News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDVOLD

by one OF tnOSe unusual GOMEZ
dences which help to make history
CASTOR Doumergue, for
mer president and premier of the
French Republic, died few hours
retired; the coincidence lies in the fact
that the very same tactics drove these
two men out of the highest office in
their country: Doumergue, who was
president from 1924 to 1881, was
summoned to form a cabinet in Feb
ruary, 1884, Immediately after the
bloody street riots in Paris, and nine
months later he had to quit because
the parliament would not acquiesce
in his demand for what were thought
to be dictatorial powers. The same
thing happened to Blum. He in
sisted that he be given authority
to govern by decree rather than by
parliament-made laws in order to re-
form the finances of France by added
taxation rather than by additional
loans; the chamber of deputies, with
comfortable majorities, on two oc-
casions gave that authority to him,
but the senate, likewise twice, denied
it, and Blum then had nothing to do
but submit his and his cabinets res
ignation to President Albert Lebrun.
Camille Chautemps who on two for
mer occasions has been premier, has
been asked to reconstruct the gov
eminent.
The Speech Not Delivered.
For reasons not yet known in the
United States Adolf Hitler, chief ex-
ecutive of the German government,
did not deliver his expected speech
on the Danzig and the Polish Cor
ridor question last Saturday; it is
thought that Great Britain and France
applied gentle but firm pressure in
the belief that what Hitler might
have to say would not further the
cause of European peace. And then
there was this, too: Yesterday-that
is, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. van Neu-
rath, Germany's foreign minister, was
to arrive in London for conferences
with Anthony Eden, foreign minister
of Great Britain. Had Hitler said
what it was feared he might say, Won
Neurath's mission might not have
been as devoid of embarrassment as
it now probably will be. Later word
is to the effect that Won Neurath's
London trip has been Cancelled, and
no reason for taking this step was
made public.
In this connection it is of interest
to note that an official British re-
port from ambassadorial circles in
Berlin is to the effect that when the
German armored cruiser, Deutsch-
land, was bombed by Spanish loyal
lists some weeks back, Hitler imme-
diately wanted to declare war against
Spain. Only the calm counsel-and
six hours of remonstrance-by War
Minister Werner Won Blomberg and
by Won Neurath dissuaded Hitler from
taking this rash step; the two min
listers pointed out that, conceivably,
Great Britain and France would not
look idly at German attack on
Spain, so Hitler, by way of reprisals,
confined himself to the lombard
ment of Almeria.

URGED
TO HELP BUSINESS
U. S. Chamber of Commerce
Warns Against Further
Checks and Spending.

President Roosevelt was urged yes
terday by the United States Chamber
Of Commerce to shape administration
policy according to the views of his
moderate advisers who want to stimu-
late business rather than according
to the views of the small group Of So
called extremists who oppose any re-
Taxation of existing policies. but urge
further regulation of economic social
life, coupled with resumption of pub
lie spending on large scale.
Remarking that it is imperative
that the administration readjust its
policies TO meet new conditions arising
from the slower pace of business ac-
tivity, the chamber implied its ap-
proval of relaxation of restrictions
on business, the program said to be
advocated by majority Of the Presi-
dents fiscal advisers.
This moderate group, the chamber
noted, was advising curtailment of ex-
penditures, modification of taxation, a
firmer attitude toward labor and a
clariflcation of the administrator
policy toward public utilities and other
industries with q view to restoring con-
fldence and encouraging capital in
vestment in new industries and con-
struction. The backlog of unified in
dustrial requirements in the electric
power industry alone, the chamber
noted, totals $4,000, 100000.
Less Expenditures Urged.
George H. Davis, president OF the
chamber. warned that the budget must
be balanced by curtailment Of ex-
penditure rather than by imposition
of higher taxes.
"The underlying conditions causing
the greatest difficulty is the level of
Federal expenditures" said Mr.. Davis.
Expenditures determine taxes.
Efforts to find revenues o'support
high levels of expenditures are chiefly
responsible for the executive tax
burdens and the accumulation Of re-
pressive provisions that today char
acterize our tax laws.
"The persistent demand for .
balanced budget cannot be ignored.
1T is apparent that If expenditures
OF $7,500,000,000 or $4,000. .000, 900
should be continued, new revenues will
have to be sought.
"It is equally certain that no such
volume of revenues could be obtained
from forms and rates of taxes that
would not bring hardships or put
brakes upon progress.
There is accumulating evidence OF

