various communistic schemes and plans which have
been proven failures but are still persisted in.
The President only becomes really excited over
policies of economy when the word veteran IS
mentioned.
So business need not become unduly confident
over the Presidents conservatism; yet business
can at least hope that conservative and economic
policies NAV be extended to other measures and IN
other directions.
The Presidents argument regarding the In
ACCESSIBILITY of paying the bonus now while satisfy
ing to the bankers and the money changers gener-
ally is not entirely satisfying either materially or
spiritually to the citizens who believe that the vet
Grams are entitled to special consideration
They should stand and do stand, in class by
themselves.
They were projected by their Government into a
foreign war in which this nation was in no way
directly concerned.
They, nevertheless, did their full duty to the
cause their country espoused:
THEY sacrificed their youth, and the oppor-
il tunities which youth held for them, for the
ideals their President defined as our detectives in
the war; ideals which were never realized, and
obviously never would have been realized in such
European conflict.
But our devoted soldiers did not question the
wisdom of the country's policies.
They did not debate or dispute or complain.
They gave everything they had.
They gave up everything they hoped for
They made the sacrifice gladly and gloriously
for their country
The politicians, and all the elements who stayed
at home, applauded Historically our young men on
their way to war.
Their jobs were to be held for them.
They were never to be forgotten.
No reward was to be too great for them on their
return
Eventually the war was won; and our soldiers
won it by their heroism and their blind devotion.
Our nation got nothing out of the war the poll
ticians had propelled us into not even the smallest
realization of our declared detectives.
Our people got nothing except the great glory
which our heroic soldier boys had won for our
cause and our country.
That glory reflected upon all of US, and will
always be bright page in the history of our
people
OUR boys returned from the war, some of them
" halt, some of them blind, some of them other
wise disabled, and all of them largely deprived of
their opportunities in life.
Their jobs for the most part were not kept for
them but were filled by stay-at-homes.
Rewards were not given them; not even the
praise and remembrance we had pledged were long
bestowed upon them.
In fact, for the most part, our people were anx-
ious to forget the whole situation, and particularly

TO SET
UP NEW LABOR
POLICY BOARD

International News Service
Organization Of a labor policy
board within the new $4,000, 0O0,-
600 work relief setup was under
taken today by Works Progress Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins, fol-
lowing wide criticism Of the $1S-
$o4 monthly wage scales an
nounced by President Roosevelt.
Labor win be represented on the
board.
Mr.. Hopkins pointed out that
the scales do not apply to PWA
projects: slum-clearance, low-rent
housing; roads construction and
Rrade-croSSing elimination: the
CCC, and "other exemptions
which may be granted" by his
division. He also noted the 10
per cent latitude of adjustment
authorized by the President. ss~t
Exemptions Cover Half
The. exemptions, he said, apply
to approximately S2,oO9; 600 900
worth of workssto be undertaken
under th o6O, goo, 900 program,
but moi to half of the total
number Of workers who will be
employed. He said:
'PWA exemptions were made
because some 80 States have
laws requiring the prevailing
scale of wages. Highways
were exempt because the money
really goes to the States, and
thus becomes subject to State
prevailing wage laws. But we
found that the average
monthly wages paid on high
way work in the last three
years, taking the country IS .
whole, were approximately those
sSSblished in this program.
Nn TWA and roads, the going
raIe Of wages will be paid"
INEQUALITIES ADMITTED
Admitting that in some in
stances the program will pay
individuals less than they are now
receiving as direct relief, Mr.. Hop
kinS said:
But where you can show me
one such instance, I can show
you 500 where the person on
work relief will receive higher
income than from direct relief.
In South Carolina, for instance,
the average direct relief has
been 50 per family"
North Cardinals minimum wage
rate for common labor under the
new set-up is SO month.
The labor policy board, Mr..
Hopkins said, will deal with all
questions arising concerning wage
scales and wage adjustments.
Direct Relief Deplored
Completing his second year as
head Of the FERA, Mr.. Hopkins
said:
II feel more strongly than
ever that we should not give
direct relief in America.
my views have not changed
on the responsibility Of the
Government to provide for the
people in times of distress, but
1 think it should be done
through pensions, social secur-
ity legislation, and other means
than direct relief.

