GERMAN STAND.
ON ARMS WINS
LLOYD GEORGE
Allies at Fault, Says Former
Premier; Attacks Speech
OF Lord HaiIShan

SCARBOROUGH, England, May
16 IN.S0 Struggling for arms
equality, Germany found sup
porter in an unexpected quarter
today as David Lloyd George,
Britain'S wartime prime minister,
came to the defense of the Hitler
lied reich.
Defending the German claim
for arms equality with other
European nations, Lloyd George,
one of the big five among the
signers of the Treaty of Versailles,
attacked Secretary for War Lord
Hailshan for threatening sane
tions against Germany if she pre-
ceeded to rearm.
Lloyd George made his state
ment in the course of an ad-
dress before the conference Of
the Women's National Liberal
Federation.
Pledged Disarmament
Speaking as one of those who
drafted the disarmament clause
in the Versailles treaty, from
which Germany has long striven
to break away, he pointed out
that the treaty provided for dis
armament by the allies when Ger
man armaments were destroyed.
He said:
"The nations which COM
PEELED Germany to sign the
treaty not only failed to carry
out their pledge, but the ma
jority of them-all in fact ex-
cept Ourselves-have increased
their ornaments.
Germany has been pleading
not for revision Of the treaty
but for its execution"
Bitterly criticizing those who
would condemn Germany for par
ticipating the Geneva crisis, he
continued:
"Are you surprised, after wait
ing for IA years, that the Ger
mans have got angry? They
have lost patience, providing an
opportunity for the Nazis, who
resent this treatment of their
country. 1t is i'll to provoke a
brave people by imposition Of a
flagrant wrong"
Terming Lord Hailshan's speech
threatening sanctions "very fool
ish," Lloyd George declared the
war secretary made the speech
without permission of Prime Min
lister Macdonald, Stanley Bald
win, or Foreign Secretary John
Simon. He said:
'It was a monstrOus thing to
dO.N

ton of this master criminal?
No!
"He said these men talked to
him in the presence of his
brother, Tony Means, in North
Carolina. Where is his brOther?"
At this point, Means leaped out
of his chair, shouting:
81 gave no such testimony"
Mr.. Rover shook his fist at the
bulky defendant and roared back:
81 say you did. Reading the
record will show that"
The District Attorney then
turned to the jury as Means sank
back in his chair and continued:
"Why didn't he produce his
brother here to COrrOborate his
story? And then, too, the rec
ord shows that Means was &C
cOmpanied by his wife when he
met either Henderson or Fen
tom at Frederick, Md. Why was
she not called as a witness to
COrrObOrate?"
Interrupted Again
At this point, Means again
half rose out of his chair and
barked at the District Attorney:
II said she drove up there
with me. 1 said she didn't go
into the hotel when 1 went to
talk to them. You are mis-.
interpreting my testimony"
While one of the deputy mar
Shals stepped over close to Means
chair, Justice Daniel w. O'Dono-
ghue reproved Means from the
bench, saying:
"The defendant must not in
terrupt counsel in his argu-
ment."
Mr.. Rover then continued his
attack on Means story, branding
it a parcel of lies. The District
Attorney charged that Means had
launched this crooked scheme
shortly after the kidnapping of the
baby and was attempting to get
in touch with Colonel Lindbergh.
In his closing argument, Turco
charged that Mr.. Rover was at
tempting to conceal the real
issues of the case through a smoke
screen of prejudice and sympathy.
He declared that it is the duty
of the District Attorney to dis
pense justice, but to do it properly.
ROver's Motives Questioned
Attacking the Governments
action in placing Colonel Lind
bergh on the witness stand, Turco
said:
"Why did Mr.. Rover bring
Colonel Lindbergh here from
California? He did not have
to testify about the kidnapping.
That had nothing to do with the
S35,OOO, which Is the chief point
At issue in this case ----...
The Washington times., 1933-05-16

