TO REPORT NAMES ALL PERSONS WITHDRAWING GOLD
 FROM MEMBER BANKS

WASHINGTON, March S-9, (P)l
 Expressing qualification on the pledge of cooperation from Con. gressional leaders. President Roos- eyelt in a statement early today, predicted the immediate passage of the emergency banking pro gram. by the Senate and House soon after it's introduction in bill form.
 The President said he. had T conference with members of the Senate and House lover the mea- sure Athieh has been carefully studied and prepared, which. he be- lieves will immediately relieve the financial situation confronting the country, at once and start bank ing operations throughout the en- tire country"
 Details of the plan are not dis. closed. In the meantime the Sec rotary of the Treasury has launch ed a drive upon gold hoarders with thinly yelled threat of pub fishing the names as are.
 Secretary. Woodin's direction Of orders went forward to the twelve Federal Reserve Banks to report the names of all persons who have withdrawn gold from member banks since February 1st, and who fail to deposit it by March 18th.
 Officials while reticent, indicate that the move on the part of Roos eveit's general plan will end the hoarding. Confidence is expressed that a large portion of the gold now held privately will be turned in for other currency before March 18th. With the gold back the hands of the federal authorities can be utilized as basis of con. trol for the currency expansion plan, which has been substituted for scrip money. The idea was originally contemplated by the leaders of both parties who attend ed the presidents conference.

PENALIZING PROGRESS

The law would place these publicy-owned utili-
ties on the tax rolls for all taxation except citv
levies They will be compelled to pay state and

The purpose, of course is plain. It is to protect
the privately owned utilities from comparisons and
discourage the movement toward public owner

who show a suspicious inactivity.
If publicly owned utilities are to be taxed why
not go the limit and put all public property on

Why not put the sewers on the rolls? Some
cities have disposal plans. Others have none Why
discriminate?
For that matter if there be general DISPOSE

under taxation?
Aside from the real danger that courts will de-
clare the whole measure invalid because of this
endeavor to tax publicly-owned property, which
idea may Turk in the minds of the utility lawyers

THE LEAGUE LIVES

If the League of Nations has been dead it is
alive again
No better answer could be made by the league
to its many critics than the report of the commit
tee of nineteen upholding the peace treaties against
Japan. Since all the large powers are represented
on that committee and since virtually all the smaller
league nations have been urging the policy for more
than year, ratification of the report by the full
league assembly next week is considered certain
So far as we can recall this is the first major
case in which the League of Nations or any other
international political organization has had the hon
esty and courage to apply its rule and professions
to a world power.
Despite elaborate rules and pledges of one kind
and another the large powers have managed by
delays and evasions and diplomatic trades to carry
their imperialisns in violation of treaties and
covenants.
Taking only two notorious examples, the years of
hypocritical stalng by league disarmament confer
ences and the leagues failure since September 1881
cite Japan for treaty violation have demonstrated
the capacity Of Great Britain and France to make
a mockery of the league.
Now that there seems to have been a sudden re-
versal of policy need not be too critical of the
immediate causes. 1t is true that American and
Russian policy in favor of the sanctity of treaties
rapidly was making the leagues tactics untenable.
It is true that the alarming emergence of Hitler
Hohenzollern power in Germany helped to brighten
France and Britain the need of keeping treaties
alive 1t is true that the great powers had mis-
used the league for their short-Sghted purposes so
long and had shattered so much faith in its eff
ncacy, that the league rapidly losing all value,
even as a screen for their domination of world
affairs.
But if the European powers have discovered be-
latedly that is to their best interests in the long
run to maintain a real rather than fake league,
we should not complain at their intelligence.
Nations are expected to act in self-interest. The
folly of Great Britain and France in their original
support of japanese treaty breaking was precisely
in their failure to see that they we're digging their
own graves.
With all its faults and weaknesses, the world

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

IT'S the hardest thing in the world for woman to
u trust her own convictions. This is natural
We have been stepped in the traditions of male
superiority for so long that have lost confidence
not in our ability to perform, but in capacity to
think. That's one thing the matter with the world
Very few masculine leaders have any ideals left
Those they profess they have no faith in And
they will not admit that feminine opinions are worth
anything.
So it's easy to see that unless we women build
up some confidence in ourselves the whole kit and
caboodle of us will be in the middle of very bad
fix. Faith will have died in America.
Now I'm not saying that we know any more than
the men, or half much, for that matter But
do say that We believe in certain ideals which
men have discarded at least SO far as applying them
in business and government is concerned.
HERETOFORE we have tried to force ourselves 70
Il Il think as men think, because we were told that
their brains were superior to ours Well. their
brains may be, but from the look OF things right
now, unless they put their mental powers to bet
ter uses. the masculine cerebral power won't he
much of help.
Indeed, the time has come when women must
begin to believe little in themselves in their ideals
of decency and justice and honor-to feel again con
dence in the standards that through 50 MANY crises
have kept homes intact and truth and love and
goodness alive upon the earth
To do this, We first have to accomplish the colossal
task Of understanding plain fact. Men can he
wrong. Some OF our idols have toppled We have
glimpsed the clay feet of our great male gods.
Why, then, would it be foolish to assume that
where ruthless masculinism has failed so denorahlv
softer, gentler, charitable tactics might not
succeed?
Today mankind everywhere faces the dawn of
new era. 1t comes Nothing can retard the march
of its sure arrival And whether we live under
democracies or relationships, new set of values
will exist.
Human values living beings, rather than dead
dollars, will become the chief concern Of govern
ments. And when that happens, feminine ethics
and idealism viii have triumphed.ao

"NICETY OF DETAILS"

The job Of defending the third degree usually
falls to the brutal and lazy policeman who uses it,
in lieu of evidence to wiring confessions from the &C
cused. In Pennsylvania, recently, judge defended
the practice, and thereupon had himself reversed by
the state supreme court.
In the procuring of confessions sometimes the
nicely of details must be governed BY the necessity
Of circumstances" said Judge McDevit in charging
a Philadelphia jury that tried and convicted young
William Brown who confessed under police torture
to killing 8-year-old girl.
This is error" ruled Judge Maxey in granting
Brown new trial. mo principle of law is settled
better than that confessions secured by brutality or
by any other form of duress are vitiated"
OF course, the young Negroes confession was
useless as evidence. He told of threats of mobbing
super-heated room, backjacks curses, hunger.

come under the trial judges term, nicely of de-

He would have been executed but for Justice
MaXeys reversal on his showing of a forced confess

On this widespread American practice the Wick
ersham commission reported: ITO defend the third
degree is to advocate lawlessness-often fragrant
and hahtual-comn1itted by those specially charged
with enforcement of the law"
Confessions wrung through torture are not adj
missions of human guilt, but admissions of human
terror and despair
