WAR IS RESULT OF
INITIATION POLICY
French Bankers Look for
New Deal Initiation;
Sharper Struggles

According to the New York
Times correspondent in Paris, the
capitalist class there expects to
see Roosevelt resort to initiation
in order to back up the MIRA.
Paris bankers believe that the
u. S. government will be forced
to grant loans in order to main
tain prices and assist manufac-
turers, which will entail initiation
of the currency. Therefore, it is
thought that the program of in
flation passed by Congress will
shortly be put into practice. Such
a policy would probably cause
further depreciation of hte dollar"
Fear U. s. Competition
"The prospect certainly
causes the British govern
ment much concern, as Brit
ish and Dominion industry
dread the American competi-
ton which would result"
| Further depreciation of the dol
i lar means, therefore, a sharpen
ing of the struggles among tn
capitalist counties. especially be
tween Great Britain and the Unit
ed States. Leading directly an

The New Deal 1Of FARMERS

prices of their products to the

SEE CURTAILED PRO-
DUCTION
The meat packers know, how
ever, that the imposition of any
such tax would slash the consump-
ton down to a wretched level.
Therefore, these meat packers
have suggested that instead of a
tax Of and One-third cents a
pound of live hog there should be
tax Of Is cents PER LIVE HOG.
Pork is the poor mans food and
the meat packers know it. This
is the reason why they recommend
q tax which is far below what
would bring the farmer tire parity
price which the New Deal pro-
missed them.
This proves the contention Of
the United Farmers League anC
Of the Producers News that any
sales tax on farm products will
only result finally in TIE pilirg

The Washington times., 1933-05-06

-Four pitchers are enough to
work in rotation during the
course Of a season, particularly
if you have four who can de-
liver for you every fourth day.
The Griffmen apparently have
four in WhitehilI, Stewart,
CrOwder and Weaver, and until
one of these men falter, they'll
make up our starting quartet.
eyes, it's true we have AL
phOnse Thomas available, but
Tommy is the sort Of pitcher
who can step in at any time and
deliver. Tommy will get his
chance, however, if one of the
starters fails. Besides, he'll
come in mighty handy later
when we'll need starting pitch
ers for dOubleheaders."
Four DOubleheaders
The Griffs now have four dou,
bleheaders ahead of them. One OF
these will be played at Boston
when the Red Sox are met again
next month, while two others will
be staged when. the Cleveland In
dians are engaged in Cleveland
next trip.
Just when yesterdays postponed
game will be played off is not
known by Griff officials, but it'll
probably be in August when the
Griffs visit Detroit again.
The strong showing of Bill Nc
Afee, as a relief hurler, was an
other factor discussed by Cronin.
Bill looked very good in his
relief assignments" admitted
CrOnin, "and I'm glad of it as
it not only fills him with plenty
of confidence but the entire
team. You know it means a
lot when a pitcher can step
in there at any time and halt
the opposition as McAfee has
done on two particular Occa-
siOns. We are all pulling for
him."
Rescued Linke
McAfee's first important bit of
relief pitching was against the
Boston Red Sox last week when
he stepped to Eddie Linke's res
cue and retired the Sox with only
one run though the bases were
full. His next was against the
AS last Sunday when he held
them helpless while the Griffs
went on to win by virture Of Bob
Boken's timely bingle in the
twelfth, inning.
Uncle Bill" as he's called by
his team mates, has developed a
fast ball. Last year he de-
pended almost solely on a kunck-
Ter or slow ball. He still uses
this frequently, but counters with
an improved fast ball which is
destined to help him become one
of the most valuable hurIers with
the Griffs, if not one of the
most noteworthy newcomers in
the league in the 1888 race.

