Government representatives on
code authorities" said Sloan, from
experience in administration of the
cotton textile code, although they
have no vote, have been our most
influential and useful members"
And Immediately James E. Ben-
nett, of the Printing Equipment
Authority, seconded the thoughtA
Each code is, after all, a law, mad
by group of amateur legislators
We must make up our minds what
to do, do it, and take the conse-
quences."
Concerning the other fundamen-
tai point-placing full authority in
the hands Of the Code Authorities
dominated by trade associations
SWope's plan called for this: Each
Trade Association shall elect an
executive authority to carry out the
provisions of the eode-sometimes
called the Code Authority which
will be the Board of Directors" On
it there should be representative
appointed by the N. r. A. or the
President to protect the public and
consumer interest and receive all
data and information that is avail
able to the Board of Directors
as well as the minutes OF the meet
ings Of the Board of Directors"

won't even attend the meeting but
will receive minutes of the meet
ingsl" This lonely one, who is 10

millions against the few exploiters
represented by from a half to two
dozen, shall receive information"
John Mckinley, Of the Silk Code
Authority, warned one group meet
ing of the Congress of Industry
that they'd better hurry and erect
sham labor front on the bosses
Code Authorities. He said: 1T
would be the better part of wisdom
to accord labor one or two what
generosityl places on the code au-
thorities before pressure became
strong enough to force equal rep
resentation."
But Mckinley was oyer-cautious.
Since the Congress of Industry,
highest government authorities have
made it amply clear that they con-
slider one government representa-
tive on each Code Authority suffi-
cient.
Another point in the Swope Plan
was that the whole question Of COM
pliance under the codes-includin
compliance" in the bogus promise
of collective bargaining to labor
is placed in the hands of the Code
Authorities. AS Swope put it: IF
the governing board of codified
association is unable to exact com
pliance, the complaint shall be
turned over to the Federal Traded
Commission or the Department. of /
Justice"
And this principle the Congress-
OF Industry also adopted. AS Will

Compliance, personally declared to

wording of the auto code read spe-

given the right to form company
unions, which shall be established
through the so called "merit" clause.

The circulation increase is about ten per cent higher than at this time last year.

 Perhaps it is revolutionary, as some people sought to describe, however only in sense that meas ures adopted for purposes differ from those used before it is revolution. It is a peaceful one, achieved without violence.
 Some called our new policy Fas- cism. It is not Fascism because it's inspiration springs from the mass of the people themselves ra- ther than from class or group or marching army.
 Some called it Communism. It is not that either. It is not driv- ing a regimentation founded on the plans of perpetuating director ate which subordtnates making of laws and processes of courts to the orders of an Executive"

French Socks Hold One Third
 Of Nation's Coin; Hidden A,vavI
By JOHN EVANS

PARIS, April 17.-Half enough money to run the whole govern ment of France for a year is hid der awey in the good old wooden sock" of the thrifty F'renchman.
 There can be no statistics on hoarding, but the Bank of France and the government ca1cula e fairly closely how much money is in the banks, in circulation, and how much is abroad. The remain der is what the French have put away for safe keeping" in tin boxes, bottles and jars, hidden in every conceivable way.
 Huge Sums H0arded
 Close to one-third of Frances money is estimated to be in hid ing.
 The last official statement on the subject was by George Bon net, then Minister of Finance, December g, in the Chamber of Deputies. He said 25,000, ,000D00 francs or $l,650,0O0, 900 were hoard ed then when the circulation was $1 900, ,0O0,O 900.
 Bank of France officials thought the figure high, and since then they have asserted part of the money has come out of hiding be- cause big hoarders were tired of getting no interest.
 Robberies of these hoards seem to be few. French peasants, se- cretive by nature, have learned to guard their fortunes.
 Gold Bars Fav0rites
 Burial in the ground is a fa- vorite way of hoarding. Often, money sealed in bottles or jars is hidden in a large peasant home chimineys and in wells, usually by taking out a brick or a stone and digging out recess. Some times banknotes are concealed in books by hollowing out the leaves or by pasting the edges of the two leaves together.
 Gold bars have become more popular with hoarders since France went on the gold bullion standard in 1928 These bars cost about sl4,850 and weigh about thirty pounds. But they are small enough to go in a deep coat pocket.
 Silver Lining in Cloud
 Usually condemned hoarding is not considered altogether evil ev- en by the Bank of France. It means, of course, officials said, that there is a reserve in the country that will come to light when Frances back is to the wall.
 It means also that there is thrift, even if it is miserly thrift. and that the hoarder has a stake in the country and usually in the land and will defend his fortune.

period of political history in Wis cOnsin. He eventually won seat in the United States Senate and after the death of Senator La Toilette shared with the latter's son the leadership of the State Progressive Party machine.
 Senator Blaine's espousal of the Progressive cause earned him the enmity of the regular Republi- cans, but despite that he was in turn State Senator.

In that forward march he suffered only one setback, having been defeated when he ran for Congress at the outset of his poli- tical career

 The only political leadership he ever recognized was that of Fighting Bob LaFollette and with the latters death Blaine charted his own course. His inde- pendence was asserted in several presidential campaigns. He sup ported President Wilson in 1912 and was Vice President of the Wilson National Progressive Re- publican League; he allied himself with Senator LaFollette in the lat ters unsuccessful independent
