THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
By PAUL JOHN KvALE, M. C.

This report is not to be a vale
dictory to the 18th Congress as your
correspondent predicted, chiefly be-
cause of the failure of members from
the north and south to agree on a
wage-hour bill Adjournment by the
time these lines occur in print seems
likely at this writing but in view of
the alarm felt in high administra-
ton circles over the precarious con-
dition of the railroads, there is moth
ing certain about it.
incidentally the south won its
battle by threatening to filibuster all
summer if necessary to block any
measure which failed to provide for
wage differentials favorable to the
employers of that section of the coun-
try. The draft finally agreed upon
by the conferees late yesterday is
filled with loopholeS and is but a
''ghost" of the measure passed by
the House. 1t retains provision for a
minimum wage of 25 cents an hour
the first year and 80 the second, but
new flexible" provision has been
inserted for creation of industrial
wage boards to determine minimum
wages up to 40 cents in those in
dustries which, after hearings, APP
pear able to afford rates above the
25 cent minimum. 1t will go to the
House Monday where its original pro-
ponents are so disappointed with it
that there is a possibility that it may
not pass.

(Omitted from publication last issue
for lack of Space.)

Big news hit the Capital with a
rush as the week drew to a close
with the spotlight conferred on pas
sage late last night by the Senate
of the Relief-Recovery bill, carrying
an appropriation of approximately
$3,722,905, 900. The final vote was
go to 10 and came only after bitter
wrangling on the floor when anti
New Deal Democrats and Republic
cans sought to hamstring the Ad-
ministration by inserting amend
ments which would have provided
for earmarking the funds instead of
permitting the President and his ex-
ecutive assistants to use their own
judgment in the matter.
Only one such amendment was
adopted and that provides for setting
aside $50,000,000 for the Federal Sur
plus Commodities Corporation for the
purchase of seafood and agricultural
commodities for distribution to the
needy. So impressive was the Ad-
ministration strength that any doubts
that may have lurked in the minds
of the insurgent Democrats and Re-
publicans regarding the continued
popularity of the New Deal were
completely wiped out.
Meanwhile, the conferees who have
the wage-hours legislation under con-
sideration made progress yesterday
and they are expected to recommend
Is cents an hour minimum pay
for industries in interstate commerce;
certain changes regarding the pro-
visions regulating child labor and
provision for administration of the
proposed act by a board independent
of any now functioning under the
Administration. The House opposed
such method of administration and
it is opposed by the A. +. of L.
Nevertheless, the writer is of the
opinion that one more week will suf-
flee to wind up the affairs of the 18th
Congress and he looks for adjourn
ment not later than June 10. The
score for the five months of the ses-
sion stands something like this: Bills
enacted: Relief-Recovery, Tax Re-
vision, Naval Expansion, Federal Aid
for highways, seven regular appropri-
alton measures. Bills awaiting Senate
House compromises: Wages-hours
flood control, rivers and harbors, civil
aviation, three regular appropriation
measures. Bills pending: Low-cost
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1938-06-16

The President signed a bill carry
ing S315,300,000 in authorizations for
the Federal-aid highway program
during the fiscal years of 1910 and
1941. For the first year S128,900, 900
is allowed and for the second $780,
100000. Minnesota's share will be
about 100000.
A joint committee was authorized by
the Senate to investigate monopolies.
1t will have 100000 for expenses,
100000 of the amount to be ex-
pended at the discretion of the Pres
ident. 1t will consist of three Sena-
tors, three House members and rep
resentatives of the departments of
Justice, Labor, Commerce and Treas
ury. Also representatives of the Sc
curities and Exchange and Federal
Trade commissions. 1t will have
broad powers to subpoena witnesses
and documents and punish individuals
and firms which refuse to obey its
orders. The resolution will be adopted
by the House.

A bill was passed unanimously and
signed by the President during the
week which provides for heavy fines
and Imprisonment for persons dis
covered disseminating propaganda in
this country without first registering
with the Secretary of State. 1t is
aimed primarily at foreign anti
American propaganda but may apply
to press agents and all pressure
groups which employ them for the
spreading of propaganda which in the
opinion of Federal authorities is inim-
ical to the welfare and safety of the
nation.

Revival of the Great-Lakes ST..
Lawrence waterway project, under a
five year program of construction,
resulted last week from the submits
sion of a proposed treaty by the
Department of State to Canadian au-
thorities at Ottawa. It calls for a
27-foot channel from the lakes to
the sea, locks around the Internal
tional Falls at Niagara, building of
great hydro-electric plant and beau
LITIGATION of the falls. The treaty,
which must be ratified by both gov
ernments, calls for expenditures of
$225 100000 by the United States.

