AIDS MELLON
DEFENSE
Colombian President Backs
SeCretary's Answer to the
Patman Oil Charqe

Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon received voluntary sup
port from an unexpected
quarter today in his defense
against impeachment charges
filed by Representative Pat
man (D.) of Texas, now being
considered by the House Ju-
dietary Committee.
A. w. Gregg, Melons counsel,
read into the committee record a
cablegram from President Olaya
of Colombia, which substantiated
Melons categorical denial, also
in the record, that he had dis
cussed the Barco oil concession
granted the Gulf Oil Company
and a subsequent loan to Co
lombia.
Gable In Extract
The Olaya cable said in part:
"In the negotiations Of the
bank credit to Colombia neither
the BarcO concession nor any
point relative to petroleum legis.
latiOn was taken into account
in any way.
81 never discussed nor even
spoke with Secretary Mellon
regarding the BarcO concession
nor regarding any matters of
the American government in
order that Colombia might OBJ
tain credit.
"The conversation with Mr..
Mellon referred to in the report
of E. L. TEMPO, of BOgOta, of
August 8, last year, was in the
nature Of general appreciation
regarding economic conditions
in Colombia.
No Hint Offered
"The mention made in it by
the Secretary regarding the pos
sibilities that the petroleum
riches of Colombia offer for its
economic restoration were Incl
dental and 1 considered then
and have considered it ever
since as a mere general opinion
in estimating the elements which
constitute the riches available
for the progress of the country,
but never as a hint or SuggeS-
ton regarding a specicic litiga-
ton. This was the only time
talked with Secretary Mellon
regarding matters referring to
Colombia"

reported out and agreed to.
Representative Woods proposal
for pay reduction of Federal en-
ployes has not yet been submitted
to the Rules Committee, but he
has been advised by Representa-
tive Edward w. Pou, chairman of
the committee, that he should
submit a concrete proposal to
enable the House to consider the
whole question of pay cuts at one
time.
Tried 1t Last Year
Last year Representative Wood
incurerd the enmity of Federal

block proposals for regular in

and is continuing his wage fight
with the more drastic proposal
for reductions in salaries above
$4,000.
Unless opposition becomes more
strenuous than has been exhi-

to force passage of a pay cut
proposal for all Government de-
partments during the two or

taken up by debate on the Agri-

Compromise of House and Sen
ate Views on Hoover Pro-
poSaI Seen Near at Hand

President Hoover's proposed
$2,000,0O0,000 re C o Instruction
finance corporation ap.
preached reality today as
Congressional conferees met to
compromise differences be-
tween the House and Senate
bills.
Two House provisions, permit.
ting rediscount of the corpora.
tion's bonds by the Federal Re
serve System and permitting
loans to "bonafide financial insti-
tutions," provided the chief con-
tention.
Thrown Out BY Senate
The Senate struck both pro-
visions from its bill, charging the
first would undermine the
Federal Reserve System and the
second would load the Govern
ment corporation with all the
bad debts of the privately-or-
ganized National Credit Corpora
ton.
One provision of the Senate
bill, setting aside a special
$50, O,Oo0,0 900 fund for direct loans
to farmers through the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, drew opposi-
ton from House conferees.
The Senate also provided that
in making loans, the Secretary
should give preference to farmers
in those sections suffering from
crop failures in 1881.
Loan Limits Cut
It was the only provision in
either bill that would give direct
relief to individuals.
The House placed a $200,000,-
600 limit on loans to any single
corporation and it's subsidiary or
affiliated organizations.
The Senate cut this limit to
500, 900.
All efforts to include loans to
States, counties, and cities were
rejected.

WAR FOES HEAR
MRS. MORGAN

Abolition of the battleship and
limitation of military aircraft
were urged today by Mrs. Laura
Puffer Morgan, of Washington,
a member of the National Coun-
Gil for the Prevention of War,
in an address before more than
600 women meeting here at the
Hotel Washington for the seventh
conference on the cause and cure
Of war.
Including all varieties of arma-
mentS in her denunciation of the
instruments of war, Mrs. Morgan
declared that the menace of the
war machine which leads to dis.
trust, suspicion and finally com
petition" would be removed if
the world would disarm and if
reserve stocks were limited.
Limitation of reserve ar1na.
ments would delay the progress
of the war machine, she said, to
the end that following the decla.
ration of war, it would take at
least six months to produce
weapons in any quantity.