Chip Off Old Block

A striking image of his
father, Omar Khayyam, which
won the Derby in 1917. Mr..
Khayyam looks to be a colt
that favors the mile and a
quarter here today. A chip off
the old block, if you ask us,
being a weight carrier besides
possessing speed and durabil-
ity.
But there are other horses in
this race, and good ones, too,
and one can't exactly dismiss
the likes of Charley O., Ladys-
man, Head Play and Sarada.
With a field the size Of to-
days, the Derby is what is COM
monty called an open race. It
may easily be won at the post,
or lost there as we'll.
Sixteen minutes waits at the
post, like last years, don't do a
highly-Strung, fractions racer
any good. But in a race with
as many as we've got bidding
for the Derby today, give us
that Jockey who can get his
mount away free of the others
and run his own race.
Bumpings and pockets are
the bane and plague of a field
like this one today.

st. Louis appears to be the only
club capable of stopping Pitts

Bill Swift turned in his fourth
win of the year as the Pirates

Chick Outen, his battery mate

Lindstrom. Tony Cuccinello, Of

taking a 2-to-1 duel from Char

helped win his own game when

DETROIT, May 6.-Hey. pally,
what's the weather outlook for
today?
To play or not to play, that is
the question. The year is at
spring, all's wet with the world.
These phrases run through the
minds of the Griffmen, who so
far on this western trip have
been forced to sit around hotel
Hobbies and twiddle their thumbs
because of persistent rains.
Weather Man Cruel
Rain and cold weather again
yesterday. Rain and cold weather
predicted for today. Will our
Griffmen" ever get a chance to
play?
Manager Cronin and his boys
participated in but one contest
since they left washington last
Sunday night. That was against
the Cleveland Indians at Cleve-
land on Thursday, and then the
game was played under the most
adverse conditions imaginable.
The Indians triumphed in this
particular instance because their
pitcher, Mel Harder, was able to
out-Weather General Alvin Crow
der and Alphonse Thomas out
there on the pitching mound-a
mound that was cold, if ever a
pitching mound could be.
Tired of Inactivity
Other than this one game the
Griffs have done nothing but idle.
They are tired of playing cards,
tired of sitting around the hotel
Hobbies and they have almost run
out of hot stove league stories and
happenings in their lives during
the winter months.
These Griffmen want to play
ball. They want warm weather
in order to get their muscles COM
pletely limbered. They want to
step up to the plate and hit the
ball without singing their hands.
They want to throw the ball with
out feeling and hearing their
muscles crack after throwing.
In short, they're tired of idling.
Rain, cold weather and all,
Manager Cronin gave his men
the chance to get in a short
workout yesterday after the news
had rolled around that the sched-
uled game had been postponed.
Face Detroit Tigers
Today, if the weather permits.
Cronin and his men will strive to
beat the Detroit Tigers in what
will mark their second game of
this Western trip.
Earl Whitehill, who has been
due to pitch ever since the team
left Washington, will do the
twirling, while Buddy Myer,
Heine Manush and the rest of
the Griff cast take their regular
places.

The Winner? All!

At best a boss race is ever
a very uncertain thing and
we'd hate to be asked to pick
the winner. Yet, if we were,
we wouldn't be entirely with
out ideas, for who is there
that can roam around the stalls
and fail to find one to his
liking?
For instance, if you narrow
down to one choice, you've got
to take Mr.. Khayyam, as who
wouldn't after seeing him in
the Chesapeake a week ago,
no matter what they say about
that bad start.
Certainly the advantage he
had at the end was three times
what the break at the barrier
accorded him.
You can't turn your back on
the track record of 1:44 he
made then, either, and even If
you did, you couldn't forget
the stamina he seemed to have
left at the end. Mr.. Khayyam
has both the breeding and rec
ord to favor him for this effort.

East VS.. the West

It's the same old controversy
between the West and the East,
the hardboots and the tender
feet, and the same soft,spoken
Southern accent which makes
conversational music-all the
day.
It's the same old blue-coated
brass band which takes it's
place before the judges stand
while the Derby horses tread
lightly through the paddock
lane to the parade grounds,
and plays MY Old Kentucky
Home" midst a stiffness which
Is nigh on to reverence.
The only thing about the
Derby that changes from year
to year are the horses-every
other thing is just the same
without variation, without a
detour.
The Washington times., 1933-05-06

No one has ever exactly ex-
planned what it is about the
Derby that gets in your epider-
mis-, but once you've fallen
under the kindly, languid spell
of this great day of horses and
hospitality, you'll beg, borrow
or steal your way here year
after year, ad infinitum.
It's the same old Churchill
Downs, with its spired grand
stand, rambling clubhouse,
grassy lawn and rustic benches.
It's the same half mile of
spreading buildings which were
badly in need of paint the first
time we saw them many years
ago, and which need this pro-
lection from the sun and wind
and rain now, more than ever.
