CLIO. Loses in Detroit

THE first important venture of
4 the c. I. o. in politics turned out
disastrously for the Lewis organiza-
ton. Patrick H. O'Brien, its may
orally candidate, declared on the
stump that ''labor must seize the
reins of government in Detroit and
every other American city" Where
upon the Detroit electors arose in
their wrath and swept O'Brien and
the C.. l. o. out of the picture. Rich
ard w. Reading, conservative cam
didate backed by the A. F. of L.,
won the office by a majority of 1861
GOT votes.
In addition, all the five C.. I. O.
backed candidates for the common
council were decisively whipped.
In New Jersey Senator A. Harry
Moore, Democrat, was elected gov
ernor over Lester H. Clee, Republi-
can, but only by virtue of a big ma
jority in Hudson county. Moore has
held the office twice before. 1t was
the first time in the states history
that governor has won third
term. The state constitution prohib-
it's a consecutive reelection but
Moore was elected in 1925 and again
in 1881, each time for a three-year
term.
James M. Curley, who has been
three times mayor of Boston and
once governor of Massachusetts,
tried again for the mayoralty, but
was defeated by Maurice j. Tobin,
like Curley a Democrat.
Philadelphia went Democratic, as
did Pittsburgh, which reelected
Mayor Cornelius Scully.

Farm Measure Ready

VOLUNTARY crop control for
wheat, corn, rice and cotton;
and compulsory limitation of tobac-
co production, are provided for IN
the new farm measure drafted by
the house committee on agriculture
for action in the extraordinary ses-
sion of congress.
Secretary Wallace's lever normal
granary" plan is included in the
bill. The measure also provides
for tariff equalizing taxes" which
would be actually a revival of the
processing taxes which the Supreme
court declared unconstitutional.
These taxes would be applied only
to wheat, cotton and rice-3 cents
a pound on cotton, 20 cents bushel
on wheat and ~ cent pound on
rice.
The policy of congress is declared
to be 10 maintain $50 far as prac-
ticable both parity of prices paid to
farmers for all agricultural COM
modities marketed by them for do
mestic consumption and export and
parity income for farmers market
ing such commodities"
Benefit payments would be made
only to producers taking part in the
general program, and would be
based on Cd the use of land, (2)
changes in the use of land, and 90
the percentage of normal produc-
ton going into domestic con-
sumption. Also no benefit payment
in excess of $4,000 would be paid
any one producer.
For the protection of consumers
the bill provides that when prices of
the respective commodities exceed
,7rity by 10 per cent the secretary
of agriculture shall call outstanding
commodity loans, thus releasing
stored commodities and in this way
preventing excessive prices.

York, piled up a majority of 454, 425.
The Republicans hailed the result
as great victory for their party,
and it was. But it also put the La
Dor party in the position of holding
the balance of power in future cleo
tons in the metropolis.
Second in interest only to the
mayoralty vote was the fact that
Thomas E. Dewey, the young man
who smashed organized crime and
the rackets in New York, was elect
ed district attorney, defeating Har-
old w. Hastings, the Tammany NOM
inee. Dewey, who is only thirty-fve
years old, promises reform in the
methods of the office, and his record
gives assurance these will be car
ried out.
The Republicans regained control
of the New York state assembly
and of many upstate cities.

a soft spot in its heart for the

house frock for her (above left) is
as neat and sweet as anyone could
wish. The collar in contrast and
the saw tooth edging piped to
match, make that difference be-
tween this dress and run-of-the-

all to launder. Better make two!

of the South American republics,
will adhere to the agreement.
Political observers saw the pros
pect of a world divided into three
camps - fascist, communist and
democratic.
Emerging as one of the probable
chief leaders of this united front is
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, German
ambassador to Great Britain. Hitler
sent him to Rome to sign the new
pact, and it is expected that the
headquarters of the alliance will be
in Berlin.
Officials in Rome stated the pact
was not directed against any coun-
try and said Russia might have all
the communism it wants so long as
she keeps it at home. But they in
timated the military forces of the
signatories were ready to back up
the agreement. Virginia Gayda, au-
thoritative commentator, said that
100000 tons of warships and 200,-
000,000 persons are now at the dis
posal of the anti-communist front.
In Berlin the mouthpiece of the
foreign office asserted the pact has
the backing of 200,000,0 900 people
"who are not prepared for any po-
litical reasons to allow the primary
necessity for fighting bolshevism to
drop into the background.
There was belief in European
capitals that there were secret mill
tary clauses in the agreement, and
this suspicion was intensified by
the fact that German warships
joined Italian warships in target
practice off the Italian naval base
of Gaeta.
One of the possible implications of

Duke May Come in February

MAYBE the duke and duchess of
A'A Windsor will come to the Unit
ed States after all. 1t was said in
Paris by one of their associates they
had decided tentatively to make the
trip in February, believing that
by that time they could carry out
their plan without criticism.
The sudden cancellation of the
trip was primarily due to the harsh
criticism of organized labor because
it was to be managed by Charles E.
Bedaux, whose speed-up system is
abhorrent to labor. That gentle
man promptly withdrew from the
tour arrangements and President
Green of the A. F. of L. thereupon
said American labor would "extend
a sincere and cordial welcome to the
duke and duchess and cooperate in
their proposed Investigations"
Should Edward and Wally come
over in February, perhaps Mrs.
Roosevelt will find it possible to
arrange her lecture dates so as to
be present at the luncheon the Pres
ident will give for the visitors.

Brussels Conference

FORMAL opening of the Far East
l peace conference in Brussels
brought out speeches by the chief
delegates of America, Britain,
France, Italy and Russia. Davis
for the United States denounced re-
sort to armed force as means of
settling international disputes, and
urged Japan and China to seek a
settlement of their conflict "by
peaceful processes.
He continued: eve believe that
cooperation between Japan and Chi
ma is essential to the best interests
of those two countries and to peace
throughout the world. We believe
that such cooperation must be de-
veloped by friendship, fair play, and
reciprocal confidence. If Japan and
China are to cooperate it must be
as friends and not as enemies. The
problems underlying Chinese-Japa-
nese relations must be solved on a
basis that is fair to each and ac-
ceptable to BOTH"
Eden for England and Delbos for
France seconded these sentiments.
A committee was named to send
an appeal to Japan to open peace
negotiations with China, and Ger
many was asked to reconsider her
refusal to take part in the confer
ence.

two new battleships and has appro-
priations for IS other warships.
These include three aircraft car
riers, one heavy cruiser, nine light
cruisers, ffty-fve destroyers and
seventeen submarines.
Five years ago the total num-
Der of under age vessels was 101 of
728,050 tons, with twenty-three YES
sells of $500 tons under construc-
ton. Today the navy has 113 YES
sells of 869, 230 tons under age, and
eighty-seven vessels of 1886, 565 tons
under construction.

China Won't Negotiate

HEN. CHANG kAl-SHEk, dlcta-
~ tor of China, issued a formal
statement opposing direct negotia-
tons with Japan for settlement of
the Far Eastern conflict.
He reaffirmed China's determine
ton to continue the struggle until
"justice is re-established in this part
of the world" and expressed opti-
mism concerning the military situa-
ton.
Success of the Brussels conference
was endangered by the presence
there of Soviet Russia. japanese
circles said they believed Japan was
ready to exchange information con-
corning the conflict in China with
signatories of the nine power treaty
of 1922, but not with nonsignatories
like Russia.
