This bears out what has been charged and de
MED many times viz that the ADMINISTRATION forces
are depending on relief workers and those support

public spending rather than diminish it.

the securities market Is down.
The United States government
could serve the people admirably
by always being willing To redeem
federal bonds at face value.
Should the government take such
position. its bonds would u"vC"
decline below face value. Nor
would the government have to
buy in its bonds when owners
wished to sell them, since the fact
that such bonds were guaranteed
to stay at par would mean an
ever eager market for them.
The federal government has
performed an invaluable service
for the people through guaan
teeing bank deposits, thus giving
them safe places in which to keep
their money. 1t could perform an
other invaluable service by pro-
viding stable liquid security in

his attacks on the King personally

M. Davila has lived in this country
for number of years and is fanatically

he has found here. In the event he
loses the citizenship Of Rumania he
would want nothing better than to be-
come an American citizen.
Technically this is possible. Although

The straw vote is being conducted
by the association by mail as a pre-
liminary to the suffrage plebiscite next
Saturday. Only about IS per cent Of
the membership has replied to date,
but more cards are coming in daily
Mr.. Carruthers said.
A special meeting OF the association
has been called tonight for considera-

Charles A. Davila, who until a few
months ago. was Rumania's Minister
to the United States, may take out
his naturalization papers shortly to
become citizen of this country.
Mr.. 'Davila resigned last winter be-
cause he could not agree with the die
tatorial policies Of his sovereign, King
Carol.
Because of his attitude toward the
new dictatorial regime in Rumania
and his writings in newspapers and
magazines outside his country, the
irate Carol has decided to withdraw
Mr.. Davila's citizenship and confis-
cate his properties in Rumania. Thus,
the former representative of Rumania
may find himself q man without
country. like Einstein, Bruening and
other European liberals who did not
want to bow to the whims of the die
tators.

manian diplomat has received that
Carol intends to take this drastic step
against him come true. Mr.. Davila in
tends to file the preliminary papers to
become an American citizens. He feels
that Carol has broken . pledge
