Between the two men stands
Senator Norris, friendly to both
and generally considered the faith
er of the IVA. After giving out
his recent statement DIR. Morgan
conferred with the Nebraskan
who pronounced his zone of the
greatest men in public life,"
whose "only concern is the public
interest" Senator Norris, while
processing the greatest respect for
DR.. Morgan personally, said that
while agreeing with most of his
policies, there were two things
he disagreed with. He thought
that the Government should buy
transmission lines and pay what
they are worth to avoid injury to-
private investments if this can be
avoided but the Senator thinks
that the last resort has been
reached becauee of the legal
fights instigated by the power
companies. The IVA has been
prevented from buying transmits
sion lines after entering into
agreements because of litigation
and so. according to the Nebras-
kan, the IVA has won the suit
but lost millions and the power
companies have lost the suit but,
through injunctions. have continu-
ed to sell electricity and make ex-
orbitant profits.

IF the driving Of automobiles
was restricted to drivers fit to

be reflected In a tremendous loss
of business to the manufacturers

your family, leave you to get what

conferees had receded on the man
datory cash and carry" provision in

Preserve our America in this its

Forty-sixth Continental Congress Of

"On the threshold of a new year,

The society's financial position is
healthy, Mrs. Becker said.
An unexpected, vigorous attack
from MessmoresKendall, president of

loud applause from the women who
packed the hall for the opening cere-

BERLIN, April 2O.-Chancellor Adolf
Hitler, hailed on his 48th birthday
anniversary by the massed might of
the German Army he recreated, was
believed today to be ready to join in

Foreign observers considered the
German Army finally had reached a
strength satisfactory to Der Fuehrer,
as demonstrated today by the greatest
military review ever staged in the
German capital.
They drew their conclusions from
two things:
Hitler's statement yesterday that
Germany would be very willing to
partake of a united effort to establish
mutual understanding between the ma
lions of the world" through confer
ence called by President Roosevelt or
the head of some other world power
The declaration Of DR.. Hjalmar
Schacht, economics minister, in Mum
ich that "Rearmament forced the gov
eminent to withdraw certain raw
products from consumption. but raw
material restriction has now passed

income and outgo for the fiscal year

81 appeal to you" he said to Con-
gress, Ito join me in a determined eff
fort to bring about that result"
The President frankly stated that
his budget estimates for the fiscal
years 1887 and 1888 had been thrown
out of killer by failure of tax re-
ceipts to reach the totals expected
His recommendation to Congress fol-
work relief appropriations for the
fiscal year 1888 was held at $780,
00,000-the amount which had been
forecast. The President, however
plans the most rigid economy in Gov
eminent expenditures and actual re-
auctions in the amounts appropriated
or estimated for various Government
agencies during the remainder Of the

Byrnes Seeks Deep Cut.
No sooner had the Presidents
message been read in the Senate than
a proposal was advanced by Senator
Byrnes of South Carolina, Democrat,
and frequently an administration
spokesman, that relief funds be cut
to ,000,000,000.
TT is my purpose" said Byrnes
ito urge that not more than $1,000
100000 be appropriated.
His proposal was advanced after
Senator McNary of Oregon, Repub-
lican leader had pledged the CO.
operation of Republicans in any ad-
ministration effort to keep down
Government expenditures
Il would like to know" added Sem
ator Byrnes, IF the Senator from
Oregon will 60 along with that" (the
reduction of the relief appropriation
to a billion dollars.
McNary replied that the message
had just been read and he had had
no chance to study it. He expressed
the opinion, however, that the coun-
try could get along with a billion
dollar relief appropriation.
McNary Pledges Aid.
The debate was started by Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic
leader, as soon as the reading of the
message had been concluded. He said
it was desirable and almost impera-
tive" that Government expenditures
be held down.
Some think that this relief ap-
preparation could be diminished"
said Robinson while others, includ-
ing some Governors and Mayors,
think it should be higher. The time
has come when persons inside and
outside the Government should do
all they can to improve the Govern
ment credit"
Senator McNary commended the
message, saying he believed he could
speak for all Republicans in pledging
aid in cutting Federal expenditures
