O4'NNAoA DAoFooSAA ~ AAS SeoA'
HOUSTON, Tex, January ga
protest against the assumption by
government of functions which We
know can best be performed by pri-
vate persons and private business"
was voiced yesterday by President
elect Walter S. Schmidt of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards in his outline of the associa-
tons 1885 program.
The Government should not be-
come a landlord to its own citizens
by engaging in construction, renting
and sale of real estate" Schmidt said.
The Government should not assume
the functions of the real estate man
in land development, in appraising and
in the servicing Of loans.
"As long as the Government en-
cages in such matters. individual and
LEGAL initiative and activity are para
lyzed Except for matter having to d.
with controlling and sustaining Of
mortgage credit, We shall oppose fur
ther extension of Government COM
petition with private business in our
field"
Banquet Ends Session.
The association closed its annU2'
MidWinter business meeting here las
night with an inauguration banquet
at which Schmidt. Cincinnati realtor,
was indicted as president to succeed
Hugh Potter of Houston.
New regulations governing the
holding of future national conventions
of the association were adopted at the
annual business meeting yesterday
afternoon. Under the new regulations
the realtors will meet only once yearly,
instead of twice, as heretofore.
The Nation was divided into nine
regions and provision made for the
holding of regional conventions as
substitute for the national Midwinter
meeting. The board of directors will
meet in January to inaugurate officers
elected at the annual convention.
The 1885 convention will be held in
Atlantic City, probably during the
last week in October, it was decided.
Invitations from Honolulu and Louis
vile. KY, were considered.
Throughout the ensuing year the
National Association Of Real Estate
Boards will continue its efforts
toward the establishment of a Federal
mortgage discount bank, to serve
as a market for sound mortgages

Walsh bill to require N r. A. code
standards in Government contracts.
Both passed the Senate but we're not
acted upon by the House.
The Congress sought to remedy
two laws which the Supreme
Court had declared unconstitutional,
the railroad pension act and
the Frazier -Lemke farm moratorium
act. Bills were passed and sent to
the President. They are believed by
their proponents to avoid the oitfall
of unconstitutionality. Representa-
tive Crosser of Ohio, Democrat, led
the fight for the railroad pension act.
At the behest of President Roosevelt
Congress enacted a law to pronibit
suits against the Government because
Of the reputation of the gold con-
tracts in Government securities. The
Senate insisted upon allowing claim
ants to enter suits during a period
Of six months after the enactment OF
the law. This was finally changed
to allow the claimants until January /
to file suit
A bill giving to the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority wider authority and
scope was enacted. and also a new
alcohol control act, but not without
real struggles both in conference and
on the floor Of the Senate and House.

1t is true that there is a great dis
play of British force in the Mediter-
ranean at present. The finest fight
ing units of the British navy are rap
idly being concentrated at Gibraltar,
Malta and Alexandria. Flying squad
rons are leaving their home bases, but
not all of them stop at Malta or
Cairo. They go further east toward
Ceylon and Singapore.
Having made up its mind that Mus
solini cannot be stopped and that
other powers are reluctant to apply
the mailed fist to force Italy to aban-
don its plans Of conquest, the British
government has decided to waste no
time and get ready for the possible
consequences of II Duce's aggression.
These consequences. it is agreed by
all British statesmen, may lead to a
clash Of color.
Under the circumstances. the
British Empire wiH be the first TO
suffer. And the London cabinet, IN
agreement With the domtnionS is
taking the necessary steps not to
be caught mapping.
X X *
The British fighting Units are being
concentrated close to the Suez Canal,
the gateway to the Far East, ostensibly
to be at hand to enforce the sanctions
which the League may apply against
Italy.
But the London cabinet knows now
that no sanctions will be voted at
Geneva. The French told them So
The British cabinet is also somewhat
doubtful about Italy's ability to break
through the resistance Of the Ethio-
plans in a short time. The British
cabinet is also aware Of the state Of
mind Of the people in the Far East
and knows that at this moment India
and Arabia are in a state of effer-
vescence. Thus, without appearing
openly to consider the possibility of a
major war in the Far East. it is
taking all the possible precautions to
be in a position to meet dangerous
situation out there.
Molders Of British public opinion,
such as J. L. Garvin, the editor OF
the widely read newspaper, the OBJ
server, are pointing out already that
Abyssinia really does not deserve the
sympathy Of the British public. Gar
win accuses the politicians of all par
ties in his country of showing a re-
markable lack of comprehension con-
cerning Abyssinia, the aims of II Duce,
the fundamentals of French policies
and the practical limitations Of the
League as it now exists.
After vividly describing slave
train" in the twentieth century and
pointing out that such sights are q
every day occurrence in Abyssinia, he
goes on to inform his readers that
the Christianity of the Ethiopian is
a myth. OF the 100000 inhabitants
of a country about four times the
size of the British Isles, less than
one third are Christians Of sorts. I"
Some 100000 are pagans in state
of ferocious savagery" and the rest
are MoslemS.
Carun and other leading editors
in London accuse the British gou-
ernment of having played its cards
poorly and having transformed
whdt should hare been purely
Colonial question into an inter
national problem OF the first
magnitude.
They accuse their government Of
having used poor psychology in deal
ing with the Italians. The govern

