FAILURE OF ARMS

Hungary Backs Italian View
They Are Futile With
out Germany.
BY the Associated Press.

bg the Associated FreSS.
GENEVA, November 13.-Italy's con-
tention that the present disarmament
conference is futile without the pres
ence of Germany was backed up by
Hungary today.
AS a result, observers said they be-
lieved present negotiations were doomed
to failure in their existent form.
The Hungary Electives Committee
announced it would maintain the atti-
tude Of an observer strictly and Italy
announced it ignored everything ap-
proved by the great powers since July
is, when Germany accepted the original
plan of Ramsay Macdonald of Great
Britain as basis for discussion.
This means that Hungary, like Italy,
deems the conference without Germany
is useless and Italy rejects the London
and Paris agreements and the plan Of
Sir John Simon of Great Britain, which
was submitted the day Germany left
the League.
Meanwhile, today. delegates were con-
centrating on expected proposals from
Chancellor Adolf Hitler of Germany.
1t was reported in German circles that
Hitler will offer France non-aggres-
sion pact preliminary to talking dis
armament from fresh angle.

for believing 1t is accurate.
1t might cause some worry, except
that the machinery now Is functioning

was in the interest of efficiency. Too
much politics was originally involved.
When you compare its record with
the average insurance company doing
the same business the Government
operation stands In a favorable light.
No insurance company was ever eff
cient enough to handle 25 loans day.
The Government is handling that many
now. and will handle more shortly. Its
business is much more complicated than
that Of life insurance companies, be-
cause it must swap bonds for mortgages
instead of cash.
The cost OF operations Is much
higher for the Government than tor
private companies. No one knoi0s
eTactly hon much higher.
Speed was one of the worst causes
Of Government inefhciency at the start.

such hurry that half of their original

AMMANY REPORTED
ASKING FARLEY TRUCE
New York Times Says 0vertures
Are Unpopular Because
Curry Is Leader.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. November 13-The New
York Times says that Tammany Hall
has made .overtures for truce, If not
peace" with Postmaster General James
A. Farley. chairman of the National
Democratic Committee.
The Times adds that indications are
the overture win mot be acceptable
and the Roosevelt faction of the Dem
ocratic party In this State will decide
to go along without Tammany so long
as John F, Curry continues to be its
leader"
The overtures, however, SAYS the
paper, have been interpreted by Mr.
Farleys friends to indicate that Mr..
Curry is not likely to go much further
In his attempt to oust Mr.. Farley as
chairman Of the State Democratic Com
inittee."
The whole situation was coupled in
the story with the appointment of Will
liam B. Riley as collector of internal
revenue for the Albany district. This
appointment says the Times, was made
on recommendation of the O'Connell
brothers, Albany County Democratic
leaders, and marked definitely the al
lance of the O'Connell brothers with
Mr.. Farley and their desertion of Mr.,
Curry" Without the support of the
OConnells, 1t was predicted, Mr.. Curry
would be unable to win a majority OF
the. State Committee away from Mr..
Farley.
Mr.. Curry attacked Mr. Farley's lead
ership hotly after the recent mayoralty
election, in which Fiorello H. La
Guardia defeated Tammany's nominee
Mayor John P. O'Brien, and Joseph v.
Mckee, who had the backing of Farley.
1t was stated that friends of Curry
have informed him he can gain no
possible advantage by continuing to
hight Mr.. Farley. the patronage dis
penser OF the Roosevelt administration
and have advised a truce"
At the same time it was said that
Tammany leaders, though dissatisfied
with Curry, contemplate no immediate
attempt to displace him.

Roosevelt Accepts Kisses
Just as He Took
Cheers.
BY PAUL MALLON.

7 NQUISITIVE people want to know
how MIR. Roosevelt is taking the
Kisses against some sections of his
i program.
The answer is: Just about the
same as he took the hosannas.
Once, about 10 days ago, when the
farm strike was threatening and the
gold price scheme was not working,
he had bad day Callers thought that
for the first time since March 4 he
was unable to conceal his irritation.
He was sharp In conversation. His
habitual gaiety was conspicuously alb
sent.
The very merit day he came up
smiling. again He has been that
1CGy eTer since.
This Is not merely a public pose. He
carries it through his dealings with
his intimate associates in private.
It seems to be a game with him, a
constant resistance against permitting
anything to get on his nerves. He
knows he must have relaxation and
good health and he never lets anything
interfere with these two purposes.
At present his physical condition
seems to be good.

The Government lawyers nearly broke
a brain cell figuring out legal excuse
for the gold purchase program.
The story OF how they did it Is only
now emerging from the inner council.
1t seems the President liked the idea of
increasing commodity prices that way,
but did not believe he had the authority
to do 1t. At least he doubted it.
The lawyers dug around in the r. F.
c. act and found with promptings
r. F. c. could sell its debentures.
went back to the old British common
law of barter and sale, and deduced
that the exchange of debentures for
gold was in reality method of SALE
Good lawyers sag there is no ques-
ton that the courts ioiH uphold it,

in any ones mind at the time the
r. +. c. act lDaS torttten.
This may give you hint that lot
Of things can be done under existing
law which have not been thought of yet.
The known powers conferred on the
Executive at the last session of Congress
have not even been half used. The
financial and N. r. A. programs have
gone only part of the way that Congress
authorized The farm powers have
been used to greater extent than any
because the need was greater.
In addition, there are unknown pow
ers which can be worked out legally II
demand for them arises.
Lack of authority never will be used
as an alibi for this administration.
