root of unemployment, which is
still the major problem confronting
the country" and continued:
"Most of the recent increase in
the public debt has resulted from
emergency expenditures which will
be reduced as the need diminishes.
At this date the evidences of need
are still manifest"
Saying the public debt 'has con-
tinued to mount rapidly, notwith-
standing the substantial increase in
the national revenues" the report
added:
Future business prospects are in
a degree conditioned upon the pos
sibility of bringing expenditures
more in line with receipts and thus
eliminating, partially at least, the
uncertainties prevailing in connec-
ton with future taxation and other
budgetary problems.
AS to. 'the part played in the re-
covery to date by the heavy govern
ment expenditures" the report said {:
'"This question j not easily an
swered, but it is certain that such
OUTLAWS have had an influence
in many directions - for example,
on retail sales, on farm income, on
the growth of bank deposits and on
the prevailing level of interest
rates."
The latter statements may well
be compared with the report of
Alfred P. Sloan, president of Gen.
eral Motors, to the stockholders,

world - in which the United States
has participated - is being gen.
Grated by a combination of various

principal influences. Only one Of
these, he points out, has its roots
in the New Deal financial schemes
and he finds that particular influ'
ence a bad one because it creates
a temporary FOOLS paradise ir
which sales and earnings are bal,
looned by extraordinary govern
ment expenditures.
Asserting that political extrava
gance has created highly unde
sirable and artificial stimulus, Mr.
Sloan urges that such spending be
halted before it is too late to stave
off disaster.

man. They decided to establish
headquarters at once in st. Louis
and to set up an organization in
every state. Then they gave out
a 1900 word declaration or plat
form in which they declared they
will not support for reelection the
candidates of the Philadelphia con-
Vention for President and vice presi-
dent, and we call upon all 10y
al and sincere Democrats to con-
slider the question of their duty to
their country in the approaching
election with the same earnestness
that has guided our declarations
joining with us if they feel that our
conclusions are sound and our anx-
iety for the future of our party
and our country is justified"
The name of Governor Landon
was not mentioned in the declara-
ton, but a number of its signers
are openly supporting the Republi-
can candidate. Among these are
Joseph B. Ely, Col. Henry Breckin-
ridge, John Henry Kirby of Texas
and Robert S. Bright of Maryland.
However, the avowed prime OBJ
jective of the Jeffersonians is the
defeat of President Roosevelt and
the restoration of the Democratic
party to its status before the New
Dealers captured it. Their declara-
ton is unsparing in its denunciation
of Mr.. Roosevelt's course and the
policies of his administration.

Fierce Fighting in the
Spanish Civil War

DESPERATE fighting for posses
- sion of the passes In the
Guadarrama mountains north OF
Madrid was going on between the
government forces and the rebel
troops. Loyalist soldiers were hur-
ried to that region, and Madrid
claimed some victories. However,
the Fascists on the northern side
of the range were said to be within
sight of the capital and in position
for a vigorous advance.
The rebels scored in the south by
landing 1000 Moroccan troops from
Ceuta after a lively sea and air
fight in which two loyalist warships
were driven off. The loyalists were
also reported to have met defeat
near Avila, losing 600 men and
some tanks and trucks.
On the twentieth day of the re-
bellion the government announced
it had captured the provinces OF
Catalonia, Valencia, Murcia, Mala-
ga, Ciudad Real, Guadalajara,
Badajoz and the northern resort
city of San Sebastian.

Seubert of Chicago, president of
the Standard Oil Company of Indi-
ana; Henry M. Dawes of Evanston,
H., president of the Pure Oil COM
pany, and many officials of Stand
ard Oil, Pure Oil, Deep Rock, So
cony-Vacuum and various other oil
concerns and their subsidiaries. AL
so in the list are Warren c. Plat
of Cleveland, publisher of the Ma
tional Petroleum News and Platt's
Oilgram; his two publications and
the Chicago Journal of Commerce.
The indictment charged that the
defendant oil companies formed
pools in the east Texas and mid
continent fields for the purpose of
purchasing gasoline at artifcially
high prices from independent pro-
ducers, and in furtherance of such
a scheme were members of associ-
atoms which included the indepen-
dents. Further it was charged that
independent refners to aid the
plan, had curtailed their production
of gasoline.
This, said Mr.. Plat, is exactly
what the oil companies did with the
approval of Secretary of the Interi-
or Harold l.. Ickes, administrator
of the NRA petroleum code, when
efforts were being made to limit the
production of gasoline, prevent the
flow of excess quota oil into mar
ket channels, and raise prices in
that turbulent industry.
''The governments charge turns
on whether practice legally start
ed and carried on under the recent
NRA petroleum code was continued
in illegal manner after the MIRA
was killed by the United States SUI
preme court" Mr.. Plat said.

Bar Association Split on
New Deal Legislation

WHE the American Bar as
w ISOLATION conveneS in Boston
soon it will receive two widely diff
fering reports from special COM
mittee named to study the effects
of New Deal legislation on the
rights and liberties of citizens. They
were made public in Washington.
The majority report, signed by
John D. Clark, Cheyenne, Wyo.;
Fred H. Davis, Tallahassee, Fla;
George L. BUST, Charleston, S. c.,
and Charles P. Taft H., Cincinnati,
Ohio, "deplored" the action of
President Roosevelt in reducing
congress to a rubber stamp" body
to carry through his program of
legislation.
Novel legislative and govern
mental trends of the New Deal are
just as uncertain today as they
were two years ago." the report
said. Laws specifically proposed
as emergency measures with limit
ed life have been declared by inn
portant members of the administra-
ton to be the beginning of perma-
nent changes in national policy.
There has been a continuing
conflict between such officials as to
whether a new social and economic
order is in the making or the old
institutions are being perfected so
that they may be preserved"
These findings were challenged
by Kenneth Wynne, New Haven,
Conn; Fred L. Williams, st. Louis,
Mo-, and James C. McGowen of
jackson, Miss. In their minority
report they said: eff the purpose
of the resolution creating the spe-
cial committee was to get the opin-
ion of the American Bar association
regarding legislative trends de-
signed to meet changing economic
conditions, the report is superficial.
o 1t does not deal with the problem
but concerns itself with a short
range attack on surface trivial
ties"
The sharp divergence between
the two reports presages a conflict
and heated discussion at the as
sociation meeting.

President Resents Charge
of Politics in Relief

RESIDENT ROOSEVELT was
1 visibly aroused by Republican
charges that the New Dealers were
seeking to reap political profit from
the drouth conditions. At his press
conference he broke with the usual
rule by permitting himself to be
directly quoted as saying:
''It is a great disservice to the
proper administratio of any gov
eminent to link up human misery
with partisan politics.
The President announced that he
would hold series of regional con-
ferences with governors of states
in the drputh area, and naturally
Governor Landon, his Republican
opponent, will be among those he
will meet. It was believed they
would come together about Labor
day in Des Moines, with the gov
errors of Iowa, Nebraska, Oklaho-
ma and Missouri. Mr.. Landon
said he would accept the Pres
ident's invitation to such confer
ence.

This development, combined with

Department that possible farm sur

next year was taken as an indica-

were lukewarm in their discussions
of this, RELOCATING it to ad istinctly

Notwithstanding the big stake in

went to these states and gave them
such speaking as won the applause
of everybody. Two North Carolinians
who have been attacked for lacking
sympathy with the New Deal showed
up big in that campaign and both
were governors. One was Max Gard
