FOOCHOW, China. January Is
Thirty United States sailors landed here
today to protect American lives and
property in disorders accompanying the
evacuation of this fallen rebel capital
by the retreat of the 10Th Route Army.
At the request of Gordon Burke, vice
consul in charge of the United States
consular district, a naval party came
ashore from the gunboat Tulsa and i'm

The Tulsa had been standing by since

This. with the arrival of the 10000

have lessened considerably the danger
to Foochow's foreign population.
Already on hand offering protection

and sailors.

and Admiral Chen plunged into con-
ferences urgently attempting to prevent
further violence
With Foochow under no established
authority, due to the sudden flight OF
the chief of police, Gen. Tsai rushed
efforts to round up stragglers from his
rebel army and move them southwark
on the heels of the main contlngents
already in retreat.
In the midst of these negotiations,
unverifed reports were circulated that
10000 rebel soldiers still we're holding
their ground in the Min River Valley
fighting area north and northwest OF
Foochow.
All of the rebel leaders except Gen.

pressing their way steadily southwark.
New Disorders Feared.
The exact number of Americans IN
Foochow was not known. When hos

lived in Foochow. but many sought
places of safety outside the city. On
the other hand, many living north and

Silver Proposal Lacking.
After the Government shall have
taken over all the gold supplies, it is
expected the President will issue a
proclamation revaluing the dollar in
terms of gold content. although at the
White House today there was no indi-
cation given as to when this proclama-
ton would be made.
The President made no recommenda-
Iion to the Congress in his message re-
garding further demonstration of
silver.
He did, however, comment sympa-
thetically upon the use of silver as cur
rency and indicated that it was his
belief that such use should become
more ana more widespread. He will
withhold recommendations regarding
silver. he said. until after the effect Of
the silver agreement reached at the
London Conference has been demon
strated and until after the effect Of
the administrations present plans for
the control of Government and dollar
revaluation have been ascertained.
The President gave no encourage
ment whatever to advocates of print
ing press money" In fact, his MESA ge
was distinctly blow at any such proc
ess of imitation.
Confusion Prevents Accord.
The President clearly expressed his
hope that eventually it would be pos
sible to obtain an international agree
ment on uniform monetary policy" In
this connection he said:
There is still much confusion of
thought which prevents a worldwide
agreement creating a uniform mon
etary policy. Many advocate gold as the
sole basis of currency; others advocate
silver; still others advocate both gold
and silver whether as separate bases,
or on basis with fixed ratio, or on
fused basis
I'VE hope that despite present world
confusion, events are leading to some
form of general agreement. The recent
London agreement in regard to silver

SEME-RURAL LIFE
NEW AIM OF NAz|S
Public Settlement Director
Foresees Decentralization
and Return to Soil.

BERLIN CR.-A type OF semi-rural
life In "landstaedte," or rural towns,
is in store for future generations of
Germans, If Nazi plans work out.
The decentralization Of industry,
the breakup of big cities. the return
of proletarian masses to the soil, not
exclusively as farmers, but as part
time workers in nearby factories, Is
announced as a permanent Nazi aim
by DR.. Wilhelm Ludowici, recently
deputized to handle the public set
tlement projects or "siedlungen."
Varied Housing Planned.
''We cannot achieve our ambitions
today or tomorrow, said DR.. Ludowici
in an article announcing that the
creation of "agro-industrial" housing
settlements would constitute the
national building policy.
The postwar practice OF building
apartments or house settlements for
members of various trades or pro-
LESSONS will be discontinued to break
down class distinctions.
How can people learn to under
stand one another if they isolate
themselves in classes?" asks DR..
Ludowici continuing: For this rea-
son there will be no separate colonies
for railroaderS, for workers, for civil
service employes-no German land
stadt' with an organic mixture of all
professions in close relation to the
soil"
Big Cities Evil.
Big cities, in the eyes of DR.. Ludo-
wici, are an unmitigated evil.
I'VE pride ourselves on our human
ity and on having abolished slavery,
but we seem to overlook the fact that
graft and pr6fiteering in big cities
Is much worse"
City dwellers, according to DR..
Ludowici, have become "a mass with
out aim or discipline"
While only 20 per cent of Ger
many's population are employed in
agricultural pursuits, nevertheless
the soil has remained the mother Of
all, and agriculture remains the
bearer of trade and industry"
The creation of "landStaedte" does
not mean a return to the soil in the
sense sof creating more peasant vii
lagos or settling city dwellerS on
farms, according to DR.. Ludowici.
Factories Moving.
With factories moving to smaller
towns, the workers settled around
them will divide their time tilling
plots of soil turned over to them, and
working in their factories
Modern technical progress, Dr.
Ludowici asserts, is an aid, not an
obstacle, to the idea.
Never before has technical science
provided such means for economic
decentralization in nearly all fields
of production" he says. citing i'm
proved methods of transportation and
universal electrification as advances
logically leading industry in this di-
rection.
AS for the right human material"
DR.. Ludowici is positive the new type
of semi-farmer laborer is much more
desirable than "proletarians out of
the poverty-ridden districts of the big
cities"
If labor is to become as firm a
pillar of the nation as agriculture,
every industrial worker must be given
his bit of soil, says DR.. Ludowici in
conclusion, declaring "the agro-indus-
trial settlement is the way back from
the masses to the nation"
