Of the Treasury Andrew W. Mel
lon announced six years ago that
the Treasury could meet that ex-

defeat any such maneuver,
They also will insist on an i'm

try to delay matters by holding

Action This Week
If the bills friends have their

to the Senate tomorrow and con-

DOAK' s SECRET
OPPOSITION TO
BILL FLAYED
New Campaign for Passage
Of State-FederaI Agencies
Is Started in Congress
International News Service

~---~-N~N----@
A new campaign for passage OF
the bill of Senator Wagner CD Of
New York creating State-Federal
employment agencies was opened
in the House today, with Secretary
of Labor Doak the target of
criticism because Of the depart
ment's objection to some features
of the measure.
Despite the fact that the bill
has been reported from the Judi
ciary Committee, Representative
Graham (R.) of Pennsylvania,
chairman, as taking no steps to
bring II to q vote.
Instead, it was learned, Secre-
tary of Labor Doak has secretly
communicated some objections to
the bill to the committee, and it is
planned to call him before 1t
Wednesday for a discussion.
Action to Be Demanded
Representatives LaGuardia (R.)
and Celler CD Of New York, both
members of the Judiciary Com
mittee, we're expected to serve de-
mands today for action on the
measure.
The Wagner bill has been BIT
terly fought by private employ
ment agencies. Under its terms

StallatiOn Of Federal offices IL the
States fail to cooperate.
One of the proposals is that

the bill, have been attacked as
unconstitutional.

New Plot RumOred
Convinced that Alfonso COM
mitted the greatest blunder in his
regime when he docilely accepted
the drastic program of his politi-
cal enemies, a powerful group of
monarchist generals was reported
today to be planning a new coup
to save the throne.

liabIy reported was preservation
Of the monarchy through q proc
lamatiOn Of another military die
tatOrship.
Night-long troop movements
added strength to these reports,
although the government ex-
planned the troops were being
posted about the city merely as
a precautionary measure against
any revolutionary coup. -

Hope was expressed today by

ployment, that from the emer-
gency campaign to meet condi-
tions arising from the business
depression would develop eco
nomic information that would
greatly reduce the probability Of
serious recessionS in the future.
Recently in a radio talk Woods
declared that the present situa.
tion was stupid" He said:
1--WE did not enter the fight
to bring back employment and
prosperity with any other aim
than to attack the immediate
problem. However, information
is being obtained from all parts
Of the country as to the causes
of the depression and il is pos
sible that by the time the COM
mittee has completed its work.

remedies to prevent repetition
Of hard.times may be pre-
pared"

Woods was not ready to dis
close what economic remedies
may be applied.

pansion of construction work
does not cause overproduction
and subsequent depression as
does an expansion Of commodity
construction. This is particularly
true of public works, building,
roads and river and harbor i'm
provement, In his belief.
Report of Committee
In discussing the ups and
downs of business the report Of
the committee on recent economic
changes which included business,
labor and social leaders said:
"The forces that bear upon
our econ Omic relationships
have always been sensitive. All
parts of our economic struc-
ture from the price processes
of making and marketing to the
facilitating functions of finance,
are and have been interdepen-
dent and easily affected. And
therein lies the danger, that
through ignorance of economic
principles, or through selfish
greed. or inadequate leadership
the steady balance will be dis
turbed, to our economic de-
triment."
After pointing out that If
money in quantity is taken out Of
production and employed for
speculation, business equilibrium
will be destroyed. the committee
said:
"TO maintain the dynamic
equilibrium Of recent years is,
indeed, a problem Of leadership
which more and more demands
deliberate public attention and
control. Research and study,
the orderly classification Of
knowledge, Joined to increase
skill, well may make complete
control of the economic situ-
AtiOn."
