BY the Associated Press.
DEROIT, August 4.-Roy D. Cha
pin, always primarily a salesman and
always an optimist, intends to sell his
optimism to America in his new posi-
ton as Secretary Of Commerce.
Mr.. Chaplin, on his return here from
Washington. where he accepted the
appointment to the cabinet yesterday,
declared there is no doubt that the
depression has run its course" and
that the job now is to unleash the
buying power"
While giving no details as to his
program In the national administra-
ton Mr.. Chaplin made it plain he will
work toward bringing about an i'm
provement in commodity and general

Feeling Is Optimistic.
There can be little dispute that to-
day there is a general feeling of opti-
mism in the air." he said. 1T appears
that the depression has run its course,
and the upturn has come. There is
no doubt that the United States has
a large volume of buying power lying
unusued. held back by public caution.
Buyers have been afraid to spend their
money. The job is to unleash the buy
ing power.
The President told me that he felt
enough power has been given the ad-
ministration and its subdivisions to
bring about distinct improvement in
conditions in the country.
He asked me to come to Washing
ton and be a part of his organization
endeavoring to utilize the facilities that
have been placed at his disposal to
bring back commodity prices and help
raise the price level generally. I feel
if that occurs buying will start con-
fidence will return throughout the land
and we Will be on the road 10 better
days"
PrOmates Buying Power.

bile industry devoted much attention
to mass production, Mr.. Chaplin always
has emphasized the necessity of mass
distribution, with full use made OF the
Nations buying power. Friends ex-
pected him to conduct an intensive
national campaign along these lines as
soon as he takes over his duties as
head OF the Commerce Department

neying him.

Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, August 4-The cabinet met
today to consider the political violence
that has continued in various parts Of
the Reich despite the political truce de-
creed by President Won Hinaenburg.
The meeting came a few hours after
the Rightist press had intimated
serious break between Chancellor Franz
Won Papen's government and Adolf
Hitler was in prospect because Of the
recent bloody riots.
1t was not known what was discussed,
but the Ultra Rightist organ Boersen-
Zeitung said the government was con-
sidering a smashing emergency decree
to end the rioting, in most OF which
Hitler's naZiS and storm troops hao
part.
The entire cabinet with the exception
of the chancellor and the powerful de-
Tense minister, Gen. Kurt Won Schleicher,
who were on vacation, participated IN
the discussion.
Riots Cost 100 Lives.
Meanwhile disturbances, which have
cost well over a 100 lives in the last
few weeks. continued. At Munich the
riot squad was called out three tunes

dynamite arms and fuses were discov-
cred in an empty well at WilhelmShorSt,
near Putsdam. A NaZi arms dump was
uncovered at Gleiwitz, and similar
dump traced to Communists was found

The press intimation of Hitler-Von
Papen break was coupled with evidence
that Hitler was spreading his organl-
zation efforts into other European
countries and planning a powerful Nor
die European alliance.
That the decree would meet pro-
test from Hitler's forces was indicated
by William Kube head Of the powerful
Nazi delegation in the Prussian diet.

BUTLER LAUDS
REPEAL PLANK
Praises Democrats Direct
Stand on Liquor.
BN LMitcd Press

By UHitcd Press
PARIS, June 30.-The Democratic
platform stand on prohibition was
hailed as clear cut, definite and di-
rect by Nicholas Murray Butler in
statement today.
He did not say whether he would
support the Democrats, but in a
written statement declared:
1T is clear to me that there is
an overwhelming sentiment that the
police power of the states be re-
stored to them and the liquor traf-
flc brought under effective control
and subjected to a tax"
The fifth section, urging modi1ca-
ton of the Volstead law, is sound
in principle, he said, but he feared
it would cause the federal govern
ment to interfere with states rights.
However, it is good election STRAIT
egg, he said, because it will enable
the Democrats to promise the farm
er an outlet for his grain and guar
antee the removal of many of the
new nuisance taxes through the
new revenue on beer.
"One perfectly clear inference
from the work of the two conven-
TONS" he said, sis that the hand
writing is on the wall and the
eighteenth amendment fortunately
Is doomed to early repeal"

