EASTERN POINT, Conn. July l.
Gov. H. Styles Bridges of New Hamp-
shire, drafted as a peacemaker to
reconcile factional differences over a
platform, steered a declaration OF
principles through the New England
Conference of Young Republicans yes
terday. The declaration, however,
while deploring conditions in the Ma
ton. refrained for the present from
a complete expression Of opinion on
controversial issues.
The pronouncement Of policies,
greeted with cheers, is expected to be
expanded at another New England
conference to be held September %
and 20 in New Hampshire.
The declaration read: I'VE believe
that any effort to draft a complete
expression Of opinion upon contro-
versial subjects is premature at this
time and should be given further con-
Sideration and study by this commit
tee and by the New England confer
ence. We deplore conditions in this
Nation today, but attacks upon the
administration unaccompanied by a
constructive program will not advance

QUICKLY he decided upon his

On the other hand, he discovered

caught the deadly thrust and the
steel ripped into the flesh of his lower
arm.

AAA TAX DEATH
LATEST BLOW
TO NEWDEA[
Court. Ruling Climax to Series
of Vital Thrusts to Ad-
ministration Policies
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
international News Service

Already staggering under a sue
cession of judicial body lows, the
New Deal was hit squarely in the
solar pleXus today by the Circuit
Court of Appeals decision at Bos-
ton that the AAA processing tax
on cotton is unconstitutional.
The decision was not wholly
unexpected since the Supreme
Court knocked out the NRA. and
the Government will take a
prompt appeal when the Supreme
Court reconvenes in october for
the new term.
Meanwhile, every effort will be
made to continue collection Of
processing taxes in all districts
except that Immediately affected

Boston case, the taxes under the
injunction will be paid Ito the
court, to be held in escrow pend

preme Court according to Depart
ment of Justice and AAA officials.
blow was EApcCtcu
The Administration was rather
prepared for the adverse decision
by the Court of Appeals. Since
the NRA decision few of the Gov
ernment's legal luminaries have
believed privately that the AAA
will stand the test of constitution
atty. The language of the court in
defining interstate commerce and
Congressional powers in relation
thereto in the NRA case was such
as to not offer the AAA much
hope.
Instead of being downcast, Ad-
ministration officials seemed &C
tually relieved that the AAA is at
last headed for a showdown in the
highest court. Chester A. Davis,
AAA Administrator, said:
eve are pleased that the case
is advancing to the Supreme
Court"
He declined further comment.
Beyond saying that the appeal
would be prompt, Department of
Justice officials declined further
comment until they can read the
text of the decision.

plies only to the processing taxes

the judgment of Congress war

GOAL ELUSIVE
"SectiOn Two of the act de.
claring the policy of Congress
in enacting the legislation con-
tains no more than a statement
of the objects Congress had in
view in passing the act, viz, to
establish and maintain a balance
between the consumption and
production Of agricultural COM
mOditieS and such marketing
conditions therefor as will rees-
tabliSh prices to farmers at such
a level as will give agricultural
commodities a purchasing power
with respect to articles that
farmers buy equivalent to the
purchasing power of agricultural
commodities during the five year
pre-war period on July 1909 to
August 1914"
In regard to this the court said

that can be more elusive and
difficult of attainment"
