The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-01-17


The league conducts its inten-
sive and far-reaching publicity
campaign from the suite of Of
fices on the tenth floor of the
National Press building which
formerly housed the Democratic
committee. Shouse sits today at
the same desk he had during the
powerful anti-Hoover publicity
drive of 1931-1932. Incidentally,
the leagues first publicity was
rushed out on a mimeograph
hastily borrowed from the Demo-
cratic committee.
The membership of the league
is said to number more than 100,-
600, largely business men and
lawyers. There are two classes
of membership, regular and con-
tributing. The regular embraces
those who believe in the principles
of the league and to this every
American citizen is eligible with
out financial contribution. The
contributing members embrace
those who in addition are able
and willing to give monetary help
for the leagues support.
The league defines its purpose
as observation-disclosures of the
constitution and dissemination of
information teaching the duty of
government to encourage and pro-
tect individual and group ini-
tiative, to foster the right to
work, earn, save and acquire prop
erty, and to preserve the owner
ship and lawful use of property
when acquired"
Pamphlets Distributed
While the great majority of
the utterances of its spokesman
and of its releases to the press
have been severely critical of the
Roosevelt administration, the
league commended the President
on two occasions. One was his
veto of the soldiers bonus and the
other was his reported opposition
to proposed legislation requiring
adoption of the 30-hour work week
in industry.
In the year and half of its
existence. the league has dis
tributed 100000 pamphlets on
subjects ranging from "a Pro-
gram for Congress" to a report on
the constitutionality of the po-
tato control act. League officials
saw its activities have been the
subject of 100000 new stories
and editorials.
In addition to the executive
committee there are a national
advisory committee and ma
tional lawyers committee, the lat
ter composed of prominent attor-
news whose reports on the validity
of esnew deal" laws and proposed
laws have stirred widespread and
heated political controversy.

 In the Democratic and Republi- can primaries present standings ot the respective can idates, and which the best informed believe will not likely be altered by the few re- maining votes to come, are sum- marized as follows:
 In the Democratic primaries Vic tor c. Rivers of Fairbanks is F ahead of Thomas J. DeVane o1 Ruby for Senator. This has been a neck and neck race with posi- tions changing many times as re- turns came in. Rivers was four be- hind in the last previous count
 In the Democratic race for Rep resentatives high men in the order of their strength are Victor Ross, Leo Rogge, Dan L. Green and AL fred Ghezzi. Green is from Manley Hot Springs and the others all from Fairbanks.
 In the Republican primaries for the Fourth Division the most in- teresting race was for Representa- tive. The four apparently elected are, in order of strength Andrew Nerland, Fred Johnson. Louis D. Colbert and John Boswell, all of Fairbanks.
 Fourth Division returns to date summarized in both parties are:
 Democratic-Dimond, LILA; Tru- it, 92l; Boyle, SPA; Holman, 2S9; Hesse, 963; DeVane, 58l; Rivers, 593; Anderson, 414; Ghezzi, 498; Green, 6l4; Palm, 392; Rogge, 646; Ross, 654; Smith, 423; Thompson, 486.

Repu blicans in Cleveland Urging Diplomatic
 Guidance

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 8.-In a prefunctory session which brought none of the Party strife to the sur- face, the Republican National Con- vention simply went through mere formalities this forenoon with tem- porary organizing and appointment of committees on platform, ereden- tials and other subjects.
 Many caucuses were immediately called for settlement of various disputes and forceful diplomatic guidance is being urged on all sides.
 The routine business was dispatch ed within less than an hour and a recess was taken to o'clock to- night to hear the keynote speech by Senator Steiwer, of Oregon.
 The larger delegations apparent ly are keeping their own counsel on many issues and there is no pell- mell rush as evidenced in 1928 to put Hoover across.
 The Kansans have chosen Her man Langworthy of Kansas City as their candidate to head the plat form committee after long nego. tiations to get former Senator Thomas, of Idaho to accept had failed.
 There are frequent expressions of confidence shown by the Landon leaders but now there are fewer references to band wagon rush.

WIDELY KNOWN MERCHANT QUITS
 U. s. CHAMBER
E. A. Filene Says 1t Cannot and Will Not Plan for
 Business Gains

BOSTON, June g. Edward A Filene, Boston merchant and econo- mist, has announced his withdrawal from the United States Chamber of Commerce. In an 'open letter" to the chamber he said that it merely assembled membership opinions, in- stead of facts, in attacking business problems.
 He said he had failed in effort after effort" to have the chamber re-study itself to increase it's ef- fectiveness.
 Describing it as unable to cope with the depression's emergencies, MT. Filene said that the chamber had neither the facilities nor the will'' to make long-term plan for industrial prosperity, which he felt would come only through increas- ing mass buying power with high CT wages.
 In his letter MT. Filene said:
 AS plainly as I can state my po- sition, I have at last been forced to the conclusion that the United States Chamber of Commerce. as at present organized, is not an or ganization of business but rather an organization of business men = meeting not to study business in a business way, nor even to find out what the needs of business in gen. eral may be, but either to promote the special views of certain prom inent people in the business world, or at best to discover and express the fixed opinion of the member ship concerning matters which. in the most successful modern busi- ness organizations, would be re- ferred as a matter of course to fact finding research"
 Chamber Held Inadequate
 He said that he was convinced that the chambers course was not adequate to serve the needs of busi- ness generally, nor could 1t serve the needs of the average member.
 Modern business problems, gen. eral or special, cannot be solved by adding up the opinions, either
