P|NCH0T CHARGES
Hits u. S. Aid for Business as
Too Indirect Way to
Save Needy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, January 23.-Gov.
Clifford Pinchot Of Pennsylvania last
night condemned Federal relief for
business and finance while the Govern
ment has forgotten that distress is
centered In human beings"
Speaking before the Conference on
Governmental Responsibility for Un-
employment, Gov. Pinchot declared that
II do not believe We have come to the
point In this country where we are
ready to admit that money is more i'm
portant than men"
Nothing about this depression Is so
deplorable and so un-American as the
inability OF our So-called leaders to
think Of distress in human terms. Their
only genuine worry has to do with
financial collapse. Their sole aim has
been to revive business. Money first
and men afterward Apparently, human
beings can, as far as they are concerned,
so hang-or go starVe.
Favors Direct Relief.
"Here is the philosophy that lies be-
hind the stubborn opposition to Federal
administration, which refuses to sane
tion the appropriation Of single dollar
to help the millions Of men, women
and children who are in actual physical
distress. Our Government leaders have
turned their backs on human misery.
ITO my mind, breadline is more
shocking than a falling stock market.
would rather see thousand million
aires lose some of their dividends than
see single laborer lose his job
IT am not blind to the inter-r relation
ship between business and employment
l am deeply conscious Of the Importance
of business recovery. But that Is not
our only task. There Is more instant
need
while the banks and business are
recuperating, men cannot hibernate
through the long Winter Of depression.
They must eat II they are to live.
Says Cart Before Horse.
"That Is why I am SO emphatic In
demanding vast public works pro-
gram. one which will provide men with
jobs. That is why I am so strong for
direct Federal relief as embodied In the
La Toilette Costigan bill. which will give
the unemployed food and clothing, not
eventually. but now.
II cannot go with those who put the
cart before the horse l cannot go with
those who place higher value on the
dollar than on the man, the woman and
the child. I am for Federal relief for
the unemployed because the people need
1t. That is enough for me-"

MILLS SEES DANGER
IN TARIFF CHANGE
ReneWs Administration Fight
on Democratic Measure
Before Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Administration opposition to the House
Democratic tariff bill was renewed to-
day in testimony by Ogden Mills, IN
dersecretary of the Treasury, before the
Senate Finance Committee.
Mills said the bill was Calculated to
delay action on needed rate changes"
by restoring the flexible power to Con-
gress.
He also contended a Every serious
danger" would result in placing tariff
revision unfortunately" before Congress
Scores World Proposal.
Assailing the provision for an interna-
tional tariff conference looking to re-
moval of trade barriers, Mills said Con-
gress alone could determine the tariff
policy of this country.
"If this provision means that the
tariff Is too high, then it's Congress job
to bring in bill to reduce it" he said.
James A. Emery, counsel for the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
told the committee the Democratic bill
marked the acceptance "by both great
political parties of the protective policy.
Expressing opposition to the measure,
however, he said it "impairs, if it does
not destroy" the fundamental purpose
of flexible adjustment Of rates.
Foresees Hardships.
ITO restrict the rate-making effect
of Tariff Commission recommendations
by limiting it to action by Congress,
while in session." he said, "only empha-
sizes the hardships which may result
when Congress is not in session"
THE effect of such proposal,
Emery said, sis to make the recon-
mendations of the commission ineffec-
tive during at least 10 months when
Congress is not in session during al
ternate years"
Both Democratic and Republican
members Of the committee agreed that
one section of the bill, the suggestion
of Representative La Guardia, Repubh-
can, of New York, was unconstitutional.
This provides that commission rate
recommendations shall become effective
unless rejected by Congress in go days.
This, the committee held, would give
the commission making power
during adjournment of Congress,

recuperative powers. 1t had to absorb
some fresh selling coincident with new

this was not enough to offset the gains
chalked up when the new revenue bill
was enacted.
For the first time in several weeks.
the dollar nov can scrape elbows With
the elusive gold point" The gold point
is the foreign exchange quotation at
which a foreign currency must sell to
make it cheaper to ship gold abroad in
payment OF commitments than to use
dollars to buy foreign exchange curren-
cies in the international market.
The dollars recent rally has come
so close to the gold points on prin-
cipal European gold currencies, that
New York banks no longer are devot-
ing special time to calculating the ex-
act figures at which it becomes cheaper
to ship gold abroad than to buy for
eign currencies. No private shipments
of consequence are under way, they
report, so there is no practical need
for day-to-day study of the elusive
equation.
