BERLIN DELAYS STATEMENT.

BERLIN, October % (P.-The
speech Of President Roosevelt con-
corning gold was reported only sketch
lily today by German correspondents
and news agencies stationed in
America.
Inquiry among bankers, government
officials and economic leaders brought
stock reply to the effect that they
were unable on the basis of the pres
ent information to picture to them
selves what Mr. Roosevelt really has
in mind. Hence they were unwilling
to comment.

quarters believe that tendency would
not be resisted.
The experts called attention to q
statement Of the gold delegation at the
League concerning prices as harmoniz
ing with the Roosevelt program.
Some delegates said rise from the
present level of prices would make the
payment of fixed charges considerably
easier.
"A monetary policy expressed through
a volume of credit may play a large
part in determining the level Of prices" I"
said one of them. He continued that
when credit contraction is carried to
extremes, this contraction should be
checked and the initiative even some
times should be taken to encourage q
freer use of credit.

MARYLAND SYMPATHETIC.
Little Likelihood of Joining Strike Is
Seen, However.

BALTIMORE, October % Op)-Miles
H. Fairbanks, secretary Of the
Maryland Farm Bureau Federation, said
today that while Maryland farmers SYM
pathize with the farmers Of the Middle
west, there Is little likelihood" they
will take the farm strike seriously.
I'VE, too, have been keenly disap-
pointed at the rather slow progress that
has been made by the A. A. A. and
the F. c. A. in carrying out the pro-
gram which was held up to farmers
last Spring as their salvation" he said.
"On the other hand, few farmers can
appreciate the immensity of the task
that has been facing official Washington
in carrying out the program that in
volved SO many personal elements"

R).-Keith Neville of North Platte, who
resigned recently as chairman OF the
Nebraska N. R. A. board, last night said
he will withdraw his resignation on the
condition that employers Of less than 10
persons be exempt from the provisions
of the recovery act.
Neville returned home from a week

informed Gen. Hugh johnson, Federal
recovery administrator, had been at
tempting to reach him by telephone.
He said he had no indication whether
his proposal would be accepted.

Neville made public the following tele-
gram from johnson, received Friday
and his answer:
Honorable Keith Neville,
North Platte, Nebr.
IRE telegram, neither you nor 1 re-
sponsible for the farm act or public
works. Your criticism of them Is not
justifiable in saying that your and my
Job is q failure. Let's pull together to
make the whole thing a success.
HUGH S. JOHNSON"
The reply:
Hugh S. johnson,
washington, D. G.
ITO pull together we must have oars.
Success can only come by co-ordinating
all recovery activities. Suggest all Ne
braska projects that have passed the
engineering, legal and financial depart
ment of the Public Works Administra-

now are of retail profiteering What is
needed here is local tribunals to which
any person who feels injured in this
way can complain and fair hearing
held. The President has also directed
that these local complaint boards be
set up. A complete plan for this has
been worked out and will be put into
effect at once.
by these means we believe we can
protect the farmer against price in
creases which do not come as a direct
result of the cost of unemployment.
''The President has also signed the
retail code. In order to open all points
of view on this great charter it was
published in full before final decision
and it Is therefore not necessary to dis
cuss it here. It is part Of the purpose
Of N. r. A. to discourage the vicious
practice of selling products of labor at
less than the cost Of them in wages. A
retail merchant pays certain invoice
price for what he sells and then pays
his employees their wages for selling it.
He also has other expenses. Cost to
him is not merely what he pays his sup
plier. It is that plus at least the wages
he pays his employees.
Forbids Sales at Loss.
"In recent years and especially with
the growth Of the chain stores, q prac-
tice has grown up of selling one or two
items at loss In order to get people
into q store. The little fellow cannot
afford this. The public is fooled be-
cause what it saves on one item it
loses on another. In the last four
years 100000 small retailers have
been driven out of business and 1t is
%1,ie
'loss leader" was partly to blame. For
these reasons the retail code provides
that it is an unfair practice to sell
any article for less than its invoice
cost plus at least a portion of the wages
paid to employees In the stores.
This is frankly an experiment. A
pointed at once to watch closely the
recommendations on February l.
"Our four months experience has also
demonstrated the necessity for clari-
flying statement on the controversy over
section Ia Of the recovery act There is
nothing obscure about that section it
self. The obscurity arises out Of un-
authorized interpretations by some en-
ployers and some employees in an effort
to read into that section something
more or less than is written there. The
President has made that Interpretation
in q single sentence so phrased that It
is believed that nobody can separate it
from its setting or otherwise cut it up to
make it seem to say something different
from what the words intend. Both in
dustrial and labor leaders say that this
will do much to quiet current disputes
on this point"

Hicks "The Great Tradition"
Is First Sound Major Attempt
at MARKHAM Literary Criticism

the great tradition" in American
letters-which Hicks detects in Emer-
sons confidence in the common
man." in Thoreau's attack upon the
shame and expressions" Of his time,
in Whitmans "kinship with the
workers and farmers" and in the
development of the realistic novel
from Howells to Sinclair.
This is the great tradition of
American literature" concludes Hicks,
in the final page of the book. 1.-THE
issue is now SO clearly drawn that
evasion is almost impossible: on the
one hand lies reputation of the best
in the American literary past, on the
other the fulfillment of all that was
dreamed of and worked for in the
past and the beginning of struggle
for more than the past could ever
have hoped. :"
But while Hicks thesis-that rev.
dictionary proletariah literature is
the continuation of the mainstream
of American lterature-iS essentially
sound, he does not seem to indicate
sharply enough the qualitative change
in this tradition made by the litera-
ture of the proletariat. Revolutionary
literature Is not simply quantita-
tive addition to the best writings of
the past; it is step forward, an
ascension to higher level. This
lack of emphasis may or may not
account for Hicks failure to trace
the origins and early development of
the new and independent revolution
airy tradition in our literature. He
does not mention, for example, the
evolving of proletarian poetry in
the crude songs and verse of the
early I. w. w. movement, the gradual
emergence of revolutionary verse (by
minor poets in the little magazines,
the stirring poetry of the young
Giovannitti--or the socialist verse to
be found in German-American perio-
ideals published in the nineteenth
century. He also ignores completely
novels like Frank Harris 'The Bomb"
sympathetic description of the Hay
market episode, and Ernest Pooles
'The Harbor," which deals with a
marine workers strike in New York
City-although these volumes are
landmarks of historical fiction re-
flecting the major battles Of the Am
erican proletariat.
However, despite these errors OF
omission and emphasis land other
electromagnetic as the over
cautious avoidance of MARKHAM ter
minology; the reflection Of, Hicks
earlier fondness for innpressionistic
criticism; the tinge of purely
ethical approach in certain ser
lions of the book, "The Great Tradi-
tom is q brave and courageous
document, the forerunner Of many
valuable studies Of American litera-
ture which will aid in the under
mining of bourgeois culture and the
building of socialist culture in the
United States.
