leaves for the yacht club. He was not
injured but one of the soldiers was
grievously wounded, his right leg be-
ing torn off by an explosive bullet.
Mr.. Caffery went on to the yacht club
calmly and refused to say who he
thought the assassins might be.
Cuban government officials were
greatly excited by the attempt on the
ambassadors life, and there was an
inclination to blame the Communists,
but leaders of that party denied their
followers had anything to do with it.
In recent demonstrations the radicals
have attacked Mr.. Caffery in their
speeches. Presumably the sole pur-
pose is to stir up trouble between the
governments of the United States and
Cuba.
N ELEGATES from the five New
~ England states, New York and
Pennsylvania have signed solemn
pact for the protection of women and
minors In industry, which has been
under negotiation for several years.
The compact, which must be rati-
fed by the legislatures of the several
states, contemplates minimum stand
ards of wages for women and minors
and contains a provision that mo

minor an unfair or oppressive wage"
State boards are to be set up with

National Topics Interpreted

FeelEHects of throughout the Unit
NJ, n..1 ed States suddenly
has become a matter
that is attracting attention, and more
and more repercusslons are to be noted
in the National Capital. Some OBJ
servers tell me they think it is an
indication that the multifarious agen-
cies that have been set up under the
New Deal are at last in full operation
and their effects are now reaching to
the grass roots of the country. How
ever that may be, 1t can be stated
without eQuivocation that the so-called
alphabetical soup (the various admin
istrations and boards and commissions
known only by initials) are making
their presence felt for better or for
worse In the lives of individuals.
cannot agree with the exaggerated
assertion by a leading Republican
politician that 1--WE are subject to Hit
Ter DEGREES from a hundred different
sources" but there seems little doubt
Of vast power being welded by the
various New Deal agencies.
For instance, Harry Hopkins, fed
eral relief administrator, has decreed
that there will be no drought relief
funds for cattle owners supplied by
the federal emergency relief admin
istration unless the holders Of any
mortgages on those cattle agree not
to foreclose such mortgages. And, be
it said, the mortgage holder who re-
fuses to make such an agreement Is
up the well known stump. He can
take the cattle, of course, when the
mortgage natures, but if the mortgages
have many months to run, the cattle
are liable to die of starvation in the
meantime. Without attempting to de-
eide the merit of such policy on the
part of the federal government, the
illustration shows the power that is
welded from Washington.
The Reconstruction Finance corpora
tfon has been exercising its influence
with banks for some time. While
RFC officials insist they are not at
tempting to control policies Of banks,
1t nevertheless remains as fact that
they are exercising voting power in
the boards of directors of numerous
banking institutions. They went so
far in the case of great Chicago
bank as to insist that the man they
selected be elected by the board as it's
chairman. In addition, through the
Federal Deposit Insurance corpora
ton, the bank policies on loans are
closely watched, and this is happen
ing at time when the President and
some of his advisers are strongly urg-
ing the banks to make loans. From
what I know of the banking business,
/ imagine few banks will hesitate on
making loans in large amounts pro-
viding the borrower has some secur-
ity to put up that will assure repay
ment of the funds borrowed.

EXEMPTION of the service indus
- tries from some of the fair trade
practices of NRA codes was authorized
by President Roosevelt in an executive
order. The exemption does not apply
to minimum wages and maximum
working hours, child labor or collec-
tive bargaining The order empowers
Administrator johnson to cease at
tempting to enforce open price sys-
tens. price fixing and other devices on
hundreds of thousands of cleaners, dy-
ers and pressers, barber shops, beauty
shops and the like.
Mr.. Roosevelt in his statement said
that "a trial period of some months
has shown that, while most industries,
after organization for this work and a
little experience with it, can secure
uniform national results, there are 9TH
ers in which a greater degree of au-
tonomous local government Is de-
sirable." Among these are "some but
not alp of the service industries, the
statement aQQeQ.
Enforcement of the cleaners and dy-
ers' code has been especially trouble
some, accounting for more than half
of the blue eagle removals.
Under the executive order, fair trade
practice provisions for service indus
try In a given area may be provided
when IS per cent of the industry In
the area agrees to them and they are
approved by the NRA.
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT signed
the joint resolution of congress en-
towering him to stop arms shipments
destined for countries at war, and i'm
mediately proclaimed an embargo
against shipments of arms or NUM-
tions from the United States to Bolivia
and Paraguay. His action was the
first of its kind in American history.
Because of existing treaties he could
not forbid actual shipment of arms
but he did prohibit their sale in the
United States to the warning coun-
tries.
Costa Durels, Bolivian representa-
tive in Geneva, before an open ses-
sion of the League of Nations council
invoked Article IS, the arbitration
clause Of the league covenant, as
basis for settling the conflict with
Paraguay. If his demand is granted
the dispute will automatically go to
the Worlds Court Of Permanent JUS
tice for settlement. Durels said an
arms embargo would mean the finish"
of Bolivia.

