ROOSEVELT URGES
. REDUCTIONS AGAIN
President-EIect, in Magazine
Article, Reiterates Stand
on u. S. Costs.

The determination of President-elect
Roosevelt to reduce costs of Govern
ment is reiterated in an article by him
in this weeks issue of Liberty Maga zine,
in which he says there ought to be
drastic cuts" in the governmental
structure set up in Washington.
Vastly important to the restoration
OF American economic life," he says,
lis a reduction in the cost of Govern
ment. national, State and local.
In order to clarity my position on
this subject let me state that reduc-
ton in the operating expenses ought to
be brought about by drastic cuts in
the bureaucracy that has grown up in
Washington. Not only this. but many
functions now performed by the Federal
Government must, in the face of such
necessity as we now have before US, be
eliminated"
National In Scope.
The Governor interpreted his election
as "a mandate truly national In scope"
and he said that he hoped to cooper
ate with the whole Congress, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike.
The vote was an expression OF de-
termination to meet the depression
boldly and to give the American people
new deal in their political and eco
nomic life" the Governor wrote.
Foremost among the policies have
emphasized is the invitation to forward
looking men Of all parties to enlist in a
common cause. 1t goes without saying
that in the relations between the exec
utive and the legislative branches of the
n I,t~ y,-fr1 rfyzr@ ,x,{JI -,
lied. ! hope to cooperate with the
whole Congress, Democrats and Repub-
licans alike.
The. Constitution, however, clearly
contemplated that the presidency might
without overstepping its proper func-
tions, provide a degree Of leadership
for the various points Of view repre-
sented IN the Congress This leadership
it shall be my primary purpose to pro-
vide" he said.
Cabinet Makeup.
About the makeup OF his official fam
lily, the Governor wrote:
Those whom shall call to join with
me in bearing the responsibilities OF
this administration will, as a matter OF
course, be devoted to the spirit OF the
Democratic platform and the principles
wealth Of competence and liberalism
which the Democratic cause this year
has enlisted affords a bright prospect
for the future of the public service"
The Governor recalled that during
the campaign he set forth his ideas OF
needed legislation. These he restated as
Immediate relief of unemployment.
Debt relief for the farmer and q ma
tional agricultural program.
Rehabilitation and consolidation OF
the railways.
Electric power rates at fair cost.
Restoration of normal foreign trade
through tariff adjustments.
Concluding the article, Gov Roose-
welt said:
"As President of the United States I
shall do my utmost to restore the bal
ance of our economic interests and to
simplify and vitalize our political in
stitutions, so that as changes come they
may be effected without injury to the
proper rights of any individual and
without conflict with the spirit of
American institutions. With your help,
I can do It,"

SUFFRAG|ST HONOR
REQUESTED AT FAIR
Foundation Here Asks Recog.
milton of Susan B. An
thony in Chicago.

Oficial recognition at the Century
Of Progress Exposition in Chicago next
year Of the work of the leader Of the
woman's suffrage movement, Susan B.
Anthony, was asked in a resolution for
warded today to officials in charge of
the fair by the Susan B. Anthony
Foundation here.
The foundation said an exposition
depicting the progress of the past CEN
tury would be incomplete without
recording the progress of the feminist
movements which susan B. Anthony
spent so years promoting.
The resolution, in part, sets forth:
She actively participated in three
great reform movements during her
lifetime, covering a period Of so years
and affecting the welfare of millions
of men, women and children.
Pioneer Advocate.
"She was a pioneer advocate OF CO.
education and helped to secure for
women the opportunity Of a college
education.
"Passionately believing in the freedom
OF the individual, she labored zealously
for the anti-slayery movement, cam
paigning for two years with William
Lloyd Garrison and other abolitionists,
whose influence was decisive factor In
the emancipation of the Negro race.
"As lifelong advocate Of equal rights
and justice to women, she became the
acknowledged leader of the woman
movement. bringing about a great i'm
provement in the status of women, thus
opening the door to greater national
and international life.
"Thirty-seven consecutive years, from
1859 until 1906, the year Of her death,
she appeared before a congressional
committee to plead for a suffrage
amendment to the Constitution, which
was finally passed in 1920.
She was largely instrumental in
bringing about the organization of the
International Council Of Women in
1888
ITO her belongs the credit for Sc
curing official recognition and repre-
sentation for women at the World Fair
at Chicago in 1893, which produced the
brilliant International Congress of Rep
resentative Women, and a strong i'm
petus to the woman movement"
Adopted ut Y. w. C. A.
The resolution was passed at a spe-
cial meeting of the foundation last
night at the Y. w. G. A., at which Mrs.
Adelaide johnson, sculptor of the
marble group, Pioneer Women" at the
Capitol, gave an illustrated lecture on
the Influence Of the Life of Susan B
Anthony on Century Of Progress"
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. Anna E. Henley, honorary presi-
dent of the foundation. to whom 1t
was turned over by the president, Mrs.
Percy M. Bailey.
Mrs. Rose Arnold Powell. first vice
president and chairman of the founda-
tons Education Committee, who called
the special open meeting, introduced
the resolution.

