international diplomacy which
forbids the heads of one govern
ment from criticizing the ma
tional policies of another with
whom friendly relations are main
tanned, Secretary Hull bluntly told
the German nation the policies OF
the Hitler regime were responsible
to a considerable extent for the
fact Germany has no money with
which to pay its foreign debts.
Secretary Hull indirectly cited
the persecution of the Jews under
Hitlerism as one of the policies
which has caused Germany to lose
its export trade and thus reduced
it's ability to obtain foreign ex-
change with which to meet debt
payments.
Secretary Hull also cited the
purchase of war materials by Ger
many and the use of funds di'
verted from reduced debt pay.
ments for repurchase Of German
securities at 40 per cent of face
value as other reasons why Ger
many has no money with which
to meet to meet its debts, espe'
cially the payments on more than
1000 million dollars worth Of Ger
man bonds held by American in
veStorS.
Retaliation Difficult
With Americas favorable bal
ance of trade with Germany max
ing difficult actual retaliation
such as that threatened by Brit
ain and France, Secretary Hull
resorted to the use of the strong
est verbal argument possible to
safeguard American bondholders
from discrimination.
Brusquely calling the German
government to task for its aSSer-
ton that failure of the rest of
the world to purchase more Ger
man goods was responsible for
Germany's inability to meet pay
ments, Secretary Hull said:
"The German government is
no doubt aware its policies have
created opposition in many
parts of the world, which has
expressed itself in various trade
conflicts and the probable re-
ductiOn of Germany's capacity
to transfer.
ct has generally been judged
that it is the obligation Of q
debtor government to so direct
its policies that sums required
to meet external obligations re-
ceive priority over all but the
essential needs Of the govern
ment.
'It is widely believed that
during recent months German
foreign purchases Of material
susceptible of military use have
been extensive and financed
out of available exchange re-
sources.

DONOVAN FIGHT

MIRA Union Delegates Present
. Petition for Decision by
Impartial Board

Delegates from the MIRA local
Of the American Federation OF
Gov eminent Employees failed to
see President Roosevelt today
when they called at the White
House to protest the Donovan
case"
The group succeeded. however,
in presenting to Col. Marvin H.
MacIntyre, Presidential secretary,
a petition in which the Chief
Executive is requested to appoint
an impartial board to investigate
the dismissal by Brig. Gen. Hugh
S. johnson of John L. Donovan,
employe Of the Labor Advisory
Board and head of the NRA
union.
johnson Doesn't Care
Shortly before the unionists ar
rived at the White House their
boss, General Johnson, predicted
at a press conference that they
wouldn't get anywhere" Asked
what he thought about the action,
the recovery chieftatin replied:
cts all right with me-"
The NRA Administrator smil-
ingly added that he had person
ally tried to straighten the matter
out by allowing the case to be ar
bitrated before the Labor Advisory
Board, the National Labor Board
or the Federal Trade Commission.
His statement indicated that he
did not believe the union would be
satisfied no matter what action
he takes.
Cause Of Action Sought
The question that should be de-
cided by a reviewing board, &C
eording to E. Claude Babcock,
president of the A. F. G. E., is
whether Mr.. Donovan was fired
because of his union activities or
because of the official charges of
INSTRUMENTATION and ineffici-
ency." No explanation Of these
charges has been made by MIRA
officials since Mr.. Donovan'S dis
missal nearly three weeks ago.
Meanwhile. officials of the NRA
local inferred that they would be
satisfied if General Johnson would
permit the matter to be laid be-
fore the National Labor Board
with all members of the board
who are connected with the NRA
barred from the proceedings.
The recovery administrator
stated today that he saw no rea-
son for the barring of any person
appointed by the President" as

FORMS WILL SPEED
U. S. CREDIT UNIONS
Bylaws and Certificates Are
Contained in Copies Ready
Soon for Circulation.

