PRESIDENT WEIGHS
AUTO SPEED CURB
Buchanan Proposal Urges
Factory Limitations to
Halt Accidents.
By J. RUSSELL YOUNG,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star


WARM SPRINGS, Ga, November
27.-President Roosevelt today made
known he is considering a proposal
made here by Representative Bu-
chanan for limiting speeds of auto
mobiles at the factories.
Mr.. Roosevelt said his interest in
the proposal is in keeping with The
Evening Stars safety campaign.
Representative Buchanan, pointing
to the growing number of deaths from
automobile accidents which he feels
are largely attributable to excessive
speed, has suggested the advisability
of Federal statute prohibiting ship
ment in interstate commerce of auto
mobiles capable of speed of more
than so miles per hour. That, in
the opinion of Buchanan, may be the
only answer to the mounting auto
mobile death toll-a toll that has
accounted for more casualties already
this year than the United States suf-
fered in the World War.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had not yet
been satisfied as to the constitution
ality of the proposal and he did not
indicate how far he expected to 60
in considering it as a recommends
ton to Congress.
Works on Atlanta Speech.
With his budget conferences out of

Roosevelt today is devoting most of

at the mammoth Homecoming cele-
bration in his honor in Atlanta Friday
afternoon.

are anticipating some utterance of
political significance, but the President

M0RGENTHAU HITS
BONUS ON RETURN
F ROM PRESIDENT
Says Administration Views
Are Unchanged-Shuns
Hazard About Veto.
By the Associated Press.

Just back from a talk with Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau said today that so
far as I know" the administration has
not changed its attitude toward cash
payment OF the bonus.
The Treasury chiefs remarks were
made at a press conference. Some
Of his listeners Immediately inter-
preted them as meaning any such
legislation enacted next session of
Congress would again get a presi-
Dental veto.
Morgenthau, however, declined to
talk on that point, although his in
terviewers had little doubt as to what
he had in mind. He said:
The bonus question is not UP at
this time and I do not care to discuss
it further"
Organizations May Unite.
The American Legion and Veterans
Of Foreign Wars both have declared
anew for immediate payment of the
bonus. Some seek to get the two big
veterans organizations to unite be-
hind one bill rather than to split as
they did last session over the question
of currency expansion.
Both House and Senate last Spring
passed the Patman bill, calling for
the issuance of around $4,000, 900 900
in new currency to pay the face value
Of adjusted compensation certificates.
President Roosevelt vetoed it, the
House overrode his veto and the Sem
ate sustained it.
The issue will be revived in the first
days of the next session. for the House
is to vote January Is on whether it
will consider the Patman bill.
Budget Affect Studied.
Morgenthau's comment was conSid-
cred particularly significant because
he had just returned from a Warm
Springs, Ga, discussion of the budget.
Unless the currency expansion method
were used, bonus payment would han
dicap the decision said to have been
reached to reduce the deficit next
fiscal year.
Informed Of the Morgenthau state
ment, John Thomas Taylor, legislative
representative for the American Le-
gion, said I'VE are confident that q
bill calling for the full and immediate
payment of the bonus will be passed
at the next session"
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
majority leader, he added, had stated
absolutely and positively" that the
Steering and Policy Committee of the
Senate had voted to bring the bonus
measure up for consideration by the
Finance Committee by January Is and
that the proposal would be acted upon
during the session.

