CENSURE SOUGHT
FOR MISS PERKINS
California Legion Will Get
Attack ON Failure to
Deport" Radicals.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 13.-
Censure of Secretary of Labor Perkins
for failure to proceed with deporta-
ton proceedings" was sought yester-
day as the California Department of
the American Legion began a drive
for stricter enforcement of laws
against subversive elements.
Resolutions prepared for the an
nual State convention, now in session
here, recommended, besides censure
of the Secretary, transfer of the duty
of deporting alien radicals from the
Department of Labor to the De-
partment of Justice, and Tightening OF
California treason" statutes.
"Strife and Violence" Cited.
Made public today by A. Louis Be-
lotti, chairman of a special Ameri-
canism committee named by Homer
Chaillaux, State commander, each
resolution cited "a series of events of
strife and violence which have swept
this Nation" and charged they were
incited and prolonged "by the Com
munist party and its affiliated organi-
cations"
The resolution naming Miss Perkins
recommends:
THAT this convention does cenSure
Nine. Secretary Perkins for her in
activity, lack of interest and failure
to proceed with deportation proceed
ings against alien radicals, and for
the further fact that by reason of
such inactivity she extends
to and gives aid, deliberately or in
directly, to such undesirable aliens
and subversive organizations now ac-
lively engaged in attempting to over
throw the Government of
this Nation"
The second charges that the De-
partment of Labor has failed miSer-
ably in performance of the duty of
deporting undesirables, whereas the
Justice Department has demon
strated recently, in the Dillinger and
other cases, its efficiency and ability"
Public Statements Cited.
1t points to public statements by
Miss Perkins that the Department of
Labor lacked funds for an active drive
against undesirables and declares that
mo apparent effort has been made to
rectify this condition If it does exist. I"
Each of the first two resolutions, if
finally adopted, would be submitted
to the next national convention of
the American Legion for action.

here for the unlimited coinage of sill
yer in a specific ratio to gold.
The Federal Treasury has now said
it would not only carry out in good
faith the promise the United States
made at the London Conference,
namely to buy certain quantities of
silver over a period of five years
and the other nations promised to do
likewise-but America is now doing
some extra buying which the other
nations really haven't had the means
to do.
Having bought silver, America
wants to do something with it. Silver
may not be as fashionable as gold as
a base for currency issue, but 1t Is
better than nothing. And eventually
if America takes the lead, silver may
come to have the $1.29 per ounce
value which it is supposed to reach
ultimately.
Fears Unjustified.
Currency imitation as understood
throughout history is the issuance OF
currency by a government which has
no metallic reserve or very little OF It,
America has more gold than any ma
ton in the world. She intends now
to part with some of it and take sill
yer in exchange. The result of the
experiment is too far off to see clearly,
But its only present danger is that
people may lose confidence in the
Governments ability to redeem and
believe this is but the starting point
for unlimited currency expansion
backed by no metal at all. Such fears
are understandable. especially since
the Federal Government does not ex-
plain its policies clearly, but the fears
are nevertheless unjuStified.

Naturalization of silver doesn't
mean much" says Senator Burton K.
Wheeler of Montana, but it's "a step
in the right direction"
In an address last night he reaf-
firmed his belief that the only road
to prosperity is the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
Naturalization, he said, will cause
slight imitation, because the people
who now have silver will have to con-
vert it into cash, and to that extent
there will be imitation"

FACE WEAK MART
Attitude of Reserve Banks
important as Autumn
Financing NearS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Systems atti-
tude toward buying Government
bonds assumed growing importance
today as the Treasury faced a $1,700,-
100000 job of September financing.
With its long-term 3 per cent Gov
ernment bonds selling below par, the
Government must meet Sl,700, ,000, 900
of called and maturing obligations
next month.
Recent weakness Of the Govern
ment bond market has created new
problems in connection with the Sep
tember Is financing. These presuma-
bly, were discussed Saturday. when
Gov. Black of the Federal Reserve
Board conferred with President
Roosevelt.
Problem May Increase.
Unless the bond markets view OF
Government scredit improves it is
Conceivable that the attitude Of the
Reserve banks toward further acqui-
sition of the Nations obligations may
be of increasing consequence.
The reserve banks holdings Of Gov
ernments has remained virtually sta
tionary around S2,430. 100000 since
November 8, 1888, but in the six
months before that the system sup
ported the market by buying $780,
600 900. The reserve banks cannot
be compelled to buy Government
bonds.
On September IS the Nation must
pay off $1,000 0,00O, 900 of called fourth
414 per cent Liberty bonds, as we'll
as S524 100000 of maturing certif1-
Gates of Indebtedness. Treasury Off
cials indicated some time ago that
favorable market conditions might
bring a long-term offering to refund
these as we'll as some of the other
short-term debt in the financial pic
ture.
Concerned Over Market.
Recent weakness in Governments,
however. which brought long-term
Treasury IS down almost to SO on
Saturday, has radically altered the
outlook and Treasury officials now are
concerned with market that, in spite
of Government support. offers no in
centive to borrowing any more than
necessary.
Holders of Liberties doubtless will
be offered long-term bonds in ex-
change, as in the past, but unless
conditions change the certificates are
considered likely to be handled with
an issue maturing in possibly 1S
months to two years.
In the next II months about S.
000. .000, 900 of maturing debt must be
met by issuing new obligations, in ad-
dition to those necessary to finance a
projected $4,000 100000 emergency
spending program.

With 800 deputized citizens

Jailings, court injunctions and
threats of military rule, punctuat-

the campaign one of the most hec-
tic in New Orleans political his

The Long angle, injected by
Mayor Semmes Walmsley, leader
of the old regulars, who broke
with Long as the senator, placed
his own ticket in the field, headed
by John Klorer.
Francis Williams, independent,
was also centered in the campaign
