SPEECH
ON BONUS AWAITED
Governor to Return From
West to Meet His Biggest
Single Issue.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

NEW YORK, September 30-When
Gov. Roosevelt gets back from the West
he will find the biggest single issue that
he has to meet-the bonus-suddenly
assuming proportions far beyond the
merits of the issue itself.
Persons well informed about the DEM
ocratic nominees plans and speeches
insist he will come out definitely against
cash payment. They explain the delay
on the ground that Mr.. Roosevelt has
been examining alternative plans in
the hope that he could offer something
constructive for the veterans, instead OF
mere negation of their request. Some
mathematically inclined individuals,
with knack for insurance calculations,
have figured out ways that might cash
the bonus through some cooperation
with private insurance companies but
all such schemes have thus far been
found impractical.
Loses Ground on Issue.
Mr.. Roosevelt has lost some ground
by his delay in tackling the question,
but it will not be a circumstance to
what he would lose if he evades the is
sue alIOgeIQer. II ISL Ile Julius dSi-
tators who are concerned over his ut
terance nor the business interests that
have lately become aroused over the
threat of cash payment of the bonus,
but the people generally are looking
upon the bonus question as a test OF
whether the Government is really 60
ing to economic or whether it is going
to play along with organized minorities
that have vote getting power.
Mr.. Roosevelt is represented by his
Evening star., 1932-09-30

friends as ready to speak vigorously on
the bonus question in opposition to cash
payment While most Roosevelt men
say AL Smith has been sulking in his
tent ard hasn't been supporting the
ticket as he should. they overlook the
fact that Mr.. Smith asked Mr.. ROose-
velt in a recent magazine article to say
frankly whether he favors the bonus
and whether he favors also continu-
ance of the present heavy veterans ex-
penSes. Thus far no reply has come
from the Democratic nominee. Some
of the admirers of former Gov. Smith
say his reluctance to take an active
part in the campaign arises not from
anything personal but from a differ
ence in principle that dates back to his
own attack on the Roosevelt forgotten
man" speech.
Billion Dollar Economy.
The Democratic platform calls for a
billion dollar economy in the budget.
Mr.. Roosevelt has not yet said how this
can be accomplished. But if he fails
to squelch the idea of s2,500 000, 900
cash payment Of the bonus, he will
riddle his own party platform and his
own promises of economy and reduced
taxation So the bonus has become the
central issue of the whole economy
problem, and while the eX-Service men
have many votes. it is believed the av-
erage man has lately become much
more interested in economy than in
special grants to any group, and that
those who oppose large Government ex-
penses are already finding on the stump
a very vehement response.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is going to make a
speech on the bonus after his return
If he takes the Hoover position. 1t will
eliminate the issue from the presiden-
tial campaign. If he doesn't oppose it
outright, it will not only cost him Dem
ocratic votes among the conservatives
but will be the basis Of Republican
counter-attack all along the line. Sc
the bonus will be in the headlines again
before election day and may prove q
decisive influence with many voters.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, September 30.-At-
tacking a statement of Jouett Shouse
that dry States would get Government
protection against wet States II the
eighteenth amendment were repealed,
Edward B. Dunford, counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League of America, last
night told the State convention OF the
Maryland Women's Christian Temper
ance Union that this could not be ac-
complished before prohibition.
Mr.. Shouse is reported to have said
that in case of repeal of the eighteenth
amendment" Dunford told the dele
gates, the States desiring prohibition
would be adequately protected from
liquor shipments by the Webb-Kenyon
act and that such dry States would be
sure to have the protection Of the Fed
eral Government in their rights.
THE Webb-Kenyon act, passed by
Congress March /, 1918. did not ade-
quately protect the dry States from the
smuggling of liquor into them from wet
States before the adoption of the eight
eenth amendment. There is no reason
to think that it would do so now"

it has done in the past and what 1t Is
doing in the present is impressed upon
education it cannot fail to meet with
their approval.
1T is a time when the people ought
to stand firm. There is nothing that

BOSTON. September 80. - Secretary
of Commerce Roy D. Chaplin, in his
maiden political speech since becoming
a member of President Hoover's cabinet,
launched an attack here last night on

serting "the present situation indicates

menace to our efforts to overcome un-

Speaking at the annual meeting Of the

ufacturers, he declared that the present
tariff law as factor has played an
important part In enabling the United
States to Withstand the worst effects OF
the world depression.
1T will continue to bulk large in i'm
portance in our progress toward recon-
struction," he added.
Your statisticians can tell better
than I the workers in your mills that
would have been vainly seeking employ
ment." he said, 'if the goods they made
had to compete on equal terms with
those manufactured In countries where
costs OF production, already low, were
still further reduced through depre-
ciated currencies. And II we were to
apply this thought to all American in
dustry the number Of workers affected
would be appalling
Held No Exaggeration.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to
state that the protection afforded by
the tariff law has been major in
fluence in keeping the United States
from the depths Of a depression that
would have made everything we have
suffered appear to be, from national
point of view, almost insignificant"
He asserted charges that the admin
istration's tariff policy was responsible
for the decline in this countrys for
eign trade have not been substantiated
AS to the leadership Of President
Hoover, the speaker said: Some day,

story Of what has been going on IN the
White House during the last three
years. 1t will be the story of a fight
ing man. Never in the history Of
the world has the head Of ration
been confronted with such an economic
crisis. Yet, quietly. effectively and con-
fidently. often facing the harshest crit
icism, he dealt with each problem as
1t arose. We may be thankful that
our leader has been the sort who acted.
rather than talked about what ne was
going to do"
Improved Business.
With reference to improved business
conditions, Mr. Chaplin said:
IF I may give you a suggestion as
to the future, here it is, for whatever
it is worth. As business improves, do
not abandon the principles Of sound
cooperation, along legitimate lines. I'm
der which you have recently made so
favorable beginning. And do Lot for
get the lesson that YOU yourselves have
been teaching to many ether less pro-
gressive industries, that a proper re-
fationship between consumption and
production is essential to business
