Hoover Debt Propesal Is Held
“Yulgar Patchwork” Today By
World Famed Finance Expert
presidents Debt Plan Only
Temporary, Says Dr.
GCideonse Here
INSTITUTE SPEAKER
RAPS G.O.P. TARIFF
Ridicules Press Claim
That Debt Plan is
“‘Statesmanship”’
President Hoover’s internation
al debt-paying holiday was char
acterized as “vulgar patchwork”
by Dr. Harry D. Gideonse, econo
mist of the University of Chicago
in an address on reparations de
livered today at the University of
(eorgia institute of public affairs.
Dr. (ideonse, a recognized au
thority on_ international finance,
said: “We salute the present step
as a desirable indication that light
is breaking through,” at Wash
ington. “However, it (the Hoover
proposal) will remain vulgar
patchwork if it remains isolated
and is not followed up by a broad
comprehengive policy of interna
tional cooperation. Without such
2 policy, more patchwork of the
same type will be required in an-‘
other year or so.”
Aided Depression.
Addressing the institute last
night on gold and silver and the
world depressiaon, Dr. Gideonse
charged that the Hoover adminis
tration’s policy toward the League
of Nations and International Bank‘
settlements iz inimical to capital
ism, inasmuch as capitalism is
hased on international interdepen
dence. 2
Dr. Gideonse charged today that
“the present depression is in no
small measure due to speculation
cncouraged by Washington.”
Referring to the Hoover plan to
declare a one-year moratorium of
2l inter-governmental debts, Dr.
Gideonse said that “we are of
course grateful that even a ra{i
of light has ga;llen into the dar!
chambers of Washington econom
ics, that most of us feel loath to
he eritical. Still it should be said,
and be said loudly, that this patch-‘
work even if it may have an im
mediately beneficial result.” ,‘
Debt Reduction.
Dr. Gideonse expressed #%he
opinion tkat the United States
stands to gain by a sharp reduc
tion of its debts claims, “Or eco
nomic interest in the stability and
prosperity of our European mar
ket far surpasses the siomificance
of the budget receipts due to our
present debt funding agreements.”
The economist said that “our
attitude seems to be inclined to
wards a definite linking of disar
mament and the revision of thel
financial settlements,” but main
tained that “we are second to
none in the rate of increase of
armaments.” He said that the
United States should “match in
our budgetary reductions of arma
ment expenditures any reductions
which we may succeed in obtain

Hcover Plan Seems
Wise Suggestion,
Cong. Brand Says
ATLANTA—(®P)—Georgia’s two
Democratic senators and four of
her twelve congressmen, were on
record today regarding President
Hecover’s one-year war debt mor
atoritnm,
Senator Walter F. George,
speaking at a Rotary luncheon at
Brunswick yesterday, said the
proposed plan can have little ef
fect on the present world depres
sion and could not be of major
importance in the short period of
one year.
. Senator George decilned to def
initely commit himself but said
he did not believe it would prove
a big relief measure,
Senator William J, Harris at
Washington, said: @ e

Mayor Still Attacking
Enforcement of Dry
Laws of Nation
ATLANTA —{AP)— Back at
his office in the eity hall todgy
after a tour of France with a
group of American mayors who
were guests of the French govern
ment, Mayor James L. Key faced
a recall movement and reiterated
that prohibition is a “failure.”
The eriticism that he voiced in‘
Paris of prohibition in his home
land started the circulation of a
petition for his recall as well as‘
arousing many protests from
preachers and others, but he wns‘
welcomed home last night with a
huge parade that his friends esti
mated as including 75,000 persons.
While the parade was forming
George Finch, attorney, issued a
statement saying that 3,000 vot
cers had already signed the recail
petition. Approximately . 6,000
signatures are necessary for a re
call election.
No Comment
Mayor Key made no comment
on the recall campaign, but reveal
d that before going to France he
had investigated prohibition en
forcement in New York by taking
| his 18-year-old daughter, Ruth, to
a cpeakeasy.
“I wanted her to see prohibition
in the United States,” he said.
I “The worst part of it is that they
{ sold the yiquor to &n 18-year-old
] schoolgirl and myself without ask
|ing any questions. We didn’t
jdrmk the stuff, and they offered
i to return our money, which I re-
fused, but the thought of selling
liquor to a schoolgirl in violation
of every principle of government,
should set some people to thinking.
“I was told by a prominent man
there were 65,000 of such places
in New York alone. Does anyone
think there could be that many
places where vile liquor ig vendeg
in one American city if the law
was not a failure? I say no.”

Pair Over Ocean At Present
HILLIG AMD HOIRIfS
TAKE OFF ON OGEAN
FLIGHT EARLY TODAY
Copenhagen Destination
As Airmen Leave Harbor
Grace For Continent
HARBOR GRACE, N. F.—(AP)
—Otto Hillig and Holger Hoiriis
took off shortly after daybreak to
day on their trans-Atlantic “joy
ride” to Copenhagen, Denmark.
Their monoplane, the Liberty,
roared down the flying field run
way at 5:54 a. m. Newfoundland
summer time (3:24 a. m, Eastern
standard time), swept gracefully
into the air on a brisk west wind,
and headed into the rising sun. ,
The fliers had arrived at the
airport 25 minutes before the
take-off. Both seemed confident
and Hillig had apparently suffers
ed no ill effects from a cold he
contracted yestgrday while aiding!
the crew of the Winnie Mae which‘
preceded the Liberty across the
ocean. ‘
Everything finally packed safe
lv in the monoplane’s cabin, the
two climbed aboard, and leaning
cut a window, waved a &erry
farewell to the small crowd of by
standers, 3 o
“Don’t let that wind die dewn,”
was Hillig’s parting shot.
Hoiriis, at the controls, smiled,
g}l{ye her the gun, and they were
Olt.
They had 3150 miles to travel
before reaching Copenhagen, and
they expected to make the hop in
28 hours. Their monoplane car
ried 605 gallons of ?mline and
20 gallons of oil, sufficient fuel
for 36 to 40 flying hours.
Sufficient Food.
A gallon of water, a dozen
oranges, coffee and bread—
“ Plenty to last us ’'till we get
there”—comprised their provis
ions.
The weather was auspicious,
The last report they saw gave
them clear skies on both sides of
the Atlantic and reported a di
minishing storm in mid-ocean.
It was the third leg of their
flight to Denmark. They made an
800-mile flight from Teterboro, N.
J.,, to St, John, New Brunswick,
last Friday to complete the first
leg. The second leg, from St
John to Harbor Grace, was com
pleted Monday. 2
Hillig, owner of the monoplane,
is a Liberty, N. Y., photegraphet
and his ship bears the name of his
“home town.” His home was
Germany before coming to +the
United States 40 years ago, and
he hoped to fly over the Father
land after reaching Copenhagen
Hoiriis, the pilot of the expedi
tion, which the two refer to con
stantly as a “joy ride,” emigrated
from Copenhagen seven years ago.
Yesterday, as Wiley Post and
Harold Gatty, prepared their Win
nie Mae for a flight to Berlin, the
pair ‘“‘turned to” and gave them
a hand. They wished Gatty and
Post good luck as the Berlin-bound
{liers took off and turnmed to the
task of preparing their own
plane,
Today they were out over the
Atlantic before their Harbor Grace
co-fliers had reached the safety of
the ocean’s eastern shores. w
