A section of the federal code

such bonds also from taxation by

Some
Reasons


sible to enumerate them. Never
theless, I shall try to set down some
of the more important ones that ap-
pear to have been operative. It
must be remembered that these
larger reasons embrace numerous
and sundry variations. Each of the
important reasons is made up of a
number of less important and less
significant and even less influential
reasons. Each of the larger and
each Of the smaller propositions had
it's effect.
I do not want to have it appear
that the order in which name these
various reasons has any signifi-
canoe. In fact, l think it would be
utterly foolish for anyone to attempt
to say that one particular reason
was more influential than another.

level not attained since the devalu-
alton of the pound in 1881. Com
modify prices average higher than
at any time since 1880 and indus
trial production is higher than at
any time in the last six years, the
survey continues.
Business is not unrnindful of the
weaknesses in the present situation.
These unfavorable conditions have
not been discounted so much as
they have been ignored and defed.
A comparison between the thriving
condition of business in the United
States and the disturbing develop
ments abroad furnishes an interest
ing contrast and constitutes a fair
measure of the forward surge now
taking place in the commerce and
industry in this country, Banking
asserts.
Increased mortgage lending, a
housing shortage, rising rents, high
err farm values and, in general, a
more active market for buildings
and land are reported by majorl-
ty of the bank realty officers whose
opinions on the real estate outlook
were requested by Banking in a
survey conducted in key cities
throughout the country.
More Navy Officers
The navy will reach its full
strength of officer personnel about
1941 at the present rate of gradual
ton of midshipmen from the Naval
academy, the Navy department
said. This is contingent on condi-
tions remaining as at present, Off
Gals added.
The service will need around 1000
new officers in addition to what it
will lose in the meantime through
deaths, designations and from other
causes, so the treaty navy will be
properly Differed when it attains it's
authorized strength by 1912, under
present plans of the administration
and congress. This growth in Off
Ger personnel will be in the Junior
grades, officials said, as rear adj
mirals and captains will not expert
ence any material alteration.
This increase in officer personnel
is required to keep pace with addi-
tional warships being constructed
under the Vinson-Trammel act,
which provides that by 1912 the
American navy will be up to al
lowances under existing treaties. 1t
also is made imperative by the re-
cent material increase in the num-
Der of enlisted men of the navy,
which is still continuing.
The authorized strength in officer
personals is 1881 line officers and
actually at the present time the
navy has around 5000 officers. Off
Gals anticipate that in 1941 some
500 lieutenants, who have not re-
ceived the required promotion 81
years after graduation, will be
dropped from the active list.
The enlisted strength of the navy
by July next will be 100000. The
average for this fiscal year is $4,000,
it was said. There have been indi-
cations that 5000 additional blue
jackets will be requested from con-
gress shortly so the new warships
may be properly manned.

SMITH FIRE IN
SPEECH HERE

Speaking extemporaneouSly,
without a syllable of prepared
manuscript, former Gov. Alfred E.
Smith will tear into the alleged
SocialiStic and CommuniStic influ-
ences within the Roosevelt admin
iStration in his address before the
American Liberty League here on
January rs, it became known yes
terday.
Smith will command one of the
greatest audiences in the history
of American politics.
Reservations made by members
of the league who will come here
from every section of the country
for the event have already eX.
hausted the capacity of the grand
ballroom of the MayfloWer Hotel,
where the former governor Will
speak at the close of the banquet.
Speaks in Same Spot
The former candidate of the
Democratic party for President will
deliver his speech in the same hall
and from the same rostrum where
President Roosevelt recently ut
tered his jackson Day dinner III.
timatum, in which he defied the
opponents of his policies without
and within the Democratic party.
From this hall, Mr.. Smiths
speech will be broadcast through
nh into nntUnrK
spreading over the entire country.
He is expected to have at least the
same facilities and even larger
audience than last heard the
President.
Off the Chest
Mr.. Smith has been urged by his
closest friends and well wiSherS
to write out his important speech
and to commit it to memory II
he is unwilling to read it from
manuscript into the microphoneS.
They anticipate it as the most ag-
gressiYe and devastating attack
that will be yet made upon the
policies of the Roosevelt admins
tration and they have been hope
full that he would avoid the pos
sibility of grave error that might
be made in an extemporaneouS
effort before a nationwide audi
ence.
Against these requests. Mr..
Smith has stood obdurately. He
has insisted upon his intention
to speak out of my heart and
off the chest" He is SAID to be
confident that his long experience
in the public arena and the &C
curacy and righteousness" of his
cause will carry him above the
hurdles of extemporaneouS speech
which even seasoned orators face
with miSgiVlngS.
Former Governor Smith, it IS
said. will accept the challenge
hurled by President Roosevelt.
1t is reported that he will flay
the Roosevelt administration as
being Socialistic, rather than
Democratic. 1t is understood that
he will declare the Administration
has been managed by incom-
petent, unSeasoned New Dealers,
whose strange experiments have
halted the recovery Of the nation
and deprived the working people
OF the opportunity for remunera-
tive employment.
