LEADER PROMISES
ORDER IN ARIZONA
Governor Backs Statement
in Japanese-White Farm
erS' Dispute.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHOENIX, AriZ., August ga
threat of violence in the Salt River
Valley, where anti-alien farmers seek
to oust japanese agriculturists, was
answered today by the group leader
with declaration there would be no
disorder if he could help it.
Backing this statement, made by
Fred Kruse, was Gov. B. B. Moeur's
assurance to the State Department at
Washington that he believes Arizona
can handle the problem without in
volving the United States and Japan
In controversy.
Violence Is Banned.
There will be no violence at any
time if can help it," said Kruse.
''I feel sure that the common sense
of Arizonas citizens will prevent any
violence" Gov. Moeur telegraphed
Acting Secretary of State William
Phillips
With State and county officials seek
ing to convince irate white farmers
that violations of the State alien land
law should be handled in court and
not by extra-legal forces. the farmers
called a meeting for Saturday night
to hear an official report on progress
against alleged violators of the law.
Alien Owners Barred.
This law prohibits ownership and
leasing OF Ii nd by aliens.
Saturday night previously had been
set as the "deadline" for the Japa-
nese farmers to leave.
The custer order was directed
aqainst japanese in the Fowler dis
tr ct of the Salt River Valley who,
farmers said, had been increased to
1000 by a recent influx from Cali
fc MA
The ardor of the farmers who
issued the order cooled notably,
County Attorney Rene L. Jennings
said, when he appointed some of their
leaders as special investigators to run
down asserted violations of the alien
land law.

Reorganization, CO ordination,
smoother functioning of the admin
istrative machine-these were words
and phrases heard just about the time
the Government had been in the war
for a year or so.
Now, as the Roosevelt administra-
ton. which has been in power nearly
year and a half. surveys the scene,
analyzes the mistakes it has made
and the barriers that lie ahead, there
has come a natural demand for bet
ter teamwork in both personnel and
policies.
Too often in recent months the
criticism has been made, and justly,
too, that the right hand in Govern
ment didn't know what the left hand
was doing. One agency or department
of the Government would take step
which would, unintentionally of course,
but nevertheless effectively. nullify the
action taken by another bureau Of the
same Government
People Confused.
The people aggrieved or affected by
such contradictions could not under
stand it. To them it was all the same
Government, no matter what the
name of the alphabetical agency or
department '-.
AS for the people inside the Gov
ernment, they. on the other hand,
seemed to live In water-tight compart-
ments. They have adhered rigidly to
the rules and regulations laid down
for their own tasks, and, If this has
run counter or opposite to some other
rules and regulations, laid down by
another bureau, well, the answer has
been a shrug Of the shoulders and a
sigh that "it's just too bad" but there
was the law and there, in black and
white, were the instructions.
At bottom, of course, Congress is
to blame. For 1t enacts a hodge
podge of statutes and leaves it to the
executive branch of the Government
to straighten out inconsistencies,
little realizing that often the law it
self has to be revised or amended to
get the necessary authority to make
plans work efficiently.
Broad Powers Help.
Fortunately or unfortunately. the
broad powers granted by Congress to
the Roosevelt administration permit
an unprecedented flexibility in the
executive establishment. That's why
the President has ordered studies
made on how best to coordinate the
different parts Of the Federal ma
chine.
Primarily, such job is dificult
one because the President alone
knows in what direction he wants to
60 in the matter of public policy,
how far he wants to repress initiative,
regulate profits, tax earnings or force
up wages. If the new deal we're less
opportunistic and knew from day to
day what 1t really wanted to do, 1t

