done is to fix the blame. And as Con-
gresS Is supposed to run the country
under the direction of the President
and the newspapers and with the guild
ance of the Supreme Court-what is
mora natural than to blame Congress?
Personally don't believe Congress
Is entirely to blame for the world de-
preston. But. then. neither do I be-
lieve that President Hoover brought on
the world depression. As q matter of
fact, no one. no set of persons, brought
on the world depression Intentionally.
But something caused the world depres-
sion. If we .;;st knew for sure what 1t
was, perhaps we could do something
about it, certainly we would try-and
are trying. Right now the thing is as
bad as the weather, which I believe
Josh Billing once declared no one ever
did anything about it.
However, as matter Of fact. men
do not cause weather conditions. There
Is little doubt but what this depression
Is man-made. And do believe some
thing can be done about it-some things
have been done. Il lot OF things will
have to be done when we do get out
of this one to prevent our tumbling
into another cne In the near future.
A Few Basic Facts.
"Just look at these United States, at
its reople. its natural resources, its
wealth., the material progress it has
made, and then look where we are at
to use an inelegant but perfectly under
standable expression.
Lets start out with few basic facts
before we get down to brass tacks in
discussing the relation Of Congress to
the country. Then look at some of the
effects on our system-or lack Of 1t in
an economic sense-and then look for
some causes. Seems to me that is the
first thing to do In trying to remedy q
bad situation. Figure out the situation,
look for the causes, then search out
solution.
I'VE think of the United States as q
pretty big place. And 1t is. We think
there are a lot Of people in the United
States. There are-some 10000, 900
Of us.
But after all, only per cent OF the
population of this world is in the United
States. Six persons out Of 100, one OF
every 16 in the world, live in these
United States of America.
But let's see what this 6 per cent Of
the worlds population were doing, what
they had, the year before the panic Of
1929 started. I take the following fig
ures from report made by DR.. julius
Klein of the Department Of Commerce.
Evening star., 1932-06-23

US about one year; there Is enough
clothing to last US o year; we have ap-
parently inexhaustible sources OF heat
and light and power. -.
"And in the face Of these facts, with
all this wealth, these commodities. these
things, we have surpluses Of foodstuffs
and breadlines.
I'VE have plenty work to be done
and 10000, 900 unemployed.
Have Plenty Of Gold.
I'VE have plenty of gold-and the
business of the country facing bank
ruptcy; the people facing insolvency,
want, ruin; the Government worrying
about balancing its budget.
"Why this condition?
THAT Is what the people cannot un-
derstand-and when Congress met last
December they naturally turned to Con-
gress for relief.
But this country had some HabiH-
ties, so to speak. that tended to Offset
the assets-the favorable factors we
have been, talking about.
You remember we had q World War
some Is years ago. Between 1914 and
1919 the civilized peoples Of the world
shot away thousands and thousands Of
millions of dollars worth Of property,
of accumulated capital. That capital,
that wealth, was just naturally de-

perhaps I should tell you something
about myself, so you may understand
the background against which my I'M
pressions Of things as they happen to
be today are etched.
Il am a native of Kansas. I started
in business as printer; still carry my
union card. I became newspaper re-
porter, newspaper publisher, then
owner, editor and publisher of farm
papers and magazines.
Economically, my background is
strictly agricultural. Kansas is an ag-
ricultura1 State After two terms as
governor Of Kansas I was elected to the
United States Senate in 1918. In the
years that have followed I have been
associated with the farm group in
legislation pertaining to agriculture:

believe in war. Politically I always
have been a Republican; am now a
Republican,; expect to continue to be a
Republican. am dry, and believe in
national prohibition. Perhaps this
background may explain some of the
views which hold. There are some
who believe they require explanation.
With the additional information that I
am net much Of hand at making a
speech, but am very fond of talking
things over with other folks, I expect
to get away from referring to myself
during the few minutes that you and I
are to spend together discussing the
present session of Congress. II you
don't mind, there will be no speech.
Well just talk things over, as if We
were sitting on the front porch this
warm evening-probably in our shirt
sleeves-and trying to figure what all
this trouble Is about. We may not get
anywhere, but we can get some of our
ideas off our chests.