Forms which will speed the charter
ing of Federal credit unions have
been drafted. C. R. Orchard, assisting
director of the credit union section,
stated yesterday.
These forms consist of bylaws and
an organization certificate. The two
together make up the Federal credit
unions charter to do business. Copies
of the forms are being printed and
will likely be ready for distribution in
about 10 days or two weeks.
When they are ready, they will be
sent groups about to organize credit
unions Hundreds of preliminary ap-
plication blanks have already been
mailed to groups contemplating the
formation of such organizations.
After these blanks are filled in and
returned, an investigation is made of
the economic necessity for the pro-
posed credit union. The investigator
reporting favorably, a copy of the
bylaws and organization certificate
will be then sent, Mr.. Orchard said
There are from $50 to 200 persons
throughout the United States who
have had experience in helping to
organize credit unions under State
laws. THE cooperation of these per-
sons has been enlisted by the Farm
Credit Administration. Most of them
have agreed to serve voluntarily in
helping various groups with the or
ganiZation of Federal credit unions,
telling them of how they may comply
with the terms of the Federal credit
union act" Mr.. orchard said.

well-drained part Of the garden or
in q cold frame. A mulch Of leaves
is helpful but not necessary. During
the Winter the cut ends will form
healing tissue or callous and prepare
themselves for roofing. In April the
bundles should be lifted and the in
dividual cuttings lined out in rows,
this time right side up and with one
or two buds above ground. Very early
in the Summer the cuttings will burst
into growth and by late Autumn one
has plants available for setting in
permanent position. Many of these
species will root from cuttings taken
in March or early April. There are,
however, some physiological changes
in the severed cutting during the Win
ter that hasten its roofing
1t is bit strange how the cutting
orients itself. Even when upside down
the cuttings will send out roots from
the original basal end; that Is, the
end that was nearest the mother
plant. 1t is considered likely that the
benefit of burying cuttings upside
down results from the fact that the
root ends are warmer and are stim-
ulated into growth ahead of the shoot
buds. Hence when planted correctly
in late March or April the roots are
ready to supply the developing leaves.

Iris Borers.
THE following brief discussion
taken from the Extension Service
News of the University OF Mary
land is extremely timely:
THE iris borer seems to be more
prevalent this year than for several
years, according to Dr. Ernest N. Cory,
State entomologiSt, VINO gives the fol-
lowing description of the pest ana
methods for combating it. He says
that the borer is the larvae OF
dusky-winged moth Of about 212
inches wing spread. This moth lays
its eggs on dead leaves in the late
Fall and the eggs hatch in early
Spring. The tiny worms feed between
the two leaf surfaces, creating at first
a more or less circular watery spot In
the leaves. Later they begin to bore
downward in the leaf and ultimately
infest the rhizomes. Here they bore
out irregular channels that can be
detected readily by the frass or
sawdustlike particles that are pushed
out near the crown of the plant. ard
can be detected easily when the roots
are dug for transplanting. The larvae
can be crushed, and most OF them Will
be in the rhizomes if the digging is
done before the first of August. After
that the larvae leave the roots and
pupate in the nearby soil. In digging
after the first of August the pupae
may be missed.
IF it is undesirable to dig the
rhizomes, DR.. Cory states. the iris
beds may be treated with carbon
bisulphide emulsion. This may be
made by dissolving l part by volume
of rosin fish oil soap in 3 parts OF
water and then churning this into
10 parts by volume of carbon BIZ
sulphide, which should give cream

The Takoma Horticultural Club
horticultural show, held September 13

lie Library, was very creditable, de-
spite the heavy rains that Immediately
preceded and undoubtedly damaged
considerable potential material. The
pompom zinnias and roses were espe-

colored Physostegia. or false dragon
head, was universally admired, and
potted plants of the African violet,
Saintpaulia ionantha, exhibited by
Miss Martha Gundlach, excited many
favorable comments. There is little
question but that Physostegia, native
to North America and fully hardy,
should receive wider consideration.
The September meeting of the Takoma
Club will be held September "a at the
