FIRST FINES TO

CODE VIOLATIONS

ITIAL PROSECUTION; GAso-
LINE STATIONS BROUGHT
BEFORE GOVERNMENT

BROOKLYN, Dec. 1.-The gov
eminent won its first criminal
prosecution for violation of the
NRA code today when the prop
critics of the Hercules Gasoline
Stations entered guilty plea.
The corporation heads, David
Lind and Moe Levin were each
fined 500 and the corporation was
fined 5000 by Federal Judge
Clarence Galston.
The Indictment handed down
November 16 was the first to be
returned By grand jury any
where for an NRA code violation.
1t charged nine violations of
the retail gasoline code. The to-
tai fine might have been $13,500
but the Judge lightened the SEN
tence because of the plea and
promise from both that they were
ready to conform to the conditions
of the code.

three times before fancy finally
wrote the order. A hostile sem
ate, friendly to Henry Clay, voted
to censure the president.
The gaunt old general, still suf-
fering from wounds received in a
duel and from general debility as
a result of his military service,
held to his course.
The bank difficulties. and the
"specie circular" of 1886, coupled
with government financial trans
actions. led to the panic of 1897.
The "specie circular" represented
Jackson's "hard money" policy,
because it required the payments
for public lands to be made in spe-
Gle, and was therefore a drastic
curtailment of credit in the west.
But despite the clouds that were
gathering in 1886, the people
elected Jackson's chosen successor,
Martin Van Buren,.

Johnson Heard Relative
To Imposing OF Codes On
Two Important Industries
Telephone And Aluminium
Concerns Are Ones Re-
ferred To In Statement
Made
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. -
Hugh Johnson today told
newsmen if necessary ne
would impose NRA codes,
containing only labor provi-
sions, on both telephone and
aluminium industries.
At a press conference the
NRA chief said Il don't want
to impose any code except on
labor provisions, wages and
hours, but if / have to on
that / will"
This was his explanation of how
he would deal with the telephone
company situation if forced to
do so by the refusal of the concern
to subscribe voluntarily to the
code.
The Bell Telephone company, a
subsidiary of the American Tele-
prone and Telegraph company has
submitted code to the NRA.
Johnson today was not clear as
to whether Gifford's position in
volved only the holding company
on the entire system.
Walter Clifford, president of the
American Telephone and Tele.
graph company wrote Johnson a
letter saying his concern did not
want to come under the code be-
cause it was non.competitive in
its character.

Money Battles That Made History
Hard Money jackson Versus The u S. Bank

By CARL c. CRANMER
(By Associated Pressl


(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. l.
The demand for more cur
rency had a great deal to do
with the money battles of
Andrew Jackson, whose con-
test with Nicholas Biddle
and the second United States
bank which he headed is
historic.
His fight would be comparable
today to battle royal with "Wall
Street" His brain trust" then was
known as the Kitchen cabinet, +"
composed mainly of journalists and
personal advisers who originated
many of the tricks of the trade
in politics as practiced today.
A lizard Money" Man
Jackson prided himself upon be-
ing a ''hard money" man, and on
his tours about the country made
a show of the silver, rather than
paper, with which he paid his ac-
counts. However, the "conserva-
tives" were allied against him.
But Jackson was convinced the
bank was meddling in politics, and
moreover that it was unsound for
government deposits.
81 tell you, sir, she's broke
the banks broke and Biddle knows
it." he once exclaimed.
Seeds of the revolt against the
bank lay in credit expansion dur
ing the war of 1912, and the in
flationary effect of the govern
ment's easy credit policy toward
selling public lands in the rapidly
growing west.
State Bank Issues Copious
State banks, issuing bank notes
with little hindrance from state
law, helped to supply the need
for credit and currency, Calhoun

