PARIS, July, 10 G.N.S0.-Col.
Alfred Dreyfus goes to his grave
tomorrow, but the central figure
in one of history's greatest
frameups may play, in death, one
last important role in his coun-
try's affairs before the pages Of
the famous "Dreyfus case" are

Eighty thousand troops, with
full war equipment, were ready

Radical groups predicted they
would have a million marchers in

authorities feared the death Of
Dreyfus would add fuel to their
fighting ardor.
Police, Troops Ready
In the western part of city, a
quarter of a million right-wing
political adherents were expected
to rally.
Police had completed elaborate
plans to keep the inimical groups
apart, but the funeral of the man
who, as a young Jewish army Off

RUSSIA SIGNS.
TRADEPACT |
WITH j. s.
Agrees to. Buy $30,000,0 900
Goods in America, Doubling
Last Years Total


Soviet Russia has agreed to buy
80 million dollars worth Of
American goods during the next
IL months under a new trade
agreement signed between the
United States and the Soviet
Union at Moscow today, the State
Department announced.
In return, the United States
has agreed to grant Soviet Rus
STA all tariff concessions which
this country has made, or will
make to other nations during the
next IL months, under the recip-
rocal trade agreement program.
Exports to Be Doubled
The new agreement represents
the first trade pact the United
States has had with Russia since
establishment Of the Soviet
regime 18 years ago. 1t was de-
Scribed by the State Department
in an official announcement as
designed to facilitate and increase
the development Of trade between
the two countries.
The announcement added that
Soviet Russia's promise to pur.
chase thirty million dollars worth
of American goods during the next
IL months will represent an in
crease of 100 per cent over the
value of American exports to the
Soviet Union last year, and an
increase of about $50 per cent
over the average exports during
the three-year period from 1932-34,
inclusive.
The agreement was negotiated
and signed in Moscow. It based
on an exchange of notes between
American Ambassador William
Bullitt and Soviet Foreign Com
missar Maxim Litvinoff.
Sound Basis" Claim
The State Department an
nouncement said:
"TheSe notes provide a sound
basis for the mutually beneficial
expansion of trade between the
United States and the Soviet
Union"
The State Department explained
that the agreement with the Soviet
Union, although intimately related
to the trade agreement program
of the United States, was not con-
cluded pursuant to the authority
of the trade agreement act OF
1884, explaining:
ut does not involve any re-
ciprOcal concessions in respect
to tariff rates."
Instead of any promise on the
part of Russia to reduce rates, the
Soviet Union makes a definite
pledge to purchase $30,000,000 Of
American goods.
In return the United States will
grant it all the concessions made
under the trade agreements re-
Gently concluded with Belgium,
Haiti and Sweden. In addition,
the Soviet Union will receive the
benefits of the new trade agree
ment with Brazil as soon as the
latter is proclaimed.
The concessions under the Bra
lillian agreement are among the
most important to Russia. They
include a so per cent reduction on
manganese.

He argued that the States
would stand in danger Of losing
all their rights if they were to
be committed ito the exclusive
guardianship of Congress, unre-
strained in the exercise of their
powers but by their own inter.
probation Of our Federal
Charter"
Speaking of the fullneSs of his
experience in the Senate, Mr..
Berrien admitted that he was
forced to this belief:
"When look to the history Of
the legislation of all free States,
to the history Of our own legisla-
ton; when 1 see how often the
decisions of deliberative bodies
are influenced by considerations
of temporary expediency, how
often they are Swayed by the
impulses of monetary feelings;
when 1 observe, in the seasons
of great political excitement,
with what undertaking uniform
ity the ranks of party are mar
! Shalled even on questions Of Con-
stitutiOnal law; when 1 con-
slider that, from the very nature
of the power to be exercised,
every recurrence of a question,
however sOlemnly it may have
been decided, throws it open to
new controversy"
During the past hundred
years, as authorities agree, the
office of governor, lin its origin,
its development, and it's present
status" has greatly increased its
powers.
1t is no less true, however,
that this high office has latterly
lost much of the dignity and
honor that attached to it in the
earlier days of the republic.
EXTERNAL VIGILANCE"
The opportunity to lead the
people of a sovereign State in
opposition to the sapping expedi-
ton now organizing in Congress
to overthrow the American sys-
tenn of Government and make
Congress the supreme power will
help to restore the prestige OF
the office of governor.
Every State which elects
governor this year or next will
have a chance to register a pro-
test against scrapping the Con-
Stitution, ham-stringing the Su
preme Court and destroying the
rights of the States.
But to win the fight the
voters of both parties when they
come to nominating their can
didates for governor must put
none but Americans on guard"

nal vigilance" which all expe-

A brave and honest governor

and Representatives who join
the sapping expedition which is
seeking to undermine the whole
American system of government.
On this account thoughtful
citizens in every State in the
Union will not be caught nap
