CHICAGO. UP).

Hopes of a minority group to revive demands for Immediate payment of the bonua went glimmering, apparently beyond recall, aa the Americans Legion's annual convention met In Its first business session. As the convention busied Itself with child welfare, keeping the legion out of politics and selecting Miami, for next year's gathering, a legislative committee ruled the bonus had no place In the deliberations. Resolutions urging payment of the veterans' adjusted compensation certificates, some of them unqualifiedly and others in the event of currency Inflation, were voted down. The resolutions had been presented to the committee by six states South Dakota, Illinois, Michigan, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Missouri. "The resolutions were voted down," said Harry W.

Colmery, of Topeka, chairman of the commit tee, "because most of the commit tee members and a majority of till legionnaires, believe our biggest problem is rehabilitation of the disabled veterans. Demands for bonus payments, we believe, might Interfere with the rehabilitation program." Congressman Patman of Texas, fighter for payment of the bonus, was its only champion before the committee. Ho indicated he would not attempt to bring the matter to the convention floor.

GREAT BRIll DEBT Spokesmen for Two Coun tries to See What Can Be Done About It. WASHINGTON. UP). Spokesmen for Great Britain and the United States will gather Thursday to see what can beidone. about the British war debt to this government Sir Frederick Lelth-Ross and T.

K. Bewley, representing the London government, will meet Dean Acheson, undersecretary of the treasury, and Dr. Frederick Livesey, assistant economic advisor to the state department, in Acheson's office for a preliminary discussion of the problems involved. Primarily, they will be confronted with the task of reconciling the popular British demand for an end of payments with the view of an American congress openly hostile to cancellation or reduction. The figures before them will show the London government has contracted to pay a total of in semi-annual Installments spread over the next fifty-one years.

A payment of 183 millions falls due in December. The debt arises from loans of before the armistice and 513 millions shortly afterward. Accrued interest ran the total to in the next few years and effective December, 19Z2, tne debt was funded at $4,600,000,000, with the interest and principal payments totalling $11,105,965,000 scheduled lor tne ensuing sixiy-two years. Since then the London government has paid in principal and interest. The unpaid balance totals American officials expect the British to make a lump sum offer, which rumor has placed at about 10 percent of the unpaid principal.

Such a settlement already has been roundly denounced in con gress, which has the final say on the question, regardless of what the representatives of the two governments agree on. Officials have said stabilization of the pound and dollar undoubtedly will figure importantly In their discussions, altho no final conclusions on this point can be reached at this time SEEK FORT PECK RESERVOIR Weaver Heads Committee to See ROosevelt.

The horror of Inflation may not last more than a generation, but while it lasts, like the horror of war, it brings a powerful reaction. Napoleon Bonaparte saw enough of inflation In the terrible years 1790-1796 to convince him of its fallacious and dangerous nature. When he took the consulship, conditions weie appalling.

The government was bankrupt, the troops were unpaid, and further collection of taxes appeared impossible. Nevertheless, when asked at his first cabinet meeting what he Intended to do. Napoleon replied: "I will pay cash or nothing!" And he carried out that promise to the let ter. "While 1 live," he declared when he was hard pressed on another occasion, "1 will never resort to irredeemable paper." And in 1810, indicating that there had been no diminution of his hatred for this specious device, he wrote to his prefects: "The emperor considers paper money the greatest curse of nations, as fatal to their morale as the plague is to their physical well being." There is a similar note in the pronouncements of German statesmen today a decade after the collapse "of the mark. "Much has been written ahout the gold standard, gold parity, and gold coverage," said Dr.

Hialmar Schacht. German reichsbank president and spokesman for the new financial order, recently, "I want to express clear fit 4 i A a ITINERANTS To -Arbitrate Disagreement on New Wage Scale.

Campaign officials said Wednes day afternoon that nationwide re lief experience has revealed that thousands of responsible citizens in communities all over the country as well as in Lincoln are being misled by propaganda spread by communists and other radical or ganizations In order to destroy relief and increase the cost of the relief burden. Communism has made little headway in Lincoln and is gener ally discredited by thinking people, the campaign leaders said, but many intelligent persons have been Jed astray by radical elements, hot rtaiizmr where the propaganda is originating.

The public should know that the reichsbank is unswervingly on guard to preserve to the working and German people what they have saved." In Its origins the German Inflation was dissimilar from the French assignat inflation -of 1790-1796, but the results were, as they necessarily must have been, much the same.

