AUSTRALIANS NEW DEAL

The Commonwealth Of Australia is federation
of six states the federal government operating
under a Constitute quite similar to that of the
United States in which all power not delegated to
the central government is reserved to the states
Last week the people of Australia went to the polls
FOR the purpose of determining whether they would
or wouldn't amend their Constitution in two par
ticulars.
The action was of direct interest in this country
because it came about after this manner: The GEN.
trail government desired to exercise supervision
over the marketing of one of the country's chief
products-dried fruit. It's purpose was to aid the
farmer by fixing the prices of his fruit on the do
nestle market, selling the remainder abroad. It
also desired to regulate airplane traffic in inter
state commerce. The implication is made clearer
IN the country when it is explained that the Aus
tralian federal government has not been granted
| authority over interstate commerce. which power
is reserved to the states.
At any rate, the necessary laws were passed. A
citizen objected and brought action in the courts
to have them declared unconstitutional The high
court, of Australia, evidently under governmental
compulsion, accepted the New Dealish statutes as
conforming to the fundamental law. They were ap
4 peaed to the Supreme Court the Privy Council in
London, which reversed the Australian court The
! measures were then presented to the people For
Constitutional amendment by referendum. The
anne ndmsnts were defeated decsively. ,1>SNN
All of which, so far as this country is concerned,
is-an instance of central governments being too
4 anxious to make basic changes which the people
\ were not readyto grant. Mr.. Roosevelt might have
look at Austraiia.-Charlotte News.

WASHINGTON - Aspirants for
" presidential nomination m
1910 are entirely relieved by
RooSevelt's assurances that he
looks forward to retiring to pri-
vate life on Jan. 20, l94l.
They won't be entirely happy
until the president gives them a
signed affidavit, couched in SOL
emn language, officially sealed and
riveted on the White House front
door.
Roosevelt said at the Democratic
"Victory Dinner" here:
"My great ambition or Jan. 20,
1871, is to turn over this desk and
chair in the White House to my
successor, whoever he may be -"
But there are those who predict
that when the time comes, the
president may feel himself unable
to realize that "great ambition"
They fear-perhaps in some cases,
pretend to fear-that he will feel
the country needs him desper-
ately. And so they're whispering
that his statement is comparable
to the rather enigmatic remark of
Calvin Coolidge: II do NOT, choose
TO run"
There seems to be no sound ba-
sis for supposing at this time that
F.lD. R. has any Thought Oh seek

Presidential intimates scott at the
thought. Some already are busy
specializing as to Roosevelt's 1910
successor, if not actually laying
unobtruSive groundwork for GER
tain candidates. They say there
isn't any more reason for Suppos-
ing Roosevelt harbors third-term
ambitions than there is for paying
serious attention TO suggestions
Mrs. Roosevelt might succeed him.
Mrs. Roosevelt herself branded
that last idea as "idiotic." The

SPEAKING Of what must seem
- to most folks like squirrel-cage
economies:
Men are digging frantically
down into the ground for gold.
Last year The total gold produc-
ton was 4,329,273 ounces, an in
crease of II per cent over 1885.
The Treasury paid S35 an ounce
for this gold. But then, all it did
was to bury the yellow metal in
the ground again-some 80 or 10
feet down in its vaults at Fort
Knox, Ky.
Joe DAVIES was about the only
y conspicuous Democratic lobby
ist who didn't serve on the COM
mittee sponsoring the Sl00-a-plate
Victory Dinner. Joe Tumulty,
Woodrow Wilson'S wartime secre-
tary, who has made considerable
wealth lawyering and lobbying
here, was chairman and toastmas-
ter. He sat, right next to Roose-
welt. Power companies, lobbying
against Roosevelt's pet holding
company bill, hired Tumulty Isad
paid HIN $33, 900 in a Gngle year.
Others among the 80 hosts on the
Victory committee included Ar
thur Mullen Of Nebraska, J. Bruce
Kremer Of Montana, and O., Max
Gardner of North Carolina! All
three worked for utility companies
opposing the holding company
measure. All were members of
the Democratic national committee
before Roosevelt decided such
posts were incompatible with their
activities. Other lobbyists on the
dinner committee included Donald
Richberg, former Assistant Attor-
ney General William Stanley,
Swager Sherley and Brice Clag-
gett, son-in-law of Senator Nc

subject to irrational spells since the
death of his own daughter eight
years ago, today led police to the
body of Evelyn Mack, 10, hidden in
clump of weeds on the outskirts

Jacobs, a friend of long standing

crushed the child's skull with an
auto crank yielding to an impulse
he couldn't explain.
Jacobs said he killed the child be-

permission of her mother, who is
seriously i'll, to take Evelyn to a
nearby grocery.
He said he drove all night long
while the search for the missing
child grew in intensity. Jacobs is
the father of three children. His
daughter would have been the same
age as Evelyn.

Bristol Bay area.
He said the dispute must be set
tied by the State Department since
the Bureau of Fisheries lacks the

He declared the japanese told us
year ago that they wanted to do
some experimental fishing in the
North to determine whether it would
be commercially practicable.
It's very possible our Japanese
friends have been chiseling on this
experimenting business" he ASSERT
ed.
The experiments will be finished
next year and after tnat, if they
decide to fish. outside of she three

partment will make some provis-
ions to protect American rights"
Bell said.
He declared that the Japanese are
not fishing in Alaska Territorial

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31--Assis-

tiun the prohibition of shooting on
or near roads and trails in the vicin-
ity of Juneau as precaution
against accidents. Berry pickers
complained in recent weeks that
hunters were shooting too close.
The proposal of closing roads to
discharge of firearms was made by
the Forest Service here several weeks
ago following complaints of persons
picking berries and picnicking along
the highway. Trails, however, were
not contained in the original pro-
posal and Assistant Regional Fores-
ter Wellman Holbrook said today II
was not the intention TO close trails
to shooting.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3f.-Sena-

United States should not permit
itself to be drawn into any contro-
versy. He said if the cash-and-carry
features of the neutrality act were
applied to the conflict 1t would be
altogether favorable TO Japan"
The former chairman of the Sem
ate foreign relations committee con-
tended the cash-and-carry provis-
ion was impractical because it favors
countries with big navies. The pro-
vision requires warning nations TO
pay cash for any war materials
bought in the United States and
must transport them at their own
risk.