BUDGET WILL BE
GREAT issue AT
NEXT CONGRESS
OLD CRY OF BALANCED BUD
GET WILL NO DOUBT BE
RETURNED TO FLOOR DUR
ING DISCUSSIONS
(By HERBERT PLUMMER)
ti,y Assoc,ntesI I,ressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-one
of the first bombs to explode in
the approaching session of con-
gress will be. perhaps, when young
Lewis Douglas, director of the
budget, sends up his budget for
the fiscal year of 1885.
The familiar old cry of a balanc-
ed budget doubtless will be heard
from the republicans. It was
raised against the present admin
istration at the close of the spe-
cial session.
Rep. Bertrand Smell, the repub-
lican leader in the house. charged
the democrats with keeping two
sets of books.
Zone set" said Smell, "is known
as the ordinary budget The 9TH
er set is known as the .extraordi-
nary budget The ordinary bud
get consists purely of operating
expenses. The extraordinary bud
get consists of major expenditures
labeled emergency"
Smell was the target of demo-
cratic big guns for his statement.
Postmaster General Farley de-
|scfibed 1t as "a ruthless and reck-
less exhibition of petty partisan
politics" Byrns. democratic lead
er of the house, said that appar-
emily Smell "disapproved of the
recovered activities"
Different In january
It was limited that some of
SHELLS own colleagues thought his
statement a bit untimely. How
ever, it must be remembered that
way back in June when it was the
general policy of everybody to
! give the administration a fair
chance with its recovery program.
The situation likely will be diff
ferent January 8.
While the democrats freely adj
NIT the budget now is not what
Director Douglas perhaps expect
ed 1t to be when he took over the
job last February, they see no
reason for alarm.
They contend there is no rea-
son to charge the president has
violated his party's platform ''of
federal budget annually balance
ed" or to accuse Douglas of not
performing the job assigned to
him.
The onrush of unprecedented
events. they say, made a change
IN basic policy necessary. and that
the president saw such change
Inevitably had to be made.
Looking To 1885
The democrats contend further
that if the various recovery
agencies live within the funds al
lotted them by congress. it is pos
sible to balance the 1895 budget.
Republican critics scott at this
claim. They point to what they see
as possible avenues for increased
expenditures of federal funds by
recovery agencies. Also, they say
congress- attitude toward appropri-
ating money for such agencies as
public works. for example, can't
be overlooked.
All in all. it looks fairly certain
the liveliest debates in the coming
session win center around the
status Of the federal budget.

once charging them with issuing
$40, 100000 in bank notes based
on only $15,0O0,O00 of specie in
their vaults.
The demand for paper money
was accelerated, too, because the
Mint act of 1892 undervalued
gold at the ratio of Is to l and
little of it was minted because the
new dollars were in demand for
trade with the Spanish possessions.
One of the first results of the
chartering of the second bank in
1916 had been to force the state
banks to contract their note issues
and curtain their loans to get on a
specie basis. The bank also at
tempted to control the note issue
of the state banks. These policies
nearly precipitated a crash in
1919.
Old Hostility
The second bank inherited some
hostility left by the first bank
which had been abolished in 1911.
But most of Jackson's cabinet
was against his plan of withdraw
ing government deposits to the
pet" or state banks. He chang
ed his secretary of the treasury

The young diplomat who goes
abroad enters on his duties with spe-
cial instructions concerning questions
concerning the particular peoples and
government where he is detailed. It
is obvious that there are different
questions to be considered in western
Europe than In Latin-America. Like
wise, they are different in the Near
East than In the Far East. The De-
partment of State, therefore, has d.
vided it's work so that one section
supervises relations with a particu-
lar part of the world where the prob
lens and the people have some COM
mon basis.
To accomplish this end and SIM
plify administration, six divisions
have been created In the department.
They are the divisions of Far Eastern
affairs, Latin-American affairs, West
ern European affairs, Near Eastern
affairs, Mexican affairs and Eastern
European affairs. 1t will suffice to
show the scope of these groups to
point out that China and Japan are
among the nations included in the Far
Eastern division; that all of South
and Central America are included in
the Latin-American list; that Great
Britain and France are among those
under Western European supervision;
that Albania and Bulgaria are listed
as Near Eastern; that Finland and
Poland are termed Eastern European
and that Mexico Is dealt with alone
In one division.
Acting under the general super
vision of the secretary, or the under
secretary, the chiefs of these di-
visions are the direct contacts Of the
foreign service personnel with their
government at home. OF course, in q
time of crisis, the secretary or the
under secretary is kept constantly In
formed of every development, but the
routine guidance of our foreign pol
icy after all is quite generally con-
ceived and executed in those divisions
in conjunction with the diplomat at
his post of duty, be 1t few hundred
miles from washington, such as In
Canada, or In far-away Sumatra.