II will tell you why he was
brought here. There has been
a change in the United States
Government. Mr.. Roosevelt is
now President. We are now in
the new deal. The Democrats
are in power. Mr.. Rover is not
Democrat. He entered under
the Republican administration.
"He wanted the publicity at
tached to this case. He wanted
his name in the newspaper
headlines, even if it came to
reOpening that wound in the
hearts of Colonel and Anne
Lindbergh. He doesn't care
about the Lindberghs. 1t was
not necessary to bring them
here.
But perhaps a victory in this
case will help to keep him in
office and, If not, he will get
a great deal of publicity out of
it,"
Whitaker Called DecOy
Turco declared that Whitaker
acted honestly and faithfully
throughout the entire transaction.
He was merely a decoy, his at
torney said, who was duped and
fooled by Means. The $4,000
has never existed, Turco said,
and because this sum is the main
issue in the case, Mr.. Rover talked
of everything else, the attorney
charged.
Replying to Turco's charges
that he brought Colonel Lind
bergh into the case for selfish
reasons, Mr.. Rover declared:
'It has been said that 1 called
Colonel Lindbergh because of
base and vile reasons. Speak
ing to you only as a lawyer,
and not a very good lawyer, I
say that Colonel Lndbergh was
the only person in the world
who could testify that the
child found dead was his child.
Sad as it was to bring him
down here, that is the only
reason he was brought here"
Defends Testimony
Mr.. Rover also declared that
Lindbergh's testimony fitted in
with that Of New Jersey medical
authorities in establishing that
the baby was dead at the time
Means was negotiating with Mrs.
Mclean. He pointed out that if
the testimony was not proper,
Justice O'Donoghue would not
have permitted it.
Defense attorneys were scurry-
ing around today in an effort to
discover if the jury listened to
Will Rogers, noted comedian, on
the radio Sunday night. For in
his talk. Rogers referred to
Means as another Baron Nun
chausen."

RENO, New, May 16 G.N.SD
The divorce suit Mrs. Marguerite
Rogers filed against her husband,
Col. Henry Huddleston Rogers,
multimillionaire Standard Oil
Company executive, was to be
tried privately today before Dis
trict Judge Benjamin F. Curler.
Mrs. Rogers filed suit late yes
terday charging cruelty. She
asked that her former name of
Marguerite Basil Miles be re-
stored. They were married in
Paris, July 16, 1929.
Mrs. Rogers may come to the
court house in a wheel chair. She
has been i'll during most of her
six weeks residence here. The
trial may be conducted in q
downstairs room of the court
house instead of in Judge Curl
ers regular chamber.
1t was understood that a prop
erty settlement had been effected
outside of court.
Mrs. Rogers formerly was Mrs.
Basil Miles, of Philadelphia, while
Rogers previously had been mar
ried to Mary Benjamin, of New
York.

erful nations of Europe and Asia
all came within the scope of Mr..
Roosevelt's appeal.
Explains Unique Appeal
It was a worldwide appeal.
Nevertheless, it was directed pc
culiarly to Germany and France,
who are edging toward war in
Europe; to Japan and China, now
at each others throats in the Far
East; to Paraguay and Bolivia,
who hive an official and declared
war in progress in South America.
Explanatory of his unique
appeal, the President said at the
outset:
"A profound hope Of the
people of my country impelS
me, as the head of their Gov
ernment, to address you and,
through you, the people of
your nation. This hOEe is that
peace may be assured through
practical measures of disarma-
ment and that all of us may
carry to victory our common
struggle against onOmic
chaos"
To this end, he continued, the
world has called two conferences,
the Disarmament Conference at
Geneva and the Economic Con-
ference at London. The Geneva
Conference, he said, has been
unable to get anywhere, as "con-
fused purposes still clash danger
ously."
Purposes Of Arms
The purposes of armament, he
declared. are two-fold: One, "the
desire, disclosed or hidden, on the
part of. governments to enlarge
their territories at the expense of
a sister nation" and, two, the
fear of invasion.
Only small minority of the
governments of the world, he
said, were actuated by territorial
ambitions. The President did
not, of course, specify any gov
ernments belonging to this small
minority" but it was plain that

