CHICAGO CALLS
DAWES FROM
DIPLOMACY
White House Statement Says
He Will Go to Geneva;
Ends Political Rumor

Retirement of Gen. Charles
G.. Dawes, as ambassador tc
Great Britain and as chairman
of the American delegation to
the Geneva arms conference,
was dictated by personal and
civic business in connection
with the city of Chicago, it was
announced by the White House
today through Walter H. New
ton, one of President Hoover s
secretaries.
Newton issued the following
statement:
"The resignation of General
Dawes as American Ambassador
to Great Britain was received
with great regret. 1t was the
subject of discussion between
the President and the General
Immediately upon the latter'S
return.
HE has rendered outstanding
service both in his capacity as
American Ambassador and in
several other international mat
terS.
"The specific demands of his
city (ChicagO) are such as to
make advisable his retirement.
He will continue to act as
chairman of the delegation at
Geneva until after they go into
committees to work out the
details, and will thereafter be
available as a member of the
delegation later on in the event
his presence becomes necessary
at the conclusion of their work."
The White House statement was
obviously designed to set at rest
widespread rumors of a rift be-
tween Mr.. Hoover and General
Dawes, and to quiet speculation
that the Generals sudden reSig-
nation meant his possible entry
into the Republican campaign as
an opponent Of Mr.. Hoover's.
CHICAGO, Jan. 9 G.N.SO.
Gen. Charles Gates Dawes, retir-
ing ambassador to Great Britain,
in Chicago today and
spiked rumor that he would be
a candidate for the Republican
nomination. He
said:

SENATORS VOTE
TODAY ON AID
To JOBLESS
$500, 900, 900 for Direct Relief
Asked in Amendment to
Credit Pool Bill

The Senate today was ready
to pass the Administration s
bill for a $4,000, 100000 govern
mental credit corporation-but
not before voting on a 5000
100000 appropriation for di-
rect relief of unemployed.
This relief proposal, sponsored
by Senator Smith CD Of South
Carolina, was attacked by Admin
istration leaders as invoking the
"dole," but it had strong support
from Senators who charged the
Administration bill, as it stands,
will aid only bankers.
The credit corporation bill,
President Hoover said, will stabi-
lie banking institutions, reopen
the frozen lanes of credit, restore
business confidence, and put the
country on the road to recovery.
But, Skeptical Of these assurances,
groups of Senators have insisted
upon including various kinds Of
direct relief for the unemployed.
One amendment, proposed by
Senator Bratton CD Of New
Mexico, would provide for loans
to reclamation, drainage, and ir-
rigation districts. Another by
Senator Ashurst CD Of Arizona,
would allow loans to cities, mu-
inequalities, and even to respon-
sible individuals. Some of these
amendments may prove embar-
RAISING to Senators when votes
are taken.

WIDER POWERS
PROPOSED FOR
COMMISSION
ProgreSSiveS Also Would Put
Limit on World ParIey
About Trade Barriers

"A plan to take the tariff out
of politics was proposed today
by House progressives as the
Democrats prepared to pass a
tariff bill before night.
The progressive plan would
enlarge the powers of the
Tariff Commission by authoriz-
ing it to raise or lower rates 40
per cent, to become effective
unless Congress vetoed the ac-
tion in 60 days.
The plan, adapted from bill
of Representative Lewis Cd Of
Maryland, former member of the
Tariff Commission, was offered
as an amendment to the Demo
cratic bill.
Democrats Confident
Another amendment was pre-
pared by ProgreSsives making the
proposed international economic
conference on tariff barriers a
temporary instead of per-
manent body.
Having beaten off attempts of
Republicans to Sidetrack the
measure, Democratic leaders were
confident they would hold their
lines tight on the final vote and
pick up Republican votes.
The first test vote, on taking
the bill up under the rule, saw
the break of a dozen Republican
Progressives to the Democratic
banner.
G.. o. p. Forces Weakened
: Republican Progressives had
conferred on the measure, but
did not attempt to bind members
Of the bloc.
The Republicans were some
what weakened by the absence of
several members. some of whom
are on holiday junket to
Panama, aboard an Army trans
port.

recognized as Child Health Day.
The boys and girls of today are the
citizens of the coming decade and we

The responsibility for the well-being of
children rests not only in the in

well.
The Child Hygiene Division of the
Minnesota Department of Health is
directing the program for the OBJ
servance of Child Health Day in Mime

urge all the people of Minnesota,
especially those engaged in public and

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1932-04-08

The state auditor, the commission
stated in three separate orders to Com
missioner Cox, is undertaking to sell
public lands and state timber and is
granting leases on mineral lands with
out the consent of the commission.
The conservation body then directed
Mr. Cox to cause appropriate legal
proceedings" to be instituted by At
torney General Henry N. Benson to
restrain Mr.. King from further ad-
ministrating lands and minerals OF
timber.
Because of the failure and refusal
of the state auditor to permit the COM
mission to exercise any control over
expenditure of monies appropriated by
the legislature for mineral lands, the
commission has no present means for
obtaining information through forces
under its control for properly and
conscientiously passing upon applica-
tions for leases of mineral lands be-
longing to the state" the commission
said in one of the orders
The session was called by Mr.. McEwen
following failure of committee, named
by the commission, to obtain an allot-
ment of funds from Mr.. King to carry
out administration of lands and min
erals, a separate division created by the
1881 legislature under control of the
department of conservation.
Earlier in the day, Auditor King as
serted he is not attempting to interfere
in the program of conservation as
planned by the commission but that he
is merely protecting the appropriation
made by the 1881 legislature "specifi-
cally" to his Office.
Kings statement was in answer to
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1932-04-08

an attack upon him by w. E. McEwen,
chairman of the conservation body, in
which the auditor was charged with
holding up the lands and minerals
policy by his refusal to turn over the
funds.
Following creation of the commission
and department of conservation by the
last legislature $157,5OO was appro-
priated for the first year of the present
biennium and $751; 500 for the final year
ending July /, 1888 specifically to the
state auditor although the conservation
commission was given charge of lands
and minerals.
In his statement King said he does
not propose to violate" his oath of
Office by splitting appropriations with
McEwen or anyone else"
Billy McEwen has gone 'haywire',
King said in his statement. mo money
was appropriated by the legislature for
the use of the conservation commission
and Billy knows it. No land policy
of the commission has been held up and
he knows that also.
II have not held up the land policy
of the commission for year or any
length of time. How could I? The
commission has not been in Office
year. Mr.. McEwen was appointed July
l, 1881, John r. Foley, Richard Bailey
and j. T. Williams on the same day.
E. R. Reif was appointed July q, 1881,
eight months ago.
BILLY passes the buck to me: If he
had spent as much time on the land
policy as he has in the hiring and
firing of game wardens in the nom
political subdivision of game and fish,
he might have had a land policy