this purpose and also suggested that
the report Of such a committee should
subsequently be submitted to a gen.
eral conference of Republican leaders
embracing young Republicans, wom-
ems organizations and others. He
said at that time the chief emphasis
in his opinion should be laid upon a
committee to consider the issues OF the
day.
"A few days ago former Gov. Lam
don made public a letter expressing
his views. It was his thought that
the scope of inquiry on the part of
such committee should be sufi-
GENTLY broad so that not only funda-
mental issues might be taken UP but
also specific issues. As to those who
might attend national general con-
ference. If 1t was held, they should
truly represent all groups in the party.
AS the result OF these suggestions
and Of various other communications
from Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Landon and
other leading Republicans, including
members Of the national committee
who conferred with me prior to the
meeting, drafted the resolution
which was presented to the commit

the excessive burdens upon business
resulting from the numerous and be-
wildering variety of taxes.
Consumers Bear Burden.
Most of the taxes must be passed
on to consumers. If business is to
survive, there is no avoidance of this.
Prices to consumers increase. Busi-.
AeSs does not desire prices that re-
strict consumption. slow down ac-
tivity, reduce opportunity for employ
ment and low standards of living.
When the Government then has to
make additional expenditures for re-
lief OF unemployment the harmful
cycle is completed.
Some Federal taxes are especially
restrictive upon business expansion
and growth. The surtax on undis-
tributed profits Is one Of these strong
deterrents 10 business progress. Too
many. corporations cannot afford to
improve plants. to expand, to risk new
enterprises-all of which would give
employment. They find it increasing
ly difficult to finance new projects and
to refund or discharge existing indebt-
edness.
THE present method of treating
capital gains and losses for income tax
purposes also has repressive effects on
business. The provisions of the law are
peculiarly unfair in that while gains
are taxed the right to deduct losses
is seriously restricted. The tax i'm
posed on gains is so high and the law
so inequitable that taxpayers refrain
from capital transactions which other
wise would be made and would assist
recovery.
Taxation of non-existing income is
a serious inequity. Payment of tax
on income which, according to accept
ed accounting procedure, does not
exist, Is bad enough, but when, as in
the case of a corporation, there is a
second tax punitive in its nature, for
failure to distribute the non-existent
income, the taxpayer is doubly in
jured."
The chambers summary of its an
alysis OF the corporate surplus tax
cited numerous instances of corpora
tions. which weathered the depression
through use Of surplus funds, now be-
ing forced to reduce pay rolls because
of inability to build up reserves.

Stenders Of Your Money
Agencies Like Mental Hygiene Institute
Often Called "Soul Clinics"

This Is the nth OF a series of
articles about the people charged
with the duty OF handling the
money Which each year is donated
to the Community Chest.

IICOUL CLINICS" agencies like
the Washington Institute for
Mental Hygiene, 1854 Co
lumbia road, are sometimes
called.
Men and women come there, de-
feated by life and broken by trouble.
They leave with new courage and the
spiritual strength to face their trou-
bles and conquer them. Children, al
ready showing the tendencies that
mark them for the prisons and mental
hospitals Of tomorrow, are skillfully
guided toward brighter future.
DR.. Paul Ewerhardt, director of this
clinic, has specialized In mental trou-
bles ever since his graduation from
the School Of Medicine of Washing
ton University, st. Louis. He worked
for many years on the STATS Of both
State and private mental hospitals
and was In the neuropsychopathic
service OF the Army during the World
War.
Superstitions Disappear.
When he returned TO this country
he found that public opinion about
insanity was beginning to change. Su-
perstitions were disappearing Knowl-
edge about its causes and cures was
spreading. A few preventive clinics
we're established in the early 1920s and
DR.. Ewerhardt, on a special scholar
ship, was able to work and study in
some Of the most famous ones.
He came to Washington in 1890
from the Mental Hygiene Clinic Of
Providence, r. l., on the request of
the late DR.. William A. White of this
city. With the aid Of DR.. White and
others who were interested In the
work, he set up the Child Guidance
Clinic, which has since helped over
5000 children.
DR.. Ewerhardts prime interest still
is in work with children, for he has
found that the troubles which have
serious consequences in later life usu-
ally start in childhood. In talks to
parents and others dealing with chill
dren, as well as In work with individ-
ual children themselves, he is con-
stantly preaching and practicing the
principles Of mental hygiene. He be-
lieves that when parents are as con-
cerned about children's nail-biting,
temper. tantrums, shyness, bullying
and other nervous characteristics as
they now are about matters of diet.
exercise and fresh air, the alarming

