HOOVER SAYS
PRODUCTIVITY
' MUST INCREASE
LONDON, Aug. 24 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—Unless Euro
pean productivity can be rapidly in
creased, there can be nothing but
political, moral and economic chaos
finally interpreting itself in loss of
life on a scale hitherto undreamed
of, says Herbert Hoover, head of the
inter-allied relief commission in an
analysis of the economic situation in
Europe just published in the British
National Food Journal.
“The entire surplus productivity of
the Western hemisphere is totally in
capable of meeting the present defi
ciency in European production if it
is long continued,” the analyst as
serts. “Nor could credits be mobil
ized for this purpose for more than
a short time because all credits must
necessarily be simply an advance
against the return of commodities in
exchange and credits will break down
the instant that the, return of com
modities becomes improbable. Fur
ther, if such credits be obtained for
more than temporary purposes it
Avould result in economic slavery of
Europe to the Western hemisphere
and the ultimate end would be war
again.”
Mr. Hoover points out this solution]
of the European economic problem:
“A vigorous realization of the actual
situation in each country of Europe
and a resolute statesmanship based
on such a realization—the populations
| of Europe must be brought to a real
ization that productivity must be in
stantly increased.”
In the present day European fer
ment. Mr. Hoover says, “every eco
[ nomic patent medicine” has flocked
under the banner of socialism or com
munism which has claimed to speak
for all the down-trodden—to alone be
speak human sympathy.”
Experimentation in varying forms
of these political leanings—socialism
and communism- -has so far, in every
case, resulted in reduced production,
the food controller says.
Europe’s threatened coal famine,
the analyst says, is due “in the largest
t
degree to the human factor of the lim
itation of effort.”
Western assistance in the form of
its devotion of surplus productivity
to Europe’s needs, “is a service that
the Western hemisphere must ap
proach with a high sense of human
t duty and sympathy,” concludes Mr.
Hoover. “The economic burden on
the W’est should not last more than a
year and can be carried and will be
repaid. To effect these results, the
resources of the Western hemisphere
and of Europe must be mobilized.”
^ AFFAIRS OF HUN ARMY
ARE BEING WOUND UP
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY, Aug. 22 (by mail).—
In connection with the winding up of
the old German army it is said that
the non-commissioned officers school
at Potsdam has been dissolved and
the men either discharged or sent to
regimental schools.
All Prussian war flags are to be
sent to Berlin for preservation in a
museum. Since the armistice some
regiments have retained their battle j
flags.
German newspapers recently pub
lished reports that 150 naval battle
flags had been stolen by German
workmen from a great quantity as
sembled in Danzig and were ex
changed as souvenirs with men of the
British warship “Coventry,” in re
^ turn for cigarettes, smoking tobacco
and chocolate.

MANY GYPSIES
EN ROUTE FOR
PACIFIC COAST
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19 (by As
sociated Press)—Romany tribes, com
monly called “gypsies,” are traveling
toward California from all parts of
the United States with the avowed
purpose of establishing a “sirnihatch”
or permanent sacred encampment at
Emeryville, across the bay from San
Francisco, officials of east bay cities
believe.
In possession of tribal leaders who
came to the coast to attend the re
cent marriage of George Adams, head
of one tribe, and “Gypsy” Mary, who
said she wras an Egyptian princess,
were found telegrams from head
quarters of six tribes scattered
throughout the country. These con
tained but two words, “Amen avasa”
or “We come.” They were said to
be replies to a country-wide call for
the gathering of the gypsy clans.
Not all of the gypsies are included
in the movement. The response is
confined to the more religious ele
ment, ’who still cling to the tradition
that one day they would take the
I
road to the land of promise by the
“great water,” the ultimate home of
the wanderers on the Pacific coast.
Fifteen thousand men and women
and their boys and girls are estimated
to be on their way here. Lesko
Amenja, head of a Greek gypsy band,
and others have made inquiries as to
state laws on municipal organizations
and the residents of Emeryville are
said to be apprehensive that the gyp
sies will have sufficient voting power
to take over control of the town, now
a city of 2,700 population.
The bands are reported to have
adopted a central tribal flag de
signed at Chicago by one of tbeir
leaders. It is a green banner bear
ing the legend “Borodiro Sivety”—“A
Greater People.” Involved in the
migration to this coast are gypsies
of the Turkish, Rumanan, Hungaran,
of the Turkish, Rumanian, Hungarian,
sian, Greek, Bohemian, Italian and
Spanish tribes.
AMERICAN COMMISSION
IS WELL RECEIVED IN
COUNTRY OF SULTAN
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19 (by As
sociated Press).—Sergeant “Mike”
Dorizas, a former University of Penn
sylvania wrestler and football player,
as interpreter for the American man
date commission, has been making a
tour of Turkey and recent letters
from him give interesting accounts
not only of his personal experiences
but of the vast changes that have
taken place in the Ottoman empire
since the war.
“In Constantinople,” Ine writes,
“one sees all kinds of soldiers, but
the city is dead. The harbor is full
of warships of the allied nations; the
shops are nearly empty and the few
remaining commodities are very cost
ly. Food, though, is not more expen
sive than in France.
“The thing that impressed me most
in the old capital was seeing Turkish
women going about with their faces
uncovered and riding in carriages
with men and walking with men.
Things are changing, even in Turkey.
I suspect the presence of the allied
troops and men-of-war has made the
women more courageous.”
From Damascus Sergeant Dorizas
wrote: “The men of the commission
are working very hard and I am sure
great good will come from their ef
forts. The commission is received
everywhere with open arms and all
want America to take an interest in
their affairs.”
