Work on the road connecting the
bridge with the stone road at Trappe
is also progressing, and before long it
is expected the concrete mixer will be
started. One resident near the bridge
said he believes concrete will be start
ed on the road about the first of July
providing the weather is favorable be-
tween now and then.
All the concrete is poured between
the draw and the Dorchester side and
most of the distance on this side the
draw has been poured.
The road from Trappe to the bridge
terminal is not so good, yet in spite
of this great many people take the
ride to view the progress made. When
completed the bridge will shorten the
distance between Easton and Cam
bridg about half.

u. s. GUFFEY BILL
STAND REITERATED
Again Contends Coal Indus
Try Interstate Business
in Carter Suit.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Government repeated its con-
tention that the soft coal industry is
an interstate business in filing its
second answer in as many days yes
terday to suits questioning the con-
stitutionaity of the Guffey bill.
Yesterdays answer asserted the in
dustry's competitive practices and
labor disputes had imposed direct and
substantial burdens upon and inter-
ruptions to interstate commerce" in
the fuel.
1t was in reply to suit brought in
District Supreme Court by the Carter
Coal Co. seeking an injunction re-
straining enforcement Of the act. Its
contentious paralleled those made in
an answer filed Tuesday in a Louis
vile Federal Court to a similar suit
by is other companies.
Regulation Declared Necessary.
To remove or control" burdens on
commerce, they insisted that lit is
necessary, that competition be
regulated by the elimination of I'M
fair competitive marketing practices,
by the fixing between fair and rea-
sonable limits of the price at which
such coal may be distributed . and
by stabilizing and equalizing the
wages and labor Of employees and by
otherwise eliminating the causes of
strikes and lockouts."
The suit was brought by James Wal
ter Carter, president of the company,
to restrain the company from COM
plying with the act and the Govern
ment from enforcing it.
AS separate defense, the Govern
ment argued that the action is pre-
mature" in that the tax provision of
the bill Is not yet effective and that
the plaintiff has failed to show accept
ance Of the code by the company will
cause any injury.
Jurisdiction Declared Lacking.
The company also has q remedy
at law, the Government commended. As
to Carriers plea for a "declaratory
judgment" holding the law unconsti-
tutional, the Government asserted
that under an amendment to the
declaratory judgments law approved
by Congress last August 80. Federal
courts have no jurisdiction to render
such judgments with respect to Fed
eral taxes.
Carriers plea for a temporary in
junction was rejected in the District
courts recently on the ground the case
might be heard on its merits before
the provisions of law actually became
effective.

Roosevelt Speech
Quotation Puzzles
Literary Students
Unable to Find Whom He
Referred to as 'Createst
Writer in History

By the Associated Press.
Students of literature rushed to
their books yesterday to find out who
President Roosevelt had in mind when
he quoted "the greatest writer in our
history"
In his San Diego speech he quoted
this writer as listing the two most
menacing clouds over government and
society as malice domestic and fierce
foreign war" He gave no further clue
to the author of the quots.ion.
Library of Congress experts agreed
offhand that it sounded Shakespearean,
but checked other well-known authors,
too. The nearest they could come to
that phrase was in Shakespeare's
Macbeth"
King Duncan Of Scotland has Just
been assassinated and Macbeth in act
three, scene two, in a speech to Lady
Macbeth, says:
Treason has done his worst; nor
steel, nor poison; malice domestic,
foreign levy, nothing, can touch him
further"

seas shook stock prices to lower levels
yesterday and sent wheat values kit
ing in the Chicago pit, Secretary
Wallace yesterday turned his mind
back to 1914 and then issued warm
ing to farmers to beware of pitfalls
such as trapped some of them at that
time.
Noting that Chicago wheat prices
had jumped 5 cents (the limit allowed
on a single day., Wallace expressed
belief that farmers should think twice
before going heavily into debt and
buying new lands on the strength of
speculative prices. They should con-
slider. he said, the slumps which follow
speculative soarings.
They might consider the inevitable
distortion of judgment which takes
place in time of excitement" he said.
1T is easy to accept thankfully what
comes, but it also would be well to
consider the eventual repercussions."
Near-Record Shipments Made.
His remarks came at the close of a
day which, besides the reactions on
stock and grain exchanges, brought
Government reports showing near
record shipments of American cotton
linters potential materials for explo-
sives), scrap iron and steel, trucks
and tractors to Italy.

