HOURS DEBATE
PRECEDES ACTION

WASHINGTON, May IL. (UP)
Congress sent the aid-to- business
tax bill to the White House We'd
nesday as the house concluded
debate on President Roosevelt's
new spending lending program
preparatory to enacting it within
is hours. .. -,
The conference report on the
5,330,000,000 revenue bill was
adopted by Il vote of PAP to 80
after an hour of partisan debate.
1t was approved in five minutes
by the senate on Monday and
now requires only the presidents
signature to give big and little
business the tax relief they have
demanded for more than year.
At the same time, Secretary of
Commerce Daniel c. Roper said
the trade slump probably has
reached bottom" or, at least,
business sis not declining at the
rate shown earlier" His state
ment was based on a survey of
current conditions throughout the
nation.
Debate on the tax report and
the $3,000,000,000 spending-lend-
ing bill was, loud but dull. Repub-
licans complained insufficient tax
relief is being provided to bust
ness although they agreed that
the proposed changes are a "long
step toward sanity" The measure
retains only skeleton of the en-
battled undivided profits levy
adopted in 1886, relaxes capital
gain sand losses restrictions, but
makes no change in the personal
income tax rates.
The one hour set aside for de-
bate of the report was heightened
to 80 minutes to allow members
to pay tribute to Representative
Fred Vinson, D., KY, the "strong
man" of the ways and means
group, who retired from congress
last night to become a justice of
the District of Columbia circuit
court of appeals. He was appoint
ed weeks ago, and confirmed by
the senate, but remained to aid
in the tax revisions.
AS soon as it had completed
congressional action on the reve-
nue. bill, the house resumed de-
bate on the recovery program and
completed it at 6:19 p. m. The
chamber met at IL a. m. today,
an hour earlier than usual, in a
drive to enact the measure be-
fore nightfall. Procedure approx
ed by the rules committee will
throw the bill open to all amend
ments, and the number of chang
es proposed will determine wheth-
err the legislation can be enacted
today or must go over until Fri
day. sGI1A

VIOLATES PACT
Vigorous Stand Taken in
Plan to Confiscate Amer

80 NATIONS TO CONFER
REGARDING REFUGEES

WASHINGTON, May ~. (UP)
The state department last night
disclosed that Hugh R. Wilson,
American ambassador to Berlin,
had lodged a vigorous protest
with the German government
against the Nazi decree expropri-
ating property of all Jews regard
less whether they are German or
foreign Jews.
Wilson filed the protest on May
9. 1t stated bluntly and emphati-
cally that the American govern
ment would consider application
of the decree to American Jews
violation of the rights accord
ed American citizens under the
treaty of friendship, commerce
and consular rights between the
United States and Germany, sign
ed Dec. 8, 1929
A few hours later the state de-
partment announced that a con-
ference of more than 80 nations
will be held in EVANS, France,
July 8. to form an inter-govern-
mental committee to study repat-
ration of political refugees from
Germany and Austria.
The offer of sanctuary to po-
litically oppressed people was pro
posed by President Roosevelt and
Secretary of State Cordell Hull in
March, and invitations were sent
to nine Euroean powers. three
British dominions and all Latin
American republics. OF this group,
only Italy refused to cooperate.
At the EVANS conference, dele
gates from the various participat-
ing nations will form an interna-
tional committee to study the
problem Of providing permanent
Ravens for the refugees and sug-
gest possible lines of action, the
department said.
The protest, characterizing the
Nazi decree as discriminatory, y
said the United States felt that
the German government upon fur
Their consideration "will give early
assurances that the measure will
not be applied to American citi-
Zens."
The text of the note, one Of the
most vigorous presented to for
eign government since the sink
ing of the U. S. S. Panay by Jap
anese warplanes last December,
follows:
"On April 26, 1888, decree
was issued by the German gov
eminent and supplemented by in
structions under which all Jews
and their spouses, whether Ger
man or foreign nationals, are
called upon to declare, subject 10
certain small exceptions, all prop
.erty held in Germany, while such
declarations are not required from
Germans generally nor from other
foreigners. 1t appears further that
the commissioner for the (NaZi)
four-year plan is authorized TO
use the fortunes so declared in
harmony with the requirements OF
German economy ,
"The government of the United
States considers that the appllca-
ton of measures of the nature
indicated to the property of AM
erican citizens of the Jewish race
would violate rights accorded
American citizens under the trea,
tv of friendship, commerce and
consular rights between the Unit,

SohSeSsk.
Great Britain today laid her
first sacrifice-Ethiopia-on the
altar of Europe's renlodeled and
realistic peace plan.
Emperor Halle Selassie Of
Ethiopia appeared at the League
of Nations council to plead angri-
ly, desperately but vainly, against
the British proposal to create a
legal pretext for recognition of
ltaly's conquest of his ancient ma
ton, Ethiopia.
The emperor said he was the
victim of aggression and that. the
league has torn up it's covenant
pledges and turned to the fatal
policy of peace at any price.
He added that implacable guer-
lila warfare will be waged until
the Italians are driven out or the
Ethiopianse exterminated.
Ill and despairing, he appeared
before a cold and hostile League
of Nations council. He was too
weak to make his speech himself,
and it was read for him by his
chief delegate. He knew that his
plea was made to deaf ears but
he wanted to put before the
world his case.
It was learned at Paris, also
that he had pledged his life to re-
sist Italy and that he was prepar-
ing to organize his countrymen
for guerilla warfare.
The league had tried to save
Ethiopia and failed. Young Italy,
rising on the long cold ruins of
the Roman empire, had over
whelmed a country whose tower
ing mountains, torrid sun and
fierce warriors had turned back
the legions of the Caesars 20 GEN.
turtles ago.
Now, two years to the day since
Italian delegates left the league
chamber because of penalties i'm
posed by the league for their
country's aggression, the great
powers wanted to recognize the
conquest. 3,
Snubbed by statesmen n d
league officials alike, knowing
that he was unwelcome, knowing
that the great powers had writ
ten the death warrant OF MS en-
pire, he faced the league council
lors defiantly.
