NAILS VENT IRE
ON AUSTRIAN
CHANCELLOR

BERLIN, Jan. 18 G.N.S).
While Germany's drive for a
colonial empire reached the pro-
portions of clamor, Nazis in
both Austria and Germa any
crossed swords with Chancellor
Kurt Schuschnigg today in re-
taliation for his alleged effort to
ally Austria with Czechoslovakia.
This move of the Austrian
chancellor so enraged Nazis that
they permitted the first open
move regarding Austria to be
made on both sides of the border
since the assassination Of former
Chancellor Dollfuss.
A concentrated effort to under
mine Schuschnigg has been
launched in Austria. 1t began
yesterday while he was returning
to Vienna from Prague. Hun.
dreds of thousands of leaflets
were showered upon the land by
the Nationalist Socialist Move
ment of Austria"
Demand Plebiscite
These leaflets demanded "free
general plebiscite in order to es-
tablish the true will Of the ma
ton"
What was considered most sig
nificant of all was the sudden
lifting Of the iron lid in Germany
on Nazi activity in connection
with Austria. The official Ger
man news agencies carried the
full text of the leaflets in the
press.
This clearly indicated Chan
cellor Hitler's unspoken approval
of the anti-Schuschnigg cam
paign.
Meanwhile, Germany's demand
for colonies was again brought out
into the open by the second de-
manc of a Reich minister for
sources of raw materials. This
drive began months ago with quiet
feelers in British and French diplo-
matte quarters.
Criticizes q. S.
Open admitting Germany's eco
nonic difficulties, DR.. Paul Joseph
Goebbels, minister of propaganda,
told 10000 Nazis:
"The time is coming when
Germany must demand the re-
turn of her colonies"
America, GoebbelS said, should
mind it's own business" and stop
protesting about the treatment Of
Jews in Germany.
Americans should see that
their national hero is not forced
to flee the country on account Of
gangsterS."

Mr.. and Mrs. Kipling had come

After a couple of days Kipling

was seen that he was weakening.

No response from the trans

Snow was falling outside, and
the rumble of traffic from busy
oxford Street, nearby, could be
heard. Downstairs, in the white
walled waiting room, was a crowd

AS Mrs. Kipling was led away
to rest, a hospital attache entered

said:

news had flashed to the whole

CELEBRATES
GL0R|ES
BY staff Correspondents


WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Jan. ID.
Standing on the site of some Of
the most momentous moments of
American history, Gov. George c..
Peery today addressed the General
Assembly of Virginia in the re-
stored capitol at Williamsburg,
telling them:
"The times from 1858 to 1871
were as difficult and hazardous
as those we are cOntending with.
Virginia and tie United States
emerged triumphantly from the
great Revolutionary crisis, due
to the men we are hOnOring
today"
Governor Peery, speaking in the
village restored through the phil
anthropy of John D. Rockefeller,
jr., spoke Of Patrick Henry, George
Mason, George Washington,
Thomas jefferson, James Madison
and John Marshall.
First Steps for Union
He told also of the times in
which they served, reminding his
audience, including the highest
officials Of Virginia and many
guests, that it was in the origi-
nal building, which was burned
in 1747, that the first steps were
taken oward he formation of a
union of the colonies.
George Mason's declaration of
rights was adopted in the origi-
nal building, the Governor re-
minded his listeners: it was here
that the truant scholar, Thomas
Jefferson, listening to Patrick
Henry's samp-act speech, became
fired with the spirit that made
him the greatest influence of
his age, and it was here, that
John Marshall received the in
spiration for his career. James
Monroe, later President of the
United States and author of the
Monroe Doctrine, sat in the
chamber, Governor Peery said.
Governor Peery declared:
"The Virginia legislature of
those days was a thing of glory.
George Washington was a
member when it met here.
a silent member, it is true, but
an influential member, for as
all legislators know, the mem.
berS who never make speeches
often have a determining voice
in the decisions of great mat
ters."
Governor Peery declared the
legislature of the olden days was
surprising in ability and char
acter the British Parliament of
those timeS-it was the supreme
legislative assembly of the age"
Oldest on Continent

lative body on the North Amer.
lean continent, which met in 1919
and has been meeting regularly
since then, with but three meet
ing places. The first was James

at II o'clock each house was
called to order. The Governor be-
gan his address at noon. which
was followed by routine business
and then an inspection of the
restored capital area. Luncheon
was served at the Williamsburg
Inn and late in the afternoon
the party was scheduled to leave
Williamsburg.

