York bank, came here in hope of see
ing the Governor.
Small has q theory that Haupt-
mann could not have written the
ransom notes because Of his method
Of penmanship. Neither Isidor Fisch
from whom Hauptmann claims he re-
ceived ransom money, nor DR.. John
F. Condor, the ransom Intermediary,
wrote the notes, in Small's opinion.
Small says he offered his services to
the defense at Pennington, but they
were not accepted. He has talked
previously with the Governor. His
theories were set before the Court Of
Pardons. Whether the defense would
claim that his views would constitute
new evidence warranting another
trial remained to be seen.
Eleventh Hour Action May Come.
There was a growing belief that the
Governor, If he exercised his power
of reprieve at all, would wait until
the last minute in the hope that
Hauptmann might break" before he
started his short walk to the chair.
There was no indication, however,
that the Governor saw possibility Of
such development in Hauptmann's
statement to his wife yesterday that
he would "be glad to see any one any
time and answer any questions or tell
anything they might want to know
that might have neglected to say"
Mrs. Hauptmann pointed out that
this did not imply her husband had
any new story to tell, but rather that
he might have overlooked some point
IN his previous questioning.
Reiterates Innocence.
In his statement about answering
questions, Hauptmann reiterated his
innocence.
Attorney General David r. wilentz,
who prosecuted Hauptmann for the
Lindbergh baby kidnap-slaying, said
in his summation at the Pennington
trial year ago..
He will be thawed out. He Is cold
yes. he will be thawed out. When he
hears that switch-that,s the time he
will talk!"
Hauptmann's only hope to escape
execution, in the view of Ellis Parker
Burlington County detective and friend
Of the Governor, is the finding Of the
Lindbergh baby alive"
Parker, who has been interested In
the case but not officially associated
with the investigation, never has been
satisfied with the identification Of the
body found In q shallow grave near
the Hopewell home of the Lindberghs
Gov. Hoffman did not appear at his
omce yesterday. It was reported he
was conferring on the Hauptmann
case, but this lacked confirmation. On.

Inadvertent issuance TO the press
by the committee yesterday afternoon
Of q confidential letter which Presi-

on August 81, 1915. enlivened an
otherwise dull session yesterday.
In the letter Wilson spoke dis
paragingly Of the German Ambas-
sador, Count Won 3ernstron, and
charged Germany With seeking to
make the United States her cats
paw" In battle for trade.
The letter follows:
Dearest Friend:
II have your letter Of the 30th Of
August, inclosing copies of letters
from Sir Edward Grey and Bern
seorff.
"Of course, our reply to Germany's
overtures of conciliation will have to
depend . great deal upon the terms
in which they are actually made.
Bernstorff has only stated the prin-
ciple which will be accepted, and you
know I trust neither his accuracy nor
his sincerity. But 1t certainly does
look as If a way were opened out of
our difficulties, so far as Germany Is
concerned.
Affects Relations with England.
"That makes only more perplexing
our questions as to how to deal with
England. for apparently We have no
choice now but to demand that she
respect our rights q good deal better
than she has been doing.
Shall we insist that she open the
door to neutral trade. to Rotterdam
and Scandinavia, for example, which
she is right in believing is in effect
trade with Germany? Bernstorn is
now demanding of us in note to his
government that we insist on Ger
many getting our cotton for the use
of her civilian population
Germany has at last come to her
senses and is playing intelligent poll
tics. She Is seeking to put US In q
position where we shall have to play
to some extent the role of cats paw
in opening trade to her"
Acting Chairman Barbour sought
to withdraw the letter, but learned it
already had been sent over the wires.

Farm Policy Scored

Farmers of eastern states well as those of the
central west, resentful of the governments agr
cultural policy which has taken 80 million American
out of production while products of Is million
foreign have been imported to compete with
farmers
The foregoing is the substance of recent state
ment by Stanley F. Morse, executive vice president
of the Farmers Independence Council of America,
made after extended trip through the east
Most farmers feel that they have been betrayed
to the great benefit of foreign producers he said
land they alarmed over the unprecedented in
flow of foreign feeds and foodstuffs"
Mr.. Morse's organization, with headquarters in
Chicago, has been frankly critical of what has come
to be known "the policy of planned scarcity and
has vigorously opposed the control of agriculture by
bureaucrats in Washington.
The American farmer it is commended, is entitled
to the full benefit of the American market for his
products. That he is not enjoying that benefit is
proved by the enormous quantities of foreign agricul
tural products being forced to import. This

years, and yet they nowhere bad they
were in 1884. These facts will be proven by in
spection OF the various exhibits at the festival OF

