new P.W.A. POLICY
TO BUY ABROAD HIT
Steel Mills Protest at Order
Borrower Must Save IS
Per Cent or More.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 26.-A p. W. A.
order requiring purchase of foreign
steel with public works funds under
certain conditions was attacked today
by the steel industry. A protest al
ready has been filed in Washington.
Existence Of the order was disclosed
yesterday by Eugene G. Grace, presi-
dent of the Bethlehem Steel Corp.
Grace said the order, signed by q
P. w. A. deputy administrator, re-
quires that "a borrower of money
must buy foreign material where the
value Of the order is $4,000 or more
and the price Is Is per cent less"
The ruling, Grace said. applies not
only to steel, but to all construction
materials.
The Bethlehem Steel head declared
that foreign manufacturers could sell
their steel in the United States at Is
per cent or more under the domestic
price and still make a profit. He
said that If the p. w. A. order is
rigidly enforced 1t will impair the
steel industry's share of the s4,00O,-
100000 public works appropriation.
Grace said the average hourly wage
rate for steel workers in this country
during May was 651z cents an hour.
while abroad the average rates were
Is cents for England, II cents for
Belgium and 20 cents for Germany.

AALBERSE STRIVES
TO FORM CABINET
/.
Catholic Leader of Neither
lands Called by Queen
in GuiIder Crisis.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, July 26.-Queen Will
helmina charged d. p. Aalberse,
Catholic party leader. with the for
nation of q new cabinet today, con-
stituted on as broad q base as pos
sible.
The Catholic leader, received by the
54-year-old Queen today after Prem
Ter Hendryk Collin presented his res
ignation in the political and financial
crisis, was understood to have been
requested by the Queen to report his
decision within the next few days.
After accepting the designations OF
Collins ministers, the Queen en-
powered the former premier to take
whatever steps necessary, pending the
formation of a new cabinet, for de-
fense of the guilder. f....
The old cabinet also was asked to
deal with any other urgent matters
and to submit legislative measures to
parliament If necessary.
The Catholic party, headed by Aal-
berse, is represented by % Of the
Chambers 100 members, and It's leader
therefore was forced TO seek support
outside his ranks.
The ministers presented their resig-
nations last night after the Bank Of
the Netherlands raised its discount
rate from to per cent in an effort
to keep the guilder on the gold
standard.
The money market watched the
political situation closely, with spec
ulators pursuing a relentless drive
against the guilder.

FLEETS MARINES
TO QUIT QUANT|CO
Headquarters Of Force Will
Be Moved to San
Diego, Calf.

Mai. Gen. John H. Russell. COM
mandant Of the Marine Corps, and his
staff are preparing to move the head
quarters of the Fleet Marine Force
from Quantico. Va. to San Diego.
Calf. it was learned today. The shift
will take about so officers and 800
enlisted men to the West Coast.
Two controlling reasons are given
for the movement-the desire to have
the Fleet Marine Force nearer the
United States Fleet, with which it is
dsigned to operate, and the inability
of officers to secure proper housing in
Quantico or its immediate vicinity.
Maj. Gen. Charles H. Lyman, now
the commanding general Of the Fleet
Marine Force, is expected to remain
at Quantico in command of the post.
Service rumors point to the selection
OF Brig. Gen. Douglas C. McDougal,
former assistant commandant of the
Marine Corps, and now on duty as
commanding officer at the Marine
Corps Base at San Diego. as the new
head OF the, Fleet Marine Force. In
dications are Col. z. P. Moses, in
command OF the Marine Barracks here,
will go to the West Coast as chief of
staff to Gen. McDougal.
Housing Objections.
Marine Corps officials here have
long complained about the housing
situation at Quantico Unable to find
suitable places to live,s it was said,
some of the officers must reside in
Washington and commute IS miles
to Quantico. In San Diego. on the
other hand. they said, there are
plenty of houses that can be secured
at reasonable rentals, within 10 min
utes of the post.
The statement has been made that
some Of the officers have to live in
tourist camps adjacent to the Quantico
post. The Marines have been unable
to secure adequate funds from the
Public Works Administration or other
sources, with which to construct ap-
officers quarters at Quantico.
The change of the headquarters to
the West Coast Is expected to take
place next month, depending on the
transportation situation. This outfit
will be placed aboard one of the naval
transports and sent through the
Panama Canal
Officials said they expect that within
the next three or four months the 900
men slated for withdrawal from Guam
tico will be replaced with recruits now
under training at Paris Island. S. c.

