Senator Long, Democrat. of Louisi.
ana was bitterly criticized at the
White House today by Norman Thom-
as. Socialist presidential candidate In
1882. for what he termed his indif.

farmers on cotton plantations
Thomas said q reign of terror Is
actually In existence in Arkansas as
a result of evictions and that Senate
Majority Leader Robinson Is doing
nothing to remedy the situation. He
declared Long Is the political overload
of Arkansas as well as Louisiana. and
that he Is doing nothing to relieve
conditions.
Longs hypocrisy" Thomas said
never has been better shown than in
this instance. There Is worse misery
on his doorstep than anywhere else In
the United States. and he hasn't lifted
his finger.

the meantime. he'll be out of job
after the next election, because hes
going to be badly licked man.
Thomas said with emphasis. Il do
not often make political predictions
but / have no hesitancy In making
this one about Robinson"
This blast against Senators Robin
son and Long was delivered by Thomas s
Just outside the door to the private
office Of the President. where he had
Just conferred with the Executive.
He said ne called the Presidents at
tention to the serious state OF affairs
among the tenant cotton farmers, par
ticularly in Arkansas. and made an
appeal for help from the administra-
tion.
Thomas said the President appeared
interested, but refrained from further
comment upon the Presidents atti-
tude. saying the President can speak
for himself"

mittee about published
secret war testimony was
plenty. But what he said privately at
a White House dinner the night before
was even more. Apparently the Presi-
dent has not been so greatly aroused
about anything In a long time.
The affair has deep roots. The Nc
Swain forces and the War Depart
ment general staff have been more or
less openly at odds for a long time
1t may not be true that Mr.. McSwain
let the matter out Intentionally. but
you can never make Chief of Staff
Macarthur believe anything different.
These two misunderstand each other
with deep and relentless feeling.
II Was Gen. Macarthur, as ,DeH
as the State Department officials,
who helped to inspire Mr.. Roose-
Uelt's ,rrath, if it really needed any
inspiration
What made Macarthur red-headed
was that the published secret told the
world the weakest points of American
defense. In fact. it disclosed how any
foreign power could best go about
attacking the United States.
Evening star., 1935-05-02

| For instance, it contained a list of
vital areas of attack, mentioning oil
refineries, pipe lines and water routes.
Even more, 1t told how the attack
could be instituted easily II any for
eign country would secretly send over
a couple of freight-fueling ships and
establish temporary air bases at points
nearby. Then the bombers could come
! along later in a hurry, pick up fuel.
and go to work, before we knew what
they we're about.
/ Perhaps some of this has been
! figured out by some of the foreign
powers. But il they did not know it
before, they do now.
These roots were neatly covered up
in the public handling of the matter.
The Army officer whose secret testi-
mony was disclosed was induced to
make a statement that his testimony
represented only his personal opinions.
| This hardly fooled any foreign mill
tary men or any one else. All it did
was to lay the diplomatic dust which
was being kicked up, mainly from
! Canada.
What made the Canadian angle
| so embarrassing for the State De-
pdrtment is that the non -mtti-
tnrised frontier bet,oeen this conn-
/ try and Canada is one OF the diplo-
matte pets OF the department. We
are toreuer calling the attention OF
other nations to it as an ideal tor
them to tolloU. To haze the Army
make ii appear that De iDere con-
templutinp secret air bases there
tDas. to say the least, eIaSperating.
The worst of 1t was that the Cana
dian government requested an expla-
nation almost at the very moment
that Undersecretary Of State Phillips
was unveiling a tablet here COM
memorating the signing, 118 years ago,
OF the Rush-B -Bagot agreement. whereby
the United States and Canada agreed
never to militarize their frontiers.
Plan Based on Theory.
The fundamental fact of the situ-
alton IL that Canada and every other
nation secretly makes military prepa-
rations TO meet any eventuality.
Every one knows that military men
have to keep in mind the possibility
that treaties may be broken. In this
instance, any other nation might we'll
use Canada as base for air attack.
Just as Germany used Belgium tin
violation of treaties) for the attack on
France At least this possibility must
be considered.
For that reason the incident may
not have serious consequences.
You cannot blame every war office
in the world for laughing.
New Deal Weakness.
A Republican presidential possi-
bility was travelling in the Midwest .
few days ago with a New Dealer.
They we're brought together by the
drought relief business, not friend
ship.
Said the Republican. by way of con-
versation: We Republicans have one
political issue on you New Dealers
which you will never be abe to meet"
What's that?" asked the New
Dealer politely.
"The tariff" responded the Re-
publican. "You Democrats Uent up
and doiUn this land in 1892 de-
nouncino the Smoot- HdDley tariff
bill, and to this date you have not
repealed the lan or instituted any
e6ectiUe program to replace it,"
The New Dealer had to admit of
the record that the Republican might
be nearly right about that

the Governments new baby bond"

Early Gains Largely Lost; Clos.
Ing Tone Easy; Transfers
Total 4eo, 900 Shares

New York. March Selling
Of the tobacco shares pulled . quiet
stock market slightly lower In the
late trading Wednesday.
Small gains in other sections Of
the list were largely lost, as the to-
bacco issues declined I to 3 points.
The closing tone was easy. Transfers
approximated 480, 900 shares.
Brokers circles could advance no
specific reasons for the sudden weak
ness Of the tobacco group, but some
felt It was attributable to increased
costs under the comparatively new
code for the industry, and the rise In
raw material prices.
Coca Cola, however, was q high
flier, rising more than Z points to
around 1873, stirring up further "split
up" talk. Strength Of wheat, coinci-
dent with dust storm news, helped
farm implement and mail order
shares earlier. but they closed barely
changed. Oils were up fractionally,
and crude oil futures improved.
Shares losing about 2 to 3 points
included American Tobacco B, Lig-
gett & Myers b, and Phillip Morris.
Steels finally sagged fractionally. as
midweek reviews Of the industry re-
ported for slackening Of operations.
The bulk Of the list closed barely
changed.
Cotton was unable to continue its
recovery, but most Of the staple mar.