CONGRESS PASSES
GOLD SUIT BILL
Votes Away Citizens Right
to Sue Government After
January |.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Congress voted away yesterday the
right Of citizens to sue the Govern
ment after next January I for DAM
ages-potentially aggregating $1,000
600 00,000-that might be charged to
dollar sdevaluation and gold clause
abrogation.
A compromise bill, withdrawing that
privilege, sped to the Presidents desk
after the House accepted with little
discussion and no record vote a con-
ference report, adjusting its major OBJ
jections to Senate amendments.
(The legislation in final shape pro-
vided specifically that no suits shall
be permitted later than January l on:
Securities containing gold payment
clauses, coin, currency or claims. based
on surrender of coin. currency or gold
and silver to the Government.)
The final language toned down the
original House proposal-which Re
publican critics contended would en-
danger Government credit-to forbid
suits on any type Of Government
obligation,
The House wanted to bar suits i'm
mediately on enactment of the bill.
The Senate suggested six months
wait before imposing the ban.
Their Conference Committee mem
bers deadlocked, but finally received
word that the President would not
object to a short period Of grace. be-
cause he believed the price level would
be sufficiently stable so no one could
prove damages against the Govern
ment. The Supreme Court set the
damages" criteria for collecting in
such cases.
With the deadline set at January l.,
the issue is less likely to recur in the
next session of Congress, convening
with the opening of the new year.
The potential damage Of $1,000
600, 900 arises from the fact that
more than $4,000 .oOo.o in gold
clause obligations are outstanding. It
would require $1.69 in present day
dollars to represent the same gold
content as the old dollar bill. The
Treasury has been retiring gold Secur-
tiles on a dollar for dollar face value
basis.
The legislation also authorizes hold
ers Of gold clause obligations to trade
them dollar-for dollar for currency
up to July /, 1885.
The bill was requested by the ad-
ministration after the Supreme Court
failed to uphold abrogation of gold
payment clauses in Government obli-
cations and left the way open for
damage suits.

AS the clouds of war become more
dense, the leaders of armies in Europe
are more in the public eye and be-
coming increasingly popular every
where.
This is especially noticeable in
Soviet Russia Comrade VoroShlloh,
the minist er of war, Is at present the
hero of the people. much more so
than Stain or any other Red leader.
Wherever the head Of the Red
armies goes he is met with enthusiastic
cheers.
This 1UorTies little the ciuilidn
heads of the U. s. S. r. Stain, in
particular, is not happy about it
and Mould like to make some
changes in the command OF the
Soviet forces. Unfortunately, for
him, Voroshilof is Irorshiped by
the Red battalions and it mould
be playing somewhat dangerous
game to touch him Just now.

Furthermore, 1t would be difficult
to find an adequate substitute for the
present commander of the Russian
forces. There are, of course. two bril-
liant generals at the head of the
army in the field, Tukatchewski anc
Blucher. But these men are not l0C
percenters, both having served under
the Gar.
At one time it Is said. Stain in.
tended to put Gen. Budeny in Voro-
shiloff's place. But the new allies oi
the Soviet pointed out to the head Of
the government that such a move
would be suicidal because of the lack
of intellectual qualifications of this
former commissioned officer in
the Czarist army, who can barely sign
his name.