There is no reason to doubt,
the survey shows, that some

And Delaware will have gain
ed much if it can stimulate
Maryland and Virginia to join
in the construction of a high
way which will bring hun

"The interests of the two
states are identical in this
matter. Their efforts should
be joined. And now is the

A conference should be ar
ranged at once between Della

groups so that plans can be
laid for pressing this most i'm

Rural Factories

Among the coming develop

rural chambers of commerce,
each pulling for new factor
les for their individual COM
munities. The Bureau of Ag-
Economies has
made a survey and reports
that many small factories are
doing well in small towns and
rural communities and are
contributing much to the in
come of the localities in which
they are situated.
Some of these manufacture
ing enterprises even thrive in
the open country adjacent to
incorporated places. The sites
for such enterprises have
been chosen with a view to the

buildings. The acreage reduction
required for the 1885 seeding on all
farms under contract is 5 per cent
of the base acreage for the years
1880, 1881 and 1882, and benefit
payments will be made at the rate
of approximately 33 cents a bush
ell, less the cost of administration,
on 81 percent of the average pro
duction for these base years.
Checks from the Treasurer of the
United States representing the first
benefit payments for 1885 and the

that a great many more will sign

upon which these new wheat con-

quires that those farmers desiring

a record of the wheat acreage and

Time To Act


of a dual highway system all
down the Del-Mar-Va PENN
sula. Just now it is asking
for a dual road from Dover to
Selbyville. 1t says:
"The time has come for the
municipalities, civic organiza-
tions and citizens along route
No. 113 in Delaware and
Maryland to get together in a
united and vigorous effort to
induce the Delaware Highway
Department to begin con-
struction of the DUPONT Dual
Highway between Selbyville
and Dover. And these same
groups, should, at the same
time, bring all possible pres
sure to bear on the Maryland
and Virginia roads depart
ments to establish a policy Of
extending this dual highway
between the Delaware bound
airy and Cape Charles.
"Obvious efforts are being
made by all civic groups and
citizens on route No.13 to per-
suade the Delaware Depart
ment to construct a highway
parallel to that route.
''That is all right. We are
not opposed to route No. Is
having a dual highway. We
join with them in seeking it.
But we should also have a
dual DUPONT highway, and we
should have it now.
"The farsightedness of the
late Mr.. Coleman DUPONT was
never so strikingly demon
strated as when he laid the
foundation for a great high
way system in Delaware. His
wisdom was demonstrated
just as strikingly when he
started out to acquire a right
of way for a dual highway
through his State. Unfortun-
ately Senator DUPONT could
not impart his own wisdom to
the entire population. As a
result his plan to buy a 200
foot right of way for the en-
tire length of the State was
nullified by unreasoning oppo-
sition.
"But he did buy a dual high
way right Of way between the
Maryland line and Milford,
and there it is today available
for the Highway Depart
ment's use. Acquisition of a
similar right of way elsewhere
would mean the expenditure
of a vast sum of money. Here
it is ready for development.
"As a link in the great
Maine-to-Florida coastal high.
way, route No. 113 is the only
coastal highway road.
Delaware, with its thriv
ing commercial centers, it,
beautiful and promising ocear
resorts, its fertile agricultur
al sections, long ago, we ar,
convinced, has been the neces
sity- of taking advantage of it,

recovery. Although some of them
have backed reforms at this session
of Congress which may be regarded BY
others as detrimental to recovery, they
have postponed indefinitely some of
their other pet projects and generally
appear to have acquiesced in the STRAIT
egy which would bring ma jor legisla-
ton to an end at this session and
permit concentration on the adminis-
tration of existing laws from then
until after the 1896 election.
The readiness Of some of the liberal
supporters of the President to contem-
plate q period of comparative quiet
may result in part from their suspicion
that the Supreme Court will provoke
another period of active reform by
ruling out some of the important New
Deal laws.
Prior to the Schechter decision on
the N. r. A, the Supreme Court did
not loom up as a great factor of un-
certainty-and it was many months
prior to that decision that the admin
istration adopted the plan of trying
to push through all jor legislation
at the present session of Congress.
Farmers Big Factor.
Very little. II any, hope fingers in
New Deal circles that Mr.. Roosevelt
will be able to command substantial
support from business and finance in
the 1895 campaign. Only few of his
advisers thought at any time that he
could convert the right" to the New
Deal. His efforts to strike truce"
with the bankers and with such busi-
ness groups as the United States
Chamber of Commerce were attribut-
able, not to the hope Of winning po-
litical support, but to his desire to
expedite the general movement to-
ward recovery. In the speeches project
ed for late Summer and early Fall,
Mr.. Roosevelt will again have to de-
eide how far he can 60 toward re-
assuring business without arousing
mistrust among his popular following.
His choice may be eased somewhat
by reports from the principal farm
ing areas of lessened political tension
and of a high degree of preoccupa-
ton with spending improved incomes.
At the same time, liberals In the
administration and in Congress point
out that the agrarian sections are es-
sentially "anti-Wan Street" and that
this spirit may be kept alive by three
congressional Investigations: OF the
public utility lobby, of railroad flnanc-
ing, and of munitions. They look upon
these investigations as potential means
of keeping the large financial inter-
ests on the defensive and of preserv-
ing a political alignment favorable to
the liberal cause.
