Jefferson Stood In Way
Of the War Hawks

George Washington did
not care much for the action
of the French in putting
their King aside and de-
stroying the monarchy. He
did not think much of the
Robespierres and the Dan
tons. But when a change
in the form Of government
was effected by the Revolu-
tion it never occurred to
him to break off diplomatic
relations. We had a min
lister there and they had one
here before the event-and
after. Washington knew
that it was no ones business
but that Of the French what

There Is No Danger of
Communism Here

The only reason that can
be given for Withholding
recognition year after year is
that we do not like Commu-
nism-which is no reason at
all. Smith puts it we'll:
II do not believe in being
against them just because
they have a form of govern
ment that we do not like.
Jefferson told us in our
Declaration of Independence
that any time we did not like
this government we can put
it down and build it up in
the way we want it,
But most Of us are salts

of office of President of the United States symbol
ICES more than change Of administration.
TO the American people this induction of President
connotes the birth of determination vigor
and new outlook.

We look to him with confidence to carry out that
deal
But as we inaugurate him as President there must
to all realization that he alone cannot achieve
the aims and objects which seek.
This man who moves along Pennsylvania Avenue
today is not miracle worker. He possesses magi-
clans wand with which to away our troubles He
has formula with which to dssipae the clouds which
hang over u.s.
His only instruments are the men and women who
today hail him with rejoicing.
It is through them that he must work.
AS those instruments respond to his suggestion and
direction they cooperate with him in the tremendous
task which he today undertakes will be measured his
success.
We as citizens, cannot look to any or to any
group of men to bear the burden which these times
impose.
It is a burden of which each must carry his share.

not doing it,

kind of government they
had.
There were some, Of course
there always are-who
would have had us break off
relations with France and
go to war with her. But
these were men who had be-
come hysterical in their de-
votion to royalty and all it
then implied.
Happily, Jefferson was
Secretary Of State at the
time and he stood in the
way Of the war hawks.
Morris Hated
The New Regime
We had a Minister in
Paris at the time the Revo-
luton broke in Gouverneur
Morris, who so far forgot
the proprieties Of his posi-
tion as to become an in
tense partisan Of the gov
ernment that had been over
thrown. He made no secret
Of his hate of the new
regime. He even entered
into a conspiracy, with
money furnished him by
the imprisoned monarch, to
effect the liberation of the
King.
Now I do not know, but
I suspect that Washington,
who was very conservative,
must have sympathized to a
considerable extent with the
views of Morris; but as
President, representing this
nation, he knew that the
conduct Of Morris was in
tolerable. He consequently
recalled him. He recalled
the minister instead Of
breaking off relations, and
sent another minister more
acceptable to the new
regime.

TO Mr.. Roosevelt is given the power to direct the
whole.
That he has the ability to exercise that power is
atested by the overwhelming majority by which he was
elected It atested by his experience in public office
and the record which he has established throughout his
life.
Mr. Roosevelt takes office at time when the nation
and the world are in turmoil
The domestic problems which Immediately confront
his administration of staggering import and conse
quence.
TO lesser man, heading lesser nation, they would
be overwhelming.
These problems cannot be solved in day. They will
require the gravest and most deliberate consideration

will essay their solution familiar to all who have

NEEDY DEPORTEES
Plan of Preventing Breaking Up Of
Families Announced by
Official.

By the Associated Press.
Use of Federal relief funds to prevent
breaking up of families of deported
aliens was promised yesterday by the
Government.
Harry L. Hopkins, relief administra-
tor, and Daniel w. MacCormack,
commissioner of immigration and nat
uralization, announced an agreement
by which they say:
IF q family is without funds and
expresses a desire to join a parent or a
husband or wife scheduled for deporta-
tion, funds will be made available.
Federal relief funds, safeguarded by
restricting their expenditure to desti-
tute families who have been investi-
gated by relief officials and immigra-
ton officers. can be used to pay rail-
road and steamship fares as well as for
meals en- route.
Administrator Hopkins has author
lied State relief administrations to
spend Federal relief money for this
purpose Commissioner MacCo-mack

CODE ASKS PRICES
FIXED AT FACTORY
Druggists Propose Retail
Scale Aimed to Bar Cut
throat Competition.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A far-reaching plan to guarantee re-
tail sales at or near factory fixed prices
was presented to the Recovery Admin
istration yesterday by the Nations
druggists at the conclusion Of their
hearing on code Of fair competition.
The plan. embodied in the tentative
code, provides that no retailer of drugs
or cosmetics could sell such goods for
less than 81 per cent of the retail price
set on them by their manufacturer. For
instance, If an article was marked 81
by the manufacturer it could not be
sold at retail for less than 70 cents.
The proposal was aimed at cutthroat
price-cutting not only as practiced by
sell what the druggists defined as their
goods. Thus. virtually all goods having
to do with health would be sold under
this price agreement, as would face
powders, toothpaste, perfumes and some
foods, many of which are sold in de-
partment stores, beauty shops, sta
TONERS shops, and so on.
Proposal "Interestinx."
While promising nothing about the
adoption of the proposal. Deputy Ad-
ministrator A. D. Whiteside said:
Il find your proposal very, very In
teresting. You are tracking over new
ground. Your proposal for guarantee
ng the resale price by contracts between
retailers and manufacturers may prove
turning point in American trade Very
shortly our experts will go through this
CODE and while cannot predict what
action can be taken on so revolution
ary proposal am sure it will receive
the fullest consideration"
Meanwhile N. r. A. ohicials were
working toward q general code which
would include not only the druggists,
but all other retail fields Some of
the notifications included in the pro-
poeal presented are very like those in
the code recently set forth by a large
group OF other retailers.
May Go in General Code
A general code would not preclude
the adoption of the druggists resale price
provision, but could even make it apply
to all retail business. Other exceptions
suitable to the various trades also might
be included in general code.
John A. Goode, Asneville, N. c.. presi-
dent of the National Association Of
Retail Druggists, explained the resale
provision was essential to prevent other
lines Of business from using standard
drug store items to bait" customers,
and to prevent cut price establishments
from using the most reliable items of
the regular drug trade as lures.
The general retail CODE not includ-
ing the drug trade. provides that no
merchant may sell goods for less than the
net invoice or current market price plus
10 per cent The druggists price pro-
vision applies only to trade marked
items on which the manufacturer sets
price by contract with the dealer.

From Pete Alsup, a miner and MEM
ber of the committee seeking food sup
plies, came the charge that the mine
operators were attempting to "starve
out the union" by closing down the
mines.
Meanwhile, Rubin Wallen and Red

they were dismissed from their jobs be-
cause of their union affiliations. These
charges were denied by mine operators
who said that no discharges had been
influenced by the mems union or non
