FUTURE Of DOLLAR
IS BELIEVED SAFE
Observer Sees Slim Chance
Initiation Will Be Tried
in u. S.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The time has come for clarification
of policy on the future of the Ameri-
can dollar. And there is every reason
to believe the administration is giving
serious thought to such definition as
will be reassuring to capital, which has
begun to fear initiation with an appre-
hension amounting to alarm.
The time has also come for co-ord1na- :
tion of the many different elements OF
the whole economic recovery program.
The N. r. A. activity has been going at
top speed, but public works have been
tagging. Fluctuations in the dollar
have upset price levels and defeated the
best efforts of the agricultural group
to find an export market.
On the whole the significant thing IS
that the situation Is fully understood
and its gravity appreciated by the pow
ers that be. Jrst what course to folloW
at this critical stage is not yet known,
for many suggestions are being debated
in the inner councils of the administra-
ton.
Inflationists' Argument.
BROADLY speaking. there Is choice
for the administration between Souno
currency as promised in the Democratic
platform and unsound currency sucn
as would follow any sudden issuance OF
oreenbacks or say-so money, that Is,
money with no metalnc reserve VI soio
or silver back Of 1t.
on the side of the inflationists, the
argument usually made is that people
who owe money will be benented, the
enormous burden Of debt Will be E1teo
and the sun will shine again IN homes
where the future has seemed TO pe all
clouds and gloom 1t is assumed also
that prices will rise and that this Will
he inspirational and psychological. slim
ulating all along the line.
But the other side of the story is
written indelibly in the pages OF his
tory. Germany and Austria and Russia
and Poland all can testify to what in
f1ation means, for they tired II IN tne
postwar decade. They, too. followed
what seemed to be the line of least re-
sistance. The price level starts upward
with imitation so rapidly that it cannot
be held down. In Germany, 1t went
so fast and marks became SO cheap
that finally it took one hundred bill
lion marks to buy a single copy Of a
newspaper.
Wages and Salaries Lag.
Imitation has always brought demoral-
ization and economic disorder because
wages and salaries never go up as rap
idly as do prices. While it is true that
debtors benefit somewhat, the truth is
they also encounter hardships. Suppos-
ing man has a mortgage of $4,000 and
dollars become so cheap that instead OF
getting S5 900 year income, he actually
gets $4,000 a year instead. He can
pay off the mortgage of 5000 all right,
but he has only $1,000 with which to
meet the expenses of his budget. In
stead of being able to balance that
budget, he finds now that the price of
everything has doubled so his budget
is $4,000 instead of $1,000.
He is no better off because II he
pays off his mortgage in full he will
find himself so per cent &u the hole

"ECHOS FROM MASS MEETING
SPONSORED BY THE SQUARE
DEAL STORES; PLEDGES OF
SUPPORT STILL GOING IN

At the Mass Meeting of the Square
Deal Stores, held last Sunday, Nov
ember 10Th at St. Johns A. M. E.
Church, a copy of the Omaha Guide
and a small piece of blank paper was
placed on each seat. The people was
asked to fill out the blanks with
name and address if they intended to
support the Square Deal Stores.
A number of blanks have been turn
ed in so far. This only goes to de-
monstrate the fact that it pays to
advertise. Let the people know what
you have to offer and what you
handle is just as good and fresh as
can be bought anywhere and just as
cheap, and they will buy, but they
must know first. The Merchant must

country.
Diplomats from Fl Latin-American

ent when Minister Bellegarde an
nounced that he had resigned, and
was quitting the diplomatic service.

