lea in the event of war was pro-
posed by prominent banker last
night and opposed by a Senator and
. veteran counsel to American peace
missions.
James P. Warburg, banker and
former presidential advisor, during a
three-way debate before the Eco
nomic Club declared that the United
States would be forced into any
general war to save its own indus
tries from bankruptcy.
His opponents were Senator Bur-
ton K. Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon
tana and John Foster Dulles, coun-
sci to the American peace delega-
cation at Versailles.
Denying the truth of Mr.. War
burg's contention that American
isolation in case of war would re-
suit first in loss of foreign trade,
then in depression and finally in
q dictatorship, Senator Wheeler
said:
"As long as I am in the Senate
will vote to keep us out of war.
Much as deplore what Hitler and
Mussolini have done, I'm far more
interested in seeing our liberty pre-
served"
Mr.. Dulles, criticizing the admin
istration for appealing to emotion
and not reason" in its diplomatic
messages, said public opinion in
America seemed wholly lacking
either that intellectual content or
that intelligent idealism which
alone would justify the risks which
would be involved Gin war;"

shat SO long as our present men,
tality prevails the best hope for
ourselves and the best hope for the
world resides in our keeping alive,
II we can, within our own borders

Qn an interview, Count Jean
de Beaumont, Independent Radi-
cal member of the French Par
lament, said the best way to in

States to tell Germany she would

Adequate congressional support for
the needs of the District Health
Department was urged today by
Senator Capper of Kansas, ranking
Republican on the District commit
tee and member of the local Appro-
priations Subcommittee.
He made the statement in COM
menting on a letter from Health
Officer George C. Rutland, explain
ing factors entering into Washing
tons death rate from some of the
major causes. The Senator had
written to ask DR.. Ruhland's views
on statistics relating to the Dis
trict, contained in published reports
Of meeting in Kansas, in which the
of the speakers discussed death
rates.
DR.. Rutland said the practice of
comparing the experience of the
country at large with that of a given
community, or of comparing one city
with another, is not a fair basis.
Such vital statistics, he wrote, must
take into consideration environ
mental factors, such as the makeup
OF population by age, sex. racial COM
position, nonresident deaths. etc."
Senator Capper said he believed
DR.. Rutland had stated the facts
fairly, and that the department
should have ample support from
