BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
On April IA, 1890, the CONNER

publics, torerunner OF the Pan
American Union, wds founded.
In May, 1880, at the suggestion
OF the Ambassador OF Brazil, it 1Cds

year as Pan-American day.
By proclamation OF President
HooUer the practice began in 1881
NTH display OF flags and appropri-
ate ceremonies
The contributions of democratic
government to maintenance of peace
were stressed by President Roosevelt
today in his Pan-American day ad-
dress before the Governing Board Of
the Pan-American Union.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared the 81 Amer
lean republics believe that the con-
tinued maintenance and improvement
of democracy constitute the most i'm
portant guarantee of international
peace"
His speech was delivered from the
same platform where four years ago
today he outlined the good neighbor"
policy of the United States toward
Latin American nations.
Leading the Nationwide observance
of Pan-American day, the President
recalled the Buenos Aires Inter-
American Conference for Maintenance
of Peace, which he attended in De-
cember and said one of its outstanding
lessons was the clear perception on
the part of the delegates of the close
relation existing between international
security and the normal development
of Democratic institutions
Democracy Challenged.
Democracy" said the President,
cannot thrive in an atmosphere of
international insecurity. Such insecur-
ity breeds militarism, reorganization
and the denial of freedom of speech,
of peaceful assemblage and of religion.
Such insecurity challenges the ideals of
democracy based on the free choice Of
government by the people themselves.
THE deepest impression which car
ried away Cfrom Buenos Aires) was
the potency of the unity of the Amer
icas in developing Democratic institu-
lions in the New World and by exam
pie in helping the cause of world
peace"
Mr.. Roosevelt was escorted into the
governing board room by his son,
James. Col. Edwin Watson and Capt.
Paul Bastedo, his military and naval
aides, respectively, also accompanied
him to the Union building.

of the governing board, presented the

HOUSING BILL D. X.
Labor Held Impatient of De-
lay on Four-Year Plan to
Spend ST, $50, 100000.
By the Associated Press.

d. bi4c hSooSidtSu IcSos
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, told a
Senate committee today labor is i'm
patient over the unnecessary delay
in adoption of Federal housing legis-
lation.
Green Endorsed the Wagner housing
bill and said the task before us is
so great, the ramifications of the prob
lem are so many that it clearly be-
comes the public duty of this Con-
greSS to act now"
He emphasized the word now
The Wagner bill would authorize
issuance of billion dollars of bonds
over a four-year period for construc-
ton loans to State and local housing
authorities. Fifty million dollars
would be appropriated over the same
period for operating subsidies. The
money would be used to provide hous-
ing for low-income families and for
slum clearance.
In a very real sense" Green tes-
tilted, this bill is labor's bill. 1t is
that because it is designed to serve
the wage-earners, upon whom falls
the heaviest burden of inadequate
housing in the United States.
The Wagner bill will enable us
to make modest beginning toward
the solution of one of our greatest
social and economic problems"
"On the basis of an estimate care
fully and conservatively made" he
added, I'VE know that the total addi-
tional dwellings needed between now
and 1850 to meet the minimum physi-
cal standards and maintain family
occupancy standards of 1880 will
amount to 1921 ,OOO."

1t Is apparent at this time that

be far greater than was anticipated
unless there is an immediate curtail-
ment of expenditures.
You will carefully examine the
status of appropriations for your &C
tivities with view to making a sub
stantial saving by eliminating or de-
ferring all expenditures which are not
absolutely necessary at this time"
Treasury officials said they did not
know how much could be Whitfield

could be effected.

TORONTO, April 14.-Prime Min
lister Mitchell Hepburn of Ontario to-
day demanded the designations of two
members of his cabinet who have been
out of sympathy with his fight to pre-
vent John L. Lewis unions from gain
ing foothold in Canada.
simultaneously, while flag-waving
strike pickets paraded at the Oshawa
General Motors of Canada plant to
show Hepburn they were mot Com
munists,' c. I. o. union Organizer
Hugh Thompson said a union official
in Detroit had told him General Mo-
tors workers in the United States
would "sit down again" if the company
shipped cars from the United States
to England to fill Oshawa orders.
Hepburn, in a letter he dictated to
Labor Minister David Croil and At
tornel General Arthur w. Roebuck,
told them they must step out to as
sure provincial government unity in a
great Canadian economic crisis"
He said he would not confer with
either minister pending their receipt
OF his request for their designations.
There can be no turning back as
far as 1 am concerned" said the pre-
mier after he had dictated the resig-

He had not decided on permanent
appointments to fill the vacated
portfolios. Temporarily he will ad-

Paul Leduc, minister of mines, as
acting attorney general.

MY Dear Colleague:
"It is with deep regret that I find
myself in position where it is neces-
sary to ask your resignation as a
member of the present administration
1t is quite clear to me and all con-
cerned that you are not in accord with
the policy of the government in fight
ing against the inroads of the Lewis
organization and Communism in gen.
eral
ITO my way of thinking, Ontario
faces one of the greatest economic
crises, and for that reason there must
be solidarity and unanimity within our
ranks.
"GrIeved" by Decision.
Needless to say, the decision I have
arrived at is one that is causing me
both grief and unhappiness, but am
determined to carry out the policy that
I believe to be in the best interests of
the people I was elected to serve.
Il deeply appreciate your loyalty up
to this point and shall always remem-
Der our close and intimate associations,
both in politics and in social way,
and am unhappy indeed that we have
arrived at the parting of the ways on
a matter of policy.
There is nothing personal in this
matter, and hope that in the future
I shall enjoy your friendship as have

Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina. said today the Supreme
Court decisions unfolding the Wagner
act proved that Congress undoubtedly
has the power to outlaw sit-down
strikes.
A House committee has approved, II
to 4, Senate resolution condemning
sit-downs, company unions and indus
trial espionage, but Byrnes said he was
considering stronger action.
The resolution on which the House
will vote next week would have no legal
effect.
The Southerner said he was unde-
cided whether to propose a special
amendment to the Wagner labor rela-
tons law that would forbid sit-down
strikes, or to wait for possible general
amendments
He will introduce labor spy"
amendment, he said, to the present
Byrnes law against importing strike
breakers across State lines. It would
prohibit the transportation of persons
into another State to obstruct labor
groups in collective bargaining.
Would Hit Trouble Makers.
Byrnes said it would cover the evil
complained of where men are brought
into plant ostensibly as workers, but
really for the purpose of getting into
unions and interfering with their &C
tivitieS"
Shutdown strikes may be discussed

kins. She said the subject would not

will be attended by the two rival

Lewis Committee for Industrial
Organization, whose members have
used the shutdown strike in some in

weapon, outlined new campaigns for

Green's Executive Council will meet
Monday to lay out membership