Roosevelt Calls Upon Fifty-four Nation
To Enter Into Non-Aggression Pact

this portion Of his communica-
tion had a peculiar application
to Japan.
AS for the "fear Of invasion, -
the President recognized that
there is some Justification for it.
Modern weapons of offenSe such
as mobile artillery, tanks, poison
gas and airplanes are, he con-
ceded, stronger than modern
weapons of defense.
Macdonald Plan
Thus, he proposed their elimi-
nation, in accordance with the
Macdonald plan of disarmament.
He said:
eff all nations will agree
wholly to eliminate from pos
session and use all weapons
which make possible success
full attack, defenses automatic
ally will become impregnable,
and the frontiers and inde-
pendence of every nation will
become secure.
"The ultimate objective Of
the Disarmament Conference
must be the complete elimina-
ton of all offensive weapons.
'"The immediate objective is
substantial reduction Of
some of these weapons and
the elimination of many Others"
The fourth point in the Presi-
dents program was made con-
tingent upon the faithful full
fillment" of the other three. It
stated:
THAT all the nations Of the
world enter into a solemn and
definite pact of nOnaggressiOn;
that they should sOIemnly reaf-
firm the obligation they have
assumed to limit and reduce
their armaments, and, provided
these obligations are faithfully
executed by all signatOry pow
erS, individually agree that they
will send no armed force of
whatsoever nature across their
frontiers"
The message added:

Hlndenburg Gets Draft
Of Hitler Speech

BERLIN, May 16 G.N.S).
Chancellor Adolf Hitler this after
nooa laid before President Won
Hlndenburg a rough draft of the
momentouS speech he is to make
IN the Reichstag tomorrow after
noon, outlining to the world Ger
many's disarmament aims and
foreign policy in general.
The chancellor was accom-.
panied to the presidential palace
by DR.. Wilhelm Frick, Reich
minister of the interior.
So certain is Hitler that his
pronouncement, far from inflan-
ing Europe, will Immediately ease
the present crisis that he gave
instructions to DR.. Rudolph
Nadolny, German disarmament
delegate, to return to the Geneva
Conference tomorrow unless
some untoward event intervenes.
Hitler'S speech tomorrow will
be broadcast throughout the ma
tion.
Acknowledging the worldwide
interest in the forthcoming ad-
dress, Nazi observers recalled that
before his rise to power Chancel-
lor Hitler was denied the use of
the radio by Germany's defunct
Socialist government.

to the President.
There are approximately 1900
veterans on the main floor of
the Auditorium, but only sprink-
ling totalling less than 100 was
in the galleries and boxes.
Anthem Played
Included in the latter group
were veterans who refused to go
to Fort Hunt. Official figures
show that 879 veterans were
transported from Fort Hunt in
Army trucks to the Auditorium
this morning.
These figures indicate that
about 1000 veterans have been
staying in Washington.
The convention was opened to-
day with a prayer by Rev. John
R. West, local minister, and was
followed by the playing of the
Star-spangled Banner in which
all stood at attention.
Would Leave Saturday
The time set for evacuation Of
the camp is Thursday, and the
leaders are requesting that they
be allowed to stay until Saturday.
A resolutions committee, headed
by Mike Thomas. leader of the
former fright wing" contingent,
agreed upon a three-point pro-
gram, almost exactly like that de-
veloped by the national veterans
liaiSon committee.
Convention Program
The program calls for:
Immediate cash payment OF
the bonus, with refunds on all
interest charges.
Immediate e S r ton Of
compensation and disability al
lowance cuts to married men
with incomes less than $2,400 a

PARTY LEADERS
SPLIT ON PLEA
BY ROOSEVELT
Most Democrats Praise Appeal
to World; SkeptiCism
Rules Republicans