Fame Came to KipIing at II
And He Lived as a Legend

One of the greatest story
tellers in the English language,
one of Britain's great writer's, for
some of his life the most widely
read author in the world, a writer
of infinite vitality and vigor-thiS
was Rudyard Kipling; and yet he
remained to his death a great
legend, a man actually little known
by a worshipping public, and he
died without ever getting official
recognition from an empire his
writings helped to build.
Kipling had his first book pub
lished at 81, had world reputa-
ton as a new master of fiction
when he was 25, and at the young
age of 81 was prominently men
toned to succeed Lord Tennyson
as England's poet laureate. He
failed to get the honor, however,
and it was denied him to his
death, repeatedly because of
reference to Queen Victoria as
"the Wilder of Windsor" in the
soldier jargon of his barracE
room ballade.
Unofficial Title
None could deny him, however,
the unofficial title of poet
laureate of the British Empire"
a title which could fit no one
else as well. His poems and his
stories kept the public in tune
with imperialism, and Kipling
often was a conductor who di-
rected the public as he might an
orchestra, welding a baton of
words which brought immediate
response throughout the empire,
making an imperial anthem loud
or soft as he pleased.
This truly was great power for
any man of letters to WELD before
reaching the age of 30, but Kip
ling did it, and did it successfully.
His real public, his fanatical dev-
otees, never foresook him, but the
inevitable reaction to popularity
came pendulum-swinging at the
Kipling star shortly after 1900.
eclipsing it for some years. 1t be-
came fashionable to pooh pooh
the man who wrote eff" and THE
White Mans Burden" while the
author of 1.-THE Jungle Books"
and 1.-THE Man Who Would Be
King" was forgotten.
Unlike most writer's, great or
small, however, Kipling outlived
this reaction. a thing possible
mostly because his fame came so
early in his life. In recent years,
he lived the life of recluSe at
BurWash, Sussex, critics and lay
men alike followed the pendulum
pointer back and generally have
agreed to stop it somewhere very
near the word great
Kipling'S lifelong refusal to talk
about himself, and the life he
lived-settled in far-off India or
travelling the world or alternating
in a Sussex fold where a "for-
eigner" is anyone coming from
more than 10 miles away-com-
bined to make Kipling the man
somewhat of a mystery, and this,
with his fame, went to make MIN
a legend.
Stripped of the mythical and
the near-true, Kipling's bare fac
tual is this:
He was born in Bombay, Deem
Der 80, 1865, the son of John
Lockwood Kipling, an artist and
museum curator, and the former
Alice Macdonald, one of the three
famous sisters of Birmingham
through whom he is related to
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin.
He was schooled at the United
Services College, Westward Ho.
North Devon, England, and re-
turned to India to become sub
editor on the Lahore Civil and
Military Gazette at the age of II.

SENATOR'S GET
SECRETPAPERS
Continued from Page u

committee members to show
President woodrow Wilson had
been informed of those treaties
during the war, although like
Lansing, he too denied such
knowledge when questioned by
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee in 1919. The evidence
against Mr.. Wilson appeared cir
cumstantial. since it was posi-
BILE that his Secretary of State
might have withheld information
from him.
Developments today indicated
that the munitions committee
chairman, Senator Gerald P.
Nye (R0 of North Dakota, and
Senator Clark CD of Missouri.
under fire from their colleagues
for "besmirching and despoiling
the memory" of Mr.. Wilson, may
be forced into making these docu-
ments public. They have been
available at all times to other
Senators for confidential inSpec-
ton.
Both Mr.. Nye and Mr.. Clark
said today they would stand on
the record, despite furious at
tacks. Both will demand more
funds to complete the scheduled
program of inquiry. This, the
Administration will resist.
The document revealing the
British councils debate has been
kept secret by orders from the
State Department. The Lansing
admission has been kept secret by
an express condition in the former
Cabinet officers will. Under Mr..
Lansing's injunction, it may not
be printed until 1851.
The debate in the Senate over
the whole incident, which was
brought to light by the Munitions
Committee inquiry, made inevita-
BILE an intense battle over perma-
nent neutrality legislation, while
the Democratic machine in the
Senate fought to terminate imme-
diately the unfinished work of the
investigators.
Campaign Issue Seen
Republicans were willing to
stop the inquiry, not because of
any friendship with the NUM-
lions makers or international
bankers, but because they would
then have a popular issue in
the coming presidential cam
paign. The Republicans could
then charge that the last Demo
cratic Administration carried the
country into the World War, and
the minute an inquiry pictured
such a situation, it was muzzled.
The memorandum handed the
State Department in May, 1917,
by Foreign Minister Balfour, was
transmitted by him from the
British Embassy to the State De
partment with enclosures"
One of the enclosures was a
verbatim copy of a report made
by Mr.. Balfour to the British
Imperial War Council a few
months earlier, and a transcript
of the debate within the council
on that report. In it, the Brit
ish council frankly discussed
their secret treaties, calling for
division of territorial spoils in
event the Allies won. Some of
the Central Powers, under that
treaty, were to be completely
dismembered.
In the excerpt from the Lam
sing diary. the former Secretary
of State declared that he was
sorry he was not permitted to tell
the tuth to the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate.
The Lansing excerpt carried the
date August 7, 1919, after he had
appeared before the committee.
The committee visited the White
House to question Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Lansing.

