Europe Awaits Action By
Hitler; Conflict Between
Nations May Be Avoided
Speech Bearing On Situa-
ton To Be Delivered By
Feuhrer On Sunday
Morning
tBy Associated Pressl

(liy Associated PressB
LONDON. Aug. 2S.-An anx-
ious Europe awaited action by
Adolf Hitler, who. up to press
time today. had not indicated
just what course he would fol-
low in answer to several ap.
proaches made by disnitaries OF
foreign countries and the presi-
dent of the United States
Late yesterday. President F. D.
Roosevelt added TO his effort 10
prevent war by communicating
directly with Hitler in a note that
pleaded for mediation of the diff
iieulties that threatened war.
Pope Plus. XII, addressed a
strong message. pleading for
peace, late yesterday afternoon.
and other countries are reported
to have sent communications to
the feuhrer.
Hitler, as if studying every
angle of his future policy, is re-
ported to be in lengthy confer
ences with his governmental
heads. The pause is Interpreted
by some suthoritie$lias, a hopeful
sign. 3sH Ela!
! Earlier in theh week, it was
thought that immediate confirma-
ton of the alliance consumation
with Russia would bring on an
aggressive move against Poland.
That the move mas not actually
started is good sign, it is point
ed out, and brings added hope
to many that war may yet be
averted.
1t is generally thought now
that no untoward incident will
occur for the next day or two,
but that a showdown may be
brought on following the much
heralded speech to be made by
Chancellor Hitler at the Tannen-
berg celebration in East Prussia
next Sunday morning.
Authorities in Berlin state that
Hitler may choose to entirely
ignore Chamberlain's and Roose-
velt's suggestion to bring the
Polish situation into conference.
The German press is running
stories confidently expecting a
quick move into Polish territory
with seizure of Danzig and the
Polish corridor following. The
stories express the opinion that
England and France will not
fight.
Italy, much alarmed by the
turn of affairs, has called more
men to arms. So, too has Poland,
which is reported now to be at
full strength of more than l.
100000 men.
-.
British effort for defensive
measures include the sending of
more ships to Gibraltar and a
Tightening of preparations
against air raids. A sidelight on
the 'black outs ordered nightly
for all of England. is that the
price of black cloth used to cover
windows in homes and offices,
has sky-rocketed in price.
Both British and French diplo-
mats are in hourly contact, and
the declaration has been made,
unofficially, that both nations
win not accept Hitler's apparent
one-sided demands in connection
with the present situation.
First hint of Hitler's answer to
President Roosevelt may be con-
tanned in German press dis
patches late today. Italian news
papers ridiculed the Presidents
message to King Victor EN-
manuel, stating. chiefly, that The

DETROIT, June Military avia-
ton and marine motors are soon to
be produced by two local automobile
plants, reports Rupert LeGrand, De-
troit editor of American Machinist
A prominent car maker has been
developing an aviation engine, ac-
cording to persistent rumors, and
has been awarded a Government
contract. 1t is reported to have
placed equipment orders in various
tool centers on the basis of this
contract. In addition, Graham
Paige is understood to be estimating
on $50 engines for a foreign govern
ment.
The War Department recently
ordered 300 Allison engines for pur-
suit ships. Cadillac, 1t is learned,
will make the connecting rod, cam
shaft and crankshaft Of the Allison
engine.
Graham-Paige's project should be
worth about $1,000 900. judging from
the size Of the contemplated order
and the specifications of the engines.
Considerable tooling-up will be in
volved, and no doubt this is figured
into the initial contract.
A contract is expected in couple
Of weeks. Meanwhile estimates are
being obtained from various sup
pliers for important engine COM
ponents. Graham-Paige will also
buy considerable equipment for use
in machining some Of the parts.

May Bookings Good.

NEW YORK, June l (SpeciaD -
Machine tool bookings in May were
substantial, thanks partly to a rising
volume of diversified domestic busi-
ness. The disparity in sales and pro-
duction between individual companies
however is growing. Some builders
are very busy. while others have little
work on hand The outlook is be-
clouded. Many prospective buyers
are hesitant to make capital outlays
for equipment until Government
policies involving industry are more
friendly. The indicated revision of
taxes by Congress will be helpful in
that respect. The machine tool
people are less dependent than they
were on foreign business, which now
accounts for about 40 per cent Of
the total. compared with So per cent
during 1888. A considerable volume
Of machinery orders is coming from
aircraft and allied industries, as well
as from direct Government sources.
Sales to foreign users are expected
to stay close to current levels during
the weeks Immediately ahead.

