Prise. It began in June, this year
What hal the New Deal" policies
t. do with the period Of rapid recov-
cry from April 10 August, 1888? ABB
soluteiy nolhingl The American ec-
Onomic system, which the New
Dealers" have continually portrayed
as being outworn, impotent, and ln-
equitable, functioned magnificently
during that period. Prices Of farm
products and the purchasing power
Of the farmers dollar went up. ln-
dustrial employment, production,
end wages increased. Building con~
struction increased. Freight-car
loadings increased In the business
world, retail sales increased. Be-
cause Of she general stimulus Of ac-
tivity IN all private enterprise, im-
ports and exports increased. Many
Of those activities reached a point,
in the latter part Of July or the
month Of August, 1933 which was
not attained again for two years.
None Of the New Deal" policies be-
came effective until the latter part
of July or the first Of August. So
that period Of Improvement was un-
Ger the old "hofse and buggy" eco
nomic system.
Beginning about the first of Sep
tember, 1888, and continuing until
the middle of June, 1885, there was
a decided reaction all along the line.
During that entire period every
branch Of the "New Deal" was in
full bloom. During that period the
NRA reached its maximum Of regi-
mentation. The AAA was expanding
and sternly putting into practice its
theory of destruction as means OF
attaining a condition of plenty. Dur
ing that period the government en-
tered into every conceivable field OF
private enterprise. It abandoned all
pretense of attempting to reduce
public expenditures, or even keep [
them within reasonable bounds. Our
sound currency was abandoned, and
we began experimenting with the /
or managed" dollar.
During that period legitimate bus-
mess and industry we're made the
objects of continual legislative and
harassment. Individ-
Ual initiative was practically forbid
den. Public and private thrift were
as old-fashioned-having
no place in the philosophy Of this
Administration. Ballyhoo was sub
stituted for craftsmanship, and

When that is done, it will be
found there have been three sharp
ly defined economic periods since
March 1, 1888. The first was one of
speedy business and Industrial re-
covery. II extended from April, 1888,
to August of the same year. The sec
Ond was a period of relapse in many
fields of private enterprise, and stag
nation in others. That period ex-
tended from September, 1888, to
June. 1885 The third, and current

An eastern land owner had a ten
ant who planted five acres of tobac-
co for several years, but when the
tenant left the farm the owner de-
cided to substitute some other crop.
Before he got around to plant any
thing else an AAA representative
came along and offered to pay him
for not planting tobacco but giving
him the privilege of putting the land
into any other crop he chose. The
land owner gladly signed the con-
tract and is now drawing down 5000

If you would know what Ameri-
cans are really thinking about, get
of the highways and amble leisure
ly along the byways. Seek out the
towns and villages; forget the cities
and their suburbs. If your time is
limited, buy a copy Of the paper pub

which you travel. Carry them home
with you and read them. It is a
simple way to remove the veneer of
sophistication with which the city
has coated you, and to bring you
back to earth again.
There is no better sounding board
of public opinion than the editorial
page of the country weekly. All too
often the perspective of the editor OF

of his huge city. He can't see the
woods or the trees. On the other
hand, the country editor follows a

Cognizant of the danger to chill

heads making this request.

.LABOULAYE VISITS
HULL ON WAR FEAR
French Ambassador, Back
From Europe, Confers
on Situation.
BY ths Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A general discussion of the European
situation with special reference to
French and American interests was
held today by Andre de Laboulaye, the
French Ambassador; Secretary Hull
and other State Department officials.
The Ambassador returned late yes
terday from five weeks spent in Paris
and paid his first official calls, lasting
nearly two hours. on Secretary Hull,
Undersecretary Phillips and Assistant
Secretary Sayre.
After conference with Hull and
Phillips, the Ambassador told news
men he had not discussed any major
moves to be made by either major
nation and that their conversations
had been confined to generalities and
to a resume of the situation.
No Instructions on Inquiry.
Answering questions based on re-
ports that Great Britain and France
planned to seek American co-opera-
ton in the application of sanctions
against Italy. the Ambassador declared
he had no instructions from his gov-
ernment on that question and had not
discussed it with Secretary Hull or
Phillips.
The European situation, the Ambas-
sador told news men, was less tense
when he left Paris then when he ar
rived five weeks ago. The French are
confident, he declared, that Premier
Laval and other European statesmen
would be able to chart course which
will maintain peace in Europe.
Before comforting with Hull and
Phillips, the Ambassador had a long
conference with Assistant Secretary
Sayre, in charge of American nego-
ttations for reciprocal trade agree
ments with other nations.
Trade Pact Discussed.
The Ambassador said they had ex-
changed views concerning the early
start of actual negotiations for a
Franco American trade pact, and
expressed the view that no nsur-
mountable obstacles we're in the way
of conclusion of a mutually satisfac-
tory agreement.
There is need for early action on
the proposed trade agreement since
some of the powers granted the
French government end next month,
the Ambassador added.
The Ambassador also said he had
no recent information on the posi-
bilities of a naval conference to be
held before the end of the year and
had not discussed that question with
American officials.
Word that the United States will
delay taking a stand toward League
of Nations sanctions against Italy
until major European powers have
decided on definite course of
action was passed in official quar-
ters today after Secretary of Com
nerce Roper had said the Ma
tional Munitions Board, of which
he is member. was not yet prepared
to make any recommendations to the
President as to whether the American
arms embargo should be extended to
include raw materials.
At press conference yesterday,
Roper was asked if a League of Ma
tions ban of such materials might not
be ineffective if the United States did
not participate and he agreed that
that would "be inferable, at least"

a cautious advance on their next OBJ
jective Of Makale.
Oficers said the impending push
out of Aduwa on the strategic cara
van route so miles to the south, deep
in Ethiopian territory. would be car
ried out gradually.
They took precautions to permit
constant maintenance of communica-
tions and steady supply of food and
other necessities for the troops in their
march.
High military authorities expressed
belief. however, that the territory
from Aduwa to Makale would prove
easier to cover than the rugged, noun
famous route to Aduwa in the origi-
nal advance at the outset Of the cam
paign.
Italian engineers overcame great
difficulties in constructing the road
from Eritrea to Aduwa, which had
to be completed for consolidation of
that position before the columns could
move on in their occupation.

Conservative craftsmen last night

The vote was 18025 to 10.924. The

policy, adopted last year, indorsing in

tries, but with protection for the rights
OF craft unionists.

said
After his fight was lost Lewis COM
nented: The issue seems to be clari-

In his hour-long appeal, which held
the delegates tensely silent, Lewis
said his group would accept defeat
sadly, knowing that our terrible ad-
versary industrial opponents {: or
ganized labor, having tasted blood,
may open up and attempt to destroy
the union I represent"
Lewis argument, that changing
economic conditions had outmoded
present methods of organization, was
responded to by. A. o. Wharton of
the machinists and other craftsmen
with recitation of craft union survival
over long periods. Wharton asked
the industrial unionists to point to
such success in their efforts.
