Misleading Public With
Propaganda /"
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fFeSS.
Senator McKellar, Democrat, of
Tennessee, In q radio speech in which
he accused the newspaper industry
generally of misleading the public with
propaganda" asserted last night that
the New Deal spending was bringing
prosperity and happiness" to the
Nation.
He declared former President Hoo
yer added $4,000, 100000 to the ma
tional debt 'in two years and two
months and, so far as beneficially af-
fecting the depression is concerned,
he might as well have gotten together
S., ,000, ,0e0, 600, reduced it to ashes and
then scattered the ashes In the ocean.
"On the other hand, Roosevelt
spends $7,s0o. .00o, 900 in three years
and makes the country prosperous and
happy and restores prosperity to our
people"
The Senator added that ''pernicious
and untrue propaganda would make
you believe that Roosevelt has squan-
dered the taxpayers money without
doing any good"

against German reoccupation of the
Rhineland.
The nations represented at the ses-
sion were Czechoslovakia, Rumania
and Yugoslavia composing the Little
Entente. and Greece and Turkey
which with Rumania and Yugoslavia
make up the Balkan Entente.
The delegates took their stand at
meeting over which Nicholas Titulescu,
foreign minister Of Rumania, presided.
Titulescu was to leave for London to-
night to attend the session of the
League Of Nations Council.
African Crisis May Be Talked.
Some League cl cles forecast that a
preliminary exchange of views on the
proposal for peace In East Africa will
also be considered at the London
council session together with the Lo-
carno situation. These circles pointed
out that the council Is really the
League Committee Of Is plus Italy
and that a review Of the Italo- -Ethio-
plan war might be considered. since
both Ethiopia and Italy have accepted
the appeal to negotiate peace.
Oficers of the Swiss Army have
been instructed to remain near their
barracks and to keep constantly In
touch with their superiors.
The minimum French demand for
settlement of the Locarno crisis, the
Journal Des Nations said today. was
that Germany must withdraw some Of
its troops from the Rhineland and give
a pledge to construct no Notifications
there.
French Foreign Minister Pierre
Etienne F1andin told representatives Of
signatories of the violated Locarno
pact, in their Paris conference yester-
day. this newspaper said, that Britain
and Italy, as guarantors of the treaty
which Germany broke. were obligated
to give military assistance to France.
Even without overt German aggres-
sion on French soil. this assistance was
pledged. the journal quoted Flandin
as saying. and France was ready to
put all its military forces at the dis
posal Of the League Of Nations, whose
oeClSIOn rTdnCe aWalteo.
Italian Sanctions Involved.
In the event the Locarno guarantors
defaulted their obligations, the news
paper said. France might ask cancella-
ton Of the League sanctions now
operating against Italy.
Flandin was reported to have de-
clared economic and financial sane
ttons could be applied against any
country which endangered peace by
repudiating international obligations.
as did Germany by its occupation last
Saturday Of the Rhineland.
These sources forecast exceedingly
difficult negotiations in the second
conference OF Locarno signatories,
called for tomorrow at London, and
the League Council session, called for
Saturday in Britain's capital, to deal
with the issue.
A general opinion prevailed, how
ever, that the longer the negotiations
drag on the less likelihood there was
OF any serious military complications
arising from the crisis.
London Farley Surprise.
League quarters. at first stunned by
the swift removal of the Locarno crisis
negotiations from Paris and Geneva
to London. accepted the transfer more
calmly as possible development TO-
ward peace.
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden's return to London, instead Of
coming to- Geneva, created a sensa-
ton, the move being interpreted
swiftly to mean that the Locarno
crisis continued to be serious.

H|PSUBS|DY BILL
DOOMED BY CLARK
Missourian Says 20 Others
Will Join in Killing
Legislation.

Senator Clark, Democrat, Of Mis-
souri, said today he land about 20
others" would kill the Copeland ship
subsidy bill by means of fllibuster.
He said it contained no safeguards
against robbery" Of the Government.
His pronouncement threw a new
cloud over the controversial problem
that has pressed on Congress since
President Roosevelt, early in his ad-
ministration. announced he wanted to
substitute direct subsidies for the pres
ent ocean mail contracts, widely called
indirect subsidies.
While Chairman Copeland of the
Senate Commerce Committee struggled
to obtain committee approval of his
direct subsidy measure. the Senate
called up for debate today Treasury
Post ONCE appropriation bill from
which the Senate Appropriations
Committee had eliminated s26, 500 900
intended to finance the ocean mail
contracts for another year. There was
q possibility the whole subsidy issue
would be fought out on the question
Of sustaining the committee.
50 Per Cent Grant Maximum.
The Copeland bill, which is a COM
promise worked out after a fight
between the Post once and Com
merce Departments. permits the Gov
ernment to grant a maximum SUBJ
sidy OF so per cent to concerns for
building ships and an operating sub
sidy large enough to offset lower costs
Of foreign operation. In addition,
owners could borrow from the Gov
ernment rs per cent Of the money
for their share of the construction
costs.
The Guffey bill limits the construc-
ton subsidy to 33ls per cent and
allows an operating grant comparable
to that in the Copeland bill. But
it also provides that if private cap
ital cannot be induced to build and
operate ships. the Government may
do so.
Clark's threatened filibuster did not
necessarily spell the end of ship
subsidy legislation this session, for
he said he would not fight a bill in
troduced by Senator Guffey, Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania, although, he
added, Il will not vote for it."
Copeland recognized the complex
ity OF the situation when he asked
witness at hearing last night:
II the Senate knocks out the ocean
mail money and no ship subsidy legis-
lation Is passed, what will happen?"
Catastrophe Is Predicted.
Ira A. Campbell, general counsel of
the American Steamship Owners As
sociation. answered:
America will have one Of the worst
catastrophes in history"
Clark contended the Copeland bill
provides no protection against the
robbery" he said had been perpetrat-
ed under the ocean mail-carrying
plan enacted in 1928.
Throughout two days of hearings
Clark repeatedly shot out the ques-
ton:
If the Government Is going to put
up about all the money for building
these ships and then pay for running
them. why shouldn't it own them?"

DEMOCRATS MAKE
 NOVEL REQUEST
Ask Republican Headquar- ters for 6,OOO Copies of
 G. o. P. Platform

Hartford Conn, Sept. 18--(UP)- The democratic state central com mittee today appealed to eastern republican headquarters at New York for 5000 copies of the g. o. p. platform to mail out to Connecti- cut voters. A letter from William M. Greene, secretary of the commit tee, explained that 5000 copies of the democratic platform were being distributed. For purposes of afford ing comparison between the two platforms" Greene said, the repub- lican platform is required.
 Greene wrote: If compatible with your policy we would appreciate re- ceiving from you 5000 couies of the platform adopted at the republican national committee held at Cleve- land. Upon receipt of these plat forms, we will mai them, along with folders such as the enclosed, to a select mailing list.
 "Our idea, naturally, is for the purposes of affording a comparison between the two platforms. Because of the possibilities of incorrect quoting we have hesitated to use the republican platform as printed in the newspapers at hand.
 This is a serious request and not made in a facetious vein.
 "You really should welcome this opportunity as it will afford distri- button of your platform to an czl. tirely new field here in Connecticut and at no cost to your party"
