'ENTRENCHED GREED
RESENTED BY SIBLEY
President of U. S. Chamber of
Commerce Says Thrust at
Business Unfair.
BY the Associated Press.


ROCHESTER, N. Y, January A.
Harper Sibley, Rochester capitalist and
president of the United States Cham
Der Of Commerce, said today that while
sympathetic" with the neutrality
statements in President Roosevelt's
address to Congress he felt the castiga-
ton Of business as "entrenched greed"
was decidedly unfair and unrea-'
sonable"
Business men generally have worked
for the welfare of the country and
they should not be attacked because
they are not unanimously in favor of
all the measures of the New Deal.
Some Of the New Deal measures we're
emergency measures and justified, but
most of them should certainly not be
made permanent" said Mr.. Sibley.
Il think the most unfortunate thing
about the Presidents speech is that
it was so decidedly political. 1t was
certainly not statesmanlike address.
Political speeches have their place, but
1t is not on the occasion of the Presi-
dents address TO Congress on the
state of the Nation.
The President called upon the
Congress to protect the Nation against
foreign and business autocrats. Busi-
nessmen of the Nation are protesting
vigorously against the growing autoc-
racy in Government"

proper committee. The Senate
committee reports it out, the Sen
ators debate it and return it to the
House either with or without
amendments.
The House again considers the
bill with the Senate amendments, if
any, and sends it to conference for
a settlement of differences between
the two houses.
If the conferees agree and the
two houses concur in their agree
ment, the bill is enrolled on parch-
ment, examined by the Committee
on Enrolled Bills and signed by the
Speaker and Vice President.
1t is sent then to the White House
for either the Presidents approval
or veto. If vetoed, a two thirds
vote of each house is necessary for
ultimate passage.
When approved by the President,
the bill is deposited with the Sec
retary of State. When the two
houses have passed bill notwith-

the presiding officer of the house
which acts on it last transmits 1t to

10000 KHOWan Loss

BY the Associated STeSS.
NEW YORK, January 4.-The Con-
solidated Gas Co. announced today
that during the hour President Roose-
welt spoke over the radio last night its
load charts showed comparative
drop in electricity.
An official of the company comment
ing on the volunteered statement said
it was possible to assume the loss
of 10000 kilowatts as compared with
the same hour the night before was
caused by people turning of their
radios when the President started to
speak.
No comparison was made with the
same hour the same night last week.
The New York Telephone Co., on
the other hand. said there was a de-
crease of from 25 to 40 per cent in the
number of telephone calls made dur
ing the Roosevelt broadcast.
The New York World Telegram in
quoting F. W. Crone. publicity director
of the Consolidated Gas, said that it
asked:
Gould it have been that people
turned the lights out in their bed
rooms and kitchens and went to the
hearth to hear the broadcast"
"Oh, no, nothing like that" the
paper said he replied. If all those
lights were turned off, the load charts
would have told different story"

which will stick like burrs in public

his policies attacked without vieor-

President Roosevelt gave the most

This speech was both rich in human

Bit by bit he took up each Of his

HAPPY JACK CAUGHT GL1MPSES
OF CHATTERER RUNNING BACK
AND FORTH
reason or other. I wonder why. I
wonder if Spooky bothered him SO
much there that he finally gave it up.
and I wonder why Spooky wanted to
leave his former home. Now I think
of it, that tree is right over near
where Chatterer was at work yester-
day. I wonder if it can be that he's
living in Spooky's old home"
Now, Happy Jack is just like most
folks in that once his curiosity is
aroused, he must try to satisfy it. So
back he went to where he had seen
his cousin. Chatterer, the day before.
However, this time he didn't ap-
proach openly. In fact, he was very
cautious. He kept sharp watch for
Cousin Chatterer. He climbed tree
and clung to the trunk, flattening
himself against it. From that point
he could see all that went on for a
considerable distance around. He
could see the tree in which Spooky
had lived for so long. In fact. he
could see the round doorway which
was the entrance to that old home of
Spooky's.
Happy Jack caught glimpses of
Chatterer running back and forth. He
knew what Chatterer was doing. Chat
terer was storing away nuts and
acorns in his own private store
houses. He was very clever about it.
Watch as closely as he could, Happy
Jack never could see just where Chat
terer left one of those nuts. OF one
thing, however, he was certain, and
that was that none of them were put
in that hole which used to be Spooky's
home. In fact, for a long, long time
Chatterer did not go anywhere near
that hole. In fact, he didn't go into
that tree at all. Happy Jack was
pretty near losing patience and CIV
ing up his spying as a bad job, when
Chatterer leaped across from an ad-
Joining tree to the one where the hole
was. There he sat for quite while.
The fact is, Chatterer was resting. He
had worked so hard that he was tired.
Happy Jacks eyes sparkled with ex-
element as he watched. He felt he
was on the edge of a discovery. He
had made one discovery the day be-
fore, when he had found where
Spooky the Screech Owl was living He
felt that now he was on the edge OF
another discovery. He could afford to
be patient.
Happy Jack gave vent to little
sigh of satisfaction. Chatterer had
just disappeared in that hole. SO
that's it," said Happy Jack to himself.
"Chatterer is living there. know 1t
by the way he acted. That isn't one
of his store houses; it is his home.
But that's q funny thing. There is
Spooky living in Cousin Chatterer's
old home, and here is Chatterer liv-
ing Spooky's old home. I wonder
how that happened. 1t is no use for
me to ask Chatterer: he wouldn't tell
me- 1t certainly is queer. Yes. sir, 1t
certainly is queer. Well, guess while
Chatterer is inside there I'd better be
busy and harvest a few nuts while I
can do so without being bothered. He
is a pest, is that relocated cousin OF
mine Never in my life have I seen
such a noisy, selfish, quarrelsome fel-
low"
Happy Jack started to 60 down to |
the ground. Just then Chatterer |
poked his head outside and saw Happy |
Jack. Out came Chatterer in hurry |
and drove Happy Jack away.
