BANKERS PLAN
FOR new deal
But Resolutions viii Call
For Balanced Federal
Budget
MAY ASK TIGHTER
SECURITY FUND REIN

HOUSTON, Tex, Nov. IT,
(UP)-Demands that the govern
ment balance its budget and that
q tight rein be placed on handling
of social security funds last night
were expected to be included in
resolutions being prepared for the
Gath annual convention of the
American Bankers association.
The resolutions will be present
ed for a vote today. Leaders
among the bankers predicted pri-
vately that there would not be a
broadside attack on the New Deal
which had come in for consider
able criticism by several speak
ers.
They did expect, however, that
the balanced budget issue would
be raised and that strong express
sions regarding social security
money, which is supposed to be
held for specific purposes, would
be made.
P. D. Houston of Nashville was
put in line for eventual leadership
of the Bankers association yes
terday when he was elected Sec
ond vice president. Under the nor
nal procedure of the. osganiza-
ton he probably will be- elected
first vice president next year and
president in 1910.
Philip A. Benson of Brooklyn,
n. Y, was elevated to the presi-
dency yesterday, succeeding Or
val w. Adams of Salt Lake City.
Robert Hanes of Winston-Salem,
n. c., advanced from second vice
president to first vice president.
J. Reuben Clark of Salt Lake
City, first counsellor to the preSi-
dent of the Mormon church and
also chairman of the Foreign
Bondholders Protective Council
of New York, warned the organi-
zation yesterday that bankers
would have to take a definite part
in the fight between freedom of
one hand and "Hitlerism and
heathenism" on the other.
Clark warned that when a gov
ernment gets too powerful, eco
nomic and social tyranny always
is followed the the belief of rul-
ers that they are more than
men,"

Against Terrorism

BOSTON, Nov. II. (UP)-Con-
demnation of the "bestiality" of
"the Pagan Hitler" was expressed
yesterday by the Massachusetts,
Governors Council.
The attack was made in reso-
luton recommended by Governor
Charles F. Hurley and adopted by
his council of one Jew and seven
Gentjles. simultaneously, Harvard
and Simmons college students at
mass demonstrations wired resolu-
tions to President Roosevelt sup
porting his criticism of the anti
Semitic drive in Germany.
Praising President Roosevelt for
championing the cause of the Ger
man Jews, the resolution of the
governors council read:
"The world must rally to the
side of our noble president
who demands justice and fair play
for the victims of Nazi barbarism
and an opportunity for them to
resettle elsewhere with the help
of the great nations of every con-
tinent."
The resolution, copies of which
were sent to the president and
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, expressed
the hope that "the former will find
inspiration in it to go forward in
his plans to solve the plight of un-
fortunate Jews, while the latter
will see in it the discrespect and
disdain rightfully heaped upon
him.
The student demonstrations,
sponsored by the American Stu
dent Union and addressed by fac
ulty and student body members,
urged Mr.. Roosevelt to help jew
ish refugees find homes in the
United States and Great Britain.
"Frantic, weary. terror-stricken
as a result of the bestiality and
cruelty of the madman of Europe,

sands of innocent Jews, suffering,
prosecuted and tortured solely be-
cause of their religious faith, seek

amy and oppression of the brute
and the savage" read the gover-
nor's resolution.

BERLIN, Nov. 17.-(UP)-
The Berliner Lokalanzeiger to-

U. S. ENVOY, BRITISH CABINET
STUDY PLAN FOR NEW HOMES
FOR 100000 JEWS IN GERMANY
Representatives of Five
Nations May Consider
Mass Migrations
BY JOSEPH w. GRIGG, JR.
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Nov. IT. (UP).-
The United States and Great Bri-
tain last night studied a $780,
100000 plan to establish new
homes for 100000 prosecuted
German Jews. Under the plan
Britain would offer land in her
colonies and other nations would
finance mass migration.
The proposal, representing a
new approach to Il bold plan
launched by United States Ambas-
sador Joseph P. Kennedy, was un-
derstood to have been studied by
the British cabinet in a two-hour
session at No. 10 Downing street
during Wednesday.
The Daily Mail said Kennedy
and the British government en-
visaged the removal of all Jews
from Germany.
If the ambitious plan material
ICES, Britain would offer the op-
pressed German Jews land in
British Guiana and other colonies
and call upon the United States
and other countries to make con-
tributions for the financing of the
settlement.
British Colonial-Dominions Sec
retary Malcolm Macdonald con-
ferred last night with the Aus
tralian High Commissioner in Lon
don, Stanley NJ. Bruce, on the
plan t9: settle Jews in the Aus
tralian inundated territory of New
Guinea.
1t also was reported that France
was ready to open Madagascar to
the Jews.
Both regions are undeveloped
and large amounts of financing
would be necessary to establish
Jewish settlements.
1t was understood that a five
power conference probably ly would
be summoned in London within a
few days to discuss the undertake
ing.
The nations summoned to the
conference would be the United
States, Great Britain, France, the
Netherlands and Brazil, compos-
ing the directorate of the inter-
governmental committee on ref
ugees set up at Evian, Switzer-
land, last summer.
1t was indicated that the COM
mittee would meet within 10 days
but that the Anglo-United States
plan, if it can be worked out,
might be announced within the
next 4S hours.
The strongest condemnation yet
made by a member of the British
cabinet against Germany's anti
Jewish crusade came from Minis
ter of Defense Coordination Sir
Thomas Inskip who, in speech at
Manchester last night, said "such
appalling treatment Of an inno-
cent people" would "moSt certain
