BRITAIN YIELDS
IN BARGAINING
ON LIQUOR
By International News servics

BY International News Service
Great Britain today had yield,
ed to the demand Of the Amer
lean trade negotiators that any
increase in Britain's exhausted
liquor quota must be on a bar
gain basis under which the
United States would receive equi-
table concessions.
Following prolonged negoti.
ations with the British govern
ment, the State Department an
nounced an understanding had
been reached whereby this Gov.
eminent agreed to double Brit
aims original liquor quota Of
GOT 900 gallons in return for q
permanent increase Of 1.3 per
cent in the British quota on
American pork products.
Another Victory for U. s.
The understanding represents
another victory for the yankee
trader" policy which President
Roosevelt recently decreed shall
form the basis Of Americas fu-
ture foreign policy.
Britain at first objected to the
principle of bargaining conceS-
Sions in return for permission to
increase it's liquor shipments.
maintaining that in view of it's
unfavorable trade balance with
the United States there should be
no restriction on the flow of Brit
isl liquor.
The American trade negotiators
i.sisted on concessions for Amer
lean goods in return for any in
crease in the British liquor quota,
Increase Is Permanent
Britain then offered to increase
the quota on American pork prod
ucts from 6.3 to 7.6 per cent. This
offer at first was regarded in
official circles here as not Suffi-
cient to warrant doubling of the
British liquor quota, but when the
British government expressed it's
willingness to make the increase
permanent in return for the
doubled liquor quota, which lasts
until March 81, it was accepted.
The State Department an
nounced the British offer to eat
more American pork would result
in an increase of about $1,000,000
in this country's pork trade with
Britain.

MAY | To MARK
CWA END, SAYS
ITS CHIEF

Termination Of all civil works
throughout the country May /
at the latest was set today by
Harry L. Hopkins, Federal ad-
ministrator. If possible, he said,
they should be ended by mid
April.
Even with the projected ap-
preparation by Congress Of $780,
100000, the amount needed to
continue the program to that
date, Hopkins said the Civil
Works Administration will be
"out Of business by May /, and
perhaps sooner"
Demobilization actually will
begin on the first of next month
in some sections Of the deep
South where warm weather and
the resumption of planting will
solve the unemployment problem
in part.
Relief to Continue
Hopkins is counting on in
creased employment in the regu-
lar public works activities to
absorb many Of the temporarily
employed workers in his jurisdic-
tion.
Others are nominally engaged
in farm work which can carry
them after their civil works jobs
are over. Partrtime workers on
seasonal jobs also will be able to
maintain themselves after May /,
it is hoped.
Termination Of the civil works
aid does not mean that Federal
relief will cease at that time, Hop
kinS emphasized. In the mean,
while, he was studying results OBJ.
tanned to date.
The civil works plan was
adopted when it became apparent
the regular public works program
could not expand in time to alb
sorb any considerable part of the
millions Of unemployed workers.
In Poor Condition
One result of the temporary
stop-gap employment under civil
works, it was indicated, will be
a group Of workers much better
physically to cope with their jobs
when regular employment is
available.
A survey of accidents among
civil works employees, and of
accident prevention, has con-
vinced Hopkins that a large.
number of these employees were
in poor condition physically, soft
from enforced idleness, or mex
perienced in the type of work
they were doing.
A program of safety education
is under way, to offset mishaps,
while the daily jobs the workers
are on will condition them
physically.
LONDON, Jan. g GN.S0.-Con.
trary to Washington dispatches,
reporting that the United States
and Great Britain have reached
an agreement whereby Britain in
creaseS the import quota for
American pork, in return for
doubling of the British quota by
the United States, the negoti-
ations are still being carried on,
it was officially stated today.

CANNON RULING
: SPURS DRIVE.
FOR REFORM

. New attempts to enact Federal
Legislation to prevent corruption
Of presidential primaries and
elections was considered by Sen
ate progressives today as a re-
suit Of the Supreme Courts de-
cision in the Cannon case.
... The court ruled that Bishop
Cannon, jr, and his aide, Miss
Ada Burroughs, must stand trial
on charges Of violating the cor
rupt practices act in failing to
report contributions made to in
fluence election Of presidential
electors.
The high court ruled that pres
.tdential electors, heretofore re-
garded as officers of the states,
were exercising Federal functions
at the time.
Ruling Cited
..,, Senate advocates of revision
pointed to significant language
in the decision, in which the
court said:
81 "The importance Of his
= (President's) election and the
% vital character of its relation
ship to and effect upon the
welfare and safety of the
whole people cannot be too
= strongly stated.
"TO say that Congress is
: without power to pass appro-
pirate legislation to safeguard
such an election from the i'm.
: proper use of money or influ.
ence the result is to deny to
the nation in a vital partic-
ular the power Of self pro-
lection"
The Senate group argues that
Congress can enact legislation to
prevent fraud in the election of
delegates to national conventions
which choose presidential candi-
dates, whether they are selected
in primaries or by convention.
The decision marked the end of
q long fight by Bishop Cannon to
escape trial.
Testimony Refused
Previously he had refused to
testify before a Senate committee
investigating his campaign against
former Gov. Alfred E. Smith for
the presidency in 1928, on the
ground that the corrupt practices
act did not extend to presidential
electors.
The case of Bishop Cannon and
Miss Burroughs on the conspiracy
counts of the indictment, which
were upheld, is expected to be set
for early trial in the District of
Columbia Supreme Court.

STEERERS HELP
ROOSEVELT
BY International News Service

President Roosevelt today re-
ceived a pledge of the fullest sup
port of the powerful steering COM
mittee which makes up the legis-
lative schedule of the House.
A subcommittee, headed by Rep
resentative Crosser, Of Ohio, and
also Representatives Cox,
of Georgia; Lozier, Of Missouri;
Taylor, of Colorado, and SABBATH,
of Illinois, all Democrats, called
at the White House to assure the
President of their cooperation.
Crosser declared:
"The Democratic steering COM
mittee authorized this subcOm-
mittee to call and assure Mr..
Roosevelt of our desire to CO.
operate with him in every way
humanity possible.
"The President thanked us
and said he wished we would
call more frequently"

Postal Deficit May Cancel
Two-Cent Local Rate

Possibility that the 2-cent post
age rate on local mail will be
raised again to cents was seen
today as Postmaster General
James A. Farley sought to balance
the postal budget.
While the lower rate was estab-
lished at the suggestion of Mr..
Farley. he has admitted privately
that it was an experiment which
has not worked out as planned,
and he would welcome Congress
sional action restoring the Scent
rate.
When the reduction was made
the Postmaster General believed
The Washington times., 1934-01-09
MRS. MONDELL

that there would be an increased
volume of mail.
Actually however, the lower
local rate in all cities Of the ma
ton has resulted in a loss of
approximately $17,OOo,0O0 in reve-
nue..
It is pointed out that next
year the 2-cent mail rate is
automatically restored, and with
pay of postal employees to be
increased, there will be a huge
deficit unless some action is
taken to raise the present 2-cent
postal rate and continue in ef-
feet the Scent rate.
