Asks Geneva Conference to Limit Caliber of Mobile Guns and to Abolish All Tanks. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, Switzerland, May 2. Germany proposed to the World Disarmament Conference today that the British arms plan be amended to provide a maximum caliber of 105 millimeters about four inches) for mobile guns and to abolish all tanks.

Explaining this proposal, Count Rudolf Nadolny, German delegate, in a statement to the Associated Press, said that if the German proposals were rejected Germany should be entitled in principle to possess all land, naval and air armaments which other countries assert are necessary for their na- tional defense. If military aviation were not abolished, he said, Germany would naturally want military airplanes, which are now forbidden by tho Treaty of Versailles. If submarines were not eventually abolished, he said, Germany; -must consider whether submarines. likewise forbidden to her, were not necessary to assure national safety. Nadolny denied that his policy at Geneva had been altered by the advent of Chancellor Hitler, saying' that it represented the will of the German people and successive governments.

Germany won a victory in the conference yesterday when the Committee on Armies voted not to regard Chancellor Hitler's Storm Troopers, now a part of the auxiliary police, as a military organization. The British arms plan, presented by Prime Minister Ramsay Mac-Donald March 16, provided for ait army of 200,000 men for Germany. This doubled the maximum set by the treaty of Versailles. The Mac-Donald proposal also provided for a homeland army of 200,000 for France, plus an overseas force of 200,000. In yesterday's vote on the Storm Troop question, the United States upheld the German view.

In the opposition were France, Poland, Czecho-Slovakla. Jugo-Slavla, Ru-j. mania and Spain. F. A.

By the Associated Press. SAN DIEGO, May 2. A new deep in the bed of the ocean is reported in a message from the U. S. S.

Ramapo to Eleventh Naval District headquarters here. "pt. C. B. Mayo, commanding the naval oil tanker, reported that, by repeated use of the sonic depth finder, the deep had been measured at 5501 fathoms, or 33,006 feet.

It was found, the message said, at latitude 30-43 north, longitude 142-28 east, which would place it directly across the Pacific Ocean from San Dieero. near Japan. The Ramapo is en route here from Manila. Capt. Mayo is a leader in the work oi charting the ocean '-ottom.

That's why capitalism is failing.

"Capitalism is a system under which a few people own the means of production, have many other people working for them, pay them this much, charge that much for their goods. The difference between this much and that much is profit, and it is profit that causes this depression. "As long as we have capitalism, business men will attempt to make a profit, and as long as people are paid less than the value of their labor, we are going to find it impossible to -consume our products. "Blunder-Along Attitude." On the "blunder-along" attitude that other depressions have been survived "somehow," and this may be, he commented, the attitude seemed to be, "if the workers only Etarve quietly and peaceably and long enough, well get out of it." He added that the forces which had led us out of other depressions no longer operated. In 1921 and earlier business men had a place to spend money after they had spent all they could on themselves and their own business In reinvestment, the development of new resources.

But today the basic industries were over-capitalized, even to new Indus tries like radios and automobiles. "In other words, capitalism has outlived its usefulness," he said. "The very thing that made it useful in solving the problem of pro duction makes it useless to solve the problem of 'onsuming what it can produce. The only solution for that is to change profit into a system of 'production for use that we call "Under that system we would col lectively own the means of produc tion. When we produced in goods we would pay ourselves $90,000,000,000 in wages.

Under Socialism, new machines would mean not labor thrown out but simply a reduced work day, and as machines came in and hours declined, incomes would be on the rise instead of falling." an, 0 man, try Barbasol Blades FOR years youVe been ask ing why somebody doesn't make a really fine safety razor blade. At last, sir, your prayers have been answered. BARBASOL has gone to the oldest steel manufacturer in America, a maker of surgical instruments and tools of precision. "Make us a razor blade," we said, "that will hold its temper and cut like a scalpel." A lot of you won't believe it, but weVe got it. BARBASOL BLADES are only made for the three-post razor, because we're convinced that's the best kind of razor ever made, and a three-hole blade is the truest, sharpest blade.

Hapgood, student and athlete of the Harvard class of 1920 who at 32 has run for Governor of Indiana, supported his wife on $8 a week and less in mines of this and other countries, and got himself denounced by union leaders as a "Communist," remarked that Fascism was the logical step if one believed capitalism could be patched up. "If I wanted to prolong capital ism, I'd be a Fascist," he said. "It would be the only thing to do.

Be cause I do not, I'm a Socialist." Touching on tendencies sugges-ti of economic Fascism, he com mented, "The Socialist party is the only really democratic party." He disposed of inflation with the remark, "Only we Socialists and one or two other working class parties are frank enough to admit that, no matter what kind of currency we have, we'll still have depression as long as we have capitalism." Even the business men were talking about high wages now, he observed, since each realized that if every other business man paid high wages, the workers could buy his products. "But," he added, "they won't accept our fundamental tenet. that under capitalism, we can never buy back what we produce." He told of monkeys on an island, "a happy, bunch of monkeys" until, with a bumper crop of coconuts, they gave up all idea of consuming it and lay down and starved to death. Communists and Socialists. "You don't' believe that story," he continued.

"Instinctively you give monkeys more sense. But here we are doing it. It's time to prove whether we're evolving up or down." Replying to a question, he pointed out that, in practical politics, the difference between Communist and Socialist is that the Socialist party Is attempting to prepare to meet the collapse of capitalism in orderly fashion, while the Communist groups, as they say, "know" that the transition cannot occur without violence. "The change is inevitable," he said. "The question is, how it will come, whether the world is just as stupid, just as cruel, as wnen feudalism outlived its usefulness and capitalism took its place only 200 years ago.

"Only the Socialist party, the working people who realize that the change must come, can make the difference. And unless we organize fast, the system may collapse before we are prepared to make the change in the way we want it to come." Root of Economic Evil. Getting at profits as the root of all economic evil, he pointed out that the depression did not begin in October, 1929. "The falling of paper values on the stock exchanges had little to do with it," he said. "In that year we had produced 90,000,000,000 of goods, aud let this happen to you President Begins Economic "Conversations in Executive Offices With Tomas Le Breton and Experts.
