Leadership for Justice and Peace

"The world is calling for leader
ship" Mr.. Green concluded.
"The spirit, courage and vision of
American will not permit this gen.
Grafton to surrender to those over
powering influences which have made
millions hungry in the midst of
plenty.
'The resourcefulness and energy of
American manhood and womanhood
will find way to combat those forces
of evil which have wrought destruc-
ton of human and material values.
The dreams of the fathers of the re-
public and the hopes and aspirations
of succeeding generations must be
realized.
"We must abandon our material
tic attitude. We must become social
minded, realizing, as never before,
that the security of the nation and
the perpetuation of our democratic in
stitutions rests in the people and de-
pends upon the protection of their
rights, the guarantee of their free
dom and the establishment of a ma
tional consciousness that justice and
peace are enthroned and are the con-
trolling forces in the relationship Of
man to man."

CONGRESS
President Back From Coast to
Tackle Problem; Confers
With Cabinet Members

President Hoover returned
to Washington today from his
journey to California.
The Executive arrived at $50
a. m. Within an hour after ar
rival he was at his desk working
on the accumulation of work
that has developed during his two
weeks absence.
Greeted by Curtis
Vice President Curtis, most of
the members of the Cabinet, and
several hundred others congregat-
ed in the concourse of the Union
Station and gave Mr.. Hoover a
cordial welcome.
The President shook hands all
around with his Cabinet members
and boarded the waiting limou-
sine. He appeared cheerful and
glad to be back in the Capital.
Secretary of State Stimson and
Secretary of Treasury Mills were
called to the Executive offices
for conference.
Mills First Caller
The Presidents first caller was
Secretary Mills, who was closeted
with him nearly half an hour.
They discussed the war debts
question briefly.
Mills indicated upon leaving the
White House that the matter is
up to Congress rather than the
White House, as the executive
branch of the Government has no
authority to extend the mora
torium nor to effect revision
downward.
After Mills departed, Everett
Sanders, chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee, saw the
President, as did Henry j. Allen,
the party'S publicity director.
Secretary of State Stimson was
invited to the White House for
lunch.
It is believed Mr.. Hoover can
do little else than reject tie de-
mand of the European debtors
and project the whole question
into the new Democratic admin
istration. which comes into power
next March.
Awaits Roosevelt
There. will be no final deter
mination on this point, however,
until Mr.. Hoover has conferred
with President-elect Roosevelt at
the White House next week,
Mr.. Roosevelt already has
plainly indicated, however, that
he considers the immediate PROB
lem of the December IS pay
ments to be up to those now
in executive and legislative au-
thority" Moreover, Mr.. Roosevelt
intimated he would make no
commitments.

DIVIDEND FEAR
DIPS STOCKS

NEW YORK, Nov. is 0N.So.
Directors Of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company
today declared the regular quar-
terly dividend of $2.25 a share
on the common stock, payable
January Is to holders of record
December 20.
This action had been generally
expected in Wall Street despite
the decline in the company's
business and earnings this year.
Net for the first nine months
this year was only $592 a share
against dividend requirements of
$6.75 share.
The stock market was weighed
down by two dividend meetings,
those of American Telephone and
Electric Bond and Share, and by
decline in steel production for
the week.
Despite the dividend, Telephone
stock was un Ter pressure and
slumped more than 2 points boz
fore meeting support.
U. S. Steel also was sold heav-
lily and declined more than a
point. @
The rest of the market fol-
lowed these leaders as profes-
sionals turned to the selling side.
Pressure lifted early in the sec.
ond hour and a mild rally de-
veloped but the list showed an
unsettled undertone.
A fresh break in Bond and
Share hit its affiliated companies
on the big board and brought q
heavy tone to the utilities.

PINCH0T' 'S.OKAY
Of DAVIS LAGS

HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. Is
GNS0.-While Gov. Clifford
Pinchot declined to discuss what
action he will take, Capitol Hill
buzzed with reports the executive
will issue a certificate of election
to Senator James j. Davis. but
that the certificate will carry a
qualification of some kind.
A Congressional subcommittee
yesterday charged that Senator
Davis had been the beneficiary
of election law violations in Phila-
delphia on November 8.
The reports of a qualified elec-
tion certificate were based chiefly
on the governors own statement
last August when he demanded
Republican leaders substitute an
other candidate in Davis place
because the latter was under sus-
piciOn" as result Of his Federal
indictment on lottery charges.
At that time, Governor Pinchot
said emphatically that Senator
Davis will never be allowed to
take his seat for the full term"

irregularities in the election, and
has complaints from other citi-

REPEAL CAN'T
PUT IT BACK
: INEFFECT
Attorney Believes Abolition Of
/ 18th Amendment Will Free
7 q. C. Traffic in Liquor

] Repeal of the national pro-
Inhibition act would reestab-
lish the liquor trade in Wash
6ngton on a legal basis with
out action by Congress on the
Sheppard law, according to an
exhaustive opinion by a lead
ing Washington attorney.
The attorney was asked for a
aegal opinion on the effect Of
probable repeal by a prominent
local business man.
Questions Asked
This business man asked two
questions which have been the
subject of much contention since
the question of repeal first arose.
The first was:
"Was the local liquor law
Sheppard Law-Act Of March
3, 1917 repealed by the Ma
tionaI Prohibition Act of OCto-
Der %, 1919, so far as con-
Germs the manufacture, trans
pOrtatiOn and sale Of intOxicat-
ing liquor in the District OF
COIumbia?"
The second question:
'Tf not, would repeal of the
national prohibition act revive
the Sheppard act"
In his opinion the attorney
holds that the national law did
repeal the Sheppard act and that
The local law would not be rein
stated by national repeal.
! He says:
BY IMPLICATION
'Tt is we'll settled rule OF
statutory construction that
where q new statute cOnvers

old one, adds Offenses and pre-
scribes different penalties from
those enumerated in the old
i law, the former statute is re-
81 peaIed by implication.
g. Entering into thorough dis
cussion of the prohibition law,
the opinion is expressed that the
Sheppard Act is amenable to this
rule of statutory law and has
therefore been repealed. In sup
port of this view, the attorney
continues:
Several years ago Rob
ert HardisOn, then q Judge of
said Police Court, ruled, in a

i. 5. Seen

One of the first acts of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt as President will
be to order a study of the COM
mercial and political effects OF
recognizing Russia, it was learned
today.
Already friendly to the idea
of Russian recognition, President
elect Roosevelt will investigate
the question to determine its
effects on American institutions
and the expansion of Americas
foreign commerce.
A prominent Democratic leader,
regarded as being in Mr.. Roose-
velt's confidence, said the Presi-
dent-elect was leaning" toward
Russian recognition if such a
course would open new markets
for American productS-without
endangering home markets for
domestic producers. He said a
"clear majority Of Democratic
Senators favored recognition Of
Russia.

Turkey since Josef Stain sent
him into exile more than two
years ago because of his opposi-

however, succeeded in sending
three written questions to Trot-
zky. His replies were character
istic, declaring he needed time to
think out his answers to ques-
tions dealing with political prob

condition was "all right"
The questions were:.
How is your health?

What they mean is that they
could pay us, but they would

money to do it with. And, of
course, a thing as revolutionary

heads. !
Now the big joke is that we
had been loaning Germany all
the money that it paid over to
them, so that they could pay US.
