REPORT8 OF ESTABLISHING RE
PUBLIC CHARACTERIZED AS
REDICULOUS
BUCHAREST, Rumania, Nov. 21.
(#>)—Leaving a sickbed to receive
the Associated Press correspondent,
Premier Brattiannu characterized as
ridiculous and fantastic the recent
report that he intends to establish
a republic in Rumania.
"The Liberal party,” he said, "has
affirmed constantly that Rumania
can prosper and develop only with
a hereditary monarchy which is the
foundation of its constitution. The
monarchy must be kept aloft from
political dissension. It is sheer non
sense to refer to me as a dictator
for I did not come into power by
force but at the wish of the man
whose competence has never been!
questioned —'King Ferdinand— w h o !
realizing he was dying, believed the
government would be safer in my
hands than in any other.”
The Premier, who has been ill of
influenza for the last three weeks,
flatly denied reports he is threat
ening to establish a republic if
Queen Maire attempted to go to Par
is to see her son Prince Carol. “The
Queen is too noble a woman to at
tempt to upset the existing dynastic
order,” he stated. When asked if
he would allow Prince Carol to re
turn, either as a member of the Re
gency or as king, provided the Ru
manian people desired it, the Prem
ier answered "it does not depend on,
my will or that of any person. The
constitution expressly prohibits any
modification of its text during the
minority of the present sovereign.”

NEW YORK, Nov. 21 (/P)—Bern
stein, the editor who withdrew his
$200,000 libel suit against Henry Ford
after the latter apologized for anti-<
Jewish articles, made public an in-j
terview with him in which Ford dis-1
cussed a wide variety of subjects, j
Ford believes airplanes, carrying
200 passengers, will be in general;
use in five to ten years; he fears
the World War was not the last ftfr
he forsees the rise of Russia and j
China through work; he praised
Jewish enterprise and said that the j
Jews deserve much credit because
they spur others to work harder, j
Ford spoke rightly of Herbert Hoov
er, describing him as a man of ex
traordinary ^obstructive achievement'
and believed he would make an ideal'
president. Unemployment and idle
ness breed wars and revolutions, the
manufacturer told Bernstein, in urg
ing hard work ?.s the agent for peace
and progress, terming work “the only
salvation of the world.”

amples of a nation getting on its
feet again after a dreadful catastro
phe,*' Ford said, and “I believe Rus
sia will come into her own and China
also will readjust herself.” He said
American prosperity will continue to
grow greater and greater.
CALL8 FOR REDUCTION OF GEAR
AND ELIMINATION OF 120
TRAPS
SEATTLE, Not. 21. (JP)—A commit*,
tee representing Alaska canners pre
sented to Henry O’Malley, U, S. Fish
eries Commissioneer, a plan calling
for reduction of fishing gear in South
eastern Alaska. The plan is to elim
inate approximately 120 of 544 traps
which were in operation this year.
Drastic steps are necessary, O’Mal
ley believes, if -the industry is to es
cape destruction. O’Malley, in taking
the proposal under advisement, said
new regulations will be issued in De-,
cember. The packers plan provides
extension of areas in which trap op
erations have been prohibited
At the' same time, O'Malley said, the
proposal apparently extends a score
of seine fishing by allowing seiners to
operate in areas in which traps were
prohibited. “Independent trap owners
may protest against the cannerymen’s
plan on the ground it will eliminate
more independent (traps than the traps
belonging to canneries but the com
mittee assured me that the plan has
attempted to take care of independent
traps The situation may cause many
! independent traps to be eliminated’’.
“The submission of the plan follow
ed my statement last September that
there would have to be a drastic de
duction in fishing gear in Southeast
ern Alaska next year and I would be
willing to consider any proposals the
industry wished 'to submit. My plan,
as then announced, was bar all traps
in the bays and estuaries in South
eastern Alaska and in many instances
remove traps and opeeration off points
where a ffsh run could be intercepted.
The plan presented by the committee
apparently did not do go quite this
far.” The committee, which repre
i sented the cannery plan, included H.
B. Friele, of the Nakat Packing Co.;
! August Bushman, of the Deep Sea
Fisheries; Charles Buckhart, and John
Gilbert of the Alaska Consolidated; E.
Shenwall, of the Petersburg Packing
Co.; and Gilbert Skinner of the Sunny
! Point.

newspapers, In the eight of a series of
articles copyrighted by the Washing
tn Herald, says Mexican money for
propagation of Russia’s Red doctrine
was spent by President Calles, not

America and also in China.
* Early this year, the article says,
Calles ordered $50,000 transferred to
Badilio, the Mexican Minister to Rus
sia, “for propaganda expenses in favor
of Mexico in China.” This was done,
the article says, just as the Chinese
Nationalists were massing for a north
ward march on Shanghai. This was
inspired Jargely by Russ ion Soviet
agents who played on Chinese patrot
ism and resentment against the world
powers.
Calles issued another order in July,

000 be transferred to Badilio to be
turned over to “citizen Basil Livitn
