Propaganda.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Nazi Investigating Com
mittee will question George Sylvester
Viereck, author, in New York tomor-
row about his assertion in a state
ment to newspapers that Russia is
spending money in the United States
for propaganda.
Representative Dickstein. Democrat.
of New York, who will act as chair
man of the subcommittee, told re-
porters today that four other wit
nesses had been called for tomorrow S
hearings.
Viereck, he said, also will be asked
about the S1.750 a month he received
from Carl Byoir and associates, New
York City publicity and promotion
firm, which it was testified had q
s6,OOo-a-month contract with the
German tourist information service.
Among the other witnesses, Dick
stein said, will be New York employe
of the North German Lloyd Steamship
Co.
Basis to Be Sought.
"Viereck," he added, has made a
public statement to the effect that
money is being spent in this country
by Russia for propaganda purposes.
We already know about some phases
of that, but we intend to find out the
basis for Viereck's statement"
Dickstein said the committees at
torneys were studying the record of
the three days public hearings, con-
cluded yesterday, with a view to joint
action with the State and Labor De-
partments for the deportation of some
of the witnesses who testified.
Two of those who testified clearly
lied," he asserted.

Testimony that papers had been
destroyed and that rifles and uni
forms were smuggled into the United
States was received yesterday along
with statements that President Roose-
velt's forebears were Dutch Jews.
Paul A. Won Lilienfeld Toal OF
Philadelphia. once employed by the
Silver Shirts" an American organ
ization, was the witness who admitted
destroying papers after he knew he
was to appear before the committee
that is investigating "un-American
activities" in the United States.
You got a subpoena on Friday
and Sunday night you destroyed your
papers?" asked Chairman Mccormack.
Yes" the witness answered.
He was not asked why, but volun-
teered the remark that he did not
want the documents in his possession.
Opinion Of Roosevelt Forebears.
Toal said, too, that when he worked
for the Silver Shirts he sent out q
letter saying, in part:
Reputable Investigators seeking to
establish correctly the Roosevelt
family genealogy are forced to the
conclusion that the Presidents fore
bears were Dutch Jews by the orig
inal name of Rosenfeld, inasmuch as
they can find no trace of the Roose-
velts in the vital statistics Of Holland.
This is not meant to disparage the

for in the resolution may be put into
effect.
Barthou praised Norman H. Davis,
United States Ambassador at Large.
for assisting in bringing about an
agreement on procedure between the
French and British.
Davis intercession was helpful be-
cause of his experience, wisdom, au-
thority and love of peace" Barthou

again demonstrates the traditional
friendship between the United States
and France" Barthou added.
says SOHtTOtcFSy otcTs
Alluding to the Franco-B British con-
troversy, Barthou said 1t is over and
that the two nations in which liberty
reigns" will settle their problems in
spirit of perfect friendship.
The French minister expressed the
hope Germany will return to the con-
ference. He denied France, either
in thought or act is carrying on a
policy of encircling Germany" Ger
many may resume her place in ar
rangements for peace, he declared.
Davis said today the disarmament
agreement reached last night between
France and Great Britain is Of real
value and paves the way for solving
the disarmament problem-it If can
be solved.
Constructive Approach Possible.
Speaking IN behalf of the United
States delegation, Davis said the
agreement did not mean attainment
of disarmament Immediately, but 1t
did mean that France and Great Brit
ain now can deal with the problem in
a constructive manner
He believes the Franco-British
agreement will have good effect upon
Germany.
Davis explained that the American
delegation acted as mediators be-
tween the French and British diplo-
| mats.
He declared that France and Great
Britain now have recognized that ii
they are going to reach an agreement
they also have to reach an under
standing with Germany.
Decisions Recommended.
The resolution recommends the fol-
lowing decisions:
l. On security-"Since the results
of the earlier work of the conference
have enabled certain region security
agreements to be concluded in Europe
during the past year, the conference
appoints special committee to con-
duct such preliminary studies as are
deemed appropriate to facilitate the
conclusion of further agreements OF
the same nature which may be ne
gotiated outside the conference. The
conference decides to appoint a spe-
cial committee to study the question
of guarantees and execution and to
resume its works relating to the su-
| pervision of ornaments"
2. Air forces-It is provided that
the conference instruct its Air Com
mittee to resume the study of this
problem
3. Manufacture and trade in arms
1t recommends a special committee
to study this question in the light
of United States recommendation.