The debauch of the na tion's currency not only resulted in despoiling the middle class, but it tnrew the whole economic machinery out of balance by interfer ing with saving, and by destroy ing capital. For a time the "flight from the mark the frenzied efforts of everyone to get rid of currency before, it depreciate further created a sort of madhouse form of business activity. But as the rate of deterioration of the mark pro gressed, money, as always hap pens, seemed to be becoming scarcer and scarcer, and the suf ferings of the workers and persons of relatively fixed incomes Increased.

While the mayor and district at torney started official investiga tions, Coroner Nance announced that an Inquest will be held next Wednesday.

Fire Chief Scott blamed the tragedy on the fact that men Inexperienced with forest fires were sent to quell the pane blaze. "Had there been anyone there with experience In fighting brush fires," he said, "or any experienced fireman, the men who dropped their work on the road grades to battle the blaze would have been ordered to safety. The men who first saw the fire were deceived because It appeared to them to be small. Little they knew how fast dry brush can spread a fire."

BRUSH PARK A IN RELIEF WORK Harder Part Still Ahead and the Government Cannot Do It All. Text of the president's New York addresies It on Page 2. NEW YORK. UP). Before the na tional conference of Catholic char- ities.

President Roosevelt praised the nation for its relief efforts and called state, city, church and private institutions to redouble the efforts for the "harder part ahead." The president who re ceived a cheering reception, was applauded heartily by the crowd in the auditorium of the hotel as he asserted: "We have ventured and we have won; we shall venture further and we shall win again." Mr, Roosevelt was surrounded on the platform by high church dignitaries and prominent men of New York City, including Alfred E. Smith and Mayor O'Brien. Mr. Smith slapped the president on his shoulder as the latter passed him walking to his seat. Smiling, Mr.

Roosevelt whispered in Smith ear as he passed. Again Mr. Roosevelt was inter rupted with lusty applause as he remarked: "Leadership i nave tried to give, but the great and most important fact has been the response the wholehearted e-sponse of America." "This is the time when you and 1 know," he said, "that tho we have proceeded a portion of the way, the longer, harder part still lies ahead, and that it is for us to redouble our efforts to care for those who must still depend upon relief, to prevent the disintegration of home life, and to stand by the victims of the depression until it is definitely passed. "The federal government has inaugurated new measures of relief on -a -vast scale, but the federal government cannot, and does not intend, to take over the whole Job. Many times 1 have Insisted that every community and every state must first do their share." Mr.

Roosevelt made no reference to recovery policies, except to say that the revival of Industry and agriculture "call for a willingness to sacrifice individual gains, to work together for the public welfare and for the success of a broad. aUanal program, of recov--. ery." "You who have participated In the actual day-to-day work of practical and useful charity understand well that no program ot recovery can suddenly restore all our people to selfsupport," he warned. "The spirit of our people has not been daunted. It has come thru the trials of these days unafraid.

We have ventured and we have won; we shall venture further and we shall win. The traditions of a great people have been enriched. I can never express in words what the loyalty and trust of the nation have meant to me. Not for a moment have 1 doubted that we would climb out of the valley of gloom. Always 1 have been certain that we would conquer, because the spirit of Amer-lea springs from faith faith In the beloved institutions of our land, and a true and abiding faith in the divine guidance of God." Mr.

Roosevelt opened his address with the statement: "In the midst of material things in the machine age of invention, of finance, of international suspicion and renewed armament everyone of us must gain satisfaction and strength In the knowledge that social justice is becoming an ever growing factor and Influence in almost every part of the world. With every passing year I become more confident that humanity is moving forward to the practical application of the teachings of Christianity as they affect the Individual lives of men and women." Cardinal Hayes, who sat beside the president on the speaker's platform, followed the chief executive with a brief address to which Mr. Roosevelt listened before departing for a special train to carry him back to Washington. The president and his party entered the hall nearly two hours before he delivered his address. Mr.

Roosevelt was escorted by his military aide, Col. Edwin Watson. (Continued on Page 4, Col. 2.) DENY PLOT TTJJAR ACTOR Alice White and Fiance Disdain) Story of Pair. HOLLYWOOD.

Roberts quoted Mrs. Kelly as saying she would file suit to prevent the $15,000 reward, of fered for capture of her. and her husband, from being paid to "any one else." This was interpreted aa meaning she would claim the reward on the ground she had been planning to surrender before off! cers surrounded the home of Kel ly's brother in law by his first marriage, Langford Ramsey, in Memphis last week and captured the fugitive. Ramsey also was taken Into custody.

New evidence was being checked by Val Zimmer, department agent at Denver, with Washington and Oklahoma City federal authorities which they Say may identify Ram sey, a Memphis attorney, as the "master mind in the Urschel abduction.