PARIS, November 81 Premier
Pierre Laval strengthened hopes of
saving his cabinet from overthrow,
informed sources said today, by pin
ming his government to the golden
franc"
The question Of dissolution Of ma
tionalistic leagues, on which Leftist
forces had intended to attack the
government at the opening of Parlia-
ment tomorrow. fell into the back
ground, superseded by financial issues.
The powerful Radical Socialist group
of the Chamber of Deputies agreed
by vote of % to 20 to give precedence
to budget questions in the Parliament
proceedings.
This dominant bloc conditioned its
granting Of the premiers request that
financial matters take priority, how
ever. with insistence that debate on
action against such nationalistic
groups as the war veterans organiza-
ton, Croix de Feu, follow Immediately.
Fears Allayed.
The cabinet was generally regarded
as safe in its stand against devalua-
ton of the franc and in favor of a
balanced budget, and the Radical
Socialists indicated they were salts
fed with Laval's announced promise
to attempt to curb political leagues.
The Radical Socialists met with
other Leftist groups today to decide
their joint position in tomorrow's
opening debate, and it was generally
believed the entire Left would agree
to the compromise.
Premier Laval's radio account of mis-
stewardship of the nation. delivered
last night, appeared to have made a
generally good impression.
The fate of the franc will be de-
cided Thursday" the premier asserted
Sees Rise from Depression.
He said France was rising from eco
nomic depression through the govern
ment's economy drive and has reached
a point at which, for the first time
since the depression started, normal
government revenues covered all ordi-
nary expenses.
He declared himself absolutely op-
posed to devaluation of any kind, as
serting he declined to accept response
bility for any such move and its "catas-
trophic possibilities"
Confronted by a choice between
economy and devaluation, Laval as
serted, the government decided on the
former and was determined to abide by
that decision.
He called for showdown with Par
lament, asserting:
IF Parliament feels otherwise, let II
say so clearly, for the country has a
right to demand a clear-cut situation
There can be no more urgent matter
for debate. This question once settled
and it can be in few hours-the
government declares itself ready to be-
gin examination of all political prob
lems."

Showered by a mixture of praise
and criticism for the course they have
taken on the Italo- Ethiopian conflict,
high administration officials are con-
sidering new step in the neutrality
policy.
The move under study, authoritative
sources indicated, is system of quotas
which would be clamped on exports Of
essential war materials, limiting strict
ly the shipment Of such things as
oil, copper. scrap iron and steel to
warning nations.
1t is believed Congress will be asked
to provide such system, II the ad-
ministration finally decides on it. The
quotas probably would be designed to
limit trade with belligerents to a
normal volume.
1t would be in line with the school
OF thought that argues that q war
trade boom tends to draw neutrals
into war. Some historians contend
one reason the United States entered
the World War was that it built UP
an enormous business selling NUM-
tionS and materials to the allies. Thus,
it is said, America acquired a vested
interest" in the allied cause and
eventually had to get into the struggle
to protect its stake.
To Avoid Extreme"
At the same time, it is believed
the administration seeks to avoid the
extreme Of cutting of all exports to
fighting countries, plan which Sen
ator Pope, Democrat, of Idaho will
push in the next session of Congress.
There have been signs, some COM
mentators say, that the administra-
tion'S attempts to discourage sales to
Italy and Ethiopia by moral pres
sure" were aimed at keeping such ex-
ports down to normal until Congress
decides what further legislation it
wants. If trade with the belligerents
were kept down to normal, some OBJ
servers said, there would be no boom
balloon for Congress to puncture by
restrictive legislation, with possible
damage to the Nations economy.
A State Department spokesman
was stung to strongly-worded Ian
guage by some recent criticims of the
neutrality policy. These have in
cluded the charge, vigorously denied,
that the United States was helping
the League Of Nations in imposing
anti-Italian sanctions, and is now
lessening its pressure against certain
exports because Of the Leagues de-
lay in considering an oil and steel
embargo against Italy.

Dignifed Protests

It was in dignified, but entirely justi- fled, manner that the Knights of Colum- bus meeting in national convention di- rected the Supreme Council of this order of Catholic laymen to protest the contin- ued silence of President Roosevelt and other dignitaries of state on the Mexican situation with regard to persecution of the religious of the Catholic faith, as we'll as the people themselves. This is the cul- imitation of efforts on the part of the Knights to cause the United States to take some definite action on this matter.
 Correspondence between Washington and New Haven, where the supreme head quarters of the K. of c. is located, has been going on now for more than year. Unfortunately it has been mainly carried on from the New Haven end, as even President Roosevelt has shown a tendency to ignore the repeated requests of the order for some definite action in keeping with the policy of the United States in matters of this sort. Of course the excuse readily is offered that international ques- tions right now are dynamite and ex- treme care must be exercised by our State Department and other officials.
 In the past the United States has not been so careful as all this. And history shows that she did not suffer as result of her intervention. It is being forced on Catholics of the United States that there is a real lack of sympathy at Washington for their vigorous protests against condi- tions in Mexico. Even if this reign of suppression of religious rights does end, 1t can always be said that this government stood by and watched intolerance and Goddess government proceed to wreak its vengeance. The country should be thank full for such organizations as the K. of c. that have the courage to make formal pro- tests and to continue them when govern mental help is denied.
