RECORD ACHIEVEMENT

Senator J. Robinson, of Arkan- sas, chairman of the Senate bank ing committee, following an early White, House conference after the Congressional session, broadcast a message in which he explained the days legislative action in Con- greSS.
 In part he said the administra- tion has been and is working day and night considering various plans to bolster the economic sit uation and put America back on the road to good times. He believ ed that what the Senate accom- blished yesterday was without par allel in American history. A com plete reorganization was effected in record time; the emergency banking bill was introduced at 1:30 o'clock and at 4:30 the com mittee reported the bill to the Sen ate. Partisanship was forgotten and within six hours after intro duction of the bill, it had passed both Houses, a record achievement.
 The banking program is expected to rebuild the nations financial situation and throw a protective ring around the nations gold sup ply. President Roosevelt, in less than a week, has made history and probably saved Americas fin ancial structure. He will be listed with Americas imnlortals.
 Banks all over the country are ready to open at a moments no- tice on a normal basis but a sec ond proclamation was necessary in order that the administration be given more time to devote to the entire program.

GOLD BEGINS TO FLOW BACK INTO
 HANDS 0F PEOPLE
BIG FINE AND IMPRISONMENT FOR BOARDING, SPECULAT-
 ING GOLD

WASHINGTON, March 10, In the economy bill, Senator Robinson disclosed, the President later on plans half-billion bond issue for emergency and human relief.
 A second Presidential message is looked for today, Friday, which is expected to unfold his economy plan but no one would venture to say the measure would be run thru Congress like the bank bill which was unseen by most of the mem bers of Congress and unread by more than a dozen.
 When and how the new currency will be spread thru the country, is among the paramount questions for Treasury officials.
 The new measure says that a person may be fined S1O,OCO or put in prison for 10 years for hoarding or exporting gold.
 Gold began yesterday flowing back into the peoples hands and back to banks and is expected to continue to relieve the situation
 The metal burned fingers today as scared cOnsciences stung hoard CTS into sudden action and thous- ands all over the country surrend- cred gold to banks to purge them selves of the yellow stain which the government decreed would be passport to prison.
 NO LONGER USEFUL
 The country has more gold than any other country and about one third or all the gold in the world which would nave been more than adequate if it had been protected and permitted to function normal ly, but it was being drawn out of Federal reserves where it backed "our currency and put where it was no longer useful save to indivi- duals."
 The new proclamation means that for the time being banks can do only what they have been do- ing the last few days to prevent food shortages or keep people from going payless.
 Five out of every six banks in the United States can be properly listed as sound banks.
 Passage of the banking bill was never in doubt and it was passed by the Senate by vote of 73-7; it then became the law of the land in 30 minutes.

Hailed by Nazis' Chief in
Reichstag Peace Speech

BERLIN, May II (L.N.S).
Chancellor Adolf Hitler this
ftern oon announced Ger
many's acceptance of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's disarmament
proposals in a Reichstag
speech marked by it's con-
ciliatory tone.
He agreed to proceed toward
disarmament along the lines sug-
tsEested at Geneva by Prime Min
| lister Macdonald of Great Britain,
whose disarmament proposals
were recommended to the world
yesterday by the American Presi-
dent.
He further expressed willing
ness to accept the United States
as guarantor of world peace under
any new security arrangement.
Constructive Offers
While he said Germany would
not hesitate to withdraw from
the League of Nations if she is
held down as constantly de-
famed nation" Hitler expressed
the hope the world would realize
the justice of Germany's equality
demands.
His speech contained two con-
structive offers:
First, to dissolve the entire
German army and destroy all
it's arms if the other nations
will do likewise.
Second, to cooperate with
others in achieving disarma-
ment through the Roosevelt,
Macdonald and MusSolini plans,
provided Germany is granted
equality.
In the latter event, Hitler said,
Germany is willing to reorgan-
ize her army within five years
in accordance with the Mac
Donald program and dissolve her
auxiliary police before the end
of 1888.
Let Others Do Likewise
While demanding complete
equality for Germany with the
other nations of Europe, Chan
cellor Hitler insisted this need

Gas long as the others are
unwilling to fulfill their treaty
obligations, Germany must be
conceded at least equality"
Germany is sincerely thank
full for the plan of President
Roosevelt. Germany is ready
to cooperate as world recon
StructiOn is impossible with
out disarmament"
Germany has no aggressive
aims. She is ready to join in
any new nOn-aggreSSiOn pact"
"She Germany is ready to
recognize the United States as
a guarantOr Of peace"
Germany will never ratify
an agreement eternaliZing her
defamation. AS a constantly
DETAINED nation we would no
longer be a member of the
League of Nations"

