WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. !HP)'
]. P. Morgan company handled "a
per cent of the war materials ex-
ported from this country to the
allies during the World war.
Senate munitions investigators
have disclosed that the famous
financial house acted as purchas-
ing agent for Great Britain and
France, receiving 100000 for
services. Morgan and his asso-
ciates appearing before commit
tee, emphasized their belief that
financial affairs didn't influence
the United States attitude toward
the conflict.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. (uP)
An. Anglo-Russian commission
acquired controlling stock in the
Eddystone Rifle factory, an Am
erican concern, while the United
States was still neutral during the
World War, it was developed late
yesterday at the Senate munitions
inquiry. an
Great Britain advanced $1O,-
100000 for the factory, the COM
mittee revealed.
This development came after a
lengthy day of questioning ). r.
Morgan and Thomas W. Lamont
in which it also was revealed that
Morgan on one occasion was pres
ent at a meeting of the British
War Council in the Prime Minis
ter's room of the House of Com
mons in London.
Morgan admitted attending the
conference. He told the commit
tee he recalled it particularly be-
cause the British Except changing
the subject" so frequently. The
conference concerned purchase of
rifles in the United States.
Members of the committee IN
Dictated they considered it highly
unusual for a belligerent govern
ment to own controlling stock and
advance money to a munitions
firm in a neutral country.
Earlier it was shown that a
threatened "strike" of American
arms manufacturers which would
have halted output of allied NUM-
tions in 1916 suddenly forced
Great Britain to revoke an order
cancelling a contract for 1900
900 rifles.

States regarding its blacklists OF

in the war. :,
"The State Department, "

The committee brought out that
the note arrived from Great Brit

election.

Main Address
HOLDS PROBLEMS
SAME AS JACKSON'S

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. (UP).
No doubt remained that the presi-
dent intends to lead forceful,
aggressive campaign to confirm
the New Deal in power at the
polls next November. Tor the
second time in less than a week
the president last night struck at
the enemies of his administration
with unequivocal epithet, and
singing analogy in his speech to
Jackson day diners which Off
cially opened the Democratic side
of the 1886 campaign. Roosevelt's
speech was analogical but his aud
fence to which had no difficulty
in following the parallels between
Andrew Jackson's administration
and his own was ritously cheered
and applauded him throughout.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. (UP)
President Roosevelt last night
sounded a ringing call of "no re-
treat" before the forces of reac-
ton and said he would continue to
wage war against special privi-
lege.
The president gave the keynote
of the presidential campaign in
an address to 1900 Democrats,
including virtually all the top
flight New Dealers, at a $5O-a-
plate dinner to honor the memory
of Andrew Jackson and raise mon
ey for the party.
Radio carried his words to some
1000 other similar dinners thru
out the nation and to millions Of
Americans in their homes.
The president defined the. in-
pending election campaign as a
fight for retention of popular gov
eminent and appealed to all citi.
zens for aid in spreading factual
information to combat IAN oppo-
sition bent on hiding and distort-
ing facts"
The president addressed some
1000 Democrats who paid 500
plate to attend the main dinner
of a nationwide celebration OF
Jackson day. BY radio his words
were carried to an estimated quar-
ter million party members attend
ing similar dinners in other cities,
and to millions of Americans m
their homes.
Whatever may be the plat
form, whoever may be the noml,
nee of the Democratic party-and
I am told that a convention is to
be held to decide these momen-
tous questions-the basic issue
will be the retention Of popular
qoyernment-an issue fraught
once more with the difficult prob,
lem of disseminating facts and
vet more facts, in the face Of an
opposition bent on hiding and dis
tortinp facts" Mr.. Roosevelt said.
The presidents only reference
to the sweeping setback ne sui
fered when the supreme court
killed the New Deal farm program
was toward the end of the speech
when he said:
"I know you will not be sur
prised by lack of comment on my

the supreme court two days ago:

without studying, with the utmost
care, two of the most momentous

The Rail Settlement.

