commerce, labor, agriculture and
treasury and the federal co-ordina-
tor of transportation would be
members. The federal officials could
appoint members to substitute for
them.
Such a council, Mr. Swope said,
could appoint an economic board
of any number and of any member
ship it chose.
ut shall be the province of the
national economic council to study
economic changes, advise the Presi-
dent and congress in regard to eco
nomic trends, and to make recon-
mendations," he said.
Mr.. Richberg said NRA's final is
sue was whether business could
govern itself in the public inter
est or whether the government must
reluctantly extend business control.

fund had paid for the stock must
be in error.
But, Mr.. Meyer, didn't you Dor
row money from the bank?" inter-
posed Judge Earl R. Cox
I'VE never borrowed a dollar from
the bank" he said
The bank head declared that the
private book in which Mr. Garvin
alleged an erasure had been found
was considered as a reference book.
I'VE never suspected we'd get
into difficulties at the time" he
said
But" continued Judge Cox, the
depositors gave you money. They
made your bank"
They helped lot but we always
considered the bank as ours" re-
torted Mr.. Meyer.
I'VE wish we had not taken de-
posts now but had operated on our
own money" he added
Judge Cox then questioned, Did
you gamble much in grain?"
mo sirl Only $50 to $75 and
sometimes as high as $1,000 he re-
torted.
Later Mr. Meyer was shown an
entry in the banks contingent fund
book showing a personal transaction
OF the bank head with the notation
profit of $1,12784 in grain"
You weren't gambling on the
banks money in this transaction p"
asked Judge Cox.
mo sir, it was personal transac-
ton replied Mr.. Meyer.
And this and other amounts were
used to swell the profits of the
bank?" probed Judge Cox.
we figured the bank as family
affair, replied Mr.. Meyer.

the anvil chorus against NRA and
President Roosevelt.
They would cruelty him as they
did President Wilson. Only this
time, their receptions on the public
will not be so easy, for they will not
be dealing with the League of Ma
tions and other subjects foreign to
our home localities.
Attacking Human Welfare"
They will be attacking human
welfare this time, and patriotic
American efforts to put aside want
and hunger program to ease the
burden of the citizen"
Mr.. Minton charged that Wall
Street, utility promoters and others,
who prof1ted most under the plan
of government before President
Roosevelt took office" are behind
the "obstructionist tactics which the
discredited old guard Republicans
are plotting"
Somebody gave NRA kick" he
continued. Immediately, like Sink
ing wolves in the pack, Watson,
Reed Of Pennsylvania and others
became bold and they now are rush.
ing out to snip and to bite at the
hind quarters of the NRA.
"Betrayers of Welfare"
This time they intend to talk
the American citizen out of his
birthright of freedom, his inherit
ance of equal opportunity and
his vested privilege to enjoy food
shelter and happiness in an ordered
social world.
General Johnson was right when
he called them 'witch-doctors. I
say they are betrayers of American
welfare.
In spite of the depression, the
public utility interests and the
politico- bankers continue to exert
their influences in the direction of
restoring a governmental system
which they can control. They en-
deavor to block investigations into
OAACA4 O1Q VI oOClSCOs lucy cIllpIOy
professional DIRECTORS and fault
finders. They sound alarms against
the progress being made by de-
mocracy and cry communism.
Promises Rate Reductions
They humbugged investors and
reaped large profits. Now they de-
cry the appearance of just admin
istratorS who would bring them to
an accounting for their past acts OF
deception.
Public utilities of Indiana no
longer are beneath the protecting
wing of officials who can see little
of the consumers side of the ques-
ton. They are out in the open,
but quake nightly because they
face investigation. They no longer
are teaming with the party in power
to keep rates high, for it can't be
done. They know that the old po-
litical-utility alliance is gone and
that soon all rates justly will be re-
duced."

for the protection of minorities are:

Second, the allied and associated

to appeal to the league.
In Germany. the Poles are
supposed to be under the protection
of the Weimar constitution which
grants minorities the right to use
their own language lin the schools,
courts and offices of administration"
of a state.
There also is a postwar treaty in
which Germany pledges herself ito
treat minorities of alien origin In
her territories according to the same
principle"-that is to say to allow
them freely to cultivate their own
racial characteristics.

they have no voice whatever in Ger
