SCHOOLS STRESS
ALCOHOL MENACE
Or. Kramer Says They viii
Seek to Create Rational
Appreciation.

District public school authorities will
seek to create rational appreciation
of the dangers of excessive use OF alco-
holic beverages, DR.. Stephen E. Kra-
mer, first assistant superintendent OF
schools, announced late yesterday after
O conference with high school pr1ncl-
pals.
The public schools are required by a
48-year- old law to provide regular In
struction in the nature OF alcohonc
links and narcotics, with special at
--ntion "as to their effects upon the
human system. in connection with the
several divisions of the subject of physl-
ology and hygiene"
Denies Events Are Linked.
Discussing the topic of the principals
conference yesterday, DR.. Kramer in
sisted the pending return of liquor to
the District through repeal of the
eighteenth amendment had nothing to
do with our talk" He explained sub
jects of wide school interest are
brought up regularly at the scheduled
conferences and that instruction In the
effects of alcohol was reached in regu-
lar procedure.
DR.. Kramer pointed out such instruc-
tion has been given without Interrupt
ton in the schools even through the
prohibition era. As a matter of fact,
he said the law of 1885, which re-
oures the instruction, also specifies
that no certificate shall be granted to
any person to teach in the public
schools of the District of Columbia or
Territories, after the first day Of Janu-
airy, 1885, who us not passed a salts
factory examination in physiology and
hygiene with special reference to the
nature and effects of alcoholic drinks
and other narcotics upon the human
system" This provision never was re-
laXed and every teacher in the system
has passed such an examination.
Find Methods Adequate.
"In our meeting" Kramer said, I'VE
simply reviewed what had been done
all along in the schools in compliance
with this law and agreed that those
methods were adequate, even with the

Message On Tariffs
 From The President
(Continued from Page l)

Some of the Presidents advisers in congress had ben inclined 10 dissuade him from seeking action on tariffs at this time. The tariff issue, always troublesome one in congress, was likely to lead to prolonged debate. they feared.
 MT Roosevelt, however, felt the action was necessary at this time despite this consideration.
 First. he pointed out in his mes- sage to congress, world trade has declined with startling rapidity and "the drop in the foreign trade of the United States has been even sharper"
 "Our exports in 1893 were put at 52 per cent of the 1929 volume" he pointed out, land 32 per cent of the 1929 value.
 '"Thls has meant idle hands, still machines, ships tied to their docks, despairing farm households and hungry Industrial families" Mir Roosevelt continued. Tt has made infinitely more difficult the planning for economic readjust- ment in which the government is AOW ChSdSCu.
 The President said he believed "every nation must at all times be in q position quickly to adjust it's taxes and, tariffs to meet sudden changes and avoid severe fluctua- tions in both it's exports and its imports"
 He held that full domestic recov- cry depends in part upon re- vived and strengthened interna- tiona1 trade.
 And MT Roosevelt contended al- so that American exports cannot be permanently increased without a corresponding increase in im- ports"
 The President next laid emphasis on the point that other govern ments, "to an ever increasing ex- tent" are capturing exports mar kets through reciprocal trade agreements.
 To meet this competition. he said. this government must be in a position to bargain with other governments "by rapid and de- cisive negotiations" instead of through the old system of treaties

would find itself isolated as recall citrant.'
 It was indicated further that the present national government, strong and enjoying wide popular
 support. would feel itself forced at
 whatever cost to refuse accept ance.
 Frances way out seemed to be acceptance of one proposal in the
 prospective memorandum q non-committa1 conference of Eu-
 ropean powers. At this confer
 ence, as things stood, the chief
 hope seemed to be a meaningless way to complete deadlock as re- gards effective disarmament, and the start of rearmament. Basis for the British memoran- dunn was completed last night when Captain Anthony Eden, Brit- ish Lord Privy Seal, returned to London after conferring with Pre-
 mier Gaston Doumergue, Foreign
 Minister Louis Barthou and others. Eden previously had visited Ber- lin and Rome.
 As Eden outlined features on | were agreed - Doumergue and
 which Britain, Italy and Germany Barthou were said to have, re-
 sponded with Frances classic ob- tections.
 These include:
 1-To permit Germany to rearm
 while for a specified period other
 nations retain their present
 strength would simply mean delay of real disarmament.
 2-France is given no effective
 guarantee against German aggres- sion or against German violation of any agreement. It was under-
 stood to be suggested only that na- tions confer in event of viola
 tion. France is not interested in
 such conferences after the fact. 3--There is no guarantee of ef-
 fective arms supervision as regards | secret armaments. France has documents which, it asserts, prove beyond doubt that Germany at
 present has strong secret arma- 4-Presumably, at the end of
 an agreed period during which | armaments of allied nations would
 remain as they are, Germany and I other "ex-enemy" nations would
 be ollowed to arm themselves fully because they would be freed from the peace treaty clauses. 5--The vexatious problems of | semi-military forces such as the
 Nazi storm troopers is not solved.

