NICHOL AS MURRAY
~ BUTLER, in his opening
talk with the students at Co
lumbia University, took the
two parties and their nOmi-
nees to task for refusing to
discuss what he terms the
problems that must be solved
if prosperity is to be re-
stored. He enumerates as
the problems three; those re-
latiug to the tariff, to money
aud to the European debts.
But on all these subjects the
Democrats have taken posi-
ton, and Mr. Roosevelt has
accepted the platform whole
heartedly and amplified upon
them in two speeches.
There is nothing that DR..
Butler says about the artifi-
cisl trade barriers put up at

thing he says on this subject
was said by men like Sena-
tor Hull when the Demo-
Gratis were fig h tin e the
Grundy economic monstrOs-
ity; and Mr.. Hoover was
using all the pressure Of his
high office to force it
through.
Everything that has hap
pened as a result of the pas
sage of that impossible meas
IRE was predicted on the
floor Of House and Senate by
men who are among the
leaders in the Roosevelt cam
paign. And the position
taken by DR.. Butler as to
method for getting rid Of
these barriers is the position
taken by the House, accepted
by the Senate and vetoed by
Mr.. Hoover.

- NSNSSS6A
DR.. Butler is right in his
conclusion that something
must be done in reference to
money for the benefit Of

But politicians" have not
been unmindful of that at
all. It is common knowledge
that under existing condi-
tions we cannot hope for
trade in silver countries and
there is not the most remote
possibility that these coun-
tries will go up to the gold
basis. Here is another prob
lem that can only be met by
international action.
But-Sen.a tor Pittman,
supporter of Mr.. Roosevelt,
embodied this idea in a Sem
ate resolution asking Presi-
dent Hoover to call an inter-
national conference-which,

The Best That

1t certainly is not true that

subject. The Democratic posi-

diplomatic channels or in
an international conference
to bring about reciprocal
action for the reopening Of
foreign trade. That is the
best that can he done now
after other nations, retaliat-
ing naturally on us, have
raised barriers against our
products. This position is
stated in the Democratic
platform. 1t has been re-
iterated by Mr.. Roosevelt,
and it is being opposed by
the Administration and its
supporters on the stump.
It is therefore amazing
that DR.. Butler should put
both candidates and both
parties in the same category
in regard to the tariff. Both
have spoken out. The posi-
ton of both is plain.

DR.. Butler Must Know
The Democratic Position

On the subject Of the
transfer Of the debt Of
eleven billions, owed TO us
by other nations that bor-
rOwed and used the money,
the Democrats in their plat
form came out flat-footed
against the transfer Of these
debts to American taxpay-
ers; and the Republicans
said nothing. The doctor
therefore should confine his
criticism TO those who have
maintained silence and not
include, as silent, those
whose position is clearly
stated.
I am in sympathy with
most Of what DR.. Butler says,
but he has been unfair in
conveying the impression
that the Democrats have ig-
nOred questions on which
they stand four-square. He
must know that as far as the
tariff barriers are concerned
that is one of the issues being
pressed most vigorously by
the Democrats. And he
must know that Democratic
position is that of Mr.. Roose-
velt and has been right
along.
Meanwhile, there is au-
other issue of primary i'm
portance which DIR. Butler
does not include, on which
both Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Hoover have taken positions;
the former by a clear exposi-
ton of his views backed by
his record as governor Of
New York, the latter by his
consistent policy for years.
That is the issue of public
utilities and power. And it
would be absurd to say that
this issue is not of public in
terest; or that Europe has
anything to do with it.
We can agree entirely
with DR.. Buffers statement
that world conditions have
something to do with our
situation, but that "cOndi-
tions particularly our own"
are responsible for much Of
the human misery we sec
about us. If Europe had
been reeking with prosperity,
that would not have pre-
vented the inevitable market
crash here due to gambling
operations and the grOtesque
initiation on the market.
That crash, which wiped
out eighty billions in credit
almost over night, began the
panic here. And that crimi-
nal initiation was due in a
measure to the jealous use of
the bellows by the Hoover
administration.
The insult crash, made
possible by a tolerance Of
crooked financial operations
by utilities, would not have
been possible under the more
civilized laws of England,
Germany and France.

poses measures for the pro-
lection OF the people against
future ruin and Mr.. Hoover
