Frank German, of the Evening

Recent Attacks on New Deal

International News Service

The conviction is growing In
Republican quarters that Herbert

have-considerable voice in the
nomination of a Presidential can.
didate in 1885 and in the platform
upon which he runs.
The increasing frequency with
which the former President is
speaking out on current national
affairs, his periodical trips about
the country comforting with
friends, and the voluminous cor.
respondence he carries on with his
former lieutenants, all contribute
to this belief.
Some of the leading Repub-
licanS in Congress, who have other
plans-planS in which Mr.. Hoover
doesn't figure care privately
crashing their teeth about his
activity, but they are not in a
position to do much about it.
Most Outspoken
In the past six months. Mr..
Hoover has managed to take a
public position that is four,square
against the New Deal First, he
undertook a broad criticism of
RECOMMENDATION" and the loss of
individual liberty in the New Deal.
Then he became more specific, at.
lacking first the monetary policy
of the Administration, then the
AAA, and now the NRA. The
Roosevelt monetary policies, the
AAA, and the NRA constitute the
very heart of the New Deal, and
Mr.. Hoover is now publicly on
record in violent opposition to
them all.
Intimates of the former Presi.
dent profess not to know if he
is personally ambitious for an.
other try at the White House.
Most of his friends here believe
he would consent to be drafted"
A few believe he is an active, al.
though unannounced, candidate.
Others say privately they believe
he is more interested in the plat
form than in candidates..
May Be Mills
If Mr.. Hoover has a candidate,
other than himself. the belief in
responsible Republican quarters
here is that it is Ogden L. Mills,
his Secretary of the Treasury.
More than any member of his
Cabinet, Mr.. Mills commands the
confidence and regard of Mr.
Hoover. OF all the old Hoover
crowd" Mr.. Mills has been the
most frequent and the most out.
spoken critic of the New Deal.
There is scarcely a Roosevelt
policy, from the AAA to the NRA,
that has escaped his biting critl'
ciSm.

Women who faced death in

Representative Caroline ODay for

famous smile. We want him to
do the right thing and we want
to tell him what the right thing
is. We want him to sign the

The women feel that they
should be helped by the Govern.

she said, adding:
"The veterans of this coun-
try are its privileged class.
They should have priority over
every other class. They came

New Bonus March
Reported by Van Zandt
International News Service

A grim ghost of the 1882 bonus
march lifted its head today.
Just as bonus supporters moved
anew to block President Roose'
velt's plan to kill bonus legisla
ton with a veto, veterans reported
formation of a new pilgrimage to
the Capital to demand payment
with a new issue of currency.
The report came from Com
mander-in-Chief James E. Van
Zandt, of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. He made public message
to him from Louis r. Mathews
308 Southwest Twelfth Ave, Port
land, Ore, which said:
"The formation of the gerat-
est move on Washington Of his
tory has already begun here
hell nor heavens can stop them.
I'll see you soon"
Commander Van Zandt an.
nounced that he replied to Math-
ews with a sharp admonition
against such a move. Then, he
added:
II sincerely hope that my
telegram ito MathiewS) may
halt this march If 1t has start

However, the very suggestion
is an indication of the feeling
among the veterans throughout
the country over the payment Of

POL|T|CSDEN|ED
| IN VETO Of.
BONUS BILL
President Is Hoping Congress
Will Support His Action,
White House Says
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt Will veto
the bonus bill, as has been ex
pected, and he also hopes that
Congress will sustain his action
It was explained at the White
House today that the President
will not veto the bill for political
reasons, but because he feels that
the bonus should not be paid at
present. His reasons in detail
have been explained by him in
at least two public statements
within the last IL months.
Stories published and spread
abroad in the last "a hours have
minated trongly that Vice
President Garner and other Dem
ocratic leaders intend to vote to
override the veto and that the
President is willing that this
should be done; or, at least, that
he is indifferent to such action
White House View
Stephen Early, the Presidents
assistant secretary, said today:
"All we know here about Vice
President Garner and other
leaders intending to vote to
override the veto Is what we
read in the newspapers. The
President will veto the bill and
he will not do so for political
reasons. He will send a mes
sage to Congress expressing as
fOrcibly as possible his reasons
TO rthe veto and he hopes the
Congress will sustain him."
The White House attitude to
day, expressed by Mr.. Early, ap
pears to put at rest the story
that there is a political combina'
ton by which the President will
veto the bill and Congress will
vote him down and pass the bill,
and that there is an understand
ing to that effect between the
Capitol and the White House
Rumors Nailed
There has been a feeling that
it would be good politics to give
some of the members OF The
Senate a chance to vote for the
bonus and then to change and
support the veto.
This feeling gave way in the
past "a hours to a general feeling
that the President could make
himself solid with the conservative
element among voters by bonus
veto, while the party at large
would gain the support of the
veterans by overriding a veto.
Whatever there was to these
stories appears to be knocked in
the head by the White House an
nouncement today. The President
evidently intends to smoke out
some Of the members of the
Senate who have been either on
the fence or led into the bonus
camp with the political argument
which the White House disputed
today.