Book Reviews
Drama
BY Eloise Ebert

Drama
The drama is a particular kind
of story presentation. AS in all
other forms of literature the sub
ject is concerned with sor:le hum
an experience which is revealed to
us in the most direct way possible.
The dramatist cannot explain hui
man beings, or analyze thent but
he must create understanding
through the use of the spoken word
with the minimum amount of clue
idation by a third person. The sue
cessful dramatist is one who can
achieve an immediate and spontan-
eous response from the audience.
Drama reveals characters in ac-
ton. A playwright may often
create in an act or a scene as vivid
and living person as a novelist is
able to in several hundred pages.
1t is the combination of seeing,
hearing and feeling which make a
play an experience which often
leaves a permanent effect, whether
it be comedy or tragedy.
Yet what about the reading of
| plays? Are the impressions as real
or as lasting? Perhaps not, yet
there is a force, a movement and
a sense of action which other forms
of literature cannot rival. Too Of
! ten our only experience in the read.

ing Of drama has been confined to
Shakespeare or Ibsen, yet they are
to be studied and not merely read.
The contemporary plays are anus
ing, entertaining and satisfying,
Why not try them and see.
BARRETTS OF WIMPOLE
STREET by Rudolf Besier. The
famous love affair of Elizabeth
Barrett and Robert Browning. The
play is true to facts and yet re-
tains the essence and charm of the
real relationship.
BEST PLAYS OF 1933-1934, by
Burns Mantle. This annual collec-
ton contains the most popular
plays of the season with survey
of the season in New York and
Chicago. This volume contains:
Mary of Scotland, Men in White.
All, Wilderness, Dodsworth and
others. Mr.. Mantle's remarks about
the stage are always enlightening.
OF THEE I SING by George
Kaufman. A ludicrous musical COM
edy which satirizes national CAM
paign methods and policies with
Love" as the chief issue. Especial
ly appropriate at this time.
PETRIFTED FOREST by r. E.
Sherwood. The "petrified" forest
refers to an actual forest and to
several of the characters. 1t has
more philosophy than action, and
is a good play to be read for the
ideas contained in il.
THREE MEN ON A HORSE by
j. C. Holm. A hilarious comedy in
which Erwin, who writes verses for
a living and picks winning race
horses as a hobby, falls into the
hands of race track followers who
hold him captive and try to win on
his hobby.

Just A Smoke Screen

A
Senator Benson has been scream
ing throughout the state that the
Republican party is committed to
sales tax, and he warns against
adopting the amendment for TAX
ing taxes off real property. Where
does he get the proof that the Re
publican party favors sales tax?
No party platform in this state
thus far has endorsed the sales tax
idea. The Republican candidate for
governor declares that he cannot
consistently say what new taxes he
will favor until he knows how
much new revenue will be needed.
If the proposed realty amendment
does not carry land the Farmer
Laborites declare that it cannot)
then there will not have to be a
replacement tax. If the amendment
does carry, the legislature must de-
terrine which is the best way to
secure additional taxes. Thus far
only one prominent tax authority
has declared a sales tax inevitable
in the near future George Wallace,
Of our state Tax Commission, Is
the expert on taxation for the Far
mer-Labor party. He says he does
not see how a sales tax can much
longer be put off Now If Sales
Tax is so terribly ubiquitous that
the Farmer-Labor paper must de-
nounce it as special relief for the
rich, what should be said of the
fact that leading Farmer-Labor
tax authority believes such a tax
inevitable, whereas neither of the
old parties has thus far been COM
mitted to the sales tax idea by it's
platform.-The Murray County
Herald.
From Sank Centre To London
A great security exchange is a
truly international market place
Recently a we'll known financial
expert took a group of orders
handled through the New York
Stock Exchange and traced them to
their sources. Less than one-half
OF them came from residents of
New York City. Some Of them came
from the Pacific Coast, some from
the Southland a number came
from foreign countries.
The more or less common misap-
presension that the stock exchange
serves only an ominous group
known as ''Wall Streeters" should
be exploded. The exchange serves
people in Sank Centre and San
Francisco, bonneville and London.
No one can control the prices at
which securities are traded-the
law of supply anu demand does
that. And the exchange manage
ment has established inflexible
rules demanding the highest stand
ards of integrity on the part Of
traders.
The value of such an institution
is inestimable. 1t is vital element
in our vast industrial organism.

ern business would stop.-Industrial
