RoosereIt Farm D.cfator.

WASHINGTON, D. G.. March 10
Under the gpise. Of adopting farm
relief, in answer to the tllunderous
demands of the ruined farmers for
immediate aid. the Wall Street gov
eminent was moving today to clothe
President Roosevelt with dictatorial
powers which would still further in
trench the trusts and bring about
greater impoverishment of the farm
erS. "a
A special message to Congress, in
which Roosevelt would seek the same
dictatorial powers which he is get
ting in the banking crisis, is antici-
pated very shortly.
AS explained by Secretary Of Ag-
ricultre Wallace, the program pro-
posed would give him and Roosevelt
itch power to restore the pre-war
parity between prices of agricultural
and industrial commodities. This
clearly would involve the jockeying
up of prices for the benefit of the
trusts, with the increase being passed
on TO the consumed. Moreover, the
program hollis nothing. to aid the
growing army Of ruined farmers
driven from the land by mortgage
foreclosures and starving, because OF
inability to market their products.

In the minds Of most citizens,

Is il the new President or the
new Congress? When the Amer

Gratis into power by a tremen-

at Was an Era of Optimism

1T was an era Of OPTIMISM, "
said Victor Schoepperle, vice
president Of the National City
Company, to the Senate commit
tee in explaining why the COM
pany sold the public>$90, 900, 600
of Peruvian bonds that have
since gone into default The
company's representatives in
Peru had reported that condi-
tions there were such as to make
the bonds unsafe, but the COM
pany did not give this informa-
ton in the prospectuses offering
these so-called securities" The
bonds were put on the market at
from $50 to $96.50; they are now
selling at from SIS to SO.
Here was a plain case of de-
ception for the enrichment of
insiders. Probably the offense
was not one for which the perpe-
traitors can be put in jail never
theless, it was nothing more or
less than crookedness. The same
thing can be truly said of the
other National City Bank and
National City Company transac-
tons which have been brought
to light by the committee. The
company, owned by the bank, is
an instrument for carrying on
a trading business which is il
legal for a bank. That is, it is
a device to get around the law.
Already the country had lost
its confidence in the ban .ers who
controlled business in the "era
Of optimism" These recent dis
closures before the Senate COM
mittee have dispelled the last
lingering illusions which the
American people may have cher
ished with regard to the honesty
and wisdom of the powerful
bankers who controlled the busi-
ness Of the country in the "era
Of optimism" The people know
it now for an era of shameless
rascality.
Charles E. Mitchell, chairman
of the board of the National City
Bank, was a leader in the great
boom. He was not a fy-by- might
speculator of the sort frowned
upon by the conservatives of the
financial community. AS head of
one of the nations largest banks,
he was eminently respectable, a |
pillar of high finance, revered as
a high priest of prosperity. Now
he is revealed as man who
