OFFICIALS RECEIVE
LATIN AMERICANS
Representatives From II
Countries Are Here for
Aviation Week.

Distinguished aviation officials of IL
Latin American countries, the Nations
guests this week in a celebration of
United States progress in commercial
aviation. were received at the Com
merce Department this morning by
Secretary Roper and other high Gov
ernment officials.
The Latin Americans, arriving here
by plane Yesterday, will participate in
a series of conferences, studies and So
cial functions as one of the outstand-
ing features of the Capitals observ-
ance of Air Navigation week, set for
October 14-21 by presidential procla-
nation. The party includes aviation
officials from Argentina, Bolivia, Bra
zil, Chile, Cuba, Haiti, Peru, Uruguay.
Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic,
FL Salvatore and Mexico.
Secretary Roper told the visitors:
The cultivation of friendly rela-
tions can be effected far better by the
development of civil air commerce
than through high-powered salesman
ship" the Secretary declared.
The official reception party also in
cluded Secretary of Agriculture WAL
lace and Assistant Commerce Secre-
taries johnson and Draper.
Wallace said the studies Of weather
conditions has been a major feature
in the development Of air commerce
and better understanding between the
United States and the Latin Amer
lean countries has resulted

All that the authorities here see in
it, for the present, is that the banks,
already drowned in excess reserves,
are having more water poured over
them. 1t may not make much differ
ence to a drowned banker whether
the water is 10 feet deep or IS, but
the difference will be noticed when
resuscitation work starts.
Also when the gold goes back to
where it came from. the effect will be
directly opposite that of boom.
Brake on Speculation.
There is one happy overlooked cir
cumstance which has not yet been
advertised. The Government has
learned that the recent increase in
stock prices has already brought most
of the stocks into a higher margin
class. That is, so to so per cent Of
the stocks formerly purchaseable. on a
rs per cent margin now require Is
per cent because of their increased
value.
Margin regulations are such that
quirements enter higher zones AS
stocks fall margin requirements de-
crease.
The effect is to keep a brake on
speculation. If it were not for this
fact there would be far more worry
about the gold situation than there
has been.
The tDdy Cabineteers Hull, Roper
and Swanson haze been clashing
in their announcements indicates
that President Roosevelt Uould
haze done UelI to take them along
on the boat pith his t,Do other
Scrappers, MesTs. Hopkins and

Desk-side reports indicate State Sec
retary Hull's temperature leaped 10
degrees when he read in the news
papers an announcement from Com
merce Secretary Roper apparently in
viting American business men to trade
with Italy despite the President S
neutrality stand.
At least, Mr.. Hull burst forth with
a statement the following day saying
that peace was more important than
trade. He did not have to mention
Mr.. Ropers name to let Mr.. Roper
know that the Commerce Department
Interpretation was being reversed by

