CROMWELL is HERE
TO URGE TRADE PLAN
Favors $5o0,o00 Appropriation
to Investigate His Ideas on
Money Lending.

James H. r. Cromwell, economist,
mentioned as possible successor to
Senator Moore of New Jersey, who
will become Governor of his State
next month, came to Washington
yesterday to advocate his negative
interest" theory as means of re-
viving prosperity.
Mr.. Cromwell, husband of Doris
Duke, known as the worlds richest
girl, appeared before the Senate Agri-
culture Committee to urge the adop-
ton of an amendment authorizing
appropriation Of s500,000 to set up
an impartial agency to investigate
his proposals and their economic
Soundness.
In brief, he he would reduce inter-
est to borrowers by Federal sub
sidy to bankers making loans at less
than s per cent interest for projects
calculated to stimulate recovery. The
subsidy would represent the differ
ence between the actual interest paid
on the loan and per cent These
loans would be made for periods up
to 10 years, and the bankers would
be given the privilege Of hypothecat-
ing the notes securing the loans with
Federal Reserve banks.
Estimating the probable cost to the
Government at from two to three
hundred million dollars, Mr.. Crom-
vel lsaid: This would be far cheaper
than the present cost of P. w. A
projects and would be Is times as
effective in increasing private pur-
chasing power and promoting recov-

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. IL
George Collins, race horse owner and
oil operator from Frankfort, KY, told
three Federal commission yes
terday he obtained an interest in mil
lions of dollars worth of marble in the
Norris Dam area by the payment of
a few dollars.
Mr.. Collins, partner of Senator
George l.. Berry, testified at hearing
before the commission to determine
the value Of leases on extensive mar
Bile deposits which the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority has declared worthless.
Mr.. Collins said he joined Mr.. Berry
and c. A. Harris of Knoxville in pur-
chasing leases in the dam reservoir,
but that he was interested solely in
oil development He obtained a half
interest in the enterprise, he said, by
promising payment of $1,000 to a
Mr. w. H Ford.
His actual expenditures, however,
amounted to only few dollars, he
said
Oil Operations Not Covered.
Counsel for the T. V. A. pointed
out that the leases did not cover oil
operations.
T. " A. counsel contended that Mr..
Berry and his associates were en-
powered in 1885 to collect 6Ia per cent
OF any claims against the Authority
for damages to certain tracts flooded
by Norris Dam.
Alvin Ziegler, T. v. A. attorney, pro-
duced two legal papers dated Novem-
Der rs. l925-and bearing signature
he said was Mr.. Berry's-which can
celed two powers of attorney for q
Sharp family in Union County.
Purports New Agreement.
The documents set forth what pur-
ported to be new agreement whereby
the Berry interests would assume the
cost of any litigation and in return
receive 62la per cent of any damages
collected, The original papers had
provided for $3.50 split.
Senator Berry previously had testi-
fed he knew nothing of the powers
of attorney and had never had any
intention Of claim against the Gov
ernment when he began marble opera
tions in the Norris Reservoir.
Mr.. Harris later said he negotiated
the agreements without Berry's knowl-
edge.

GANNETT FAVORS
SHARING PROFITS
Also Would Allow Labor Place
on Directorates of Industrial
Corporations.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. l1.-Frank E.
Gannett, Rochester IN. " publisher,
advocated last night a representation
Of labor on the boards of industrial
corporations and urged . sharing of
industrial profits with workers and
consumers.
At the same time he recommended
greater tax relief for corporations dis
tributing profits to employees.
Speaking over Nationwide radio
hookup, Gannett pleaded for a real
partnership between capital and labor"
to the idea of which he said there
is often much lip service, but seldom
has 1t actually been in effect"
As q solution of "our perplexing
labor problem" he outlined policy
which would:
l. Give capital fixed and fair re-
turn varying with the risks involved,
always high enough to coax capital
into business ventures, to induce in
vestment."
2. Share additional profits with the
workers and the consumers and give
limited bonus to management"
Asserting that many corporations
already provide dividends and bonuses
to employees. Gannett added, employees
too often are skeptical whether they
are getting their just share of the
profits"