President Roosevelt'S world
appeal for peace struck an ap
proving chord in Congress today
Said Speaker Rainey:
"The United States can en-
Enthusiastically and unanimously
support the Presidents an
nOunced foreign policy.
'Tt is a proposal for a united
front by every nation against
every other nation that under
takes military movements, and,
of course, that includes Hitler"
Representative Byrns of Ten
nessee, Democratic leader Of the
House, said:
ut is a statement that should
appeal to the governments Of
all nations"
Representative McReynolds o1
Tennessee, chairman of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, said;
"If the Presidents policies
are agreed upon even by only
the great nations of the world
it would mean an assurance Of
peace and the beginning of eco
nOmic recovery"
Cites Kellogg Pact
Although praising the Presi-
dents statement, Senator King
CD of Utah termed it merely
an elaboration of, and in entire
harmony with, the Kellogg-Briand
pact" He added:
"The Presidents views are in
harmony with the obligations Of
the Versailles treaty. 1t is OBJ
viOus that Japan is violating the
Versailles treaty, the Our-pOwer
and nine-pOwer treaties and the
Kellogg BRAND pact.
"HitleriSm in Germany is a
recrudence of KaiseriSm and if
it becomes rampant, the peace
of the world will be leopard
ized."
Senator Connally CD of Texas
praised the message as "a ring
ing challenge to the world to
adopt a program of peace and
economic recovery.
Republicans Skeptical
Republican comment was rather
skeptica1.
'It is a magnificent gesture
"a beautiful dream"
So said Senator Robinson (R)
of Indiana, one of the severest
critics of the Administrat tons
foreign policies.
He added:
Imagine France and Ger
many, which are ready to fly
at each others thrOats, being
moved by a thing like that
and especially Japan"
Senator Dickinson (R) of Iowa
asserted:
ut is of very little interest
to this country. 1t chiefly in
wolves the European countries
where friction exists"
Representative Fish Of New
York, ranking Republican on the
House Foreign Affairs Committee,
viewed the message as consistent
with the terms Of the BRAND
Kellogg pact.

SMALL INCOME
ALSO LOOMS
AS TARGET
President Due Tomorrow to
! List Ways, Tell Congress
Is, to Take Its Choice

The American middle class will
bear the brunt of the 100000
900 taxes to be raised as a part
Of the Administrations reem-
ployment program, under tenta-
tive plans drafted by House
leaders in fiscal affairs today.
This program was advanced as
an alternative to / to 11a per
cent manufacturers sales tax to
pay the interest and. provide a
sinking fund on the $1,000, ,000,-
600 public works bond issue.
Sugar, Coffee, Spice Tax
This alternative program in
eludeS:
Making dividends from
stock in domestic corporations
subject to normal income tax,
estimated to yield $1,000, ,000,-
900 a year.
Tax on charges of pipe lines,
including both an increase in
the present rate on oil trans
portation charges and gas.
Levy on sugar, coffee, tea'
pepper, and spices.
The new tax bill-which Presi-
dent Roosevelt decided to leave
to Congress may be completed
this week, according to Repre-
sentative Doughton Cd OF
North Carolina, chairman Of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee.
President Roosevelt plans to
send a special message to Con-
gress tomorrow urging the pub
lie works bond issue and crea-
tion of a partnership between
the Government and industry to
stabilize wages, regulate produc-
ton, and lessen the hours OF
employment.
Levy ON Dividends
The President informed con-
gressional leaders who conferred
with him yesterday that he will
name several kinds of taxation,
but will not specify any.
Chairman Doughton, outlining
the possible sources of revenue,
named as number one" a pro-
vision making dividends from do
mestic corporations subject to nor
NaoI iT0nNVoo tovofinn
The pipe lines tax proposal Is
understood to differ from the pres
ent tax of 4 per cent on oil pipe
line charges and to extend to all
pipe lines. It is estimated that
$40,000,000 would be raised from
this source.
The sugar, coffee, tea. spices,
and peppers tax is estimated to
raise $5O,OOO,0OO a year on sugar
and $15.oOo,OoO on coffee an
nually.
Little Incomes Target
Other taxes under conSidera-
ton, in addition to the manufac-
turerS' excise, include: Lowering
exemptions for married men from
$2,50O to $500, and single per
sons from $1,000 to $3.50, increase
Of the normal income tax rate on
the ''little fellows" and a one-cent
additional tax on gasoline.
Although Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, Democratic leader, told
the President it would be difficult
to get sales tax through Con-
gress, this levy will be considered.
Doughton said there was no
discussion of raising the surtax on
incomes, which now begins at
$4,000 and eliminates with a tax
Of SIS per cent on income over
$1,000,000 year.
The number one" tax sug-
gested by Doughton was passed
by the House as part Of the bill

rejected by the Senate.
