CHICAGO, November 25.-Edward A.
Hayes, national commander OF the
American Legion, asked in an address
tonight that the Federal Government
provide an appropriation for the De-
partment Of Justice to suppress revo-
lutionary propaganda in the United
States"
Hayes said Investigators had learned

they had found professor of de-

pupils to forget about their belief in

with the responsibility of putting down
that sort of activity"
Saying the American Legion had gone
on record firmly as opposed to Soviet
recognition, Hayes asserted the Legion
never would make any adverse political
criticism of the President Of the United

He said one Of the mandates of the

diplomatic recognition Of Russia and
another was to oppose attempts to un-

Text of Borah's Speech
Senator Claims Monetary Policy Criticism Vain
Unless Constructive Solution Is offered
81. Public.

Here is the text Of the statement Of
Senator Borah defending President
Roosevelt's monetary policies:
"I doubt If the critics Of the Presi-
dents monetary policy will succeed in
winning public opinion away from the
President unless they are prepared to
offer an affirmative. constructive pro-
gram.
THE thing that holds the people to
the President Is the belief that he
deeply desires to lift them out Of their
desperate troubles.
THE people will naturally ask those
who object to the Presidents monetary
cystem: What have you to offer in lieu
Ct the Presidents program?
I'VE had the gold standard i>r three
and half years Of the depression. We
should have had the confidence VIII. n
1t Is said now waits on the return Of
the gold standard. But confidence was
not at hand, prices continued to fall,
unemployment to increase, until on the
Sd day Of March this Nation was In a
state Of economic collapse.
Leadership Paralyzed.
"The advocates of the gold standard
stood about the bier Of American in
dustry and American agriculture speech
less-not a word of hope, not a note Of
leadership. The great bankers and
flnanciers offered no remedy. Complete
national liquidation in all its stark and
hideous aspects stared US in the face.
1.-The only thing that is offered now
by the critics Of the President Is o re-
turn to the gold standard and appar-
emily the program which marked the
gloomy days from october, 1929, to
March 3, 1888.
II wondered the other day when ]
read Mr.. Sprague's statement that he
never had an opportunity to tell the
Evening star., 1933-11-26

President what the President ought to
do, just what he would have told him
had he been given an audience.
"Mr. Warburg, in his Philadelphia
speech, said the trouble with the farmer
is not that the prices have fallen, but
that farm prices have fallen much be-
low all other prices. do not agree
that that alone constitutes the farmers
troubles, but that is one of them, a
serious one. 1t must be remedied or
the farmer cannot again enjoy any
thing like prosperity.
President Has Advantage.
But what remedy does Mr.. Warburg
propose for this situation? It was
under the gold standard that this con-
dition arose, although I am frank to
say 1t was not due to the gold standard
alone. But what Is the remedy? None
is offered.
THE President has the advantage
in this controversy in that he thinks
something must be done aside from
returning to the status quo ante That's
what vast majority of the people of
the country think. II those who at
tack his policy would offer anything
except the policy under which we ar
rived at our present disastrous condi-
ton, they might more readily succeed
in breaking the Presidents policy.
Neither Gov. Smith. Mr.. Sprague
nor Mr.. Warburg, in their attacks upon
the present monetary policy offer any
thing except the mere restoration of
the gold standard, the return to gold
Will that suffice? It does not seem to
me that it will suffice. At any rate, in
view Of the experiences which we had
under the policies to which they would
now have us return, venture 10 be-

far as tips are concerned, that Is a
matter between the girls and their Gus

planned, by a tiny Clique" of big chain
restaurant operators, who insist not
only on low wages but 54-hour week
Opponents of the associations code,

self but at least one huge chain, the
Horn & Hardart Co. of Philadelphia

minimum wage Of rs cents an hour

Restaurant employees are at a dis
advantage in the consideration of a

cause they are poorly organized. In
her efforts to secure fairness for the
employees, Mrs. Downey disclosed that

Refusal to Discuss Monetary

BUENOS AIRES November 25.-Sev-
eral South American governments re-
garded as a maneuver tonight the re-
cent White House declaration that the
United States cannot discuss monetary
and tariff problems at the forthcoming
Pan-American conference in Monte

Latin America, except Paraguay and
possibly Cuba, considers these subjects,
which previously were supposed to con-

Doubling that domestic pre-occupa-

such discussions after receiving the
South American temper.

GERMANS PROTEST
SHOOTING ON BORDER
Tension on Austrian Frontier
After Soldier Is Fired
Upon.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VIENNA, November 25.-Tension on
the Austro-Geman frontier near Salz-
burg increased greatly today as a re-
suit of the shooting Of German soldier
on the Tyrolese border near Kitzbuehel.
The German legation fled a protest
with the foreign Office and at the same
time the director of security at Salz-
burg added to the border patrol and
closed the frontier to everybody except
few considered beyond suspicion of
political activities.
The Austrian government began a
complete investigation of the incident,
which occurred yesterday.
One version said three Fascist home
guard patrols saw 20 Germans ap-
preaching them on skis and shouting
Hell Hitler!" Believing they faced an
attack, the Austrian patrols opened fire.
Surveyors and photographers were
sen to help a commission decide
whether the episode occurred on Ger
man or Austrian soil.
Chancellor Englebert Dollfuss assured
the German Minister that the incident
was being studied with extreme care
and that a reply would be made at the
earliest opportunity to the German
demarche.
Official quarters said they expected no
serious developments, but conditions at
the border remained tense and news
papers contained bitterly.
The press pointed out recent rumors
of a possible reconciliation Of the Aus
trian and German governments and
Socialist newspapers maintained the
Dollfuss government was trying to fight
Hitler with one fist while extending the
other to shake hands.
Foreign Minister Konstantin Won Neu-
rath in Berlin instructed the German
Minister in Vienna to protest vigor-
ously.
A report to Won Neurath, quoted in
q dispatch from Berlin, said the solder
was killed by volley OF bullets fired
from the Austrian side.