LAWYERS PASS
LIE AT RADIO
HEARING
BY STANLEY J. CARROLL

Shouting "liar," dirty work"
and "demagoguery." rival lawyers
for two large corporations nearly
came to blows at a hearing yester.
day before the Federal Communi.
cations Commission.
With the distinguished counsel
brandishing fists and shrilling de-
nunciations, physical combat was
averted only by prompt interven-
ton of DR.. Irwin Stewart, chair.
man of the hearing.
The clash came when Frank w,
Wozencraft, counsel for the r. C.
A. Communications, Inc, assailed
secret pacts into which the Inter.
national Telephone and Telegraph
Company had entered with Japan
and other foreign powers.
Fight Is Averted
Demanding these be revealed to
show whether the interests of the
United States were properly pro-
tected, Wozencraft shouted:
"Why should these agreements
be SO confidential they cannot
see the light of day."
Jumping to his feet, Howard L.
Kern, counsel for the I. T. and
T. and Mackay Radio interests,
pushed through associate counsel
as he cried:
"There has been too much Of
this talk of demagoguery, too
much of these inflammatory
statements by counsel for the
other side. 1 say you cannot do
this dirty work."
Reaching Wozencraft's side as
he finished his statement, Kern
raised his fist menacingly over
Wozencraft. who shouted back:
you are a damned liar"
At this point DR.. Stewart inter.
vened to reprimand both lawyers
and ordered the remarks stricken
from the record.
The hearing, marked by clashes
for four days, concerned applicar
ton of the Mackay Radio and
Telegraph Co. for permission to
establish direct radio service to
Oslo, Norway, a point served al
ready by r. c. A.
It has become a test case to
determine the Governments policy
in dealing with American Sys-
TENS engaged in the international
communications field.
Secrecy Attacked
Hammering steadily on secret
agreements between Mackay in
terests and foreign governments,
Wozencraft questioned whether
these. agreements could be found
to be in the interest of the United
States. He said:
II am asking for production Of
these contracts, which l. T. & T.
would have us believe are SO
confidential they should never
see the light of day, to see
whether /. T. & T. is able to
operate radio service solely in
the interest of the United States.
1 want to know, too, about the
British interests which own half
of the Pacific Gable Company.
The question is whether this
commission should grant radio
channels to a company with
these foreign agreements"
Kern declared his only objection
to introducing the contracts was
his uncertainty whether confiden-
tial facts of this nature could be
barred without embarrassment to
the State Department.
DR.. Stewart announced the COM
mission will study the contracts
but will not permit them to be.
come a part of the record.

PARIS, Aug. % G.N.S0.-Con-
fronted by Premier Mussollni'S
declaration that Italy interprets
collections of money and volun-
teer enlistmentS as indirect aid"
to Madrid, the French leftist
parties today moved to intensity
their activities in favor OF the
Spanish loyalists and against the
French non-intervention plan.
Italy's acceptance of the
scheme, barring individual aid to
either side in Spain, amounts to
maintenance Of Italy's liberty Of
action.

contrary to the democratic regimes
in France and Britain" declared

Lending point to Humanite's
statement, considered an official
declaration of the French Com
munist party, delegates to the

PARIS.-A warning Of drastic
punishments against French ma
tionaIs who fail to declare their
holdings abroad was issued by Vim
cent Auriol, finance minister, in
a speech in the town of Muret, Of
which he is mayor.
Good citizens, he said, would
bring out their hoard or eXpatri-
ated capital and assist national
recovery, and added:
I'm making threats against
no one, but if privileged classes
decline to yield, we have shown
by our action in reforming the
Bank of France that we can act
when necessary. French citizens
with funds abroad have until
September to declare them.
After that date those convicted
of evasion will have their SEN
fences posted on their door
fronts, and those who have
made false declarations will be
sent to prison."
We have learned through the
Bank of France that a certain
amount of capital has been ex-
ported through companies and
credit institutions, and we have
the means in our power to can

After the only registered ship
