President Roosevelt knows this and is prepared to prevent such a state of affairs. Reliable reports from Washington state that he is pledged to wait for thorough report on the situation be- fore announcing any definite schedule of taxes, duties. etc. There has been much talk about the mposts to be laid. but noth- ing is definite and won't be, we think now. until President Roosevelt has had his ay. And his finding will be one based on careful research. much conferring, and a sensible view of the entire situation. He has no desire to saturate the nation with lcw-priced liquors. But he is aware of the necessity of eliminating the bootlegger en- tisely from the picture.
 Some nations have experimented with highly-taxed liquors with poor results. They found conditions were not improved. As result they were forced to lower them. Why should we make the same mistake by adopting high taxes? We don't have to err as we did in adopting prohibition which was also tried in countries desirous of this social experiment. The one is almost as bad as the other, although some people may point out that Great Britain has had success with high taxes. We take the posi- ton that if liquors can be made and sold through underground channels cheaper than they can legitimately then it certain ly will find its way to the consuming public To forestall this such supplies as we manu- faeture and permit to be imported should be available at reasonable prices, at the same time insuring the government of its fair return.

Washington-Alth it re- sembles small skiff trying to carry the cargo tonnage of q huge freighter, the national labor board proceeds steadily as an instrument for the unionization of labor.
 It's small staff operates in Q mad house reminiscent of MIRA itself in earlier days. Senator Robert Wag- ner, the chairman. is Jagged badly.
 To deal with the epidemic of strikes, a score or more regional boards are being appointed rap idly--a national network of med iatory machinery to have primary jurisdiction over labor disputes. Each board Is being organized like the NILE, with six to 10 rnem- bers equally representing indus try and labor, plus an impartial chairman.
 In practice, the NLB has been an enforcement agency for the collective bargaining and employe representation clauses of the re covery act. When disputes over union recognition arise, it asks for free employe elections. In only a very few small mills have workers voted nonunion.
 The inside story of the settle. ment of the Westinghouse strike in western Massachusetts illustrates Wagner's determination to enforce the law. . At 11:15 a. m.. Wagner gave the company's president and attorney a 45-minute ultimatum to
