 These three musketeers of the Hoover administration" Robinson said "scoff at the proposal of the great nominee of the democratic party that the American people be given new deal.
 'They insist on paying the game with marked cards. Plainly there is a desire for a change in the political policies of our govern ment.
 "They go forth by day and by night and deliver bitter partisan addresses, cause them to be insert ed into the Congressional Accord, and attempt by neglect of their duties to control the electors of the nation.
 "one would think that with the treasury deficit, the new tax bill to be administered, and questions of national finance arising, Secre- tary Mills would have enough to A .,k~ aA I~Nz &rses4 r~A xuSh 1tSS duty without abandoning 1t and neglecting his duties to participate in partisan politics.
 agriculture is probably just as well from his post as if he were In the capital"
 Robinson briefly analysed the past three republican administra- tions.
 ''I think it is fair to say" he said, "that the Harding adminis- tration was an era of graft and corruption.
 "The Coolidge administration was an era of mergers and consolida- tions and over-capitalization which have contributed in some degree to present conditions.
 'tThe Hoover administration has been marked by a strange policy a policy to minimize and conceal deficits and to exaggerate estimates of returning prosperity and revenue
 ''Now are put forward new ex- aggerated estimates of revenue"
 Robinson said Success of the Reconstruction Finance corpora fiOu wa a rredicafed on A. balanced budget" but that every revenue estimate sent by Secretary of Treasury Mills to the ways and means committee twas based on the assumption of a 20 per cent upturn in business" k 'T want to point out" Robinson continued, "that the administra- tion has not dealt fairly with the public for three years on this ques- tion of deficits" He contended the administration was seeking 'to conceal deficits in the hope of im- provement,"

 e Therefore, at the meeting of the board of aldermen during the past week a.vote was passed approving "the minutes of the last six months" This brought the board .'up to date'' on the question of adopting minutes.
 The motion at the last meeting of the board of aldermen was made by Alderman Charles Schmidt, g. O., D. leader, following instruc- tions from President Peter Grimm. democratic head of the board, When Alderman Arthur DuBois raised the question as to why the vote concerned the last six months and not the last meeting, specifi- cally, he was quickly shut off. , City Clerk Fitzmaurice. when talked with. admitted that an er- TOT had been made as far as the charter requirements are concerned and explained that the vote passed on Alderman Schmidt's motion was one designed to safeguard the pro. priety of the records of his office.

 Paramount previously had taken two cuts. The first exempted sal. aries under $50 and was graduated from 5 to approximately 20 per cent on larger pay checks. The second was five per cent on salaries under $50.

 The communique issued from 10 Downing street announcing failure of the MacDonald- Devalera con ference said: te..
 "The conversation begun be- tween the prime minister and MI lord chancellor and the attorney general. The situation between tho two countries was considered, but from the position taken np in pub lished dispatches"
 The final break in the efforts to reach a truce was attributed to MacDonalds' rejection of the pro- posal that a commission of two representatives of each govern ment, without a chairman, form a commission to consider Anglo-Irish difficulties. The British have maintained throughout that arbi- tration must be submitted only to an empire tribunal.
 It was understood that MacDof- aid insisted that the Irish continue paying land annuities pending nea gotiations. The Irish refused to this. DeValera continued to keep the annuities, ,>which Ireland decid- ed to withhold, in suspense ac- count in the hope that the question may be settled later.
 Ottawa Conference
 Quebec, Quec, July 16-(UP)-- Results at the Imperial Trade con. ference in Ottawa will depend on conversations between President De Valera and Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald, Sean O'Kelly head of the Irish delegation, said on arrival here to-day.
 "If Great Britain insists on en. forcing the penal duties on Irish agricultural products it does moi seem possible for us meeting in Ot- tawa to arrive at any satisfactory trade agreements with her," he said.
 Trade agreements with some other dominions and ourselves may be discussed. We feel we could develop a greater trade with Can ada from which country we already purchase many products"
 Ireland is a free country. We want independence and we are go- ing to have It," he added.
 He said Ireland was not coming to the imperial. conference with any definite program and that poli- tics was not going to be talked by the Irish delegation.
 "Ireland's ambition is to be a. God intended, and to be free" MI O'Kelly remarked.

committee shall be discharged of further consideration of the Wag- ner repeal resolution.
 Senator Tydings, democrat, N. D., announced that he had boiled the democratic side and that 90 per cent favored submitting the repeal question:.
 A White House conference broke the deadlock on relief. President Hoover informed senators he would not veto the bill merely because 1t contained a stipulation for pulp licity on all future Reconstruction Finance corporation loans. The finance corporation contented it. self with a protest to house lead- CTS who insisted on publicity.
 With that understanding reached the house and senate conferees quickly agreed and the bill is now within few hours of becoming a law.
 The home loan bank bill is hung up on the question of cur- rency expansion. The senate at tached to the bill a rider authoriz- ing an issue of nearly $1,000.000.- 900 of national bank notes backed by bonds. The house has voted to reject the rider.
 Senate leaders believe currency expansion must be abandoned to obtain favorable action. Conferees met last night and again adjourned without agreement.