He is highly desirable in undertak-
ing imitation for the Government to
seize all gold and silver. Such ac-
ton keeps these precious metals in
the country and yet out of public
circulation in competition with paper
money. That has been done. An
other desirable step is to devalue
gold and get a big reserve profit in
the Treasury. That has been done.
The merit step mould be to de-
pdlue the SilUer dollar commenSur-
ately luith gold, thus dccumuldting
silver reSerue profit in the
Treasury.
BY thus cutting the content of the
silver dollar, the Treasury also could
hasten the day on which silver would
be established at the promised 25 per
cent ratio with gold. 1t would have to
buy very little additional silver to
reach the ratio goal. The Treasury
would also then have a theoretical sill
yer as well as gold profit, against
which it could issue 81 to S billions
of new eurrencyc That would be a
limited monetary Initiation and a fairly
sound one, because the new money
would be backed by gold and silver,
although at,a deprecated value.
1t may sound complicated, but it
is relatively simple okkeepffig
trick. The Government merely in
creases the price of its gold and silver
reserves arbitrarily, and
uses the profit 10 issue currency.
How much good it would do is a
matter for debate.
Might Pay Debt.
The new currency issue probably
would be used to pay of the public
debt That would be the logical thing
to do. In that case, the money would
only replace existing bonds in banks
and insurance companies now already
overloaded with money. However, it
might create an inflationory psychol-
ogy and thus stimulate buying.
This is just cne of the plans being
talked of-in fact, it is the only
logical inflationary plan being dis
cussed. There is no reason to believe
it will be adopted. Instead, there
are very good reasons for believing
that the Government has made no
definite monetary plans for more than
80 days in advance.

HOUSING EXPERTS
FROM EUROPE HERE
Visiting Trio Is Offering
Benefit of Experience

What's What

Initiation Zip" Again
Spread but Hearers
Doubt Story.
BY PAUL MALLON.

again. 1t is being encouraged
particularly by the fact that
every near-insider in Washing
ton and New York has heard
that leading Government adviser re-
Gently predicted it, off the record, to
so or more people. He did not say
how much or when.
The method he chose to spread the
word has caused many people to doubt
the value of the prediction. When
any one lets so many people in on
such a highly speculative secret, 1t
usually is not very good secret.
The truth seems to be that the ad-
ministration is trying to sing two
different tunes on the money piano
at the same time. That is what was
done on silver.
The naturalization motif had
an inJlationdry undertone, but
thoroughly firm money melody.
The intldtionary hints are sup
posed to driue stdgnant money out
OF hoCrding before prices 90 higher.
The sound money melody is de-
signed to Soothe the ears OF GoU-
ernment bondholderS.
1t takes a master political pianist TO
attempt those two themes at the same
time.
Possible Method.
More interesting than that, how
ever, is the fact that certain money

undertake a convincing moderate
money imitation. They base it on
what already has been done with gold

there was any split such as that re-
ported.
Richberg denied reports the Presi-
dent changed his plans of going di-
rect to Hyde Park from Illinois solely
because of the N. r. A. situation.
I'm on the spot" Richberg told
newspaper men in his Office in down.

headquarters. II have absolutely moth
ing to say about these stories about
o rift"
Richberg said there had been a
great deal of misunderstanding about
his new position as head of the
emergency council, which includes all
the alphabetical agencies as well as
the regular departments.
MY job isn't job to boss other
people" he said I'm trying to bring
these things into proper harmony Of
operation"
Unofficial observers OF the N. r. A.
situation believed whatever differences
existed among the new deal advisors
were due to whether the proposed
board to govern N. R. A. should have
actual control along with johnson
or should be dominated by him as
now.
Permanency Believed Goal.
In planning for reshaping the N. R.
A., 1t is felt certain that whatever is
agreed to by the President must have
an aspect of permanency. He has in
mind the fact that the act of Congress
creating the N. r. A. expires June 16
next. 1t goes without saying that this
major force in his recovery program
cannot be left to die then. 1t must be
carried on until the time arrives when
it is no longer useful. Therefore, the
plan for the immediate future of this
agency must necessarily incorporate
what the President has in mind for its
life after the date set by Congress for
its end.
Moreover, what Is agreed upon to
put into effect at once may be &C
cepted as forerunner Of what the
President will recommend to Congress
when the time arrives for action on
the future life Of the N. r. A.
Other differences in Federal circles
were believed to have arisen over
whether Federal supervision should
be relaxed under the new set-up, with
private industry being given control
Of its own affairs through the code
authorities.
Greater Control Urged.
Another group was said to feel
Federal control should be increased,
with an acceleration Of legal efforts
to enforce code compliance.
Indications that private enterprise
could expect to be given more control
Of its own affairs were seen by some
officials in Secretary Roper's speech
last night in which he said that busi-
ness was rapidly getting back on its
own feet and thus relieving the Gov
ernment of responsibilities which nor
mally belonged to business.
Commenting on that part Of the
speech in which Roper said the Roose-
welt administration was "squarely be-
hind" the principle of private profit
as long as the system was not abused,
Richberg said he had repeatedly fav-
ored a competitive economy as op-
posed TO a controlled economy"

