blunt suggestion by Chairman

a cool reception today on Capitol Hill
Wall Street bankers and several
economists indorsed his goal, but ex-
pressed less enthusiasm about his sug-

Eccles in statement last night said
1t would be preferable to jack up Fed

keep the Government in the red.
Calling for prompt action, he said
a balanced budget would mesh with

balanced recovery.
Il have not been and am not now,
he said, in favor of balancing the
budget at the expense of the destitute

and profits if necessary to sustain the
volume of relief and bring the budget
into balance and permit the paying
down of public debt as private debt

LONDON. March 16.-The British
government will not pay a pension to
the Duke of Windsor, preSenta ton of
King George WIS civil list message
disclosed today.
Instead, the royal family, from its
own pockets, will make an allowance
to former King Edward VIII.
There was no mention of the Duke
OF Windsor in the message, presented
IN the House of Commons. 1t turned
over to Commons the hereditary rev.
enueS from the Duchy of Cornwall.
formerly held by Edward 1t asked IN
return that Commons make provisions
for certain members of the royal fam
lily.
Those for whom provisions were re-
quested were the Queen, the children
of the royal couple and the Duke of
Gloucester.
The size Of the Duke Of Windsor's
income since he abdicated has been
matter of speculation. Some reports
state his grandmother, Queen Alex
andra, left him about S5,O00,0OO
Under last years civil list, Edward,
as King, received about s2,O5O,OO0. but
agreed not to draw about $685.. 900 of
it. He lost that income when he quit
the throne, along with the duchy
revenues he had held as Prince of
Wales.
The Duke of Gloucester, under the
former list, was granted approximate
ly $4,000. The wife of the then
Duke of York, now the Queen, re-
ceived no annuity under that list, nor
did the children of the present mon
archs.

KALGAN, Chahar Province, China,
March 16.-The Mongol hordes of
Northern China we're reported by mis-
sionaries today to have declared their
independence from China and pro-
claimed themselves a new nation
Mongokuo-"s similar" to the Japanese
inspired State of Manchoukuo.
Wholly unconfirmed reports, brought
to this last northern outpost of Chinese
influence by missionaries from the
snow wastes of Northern Chahar, said
the irregular troops of the rebellious
Mongol prince, Teh Wang, had estab-
liShed the new state, with the as
sistance of Japanese advisors and
military men.
The startling advices caused Kalgan
political circles to seethe with uncer-
tainty over the future of all North
China, many seeing in the alleged
establishment of the puppet state Of
Mongokuo threat of possible war
between Japan and China.
Adding to the dangers of the stu
alton, Mongols here said, was the
fact that Prince Teh's going over to
the Japanese had cost him his in
fluence with his own people to such
an extent establishment of new
regime would have been possible only
under conpulsion.

The reports said the new nation

DETROIT March 16 (P).-A shut

Gov. Frank Murphy arranged to
come here from Lansing for a con-

Guests of the hotels had the option
of staying-which meant trudgine
long stairways to get food, and max

action which involved hauling their

Headline Folk
and What
They Do
Widow Carries on Mar
cotic War Started by
Hamilton Wright.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON,

THE good men do isn't neces-
sarily inferred with their bones
II they have cooperating
Il wives. The late Hamilton
Wrights world war on narcotics has
been showed on down through 19 years
OF tireless fighting by his widow. At
Richmond, Va, Mrs. Wright pleads
to the National Congress Of Parents
and Teachers for united and effective
action against the Marijuana weed,
murderous Mexican narcotic smoked
by school children. She calls it the
"most pernicious Of drugs"
In New Mexico, II years ago, the
State Narcotics Commission found
growers and cigarette manufacturers
pressing campaign among children,
and they found the children smoking
marijuana. They passed law. The
use of the weed crept on to New York.
Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Penn
sylvania, Texas and several Southern
States. Just about a year ago Brook
lyn police were tearing up marijuana
patches in vacant lots and chasing
marlJuana racketeerS.
At the Richmond congress, Mrs.
Wright represents the Federal Bureau
of Narcotics. In 1921 she began her
service as one Of three international
members of the Opium Advisory Com
mittee of the League of Nations. and
has since wged her fight against the
drug traffic in every country where it
originates. She was Elizabeth Wash
burn, the daughter Of the late Senator
William Drew Washburn, who had
been Minister to France.
Hamilton Wright Travelled, agitated,
organized, wrote and lectured for wears
against narcotics. When, in 1918. he
went to Paris as member of the Peace
Conference, he was killed in a street
accident. Mrs. Wright, highly placed
socially in Washington, left her pleas
ant home and her four children and
picked up her husbands S gage where it
had fallen.
There are so many things to be
against these days it is hard to pick
your opponent. Why not just take
marijuana weed? This writer speaks
with feeling on this subject. having
observed one citizen chewing anothers
ear off in a mountain hamlet in
Southern Mexico, quite a few years
before the weed became an extra
curricular interest in American hign
schools. I had joined in singing the
quaint La Cucaracha" song about the
cockroach that got so full of marijuana
weed that he couldn't walk homo.
There was nothing in the song about
the drugs peculiar Indictment to
mayhem.
1t was about II years ago that the
BROOKLYN police arrested Andrew
Huerta, Mexican sailor, who was SELL
ing marijuana cigarettes. In back
yard in Queens, he showed them a
knee-high croop of narijuana This
led to the arrest of racketeers, growing
the weed and selling cigarettes to SOL
| diers. Every year or so there is an ar
| rest. The cigarettes are made from
the dried leaves and the flowers Of the
weed, which is known as wild to-
bacco" and looks like tomato vine 1t
is tough growth and so is the habit.