Offer; Let's Have Union
Wages, Their Plea

President Roosevelt's offer
of reforestation work to
World War veterans was re-
jected today almost unani-
mously in resolution passed
by delegates to the bonus
army convention a few min
utes before the session was
adjourned for lunch. ....
A stormy demonstration pre-
ceded the final vote as one. of
the veterans took the floor a1rging
all veterans to accept the plan.
He was finally booed down by the
1900 veterans crowded into the
Washington Auditorium. After
the vote was taken, George Al
man, one of the committeeman,
said:
eff President Roosevelt wants
refo,cstratiOn, let him pay union
wages"
This statement was met with
louds cheers and applause.
Arrests Investigated

chairman of the convention, to-
day said that Representative
Lundeen of Minnesota, was in
vestigating the arrest of scores
of veterans en- route here IN Okla

journs next Monday. He predicted
that call would be broadcast
throughout the country for large
numbers of veterans and unem-
ployed men to come to Washing
ton in the event some relief is
not provided for the men during
the convention. Castner said:
"There are now 1000 men in
Oregon ready to come to Wash
ingtOn at this moment. One call
from me would bring $4,000.
If something is not done for
us at this time, we shall stay
in Washington until relief
comes"

motion today that his suggestion
be put to vote.

MOSCOW, May II G.N.S).
"The Soviet government is wholly
in sympathy with the views
expressed by President Roosevelt
in his disarmament appeal to
the world yesterday" Interna-
tional News Service was informed
in official quarters today.
These views, it was added, CO.
incide definitely with the views
iterated and reiterated by Maxim
Litvinoff, commisSar for foreign
affairs, at Geneva and else
where.
Whole-hearted support of the
Roosevelt program is therefore
assured.
The foreign office, however, did
not consider President Roosevelt's
action in addressing his appeal
direct to Moscow as in any way
embodying recognition of the

Tax Scheme Sought to Give
U. S. $220, 900 Needed
To Float the Project

President Roosevelt today
asked Congress for legislation
which will permit the launch
ing of a $3,30O,OO,O00 public
works program and at the same
time will allow industry, under
Government supervision, to en-
ter into agreements designed to
prevent unfair competition and
disastrous over-production.
The President reported in a
special message that at least
/ $22O,0O0,0O0 of additional revenue
would be needed to undertake
the public works program.
Up To Congress
He did not make specific rec.
concentrations as to how this
money should be raised, leaving
it to the discretion of Congress,
but he did say that provisions
should be made for the reduction
or elimination of such additional
taxes as fast as business i'm
proves, or whenever repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment permits
a restoration of preprohibition
revenue laws.
In asking that industry be en-
powered to orgSeSs.eeze within itself
the President contemplates modi-
fication of the antitrust laws.
He made clear, however, that
they should be retained basically
and that Government supervision
of private combinations be Vigor-
ouSly maintained.
Shorter Work Week
Through enactment of the pub
lie works-industry partnership bill,
the President told Congress he
hoped "to obtain wide re-employ-
ment, to shorten the working
week, to pay a decent wage for
the shorter week. and to prevent
unfair competition and disastrous
overproductions."
In asking for the necessary
machinery for an industrial CO.
operative movement, the President
said:

erIy designed as the means to

ROOSEVELT URGES PUBLIC WORKS PLAN
Message On
Industrial
Control

The tert of President RooSe
uelt'S message to Congress TO-DAY
recommending a public 1orES pro
gram tolloUS::
To the Congress:
Before the special session OF
the Congress adjourns, I re-
commend two further steps in
our national campaign to put
people to work.
My first request is that Cd
the Congress provide for the
machinery necessary for a
great cooperative movement
throughout all industry in
order to obtain wide re-employ-
ment, to shorten the working
week, to pay decent wage for
the shorter week, and to pre-
vent unfair competition and
disastrous overproduction.
Up to Congress
Employers cannot do this
singly or even in organized
groups, because such action in
creases costs and thus permits
cut-throat underSelling by sell
fish competitors unwilling to
join in such public-spirited
endeavor.
One of the great restrictions
upon such cooperative eff
forts up to this time has been
our antitrust laws. They were
properly designed as the means
to cure the great evils of
monopolistic price fixing. They
should certainly be retained
as a permanent assurance
that the old evils of unfair
competition shall never return.
But the public interest will
be served if, with the authority
and under the guidance of
government, private indus
tries are permitted to make
agreements and codes insuring
fair competition.
However, it is necessary, if
we thus limit the operation of
antitrust laws to their original
purpose to provide a rigorous
licensing power in order to
meet rare cases of noncoop-
Grafton and abuse. Such a
safeguard is indispensable.
$3,3OO,OOO,OOO Asked
The other proposal 90 gives
the Executive full power to
start a large program of direct
employment.
A careful survey convinces me
that approximately $3,300,000,-
900 can be invested in useful and
necessary public construction
and at the same time put the
largest possible number Of peo-
pie to work.

Provision should be made to
permit States, counties, and
municipalities to undertake use

possible means of eliminating