duction or to stifle competition.
ANY one of those evils pro-
duces the other two, and 1t is
no remedy to take part Of them
out. These have been the very
aim Of certain business elements
ever since Queen Elizabeth. Most
of the TOO NRA codes effect those
very purposes.
Antitrust Laws Good
Exactly such schemes to avoid
competition in business were re-
jected by my Administration be-
cause they are born from a desire
to escape the antitrust laws. II
the antitrust laws had not been
effective in a major way, there
would have been no such desire
to escape them. If they do not
meet modern conditions they
should be openly amended, not
circumvented.
MY investigations over the
country show that the codes have
increased costs of production and
distribution, and therefore prices.
Thus thev have driven toward de-
creased consumption and in
eHSed unemployment. They
have increased the cost Of living
and placed heavier burden on
the American farmer.
"NRA has been crushing the
life out Of small business, and
they are crushing the life out of
the very heart of the local com.
munity body. There are 1900, 900
small businesses in this country,
and our purpose should be to pro.
tect them.
Publishers have had to resist
arduously the encroachment of
these NRA codes upon such funda-
mental, constitutionally guaran-
teed American liberties as free
speech.
Economy of Scarcity
1.-THE whole concept of MIRA is
rooted in a regimented economy
of Scarcity'-an idee that in
creased -ostS, restricted produc-
ton and hampered enterprise will
enrich a nation. The notion may
enrich q few individuals and help
few businesses, but it wi i'm.
poverish the Nation and under
mine the principles Of real social
justice upon which this Nation
was founded.
If the MIRA has increased en-
ployment, it is not apparent. II
we subtract the persons temper
arily employed by the coded indus
tries as the direct result of the
enormous Government expendi-
lures, we find that the number
being employed are not materially
greater than when it was enacted.
"NRA's pretended promises to
labor were Intentionally vague and
have never been clarified. They
have only promoted conflict with
out establishing real rights.
That original ballyhoo used to
hypnotic and coerce the people
into acquiescence is now gone.
Most of the originally grandiose
schemes now are conceded to be a
violation of the spirit and the let
ter of the American Constitution.
Some business interests already
have established advantages out Of
the codes, and therefore seek the
perpetuation of NRA. Even these
interests should recognize that in
the end they, themselves, will be
come either the pawns Of a
bureaucracy the Am erican people
do not want"

motion to extend the NRA by
Mr.. Hoover's statement, copy
righted by the press association,
was made in answer to a direct
question from the editors. The
statement said:
Statement to the Associated
Press. May Is, 1885:
1.-The one right answer by the
House of Representatives to the
Senate's action extending the life
Of the NRA is to abolish it en-
tirely.
Present Proposals Bad
Present NRA proposals are as
bad, in many ways. as the original
with its continuation until the next
Congress; and. with the Federal
agents putting pressure on State
legislature to get them to enact
State laws in support of NRA, it is
evident there has been no real re.
treat.
This whole idea of ruling bust.
ness through code authorities with
delegated powers of law is I'm.
American in principle and a
proved failure in practice. The
codes are retarding recovery. They
are cloak for conspiracy against
the public interest. They are and
will continue to be a weapon of
bureaucracy, devise for in.
timidation Of decent citizens.
ITO the customary answer Of
destructive criticism or the other
question. What substitute is Of
fered? I suggest that the only SUBJ
stitute for an action that rests on
definite and proved economic err
ror is to abandon it. We do not
construct new buildings on false
foundations, and we can not build
a nations economy on a funda-
mental error.
THE beneficent detectives of a
greater social justice and the pre-
vention of sweating child labor
and abuse in business practices
should be and can be better at.
tanned by specific statutory law.
There are already sufficient
agencies Of Government for full
enforcement Of the laws of the
land. Where necessary those laws
should be strengthened. but not
replaced with personal govern
ment.
THE prevention Of waste in
mineral resources should be car.
ried out by the States operating
under F'ederally encouraged inter-
state compactS. That is an Amer
lean method of eradicating eco
nomic abuses and wastes, as dis
tinguished from Fascist regimenta-
ton.
THE multitude Of code admin
istrators. agents or committees
has spread into every hamlet,
and. whether authorized or not,
they have engaged in the coer-
cion and intimidation Of presum-
ably free citizens.
Some Sent to Jail
people have been sent to Jail,
but Tar more have been threat
ened with Jail. Direct and indi-
rect boycotts have been organized
by the bureaucracy itself. Many
are being used today Claiming
to curse immoral business prac-
tees. the codes have increased
them a thousand fold through
'chiseling.'
They have not protected legiti-
mate business from unfair COM
petition, but they have deprived
the public of the benefits of fair
competition.
This whole NRA scheme has
saddled the American people with
the worst era of monopolies we
have ever experienced. However
monopoly is defined, its objective
is to fix prices or to limit pro-
