FusiOnists Split
In County Hinted

A rift in the ranks Of the
Fusion party in Montgomery
county, Md, with group of anti
administration Democrats and Re-
publicans backing Fred L. Zihl-
man for Congress from the Sixth
Maryland congressional district,
appeared likely today, according
to reports in Maryland political
circles.
Mr.. Zihlman opposes David ].
Lewis, Democratic incumbent, who
Is backed by the Democratic or
ganization of the county. Fusion
leaders say there is no split, but
many who supported the Fusion
ticket in the primary just past
have indicated they will line up
with the Republicans in the No.
vember election.

WADSWORTH'S
EYE ON 1885
PRESIDENCY
BY KARL M. KAHN
Copyright. 1894. BY Internal iOnal
NevNa Sarv1cAl


The reason Representative
James w. Wadsworth refused to
be the old guards candidate for
the Republican nomination for
governor Of New York is that ne
believes the G. o. P. is going to
get licked in the Empire State
on election day.
At least he believed it 10 days
ago, which was eight days before
the New York old guard selected
Robert Moses to be its candidate
at the Republican State conven-
ton September 81.
If. and when, Representative
Wadsworth says 'tisn't so, point
out to him that nine days ago,
when so many persons were still
so certain he would be the G.. o.
P. candidate. it was written in
this column that the Congress
man would not accept the nomi-
nation for governor.
He's Looking Ahead
When the congressman told his
friend, and mine, that he would
not accept the nomination, he
also told him why he would not,
to wit:
"The Republicans haven't got
o chance to beat Governor Leh'
man this year."
Representative worth
knows that one certain way not
to get the Republican nomination
for President in 1885 is to get the
Republican nomination for gov
ernor in 1884 and to be defeated
by Governor Lehman.
A better way to get the G. o. P.
presidential nomination in SO,
thinks Representative WadSworth,
is to be reelected to Congress,
there to beat the tom-toms in the
call to war upon Bureaucracy"
Regeneration" "Radicalism,"
Imitation" and "Collectivism."
Representative WadSw.o rth
thinks he's a cinch to be reelected
to Congress from the New York
Thirty-ninth. So does everybody
else.
When 1t Happens
Since 1904, when Representa-
tive Wadsworth was elected to the
state assembly for the first time,
down to 1882, when he was elected
to the National House in spite of
Mr.. Roosevelt's sweep of New York,
the congressman has been de-
feated only once.
Representative Wadsworth says:
"The New Deal is too popular
with the people for Us, to get
anywhere this year.
eve have to keep pointing
out to the people what the ad-
ministration's policies are lead
ing us to, and then, if these
things happen that we believe
are going to happen in the next
two years, we'll be in a position
in 1886 to say we told you SO.'"

Meanwhile, pickets patrolled
construction jobs here in an ef-

Police Keep Order
No disturbances were reported,
as extra guards of police, on foot
and on motorcycles, maintained a
careful watch. It was estimated
that 40 carpenters were at work
today.
The carpenters probably will
call a special meeting today or to-

and as such deserves to be con-

Hull In Conference
The question Of how and in
what manner the American Gov
ernment is to protest against the
German action was taken up this
morning by Secretary of State
Hull. He called in his economic
advisers and spent several hours
studying the matter.
Just what the American Govern
ment can do by way of retaliation
is not clear.
In the case of Great Britain,
she has an unfavorable trade bal
ance with Germany, and thus is
in a position to set up a clearing
house to retain the balances for
the benefit of her bondholders.
But in the case of the United
States, we sell more than we buy,
so no such course is open.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
almost at the very moment Ger
many was announcing her inten-
ton of suspending foreign debt
payments, the German ambas-
sador, Hans Luther, called at the
State Department and informally
protested against pending legisla-
ton in congress which would with
hold payments to German Ma
tionals under the mixed claims
agreement, pending a settlement
Of the debt question.
This legislation was sponsored
by Senator Harrison D.), Of Mis-
SisSippi, with Administration sup
port.
American officials were slightly
amazed at the audacity of the
German government in making
representa- tion against a move to
withhold comparatively small pay
ments to Germans at a time when
Berlin was announcing its inten-
ton to stop payment of millions
OF dollars owed American bond
holders.

The impartial board would re-

The board would offer their

board would authorize the holding

DEBT TO-DAY
Major Nations of Europe Unite
in Default, Trying to
Force Reduction
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
International News Service

Today was Europe's payday to
the United States, but Uncle Sam
found only one debtor at the pay
ing teller's window, little Finland.
For the rest it was a payless
payday. Great Britain, France,
Italy, Belgium, Poland and prac-
tically all the others joined in
united default, the acknowledged
purpose Of which was to force this
Government into granting drastic
reduction Of the 1000 million
dollars owed American taxpayers.
Finland Sole Payer
The United States was to receive
less than one-tenth Of one per cent
on the ITS million on the June IS
installments due, bringing the to-
tai amount on which Europe has
defaulted to nearly 500 million dol
lars.
None of the debtors took ad-
vantage Of Secretary of State
Hull'S offer to consider payments
in goods or services, an offer
challenging the sincerity Of the
debtors claim that they would
meet their obligations if they
could.
Only one debtor, Czechoslovakia,
mentioned the desirability of dis
cusSing this method of payment.
Finland was the only debtor
from which notice had been re-
ceived of intention to pay actual
cash. A representative of that
little republic, which has met in
full all it's obligations without
complaint, will hand over to the
New York Federal Reserve Bank
a draft for $166,538, the amount
due.
Lithuania in Doubt
The intentions of only one
country were in doubt. That
was Lithuania. It has not yet
approached the paying-teller's
window, but dispatches from
Kovno said it intended to make
a small payment. It made a
token" payment of $1,000 on
$105,474 due last December. Even
if it repeated such a payment,
the United States would still
receive less than one-tenth of one
per cent of the total amount due
from tho Hohfo1.c
The former So-called "token"
payers who defaulted outright on
today's payments were Great Brit
ain, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Ru-
mania and Latvia. Their notes
explained they took this action
because Of the johnson act, clos
ing the money markets of the
United States to all the debt
defaulting nations, including
those who have sought to escape
the penalties of default by drop
in-the-bucket payments. How
ever, the "token" payments made
by these five debtors last De-
cember amounted to only about
$8,60O,00O on $152,952,637 due.
Italy, in its default note, follow
ed the action of Great Britain
and most of the others in seek
ing to link its payments to this
country with German reparationS.
The italian note declared there
was practically no hope" that
Italy would again collect those
German reparations payments
which in 1925 were "taken as a
basis" for determining Italy's
ability to meet its obligations to
this country.