Conferees appointed to iron out diff
ferences in the bill to revise and ex-
pand the food and drug laws have
reached complete agreement, and ac-
ceptance of their report without de-
bate is forecast. The bill provides
for Federal supervision of cosmetics,
a field which had not before been
entered.

Getting back to the Relief-Recov-
cry bill for moment, it should be
pointed out that the appropriation
provided in the Senate measure is
an increase of $568,580,OOO over the
total in the House bill. However,
SITS, 100000 of the total is a pro
rata increase in the WPA appropria-
ton to cover eight months instead of
seven, and $3OO,OOO,OOO is an addi-
ton to the present $5OO,OOO,OOO bor-
rowing and lending authority of the
United States Housing Administra-
ton, proposal which was debated
in the House in a separate bill yes
terday.

Yesterday the President approved
loan contracts totaling $57, 1877 900 for
slum clearance projects in eight cities.
1t is expected the contracts will make
available decent housing for $4,000
slum jewellers at low cost. It is esti-
mated that the rental will be from
$3.75 to $4.25 per month per room.
The House passed a bill revising the
1906 Food and Drug act yesterday
which would bring numerous COM
modities under the law which are
now exempt, including therapeutic
devices and drugs which it is claimed
will reduce or increase weight. Also
it would prohibit adulteration of
cosmetics and strengthen labelling
regulations.

With the cooperation of Highway
Commissioner Elsberg, this office is

to be conducted at government ex-
pense. One man suggested that the
government should buy up all the
tractors and prohibit their manu-
facture, then give the farmers horses
to use instead. This, he argued,
would provide more employment,
create a demand for horse feed and
result in the propagation of colts.
Other schemes suggested to the agen-
cy include: End drouths by watering
arid lands from airplanes. Move the
capital of the nation to Denver, for
that would mean population shift,
and prosperity goes with population
shifts.
President Roosevelt has told Sem
ate leaders that he wants the House
Alien Deportation bill passed before
adjournment. The measure passed
the House last year and has been on
the Senate calendar since. The meas
ure, introduced by Rep. Dies 3D.
TeX.), would authorize the deporta-
ton of all aliens convicted of crimes,
particularly smugglers, peddlers of
narcotics and aliens convicted of car
rying concealed weapons Both the
American Federation of Labor and
the Committee for Industrial Organi-
cation have approved the legislation,
as well as other organizations.
AS this is being written, officials
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion refused to confirm, or deny per-
sistent reports that a decision had
been reached disappearing the pro-
posal for splitting up the Minneapolis
& st. Louis Railroad among major
western rail lines. That decision
was imminent, however, was con-
coded by sources close to the COM
mission, and the anxiety of those who
have expressed alarm over the pro-
posed ACKNOWLEDGMENT was noticeably
leSsened.
ConfereeS appointed to iron out diff
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1938-06-16

Also, as the week came to a close
the President announced his inten-
ton to send fact finding commits
sion of experts to England to study
the methods of that country in han
ding the labor problem. MIR. Roose-
welt explained that this move is not
made with any intention of changing
the Wagner act. The international
picture also came to the front when
the United States, through Assistant
Secretary of State Welles, denounced
the barbaric activities in China and
Spain where the slaughter of women,
children and male non-combatants
by air raids continued during the
week. Meanwhile, Secretary of State
Hull, in a speech last night at Nash
vile, in his home state, called upon
the nation to unite for world order,
definitely rejected the existing iso-
lation policy as futile and presented
a program for leadership by this
country against anarchy and saw
agery."

Farm leaders are worried over pro-
visions in the crop control law which
requires automatic reduction in acre
age when SURPRISES develop. Some
action will probably be taken be-
fore adjournment to prevent threat
ened so percent cut in wheat acreage
next year. The flood control bill
authorizing expenditure of $375, 000,-
900 cleared the Senate and the House
is almost certain to okay the con-
ference report on it next week.
Special divisional inspectors will
personally supervise and speed the
S1,365, 100000 Public Works program.
The eight regional directors of the
PWA comforting here with Acting
Administrator Howard A. Gray have
agreed upon a plan whereby each
PWA project in every part of the
country will be watched over care
fully by special trained inspectors
whose one job will be to see that
there is no delay from the time the
project is merely an idea, through
the application and allotment of Fed
eral funds to final completion.
