supporters were quietly informed that
they would be punished by being shift
ed from important committees to minor
assignments.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis of
Illinois was elected whip of the Demo-
cratic majority in the senate. and
Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas was
chosen to be senate leader. Also
party authority was made stronger
than it has been for many years. The
caucus agreed that the vote of any fu-
ture caucus upon any measure recon-
mended by the President should be
binding upon all except those who ex-
cused themselves from voting for
cause. 1t was further agreed that
simple majority. instead of the more
customary two-thirds majority, should
make the action of the caucus bind
ing and that two-thirds of the whole
number Of Democratic senators should
constitute caucus.
The caucus further chose Senator.
Kendrick of Wyoming as assistant

Chancellor Hitler of Germany to-
gether on some arrangement that
would prevent the utter breakdown of
the conference.
Sir John Simon said before leaving
London that one Of the first issues he
and Mr.. Macdonald would take up in
Geneva would be the fact that no
other nations had followed Great
Britain's lead in imposing an arms
embargo against China and Japan,
which, as he remarked, "leaves Brit
ain in situation which cannot be al
lowed to continue"
The British recognized that the
financial situation in the United
States might well delay any disarma-
ment action and certainly would cause
postponement of the war debts con-
ferenees.' In the latter matter. how
ever. Sir Ronald Lindsay, British am
bassador, did find opportunity to talk
with President Roosevelt's advisers.
EIRMLY seated in power by victory
l. In the reichstag elections. Chancel-
lor Adolf Hitler now plans to rule
Germany without parliamentary aid for
about two years. His National Social
lists hold about A per cent of the votes
in the new reichstag and the Nation
alists, his present allies, have per
cent. The election passed off quietly
instead Of being the bloody affair the
foes Of the axis had predicted. The
chancellor believes that democracy is
failure in Germany and now has the
legal tools to annihilate it. There
were many indications that the coun-
try is on the way to restoration of the
monarchy. One superficial sign of this
was the rapid disappearance of the
flags of the republic. the flags of the
Nazis and of the old empire being SUBJ
stituted. Hitler, however. feels that
the restoration must be postponed un.
til conditions are improved. and in
this the monarchists agree with him.
An evidence Of the trend toward con-
servatism was the order of Hermann
Goering, NaZi minister without port
folio, suppressing the nudist move
ment.
NIHEN congress appropriated
w $S,440,000 for the annual ex-
penses of the bureau of prohibition
enforcement it stipulated that none of
the money was to be spent on wire
tapping or the purchase of liquor as
evidence. These provisions do not be-
come effective until July l, but Amos
W. W. Woodcock has ordered them In
to effect now, pointing out that ceases
made contrary to them now probably
will be tried after these provisions be-
come law"
The result of the order. Mr.. Wood
cock said, will mean complete
change In enforcement methods and
will cause this bureau to operate al.
most exclusively against the manufac.
turers and transporter of liquor
This, naturally, is good news to the
operators Of night clubs and speak

THREE days after completing his
: L ninth consecutive term in the

of the banking crisis that was par

The other chief points in the legisla-

Continued suspension of gold pay

Continuation of the national bank

That imitation will be the conse-
Quence was a conclusion widely
reached in financial and commercial
circles. with the result that leap up
ward of commodity and security prices
was looked for the moment the ex-
changes reopen.
The act creating the new currency
liberalizes the provisions of the Glass
Steagall act by allowing banks to issue
notes with no gold reserve behind
them The notes thus issued are
backed only by United States bonds in
the same manner as national bank
notes issued by national banks. 1t fur
Their liberalizes section 10a Of the fed.
eral reserve act as amended by the
Glass Steagall act so as to enable banks
to obtain currency on 'liQuid assets"
of character not previously eligible.
One of the effects Of the legislation
will be to produce unified banking
system. Only member banks Of the
federal reserve system are able to
avail themselves Of the privileges af-
f0rded by this legislation to convert
assets previously ineligible into cur
rency. State banks are compelled to
Join the federal system in order to OBJ
tain the funds that will enable them
to reopen.
Another foreseen effect is the weed
ing out of weak banks. Institutions
unable to furnish liquid assets for cur
rency will be unable to reopen. Others
will be able to remain open to the
extent Of their iquidity pending at
least recovery of general public con-
fdence in banks.
Legislation to stop boarding also
was considered by congress and meas
ures for reaching and Furnishing the
hoarders of currency whose withdrawal

seized the nearest carrot, which hap

for home In the dear Old Briar- patch

Green Meadows from Farmer Browns
garden to the dear old briar-patch
and nothing but grass to hide under

with Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote

If it still was daylight. When he

Meadows he sat up for good look. The
way was clear and off he started, lip
perty, lipperty, lip.
But hardly was he we'll started when
he heard a rush of feet behind him
and, glancing back. he saw a black
and-white form dashing out from the
garden and headed straight for him. 1t
was Flip the Terrier. BY chance he
had come down to the garden Just in
time to see Peter leaving it. Perhaps
now he would catch this impudent rab-
bit who hitherto always had been lucky
enough to escape.
Peter dropped the little carrot he
was carrying. Yes, sir, he dropped
that with his first jump. He couldn't
carry anything and run as he knew he
must run now Mrs. Peter would have
to wait until another time for a car
rot. Flip, having reached fun speed
before he was discovered, was danger
ously close to Peter before the latter
could get fairly under way. When he
did he held his own and even gained a
little.
But Peter knew that in a straight
away race the little lead he now had
wouldn't last long. He might be able
to travel faster than Flip for O short
distance, but 1t would be only for a
short distance. Straight ahead was the
