Dutch Censors Outflow
Phone Call Whistling

AMSTERDAM Correspondence Of the
Associated Press In Holland you are
not allowed to whistle or hum your IA
vorite tune over the telephone. You also
are forbidden to make strange sounds
which appear to have no meaning.
This is the ruling of the Dutch mill
tary censor, who has banned what ne
describes as calls without content
that is, calls whose contents are not
comprehensive.
The general rule for telephoning is
that only Dutch. English, German and
French may be spoken on domestic and
international lines. Special provision
has been made, however, to permit the
use of Italian in conversations with Italy
and Spanish in radio-telephone traffic
with South America.
Malayan and Javanese also are allowed
during fixed hours, not more than three
q day.
Calls are listened to by censors and
may be cut off without warning or indi-
cation of reason, but so far newspaper
correspondents have had no difficulty in
telephoning.
Gable censorship follows similar rules.
Contents must be comprehensive and
not against public order or state inter-
ests. Gables may be sent in Dutch, Eng
lish, German or French, or in any other
language if accompanied by translations.
Only recognized international codes are
allowed.
Some correspondents have had cables
stopped by the censors, but there has
been no serious difficulty. Stories about
Hollands defenses are the ones watched
most carefully.
Dutch authorities are anxious not to
impair the cable service to America,
which now is one of the fastest in Eu-
rope. The, cable companies have lost
much Of the commercial business they
had before the war, but this loss has
been more than made up by the great
increase In press messages.

He had lived the life of Riley, "about as
fortunate young man as I imagine
there could be-" having mo considera-
ton for other peoples troubles"
AS child, he had attended fashion
able Fay School in Southboro, Mass
Later, he went to Lawrenceville, and
then, after the death of his father and
his mothers marriage to Stotesbury, he
studied at the University of Pennsyl-
vania's Wharton School in anticipation
of following the Stotesbury footsteps into
partnership in Drexel & Co. At home,
he gravitated into the Stotesbury's ex-
tensive social life on Philadelphia's top
crust.
The collapse of Peerless jolted him
out of complacency for the first time in
his life.
Thinking Changed With Study.
So he took the leisure time his wealth
afforded him, and devoted it to study of
economics and government. He read
endless books, beginning with Paul
Douglas on unemployment. BY 1888, his
thoughts had crystallized sufficiently for
him to set them down in book of his
own, "The Voice of Young America" The
next year he wrote a pamphlet called
what Is Sound Money!" and in 1885
another pamphlet, "The Lions Share"
Mrs. Cromwell supports her husband
enthusiastically in his endeavor to
achieve social change through politics.
She gave $4,000 to the National Demo-
cratic Committee for the 1896 reelection
campaign of President Roosevelt, and
$4,000 to the New Jersey State Commit
tee in 1887. He says he never has given
a cent in campaign contributions.
He has, however, given intense per-
sonal loyalty to President Roosevelt,
whom he lauds for showing the country
that the devil il-take-the-hind atti-
tude is a thing of the past" He has
been active in the Democratic party
since 1928, when Al Smiths campaign
against prohibition caught his favor Up
to then, he had been Republican, in the
Stotesbury tradition. He first met the
President during the World War when
Mr.. Roosevelt was Assistant Secretary
of the Navy and Mr.. Cromwell was a
captain in the naval service. He backed
the New Deal from the start. And, you
can take his word for 1t:
I'm q good Democrat now"

that's the limb where the apples ought

Would Abolish Income Taxes.
Take, for example, his theory of taxa
ton.
Mr.. Cromwell is rich man. He is a
step-son of the late Edward T. Stotes-
bury of Philadelphia, who once headed
the House of Morgan and was for years
treasurer of the national Republican
party. The number of the Cromwell
mate, but there are enough that he
needn't work for the rest of his life.
His wife is the tobacco heiress, Doris
Duke, known as "the richest girl in the
world" since her father died in 1925 and
left her trust fund then estimated at
$53,OOOOOO
'I realize full WELL" he has said, "that
man in my position who pleads for
lower taxes on the rich is inviting
shower OF bronx cneerS.
So what does he do? He advocates
lower taxes on the rich.
Do away with all income taxes, he
says, arguing that income taxes long
since have passed the point of diminish
ing returns and that their repeal would
free capital that would be invested to
employ labor now idle. This increased
employment would increase purchasing
power, which would buy more goods,
which would create new demand at the
factories, which would employ more
people and so on all over again.
Would Synchronize Money and Goods.
To keep the economic cycle moving
once it got started, he advocates strict
Government control over money so it
may be "synchronized with the flow Of
goods"
This theory is virtual religion with

lieves it is the panacea for the worlds
economic ills. He is convinced it will

go with it, to tell people who see 1t
what they can do about it.
On the theory that politics was the
best path to his objective he had eyed
the United States senatorship from New
Jersey, where he and his wife maintain
their 2,400-acre Somerville estate with
30-room house in which they can
swim, play tennis, shoot or watch
movie without going outdoors. But be-
