Wilson Reveals j. P.
Morgan Plot

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The
dominating part that the Wall
Street banking firm of ]. P. Nor
gan played in hurting this country
into the World War in 1917 was
revealed today when a government
official close to the senate investi-
eating committee on munitions
made public the fact that Wilson
declared war on Germany to avert
a financial crisis of the British
government, involving repayment
to the Morgans of a 100000, 900
loan.
Referring to the now historic
cable sent by Walter Hines Page,
American ambassador to England
in 1917, warning Wilson of an i'm
pending "crisis," this official stat
ed:
"This crisis Page cabled about
was that Great Britain was unable
to meet its obligations to Morgan
for credits amounting to O,OOO,-
600. This money was lent by Nor
gan and other banks and then was
used to buy materials manufacture
ed by Morgan-dominated compan-
les here which were shipped to the
Allies"
It was with the house Of ]. P
Morgan that Roosevelt in recent
weeks has been holding private
conferences regarding the mum
tions investigation, and the gen

By September 10.
PLAN PERSONNEL CHANGES

WASHINGTON. Aug. 28.-Inside
reorganization completed. the NRA
today was ready for a new admin
istrative board tc take charge un-
der policy expected to be worked
out by Gen. Hugh S. johnson and
President Roosevelt at an early
Hyde Park conference.
Johnson's realignment of codes,
announced exclusively week ago
by the United Press, was made
public today. 1t gives every known
industry or trade position in one
of % major classifications.
With this reorganization as a
groundwork the more difficult task
of formulating an administrative
policy has been promised for COM
pletion by September 10. ,,
The new basic classification as
sembles almost 700 codes into %
industry groupings which contain
closely allied groups of industrial
units. These are to fit into 10 or
IL industry divisions. Two divis-
ions have been added to the prev
ious eight, one for public utilities,
transportation, and communica-
tions; another for textile produc-
ing and clothing codes and leather
and fur codes. j~s
Personnel transfers will man the
new divisions and keep experienced
men in charge of codes. Master
codes will have their components
divided among several deputies, but
always under single division
head.
The code classification recognizes
four basic groups of enterprise:
l. Production-of basic materials
from the soil.
2. Fabrication-from the first
group into finished products.
3. Service-industries which do
not produce or fabricate but which
render service, such as tranSporta-
ton, finance, amusements, profess
sions, and the service trades.
4. Distribution-of wholesale and
retail goods.
Reasons Outlined
Reasons given by NRA for the
realignment and classification of
codes are:
/. Assured allied industries of
identical treatment on common
problems.
2. Reduce administrative over
head by eliminating duplication.
3. Give allied codes opportunity
to merge for greater economy.
4. Provide clearer perspective on
code classes, with government and
industry problems better defined,
and overlapping definitions elimin-
ated.
S. Simplify and clarity statis-
tics.
Code mergers are expected to
bring the present codes down to
about $50, to bring industries into
better coordination with kindred
groups and reduce the unit admin
istrative cost.

GRAND JURY
DIVIDED ON
VICE PROBE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 28. U.R)-
Whether the Hollywood Glove
mart" investigation is to be reop-
ened by the 1884 grand jury or be-
come a closed case is expected to
be decided this week.
When the grand jury adjourned
last night it was reported the men,
bers were about evenly divided as
to whether there was sufficient
evidence to reopen the case.
DR.. John p. Buckley, acting fore
man, indicated another attempt
would be made Wednesday to get
action on a special prosecutor to
handle the investigation.
Eight investigators have been in
vestigating bank accounts and real
estate transactions of 1891 when
John P. Mills. wealthy Hollywood
real estate man, was drawn into
the case. Some jurors are said to
believe that sufficient evidence has
been uncovered to warrant indict-
ments and prosecutions.
District Attorney Buron Fits
was handling the Glove mart" case
against Mills in 1881 when it was
dismissed for lack of evidence. The
1881 grand jury investigated reas-
ons for the dismissal and cleared
Fits and members of his office.
Olive Day Clark, said to have
furnished young girls as compan-
ions for wealthy business men, was
convicted on morals charge in