Highway Appropriations Large.

The total of these in this years ap-

sl60, 100000 and some OF them doubt
less might be discontinued in the in
terests of economy. The biggest item
Of Federal aid, however, Is the $l08,-
100000 distributed this year for high
way construction, exclusive of an ad-
ditional $130,000,000 appropriated for
the same purpose in the emergency
construction act. A budget cut in the
$108, 900. 900 is certain to be part of the
anticipated presidential economies, but
prospects Of congressional approval Of
such a cut are colored by the fact that
this appropriation Is specially adapted
to furnishing employment.

Denmark Slashes All
But Kings Allowance

COPENHAGEN, Denmark. - King
Christians personal allowance is the
only item in the Danish budget for the
years 1928 which is not scheduled to
be cut by the Stauning government in
its attempts to reduce state expenses.
Every other item on the expenditure
side Of the balance sheet has been re-
duced considerably estimated expenses
for the coming budget year being 81
900 900 crowns less than those for the
present year. While King Christian IS
allotted 1,072 900 approximately
1920 000-the ministry Of war Will get
5000, 600 less than it did this year, and
the ministry of marine $4,000 less.
The new budget, which remains to be
passed by Parliament, proposes to elm
mate all but absolutely necessary ex-
penses, and it is consequently interest
ing to see what the Staining Social
Democratic government considers need
less" While allotments for the fighting
forces are cut considerably, so is the
allotment for the ministry OF religious
affairs.
The ministry Of education, the min
istry of social affairs and the ministry
of foreign affairs are spared big cuts,
although they also are called upon to
reduce expenses slightly. 1t is worth
noting that one-fifth Of the total in
come of the State is to be derived from
the sale Of schnapps, beer and strong
drink-just as has been the case dur
ing the present year.

Scandinavians Aroused
By officials Faux Pas

STOCKHOLM, Sweden.-Credit for
remarkable faux pas" Is attributed
to an official Of the French ministry OF
commerce, who, until few days ago,
had never studied the map OF Northern
Europe. Though ignorant as young
ster OF things geographic, this func-
tionary was intrusted with the task or
deciding which countries with "deprecl-
ated currency would be obliged to pay
an extra tariff on goods imported into
France, in accordance with recent
government edict.
The gentleman in question had ap-
parently heard that the Swedish crown
and the Danish crown were OH the
gold standard. He was less sure about
Norway, and he did not even know how
Finland stood So without taking the
trouble to consult any one,, ne pro-
ceeded to Ak the extra duty" for
Sweden and Denmark at Is per cent
and that Of Norway at per cent.
Finland, whose currency had depreci-
ated even more than that OF the other
three Scandinavian countries, was let
off without any extra duty at all.
When the SWedes and Danes heard
about this they were infurlated and
both proceeded to place embargoes on
French liquor for the rest OF the year.
Norway also was furious, though slight
ly less than Sweden and Denmark
Finland was exultant and saw prospects
of being able to cut Sweden entirely
out of the French wood and paper-pulp
market, thanks to her Is per cent ad-
vantage Sweden and Denmark made
official protests to the French govern
ment over the favoritism shown Fin
land. Then the French suddenly dis
covered that all of the Scandinavian
currencies were equally deprecated.
Now Finland and Norway have been
placed on the list Of those countries
paying Is per cent extra duty, and
every one is unhappy.