Through the years rail management
and labor have had the happy faculty
of adjusting their differences without
resort to extreme measures. There have
been exceptions, it is true, but generally,
with grave issues to be met, those who
represented varying viewpoints have
spoken the same language, and that in
the end was the saving factor.
Once again is this happy relationship
evidenced in the historic agreement-for
it WAS an historic ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
at the White House yesterday. On the
one hand, labor realizes that to prosper,
in the face of bitter competition, the
railroads must economic, and that the
burden of any economy movement must
be borne principally by those on the pay
roll. At the same time. management,
or capital, or ownership, or whatever it
is called, acknowledges its obligation to
those victims of the march of progress
and shares with them. by the dismissal
wage principle and other allowances,
the weight of retrenchment.
Demagogues are the only casualties OF
such an agreement.

Democracy Should Be Made
Effective, Not Abandoned
To the Editor Of The Star:

Az INC GuitVL VI lHr CthI.
Some people think democracy Is too
ineffective, and we need a dictator.
Each one thinks a dictator would be
sure to do just what ought to be done
(being unhindereD, and SO he would be
sure to do just what such a person
wants done. But many such persons
would be fooled. dictator does what
he feels like, and would be just as apt
as not to do the opposite of what these
talking persons want.
Again. the dictator must do what his
financial hackers expect him to do.
Without their financial backing he cannot
get to be dictator. Aside from that.
a dictator cannot please everybody, any
more than can any one else.
So If we want to have any influence
on affairs and make the country really
better we better stay with democ-
racy, in which everybody has freedom
to think, freedom to speak and freedom
to act. Under democracy we do not
have to submit our thoughts to what
people in authority approve of.
People who wish to limit freedom. not
only of daily papers, but of any kind of
papers at ALL and any kind of orators,
cNSll HllSIdkcll OIlcS. are ali WEOIlS. OUCH
would-be limiters are not true Amer
leans, even though they do pretend they
are urging protection of Americanism.
They have gall to call it that. They are
opposing real traditional Americanism.
They are not devoted to the Constitu-
ton, because they are trying to nullify
the first nine amendments which are
the best part of the Constitution.
1t may be only too true that democ-
racy is not effective. The remedy is not
to change over to something that is
thoroughly bad. The right remedy is to
make democracy work better. We need
more patriotism-not flag worship but
devotion to the welfare of our fellow
countrymen; more loyalty to the laws,
more aspiration for justice and goodness.
Fellow countrymen, let us lift up our
hearts to God and ask his aid in main
tanning our freedom and in using our
freedom rightly. WILLIAM c. LEE.

Quite humble is his place.

of justice empowered to deal with con-
troversies affecting exclusively countries
on this side of the ocean. Just as the
league of neighbors would take the place
of the League of Nations in general inter-
American affairs, so the proposed tri-
bunal would succeed the World Court
as an arbiter of purely American dis
putes.
The draft agenda provide for full con-
sideration of the rights and duties Of
neutrals and beligerents. Stress Is laid
on the necessity Of limiting ornaments
to requirements of national defense, in
GLIDING both the internal security of the
American states and their safety against
foreign aggression. Trade interests re-
ceive exhaustive consideration. The
United States may be relied upon to urge
extension of the reciprocal tariff policy,
which has already resulted in agree
ments between ourselves and several
Latin American countries.
In presence of the League of Nations
recently demonstrated lnablllty eltner
to preserve peace or protect its own
members, the American nations have
timely cause to weigh the deSirability OF
creating regional institutions designed
to safeguard their special interests. Sue
cessive events have proved that the New
World has little to hope for at the hands
of the international body which revealed
its incapacity on every critical inter-
national occasion it had to meet. Present.
hour conditions in Europe and Asia
amply justify the expectation that the
western republics will determine that the
cause of inter American peace will be
far better served by league OF good
neighbors, united by interlocking COM
mon purposes. than by the trans-Atlan-
tic concern now engaged in a survey OF
its own wreckage.
