While the President yesterday was
demanding that nothing be done to
upset the budget balancing apple cart,
blasts were issued attacking the ad-
ministration's handling of the fiscal
affairs of the Government from two
sources. Representative J. William
Otter, Republican, of Pennsylvania,
member of the House Appropriations
Committee, requested three of the
SCcS opCAlQiiiS dCRdi Va biaC
Government to prepare budget esti-
mates for the fiscal year 1899 cutting
25 per cent from the budget for the
year 1888. He did not include the De-
partment of Agriculture. but sent his
requests to the Treasury, Navy and Post
Office Departments. The other attack
came from the National Economy
League, which demanded that the ad-
ministration give the people the facts
and not estimates that constantly were
found to be in error by hundreds of
millions of dollars.
Representative Otter, in a state
ment to the press. said: Five years
have passed without genuine and
sincere effort on the part of President
Roosevelt to balance the Federal budg-
ct. In view of the present acute situ-
alton in Federal finances. and the
resulting threat to business recovery,
the time has come for positive action

NEW YORK, October 23.-Maj.
George Fielding Eliot Of the United
States Army said tonight that any
boycott, embargo or blockade against
japan might be considered by that
nation IAN act of war" to be resisted
by armed force.
He spoke on the third Of series o1
radio broadcasts sponsored by World
Peaceways, Inc. Other speakers were
DR.. Frank Kingdom, president Of New
ark University, and DR.. J. Max Weis,
director of research for World Peace
ways.
The Japanese cannot afford TO lose
their war In China, Maj. Eliot said,
and the "cold, hard logic of military
necessity" says they will meet one
kind of force with another kind of
force"
"They will use their powerful little
navy" he predicted, Ito escort expedi-
tionary forces to the Philippines and
Borneo (where the rubber and oil they
need are available), and will establish
tIltIilStlfCc III pANoctcoaoiA Va eAio'S
islands before any effective interfer-
ence can arrive either from the United
States or Europe"
Unless Americans are willing to risk
becoming involved in bloody Pacific
war to eject the japanese, he said,
they must abandon any plans for
a boycott.
DR.. Weis, on the other hand, as
serted that the American people want
the President to apply the neutrality
act and they want Congress to revise
that act to impose mandatory embar-
goes on cotton. oil, steel and iron ..
DR.. Kingdom asserted also that 1.-THE
President and the Congress will have
to modify, if not abandon, the neu-
trality act because 1t does not consti-
tute an international policy, but only
a retreat from one
Enforcement of present treaties, he
declared, will not cure the ills Of the
world, but merely aggravate them.

The National Economy League, re-
ferring to the Presidents recent re-
vision of the budget for the fiscal year
l938-the current year-said It lis one
more example of belated correction
of overoptimistic and wishful esti-
mates.
When this budget was first sub
mitted in January, 1887, 1t promised a
'layman's balance The marked drop
in revenues in March led to a revision
of estimates in April. which showed \
net deficit of s418,000. 900. This latest
revision, which allows for the appro-

Unless the President is firm in his
demand that Congress shall not add
new expenditures without providing
new revenue through taxation to meet
those expenditures, the deficit may 60
even higher at the end of the present
fiscal year A drop in revenue would
have a similar effect.

MOROCCO TROOPS

BY the Associated Press.
CASABLANCA, French Morocco,
October 23.-French colonial forces
were reinforced tonight to guard
against native agitation after putting
down riot of Moroccan nationalists
in the strategic northern town of
Khemisset.
Military suppression of rioters and
stern prison sentences for the leaders
stirred Moslem unrest along the vital
line from Rabat and Meknes to Fee,
beneath the towering Middle Atlas
Mountains.
Resident General Auguste Nogues,
veteran Of Add Ell Krim's 1925 Riff
rebellion, rushed to Khemisset where
planes and troops maintained patrol,
while other reinforcements were sent
to neighboring villages.
Fighting reached peak when more
than 1000 Arabs, armed with knives
and guns, attacked barricades erected
around government buildings. Troops
were rushed from Rabat, and until
they arrived 10 planes few low over
the city as warning to the rioters.
Meanwhile it was learned that the
French air force being sent to North
Africa for Fall imperial maneuvers'
had been raised from the original so
planes to more than 100. The aerial
squadrons are scheduled to begin ar
irving next week.

War, Now or Later, For
mer Official Says.