Interest Rate Cut
Seen By Wagner
Under Mead Bill
Insurance to SmoII
Business Would Aid
All Borrowers, He Says
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, OF
New York predicted today that Gov
ernment insurance Of bank loans
to small businesses and industries
would sharply reduce interest rates
for many borrowers.
Senator Wagner is chairman of
the Senate Banking Committee,
which invited Jerome Frank, new
head Of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, to testify today on
legislation authorizing insurance of
the small business loans.
Senator Mead, Democrat, of New
York, author Of the bill, told re-
porters Supreme Court Justice Will
liam o. Douglas, whom Mr.. Frank
succeeded as S. E. c. chairman, had
been one of the original sponsors
Of the idea.
Sees Loan Rates Cut.
Senator Wagner said Federal in
surance would cut loan rates, after
Representative Allen, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania told the committee
yesterday that banks could not
make the long-term loans required
by small firms and that other finan-
cial agencies charged from Is to ID
per cent interest.
Banks have in some instances re-
fused to make these loans to busi-
ness" Senator Wagner said, "and
then made funds available to finance
companies at 2 and 3 per cent,
which in turn charged Is to 1o per
cent"
Senator Wagner said Government
financing in other fields had greatly
reduced interest charges and spurred
investment.
THE Home Owners Loan Corp.
cleaned up the whole situation, so
there is not any 20 and 80 per cent
interest charged on second and third
mortgages" he said.
Similarly, he said, the Federal
Housing Administration had re-
duced rates down to 4 per cent in
many instances" by insuring private
housing mortgages.
Senator Wagner said the F. H. A.
mas broken the jam and money is
going into construction at a very
satisfactory rate"
The Mead bill would authorize the
r. F. c. to insure 80 per cent of
loans up to 81 900 900. Interest rates
would be held to per cent, with re-
payment in from l to 10 years.
Government insurance of these
loans, Senator Mead said, would pro-
vide the little fellow with credit IA
cilities equal to those enjoyed by
his bigger brothers"
Joining Senator Mead in his plea
were Senator Pepper. Democrat, of
Florida and Representatives Allen
and Jeffries, Republican, of New Jer-
sey, all of whom have introduced
similar legislation.

Pennsylvania Asks
Part in Reforming
OF New Haven
Chicago & Northwestern
Objects to Walsh Plan
For Reorganization
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Co.
which owns 3l9,925 shares of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroads common stock, asked to-
day that reasonable participation"
be allowed common stockholders in
reorganization of the New Haven,
pending before the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Meanwhile the Chicago & North
western Railway objected today to a
reorganization plan proposed by Ex-
aminer J. V. Walsh.
Mr.. Walsh proposed a total capi-
talization of $449, ,998,270. Unsecured
creditors would receive no par value
common stock equal to ga per cent
of their claims and preferred and
common stockholders would receive
nothing.
The Amended Plan.
The New Haven amended plan of
reorganization provides that pres
ent common stockholders receive
nothing for their holdings.
The Mutual Savings Bank Group
Committee asked that definite pro-
vision be made for inclusion of the
Old Colony and the Boston & Provi-
dence in the reorganized New Haven
Co.
The committee said the New Ha-
ven fails to offer any constructive
suggestion" for the Old Colony, and
makes no provision for including the
Boston & Providence in the reor-
ganized company.
Supplement Is Filed.
The New Haven filed supple
ment to its amended plan to provide
for the acquisition of the properties
of the Providence, Warren & Bris-
tol. This line would be used for
freight only, its charter having been
amended to relieve it of all obllga-
ton to operate passenger service.
Under the proposal. the New Ha-
ven would acquire the Providence,
Warren & Bristol properties in ex-
change for its obligations to the
New Haven, now estimated at $685.
900.
In a brief field with the I. c. c.
today, the Chicago & Northwestern
said Mr.. Walsh gave undue weight
to the unprecedented low earnings
of the debtor during the depression
period, 1881 to 1888"
The proposed capitalization is
based upon the presumption that the
impaired earning power of depres-
sion years have become fixed and
permanent for all future years." the
brief said.
The Chicago & Northwestern said
its proposed capitalization of $468,-
100000 was conservative.

76 Toxes 1oke
Cream OF Milk
BY ALFRED c. FRODEL,
Tax Attorney and Consultant.
Article 4,

About 76 different taxes are levied
against the farmers and handlers OF
quart Of milk before it reaches
you and these taxes are paid by
you because they are included in
the price of milk.
At least 20 per cent, or one-fifth,
Of the price Of milk (Which about
equals the cream on your milk goes
to the Federal, State, city and county
tax collectors; in other words, the
politicians take the cream.
The passage OF new tax laws and
increasing the tax rates of existing
tax laws shows an increase of taxes
paid by one Of the large dairies OF
over so per cent more taxes in 1887
than paid in 1884. This means OF
every dollar of tax paid in 1884 the
tax collectors took one dollar and
half in 1887.
The farmer and distributors OF
milk are making less money because
the politicians each year take more
in taxes and because of taxes many
people are not able to buy all the
milk they need.