CAPPER STRESSES
CONGRESS- TASKS
Forum Speaker Points Out
Big Achievements of
Short Period.

Declaring the job faced by Congress
when 1t convened in December was too
big a task to be done in the time al
1otted, Senator Arthur Capper last night
pointed, however, to two accomplish
ments of Congress which he believes
will help the country lift itself from
the mire of depression-passing of the
billion-dolla~ tax bill and defeat of the
soldiers bonus bill. The speech was
made in the National Radio Forum, ar
ranged by The Evening Star and broad
cast over a coast-to-coast network of
the National Broadcasting Co.
Referring to the furlough plan Of
pay reSuction for Government en-
ployes, Senator Capper expressed the
hope that 1t would lead to the national
five-day week and perhaps a seven
hour day.
Confident in Recovery.
development of machinery, in my
Judgment" he said, will require the
whole country going on the five-day
week in industry, perhaps the seven
hour day. Otherwise we will have mil
lions Of unemployed with us, even after
we have recovered from the 6eflation
following the imitation.
Let me add" he continued that
this country will emerge from the de-
preston. We have to much real wealth.
too much intelligence, too much real
strength in resources and in national
character not to recover from this seri-
Gus economic illness But we will have
to learn from this sad experience If this
recovery is to be permanent"
Senator Capper then reviewed the
Accomplishments of Congress. He cited
the establishment of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. which he credited
with saving the Lanking system of the
country from collapse and the reduc-
tions effected If the running expenses
Of the Government.
Asks b. 9. F. to Go Home.
The Kansan, at the close Of his
speech, urged the World War veterans
who have gathered in the Capital urg-
ing the granting of full payment of
their adjusted compensation certificates
to return to their homes.
Il want to pay my personal tribute
to the veterans who marched to WASH
ington urging the cash payment of the
courage, their forbearance, the manly
conduct of that mistaken campaign
AS friend of the veterans, now urge
them to return home; they will do
more harm than good by remaining
And it is just plainly impossible at the
present time for Congress to yield to
their wishes. It would endanger the
financial fabric of the country, already
strained to the breaking point"
The next Congress, he declared,
should attack the fundamentals of the
depression problen1-shculd recognize
the necessity of restoring the purchas-
ing power of agriculture, and should
attack the problem of making our
money medium of exchange, not
commodity to be dealt in and specu-
lated on in the money markets.

He might add the pious wish that
Congress would adjourn and go home

And he would be perfectly sincere in

that way about it. And you and I
cannot blame them. When we look at

The economists said there was

Livestock producers still face large

PARAMOUNT THEATRE

The film career Of Joan Bennett,
who is co-featured with Spencer

the Folk romantic drama, opening at
the Paramount Theatre, is one that
has been filled with crooks and
scoundrels
Bulldog Drummond," in which she
made her talking picture debut, OPP
posite Ronald Colman, offered Joan
her first opportunity to X-ray the
mind OF a gentleman thief. In Three
Live Ghosts she was thrown In with

Gamble" Miss Bennett was drawn
into the dragnet of card sharps and
the foul air of gaming rooms. Grim
inals ran rampant in Scotland
Yard" and to climax career in
metropolitan underworlds she was led
to a racketeer's lair in Hush Money"
"She Wanted A Millionaire" gives
Miss Bennett an entirely different
atmosphere to work in. Millionaires
and high social life lend fitting
background to the intriguing story.
It was while making this film that
the blonde star fell from a horse she
was riding in one of the scenes and
received painful injury, which was
at first thought to be fatal.
For six months and more Miss Ben
nett lay in Los Angeles hospital and
when she had at last recovered, once
more mounted the same horse that
had previously thrown her and in the
retaking of the scene, rode him past
the same hooded cameras that had
made him balk.
Una Merkel, James Kirkwood and
Dorothy Peterson will be seen in sup
port of Miss Bennett and Tracy In
this film which John Blystone direct
ed from the screen play OF William
Anthony Mcclure.