CONCORD, N. H., October 23.-
William r. Castle, Under Secretary OF
State in the Hoover administration,
criticized the American neutrality act
tonight as making real neutrality i'm
possible" and said "if We go in for
sanctions such as embargoes of one
kind or another it means war either
now or later"
After posing the question on the
Sino-Japanese conflict, "are we sure
that we now are able to laud one ma
ton while we wholly condemn an
other" Castle declared:
There is no safe ground between
official neutrality and official co-opera-
ton with one side or the other. And
because the second alternative (of11-
cial co-operation) means war, /
wonder whether even the most ardent
partisans would choose it,"
In an address at the 128th annual
meeting of the American Board for
Foreign Missions (CongregationaD
Castle, former ambassador to Japan,
asked:
Are those of you here who blame
the Department of State today for not
taking a more vigorous stand against
Japan willing to go to war yourselves
or to send your boys to war to fight
to save China from Japan?"
There is very grave doubt" he
suggested, "as to whether We are cap
able of choosing surely the right side
in controversy" The American neu-
trality act, however, he said. acts "only

the following statement in regard to
what he termed, the unfortunate

ing legitimate professional demand
and not once could have foreseen the
unlookedfor results. I do not feel that
there was any responsibility on our

been approved for use and had been
used in large quantities in other forms,
and now its many bad effects are de-

DR.. Massengill stated that the elixir

than at present goes for the soil con-
servation program.
Government expenditures for aid to
the farmers is approaching the billion
dollar year mark, when the regular
expenditures for the Department OF
Agriculture. amounting to about $1l5.-
600 900, are included along with soil
conservation and security programs
and crop loans. Cotton loans this year
will amount to $4,000, 900, and no one
knows Just how large the proposed
corn loans will be.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is
reported to favor a processing tax for
cotton and possibly for wheat and
tobacco. While the processing tax Is
collected from the concerns which
prepare farm products for sale to the
consumers, the consumers are those
who ultimately pay the tax in higher
prices.
Purposes Wholly Consistent.
In support of his demand for farm
legislation. the President said in his
letters, 1--WE must never again invite
the collapse of farm prices. the stop
page of farm buying and the demoral-
ization of business that followed the
Federal Farm Boards attempt to
maintain farm prices without control
of farm surpluses. To my mind the
purposes of the proposed new legis-
lation and the existing conservation
program are wholly consistent with
each other and can be related together
to the benefit of agriculture and
the Nation"
When Congress gets down to the
work of drafting the crop control bill
it will have to determine whether II
will make curtailment of crops COM
pulsory or voluntary; whether 1t will
fine or Jail farmers who do not stick
to the allotments made by the Gov
ernment, or whether it will pay for
voluntarily complying with the pro-
gram. In the old A. A. A, and under
the soil conservation program, the pay.
ments are for voluntary compliance
1t is far from likely that the admin
istration or the Congress will under
take compulsory crop control. Farm
ers do not like being compelled" even
for their own good. The supposition is
that provision will be made for Gov
ernment payments for compliance

HOPES Of EUROPE
BLASTED BY ITALY
Rome Warns She Has Made
Last Concession on
Intervention.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, October 23.-A Fascist
warning that italy had made her last
concession, coupled with unyielding
Russian opposition to the italian stand
today swept away Europe's optimism
for settlement of the problem of
foreign intervention in the Spanish
civil war.
The sixty-eighth session of the Nom
Intervention Subcommittee has been
called for Tuesday, but it promised
nothing but continued disputes be-
tween representatives of Europe's
great powers.
The statement, issued at Rome by
the official Stefani news agency and
believed to have been written by Pre-
mier Mussolini himself, said that "to
believe Italy can make further con-
cessions ION plans to withdraw for
eign troops from SPAIN is absurd"
The statement was accepted in Lon
don diplomatic quarters as virtual
obituary notice for the plan by which
Britain had hoped for withdrawal OF
volunteers and an attendant lessening
of the danger that the civil war would
become a general conflict.
The main discussion Tuesday was
expected to center on whether the ma.
tions would agree to accept the figures
of the two commissions the British
plan proposed be sent to Spain to de.
ternine, among other things, how
many volunteers were fighting for the
insurgents and the government. These
figures would be the basis for calcu.
lating troop Withdrawals from botf
sides.
Count Dino Grandi, the italian rep
resentative, stated fatty Italy woulc
not agree in advance to accept the
figures, and the Russian Ambassador
Ivan Maisky, countered that Russis
would accept them, but would not bt
bound by them.
The statement of no further cen.
cessions from Rome today indicated
the Italian position would not be al.
tered and observers considered Mask,
was unlikely to make any concession.
at this point-particularly to Italy.

By the Associated Press.


ROME, October 23.-Nearly 100000
leaders and minor chieftains will begin

of the Fascist forces. such as would
have been staged by the imperial
Caesars Of ancient Rome.

the march on Rome Is years ago will
be present Thursday. They are Mar
shall Italo Balbo, Governor of Libya;
Marshal Emilio de Bono, conqueror
of Adua, and Count de Vecchi di Val
Cismon, Governor of the Dodecanese
Islands. The fourth, Michele Bianchi,
is dead.
Contrary to the legend which has
grown up uncontradicted in the minds
of Italian youth, Mussolini did not
lead the march. He came to Rome
and power-on October 29 by train at
the summons of King Vittorio Eman-
uele to halt the threat of civil war.
In addition to inaugurating many
public works throughout the kingdom,
II Duce is expected to speak. exalting
