CITY TRIBUTE
Publication Praises Local
Conduct of Financial
Affairs.

Highest praise is paid the city OF
Indianapolis for the conduct Of its
financial affairs over the last few
years by the The Wall Street
Journal, the country's foremost
financial journal, in the issue which
is on the city's news stands today.
The New York publication luadS
the fact that indianapolis neither
has deferred nor omitted pay days
for its employees; has met promptly
interest and principal on its bonded
Indebtedness, and is paying of,
rather than refunding, matured
bonds.
Such indications of sound and
sane city administration permitted
the city to sell quickly its last tenn
porary notes at las per cent and
its two most recent bond issues at
31a per cent and ga per cent" says
the Wall Street Journal. The
Journals story, in full, follows:
WOollen Is Praised
The manner in which the city
of Indianapolis has conducted its
financial affairs over the past few
years has won for it unprecedented
support from financial interests and
investors. The city has neither de-
ferred nor omitted pay days for
its employees: has met promptly in
terest and principal on its bonded
Indebtedness: and is paying off,
rather than refunding, maturing
bonds.
Such indications of sound and
sane city administration permitted
the city to sell quickly its last tenn
porary notes at las per cent and
its two most recent bond issues at
31a per cent and 334 per cent.
Much of the credit for the city'S
present favorable condition falls to

in the current administration which

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j.. Oct. g.
Delegates from all sections of the
country arrived today for the fifty
first triennial general convention Of
the Protestant Episcopal church in
the United States, opening tomor-
row for an eighteen-day session.
The crowded program will include
consideration of financial problems,
the rise of women in church coun-
ellis. the work for Christian unity
over the world. further hberalizing
of the church's attitude toward di-
vorce and the conflict between high
church" and low church" elements.
The general convention will pass
upon a proposal that four seats on
the national council be given hence
forth to women. The council yes
terday approved.
A number of moves are expected,
some to modify, others to strength
en- the action taken three years ago
in providing for marital courts in
each diocese.
While technically the church still
refuses remarriage to divorced per-
sons, the marital courts were en-
powered to consider all the circum-
stances and to allow annulment for
number of causes. Provision also
was made for instruction in marital
duties. including sex and birth con-
troll problems, for persons about to
be married.
Feeling between high and low
church elements is expected to mani
fest itself when the Rev. Frederick
S. Fleming of Trinity church, New
York City, introduces his proposal
that the presiding bishop be given
the title of archbishop.
A resolution will be introduced to
drop the word Protestant" This is
expected to precipitate quarrel be-
tween the high and low church
groups.
The indianapolis delegation to the
convention will be headed by Bishop
Joseph M Francis and will include
the Rev. William Burrows. the Rev.
E. Anger Powell Mr.. and Mrs. R.
Hartley sherwood and Mr.. and Mrs.
William Hammond.

MOSCOW, Oct. 9. - Joseph
1V1 Stain, secretary general Of
the Communist party and ruler of
Russia, does not believe President
Roosevelt's New Deal methods can
result in planned economy or
permanent relief of unemploy-
ment, he told H. G. Wells, British
novelist. A transcript of their
talk was obtained today.
Stain expressed admiration for
the Presidents initiative and
courage, but he said he believed
the Presidents aims could be real
lied only by the overthrow Of
capitalism.
He said further that he was
convinced President Roosevelt
would fail of reelection if he tried
actually to satisfy the interests of
the working class.
Stain and Wells talked for three
hours in the Kremlin, examining
from different points of view the
world economic crisis and the po-
litical results to be expected
from it.
XXTELLS, in general, defended
w the thesis that society
could be remodeled in the interest
of the masses by socially-minded
capitalists and the technical in
telligentSia. Stain argued this
goal could be reached only
through proletarian revolution.
Stains statements included the
following:
l. Capitalists will not agree to
any social program that would
completely eliminate unemploy-
ment, because the supply of cheap
labor would be eliminated.
2. Society is fundamentally di-
vided into exploiters and exploited,
and any effort to reconcile their
interests would be impossible.
3. Communists do not idealize
violence, but find it necessary to
meet force from the ruling classes.
Said Stain here: "FasciSm is a
reactionary force Which tries to
preserve the old order by means
of violence"