HELEN MORGAN HELD
SOBER DURING SHOW
Actors Equity Beard Says Fail

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, August 23.-Helen
Morgan, the attractive brunette torch
singer, was acquitted of charges of in
toxication early today by board OF
arbitration of the Actors Equity AS
sociation.
The battle between the actress and
Myron c. Pagan, producer, ended in
O draw. ,
The board decided that. Miss
Morgan had not been intoxicated dur
ing the two opening performances OF
the play Memory at the Biltmore
Theater here last May and conse-
quently was not responsible. for the
flop Of the play.
On the other hand, the board de-
cided that if the actress did not COL
lect her salary it was because her
husband, Maurice Maschke, jr., did
not give it to her. 1t also decided
that Pagan, the author and producer
of the show, did not owe Miss Morgan
for costumes which she purchased for
the performance out of her own funds
These decisions were reached after
q hearing that lasted from yesterday
morning until the early hours of
today.

HOLLYWOOD, August 23.-A
make-believe temperamental outburst
before the cameras yesterday resulted
in minor injury to Gloria Swanson
film star.
With a company on location in the
Pasadena Busch Gardens, Miss swan
son had a scene in which, as the
climax of a display OF temperament
she was to jerk down the already
frayed rope of a swing to emphasize
her final remark.
The rope did not come loose from
the heavy iron ring by which it was
attached to the tree branch 20 feet
above her, but instead brought the
iron ring down with it. The metal
object struck the star on the head,
knocking her to the ground.
Studio officials said the fact the
actress was wearing a heavy helmet
type hat saved her from more serious
injury.

would be simple matter to promul-
gate interpretations OF that broad de-
cision, so that the subordinate officials
would be guided accordingly.
Perhaps, too, even If Mr.. Roosevelt
decided he wanted to veer consider
ably away from the capitalistfc ;ys-
tenn, his colleagues in Government
would find it easier to administer
their tasks because, at least, they
would have a definite chart by which
to steer.
Steering Middle Course.
But Mr.. Roosevelt is steering a
middle course. He Is trying not to
go too far to the left and yet retain
the confidence of the right. Only the
few Government officials who know
what he has in mind can possibly
pursue their work intelligently and
without risk of inadvertently throw
ing monkey wrenches into the whole
plan.
Take the question Of N. r. A. and
A. A. A. They have had conflicting
purposes from the beginning. As N
r. A. was forcing up labor costs and
increasing the prices of articles the
farmer was buying, A. A. A. was
struggling to get farm prices and bur-
chasing power up to meet city prices
developed by the N r. A. levels If
the A. A. A. had had its way, the
N. R. A. would have proceeded more
slowly so as to give agriculture a bit
Of start.
1t Is precisely this problem of CO.
ordinating the field of economic acts,
especially when Government itself is
such a factor in the conduct of busi-
ness and agriculture nowadays, which
makes necessary some sweeping
changes in administrative procedure.
The economic life of the country is
sensitive to Government restrictions or
the use of Government funds to aid
certain groups in competition with
others. Also, there is in the back
ground the irrepressible problem Of
where the money Is coming from to
keep on subsidi1ng private interests.
Roosevelt Given Plan.
Mr.: Roosevelt has received from
to change the functional organization
Of Government. Certainly the per-
manent departments, with their vast
body Of law, must somehow be blended
with the emergency agencies, or the
latter must be superimposed on the
former, in q much more effective way
than has yet been devised hereabouts.
The governmental machinery has
been stumbling along largely on emo
ton, vast expenditures and an amaz-
ing enthusiasm inspired by Mr.. Roose-
velt himself. But the patient-the
economic structure Of the country
shows signs of too much tinkering on
its several parts and lately a feeling
Of defeatism and despair because Gov
ernment itself Is 50 full Of clumsiness
and inconsistencies.
Hence. Mr.. Roosevelt is on the right

HYDE Park is a. retreat where
President Roosevelt can run visitors
in and out without any one being
