est Pronouncement
WOULD SAFEGUARD
ADMINISTRATION PLAN

WASHINGTON. June 3. (UP).
Proposed constitutional reform
today moved closer as campaign
issue as the result of President
Roosevelt's caustic comment on
the recent United, States supreme
courts decisions outlawing New
Deal legislation. @
The latest White House COM
ment bore specifically on the rul-
ing which held New York states
minimum wage law unconstitu-
tional. 1t was believed that this
decision would also wipe out SINH
lar minimum wage legal provisions
in II states.
This minimum wage decision,
handed down Monday was de-
scribed by the chief executive as
creating a emo mans land" in
which neither federal or state
governments can function for the
coming year.
After the supreme court scrap
ped the NRA,, the president term
ed that a return ''to the horse and
buggy days. - = Y VA
The presidents views are re-
garded as indicating a movement
looking tos'speeific methods to
safeguard the administrations So
cial and economic program. =.
Coupled with developments on
Capitol Hill, where the courts de-
cision likewise was denounced,
the presidents words were seen
as possibly foreshadowing politi-
cal developments during the COM
ing campaign which may affect
the court or its interpretations OF
the constitution.
Discussion at the capitol fared
in remarks by Rep. Hamilton
Fish, R., N. Y, and sponsor of the
of Senator William E.
Borah, R., Idaho, for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination.
Fish charged that the New York
law decision won ga million votes
for the Democratic party" and
told the house he would sponsor
constitutional amendment plank
in the Republican platform at the
party's convention next week.
Compared to his remarks about
the NRA decision, the presidents
comment at his press conference
was mild, but it was considered
more significant, uttered as it was
on the eve of the major party
conventions.
The president asserted that the
courts decisions were shaping to
the point where there seemed to
be an area where state and fed
eral government are equally pow
erless to-act to solve broad eco
nomic problems.
His reference was not new.
Critics of judicial deliberations
long have recognized that such an
area was being shaped. They have
described it as a "no mans land"
Their references, however, had
been to obscure cases.

CHINESE DISSENSION
FLARES INTO THE OPEN

Copyright, 1885, United Press
SHANGHAI, June 3. (UP).-
Dissension in the Kuomintang be-
cause of the conciliatory attitude
of the Marking government to-
wards the Japanese army, f1ared
into the open today when the
acknowledgements Southwest Poll
teal Council in Canton published
a manifesto urging Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek and his associates
in the central China regime to
adopt a stronger policy" towards
the Nipponese ,militarists.
Text of the manifesto was dis
tributed by the japanese Domei
News Agency which interpreted it
to mean that Canton has declared
war on Marking. Chinese officials
said this Interpretation was en-
tirely unwarranteG. They admit
ted, however, that resentment of
the Cantonese faction at recent
Japanese activities in North China
had added difficulties
to Markings relations with Can
ton.
Occidentals generally agreed
with the Chinese Interpretation.
One explanation of the south
west manifesto was that japanese
agents have promised
to Canton in a military
to seize the central
in Marking if the
Cantonese faction will agree to
recognize the independence Of
and grant Japan a
free hand in North China.
Persons close to the Cantonese
faction said that relations be-
tween Canton and Marking UNI
questionably have been gravely
strained and that anything may
happen" They had no confirma-
ton, however, of the Japanese
reports of a Canton-Nanking civil
war.
Meantime the japanese con-
.inued steady pressure in North
China in their efforts to gain con-
.rol of the Hopei-Chahar political
council, of which Gen. Sung Cheh-
yuan is chairman.
They demanded that the Brit
sh American Tobacco company
paw directly to it, instead of into
he central treasury at Nan
King, approximately $1O.0OO,OOO
4 month in cigaret taxes. The
3. A. T. refused and the council
,etaliated with an announcement
hat it might be forced to close
Ill the company's cigaret factories
n areas which it controls and pre-
rent all sales in North China of
3. A. T. products.
In Tientsin the public safety
bureau issued a public announce
nent absolving the japanese of
III blame in connection with the
ieathS of scores of coolies whose
bodies have been found floating
n the Hai-ho. The bureau said
hat rumors circulated by Nation
list students that the bodies were
hose Of laborers who had been
murdered by the japanese after
hey had completed the erection
If secret Notifications, was en-
irely untrue. The bodies were
described as those of Suicide mar
otto addicts."

lay GROUNDS
FOR COALITION
May Name Democrat as
Vice Presidential Can i,
didate, Said
CONSERVATIVE DEMOS
STRENGTH is SOUGHT
By LYLE e. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, June 3, (UP).-
Republican party leaders gather
ing for their national nominating
convention are planning to bid di-
rectly for conservative Demo-
cratic support in their campaign
year effort to GUST the New Deal
from the White House.
All factions of the COP. are
agreed upon that strategy. An in
fluential COP. group moved fur
ther with proposals that the Re-
publicans nominate a conservative
Democrat for vice-president,
Party leaders are divided on
that question but the United Press
learned that it probably would be
presented to the convention in
some form. The Republican New
York Herald-Tribune proposed
second place nomination Of
Democrat yesterday in an editor
ial suggesting four nominal men,
bers Of President Roosevelt's
party for that honor.
Chairman Henry P. Fletcher an
nounced that the national commit
tee or arrangements decided yes
terday to invite former. President
Herbert Hoover ito address the
convention.
81 don't know when Mr.. Hoover
can arrange to be here" Fletcher
said, "but his telegram | received
in Washington said he would try
to be here on the second day"
Fletcher said that the invitation
is not subject to approval by the
convention itself because 1--WE are
making arrangements here and ne
has been invited"
He revealed also that official
plans for a notification ceremony
in Cleveland stadium have been
dropped but that the successful
candidate will be free to come
here to address the convention.
The convention city was bloom
ing last night with bunting and
welcome flags. Presidential can
didates were present by proxy
with their managers established IN
hotel headquarters. First cheers
sounded in the Landon camp when
Connecticut dispatches reported j.
Henry Roraback, old guard ma
tional committeeman, headed for
the Kansan's band wagon. Rora-
back was quoted by the Hartford,
Conn.,, Courant, as saying that
the states 10 delegates would vote
for Landon.
Some persons Interpreted the
Roraback statement as the begin
ming of big eastern break toward
Landon which would assure his
nomination in the early ballots.
Roraback, Charles D. Hilles of
New York, and other eastern lead
ers have been counted among the
major obstacles to Landon's noml-
nation. A test of his strength
will begin today when the national
committee begins hearing contests
of 81 of the 1901 delegate seats.
Many of these contests are
straight-away disputes whether
uninstructed delegates shall be
given seats in preference to dele
gates pledged to Landon or favor
able to him. |