.b0RAH ANSWERED
BY COL. ROOSEVELT.
Senator Told "Trust-Bust-
ing Issue" Is Not Major
Campaign Issue.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 14.-Col.
Theodore Roosevelt disagrees with
Senator william E. Borah that the
1886 Republican presidential campaign
should be based on "trust-busting
issue"
There are others that will over
shadow it," wrote the prominent East
ern Republican to the Idaho Senator.
letter from Senator Borah suggesting
that the question of monopoly lies
at the base" Of campaign issue
making.
Significance Attached.
Some political quarters in Washing
ton were quick to read into the ex-
change Of correspondence desire Of
the Senator, not an avowed candidate
for the Republican presidential nomi-
nation, to learn the views of Eastern
party leaders.
It entirely agree that monopolies
are evil" Col. Roosevelt said. for I
am a firm believer in the established
American principle of competition. 80
Il believe that the Republican party
should take a clear and unequivocal
stand on this issue.
IT do not agree, however, that this
will be the major issue OF the cam
paign."
Col Roosevelt, discussing what he
called the "scandalous waste" Of pub
lie funds, charged "the administration
has attempted to fog by borrowing
the money instead of squarely facing
the issue and attempting to raise it
by taxation"
"This money all comes from the
people," his letter said. Paying it
back will be burden that will rest on
the shoulders of younger Americans
than you and I, for it must either
be paid back by taxation or by debt
reputation and imitation, which would
bring destruction and misery upon
all"
Uses n. r. A. Example.
"The attempts to subvert the Gov
ernment." Roosevelt said, were il
lustrated clearly when the N. r. A.
sought to usurp the legislative func-
tions as we'll as the judicial"
A further illustration, his letter de-
clared, was when the power to levy
taxes was taken from the Legislature
and turned over to the A. A. A. when
one Government agency after another
attempt to usurp the authorities Of
States and local units"
1T is automatic that concentration
Of power spells tyranny and that
tyranny inevitably spells ruin, misery
and penury for the rank and file Of a
nation" he observed.
Col. Roosevelt wrote that I'VE must
explain to the people in clear terms
that every article they use in their
daily life carries in its cost a multi
tude of indirect taxes for a large per
cent of the price of bread, meat and
clothes represents not merely neces-
sary Government functions, but the
extravaganza and follies of Govern
ment."
Senator Borah, who called Col
Roosevelt the son of the only man
who ever inaugurated a real fight
against monopoly in this country"
said in Boise. Idaho. that he had no
comment on the reply.

Navy Secretary Swanson probably
did not know it, but he was not sup
posed to say anything about prospects
for a Fall disarmament conference.
The British have been trying to pro-
mote it and Mr. Hull has been keeping
the matter confidential.
A sharp newsman trapped Mr..
Swanson by asking it the Many
Would send Admiral Standley as
delegate. Mr.. Swanson said sure.
The admiral. nearby. tried to step
IN 1Oith q denial, but Mr.. Swanson
insisted. Finally the admiral had
to say fatty that perhaps the Sec
retary had better amend his fiat
prediction of conference. The
alUayS agreeable Mr.. SWanSon
agreed.
The State Department fluttered
when the news got around. 1t de-
manded and received a transcript OF
Mr. Swanson's press conference. What
some of Mr.. Eull's officials said to
Mr.. Swanson's officials virtually
melted the telephone wires between
the two departments.
A pal Of Joseph Kennedy, retired
chairman of the S. E. c., says Mr..
Kennedy resigned because he did not
care to have charge of administering
the new holding companies law. There
may be something in that, but it is
also true that Kennedy long had
planned to leave this Fall.
Innermost circles now are limiting
that Kennedy will be back in Wash
ington in cabinet position within 10
months That allows time for a cabi-
net reorganization after Mr.. Roose-
velt's reelection, both of which all
New Dealers take for granted.
A Washington friend called Vice
President Garner on the telephone at
Uvalde the other day with what he
though was some more or less exciting
news. Mr.. Garner is reported to have
grunted a couple of times and OBJ

wrecked of the coast of Mexico dur

What's What

Huge Gold Influx Wor.

Fears Fate of Midas.
BY PAUL MALLON.


wv New Deal Is that the finan-
cial situation is getting so
good, it's bad They are not losing
any sleep over it yet, but are lingering
the gold importation figures daily with
something less than enthusiasm.
Their statistics indicate that more
than $300000,O00 of gold came in
within the last six weeks. Their in
side data lead them to believe that the
end of this flood stream Is nowhere in
sight
That is what was behind the recent
warning against inflationary stock
prices by President Gay of the Stock
Exchange; also the reply of Chairman
Lands that his S. E. c. could not do
much about it.
To an outsider the ne,D counter
Cult Stream may appear to be
fruitful trade ,Uind which ,Diu
transform Uncle Sam into the
Midas OF all creation 1t probably
1DiH, but you may recall 1ohat hap
pened to Midas.
The fact IS all this incoming gold
merely increases the unsatisfactory
condition of excess reserves in Amer
lean banks. That condition was bad
enough when our own natural excess
of stagnant bank money swelled to
about two-and-a-h half billions before
European importations started. Last
week it was s2,720, 900, 900, an increase
of $106, 900 during that week.