increases in mental illness will begin
to be checked.
First Confined 10 Children.
For the first six years DR.. Ever
hardt's clinic was confined to children,
but early in 1885 it merged with the
Life Adjustment Center-a similar
clinic for adults which had been start
ed by the Rev. Moses Lowell In the
Mount Pleasant Church.
AS typical Of the adult cases, DR..
Ewerhardt describes the man who can't
hold his job. At last comes a day
when he can't find another job. Sick
with worry and the sense of failure, he
comes to the Life Adjustment Center.
Bit by bit, as his story unfolds under
the skilled guidance of a psychiatrist,
he gets new perspective on his trou-
bles, sees where he has been wrong,
and is able to shape his life along new
patterns. When a new Job comes, he
is ready to get and to hold it. DR..
Ewerhardt's knowledge of mental trou-
bles convinces him that many sui.
cides and crimes as we'll as mental
breakdowns are prevented by this kind
of preliminary help.
The Washington Institute of Mental
Hygiene gives its services free Of
charge-it is supported by the Com
munity Chest-because it has found
that many people who need its help
must have already reached a stage
where it is impossible for them to
earn an adequate living and pay for
the service they need. When people
come who can afford to pay, they are
referred to private psychiatrists.

The campaign goal of s2,059, 900
was set by the Budget Committee OF
the Chest after several weeks of hear
ings during which the "a Washington
agencies submitted their requests for
funds for the coming year. These
budget hearings were conducted under
direction of j. S. Gorrell, chairman,
and Frank M. Gray, budget secretary,
who acted in an advisory capacity.
The nine Washington hospitals
which have free beds maintained by
Community Chest contributions have
all been included in the approved list

odically.
In resigning from the Chest, the
Hebrew Free Loan Society explained
that q revolving fund from which
loans are made without interest to
small business men now is large
enough so that additional funds from
the Chest will not be needed. The
Society has kept many small mer-
chants of the relief rolls by lending
them small sums to carry them
through business crises. It also lends
money for tools for deserving mechan-
les and other worthy workmen tempo
rarily in need. In past years the
Society has received approximately
$4,000 year from the Chest.
Contributions from Chest funds to
such organizations as the American
Legion and the Disabled American
Veterans are made to help care for
disabled and needy veterans and their
families not otherwise provided for.

CHEST HELP URGED
BY DISTRICT HEADS
Method Best Yet Found to
Raise Funds for Needy,
Proclamation SAYS.

Declaring that the Community Chest
method OF raising funds for private
welfare "is the best yet discovered"
the District Commissioners yesterday,
by proclamation, called on all District
residents to support the Chest to the
utmost of their ability during its 10th
annual campaign, which opens We'd
nesday.
Signed by the three members of the
Board of Commissioners. the proclama-
ton called attention to the increased
needs involved in the growth Of the
city during the last 10 years and by
the addition of the suburban areas
this year.
The text of the proclamation follows:
whereas the Community Chest of
Washington. D. c.. is holding its 10th
anniversary campaign this year;
Whereas through the addition of
the Suburban Unit comprising the
four surrounding counties and the city
of Alexandria, We are to have
Greater Washington campaign with
highly increased needs augmenting
the normal growth of need in our city
through the addition of 10000 popu-
lation in the last 10 years;
Whereas again we are to be asked,
by one generous gift, to help our less
fortunate fellow citizens by supporting
the 50 agencies included in this drive;
Whereas the Community Chest has
proved its right to place in Wash
ington; has demonstrated that the
Chest method of raising funds for pri-
vate welfare is the best yet discovered;
has proved powerful influence in
uniting all races, creeds and colors in
a real community spirit and has been
our efficient and economical repre-
sentative in helping those who need
help;
Nov therefore, because of all these
accomplishments, and, because the
goal of s2059,000 is urgently needed
to meet the minimum human needs
of Washington through these 50
agencies, and. because all of us Wash
ingtonians are and must be "our
brothers keepers" We, the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia,
urge every citizen of Washington dur
ing this campaign to support the
Chest by work and contribution to
the utmost possible extent"

to make a report on a declaration of

about Dewey as a presidential can

Mr.. Dewey makes strong appeal
to the younger group in the commit

new, entirely away and apart from
recent overwhelming defeats of the

two ambitions-the first to be Gov

National committee members, al
though they were here not to talk OF
possible presidential candidates, but
to arrive at some plan for placing the
q. o. p. on record for an affirmative
program, let their minds run over the
candidate field. In addition to Mr..
Dewey, they gave consideration to the
availability Of Senator Vandenberg OF
