'The laws should be so written
and administered that the taxpayer
can continue to make a reasonable
profit with a minimum of inter-
ference from his federal govern
ment."
Moreover, the treasury head went
on record as opposed to a continu-
ance of the era of unlimited govern
ment spending Said he: ''The basic
need today is to foster the full ap-
plication of the driving force of pri-
vate capital. We want to see capital
60 into the productive channels of
private industry. We want to see
private business expand"
The plan advanced by Mr.. Nor
genthau for balancing the budget
was to bring next years eXpendi-
lures, under the 1889 budget which
takes effect next July l, within this
years revenues. To achieve bal
ance, exclusive of debt retirement
payments, the present scale of ex-
penditures would have to be sliced
$500, 100000, he added.
While he urged against tax in
creases, Mr.. Morgenthau suggested
that a broader base for income
taxes, increasing the number of tax
payers above the present 100000
would be a more equitable substi-
tute for the present federal taxes
on consumerS-the so-called nui-
Sance taxes.

troll when necessary, and the lever
normal granary" are parts of his
plan.
These are the six points of the
program which Wallace said would
harmonic with the general welfare:
l. Farmers should have a share in
the national income to re-establish
the prewar ratio of the average
farmers purchasing power to that
of the average non-farmer.
2. The people who live on the
land must have security of tenure,
either as owners of land or renters
on a longtime basis.
p. The soil must be used properly
and conserved for future farmers
and future city jewellers.
4. Farmers through sound coop
eratives must come into control of
those marketing, processing, pur-
chasing and service functions which
they can manage efficiently.
5. Family sized farms should be
favored by federal programs, bene-
fit payments and other such aids to
rural income.
6. Federal and state funds should
continue to be spent to promote ag-
ricultural research and farm eff
cheney.

Great Britain and France agreed
to join in any effort "short of war"
which the United States may de-
eide should be made, this meaning
economic sanctions against Japan.
But the isolationist policy of this
country would have to be abandoned
if such sanctions were to be of any
avail.
A long document was submitted
to the conference by China asking
that the war be ended by the infiic-
ton of penalties against Japan. The
memorandum gave statistical tables
that showed economic sanctions
could halt Japan because of that ma
TONS dependence on foreign mar
kets and foreign sources of supply.
Norman H. Davis, chief Ameri-
can delegate, in addressing the con-
ference, was rather conciliatory to-
ward Japan, but he said:
"The question in its final analysis,
is whether international relations
shall be determined by arbitrary
force or by law and respect for in
ternational treaties. In fact, that
seems to be the greatest issue fac
ing the world today, and one of the
most momentous problems that
mankind has been called on to
solve"

"Fireside Chat"

CALLING on the nation for full CO.
~ operation in the taking of the
voluntary census of the unemployed,
taken by the Post Office depart
ment, President Roosevelt in a
"fireside chat by radio said that
permanent cure of the unemploy-
ment problem lies in finding jobs in
industry and agriculture. Neverthe-
less, he said, it is still the policy of
the administration that no one shall
starve through lack of government
aid.
He gave assurance that the gov
eminent will try to stimulate pri-
vate industry enough to enable it to
re-absorb the jobless; and after the
results of the census are tabulated,
a long-range program will be
launched. This program, he said,
will apply to employers as well as
to workers, and in this was per-
ceived note of encouragement to
business.
The President said prosperity of
the nation depended upon national
purchasing power, and added:
"Our far-sighted industrial lead
ers now recognize that very sub
stantial share of corporate earnings
must be paid out in wages, or the
soil from which these industries
grow will soon become impov-
erished. Our farmers recognize that
their largest customers are the
workers for wages, and that farm
markets cannot be maintained ex-
cept through widespread purchasing
power"
Mr.. Roosevelt emphasized that
employment problem by huge
armament program, as other ma
tons are doing.

At the outset of the proclamation
the President said, "the harvests of

Plot to Kill Stain?

IRON foreign diplomats stationed

plot by German agents to assassi-

been uncovered, and that it might
compromise Maxim Litvinov, for
eign commissar, who left the Brus-
sells conference suddenly and APP
parently seriously worried. Investi-
cations by the G. P. U. already
have resulted in the recall or dis
appearance of many leading Rus
sian diplomats. The German con-
sui general in Leningrad was or
dered to leave the country imme-
diately. 1t is believed two German
agents arrested some weeks ago
confessed the conspiracy to murder

offset by the cost of the stamp on
the official letter inclosing the re-
ceipt and by the cost of telephone
call from the prime minister's office
to the treasury to arrange for dis
posal of the penny.
Deliberations between the two de-
partments revealed that the debt
structure of the commonwealth was
not sufficiently flexible to receive
one penny. Also, it could not square
the debt into round figures because
the interest accrues GsiIv.

Grim Tragedy at Sea

Hatteras, and for hours the mem
bers of the crew, clinging to life
RATS and wreckage, fought off a
horde of sharks. They were sighted
by aviators from Norfolk and most
of them were picked up by the
coast guard cutter Mendoza and the
tanker Swiftsure. One of the sur
vivors, the third engineer, charged
that the first S o S was sent from
the vessel only after he drew a
knife and threatened to kill the ra-
dio operator unless he called for aid.
