CONSIDER STEP
TO STOP FLOW
OF HOT MONEY
Morgenthau Says Decision
Will Be Made in
Few Days

| WASHINGTON, Feb. l6. CUP
| A decision will be made within q
| few days on steps to protect the
nations credit structure by stem
ming the flow of what President
Roosevelt calls shot" money -
heavy import sof foreign capital
for investment or safe-kceping -
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau. Jr., said last night.
Morgenthau made the an
nouncement at press conference
following the first of n series OF
meetings of administration fiscal
chiefs on the problem Of CONTROL
ing $500, 100000 of foreign
funds already invested here and
of stopping the steady inflow. IL
is admitted privately that II the
heavy foreign investments were
liquidated and the none" with
drawn from the country, a stock
market collapse might result.
Attending the conference with
Morgenthau were SEC Chairman
James NJ. Lands and Reserve
Board Chairman Mariner E. Ec-
cles. President Roosevelt asked
them last November to study the
situation which embraces such del
icate problems as the nations
credit position, foreign trade and
neutrality.
Secretary Morgenthau has in
formed congress the administra-
! ton proposes that the $34, O0O,-
900, 900 national debt be retired
over a quarter of century to
avoid imposing an unduly heavy
burden on taxpayers in any single
year.
Testifying before the house APP
preparations committee on the 81
468, 404,470 treasury postofflce
supply bill, Morgenthau empha-
sized that continuance Of the
present social security tax sched-
ules would enable retirement OF
$S0,000,000,OO0 of the national
debt by 1866.
He urged prompt continuance
of so-cailed nuisance" taxes
which now yield the treasury
$500, 100000 annually. At the
same time, he painted a glowing
picture of continued economic re-
covery but warned congress that
IL must assume responsibility Tor
an unbalanced feredal budget If 1t
made appropriations in excess OF
budget requirements.
In his budget message to con-
gress, President Roosevelt fore
cast a substantially balanced bud
get in the fiscal year beginning
July /, 1887, and a complete bal
ancing of the budget with a start
toward retirement Of the national
debt in the fiscal year beginning
July /, 1888. Both predictions
we're based. on the absence OF un-
toward economic Developments
and on the premise that new taxes
will be imposed to meet unbudget-
ed appropriations by congress.

'LAUDS FARLEY
FOR COURAGE
Roosevelt Leads Paean at
S100-a-Plate Dinner
in Washington

WASHINGTON, Feb. lG. (UP).
President Roosevelt led 1000 Dem
ocrats last night in pacan of
praise for National Chairman
James Aloysius (Big JIM Farley
at a $l00-a-plate dinner, the pro-
cecds of which went to help re-
duce the party's campaign deficit.
Mr.. Roosevelt said there is not
man in the United States who
has more dcep-seated, thorough
going courage" than Farley.
"History has recorded, and will
continue to record, a great many
interesting facts about JIM said
the president.
at will talk about his organic.
ing Of campaigns; it will spca kof
his fine service as the administra-
tor of an important department of
the federal government. 1t may
even add his name to the distln-
guished list of major prophets.
Even as the name Of William Jen-
nings Bryan sometimes suggests
| the arithmetic of 16 to !, so per-
haps the name Of jim Farley Will
suggest the more modern arith'
metic of 46 to 2.
"But whe nhistory is written
after all of us have passed from
the scene, there will be something
| more important than the Chroni'
Gle of success in accomplishment
"On the Saturday before cleo
ton. in speaking to the workers
at headquarters, / praised Jim
Farley for the way he had taken
things on the chin and had come
up smiling every time. That
means courage and there is not a
man in the United States who has
more deep-seated. thorough-go-
ing courage than he.
"Back of it all ultimate history
analyses the cause Of human ac-
tons and human qualities. 1t will,
I think, agree with my analysis
when I say that Jim Farley is not
lust Democrat with big D.
he is a Democrat in the sense that
he has faith in his fellowmen.'
The President closed his brief
address, which was broadcast, by
asking the company to join him in
wishing health and happiness to
"my friend and your friend, a
faithful servant of the people of
our republic, jim Farley"

Farnsworth Asks
Court For Mercy

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. (UP)
John Sonar Farnsworth, 43, who
was "cashiered" out Of the navy
in 1927, Withdrew his plea of not
guilty and threw himself on the
mercy of the court yesterday
when he was brought to trial on
charges Of conspiracy to sell ma
val secrets to Japan.
The move closed the govern
ment files on an alleged interna-
tional spy intrigue which Omen
and navy intelligence officers had
ferreted out since Farnsworth's
arrest last July.
The former popular naval Off
Ger, his once dapper moustache
shaven off and his face sunken
about nearly toothless jaws, num-
bled a technical plea of "nolo con,
tenderc" when his case was called
in federal district court.
BY this plea, while technically
not admitting guilt Farnsworth
told the court he was not willing
to contest the charges by stand
ing trial. Judge James M. Proctor
invited statements from prosccu-
ton and defense attorneys before
opera stars, Lawrence Tibet and
Helen Jepson, sang. Democrats
came from all over the nation to
attend the dinner.
