GOVERNMENT BAN
SET FOR CUTTEN
Grain Trader Cited by Sec
retary Wallace Under !
Futures Act.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government will seek to bar
Arthur w. Cutten, Chicago grain
trader, from doing business In any
contract market in the United States.
The Federal effort was mapped to-
day by attorneys. It will be insti-
tuted at q hearing in Chicago May II.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
cited Cutten yesterday for violation
of the grain futures act. He charged
the trader with conspiracy and COL
lusion, with failure to make reports
required under the act, with making
false reports and with having used
dummy firms" to conceal his true
position on the Chicago market
The charges covered Cutten's opera
tions in 1880 and 1881. Wallace as
serted he was short on 493 of the 582
days he had an open net position, and
attained maximum short positions
during 1880 of 1885, 900 bushels on
June "a and had a peak during the
next year of 6,770,000 on May 10.
Under provisions of the grain fu-
lures act, the Secretary-if the
charges are proved to be true-may
issue an order directing that all con-
tract markets refuse trading privi-
leges to Cutten.
Only Possible Penalty
Seth Thomas. solicitor for the De-
partment of Agriculture, declared
there was no other penalty possible
under the act.
Wallace explained the present act
was useful principally in using moral
suasion on the Business Conduct Com
mittee Of the Board of Trade"
During 1880 and 1881, the complaint
declared, Cutten sold wheat futures
in excess of 100, ,0O0, 900 bushels. It
said that during 1880 he sold wheat
futures short in excess of $1,000 900
bushels and in 1881 was short in ex-
cess Of $4,000, 900 bushels.
I'm the year 1880, during the time
he had an open position in the mar
ket, he was short 79 per cent of the
time, and in the year 1881, during the
time he had an open position In the
market. he was short 80 per cent of
the time" the complaint said.
Wallace charged that during 1880
Cutten failed to report his position
on l49 days. and during 1891 failed to
report on ITO days.
The citation said that Cutten, in
order to cover up his transactions
caused and procured various grain
firms and persons by and through
whom his trades on the Board of
Trade were made, to keep false rec
ords and to make false reports to the
Grain Futures Administration"
Magazine Articles.
Wallace said at his weekly press
conference Cutten was the man who
had articles in weekly magazine of
large circulation" arguing for un-
restricted markets and complaint
about regulations imposed by the
Government.
He added that Cutten was zone of
the great supporters of the law of
supply and demand" and had viewed
with alarm the operations of the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton"
Wallace said the grain futures act
was chiefly instrumental in using
moral suasion on the Business Con-
duct Committee of the Board of
Trade" and added that present COM
modify exchange legislation now be-
fore Congress "is moderate but much
stronger" than the present act.

with regard to the individual ex-

that the individual parts in this plan
ned program are by no means in
flexible or infallible. In some respects
we may have to change the method;
in others, we may not have gone far
enough. Time and experience will
teach us many things"
The President is setting forth the
milestones that mark the achieve
ment Of a new public policy" in his
book. he said.
Some people have sought to de-
scribe that policy as revolutionary.
Perhaps it is. 1t is revolutionary,
however, only in the sense that the
measures adopted and the purposes
that they seek differ from those that
were used before.
If it Is revolution, 1t is q peace
full one, achieved without violence,
without the overthrow of the purposes
Of established law and without the
denial Of just treatment to any indi-
vidual or class.
1t Is Not Fascism.
Some people have called our new
policy fascism.' It Is not fascism
because its inspiration springs from
the mass Of the people themselves
rather than from q class or a group
or a marching army. Moreover, it is
being achieved without a change In
fundamental Republican method. We
have kept the faith with, and in, our
traditional political institutions.
Some people have called it com
munism'; it is not that either. 1t Is
not driving regimentation founded
upon the plans of a perpetuating
directorate which subordinates the
making of laws and the processes of
the courts to the orders of the execu-
tive. Neither does it manifest itself
in the total elimination of any class
or in the abolition of private
party =.
Apart from phrases and slogans,
the important thing to remember is,
I think, that the change in our policy
is based upon a change in the atti-
tude and the thinking of the Amer
ican people-in other words that it
is based upon the growing into
maturity of our democracy ."

NEW YORK, April 12.-Four re-

disclose wide divergences in their es-
Inmates of President Roosevelt,s "On
Our Way"
President Roosevelts new book
demonstrates conclusively that we are
going somewhere" writes Norman
Thomas. the Socialist leader. That
1t does not show where we are going
is. perhaps. to the American tempera-
ment q minor matter.
In his foreword the President does
tell US that everybody, except possibly
DR.. Writ, ought to have known:
Namely. that his new policy is neither
Fascism or Communism. I can vouch
for the fact that it isn't Socialism"
Fascinating Case Study"
Adolf A. Berle. jr., describes the
book as fascinating case study"
There is the technique of per-
suasion. The speeches, naturally, are
the principal example Of these. There
is the technique of governmental ac-
tion; the executive orders. There is
also the record of result in terms of
governmental machinery-this last
being largely in narrative form. which
Is little more than a bare record of
the day-to-day actions taken.
Mr.. Roosevelt, as an individual. has
his own philosophy, and could state
his own objectives. AS a great chef
d'etat. he can use his influence in
moulding the national objectives
towards his own: but he has no busl-
ness to insist that his objectiyes are
necessarily those of the Nation. 1t
Is perhaps IN this restraint that his
greatest quality lies. 3"

There is kind of pedantic theor-
iztng about government" declares

mands that the new deal be inter-
preted IN terms Of a scheme of polit-
ical regeneration, complete in all
aspects and containing within its ca
paclous program not only a guide to
the present, but a prophecy Of the
future.
If one judges by the present con-
dition Of the patient as compared with
that Of a year ago. the household
remedies are quite adequate, provided.

collection Of presidential proclama-
tions, addresses, outgivings, hopes and

what the new deal is, the fundamental