THROUGH administration leaders
i have asserted that labor troubles
are to be expected in time of recov-
cry and that they are not alarmed by
the strikes that are now in effect or
are threatened for the near future, it
was evident in Washington that these
optimists were disturbed by the pros
pect Of general strikes in the cotton
textile and steel industries. 1t was
believed President Roosevelt would
have to intervene in the effort to bring
about peace. Frequent conferences of
officials were without result.
AS General Johnson refused to
change the order permitting cotton
mills to reduce their output by % per
cent for twelve weeks, the United Tex
tile Workers of America summoned all
cotton mill employees to quit their ma
chimes, and it was predicted that 3OO,-
900 would respond. The workers claim
the reduction would amount to % per
cent cut in their wages, and say they
will not stand for.this. They also de-
mand a 30-hour week with no reduc-
ton of pay.
Fighting for recognition of non
company unions, point on which the
steel masters will not yield, the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers announced that general
strike would be called in mid-June I'M
less its members win the right to
choose spokesman freely for collective
bargaining.
The union leaders, who contend the
collective bargaining guaranty in the
MIRA has been violated by employers,
asked:
SIS the American Iron and Steel in
stitute more powerful than the Presi-
dent of the United States?"
ENDEAVORING to learn what small
~ business throughout the country
thinks about the NRA, the national in
dustrial conference board has been
conducting survey that has not
brought definite results. Tabulating
tISSS IcouiLS. do DcSt IL Culi, liC Dodi u
states it found that 344 per cent ia
vored the MIRA as a whole; another

reservations; SO per cent were definite

could not see that it made much diff

CUBA is now entirely freed from
~ United States suzerainty, through
a treaty which was signed at the State
department by plenipotentiaries Of
both countries and ratified by the SEN
ate. The pact abrogates the Plat
amendment providing for the mainte-
nance of the independence and terri
torial and financial integrity of the
island republic and authorizing the
United States to intervene therein for
the protection of the country and the
preservation of order. In the new
treaty the United States retains the
lease of Guantanamo as a naval base.
The people of Cuba rejoiced ex-
ceedingly over the abrogation of the
Platt amendment, and President Men

case: the code for the graphic arts
industries has a provision prohibiting
extension of credit for longer than
two years. That is, printing plant
owner or publisher of country news
paper or any one else wanting to buy
linotype machine had been allowed
sometimes as much as five years in
which to pay for expensive equipment
of that kind. Now, however, he must
pay for it within two years or the
manufacturer will be a code violator
by selling it on long term basis.
Thus, it is to be seen that the code
exerts an influence on what might
be called the innocent bystander. The
country publisher cannot save up gold
with which to pay for the machinery
because he would be criminal to
have gold under present law.
Again declaring that I am not dis
cussing the merit of the proposition,
1t remains as fact that the federal
trade commission is exerting an in
fluence on the type of investments in
dividuals make as a result of it's con-
troll over the issue and sale of shares
of stock or bonds. OF course, the COM
mission cannot reach a corporation
that is doing business only in it's
home state, but the larger corpora
lions engage in business on a broad
er scale than that and the bulk of
shares and bonds, therefore, must not
be issued until the federal trade COM
missions securities experts have de-
termined the facts about the corpora
ton that offers them. 1t is a matter
of record, of course, that numerous
corporations have sold purely blue sky
stock, but the point / am attempting
to make is that here is another federal
influence on the lives of individuals.
There are so many other examples
that could be cited that they would fill
more space than is available here.

wars, until now all sectionalism has
disappeared. He continued:
1--WE are all brothers now In new
understanding. The grain farmers OF
the West do not set themselves up for
preference if we seek at the same time
to help the cotton farmers of the
South; nor do the tobacco growers
complain Of discrimination If, at the
same time, we help the cattle men or
the plains and mountains.
"In our planning to lift industry to
normal prosperity the farmer upholds
our efforts. And as we give the farm
er long sought equality the city
worker understands and helps. All
of us share in whatever good comes
to the average man. We know that
we all have stake-a partnership In

"Today we have many means or

is, think, as survey the picture
from every angle, a simple fact that
the chief hindrance to progress comes
from three elements which, thank
God, grow less in Importance with the
growth of a clearer understanding or
our purposes on the part of the over
whelming majority.
''These groups are those who seek
to stir up political animosity or to
build political advantage by the dis
tortion of facts; those who, by declin-
ing to follow the rules of the game,
seek to gain an unfair advantage over
those who live up to the rules; and
those few who still, because they have
never been willing to take an interest
in their fellow Americans, dwell inside
Of their own narrow spheres and still
represent the selfshness Of sectional
ism which has no place in our national

COING from Gettysburg to New
NJ York, the President embarked on
the cruiser Indianapolis, put out to
sea and reviewed the American, fleet,
which, as assistant secretary of the
navy. he helped to command during
the World war and in which he main
tains the warmest interest. With him
were Secretary Swanson and Josephus
Daniels, the war time navy secretary.
There were some other distinguished
guests, but members of congress tried
in vain to get aboard.
The indianapolis was anchored
about mile from Ambrose lightship,
and So fighting ships passed proudly
in review. The Pennsylvania, flying
the four-starred flag of Admiral David
A. Sellers, commander of the fleet, led
the parade and then, with the Louis
willie, turned out of line and anchored
near the Indianapolis. It was an I'M
posing spectacle, such as had not been
witnessed since the early days of Pres
ident Coolidge's administration.

Secretary of War Dern and Newton

ing the war, appeared before the house
military affairs committee and urged
the passage of the Thompson bill,
which would increase the strength of
the army to 10000 enlisted men and
1908 officers. That the present regu-
lar army is inadequate in the face of
present disturbed world conditions was
declared by both gentlemen.
