Why Compromise Failed.


1t may now be ienied, but the White
House was ready to accept a COM
promise Immediately after Mr.. Roose-
welt returned from Hyde Park, and
suddenly changed its mind. Certain
advisers are supposed to have persuad-
ed the President that any surrender
would weaken his congressional pres
tige and encourage later instructions.
This is why the Robinson compro-
mise failed so mysteriously over the
last week end.
The compromise was actually worked
out by Senator Wagner. although he
remained in the background. In gen.
eral it gave the President discretion
about paying a prevailing union wage.
The trouble with it was that it could
keep Mr.. Roosevelt on the wage spot
all the time. He would have to spend
most of his time settling wage disputes
in different localities.
Lots of Dirt in N. r. A.
There is plenty of dirt inside the
N. r. A. If the senatorial investiga-
tors choose to dish 1t. No other Gov
ernment agency (even the A. A. A.
has so many people in its employ who
are dissatisfied with its administra-
ton, law and command. This IS one
of the reasons why NJ r. A.-ers have
been running around in circles since
the Senate authorized an inquiry. No
one knows who is going to tell on
whom, and how much.
As an instance of the inside N. r
A. evidence available. Ruth Ayers OF
the Consumers Advisory Board On.
R. A. filed a report January 9 which
is a strong indictment of codes con-
tanning provisions contrary to court
consent DEGREES in antitrust cases.
She cites chapter and verse on a
number Of cases tending to show how
N. r. A. has promoted monopoly.
For the information of Senators.
the document Is entitled Private
Price Control and Code Policy"
mo Comment" Creates Difficulty.
There Is inner evidence tnat tne
President is having difficulty keeping
up with his new policy of not COM
rnenting on legislation pending In
Congress.
In that connection it was just ex-
actly a year ago that congressional
committee chairman arose and an
nounced: 1.-THE President Just called
me by telephone a moment ago and
said he hoped the - bill could be
passed"
You may rest assured that tele-
phone lines from the White House to
Congress are still working, and work.
ing overtime. The only difference Is
that no congressional leader will
again make the mistake of getting up
and blurting 1t out.

Something of the same influence

of certain States are reported to have

lief funds. Some of them have been

Governors and mayors do not care

Session to Be Held Soon.

Copyright. 1885, by the Associated Press)
GENEVA, July 26.-The League of
Nations announced today that Maxim
Litvinoff, Council president and Soviet
foreign commissar, planned to call
Council session July 81 to deal with
the controversy between Italy and
Ethiopia.
This announcement by a League
official followed receipt of notes from
both Ethiopia and Italy, in which each
charged the other with responsibility
for the East African crisis. Ethiopia
requested the Council session.
Italy's note attributed to Ethiopia
the blame for the breakdown of the
Cancellation Commission, which col
lapsed at Scheveningen, the Neither
lands, after italian delegates refused
to hear Ethiopian testimony on terri
torial questions, which they insisted
should not be discussed.
In connection with the proposed spe-
cial Council session it was recalled
that Italy was the nation which spon-
sored energetically the African En-
pire's admission to the League.
While the Italian press characterized
Ethiopia as barbarous. nation, an
examination of League records showed
that Italian delegates in 1923 asserted
that League membership would help
Ethiopia to become more effectual
pioneer of civilization in Central
Africa"

The State Department has notified

The League of Nations will bring
Italy and Ethiopia to a peaceful set

was predicted last night by Norman
Davis, United States Ambassador at
Large. as he came from a meeting of
members of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee and State Depart
ment officials at which neutrality leg
islation was discussed.
1T appears to me- Davis said. "that

time just to support Italy in its pres
ent position. The League was not
called into session Just for pleasant
gathering"

the conference was held. said an
agreement had been reached for a

Ethiopian situation. I do not believe
there will be a war, but if there is, ii
need not involve the United States"
Pittman agreed with an earlier
statement by Chairman Nye of the

5yEAR WAR FUND
: SOUGHT IN JAPAN
S261, 100000 Defen sive
Program Proposed in Ad-
dition to Military Budget.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, July 26.-The. war office
proposed a broad five-year plan today
for mcdernization. Improvement and
expansion of Japanese land and air
ornaments.
The program. requiring eXpendl-
lures of 900, 100000 yen (about $751;
900 000), was drafted by the general
staff of the war Office for submission
to the cabinet and inclusion in the
budget. The money is in addition to
regular military appropriations.
War Office authorities, disclosing the
project, pointed out that 1t was "es-
sentiaI' to moderniZe equipment and
increase the air force. which they con-
tended was inferior to those of other
major powers.
= Industrial Limitations Considered.
Although they considered Japan ex-
trem..S vulnerable to an air attack
officials said the limitations on
Japan's Industrial capacity made 1t
feceS:ary that the program be con-
centrated on land equipment for the
first two years. Air force improve
ments would occupy the last three
years.
1t was the first time since the Man
chukuan campaign that the army
had disclosed its program for long
time expenditures.
Oficers had asserted previously that
the situation forced daily alteration
of plans The situation in the Far
East was believed to be sufficiently
stabilized now, however, to permit
formulation of the national defense
plan for presentation to the finance
ministry, the cabinet and public.
The army project conceded with
plans of the communications minis
try to request an appropriation of at
least 100000 yen (about $3,770,OOO
for development of civilian aviation.
The communications ministry pro-
gram provided for expansion of do
mestic air lines, establishment of air
service to Singapore, subsidies for
local air lines and creation OF an
aviation laboratory.
Army Program.
The army program fell into three
parts:
An appropriation of 10000 900 yen
was designed chiefly for improvement
and increase in military aviation. in
addition to the 200,0O0,O00 yen already
authorized.
An appropriation of 00,000,0 900 yen
was considered for Japan proper and
Korea, for improvement OF infantry,
anti tank and anti-air equipment, an
increase in automatic firearms,
modernization of field guns, improve
ments in heavy artillery and an in
crease in motor transports.
New chemical equipment and i'm
proved connections between troops In
the Japanese State of Man
chukuo also were projected.
The third appropriation of 100000
900 yen, was proposed for improve
ments in Manchukuo similar to those
in Japan proper. besides protection for
the North Manchukuan Railway. in
creased army mechanization and in
PRODUCTION of military consumption.
The five-year plan appropriations
would be added to the regular military
expenditures, for which total of 600,-
100000 yen has been requested an
nually hereafter as compared to the
present expenditures of 493 1000, 900
yen q year.
