BLOOM MAKES
FLAG TALK

Little is known of the history
of the United States flag and,
while it is unfortunate, the Betsy
Ross flag legend Is not true, said
Representative Sol Bloom CD Of
New York in a Flag Day address
over Radio Station VOL last
night.
Mr.. Blooms address was SEIZED
uled for the east steps Of the
Capitol, but q storm forced his
audience to flee for cover and ne
ceSsitated that his speech be made
inside.
In discussing the general lack
Of specific knowledge Of the flags
history, he said:
"The origin Of the Declaration
Of Independence and the events
connected with its signing are
we'll known and well authenti-
Gated. In the same way, the
origin Of the Constitution Is care
fully dOcumented so that . stu
dent may know the entire his
tory Of its foundation.
But the origin of the flag re-
mains q mystery and we prob
ably shall never know the facts
about it.
what we do know Is that
ON June IL, 1777, the flag, very
much as we know it today, be-
came q reality, differing only
in the number and arrangement
Of stars from tOday's flag"
Yesterday afternoon, in other
Flag Day ceremonies, q flag 1902
by 1876 feet-said to be the largest
United States flag ever made
was displayed at Griffith Stadium,
where ceremonies were conducted
by John L. Burnett, Council No. 4,

EUROPE EVADES
PAYMENT OF
DEBT AGAIN


Brow.wrinkled in perplexity,
Uncle Sam today scanned Europe's
ten-billion- dollar-a-year ornaments
expenditure while he ruefully
turned empty pockets outward as
World War debtor nations again
defaulted.
To Americas polite reminder
that the time again had come
when Europe might pay just a mite
on account on its $12,110,958,S5O
war debts. the nations blandly re-
piled in effect:
"We're sorry. Wed like
,awfully we'll to pay you but we
really must build more battle
ships and airplanes, and there's
just nothing left over"
$2O5,33S,754 Owed
Europe owed in Semi-annual in
stalmentS today SOS, 338,754. Its
default amounted to $3.50, 1885,.
1853.
Among the 10 debtor-nationS,
there was one one, the little repub-
lie Of Finland, which came
through promptly with its regu-
lar payment of $163, 143. The
others sent only the same stereo-
typed regrets" that have come to
the State Department with mono
tonous regularity for four years.
In high official circles it was
admitted the probability is that
Europe will take no sincere step
to pay off its debts until the inn
minent threat of a new European
war drives the nations again to
appeal to America to be their
banker.
Further Loans Blocked
Until the debts are settled, Con-
gresS has blocked further loans to
the debtors. The johnson Act
forblds both Government and prl-
vate loans to those in default.
The United States already has
scaled down the debts to fraction
of what the World War loans to-
tailed, gave the nations So years in
which to pay and in some in
stances practically cancelled the
interest, all in an attempt to put
the debts on a basis of the in
dividual nations ability to pay,
officials explained.
Wants More Trimming
On top Of this, they said, Eu-
rope would like these scaled debts
to be trimmed to payment Of 10
cents or less on the dollar, so they
could nullify the johnson Act and
again have free access to American
billions.
But the State Department has
replied to such proposals with the
statement that the American peo-
pie and Congress aren't interested.
They can pay, or get no more
American dollars.
Great Britain, which several
months ago announced a seven
a n d-a-half-billion-dollar rearma-
ment program, and France and
Italy, also feverishly rearming, are
the major debts. Britain owes
$5,029, 1853, 1913; France, $4,061 1884,
315, and italy, $2,015,522530.

You May Not Own
A Distillery, But?

An activity with which few have
contact, but which benefits us all
is carried ON by the stock fire insur-
ance industry. through the National
Board of Fire Underwriters Com
mittee on Fire Prevention and Engi-
neering Standards.
This committee periodically stu
dies and reports on fire hazards and
their elimination In various indus
tries. For example, a late bulletin
has to do with the soft coal indus
try, and shows how the risks of fire
may be reduced by proper storage
of coal in mines, prevention of air
movement through piled coal, care
ful handling to avoid breakage, etc.
Similar bulletins have been issued
on motion picture theatres, distill-
ing plants, and a long list of other
businesses where peculiar hazards
are encountered.
You may not have a coal mine, n
dlstillery, theatre, an office build
ing or anything else of the kind
but these authoritative reports indi-
reetly help your pocketbook. They
do that by holding down fire loss
loss which is felt by everyone In
one way or another. Our current
loss Is disgracefully high-but 1t
would be far greater were ii not for
fire prevention activities of this kind.
And, Infinitely more important, so
would loss of life due to fire.
What the experts do for industry.
you can do for your own home and
place of business. "A little know
ledge, little time. little effort will
eliminate most hazards-at an un-
told saving in lives and dollars.

Serving America

"Wall Street has long since out
grown its city boundaries" q flnan-
cial commentator recently pointed
out. Thinking Of IL as part of, or
particularly identified with, any city,
section or region is TO lose its very
essence. 1t Is national In character
and in the scope Of its activities and
services. 1t serves all sections with
equal efficiency and impartiality.
And but yesterday 1t became inter-
national.
Nor is there any sectional favor
itism influencing the shrewd and
calculating recruiting of its man
power from the best brains and
ability wherever found
The great figures of this interna-
tional street weren't born there.
They didn't rise to their eminence in
industry and finance by divine
right. They came from Hickville and
San Francisco and Sauk Center and
Chicago-from a thousand hamlets
and towns and cities. They are truly
representative OF America--smal
town America, and agricultural AM
erica as well as big-city America
In their work In financial houses
and banks and security exchanges
they are serving all OF America. They
are helping build it's industries, pro-
vide Its jobs. expand It's payrolls and
income. There's nothing dark or
mysterious about Wall Street-it's
simply a very important intersec-
tion ON the great financial highway
Of our Industrial civilization.

FAINT TRAIL FOUND
IN WEBSTER MURDER
Near Scene Shortly After
Doctor Was Killed

Providence, r. l., July 22-(AP)-
Following a faint trail in the Web
ster murder mystery, detectives today
investigated the story of a street car
motorman that he picked up ruddy-
faced man a short time after DR..
George Webster was mortally wound
ed in his home.
The motorman, Pat Mills, said he
picked up the man within walking
distance of the Webster home and
near the spot where a boy found a
box of cartridges for gun of the
same calibre as the weapon with
which Webster was slain last Friday.
The inquiry turned from Boston to
Pawtucket as metropolitan police an
nounced they quickly had abandoned
the theory men sought for jewel
robbery had any connection with the
Webster Staying.
Police said the motorman told them
his only passenger got off at the
Pawtucket-Providenc city line.