to Haiti for signing the agreement Of
August z, and for Haiti allowing it
self to be led into a loan agreement
in 1922 with the National City Bank
of New City, the United States, and
an American negotiator, which loan
agreement has proved a "sore spot"

diately filed notice of appeal.
After the Jury had been selected
and after a short recess, the COM
planning witness, Miss Rae Lee
Jones, took the stand. 1t was brought
out in her testimony that she was
formerly an employee of the Omaha
Guide, and up until the article ap-
peared in "Miss Eyes" was on
friendly terms with c. G. Galloway,
whom she alleged was Acting Editor
at the time Of the publication Of the
copy of the Guide in which appeared
the alleged libelous article and that
she supposed that he was friendly to
her. She denied Of having been guilty

swore that he believed the article,
referred to Miss Ray Lee Jones, was
because he was rs years old, Miss
Jones was SO yrs, and the article
had referred to Rocking the Cradle"

Just why he should connect himself
with the "Cradle" and why he should
be called a "Sheik he failed to say.

four years, and during all that time
had r~efrained from allowing his
"Sheikish' eyes to wander astray in

A MS ARE
co PLETED
COLORED
SCHOOL

Plans have been completed for the
establishment of a colored vocationa
school lear Calvert, and a drive tt
raise funds will be started by Book
er 7. Washington, Jr., who is making
an effort to establish in Texas 8
school similar to the one built anc
conducted by his father.
Young Washington after making 9
survey of the state, has decided that
Calvert will be the best location fol
the school, and Monday a group OF
Calvert business men decided to un-
lerwrite a guarantee that Calvcr
will contributed a 2OO-acre site and
$1,000 in cash if Washington is able
to raise funds for the buildings and
to begin the school.
The promoter of the school has
met several times with Calvert bust
ness men, and stated that his plans
are for buildings and improvements
costing about 100000. He added that
a number of friends Of his father,
now deceased, and friends of Negro
education in the North and other
sections of the nation would contri-
butte to funds to build this school.
He evidently has we'll laid plans
and prospects for the completion of
the project appear to be good.
The school would, as did that of
the original Booker T. Washington
who became nationally known by his
practical work with his race, lean
strongly to vocational and practical
training, rather than literary educa-
ton.
Those who understand the situa-
ton of the Southern Negro agree
that the most promising field for his
education is along lines proposed by
this school. AS is the case with the
white race, there are a surplus Of the
Negro school teachers and others
who desire to make a livelihood
through the use of a literary educa-
ton, but there remains much ground
to be covered in making members of
this ace more efficient farmers,
tradesmen and craftsmen, and edu-
eating the women in home economics,
etc.
Tentative plans are for locating
the school a few miles north of town
on the Calvert-Marlin highway, and
completion of the project would add
a material asset to Calvert's finan-
cial and business resources. No de-
finite time for raising of the funds
has been fixed, but it is expected that
this will be accomplished within the
next year.
The principal factor leading to the
decision to attempt to establish the
school in this section was he fact
that this is the center Of one Of the
largest Negro population Of the
state, and the practical and under
standing relationship between the
two races which has been established
here.

INDUSTRY OFFERS
PLAN OF RECOVERY
Administration Leaders Study
Manufacturers Associa-
tion Proposal.
Leading administration leaders said

Leading administration leaders said
yesterday plans designed to bring about
complete control of industry through a
national commission following close'y
the policies Of the old War Industries
Board, have been submitted to them
for study by members of the National
Association of Manufacturers.
Secretary Of Commerce Roper said he
received a copy Of the proposal. He
declared that If he found the plans con-
tanned merit suficient to be placed be-
fore President Roosevelt he would sub
NIT them to the White House. The
proposals we're also being studied by
Raymond Moley, Assistant Secretary OF
State
Secretary Roper said members OF the
assoc: :ation are endeavoripg to have the
administration srCnsor the proposals by
introducing legislation to be entitled
the National Industry Recovery Act. p"
Inasmuch as the proposed legislation
would be a substitute for the admins
trations industrial control amendments
to the Black bill. Secretary Roper said
he was of the opinion that it would not
make any headway.
Plan Not Rejected.
However, the cabinet officer did not
reject the plans. He said he hurriedly
read the copy submitted to him and OBJ.
served that it contained many good
points to further industrial recovery.
At the same time it was learned that
the proposal was not new to Moley, he
having received a general outline OF the
plans a short time ago. It was reported
that he had given the original program
his endorsement.
The program was circulated amcng
administration leaders Friday night
after the association had gone on record
against the Black Bill amendments on
the ground they express policy un-
sound in principle and unavoidable IN
practice"
The association. at the same time.
took no action on the National IN
dustry Recovery Act" but voted favor.
ably on a proposal to revive President
wilson's Defense Council. The asso-
ciation will launch a campaign immedi-
ately for revival of the wartime
measures.
Beard of Seven Members
Roper said the program called for a
board of seven members headed by the
Secretary of Commerce and the Secre-
tary of Labor. The five other members
are to be representatives of labor. COM
merce. finance, agriculture and the
general public.
The plans call for formation Of tn
dustrial and trade associations to work
with the national board to correlate
production with demand, establish
prices of commodities at fair levels and
stabilize markets. They also call for
a vast program Of public works. This
is suggested as means toward the re-
storation of purchasing power to the
consumer