FEDERAL RELIEF
 CHIEF REPORTS
(Continued from Page 1.)


 Besides the money spent for re- lief, $400,000,000 was spent on civil works employment. Four million workers earned CWA wages on public mprovements. They were able to provide the necessities of life through their own labor on a scale much better than on relief.
 In return, the communities, the states, and the nation as whole benefited by a vast number of streetS, roads, sewers, water sup plies, playgrounds, parks, schools, emergency education programs, swamp drainage, disease control. airports, erosion prevention, and a thousand other improvements.
 The CWA is now undergoing de- mobilization, with completion scheduled for May 1. For some time, however, consideration has been given to long range planning. The CWA that we have been carry ing out has been a program to give the unemployed decent jobs. I be- lieve that has been done. We have nothing to apologize for in giving unemployed workers jobs, and that goes as well for the unemployed who were not on relief rolls and who received CWA employment. In general the three groups of people in need are: First, dis tressed families in rural areas. Second, those composing stranded populations, such as families living in single industry communities where the industry has died; min CTS in worked out fields are an ex- ample. And third. the unemployed of large cities.
 Relief funds for rural families | will, In the main, be used to help them achieve self-support through agriculture, by assisting them ir getting away from dependence on a single cash crop and changed to the raising of commodities for l their own support. Work for wages from relief funds will be provided to the extent necessary to provide limited cash income.
 In solving the difficulties of the stranded populations, it is likely that many people will have to be moved, for in many instances the places in which they now live off, fer no promise of future employ ment or chance of self-support through agriculture.
 For the unemployed in cities and towns, work programs on projects which normally would be done by public bodies, but which do not compete with private industry. will be carried on to provide employ ment for those able to work.
 Relief will be continued for those who are in need and cannot work. Work will be given for a period not to exceed six months for an individual. This is to fore stall any reliance on such work as a permanent means of support The effort that was prominent Ir CWA fo develop opportunities foi employment of not only unskillcd labor, but a. wide variety of profes' sions, will be continued.
 Needs produced by unemploy' ment still exist. They have beer decreased since March 4, of las !. year. Measures to meet the re quirements that face us will be car ried out with recognition of facts

Full Text Of Tariff Message

Washington, March 2.-(UP)- The text of President Roosevelts tariff message to congress today follows:
 To the Congress-:
 am requesting the congress to authorize the executive to en- ter into executive commercial agreements with foreign nations; and in pursuance thereof within carefully guarded limits to modify existing duties and 1m- port restrictions in such a way as will benefit American agriculture and industry.
 This action seems opportune and necessary at this time for several reasons.
 First. world trade has declined with startling rapidity. Meas ured in terms of the volume of goods in 1893, it has been re- duced to approximately 70 per cent of its 1929 volume; meas ured in terms of dollars, it has fallen to 35 per cent. The drop in foreign trade of the United States has been even sharper. Our exports in 1883 were but 52 per cent of the 1929 volume, and 32 per cent of the 1929 value.
 This has meant idle hands, still machines, ships tied to their docks, despairing farm house. holds, and hungry industrial families. It has made infinitely more difficult the planning for economic readjustment in which the government is now engaged.
 You and know that the world does not stand still; that trade movements and relations once interrupted can with the utmost difficulty be restored; that even in tranquil and prosperous times there is a constant shifting of trade channels.
 How much greater, how much more violent is the shifting in these times of change and of stress is clear from the record of current history. Every nation must at all times be in posi- tion quickly to adjust it's taxes and tariffs to meet sudden changes and avoid severe fiuctua- tions in both its exports and it's imports.
 You and know, too, that it is important that the country pos sess within it's borders a neces- sary diversity and balance to maintain a rounded national life, that it must sustain activities vital to national defense and that such interests can not be sacri- feed for passing advantage.

an all-nation treaty nuder which none would send any armed force across frontier.
 Later he agreed to consultations in case of threats to peace and tried to get congress to give him power to join other nations in embargoes on arms to single ag- gressor nations.
 Those practical policies still stand. But Europe is deadlocked on the arms issue and no progress has been made. Meanwhile, in- stead of disarming by example.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-03-02

Another naval arms conference is scheduled for next year, when the present treaty expires. Its fail ure would mean an unprecedented naval race. Building plans of the Japanese admirals would exceed Washington and London treaty strength, and Japan is sure to de- mand full naval equality with America and Britain-which is likely to upset the conference.
