From Milo Reno. leader of the Ma
tional Farmers Holiday Association,
came the assertion that the conference
without doubt resulted in much bet
ter understanding as to the business OF
our demands and the solving OF our
problems"
Nevertheless, Reno and his associates
in the National Association counseled
that produce continue to be held on
farms and that the association hold
their lines pending the outcome OF the
visit of the Governors to Washington. "
Should the Governors gain accept
ance of their recommendations, chiefly
those presented by holiday leaders,
prices on farm products will rise at
once, Reno pointed out. Should they
fail, he added, the farmers by holding
their products at home will be IN a
stronger position to carry on their
strike"
Gov. LANCER. who filed a minority
report. said 1.-The prices received for
agricultural products have dismally
failed to keep the pace with the rise IN

Two strikes are in progress in the
State-one by the farm holiday group,
and another by the wisconsin Co-opera- :
tive Milk Pool, which started last mid
night.
Walter Singler, head of the milk pool,
in Milwaukee issued a statement that ne
would not call off the milk strike until
after a mass meeting OF farmers at
Madison, the State capital, Friday.
1T isn't for those sitting In swivel
chairs to decide whether the strike shall
end" Singler said. The farmers have
a right to vote on their position"
Singler took the position that the
strike was not one of the holiday asso-
citation or of the milk pool, but one OF
farmers. He said all groups and farmers
organizations would be represented at
the mass meeting.

SCORED BY BR|TON
Prof. Soddy of Oxford Says
Control of Banks Would
Be Necessary.

OXFORD, England, November l.
President Roosevelt's program OF con-
trolling the currency will be fruitless
unless he controls the banking system
of the United States as well. Prof. Fred
erick Soddy, noted scientist and econ
omist of Oxford University, said today
Democracy can not afford to leave
the power Of issue of money in the
hands of any one but its own Govern
ment" said Prof. Soddy, who in one OF
his best known books blames what he
calls the wrecking Of scientific ClVlllZa-
ton on the money system.
Bank Credit Opposition.
"It is impossible to keep the value OF
money constant If you allow people to
issue and destroy 1t as business" ne
added. "You can not have stabilization
as long as you have bank credit"
The return of money and credit to
the consumer by the issuing of new
money by the Government is the solu-
ton which Prof Soddy advocates for
the present situation.
Il don't see any way for a govern
ment to relieve the situation" he said
except by giving more money to con-
sumers.
Payment of pensions or bonuses to
war veterans would do the same thing
In a rough way but it is necessary tc
remember that only small amount Is
needed"
The professor estimated that between
$50 900 600 and $3.50. 100000 should be
transferred to the consumer in America
Evening star., 1933-11-01

An institution like the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation, he said,
which issued credit to producers, raised
prices against consumers and caused
them to buy less. Banks also aggravate
the present trouble of production out
running consumption, in his opinion.
Gold Plan Seen Futile.
Prof. Soddy believes that the effort
to control the currency by the purchase
of gold cannot succeed, as gold has no
real relation to the price level at the
present time, except as smoke screen.
1t matters only within the limits set
by the antiquated banking rules"
He opposes initiation strongly, differ
ing with the inf1ationists concerning the
amount of money used.
There is a need for currency kept
at constant price level and based on the
willingness of the people to part with
goods for it. the professor said.
ANY index, if you choose it scien-
tifically and stick to 1t, is better than
none. AS people increase in prosperity
and in numbers you must issue more
money to maintain proper price levels" p"

PHARMACIST FILES
DRUG CODE CHARGE
M. 8. Alley Says Plan Will Not Be
Aid to Unemployment Among
Retailers.

The charge that the retail drug code
signed recently by the President will
not reduce unemployment among reg
istered pharmacists was made today by
Marion S. Alley, president of the Dis
trict Pharmacist Society. He said the
retail druggists will merely rearrange
their schedule of store hours and re-
main within the terms of the code.
Mr. Alley said the code calls for
maximum work week for drug store
employees of Sc hours, with not more
than 10 hours per day and 13 days IN
two consecutive weeks. excepting, phar-
macists. assistant pharmacists and ap.
prentlces, who may work 10 per cent
above the quota, and more in cases oi
emergency.
Many drug store owners, MI. Alley
stated, will take advantage Of the clause
relating to pharmacists and make their
pharmacists worls>the maximum hours,
which would obviate the necessity for
more employees.

NEW YORK, November Ito AL
Smith, some aspects of the N. R. A.
are very pulling"
In an editorial in the November issue
OF the New outlook magazine pub
lished today Smith set forth certain
features of the Governments recovery
program which he believed inconsistent
or bordering on illegality.
1t is all very puzzhng," he said, land
the beWildered observer, hoping ulti-
mate!y for an honest test of these issues
in the courts, is further confounded by
the editorial suggestion in a newspaper
of wide circulation that the President
could ask Congress to create few more
Supreme Court judgeships and fill them
with men sympathetic with the aims
OF the National Recovery Act
That would indeed be a new deal"
Smith questioned the constitution
ality of certain State laws passed in
conjunction with the N R. A. and
which made punishable in State courts
violations Of N. R. A. codes filed with
some official of the commonwealth.
He commented, too, that all employees
OF private businesses, except the rail-
roads, had to come under N. R A codes
while Government workers were ex-
empted from the benefits Of shorter
hours and higher wages"
THE Watchword of the business man
Is spend" Smith wrote. The watch
word of the Government is 'retrench' 1"

A plan for Federal grubstaking of ap-

was presented in motion pictures shown
in the auditorium of the Interior De-

Executive, it was learned has asked for
investigation and a report from Public

tigation at present is in the hands of
Louis R. CLAWS
The motion pictures showed the usual
procedure in placer mining, which re-
turns an average of about so cents a
day to the miners, some Of them max
ing more than this.
Walker pointed out that placer min

but is feasible. he claimed, as near the
District as Virginia and West Virginia.

