STOCKHOLM, Sweden, = (FP)
The bright boy who rises to be
head of a great business has be-
come history in America, but ne
can still be found in Sweden.
Albin Johansson, the subject of
this interview, is one. At 30 ne
heads the enterprise in which ne
began at II as an errand boy
and it is no small business either.
Last year its turnover was in ex-
cess of $10O,OOO,0OO, and it hand
led nearly 80 per cent OF SWeden'S
retail grocery trade.
Johansson has made a big sue
cess in life by Swedish standards,
but he has not become richard
that is where the story of his
career makes an abrupt departure
from the stereotyped American
success story. Johansson's life and
the lives of thousands of capable
managers and executives have
been devoted to the upbuilding Of
Sweden's world-famous coopera-
tive movement.
AS president of X. F.-Kooper-
ativa Forbundet, the cooperative
wholesale society and central pro-
paganda organization-Joh anssOn
is No. l man in Sweden's cooper
alive movement. And with the
Swedish cooperatives probably the
most famous in the world, ne is
a figure known to millions of CO.
operators around the globe. Pres.
Roosevelt recently appointed a
commission to study the European
cooperative movement, and 10
hansson's office became their
early destination.
Johansson is an approachable
man, who keeps no secretary to
guard his door, cultivates no big
shot complex and states the CO.
operative case with straightfOr-
ward simplicity. He has the thrift
ty insticts Of his countrymen, alb
hors debt, thinks installment buy
ing is the most dangerous thing
in American life. and attributes
the success Of the Swedish coop
erative movement to its pay-as-
you-go policy with the resultant
freedom of control from bankers
and monoplists. He is lanky fl
CURE, with florid face, prominent
features, blue eyes, and thinning
hair. A talented executive, he
works for a very modest salary
Americans sometimes ask how tht
cooperatives can find capable exc
cutives or hold against the high.

'They are interested in the

Recesses Instead
Of adjournment

Congress Hopeless of
Finishing York Before
Party Conventions.

B. the Associated Press.
Hopes of adjourning Congress june
6 were virtually dead today. Most
leaders agreed there was so much
work left to be done on taxes that II
would be impossible to meet the ad-
journment deadline set some time ago
Leaders were talking seriously of q
series of recesses during the period oi
national conventions.
Speaker Byrns, in stating at his
press conference that he did not see
how Congress could adjourn by June
6, estimated the Senate would be 10
days with the tax bill and added:
Certainly the House will not accept
the revised tax legislation without
some study and consideration"
The Speaker said no definite plans
had been made in regard to the party
conventions The Republican con-
vention opens in Cleveland June 8,
and the Democrats meet at Phila-
delphia June %.
I'VE may take a series of three-day
recesses," Byrns said. although that
has not been definitely decided be-
cause unanimous consent must be OBJ
tanned for such action"
In addition to the tax bill impasse,
the 1855, ,000, 900 relief deficiency bill,
now being debated by the Senate, also
is threatened with some delay. Sena-
tor vandenberg of Michigan and other

sions Of that measure
Commodities included in the 1922

Aims at Speculation.
Chief among the broader powers
given the Commodity Futures Com
mission in the new bill Is one to fix
limits on futures trading in commodi-
ties to prevent excessive speculation.
No limitations. however, could be
placed on bona fide" hedging, which
the bill defines as the sale of futures
when actual commodities have been
purchased or the sale of commodities
when futures have been purchased.
Trade practices such as wash
sales" cross trades" and "accommo-
dation trades" would be prohibited,
as would bucketing orders.

Agriculture Secretary, who, with the
Commerce Secretary and Attorney

deal with individual violators of fu-
lures trading regulations.
The power to deal with contract
markets still would be reserved to the

Der of small violators the Agriculture

with them.

which the House must consider was
the addition Of potatoes to the list OF

IT suppose that's to be worked out
yet at Cleveland" he said.
Former Foe Of Landon.
Hamilton will offer for the presi-
Dental nomination the name of a
man who once helped defeat him for
Republican nomination for Governor
Of Kansas.
The tall. sandy-haired and youthful
former executive assistant to Henry
p. Fletcher, chairman of the Re

House of the State Legislature at SO,
its speaker at IS, candidate for
Governor at SO, State Republican
chairman at 80 and at 40 national
committeeman for Kansas.
In 1919, after returning from the

office.
A STRIPPING lawyer. he went to the
late David w. Mulvane, veteran
Kansas national committeeman. to
ask his support for probate Judge OF
Shawnee County. He was turned
down, not only by Mulvane. but by
70 of the Sc county committeeman.

split in the party.
Haucke, however, was nosed out by

crat. in the general election.
Hamilton set about to harmonic the
| divided party. In 1882, the Repub-
licans elected Landon Governor. al.
though Roosevelt and Garner swept
the State.
Hamilton stepped into the national
political picture in 1882 after the
death of Committeeman Mulvane
With Landon's aid, he was selected
as Mulvane's successor. Attending
his first meeting of the national COM
mittee in 1884, he was nominated for
the Craftsmanship, but was defeated
by Fletcher. However, he was chosen
general counsel for the committee and
became attached to the Washington
headquarters in May 1885.
Hamilton helped organize the Mid
western grass roots" Republican con-
vention at Springfield, Ill, in June,
1885.
He continued his work with the ma.
tional headquarters until March g.
this year, when he resigned as