Earlier, in his press conference, Hull
had urged statesmen and business men
Of the world to help correct disturbed
world conditions, which he said were
seriously impeding all efforts toward
economic recovery.
Funds Held Diverted.
ARMED camps do not make ideal

Hull added that the armed truce"
in Europe had diverted funds vitality
needed for world trade to the pur-
chase of guns and ammunition and
had tendency further to upset eco

duced the burden of private debt.
We rehabilitated the banking sys-
TEN and finally we financed the
OUTLAWS necessary for the encour-
agement of recovery, not through
an increase in the burden of tax
alton upon the average citizen, but
by adding to the public debt,
frankly and honestly.
AS a result Of all these efforts
bank deposits in active commercial
banks have increased by ten billion
dollars, or more than 80 per cent.
At this moment the deposits in the
banks of the Nation amount to
more than fifty billion dollars,
which. submit, compare favorably
with the flfty-five billion dollars
in June, 1929. Unlike that year,
however, the new system of deposit
insurance covers SO per cent Of the
fifty million individual depositors
in these insured banks and gives
them full protection under the
provisions of law.
Credit Policy of Federal
Reserve Cuts Interest.
So, too, the credit policy Of the
Federal Reserve System in the past
two years has sought and &C
complished a reduction of interest
rates for the purpose of stimulating
business recovery. AS a result
sound business institutions can Sc
cure money on bonds at a rate Of
3% per cent instead of 434 per
cent. Government bonds, on which
the taxpayers formerly paid ga
per cent or more, are now sold
with an interest rate of 2la per
cent. Through important amend
ments to our banking laws We
have given practical recognition to
the fact that monetary policies are
a national public concern and not
a regional or private concern. The
Federal Government is in a better
position than it ever has been to
prevent that disastrous expansion
and contraction Of credit which in
the past has made our economic
life a succession OF unhealthy
booms and disastrous depressions.
In the midst of the greatest and
most disastrous of these depres-
sions the very foundation of indi-
vidual life was crumbling in the
Spring Of 1888 because of the ap-
palling increase in suffering and
restitution, due to the fact of I'M
employment. Local and State
governments and private charities
were, in the large, drained of their
resources. With the utmost good
will in the world they could not
meet their primary responsibility.
The situation which I faced was
too challenging and too mandatory
to permit of hesitation An Ameri-
can Government cannot permit
Americans to starve.
The task assumed in Federal re-
lief carried us on an uncharted
course. Mistakes and errors were

Capitol Hill Comment.
There were, however, some scat

member Of the Foreign Relations Com
mtttee, said:
The President in his speech at
San Diego yesterday indicated he was
standing flat-footedly for peace. In
that, he will undoubtedly have the
support of the people"
Senator King. Democrat, of Utah:

ROOSEVELT TALKS
Z SPLIT OPINIONS
Legislators Find Praise and
Criticism for Speeches
on Trip.
By the Associated Press.

~ hhc AooOlidtCo 1850
President Roosevelt's speeches dur
ing his trip across the continent
aroused criticism and praise today
among legislators.
Democrats commended the President
had made favorable impression on
the people in his outline of policies.
They said his figures on business i'm
provement could not help but be re-
assuring.
However Representative Bolton, Re-
publican, of Ohio said in a radio ad-
dress that the Chief Executive once
more was making promises in the
hope Of reviving lost confidence in
the New Deal"
A Roosevelt hacker, Senator Norris,
Republican, of Nebraska, said:
President Roosevelt's call at Los
Angeles upon hberal-minded people
to unite and work together ought to
appeal to every progressive in Amer
lea. Certainly a combination of effort
by those who think alike will bring
desired results, but if they go off on
partisan considerations and try to
accomplish the same thing in different
ways, the danger is that failure will be
the result"
Depends On Viewpoint.
Senator Davis, Republican. of Penn
sylvania. took a different slant at
these remarks of the President.
1T depends on your viewpoint of
liberality." he said Are you going
to be liberal with the markets of
the United States and permit imports
in competition with our own from
low-wage workers of the rest of the
world, as Secretary Hull is doing now
with his reciprocal trade agreements?
I want to be that kind of a liberal
who will not build up bureaucracy
and destroy American business"
The comment OF Senator Black,
Democrat, of Alabama was:
Forces of reaction and privilege
are fostering and stimulating possible
divisions on the part of the people
who are opposed to greed and cupidity
Of the reactionary class. There is
nothing they would like better than
q division which would place them
back in the saddle. That would be a
tragic thing"
Seeking Lost Confidence"
In his radio address last night,
Bolton, chairman of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee,
declared the President was trying to
revive lost confidence" in his pro-
gram lin the face of past record
Of shattered pledges that makes his
new assurances unconvincing
Again" said the Ohioan, 1T is OBJ
vious that he takes for granted that
subservient Congress will do his
bidding. But the fact is that proper
legislative functioning, impossible I'M
der the present New Deal ma jority in
Congress. is one of the great needs
confronting the country"

This demonstration of naval power,
the most spectacular ever witnessed by
Chief Executive of the Nation, fol-
lowed Mr.. Roosevelt's speech, in which

Nation, he said. intends and expects
to remain at peace with the world"
1t was in the last war, the President
said, that during more than three
years of increasing hardship we came
to understand the ultimate national
need for more than necessities and
pleasures of life."
he reviewed the en0rtS OF MS ao-
ministration to meet this need to cope
with depression.
Conceding there have been mistakes,
he nevertheless said he saw signs
unmiStakable signs-of the restoration
of the sound and genuine confidence
of the masses Of the people in the
fairness and integrity Of Government"
From March. 1888, through June,
1895, Mr.. Roosevelt said, industrial
production has jumped As per cent;
factory employment, IS per cent:
rural general store sales, 104 per cent:
automobile sales, 157 per cent; elec-
trical power production, IS per cent.
while bank deposits in active CONNER