completed plans to send special rail
message to Congress this week.
Chairman Dill of the Commerce Com
mittee said hearings will open as soon
as he receives the Presidents plan,
which will propose reorganization CT the
Nations railways under a Federal CO.
ordinator with broad powers.
Strong opposition to the general prin-
ciples of the Chief Executives proposal
already have been expressed by the
Railway Labor Executives Association
This group has asked Dill for a hear
ing.
That the Senate group intends to ex-
pedite action, however, was indicated
by Dill, who said he believed hearings
on the program would be completed in
three days. The first witness will be
Joseph b Eastman, interstate commerce
commissioner who has been mentioned
for the coordinator post.
The effect of probable rail retrench-
ment policies on labor will be In
ouired into in detail by the committee.
Dill warned that all of the proposed
economies must not come out OF labor.
Some of the economies must come
out of the high salaries of officers and
the big capital structures of the COM
panies," Dill said.
Several other members supported this
view informally expressing the opinion
that the interests of labor should De
specifically safeguarded to prevent an
increase in the unemployment problem.

HOUSE TO FORCE
INITIATION VOTE
Democratic Leaders Confer
to Speed Farm Bill
Amendment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Democratic leaders Of the House an
nounced last night that they would
seek tomorrow to force vote on the
Senate-approved initiation amendment
to the farm bill and speed the meas
ure to the White House.
Speaker Rainey announced the deci-
sion after conference with party lead
ers to map the strategy Of the move.
An involved parliamentary situation
confronts the measure, since any ac-
ton taken Immediately must be
through unanimous consent.
II q single objection should block
House action tomorrow on the 1nf1a-
ton rider, it became apparent that the
Democratic chieftairs might be forced
to use their huge majority IN an effort
to force it through.
Would Go to Conference.
Should there be no objection, lead
ers plan to send the bill Immediately
to conference with the Senate for an
adjustment of differences. When that
has been completed, they propose to
move to instruct House confereeS to
If an objection were made, stopping
| temporarily the effort to send the bill
| to conference, House leaders then could
move to suspend the rules and take that
action anyhow A tWo-thirds majority
would be necessary for that maneuver
to succeed.
In the event leaders decided they
could not obtain the tWo-thirds neces-
sary to suspend the rules, special reso-
| luticn could be brought out by the
Rules Committee sending the bill to
conference and instructing the con-
| ferees. This resolution could be adopted
by ma ajo-ity vote Tuesday, but if pre-
sented tomorrow it also would require
a two-thirds ma jority.
| Democratic leaders must be ready to
shift their plans at a moments notice,
! since Republican opposition to their in
itial moves would require altered tactics.
Plan Early Action.
Meanwhile, administration officials are
/ laying plans to put the price lifting fea-
/ lures Of the farm bill into action at the
/ first possible moment, and to utilize the
! inflationary provision to be made pcs
sible through the rider.
! Secretary Wallace has been in con-
ference with those who will help him
administer the bill, the swift advance
of the planting season probably will re-
quire him to alter his original intentions
for the relief program.
