At least, some of the Republican
marionette men whose names do not

request a public statement. They feel
the party has right to know.
They may ask. all right, but the

that Mr.. Hoover will continue to put
himself forward automatically with

it Is only natural for any man to

But (and there Is virtual unanimity

this) there Is hardly chance in four

Russia will buy railroad equipment,
machinery for making new automobile
models and other products of heavy
industry. In addition the Soviets will
buy cotton. The railroad equipment is
needed badly for modernization of
weak transportation system.
In return Russia expects to sell
sausage castings, certain grades of iron
ore, manganese, furs and dairy prod
ucts in large quantities to the United
States.
The pact, concluded by the exchange
Of notes between Ambassador Bullitt
in Moscow and Maxim Litvinov, COM
missar for foreign affairs, provides for
no further loans to Russia and makes
no mention of the more than $7OOOO0,-
600 In debts contracted by former Rus
sian governments. 1t is in line with
Secretary Hull's policy Of trade agree
ments. For these two reasons espe-
cially 1t is attacked by many Repub-
licans and not a few Democrats in con-
gress. Senator Pat McCarren of Ne
vada was one of the angriest of these
gentlemen. He declared Secretary Hull
was prize diplomatic dupe" and an
nounced that he would demand an i'm
mediate modification of the reciprocal
tariff act to rescind powers under
which Hull is negotiating such treaties.
Key Pittman, chairman of the senate

gram.

Already the committee has begun its
work, the first witness being Repre-
sentative Brewster of Maine, who de-
clared Thomas G. Corcoran, New Deal
lawyer, had tried to force him to vote
for the death sentence" provision in
the utilities bill by threats of STOP
ping work on the Passamaquoddy
project. Corcoran was then put on the
stand and denied the main features of
Brewster's story, whereupon the Maine
congressman shouted, You're liar"

activities in behalf of the utilities
measure. He said he was assigned to
help with the original drafting of the

Echoes and Memories
Stir on Old Missouri

What long silent echoes the Frank
lin d. Roosevelt must have stirred
to life among the blue hills crowding
the Missouri river as its deep-throat-
ed blasts heralded It's arrival at
Kansas City recently.
Gone are the scores of vessels that
contributed to the making of this
city on the Missouri's elbow. Their
wooden carcasses slowly are petrify-
ing below the turbid tide of the
stream or they slowly are rotting at
wharfs far from the scenes of their
original activity. They served their
day. They made possible the open
ing of great and fertile area to the
later railroads. then bowed to that
new form of transportation.
They left only memories tinged
with romance. Still living in the hills
along the Missouri are persons who,
in the prosperous river days, could
identify by the tone of its whistle,
long before it could be seen, any of
the regular steamboats, plying past
Kansas City.
There must have been something
missing for them as they listened to
the Roosevelt. The sound of its
whistle does not duplicate that of
the old steamboat. 1t is not steam
boat and no effort has been made to
play to the traditions of the steam
boat. 1t represents a new era in
river transportation from its whistle
to its propellers.
1t has no bullying and picturesque
sidewheels. 1t is not a stern-wheel-
er. 1t does not have steam boilers
nor sweating stokers. Its twin
screws, propellers in miniature of
those which drive ocean liners, are
driven by powerful Diesel motors.
They are supplied from oil tanks,
not coal bunkers. Yet the Roosevelt

wrote, but added in letter that he
expects a court test and that the
American Federation of Labor will get
"the best legal talent"
Green in pamphlet sent to member
unions of the federation advises them
'to be absolutely sure of their ground"
before prosecuting employers under the
Wagner act.
Even if the Wagner law is knocked
out by the Supreme court, the admin
istration believes it has q plan that
will avert at least 90 per cent of the
usual number of strikes, walk-outs,
lock-outs and other disorders. 1t is
being launched in Toledo, Ohio, and
has been called the toledo plan" be-
cause it was conceived by Assistant
Secretary of Labor Edward F. McGra-
dy when he was trying to settle q
dispute in that Ohio city.
1t has no sectional characteristics ;
carries no federal compulsion. and
rests solely upon the willingness of
workers and employers In every city
that adopts the plan, to abandon the
harsh economic weapons of old and
substitute peaceful discussion for
violence.
Mr.. McGrady explained the plan this
way:
A panel of business and labor lead
erS of equal number is chosen with a
federal official to act as chairman.
This official presumably would be one
who has made record in the regional
labor service setup under the national
labor relations board.
The employer would continue to
bargain with his workers as usual. In
event of a disagreement between them
the workers agree not to strike and
the employer agrees not to lock out or
discriminate against the men as the
issue is carried to the panel.
This group debates the problem and
If it is unable to agree the heads
of the business and labor representa-
tiveS on the panel and the federal
chairman continue seeking an avenue
of settlement. If they are unable to
agree then an appeal is made direct to
the owner of the business involved
and the head of the union controlling
the workers.
Only after all lanes of compromise
have been closed, can a strike be
called.

WIHEN one witness before the

the time being and, according to re-
port, left the writing of it to certain
brain trustees of the Treasury depart
ment. The public hearings had been
noisy, full Of chickering's and probably
of no use whatever.
Administration leaders then began
planning for postponement of the pro-
posed tax legislation until the winter

welt had consented to this course pro-

DERHAPS it was the summer heat
In Washington; perhaps there was
a lot of pressure from the direction of
the White House. Anyhow, the back
bones of the house Democrats, recent
ly so stiff against "dictation" by the
administration, weakened most notice
ably when the house took up the re-
drafting of the Tennessee Valley au-
thority act. Nearly all the recent
rebels" among the Democrats fell into
line and the bill was shorn of every
major provision that was objection
able to the President. These amend
ments were approved:
To delete clause saying the IVA
must sell power or chemicals at not
less than cost after July 1, 1887.
To let the iva operate without alb
solute control by the comptroller gen.
eral over its expenditures.
To delete a section preventing the
agency from constructing power lines
paralleling existing private ones.
To let the authority decide whether
private interests may build dams or
appurtenant works on the Tennessee
river or tributaries.
This victory greatly heartened the
administration forces, and they pressed
forward to try for another in the con
ference on the utilities bill. Also in
the senate they carried on deter
mined fight for the amendments broad
ening the powers of the AAA. Sena-
tors Borah and Byrd were the chief
opponents of the New Dealers in this
latter battle.