you will know what is the matter.

of the employers of the country. What
ever employers do nowadays they do
because they wish to abide by the
principle of law upheld by the Su-
preme Court. Most Of them do not
expect justice in the application of
the principle.
Experience Seen Deficient.
These things may sound harsh. but
they are true and often the truth Is
most effective If 1t is plainly blurted
out. Miss Perkins has a bright mind
and knows the theory Of labor rela-
tions better than anybody in Wash
ington, but she has never had direct
experience in handling a labor prob
lem under the financial responsibility
of making ends meet In a large busi-
ness.
There is man in the Department
of Labor-the Assistant Secretary

of Labor. His name is Edward F.

Taxation and Criticism
New Deal Journalists May Take Tip From Comment
on British Program

lines Of benevolent autocracy and
disciplinary coercion. Evidence and
debate were reduced to sheer fu-
tiliarianism.
The original miscellany Of advisers
called the brain trust was free OF
both the omniscience and irresponsi-
bility which has been arrogated by
the present cabal OF unknown en-
cyclopedic amateurs who prolnerate
bills about subjects in which Con-
gress is infinitely better versed and
trained. With the passing Of the
emergency and in the present period
OF transition from recovery to what
ought to become prosperity, the or
derly processes Of free and unprej-
udiced inquiry are urgently necessary.
But they have not had either a
popular hearing, or hearing In Con-
gress. Although the anti-administra-
tion part of our press has often been
one-sided, fault-f1nding and not very
constructive, our democracy is also
suffering from the professional New
Deal journalist who attacks any critic
OF the regime as being influenced by
crude or corrupt motives or incapable,
by reason of association with eco
nomic royalsts, OF being disinterested.
From courts to taxes, debate becomes
a name-calling contest.
Logical Challengers Considered.
In the British case, responsible Of
flcials are called upon to think with
Parliament and meet the practical
and logical challenges Of cooperative
inquiry. And when Mr.. Keynes, most
radical of English money theorists,
concurs with the Tories that the new
tax Is ''leVy on the growth of youth
and enterprise as such''-precisely
the objection made against our own
tax plan by leading business men
no Labor party journalist has seen
flt to argue that Mr.. Keynes opinion
is prejudiced by his position as chair
man of an insurance company, direc-
tor Of an investment trust. and pri-
vate investor.
Here in America the corporation
tax bill has been consistently criti-
cized by the United States Chamber
OF Commerce. In the New Deal press,
and by the New Deal journalists, those
criticisms have been largely dismissed
as being just the fulminations Of men
trying to hold on to their personal
goods and hamper social progress.
Would it interest those journalists to
know that the British tax bill is being
criticized for precisely the same rea-
sons by the New Statesman and Ma
ton? That publication is socialist in
orientation and is the unofficial organ
of the British Labor party, but in
the last issue to reach this country,
that OF April "a, under the heading,
Budget Chaos" it attacks the dis
criminatory elements of the plan on
grounds similar to the Twentieth Gen.
tury Funds critique of our undBtrib-
uted profits tax and the capital gains
tax, which same grounds were ad-
vanced by the United States Chamber
OF Commerce.
II liberals will not listen to Ameri-
can business men, perhaps they will
listen to British Socialists, 50 in the
next column I shall take up the New
Statesmant criticism Of the British
tax, and compare it with some un-
needed criticism Of our own taxation.
