5-B|LL|ON LOAN
CALLED KEY To
PROSPERITY

Congress should stay in session
until it authorizes the SIS, ,00O, ,OOO,'
900 Federal prosperity loan for
public works, Mayor James M.
Curley, of Boston, declared yes,
terday.
The plan, the best yet devised
to revive business and break the
back of unemployment distress,
has the overwhelming support of
the American people, Mayor Cur
ley said.
Public works would open up
jobs to war veterans. thousands
of whom, in desperate straits.
have trooped to Washington with
the bonus army to demand as.
s1stance from Congress.
Provide Jobs For Vets
Speaking of the veterans, Cur.
ley declared:
when you find sane and in.
telligent men discussing revolt
and considering it in the Ma
tiOnal Capital. 1t is time the
Government acted. The sooner
the Government acts the better
for the cOuntry-and the action
must come quickly"
All other relief programs pend
ing in Congress are mere drops in
the bucket, and, he added, real
permanent improvement can be
speeded only if Congress cour.
ageouSly launches a colossal build
ing program extending through
out the land.
He declared:
"The $4,000, ,OOO, 900 prosperity
loan would enable the Govern
ment to undertake major build
!. Ing projects all over the cOun-
try. Commerce, industry, buSi-
ness would respond at once.
People now idle would 60 back
to work.
STIMULATE TRADE
There would be q great de-
mand for materialS-SteeI, Ium.
Der, machinery, all the basic
commodities. Factories would
reopen to turn out these ma
GerlalS.
Starting up the wheels Of
) Industry would stimulate trade
for retail and wholesale establish
ments. Not q section Of the
country but would benefit in
Supplying the needs Of the peO-
pie who are at present unable
to purchase commodities that
are necessary - their welfare
and happiness.
ut is incOnceivabIe that Con-
greSS could adjourn without
pFOvidinT this essential relief"
Curley was here for two days
. with the delegation of mayors
which urged Congress and Pres
ident Hoover to approve the pros
perity loan.

SMITH FORCES
PLAN CONTEST
FOR REPEAL
Will Resist Any Roosevelt
Move to Soft-PedaI
Issue in Platform

Determination Of the "ROOse.
velt senatorial bloc" to hold
the Democratic National Con
vention at Chicago to
straight resubmission prohibi-
ton plank encountered OppO-
SitiOn today.
Friends of Alfred E. Smith in.
dicated they would resist any
movement to Soft-pedal the issue
and would insist upon a recon-
mendation for repeal.
The national convention will
be advised by powerful senatorial
influences to adopt plank de-
claring in simple terms for reSub-
mission of the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
This was assured today follow
ing a series of informal con
ferences on the platform, in
which the moderate drys and
vets reached an accord.
Senator Cordell Hull CD OF
Tennessee, who may be chairman
of the platform committee at
Chicago, planned to leave for
Chicago today after having can
vassed the entire platform Situa
ton with Democratic Senators.
Demand Short Plank
The Democratic Senatorial
group, believing that the Repub.
licanS made mistake with their
long plank on prohibition, in,
sisted that whatever the conven'
ton approves be short and to
the point.
Economic issues must be
stressed, however.
An attack on the Hawley,
Smoot tariff law, a call for an
international conference to lower
trade barriers and negotiation of
reciprocal treaties were urged by
the Senators who conferred with
Hull.
Endorsement of the principles
of the Wagner bill, providing for
unemployment relief and stimula,
tion of employment by a public
works program, also is expected.
Robinson, TydingS Agree
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
Democratic leader and dry,
sounded the keynote of Sena-
torial Democrats by saying:
"The plank in the Repub-
lican platform is intended to
be ambiguous. Democrats in
convention at Chicago should
avoid this error and be frank"
Senator TydingS (D.) of
Maryland, one of the most out
spoken vets in the Senate,
advocated the same convention
stand.

"SANER BASIS NEEDED"
Before genuine and ger
manent relief can be accom-
plished, the finances of the
basic industries Of this Nation
must be placed on a saner
basis, thereby removing the
spectre of receiverships and
foreclosures and restoring their
buying power and ability to
employ labor.
international trade must be
re-eStablished by the restoration
Of international confidence and
credits. Honesty among nations
is as essential a virtue as hon.
esty among individuals. An in

no honest effort to. repay is
dishonest; the same applies to
a nation.

row again. The government of
the United States owes it to its
citizens to collect from the
debtor nations to the extent of
their ability to pay, and there
should be no film -fIam accented
as to that ability to pay.
REDUCE GOVT. COSTS"
THE cost of government, CITY.

less than One-third.
The principal obligation NJ
a government, establishes in
accordance with American nr;n.
ciples and traditions, is to pro-
tect all Of its people in the
free enjoyment of the fruits of
their labor, and the pursuit of
happiness. The constantly in
creaSing tendency toward Social
ism and Communism is the
gravest possible menace. The
government should use every
means within its power to pre-
vent their further spread, and
they should receive no encOur-
agement from any American
citizen, high or low"

SENATE COMBS
WAGNER BILL
FOR FLAWS
La Toilette Loan Plan, Tyd-
ings Beer Levy Seek Favor
Of Upper House

