Officials View It as Of fering Bash for Great er European Stability Washington, May 21.?Adolf Hit Jar's speech today was viewed by high government authorities as a possible basis for new European stability. Reports of the speech received here were interpreted as combining an insistence that Germany's new ly-declared independence be recog nised with a conciliatory gesture toward her neighbors, especially France. Three points particularly impress ed officials here as they read cable dispatches of the address before tke German Reichstag. They woe the offer for collective action to main tain peace; for non-aggresaiye pacts; and for a strict adherence to the Locarno Pact and a willingness to "complete" it with an air agree ment between the powers. Observers pointed out that the statement that self-sufficiency gen erally is hkxtnfhl' was somewhat akin to the behefs of. Secretary of State Cordell Hull that national economica has' its dangers. Officials avoided even on "on the record" 'comment on Germany's demand for return of her former colonies. They have declined con sistently to discuss this question which would, if successful, reinstate Germany as a Pacific power con troling hundreds of islands there which passed to Japan under League of Nations mandate. While the United States has in sisted upon a legal right to share in the disposition of ad territories Germany ceded to the Allied pow ers at the close of the World War, this government usually hasf de clined to exercise that right. Fre quently theargument was that since moot of the colonies were in Africa the issue was one involved in Euro pean policies and the United States did not wish any entangling agree ments. Some experts believed that the United States would prefer to see Germany regain her Pacific man dates from Japan for whom they constitute potential naval outposts capable of blocking access of the United States to Asia. Since Jap anese officials frequently have inti mated that they would fight- to re tain these mandates, it was pointed out there it little likelihood of any change in status in the near future.

Poo fought side-by-side with the | school foreea seeking higher school I appropriations. He also favored better pey for teaUielS, Itfgimey and prison employees, as well as more cake and coffee for all State hired help;> Unable to attend the session in person, Mr. Pou made one radio appeal from his bed and radio offi cials said it was probably the first ; radio "bed-aide" talk made in North Carolina.. k < ? ? ' 1 NEW TARGET?Now that the General Assembly is no more (at least for ninety days or more) Tar Heels will focus their attention more acutely to national affairs and in stead of petitioning State Senators and Representatives, appeals will go | to U. S. Senators and Congressmen. Right at this time North Carolinians | probably are more interested in ag ricultural, bonus, and public utilities legislation. Many a letter will go forth to Washington concerning the JWamm. potato control hill, the Pat-' man bonus bill (fated for? Presi dential veto). .Probably ? many communications will protest that sec tion, of tS5 Wbeder-Rayburn bill ; which proposes to flace operating gas and electric companies under Federal rather than State oMtttot Proponents and opponents of both the Bonus and Rayborn bills are re |ported active., \ I ?

It is easy to see the ultimate re of mealing-recurring , demands by the issuance of Treasury note*. It invites an ultimate reckoning in uncontrollable price* and^'iife^an' destruction on the value of saving* r the veterans who seora to be temporarily benefitted." "The first person injured by rock eting prices is the man on a fixed income. This bill favor*- the able bodied Veteran at the expense of tl* disabled veteran." "Wealth is. not created, nor ia it more equitably distributed by this method. A government, like an in dividual must ultimately meet legit imate obligations out of the pro duction of wealth by the labor of human beings applied to the re sources of nature. Every country that has attempted the form of meet ing it* obligations which is here provided has suffered disastrous consequences." ."The veteran who suffers from this depression can best be aided by the rehabilitation of the country aa a whole." i "I have much sympathy for the urgument that some who remained at home in civilian employ enjoyed special privilege and unwarranted remuneration. That is. true?bitter ly true?but a recurrence of that type of war profiteering can .. and must be prevented in any future war." "That budget (the one for the year) asked for appropriation in excess of receipts to the extent of four billions of dollars. The whole of that deficit was to be applied ffr work relief for the unemployed. Ttmt. was a single minded, definite purpose. Every veteran on the re lief rolls was included in that pro posed deficit?he will be taken care of out of it" "Today the credit of the United tSitatea is safe. But it cannot ulti-. ' mately be safe if we engage in a policy of yielding to each and all of the groups that are able to en force upon the Congress claims for special consideration." "I do not need to be a prophet to assert that if these certificates due in 1946, are paid in full today every candidate for election to the Senate or the House of Represent atives will in the near future be called upon in- the name of patriot ism to support general pension legislation for all veterans, regard less, of need or age." ; "The people and the government #f the United States have shown # jproppv qnfigenerous regard for |hfe sacrifices and patriotism of all ftf the four and three-quarter mil lion men who were in uniform no matter where-they-served." ' \ "The bill before me provides for the immediate payment of the 1946 value of the certificates, ft means paying fl,600>000;000, more than the present value of the certificates. It requires an expenditure of more than *2,200,000,000 in cash for this puipaser It directs payment to the. veterans of much larger sqm than was contemplated in the 1924 set tlement." , 'V> ' f "Is it not better to treat every able-bodied American alike and to Carry out the great relief program adopted rby this Congress in a spirit in equality to all? This applies to every unit of government through out the nation." \ "This proposal, I submit* violates the entire principle of veterans benefits so carefully formulated at the tium of the- war and also the entire principle of the adjusted tertificate settlement of 1924." ? .. . :'& .'
