Bonus Agitation Deemed
 Unlikely to Bulk Large
 As Issue in Campaigning 2
By BYRON PRICE

In spite of all the excitement in Washington, there is no mediation the bonus agitation will cut much ice on election day.
 Plenty of placards berating Pres ident Hoover have been on display in the bonus camps, but most of the votes behind those placards probably would have gone against the Republicans anyway on the score of the depression and un- employment, political observers be- uieve.
 It must De remembered that the American Legion-which numbers it's millions where the B. E. F numbers it's thousands-rejected a bonus resolution at the Detroit convention, after a special appeal from the President.
 Legion officials later were much displeased when the administration recommended cuts in certain al ready authorized veterans allow ances, and the Legion stood by ano watched during the administra' tion's subsequent troubles with the Washington paraders.
 But evidence is wholly lacking that the Legion intends to takt the issue into the campaign.

CAPTAIN HAWKS
WELL BROKEN UP
in THAT CRASH
he Is Doing Fairly Well at
Worcester Hospital -
But He Has Very Many
Injuries

Worcester Mass, April S-(UP)
Captain Frank NJ. Hawks, vet
Gran speed flier, was reported to-
day as fairly comfortable" at
worcester city hospital, where he
is recovering from severe injuries
suffered in a plane crack-up yes
terday. He received two fractures
of the lower jaw, a broken nose,
ugly wounds on the face, and gas
oiine burns on the shoulder and
right arm. and several of his teeth
were knocked out when his low
wing monoplane, unable to lift
from a soggy field, crashed into a
stone wall at Worcester airport in
North Grafton yesterday.
: At city hospital, Hawks under
went a double operation per-
formed by DIR Ernest i. Hunt,
prominent Worcester surgeon, and
DR. Max Ginns, dental surgeon.
Afterward DIR Hunt said Hawks
condition was not critical and
would not become critical unless
dirt driven into his facial wounds
developed an infection. Hawks,
who will be confined to tn hospi-
tai at least five or six weeks, ac-
cording to DR. Hunt, to-day looked
forward to reunion with his wife,

tie fellow as it is now goving to the
large banks and corporations. This
is another example of building
from the bottom up.
zone other objective closely re-
lated to the problem of selling
American products is to provide a
tariff policy based upon economic
common sense rather than upon
politics, hot air and pull. This coun
try during the last few years, Gull
minating with the Hawley-Smoot
tariff of 1929, has compelled the
world to build tariff fences so high
that world trade is decreasing to
the vanishing point. The value of
goods internationally exchanged is
to-day less than half of what it was
three or four years ago.
j.. Every man and woman who
gives any thought to the subject
knows that If our factories run
even so. per cent of capacity they
will turn out more products than
we as nation can possibly use our
selves. The answer is that If they
are to run on so per cent of capa-
city we must sell some goods
abroad. How can we do that If the
outside nations cannot pay us in
cash? And we know by sad exper-
fences they cannot do that. The
only way they can pay US is in their
own goods or raw materials, but
this foolish tariff Of ours makes
that impossible.
what we must do is tIis-to re-
wise our tariff on the basis of a re-
ciprocal exchange Of goods, allow
ing other nations to- buy and to pay

Governor Rooseyelt's Address
The text of Governor Roosevelt's
address follows:
Although I understand that I
am talking under the auspices of
the Democratic National Commit
tee, do not want to limit myself
to politics. 1 do not want to feel
that 1 am addressing an audience
Of democrats nor that I speak
merely as a democrat myself. The
present condition of our national
affairs is too serious to be viewed
through partisan eyes for partisan
purposes.
Fifteen years ago my public
duty called me to an active part in
great national emergency-the
World War. Success then was due
to a leadership whose vision car

tile gesture of sending tiny army

HUGE BRIDGE

Rome, April 8 - (UP) - The
ministry of communications to-
day examined a plan drawn up by
General Gavy for a large bridge to
span the Messina straight and
support a double track railroad
automobile road, and pedestrians
road. The plans called for struc-
ture 1000 meters long. 20 meters
wide, to stand 120 meters above
sea level. General Gavy suggested
that the bridge be properly forti-
fled against naval and aerial at
tacks.

the social and economic structure.
They have sought temporary re-s
lief from the top down rather than.
permanent relief from the bottom
up. They have totally failed to plan
ahead in "a comprehensiye way.
They have waited until something
has cracked and then. at the last
moment, have sought to prevent to-
tai collapse. It is high time to get
back to fundamentals. 1t is high
