FARLEY FAILURE
HALTS PAYMENT.
OF HUGE DEBTS.
Billions Due u. S. Lost If
World Trade Fails to
Revive.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP STMMS
Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Fate Of
the $50, 900 900, 900 public and private
debt, principal and interest, which
foreigners owe the United States
and its citizens. is left in doubt by
the collapse of the London economic
conference.
Europe is scheduled to pay this
country more than S22, 900 900 900
on war debts alone during the next
sixty years. Another $4,000, 900 900
principal and approximately an
equal amount of interest should be
forthcoming on private debts.
The grand total-the most colossal
sum ever owed in all history by
peoples abroad to the people of a
single nation-Will be impossible Of
payment unless the world economic
conference can be resusciated or it's
principal detectives accomplished in
some other way.
Europe Can Not Pay
President Roosevelt clearly has in
dicated this. Even Europe'S $1l ,000,-
000, 900 war debt can not be paid, he
has said, unless we are realistic
about providing ways in which pay
ment is possible through the re-
Mobilization of trade"
Preceding administrations, he in
dicated, made payment impossible
and forced a moratorium.
Our policy" he said, declares for
payment, but at the same time, for
lowered tariffs and resumption of
trade which open the way for pay
ment."
The London conferences decision
to adjourn or recess on July 81
without settling a single monetary
or trade problem, throws the whole
situation back where it was when
President Roosevelt came into Of
fee.
Equals National Wealth
Sixty billion dollars is equivalent
to the entire national wealth of the
United States around 1880. 1t is as
much as the whole of the New Eng
land states plus the state of New
York are worth today. 1t would buy
three OhioS, three CALIFORNIA; or
twenty Alabamas with everything
within their borders thrown in.
1t represents $500 each for every
man. oma and child in the
country, or more than $4,000 for
each American family.
According to present schedules,
foreigners should pay this country,
on public and private debts, APP
proximately $1,000, 600, 900 a year.
Admittedly they can not meet any
such stupendous payments unless
they are able to earn enough dol
lars, over and above their own eX-
penSes, with which to do so.
Trade Revival Needed
outside the United States there
is only $1,000, 900, 900 monetary gold
in the world. America has about
81, 900, 600, 900.
AS foreign nations have reached
the point beyond which they will
not permit the export of gold to
pay what they owe, there remains
but two other ways in which the
obligations can be met. These are
to pay either in goods or services.
Unless world trade can be revived
to proportions greater even than
existed during the so-called boom
years. therefore, the war debts and
private obligations can not be paid.

RUTHERFORDTON, Oct. 10.
A Rutherford county coroner's

death at the hands of Robert
Searcy, at the conclusion of an
inquest conducted yesterday aft
ernOon.
Scarcy, tenant on the Owens
place, was arrested Monday night
by officers pending further inves-
tigation. Two of his step-sons
were arrested at the time and on
Tuesday officers arrested Wof-
ford Owens Of Harris, grandson
of J. Watson Owens. Wofford
Owens and the two step-sons of
Searcy were released from GUS
tody following the inquest.
Searcy, who is being held with
out bond, is AZ years old.
Owens body was found at his
home at Harris at noon Sunday
by his granddaughter, Mrs. Hines,
who called at the home for the
purpose Of taking her grandfath-
er for an automobile ride. Off
GERS, who were summoned by
Mrs. Hines, said that Owens had
been shot and then struck over
the head with an axe.
DR.. S. D. Reed Of Chesnee, S.

Deputy Sheriff Creek Mckin-
ney testified that on Sunday he
found blood stains on the glasses
worn by Owens and on his hat,
which was on a table six feet

Sheriff J. Cal Williams testified
he found an empty shotgun shell
in a cornfield near the home and
later found a gun near a bridge.
He said he also saw blood on
some corn and blood stains on
Searcy's trousers.
Carl Cooper, cousin of Searcy,
and who spent the weekend with
Searcy. said Searcy and Owens
engaged in a quarrel Saturday
morning regarding blowing up
grazing land.
O. R. Mckinney, neighbor OF
both Searcy and Owens, testified
he saw Searcy on Monday and
asked him about Owens death.
He said Searcy replied that Ow-
ems might have been shot by his
own gun. Mckinney said Searcy
appeared to be nervous.

HOLLYWOOD
FILM SHOP

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 10. (UP),
Pert kelton, the girl who was
catapulted into electric lights by
a single picture, has her own lit
tie success formula that devlates
considerably from run of the
mine recipes.
Pert-that, by the way, is her
real name-is a coincidence and
is going to remain as nearly one
as possible. But all her gold
medals to date, she believes, were
won through her conviction that
comedy is an all-inclusive art.
Comedy is 4 long way from
tragedy, but to be a Coincidence
one must have a good sense OF
tragedy. if only to know what to
avoid, the winsome, brown-halred
Miss Kelton AYERS.
And conversely, a good TRACE
dian should know comedy for the
same reason.
81 wouldn't give that "a snap
ping of fingers) for anyone with
out a sense of humor," Pert told
me, and if you saw her with Con-
stance Bennett H. "Bed of Roses,
you'll know what she meant.
Like so many other screen fig
ures, Pert is a product Of the
New York stage. Being a crea-
ture of determination, she came
to Hollywood with a pledge made
to herself that she wouldn't stay
unless she "got somewhere in
side four months. She still has a
month to go. so it would appear
now there is nothing more for
her to worry about.
Additionally she has quite a
sense of the commercial. She
owns a hotel in downtown Hol-
lvwood. and made it her head
quarters until her screen career
was assured. But she had TO
move out.
"You see. found l had to
have some Sleep" she explained.
"They started putting up a new
building across the street, and L
guess they were in a big hurry
because they worked nights on
it."
The sad ending is that the day
after Pert moved into baron,lial
manse in the Hollywood hills
workmen began building a house
next door.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIX
DOB telephoned the hospital to
- inquire about Pat. He sent
flowers. But he did not telephone
to Joan.
He came as near to it as placing
one finger on the dial, then hest
tated. No, he wouldn't call. What
good could come Of it? The breach
between them which had begun
when Joan had driven to the bar
becue with Jim Warfeld had wild
ened until now there seemed no
way to bridge it. He had been con-
fused, mistaken. The talk with his
father had clarified this confusion
somewhat, made him see more
clearly. People were what they
were by an accident of birth, by en-
yironment and training.
The encounter with Joan at the
Might Cap Club" had been another
disappointment. Perhaps he had
hoped for something's word, a
gesture, look or tone-that would
bring them closer together. But it
had not come.
Bob remembered the flash in
her eyes when he had criticized
Jim Warfield's behavior and her
cool proposal, Don't you think
you had better go back to your
friends?"
Strange how he had allowed
himself to be tormented by the
thought Of this girl. 1t seemed
impossible to get away from her.
Only that morning he had been
on the verge of calling her. Ex-
cept for the talk with his father,
he would have done so. If there
had been the slightest encourage
ment from Joan he would doubt
less have been making a fool of
himself again-over a girl who
could play fast and loose with the
wide-eyed, level look of a child.
Well, that was over! He was
through.
TOAN had much the same feel
y ing. She had come close to the
harsh realities of life at the hos
pital and it had stripped her Of
softer illusions for the time, at
least. ...-.
IF I had not been so absorbed
In my own unhappiness, l might
have come closer to Pat when she
needed me-" Joan thought. 1t was
painful, this cutting something
deep-rooted and dear from ones
life. ..... -.... .-.
The third day after the accident
Pat came home. She was a
strangely chastened Pat, her big,
blue eyes wells of misery. During
The DAYS that followed Joan