BUREAUCRAcY'S GROWTH

In q recent magazine article, G. W.
Battley gives some striking illustrations of
the amazing growth of government de-
partments, bureaus and commissions dur
ing recent years. He calls especial atten-
ton to the expansion of the Federal Trade
Commission whose expenditures increased
from $1S4,016 in 1915 to $1,987 1902 in
1881. or more than ten fold
Yet, this commission. which is sup
posed to regulate competition and prevent
violations Of antitrust laws. has no power
to enforce its decisions. More than so per
cent of its decisions which have been tested
in the courts have been reversed, the Iiti-
CATION causing great expense to the govern
ment and to business men affected by these
Unlawful interferences with their rights.
Other Instances of bureaucracy $
growth pointed out by Mr. Battfey include
the fact that the Department of Commerce
increased its expenditures more than 400
per cent m Is years. while the Department
IL Aeficuitures expenditures increased
from SIS. 9I6.22s to $2s6.s65,944 in 20
years, or about 400 per cent
The same general situation exists in
every department Of national, state and
local government. II IS no wonder that
taxpayers throughout the country are or
sanizing to demand relief from the I'M
bearable tax burden which has been placed
upon them.

AGAINST LOCAL FERRIES

A1dViAtS bOlEOWCu pZ,HUU,UUO ITOIH The
Construction Loan Fund of the United
States Shipping Board for the ostensibie
purpose of promoting the foreign trade of
this country, Seatrain Lines, Inc, is now at
tempting to engage in coastwise trade to
the detriment of established sea carriers
same points.
Seatrain Lines, inc, is the same COM
pany that is running ferries between New
Orleans and Havana and has been causing
a decided decrease in handling freight be-
tween Key West and Havana by the P &
O. Company.
Having had two new ships constructed
with the S2,400,000 borrowed from the
shipping board ION the ground that the
vessels would be employed in promoting
the foreign commerce of the United States,
according to Robert w. Malone, represent
ing the Florida East Coast Car Ferry Com
pany, Seatrain Lines, Inc, has applied to
the Interstate Commerce Commission for
the privilege of carrying freight between
New York and New Orleans.
That application was made because
the company, its president declared,
thought the venture would not prove profit
able were it confined to the handling of
foreign commerce.
Mr.. Malone and others, who object to
the granting Of the application, maintain
that it would be unfair and unjust for the
Interstate Commerce Commission to grant
the application in view of the fact that the
company is obtaining government sub
.sidy
1t would be using the government
money by private individuals to fight COM
fnercialIy other private individuals of the
United States who have invested their own
money in enterprises that, at present. are
more than sufficient to accommodate ship
pers between New York and New Orleans.
Should the Interstate Commerce Com
mission grant the application, it would af-
feet adversely, in great measure, the fer
ries that are operated between Key West
and Havana, because, eventually, with the
additional revenue that would be derived
from New York-New Orleans shipments,
practically all freight originating in the
eastern as we'll as several other states for
transfer to Cuba would be sent to New
York for shipment by the seatrains, many
more of which would be built and operated
Among the other DIRECTORS was Will
liam Simmons, traffic manager of the Nor
gan Line, who told the commission that,
during the last year, the volume of freight
between New York and New Orleans had
fallen off five percent, and that, therefore,
there is no need for another service be-
tween those ports.
The Citizen feels confident that the
application will not be granted; it is posi-
tive it will not be granted if fairness and
justice are accorded the railroad and
steamship companies that have invested
their own money (that is, the money of
stockholders, most Of whom depend on
dividends for a iveIihood) in the enter
prises that are capable of handling prompt
ly far more freight than is now shipped be-
tween New York and New Orleans.
