BOGUS COIN PROBE
BRINGS 3 ARRESTS
Fourth Sought After Man
Is Stabbed in Dispute
at Hobo JunQIe.'

Secret Service agents and local po-
lice co-operated today in rounding up
counterfeiting gang whose opera
tions in one Of the Capitals "hobo
jungles" were uncovered by the stab
bing Of one of the alleged counter
feiters last night.
The victim of the stabbing, A.
year-oid colored man who told officers
he had served two prison terms for
counterfeiting, lay in critical condi-
tion at Gallinger Hospital. Two other
colored men and 4 white man were
being held at the eleventh precinct
police station. while q second white
man was being hunted.
Policemen Ralph Burton, w. r..
Greenfield and Charles Fagin dis
covered the counterfeiting plant for
the manufacture Of fake 5O-cent
pieces. cleverly hidden in a shanty in
the hobo jungle" near the Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Bridge. when they an
swered a call to investigate the stab
bing.
The officers confiscated two counter
feiting moulds and two half dollars
that apparently had been used in
making the moulds. The stabbing
victim was said to have admitted
passing several fake coins here yester-
day. Pending further investigation,
Secret Service agents said 1t was un-
certain how long the gang had been
operating.
Police were called to the scene by q
colored man who told them he had
come upon the counterfeiting opera
aons Unexpectedly and had stabbed
one OF the gang in self-defense when
they threatened to kill him to prevent
him from disclosing the plot. He was
one Of those being held at the llth
precinct for further investigation.
The other colored man in custody
also was arrested at the scene of the
stabbing. The white prisoner was
picked up early today.
M. r. Allen of the District ONCE of
the secret service, said that from
the appearance of the conf1scated
moulds he did not believe the fake
coins turned out by the gang would
be good enough to fool many people.
He said few counterfeit 5O-cent pieces
had been reported in circulation here
in recent months. and none Of these
matched the moulds found last night.

Text Of Presidents Talk
Makes Plea for Lasting World Peace in
Forum Address Last Night.

Following Is the text Of President
Roosevelt's speech delivered by radio
last night in connection with the New
York Herald Tribune's Forum on Cur
rent problems:
No one who lived through the grave
hours Of last month can doubt the
longing Of most Of the people of the
world for an enduring peace. Our
business now Is to utilize the desire
for peace to build principles which are
the only basis Of permanent peace.
1t Is becoming increasingly clear that
peace by fear has no higher or more
enduring quality than peace by the
sword.
There can be no peace If the reign
OF law Is to be replaced by recurrent
sanctification of sheer force.
There can be no peace II national
policy adopts as q deliberate instru-
ment the threat OF war.
There can be no peace II national
policy adopts as q deliberate instru-
ment the dispersion all over the world
Of millions Of helpless and prosecuted
wanderers with no place to lay their
heads.
Asks Freedom Of Thought.
There can be no peace If humble
men and women are not free to think
their own thoughts, to express their
own feelings, to worship God.
There can be no peace II economic
resources that ought to be devoted to
social and economic reconstruction are
to be diverted to an intensified COM
petition In armaments which will
merely heighten the suspicious and
fears and threaten the economic pros
perity Of each and every nation.
AT no time in modern history has
the responsibility which rests upon
governments been more obvious or
more profound.
l speak for United States which
has no interest in war. We covet
nothing save good relations with our
neighbors. and we recognize that the
world today has become our neighbor.
But in the principle Of the good
neighbor certain fundamental re-
ciprocal obligations are involved.
There must be deliberate and con.
scious will that such political changes
as changing needs require shall be
made peacefully.
That means due regard for the
sanctity of treaties. It means de-
liberate avoidance Of policies which
arouse fear and distress. 1t means
the self-restraint to refuse strident
ambitions which are sure to breed
insecurity and intolerance and there
by weaken the prospect of that eco
nomic and moral recovery the world

especially emphasizing Mr.. Hoover's
description of the four-power Munich
accord as a contribution to peace.

For more than IL years the United

Yet we have consistently pointed
out that neither we, nor any nation.
will accept disarmament while neigh.
Dor nations arm to the teeth. II there
Is not general disarmament, we our
selves must continue to arm. It is a
step We do not like to take, and do
not wish to take. But, until there is
general abandonment of weapons

OF national prudence and common
sense require that we be prepared.
We still insist that an armament
race among nations is absurd unless

by words: The kind of proof which
can be given, for example, by actual

lieved of the necessity Of increasing

as a permanent necessity the idea of
force, and reject it as an ideal of life,
we must be prepared to meet with sue
