GUT EXPENSES,
. BYRD s PLEA
To B. Of |.

picturing heavy taxation as be
ing the root of most Of the eco
nomic evils of the nation, Rear
Admiral Richard e. Byrd told
members of the Washington Joard
Of Trade last night that Federal
expenses must be cut if the coun'
try is to survive.
Byrd particularly criticized vet
erans' legislation. He stated:
"The majority of the veterans
are thinking straight, but there
ID a minority that does not
understand the gravity Of the
demands or that the country
has its back against the wall
and is fighting an enemy more
dangerous than il faced on the
fields of France. If the present
laws are not changed, Uncle
Sam will go bankrupt"
Byrd represented the National
Economy League which, he said
has as it's object the protection OF
''local, State and Federal law
makers from the selfish minorities
who now have those II wmakers al
their mercy"
The meeting, held at the May
flower Hotel, was also addressed
by w. w. Wheeler, who outlined
detectives of the Community
Chest drive next week; c. Melvin

tomac Electric Power Company's
projected development on Buz

G. @. p. PLATFORM GIVES
ATTENTION TO PROBLEMS

something congress, under the prod
OF lobbyists, already had accom-
plished. To take care of the actual
reduction of rates caused by de
preciated foreign currencies, the
platform suggested an investigation
by the tariff commission to con-
slider compensating increases.
General advocacy of surplus con-
troll plans for the relief of agricul-
ture is tempered by the structure
these must be economically
sound which outlaws the equali-
zation fee and debenture plan thus
characterized by the administration
Further tariff protection for the
farmers produce also is promised.
The platform warmly praises
President Hooyers foreign ventures,
particularly the administration
lust balance" in handling the
delicate JapaneSe-C Chinese crisis.
It endorses the recently an
nounced principle that this gov
ernment would not recognize anv
situation, treaty or agreement
brought about between Japan and
China by force and in defiance OF
the covenant Of the Kellogg pact
as IAN important contribution 10
international law" and "a new path
way to peace and order
Hoover Praised
President Hoover is praised for
his disarmament endeaVors in the
platform, which points at the cur
rent Geneva conference, but the
platform warns that our own navy
should not be reduced below those
of other nations and adds that The
army has reached the irreducible
minimum consistent with the self
reliance, self-respect and security
Of this county"
The party repledges itself to en-
trance into the world court, which
three Republican Presidents have
, been unable to secure from an
apathetic senate, but very carefully
warns against any alliances abroad
without even whispering the name
of the League of Nations.
The party takes an important ad-
vance position in the field of public
utility regulation by advocating
regulation of interstate power trans
mission by the federal power COM
mission, thus joining the multi
millionaire Sen. James Couzens OF
Michigan.