Dunn, chairman of the American Build
er Publishing Corporation. in an address
prepared for delivery today said that
annual expenditures upon home build
ing and modernization had declined al
most ten billion dollars since 1928, as
compared to the previous five-year
period.
The average annual expenditures
at present amount to S880,000,0 900 he
said, in comparison to S2,860, 100000 be-
fore 1923. He spoke before the confer
ence of the National Association for
Better Housing
How could there possibly be as much
economic justification for our Govern
ment's expending billions Of dollars
upon city streets, highways, waterways
and other public works, as there could
be for the Federal Government making
large loans for home building and mod
ernization?" he asked.
He said revival of building construc-
ton was needed perhaps more than
anything else to revive business and
ascribed the beginning and continuation
of the depression to its decline.

REPUBLICANS OPEN
ELECTION CAMPAIGN
Lay Groundwork by Attack
on N. R. A.-HouSe Con-
troll Is Objective.

BY the Associated Press.
The groundwork for an intensive
congressional election campaign next
year based on criticism of President
Roosevelt and N. r. A. is being laid
by the Republican National Committee.
The objective of the campaign is
capture of the House, now top-heavy
with Democrats. The Republicans also
hope to seize several of the 80 Senate
seats to be filled next year, but they
have no expectation Of obtaining
Senate control
Inc nrst major move Of the Republi-
can Committee to help the party was
IN the issuance of a pamphlet for use
by workers, not only in congressional
campaigns, but in gubernatorial and
other elections that come next Fall.
Both the Democratic and Republican
leaders agreed the pamphlet charging
Ffesloent Roosevelt had broken pledges
and assailing the N. r. A. was the
opening blow in the campaign.
Democrats Also Active,
Democratic chieftains have nrepared
somewhat for the campaign. They are
nkely to contend that N. r. A. vas an
emergency measure made necessary be-
cause republican administrations had

In the Republican pamphlet, the N.

party's leaders were said to be planning
10 aSsau 1t soon as means of putting
individual enterprise, ambition, initi-
atlve, thrift foresight in a straigilt-
jacket" These were the words used re-
Gently by Chairman Saunders Of the Ma
tional Committee, in describing the N.
R. A.
The main charge of the Republican
congressional campaign, leaders here
said, would be that had President
Roosevelt incorporated the N. R. AS
principles in his platform he would not
have been elected.
The pamphlet that opened the cam
paign was not for circulation to the
general public. but was issued as

Attitude Expectant.

among persons close to agriculture
the suspense takes the form of a won
oer whether the administration will
admit that the farm relief act has
not been effective or whether in this
neld also the administration will take
tne path OF increased control. The
sum OF all IS an attitude of expectation
that something decisive is ahead and
that new ventures in business must wait
until something happens which is
simple enough for everybody to under
stand and which will have the effect
OF clearing the air.
Here in Washington the atmosphere
Is much the same. There is the kind
OF tension which in political conyen-
tlons causes observers and participants
70 ieei tnat some kind of a break
- JUST ahead. Conversation of those
closest TO the center of events in
oiuoes o frequent iteration of phrases
ABOUT being "at the crossroads"
one of the paths ahead could be de.
clslon by President Roosevelt that tbe
time has come to act upon what he said
10 congress at the time of the adoptior
OF the bill for farm adjustment: Il tel
you, frankly that it is a. new and IN
trod path. If a fair admin
lstrative trial of it is made and it does
not produce the hoped-for results.
shall be the first to acknowledge it and
advise you" "-'o
While it was of the farm measure
that Mr.. Roosevelt said this, N. R. A
ana the actions about gold are even
more new and untrod" than that
ABOUT agriculture. If termination of
these experiments is one path, the other
path is to push the experiments still
further IN the direction of closer control
over prices and over business opera
tions of all kinds.
One group of the Presidents subordi-
mates is pressing toward what would
amount to limitations on profits in the
near future. and toward an ideal which
would eliminate all profit. There is
hardly the fainteSt possibility of this
course being adopted. There has never
been any sign that President Roosevelt
personally entertained the notion OF
eliminating profit from business.
On the contrary, the one ideal to
which he has held most consistently
since March is the balancing of the
budget, and the budget can only be
balanced by getting in the taxes which
can only be derived frem profits in busi-
ness. and large profits at that.
Moreover, some of the strongest men
In the Roosevelt administration would
resign rather than 60 along with any
program looking toward the elimination
of profits. The more conservative among
the Presidents advisers have no fear of
his deliberately doing anything ire
trievably radical. They do fear that
the radical advisers may lead him into
taking thoughtlessly some step which
would be difficult to retrace.
