Guffey coal bill, had been driven
through the house by orders from
above and threats of strike, and
when it was taken up by the senate
every effort to kill it, by eliminating
the tax feature, was defeated. Dur
ing the debate Senator Walter f.
George of Georgia, Democrat, created a
sensation by denouncing the bill in
these words:
Outside of political circles, it is
questionable whether there are five
reputable lawyers in the United States
who would declare this measure con-
stitutional. However, that is not the
worst feature of the bill. The worst
feature is the defect and infirmity in
the legislative program that we are
developing. This nation cannot re-
main free and happy, if we are to
legislate for groups, and beyond all
of that, if groups are to legislate for
themselves the end of things is not
very far distant.
THAT is the situation we have con-
fronting US. And to this kind of pro-
gram the Democratic party is willing
to commit itself!"
Senator George was assailing the
proposal to set up district boards in
the coal industry, which would make
their own laws as to trade practices
and regulate wages and hours, allo-
cate tonnages and fix prices, with re-
gard only for their own interests.
'This is the type of absolutism from
which we revolted to establish this Re-
public" he declared.
The house gave up the fight against
the death sentence in the utilities
bill and instructed conferees to ac-
cept a compromise" that was pretty
much one-sided. This means that all
holding companies beyond the second
degree are to be sentenced to death
by the SEC promptly after January
1, 1888. Even a holding company in
the second degree would not escape
unless its operations were confined to
a single integrated system within
state or within contiguous states.
Both senate and house adopted a
resolution making mandatory the en-
barge on munitions shipments to both
belligerents in case of war. This was
what the administration did not want,
claiming it would tie the hands of the
Executive so that he could exert no
influence toward averting war.
Senate and house accepted the con-
ferees' report on the bill increasing
the powers of TVT and legalizing that
body's past actions and it was sent to
the White House. The senate passed
without a record vote the railway
bankruptcy amendments recommended
by Coordination Joseph B. Eastman.

ties from blocking reorganization plans.

labor, and Vincent Morgan Miles of
Fort Smith, Ark, an attorney who has
been associated with the Public Works
administration. Each is to receive an
annual salary of $4,000.
In sending his nominations to the
senate the President stipulated that
Winant will serve six years, Altmeyer
will serve four years and Miles one
year. All appointments date from last
August 13 when the social security bill
reached the White House.
Mr.. Winant served in the past year
on the advisory council to the Pres
ident's committee on economic secur-
ity and assisted in the preparation of
the social security act. Last summer
he served, at the request of Mr.. Roose-
welt, as one of the mediators in the
textile strike.
AS chairman of the new national
labor relations board, operating under
the Wagner act, the President named
Joseph Madden, Pittsburgh attorney.
The other members appointed are John
NJ. Carmody of New York and Edwin
S. Smith of Massachusetts. j. D.
Ross was nominated as a member of
the securities and exchange commits
sion, job that it had been thought
would be given to Benjamin Cohen,
co-author of the utilities bill.

The Kingfsh defeated all efforts to
silence him and was adamant to pleas
that he was cutting off funds for hui
manitarian purposes. He was insisting
that the house be forced to vote on
the cotton and wheat loan amendments
to the bill which the senate had in
serted but which the lower chamber
had rejected. A compromise had been
reached between the administration
and the bloc of cotton state senators
by which the cotton raisers were to
get government loans of 10 cents a
pound, and the wheat farmers were
left out. Long would not stand for
the elimination of the amendments
thus arranged.
The Democratic leaders were afraid
that If submitted to the house gov
eminent loans not only on wheat and
cotton but on other commodities would
be voted at a cost of upward of ST.
OO0,OOO,OO0.
They determined to let the appro-
priation bill fail rather than submit
to Longs terms, although Robinson
stated that information from the con-
troller generals Office indicated there
would be no available funds for the
social security program unless the de-
ficiency measure were passed.

