Show AY THE LEHI SUN, LEW, UTAH News Review of Current Events the World Over Hitler Takes Germany Out of League of Nations and Disarmament Conference Depositors in Closed Banks to Get 50 Per Cent Payment. By EDWARD W. PICKARD " f " -1 . V ;) in -i Ik -4j Chancellor Hitler GETIMANY, feeling that It Is be-1 Ing treated like a second-class nation, startled the world by withdrawing with-drawing from membership In the League or isnuons and from the disarmament dis-armament conference. confer-ence. At first flush this looked rather like a threat of war In the not distant future, but sober consideration of the facts and conditions dissipated most of the fear that armed conflict was near. In the. first place, the German govern ment left the way open for Its return re-turn to the league and conference If properly conciliated by the other nations. More potent yet, perhaps, la the fact that none of the nations Is financially able to support a war at this time. Nor do the people of any of the countries directly In volved wish to go to War. unless It may be the always militaristic Prus sians of the retch. Chancellor Hitler, .having an Rounced Germany's withdrawal, President Von Iilndcnburg Imme diately decreed the dissolution of the rslehatag and proclaimed a gen eral parliamentary election for No vember 12, with a plebiscite at the same time to obtain the nation's approval of the government's de cision. All the state parliaments were dissolved and there will bo no new state elections, so the power pow-er will be centralized In fterlln. Hitler's speech of appeal to the Ceruian people to support bis policy pol-icy was full of ardor and yet was half conciliatory and caused hoped in Great ISritaln and the United States, If not elsewhere, that the relcb might be brought to a reconsideration re-consideration of Its action. The ofllclals of other nations refuse to get excited, and some of them ad mltted privately that Hitler's protest pro-test was Justified, but not his methods. meth-ods. The managers of the disarmament dis-armament conference were nnt-nrally nnt-nrally disconcerted and decided to adjourn until October 25. Some of them were ready to quit indefl nltely, but this move was blocked by Norman II, Davis, the American representative. A little later Mr. Davis received Instructions from the White House and thereupon his position became considerably more detached 1st a statement to the press he fA formed the European nations 'jiat America would gladly co-operae In any disarmament negotiations but was "not Interested In thj political element of any purely European aspect of the picture." In other words, the United States will leave Europe to settle Its own quarrels Id Its own way. Itallao otheluls rather hoped the disarmament negotiations could be continued wltb the framework of the four powet pact, but rrance Indicated she would not consent to this. The British cabinet beard a report re-port from Sir John Simon, foreign minister who had been In violent controversy wltb Baron Von Neu-rath. Neu-rath. foreign minister of Germany and was said to be In a concilia tory mood, though there was no Indication In-dication that it would abandon I" attlude of co-operation with Fiance. Hopes that Germany would come Wk Into the concert of nations by the back door were dashed by Hitler Hit-ler who. In powerful address declared de-clared : "Germany la determined In the future to attend no conference, enter en-ter no league, agree to no convention, conven-tion, and sign nothing as long as she Is not treated equally." rXE billion dollars will be put into circulation speedily when and If the Presidents program for the liquidation of closed national and state banks Is carried out The depositors de-positors will be paid about 50 per cent of their deposits, the money being loaned to the Re-construction Re-construction Finance corporation. corpora-tion. To administer the liquidation a special division of ; A ; the UFC Is set up ' to make-loans to Mn Aeh,M" the several thousands of cloned banks. (1 B Merrlam, a director of tbe HFC is the head of the liquidation board, ami the other members are: J. II. Jones, chairman of the board of Ilcconstructlon Ft nance corporation ; IX G. Arheon,un-derworetary Arheon,un-derworetary of the treasury ; Lewis TV. IkMiglas, director of the budget; J. F. T. O'Connor, controller of the currency, and Walter J. rummlngs. chairman of tbe Deposit Insurance corporation. In general, loans to closed banks will be limited to 50 per cent of de- c ft posits, thus establishing a CO per cent maximum for payment to de positors. Id some cases, where as sets justify, a somewhat larger dis tribution may be possible, but where assets are not worth 50 per cent of deposits the dividend will be less. In some cases, tbe White House statement warned, no dividends divi-dends beyond those already paid will be possible. The division will make loans to closed banks, taking over tbelr assets as-sets as security to the extent of the appraised value of the assets; Thus a closed bank desiring to liquidate will not have to sell Its real estate mortgages and other frown and semi-frozen assets at bankruptcy prices on the open mar ket Instead, these assets can be held for a market more In line with their real value, while depoeltors meanwhile receive as large a proportion pro-portion of their tied up deposits as they would get If they were forced to wait for tbe money. The plan will be applicable only to banks closed after January X, 1933. VIOLATORS of the NRA agreement, agree-ment, thousands of whom bave been reported, are facing Imprisonment Imprison-ment and fines, for the President has Issued an executive order directing di-recting thnt force and prosecution be resorted to by the recovery ad ministration. He proclaims that those who are false to the blue eagle shall be subjected to fines up to $roo or Imprisonment up to six months or both. Senator Robert Wagner of New York, head of the notional labor board, followed this op with a warning to all Industrial groups that heavy fines and Jail sentences are provided in the licensing provisions pro-visions of the recovery act for those who flout the decisions of tbe board and that these penalties will be enforced when necessary, "There will be no escape." he said, "for the misguided minority who arise to Interfere with every constructive construc-tive program." To organized labor, which seems to many to be seeking solely Us own advantage, Wagner said: "The strike should be abandoned aban-doned as an Instrument of first re sort Industry and labor cannot coopcrste by means of the strike. Such .onfilct may determine which of 'e two contestants Is stronger V a given moment but It Is merely accidental If It produces a solution which serves the best Interests of both parties end of the NRAers." WHEN Joseph a Eastman, red eral co-ordinator transports tlon. announced recently that orders or-ders might be placed soon for $30,-000,000 $30,-000,000 In rails the f -" V steel operators were greatly cheered up. But since studying the conditions a n d e r which the orders would be placed some of them are not so happy. O. W McKaig, vice president pres-ident and general manager of sales for the Carnegie company. United States Steel corporation cor-poration subsidiary, Is one of these. He quoted Eastman as saying the order would be placed only If so "expected" reduction In the price of steel materializes. "Such a reduction Is the last thing the operators want,' said Mc-Kalg. Mc-Kalg. "1 think the present "pegged price of 40 a ton Is about right One of the purposes of the NRA Is to assure a reasonable return to the manufacturer. From this observation ob-servation a lower price now would seem to defeat this purpose." Knstman said the order would put thousands of workers back In the nillla. McKalg said the steel manufacturers already have contributed con-tributed an estimated $100,000,000 annually to the NRA In tbe form of Increased salaries.
