 ENTRY IN LEAGUE
Feels United States Coming
 Nearer to Joining Group

Detroit Nov. 15 LP)-Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy in the WiIcon cabinet, today expressed the belief that America his discarded its traditional policy of alliances with none," and by successive steps is approaching the door of the League Of Nations.
 Although official leaders have felt committed since 1920 not to rcurge entry into the league, he said in an address prepared for de livery before the Civic club here, America has been constantly asso- ciated with all international efforts to achieve the goal of the league, permanent peace.
 "Lct us thank God and take cour- age" he said, that two recent events advance us toward the goal that has always been near our hearts,
 These, he said, were the ratifica- tion of the Kellogg Briand treaty for the remuneration of war and the personal discussions Of President Hoover and Prime Minister Ram- say Macdonald of Great Britain.
 The fact that the mind of the British pacifist and the Quaker peace. lover seem to run together and in the right direction, has heartened and cheered lovers of peace all over the world" he con- tinued. Tt is the best augury of the closing year that these two Eng fish speaking nations, through their executive spokesman are seeing eye to eye, both ready to submerge na- tional preeminenCe to the veal of nankind.'

.CARAWAY PLAYS
 LOBBYIST GROUP
Calls Them Parasites Mentions
 EyanSon as Example

Washington, Nov. 15 UP)-The story of lobbying in Washington, as revealed by senatorial investigation, was placed before the people of the nation last night in a radio speech by Chairman Caraway of the inves- tisating committee.
 Caraway denounced lobbying and lobbyists, declaring lobbying tends ito destroy the confidence of the masses in the integrity of their gov ernmcnt and thus break down pub lie morale.
 Calls Them Parasites"
 He classed the majority of lobby istS as 'parasites.'
 ''Thcy have no acquaintance with mon in public life" he said. either in the executive or legislative branches. They seek to exercise no influence, they gather in the wid- oW's mite and the childrens pennies and appropriate them to their own use, in return they give nothing"
 Lobbying, he said. may be divid- cd into four classes
 In the first he placed those who seek by direct contact to control either the legislative or executive branch of government, or both, for their own profit" In this class he placed the Connecticut ManufaG- turers' association for placing it's paid employc, Charles l.. Eyanson, on the government payroll as q clerk to a senate committee.
 The second group, he said, rep resents organized effort seeking by both direct contact and propaganda the same end-adyantage for their group. Here he cited representa- tives of the beet-sugar interests who admitted spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to create scnti- ment for a high sugar duty.
 Grundy in Third Group
 Those in the third class seek to control government by financing political campaigns. naming Joseph k. Grundy, president of the Penn sylvania Manufacturers association, as an example. Grundy admitted he helped raise more than S1,000,00 for the last republican campaign, he said.
 CaraWay denounced most strongly lobbyists of his fourth group. who, he declared, are lobbyists, only lobbyists, the willing tool of any who will pay" Heading the list in this group, Caraway said is James A. Arnold, "head of the Southern Tariff league, the American Taxpay- CTS league, and other so-called or ganizations who function for profit only"
 Investigations of the senate lobby committee, he said, will be "barren of result if the American people shall not learn to hate both the lobbyist and lobbying.'