Fairly Accurate American Press
Beneficial in Forei On Relations

George r. Holmes, to mention at ran
dom only few of the many outstand-
ing men in this field
The men who cover these matters can
be placed in three groups Washing
ton correspondents, correspondents in
foreign countries and writers in Amer
can cities outside of Washington. Many
of those in the second and third groups
have had at one time or another eAper-
!ence as Washington correspondents. AS
Washington is the capital and center of
our foreign relations it has large and
distinguished corps of writer's on foreign
affairs whose articles are read through
out the United States. Some special
remarks on these men may serve to give
good insight into the matters We ere
treating.
1t can be said without fear of con-
tradiction that the accredited news
paper men in Washington have con-
facts that practically no professor or
text book writer could possibly have.
They are in almost daily and intimate
conversations with the President of the
United States, the Secretary of State,
leading Senators and Congressman, dip
lomats, visiting foreign officials, foreign
correspondents and representative Amer
ican leaders who visit Washington in
large numbers.
1t is difficult for a person outside of
Washington to understand to what eX-
tent these men are taken into the con-
fidence of officials and leaders and even
called on for important aid and advice.
1t not infrequently happens that they
alone are furnished with most impor-
tant confidential data. While some
times they are not at liberty to quote
this data as coming directly from the
official or leader concerned, it often aids
them in the preparation and presenta-

special writer's of their own staffs or
syndicated writer's. There are articles
and editorials by special writer's sup
plementing and interpreting the news.
To what extent can these special writer's
be criticized on account of their ability,
their accuracy or their integrity?
Competition in the newspaper field is
great and this is particularly true of
those who write on such large problems
as foreign relations. Usually only the
highest grade of men of long experience
&nd extensive travels ever become prom
inent in this field. 1t is not unusual to
find that they have been engaged in this
work for twenty years or more, have
been on the scene of action of many OF
the most important international hap
penings and have had extraordinary
contacts with the men who have been
actually making diplomatic history
They are much more careful students
of the scientific phases of foreign re-
lationS than is generally recognized
They frequently have extensive libraries
and read carefully the works of out
standing scientific authorities. 1t is
difficult to deceive them either officially
or unoficially. They have way of fer
reting out confidential angles of nego-
tiations, which gives them an insight
sometimes not completely available even
to the officials who are conducting the
negotiations. They are keenly aware of
the actuality and practically of inter-
national happenings.

Balearic Islands
Seeking Freedom

PALMA, Majorca. - The Balearic
Islands, Mediterranean crossroads,
where Occidental, African and Euro
pean civilizations have met and claShed
for more than two thousand years, are
once more weaving dreams of regainlng
a measure of their lost freedom.
AS far back as 1921 the people of
the Balearic group-of which the island
of Majorca, with its 1850 square miles
and its nearly 100000 inhabitants, is
the largest-cast the dice and lost in
their last previous effort for freedom.
In that year Majorca's hero, Juan
Crespi led the people IN revolt against
the tyranny of SPANS ruler, Charles
", and drove the Kings men from most
Of the island. But the Kings men
came back strong and Crespi and 400
of his followers paid for their revolt
with torture and death
Since then Majorca has been either
under Spanish or Austrian domination.
The AuStrianS once got a foothold and
iards came back. And in all that
time the efforts Of the people to have
a voice in their own affairs have been
firmly and even rudely discouraged.
Now, with a republican government
implanted in Spain, and with the way
paved by the new constitution for
granting autonomy to such regions as
seek it, new move is afoot here for
obtaining a form of regional self-gov-
ernment similar to that demanded by
the Basques, or by the people of neigh
boring Catalonia, whose capital, BARGE
Iona, is but nights boat ride away.
The nearly 100000 people who in
habit the three largest islands of Ma
jorca, Minorca and IviZa and the two
smaller islands have, in fact, a strong
affinity for the Catalans for they them
selves are of a dominantly Catalan
strain and their language, commonly
called Majorquese, is in reality almost
pure Catalan.
When Col Francisco Macia, just
after the proclamation of the republic,
set up his Catalan State in Barcelona,
a movement was Immediately COM
menced to bring the Balearics back into
the Catalan family as of old. The idea
was that the islanders should have
their own government and then make
kind of federative alliance with the
CatalanS
This movement has been definitely
spiked, however, by the new constitution,
which, being anti-federal, has pro-
hibited the federation of regions among
themselves. So the only way out for
the Balearics is to set up regime
which, while similar to that of Cata-
lonia, will not be federated with it.