CHICAGO, June 30.-William
Gibbs McAdoo, who was secretary of
the treasury in the cabinet of Presi-

ton Of bank depositors before the
Democratic national convention to-
day.
1T is to this party to which the
people must look for protection, 3"
McAdoo said. I'VE should protect
by legislation the men and women
of the United States who are COM
PEELED to place their money in banks.
Unless they can feel that they are
safe, then the inevitable conse-
quences will be what we have had
in the last few years, when more
banks than ever before failed"
McAdoo emphasized that his
plank did rot provide for federal
guarantee of bank deposits.
IF you will give careful thought
to the matter I have presented here
you will find there is nothing in it
that contemplates a federal guar
antee, but it leaves to the congress
the enactment of measures to carry
out this plank" he said.
Il want the party to go on record
now that it will enact measures
that will make bank deposits safe
throughout the United States, not
only in the interests of the depoS-
itors themselves, but in the interest
OF stockholders and officers of banks
as we'll"

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Senator
tor Morris Sheppard Dem, Tex ,
co-author of the eighteenth amend
ment, announced here today he
would vote for submission of the
question of repeal. unless directed
otherwise by referendum in his

Il shall vote for the submission
of the question of repeal, unless the

mary in Texas on this subject in
July results unfavorably to sub
mission" Sheppard said in COM
menting on the Democratic prohi-
bition plank. Another qualification
so far as my vote is concerned, is
that the tendency of the amend
ment involving the question of re-
peal must be limited to a definite
number of years, as was the case
with the eighteenth amendment.
IF the question Of repeal is sub
mitted to the states 1 shall oppose
repeal when my state takes up the
matter of determining its attitude.
While l shall vote to submit, I am
opposed to repeal
Il shall oppose any increase in
the alcoholic content of beverage
liquors banned by the Volstead act
while the eighteenth amendment is
in operation, because 1 regard such
a measure as either a direct viola
ton of the Constitution or a de-
struction of enforcement. In either
case, respect for my oath to sup

(Uyri+tay, for Trpitad prace1

CHICAGO, June 3O.-The Demo-
cratic platform has been presented
to the convention. 1t is a marvel
of brevity-concise and free from
ambiguity. No citizen can fail to
understand the principles for which
the Democratic party stands. This
generation has not seen a platform
of any political party more clearly
and unequivOcally drawn.
The real demonstration was re-
served for the plank calling for
out-and-out repeal of the eighteenth
amendment and modification of the
Volstead act to legalize light wines
and beer.
There is no mistaking the senti-
ment of this convention and the
people now will have the opportun-
ity to vote upon the clear-cut issue
of repeal.
Only time and the vote on Nov. 4
will tell whether the people of this
country will indorse the Democratic
party stand. They may find that
after their jag is over there may be
a headache. There are millions of
sober citizens who believe that many
economic issues are more important
than the liquor question.
To my mind the most important
plank in the entire platform, so far
as the economic conditions of the
country are concerned, is the third
plank on currency.
1t pledges the Democratic party
to call an international conference
t oconsider the rehabilitation of sill
ver-that is, to consider the resora-
ton Of silver to its monetary func-
ton.
The question of bimetallism is
basic and fundamental.
In increasing numbers, economists
and f1nanciers the world over are
being forced to the conclusion that
until silver is remonetized and its
value increased, until the purchas-
ing powers of those countries on a
silver basis is boosted, there can
be no recovery of the business
world.
The plank offers more hope of
relief to the American people than
all the rest of the PLATFORM put to-
gether.

Roosevelt appears.
The Roosevelt people have two
things in reserve. One is the band
wagon pull, and the other is the
vice. presidential nomination.
Insisting that the New York
Governor will get from $50 to $40
votes on the first ballot, they main
tain that will start a stampede in
his direction.
Should these tactics fail, they ex-
pect that an offer of second place
to Garner. White, Ritchie or pos
sibly some other 'favorite son" may
give them enough votes to put him
over.
1t boilS down to this:
If Roosevelt does not smash
through on an early ballot, he is
unlikely to win at all.
If his first vote overawes the
allies and their concealed rein
forcements, the nomination is within
his praSD.

Roosevelt apparently has made
no great gains through trading

thirteen instead of the original es-