ALCOHOL CONTROL
BILL AWAITS PEN
House-Senate Differences
Compromised, Providing
Commission.
Sy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Shooting another major measure to
the White House, the Senate yesterday
approved the conference report ad-
jllsting Senate-HouSe differences on
the liquor control bill, The House had
acted earlier in the day.
The finished BILL compromise be-
tween the two branches sets up new
alcohol commission in the Treasury
TO replace the control agency which
lost enforcement powers with N. r. A.
Sales of liquor in kegs and barrels
are forbidden.
Killed Twice in Session.
At least twice during the session the
bill was killed and resurrected-al be-
cause of a fight over what some
termed the whisky trust" But on
the last day only perfunctory Senate
vote was needed to send the bill to
President Roosevelts S certain signature.
The measure was fairly simple. 1t
created, in the Treasury Department,
a new Federal Alcohol Administration,
to have charge of a code much like
the six which regulated the entire
liquor industry until N R. A. was de-
clared unconstitutional.
The new code, for example, would
forbid such things as false advertis-
ing. misrepresentation on labels and
belittling of competitors product.
There was no particular hitch on
that. But the House Ways and Means
Committee, largely at the insistence
of Representatives Fuller, Democrat,
of Arkansas, and Duncan, Democrat,
of Missouri, had insisted on permit
ting the sale of liquor in and from
barrels.
View Of Morgenthau.
Secretary Morgenthau said 1t would
take an army 10 enforce the liquor tax
laws if such permission were granted,
and the Senate listened to him.
Fuller, however, insisted that the
Treasury-not Morgenthau directly
but some of his aides-were under the
control of the whisky trust which, he
asserted, has q complete monopoly OF
the bottle business.
Before the House approved the con-
ference agreement with the Senate
Fuller predicted that the ban on bar
rel sales will cause us a bigger liquor
scandal than ever existed before pro-
fibition.
Another thing to which Fuller and
some others objected was the fact the
bill would establish no Federal con-
troll over breweries, although it would
apply to distillers, wholesalers, ware
housemen and distributors.

Ne7V York Stock Exchange Prices

By United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-War fears
brought substantial selling into the
stock market today. TickerS for a
time were several minutes behind
as prices declined l to points in
the main list.
Domestic uncertainty, mainly in
the railroads, also was an influence.
Railroad shares were heaviest losers,
with New York Central off points
and Union Pacific off more than 3.
Some realizing came into the mo-
tors after their recent rise, but they
met support before noon and raj
lied from the lows. The so-called
war stocks shared in the decline
along with other groups.
Today'S selling followed a drop
in the last few minutes of trading
yesterday. The latter, inspired by
railroad difficulties, left the market
lower after a rise. Today the mar
ket opened lower and then declined
further Late in the second hour
selling attained such proportions
that the tape fell behind 2 minutes,
despite abbreviation of quotes.

THOMAS AGAIN
THREATENS TO
IGNORE SILVER
Senator Says He May
ESpouSe a Managed
Currency Scheme.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Senator
Elmer Thomas ID, Okla), Senate
silver leader, today threatened tc
drop the silver movement entirely If
the Administration does not take
quick steps to make it real basic
and primary money"
Mr.. Thomas said that if the silver
program was not to be supplemented
he would drop silver and eSpouse
managed currency scheme similar
to that being used by Great Brit
ain.
Whats the Use of buying silver,
he declared angrily, IF it's not 60
ing to be used? You might as well
buy cotton or wheat or any other
commodity and store it away.
Might Bring Losses
There's no assurance that when
the next Administration comes
along it won't stop purchasing sill
yer. When that happens there will
be a terrific loss on the silver held
by the government and to the mines
which have been opened up on the
basis of the Silver-buying program
Senator Thomas indicated that
there was a fundamental split
among members of the Senate silver
bloc on the question of the govern
ment's future policy toward the
metal.
Apparently, Mr. Thomas said
Senators from silver mining states
are content for the government tC
&C along as at present.
I'm not, however" he said flat
ly. IF we're not going to monetizf
silver at a price of $129 an ounce
so that the silver dollar is worth g
dollar, let's stop pretending and dror
the program.
Is Seeking. Results
Lets get behind some other pro-
gram that will actually bring the
results desired. The only other plar
of that nature with any prospect Of
success, I think, is the British man
aged currency scheme"
Senator Thomas SAID he would at
tend a meeting of the special Sen
ate silver policy investigating COM
mittee to be held at Salt Lake City
Utah, Oct II. He will present t
his colleagues there the results 0.
QUESTIONABLE which he sent ou
to economists and fiscal experts or
the silver program.
"I'ye got so to rs answers already,
Senator Thomas said. ''They sup.
port my position completely"