The language of the note was not
quite so blunt as the above, but it did
not mince words and its implications
were not 10 be doubted. 1t said the
United States anticipates the most

ment of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics is unwilling, or unable, to

1t was thought in Washington that
Russa's reply might be delayed until
the return of Foreign Commissar
Maxim Litvinov, who was in Geneva
helping deal with the Ethiopian
crisis. 1t was Litvinov who personally
gave to President Roosevelt the pledges
that Russia would prevent Communists

Mussolini Says Italy
Will Fight Sanctions

GREAT BRITAIN, having ordered
~ a concentration of naval strength
in the Mediterranean for the purpose
of protecting the Suez canal in case
war breaks out between Italy and
Ethiopia, followed this up by sending
1000 troops to reinforce the garrison
on the island of Malta. Immediately
thereafter Premier Mussolini, in an
interview in the London Daily Mail,
made this portentous declaration:
st should be realized without the
possibility of misunderstanding that
whoever applies sanctions penalties
for treaty violations) against Italy
will be met by the armed hostility Of
our country"
The duce added that If the League of
Nations voted sanctions against Italy,
his country would at once leave the
league.
Asked for his advice to other Euro
pean nations for the best method OF
sustaining general peace, the news
papers interviewer said Mussolini re-
piled that other nations should fol-
low the example of the United States
and leave US alone to fulfill our mis-
sion."
In reply to direct question whether
there is the slightest possibility of his
changing his attitude, Mussolini re-
piled in the negative, saying none at
all-unless Ethiopia gives in"
Opening up of the vast Ethiopian
interior, he said would benefit 'all
civilized states" Colonization of
Ethiopia by Italy would completely
fulfill all colonial aspirations of Italy,"
Halle Selassie expects that his cap
ital city, Adds Ababa, will be bombed
by Italian airplanes when hostilities
begin. Therefore he has given the
population explicit directions for COM
plete evacuation of the city as soon as
there is indications of coming air
raid. The people will be warned by
cannon shots and sirens and will flee
to the open fields and scatter. The
Ethiopian troops were feverishly dig
ging trenches along the Italian
frontiers, under the instruction of for
eign military advisers.

serted Its aim was not socialism, but
regulated individualism.
Championing a philosophy of change,
the President said that "rules are not
necessarily sacred-principles are.
The methods of the old order are not,
as some would have you believe, above
the challenge of youth.

Under the auspices of the Repub-
lican national committee, Representa-
tive Bertrand III. Smell of New York
spoke over the radio in direct reply
to the Presidents appeal to youth
for both parties are making strenuous
endeavors to capture the allegiance Of
the young men and women. Mr.. Smell
argued that change in the Constitu-
ton abolishing rights of individual cit
liens would place "those who possess
the power, the wealth and the cum
ming" in control Of the government.
Surely the youth of America" he
said, "are not prepared to endorse any
administration which is seeking to
bring about such a condition"

High Prices of Food
Will Be Investigated

BEFORE adjourning the house
- passed a resolution, previously
adopted by the senate, appropriating
$4,000 to enable the federal trade
commission to make a general investi-
CATION into the rising prices of food.
The commission is to analyze and allo-
cate the costs of producing and distrib-
uting foods to the American consumer.
Representatives from agricultural dis
tricts supported the measure, contend
ing that the farmer is not receiving his
proper share of the food dollar.
"One statistician has estimated" a
committee report stated, shat in 1882
it cost the final consumer of five ma
jor American farm products 10 billion
q million dollars. That is the sum
the consumer paid to the retail mer-
chant.
Of this total sum 1t is estimated
that the farmer received only z bill
lion $50 million and that it cost some
where in the neighborhood of IL bill
lion 500 million to get the farmers
products to the consumer.

The President has set November
as the date for putting his works pro-
gram into high gear and taking all the
unemployed off the relief rolls. The
new orders, issued to the heads of all
departments and emergency agencies,
were regarded as moves to realize that
goal.

and after his final report he was in
structed to lodge the protest.
Recognition of the Soviet govern
ment was, and still is, severely criti-
cized by various elements in the
United States, notably organized labor ;
and the friendly relations established
by the Roosevelt administration never

creased business with Russia because
the Soviet government demanded ex-

will not be too sorry if there is rup-
ture of relations.
