President Calls Present Prob

The current period of stress is con-

He voiced this sentiment in his Lin

Nation upon hundred fronts, requir-

the organized action, the unity of
strength and the sense of devotion in

There are enduring principles he
said. And National ideals to be pre-

But the President expressed conf

BY the Associated Press.
A truce today suspended the Senate's
conflict over Federal aid to the unem-
ployed. a recess putting off a vote on
the legislation until Monday or Tuesday
Because many members were absent
for the week end, the remainder chose
not to go on with consideration until
full forces can be marshalled for the
predicted close decision. AdminiStra-
ton leaders steadily claim enough votes
to defeat the La Toilette -CoStigan bill
which would spend $780, ,000, 900 equally
on road building and grants to the
States for relief work.
johnson Makes Appeal.
However. yesterdays powerful appeal
by Senator Johnson, Republican Of
California, for aid to the women anC
children of the country's jobless. in
creased the confidence of relief advo-
Gates to the point that even some Re-
publicans are predicting passage OF
some form of compromise bill.
His voice booming through the
crowded chamber, the Californian called
attention to President Hoover's own
appeal u years ago for relief for Euro
pean children,
For the love of God" he shouted
"let us be for once in this adminiStra-
ton American minded and look after
Americans"
Johnson said President Hoover in
recommending appropriation of funds
for European children recognized that
opposition would be stirred. He quoted
Mr.. Hoover as saying, Il refuse to apply
those arguments to children"
He was right then" the Senator
said. Il ask that those arguments not
be applied to children now"
'He was speaking of children beyond
the sea Why are they entitled to treat
ment from the United States Govern
ment which is denied to children in
this cOuntry?"
Women and children, he said, are
suffering from "a state of affairs such
as has been described down the avenue
as rivalling state of war"
Begins at the Top"
Johnson complained that relief legis-
lation "all began at the top"
You have legislated in behalf of
banks and railroads" he asserted Now
some of us demand that you legislate in
behalf of babies and unprotected WomeS@
too"
The Californian ridiculed the state
ment yesterday by Senator Reed, Re
publican, of Pennsylvania, that every
thing is sound in America except that
we are in stew of panic that can
not last"
IF that is true then repeal your Re
construction Corporation act" he said
There never was such an act passed in
peace time Repeal it if there is no
panic"

both here and abroad, due to the con-
certed efforts of Government spokesmen
to point out that the proposed banking
remedy is in line with sound central
banking policy as practiced by coun-
tries which are firmly planted on d
gold basis.
Proposals of the House Ways and
Means Committee for higher income
taxes than originally contemplated
served to weaken the glow of Specula-
tive enthusiasm in some quarters, but
in banking circles this recommended
ton was generally approved on the
ground that any action which would
serve to balance the Governments
budget would be helpful
