GERMANY RELUCTANT TAKE
SECONDARY PLACE IN THE
COMBINATION
PARIS. Dec.. 4. i/Pi— Benito
Mussolini’s long meditated Cen
-ral-Eastern alliance embracing
Italy. Germany, Russia. Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey, has been
the principal topic of conversa
tion in Europe since the Litvin
off interview a few days ago at
Milan.
• This combination is offered as
: :i affset to the group of nations
defending the territorial clauses
of the Versailles treaty headed
rv France and including Bel
Mum. Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Rumania, Jugoslavia and Greece.
This projected alliance which
was '‘pooh poohed” as impossi
ble dream when it was first
broached a few years ago. began
-o revive with the Hitlerite elec
torial success in Germany and
t ined strength with the recent
> sit of Premier Count Bethlem
. Hungary and Angora.
Unquestionably. Rome is doing
j very thing possible to make 11
reality but obstacles make its
■; resent realization unlikely.
First among these is Germany's
rlimctance to take a secondary
r1 ; ee in any European comb ma
'am involving a risk of war.

OFFING
WASHINGTON, Dec., 4, —
President Hoover opposed con
tinuance of reduced income tax

the $3,932,842,000 budget for the

He reiterated the prediction
of a $180,000,000 deficit this year
and warned that appropriations j
looking beyond that and the ac
tion of the next six months to1
alleviate unemployment would
bring difficulties and will result
in another deficit next year.
The House went to work on the
Treasury and Postoffice supply
bill immediately.

PRESIDENT HOOVER
MS TO POINT
Wm REPORT
IMMEDIATE PROBLEM IS EM
PLOYMENT INCREASE OF
MONTHS AHEAD
WASHINGTON, Dec., 4. (/Pi
President Hoover’s third message
to Congress carried the follow
ing pointed sentences:
Economic depression cannot be
cured by legislative action or
executive announcement Eco
nomic wounds must be healed
by the action of the cells of the
economic body, the producers
and consumers, themselves.
“Some time ago it became
evident unemployment would
continue over the winter. We
have before us a definite duty,
that of seeing no deserving per
son in our country suffers from
hunger or cold.
“As a contribution to the sit
uation the federal government is
engaged upon the greatest pro
gram of waerway. harbor, flood
control public buildings, high
ways and airway improvements,
in history. This, together with a
loan to shipbuilders, will exceed
$520,000,000 for this fiscal year.
Our immediate problem Is the
increase of employment for the
next six months and new plans
which do not produce such im
mediate result or which extend
commitments beyond this per
iod. are not warranted.
“I urge tha tstrengthening our
deportation laws so as to more
fully rid ourselves of criminal
aliens.
“The political agitation in
Asia, revolutions in South Amer
ica and political stress in some
European states, the methods of
sale in r 'ia of her increasing
agricultural exports to European
markets and our own drought
has contributed for long to the
depression. In the larger view
the major forces of the depress
ion now lay outside the United
States and our recuperation has
been retarded by the unwarrant
ed degree of fear and apprehen
sion created by these outside
forces.
HOSPITAL FAME SPREADS
Although they were headed for
the Outside where they were
looking for hospital treatment,
Mr. and Mrs. Fr*5d Mueller of
Ouzinkie, who came in from the
Westward on the Admiral Far
ragut decided to remain over in
Seward. Mrs. Mueller had been
ill, but when they heard of the
excellent service that the Se
ward General Hospital had been
giving they decided that they
need go no farther.
LOOKS OVER COUNTRY
Miss Maude May, who has been
a guest at the Van Gilder for
some months took the round trip
to the Westward on the Admiral
Farragut and saw as much as the
south end of Kodiak Island as
Three Saints Bay, where some of
the first Russian ships landed
way back around the time the
Bostonians were tossing tea into
Boston Bay as protest against the
British tax.