member Of the House from Ohio and
later White House liaison officer, will
meet soon with Secretary of the In
terror Ickes to get orienated on his
new assignment as Undersecretary. to

President Roosevelt.
While rumor persists that Secretary
Ickes had no hand in the selection,
he nevertheless expressed himself as
well satisfied with Vests qualifca-
tons.
He Is a very good man and I am
glad to welcome him." the Secretary
remarked.
Ickes evaded questions at yester-
days press conference concerning his
own part in the appointment. Asked
point bank If he had recommended
the new Undersecretary, he replied:
What difference does that make?"
West. he said, will assume gen.
eral supervisory powers" the exact
nature of other duties being left to
an early conference for decision.

expected Senate confirmation of West
would be forthcoming without any
trouble"

is expected to remain the White
House contact man" on Capitol Hill
until the present session of Congress
ends.
The Interior Department post is q
new one created last May. It pays
$4,000 q year, the same West has
been receiving in his of1icial capacity
as deputy governor of the Farm
Credit Administration.

per cent New Dealer, lost the Ohio
Democratic senatorial nomination to
Senator Donahey last year, 1t was un-
derstood the administration would find

In House Two Terms.
West served two terms In the
House. He was on a ways and means
subcommittee which last. session
worked months on an unemployment
insurance bill. That measure was
dropped for the broader social security

A.A.A. SUIT RAISES
ANCIENT QUESTION
Meaning of General Wei
fare" May Be Discussed
Before High Court.
Nv the Associated Pres

By the Associated Press.
The A. A. AS trial will bring before
the Supreme Court this Fall ques-
ton that has remained unsettled
for nearly 160 years:
What did the writers Of the Con-
stitution mean by 'the general well
fare?"
Government lawyers have been dig
ging into the debates of the men who
wrote the Constitution, into old court
cases, and into American history to
find support for a possible argument
that the Government can legally levy
processing taxes on the manufacture
of agricultural products because of
its power to tax ''for the general vel
fare"
The lawyers acknowledge that this
question probably will play role in
the HooSac Mills case, testing the
constitutionality of the A. A. A, and
again in the Moor case, involving the
Bankhead cotton control act. What
arguments the Government will make
in these cases has not yet been de-
cided, but the general welfare clause"
is an important part of the plans
discussed.
Old Time Argument.
The question may carry the court
back to an old argument between the
followers of President Madison ana
adherentS of Alexander Hamilton.
The Constitution gave Congress the
power ito lay and collect taxes, duties,
tmpoSts and eXciSeS, to pay the debts
and provide for the common defense
and the general welfare y = ="
Madison said this spending power"
could be used only in connection with
other powers specifically granted to
Congress by the Constitution, but
Hamilton and his followers contended,
attorneys say, that power to collect
money for "the general welfare car
ried with it power to spend the money,
lnhampered by the specific limita-
tions on Congress laW-making power
in the Constitution.
Discussed by Marshall.
In one decision Chief Justice John
Marshall discussed the general well
fare clause" But that decision has
been cited by both sides in the argu-
ment. Henry st. George Tucker, argu-
ing the case of Massachusetts VS..
Mellon, said Marshall stood for a
Limited" Interpretation of general
welfare" i" to include spending only for
those things specifically given to Con-
gress to control.
A solicitor general of the Nation
argued that Marshall was on the side
of a liberal" Interpretation, giving
Congress authority to collect money
for any public purpose helpful to the
whole Nation.