Deluged by pleas that it act
Immediately to meet a grave
national crisis, the Senate
plunged today into new details
of the general relief program
sponsored by Senator Wagner
D.) of New York.
Two major efforts to amend the
81, 900, ,000, 900 Wagner bill, provid,
ing for unemployment relief
through loans on Self-liquidating
projects and through a $500, ,0OO,-
900 bond issue for public works,
were awaiting final action.
La Toilette Plan Up
One was the La Toilette amend
ment increasing the total relief
program to $500, 100000. The
other was the 2.75 per cent beer
amendment which Senator Ty-
dings CD of Maryland planned to
offer as a means of raising rev.
enue for public works.
Senators Harrison CD of Mis-
siSsippi and CouzenS (RD of Michi-
gan stood ready to fight for a
provision authorizing several hun
dred millions Of dollars to be
loaned by the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation for use by the
States.
Notice was served by Senator
King CD of Utah that he would
resist any effort to "Unfreeze the
frozen assets of the States"
through a Federal loan program.
Comb Hunts "JOkers"
Following criticisms that it
acted too hastily in. approving the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton act of last winter, the Senate
was in a critical mood as it
combed the Wagner bill for flaws
and "jokerS."
At Kings insistence, the pro-
vision permitting the Secretary
of Agriculture to loan $4,000, 900
for the export movement of farm
crops, with or without adequate
security, was rewritten to require
that ample security be furnished.
A successful fight to eliminate
"quasi-public corporations" from
the list of agencies eligible for
loans on self-liquidating projects
was led by Senator Wheeler Cd
of Montana.
Wheeler, Dill Win
He declared this phrase might
let down the bars to public ser
vice corporations seeking finan.
cial assistance.
Another change in language to
insure that utilities could not
take advantage of the loans was
adopted at the inSiStence of Sen
ator Dill CD of Washington.
The Senate was deaf to plea
by Senator Walsh CD of MaSsa-
chusetts that the 10000, 900 emer-
gency authorization for rivers
and harbors be extended to in
clude projects favorably reported
by the chief of engineers but
not authorized by Congress.

CERMAK PLEADS
FOR CASH AID

Chicago'S tax situation was out

mayor showed Chicago's need as

city, due to the failure to collect
taxes for years back.
The Cermak delegation is seek

bills so that the reconstruction
Finance Corporation can lend
money directly to municipalities

Later today the delegation will
appear before the Finance Cor

Chicago cannot handle its own
relief beyond August l, he said,

BER NOVEMBER!
Which should teach you plenty
about this bonus expedition, II
you've a mind to learn. There, in
a chaWful of words. is the essence
of the whole thing. Their i'm
pudence, their courage, their
shrewdness and patience.
And something else-something
that is giving official washington
the jitters.
Lawmakers Paradise
Nothing more inconvenient could
possibly have happened to official
Washington than this bonus
marchers invasion. For four years
the medicine men on the hill
have been living in wonderland
of their own creation. From afar,
but very family, rumors came
that all was not we'll with the
common herd outside. But, for
the most part, these rumors were
dismissed with a contemptuouS
hand.
BUT NOW THE COMMON
HERD HAS CRASHED THE
FATES!
Here-most embarrassing to
behold-is plain evidence of that
poverty and desolation which the
medicine men have denied.
AND-SUPREME EFFRONT-
ERY-THE RASCALS ACTUAL
LY DARE TO WEAR MEDALS
ON THEIR RAGGED SHIRTS!
This is impossible! Haven't
they any SenSe-showing up, like
this, just now of all times?
Make 'em go way!
Sic EN- Elsewhere!
But nobody can make 'em go
way. Albright thought! We
will arrange with the railroads to
take them home gratis. That's
the least the railroads can do!
Free tickets will tempt them!
So Sc cebody runs quick-gets
free tic,==2ts - comes beaming
around to the camp, and says:
"See, boys, here's transportation
home"
But the boys, sprawling in the
mud, Tightening their belts around
lean ribs welted with old scars,
merely grin and say:
"SEZ YOU?"
"But, really bOys-yOu ought
to be reasonable! This is an
awful place for you to stay"
"HA-Ha! ARE YOU TELL
ING U.s." laughs the B. E. F.
and turns to welcome another
regiment.
So it goes. New camps form
Ing every day-and the whole
country, lining up in love and
loyalty, food. funds and service
behind the boys who fought for
1t in 1917-WHO ARE FIGHT
ING FOR 1T AGAIN TODAY.
1914 Recalled
There was that instance yes
terday. Remember when the
taxi drivers saved the day in the
World War, by rushing the
stranded French soldiers to the
front? History repeats herself
Sometimes-With a Snicker. Yes
terday 100 footsore marchers from
New York struggled into Balti-
more. Forty miles to goP They
were dead beat-couldn't make
tt-dropped exhausted. Out went
the word-and down came the
taXis. And in a whooping, toot-
ing line past the White House,
the vets rode in-in glory.
Did he notice the tooting-that
man who now sits invisible in
white House while the vets are
In the dog house?"
If he did. did he perhaps think
of the days when they all went
out together-and of those words
which another President, Wood
row Wilson, spoke in salute and
farewell?
A little boy named Hudson
Wells sent me that salute yester-
day-from an old vet diary.
Bravely it started:
ITO the Soldiers of the Ma
tiOnal Army:
you are undertaking a great
duty. The heart of the whole
! country is with you. Every
thing that you do will be
watched with the deepest in
terest and. S oil C itude. for

Bravely the words Start-beau-
tifully they go on.
