BISHOPS DO NOT REACH HARMONY
German Prelates Disagree on Question of Repudiat.
 ing Austrian Clergy

Berlin, Aug. 18 - tUP) - Roman Catholic Bishops of Germany, meet ing at Fulda, have disagreed on the question of repudiating Austrian bishops for their tendency to CO., operative with the Nazi govern ment, 1t was reported today. A minority of the bishops, made up of younger participants, refused to join the majority in condemning the attitude of the Austrian bishops 1t was understood. Those who fav- ored repudiation were said to in- clude the chairman. Cardinal Ber- tram, Archbishop of Breslau; Car dinal Schulte, Archbishop of Colog- ne; Cardinal Faulhaber, Archbishop of Munich, and Count Konrad von Preysing, Bishop of Berlin.
 Read Correspondence
 It was reported that correspond ence over a period of months be- tween Cardinal Bertram and Car dinal Innitzer, Archbishop of Vien- na, would be read at the congress, and that the views of the Pope would be expressed in a letter. It was expected that the congress would adjourn today and that a report of its activities might be read to Roman Catholic congrega- tions August 28. Many dignitaries were said to be eager to close the breach between German and Aus trian bishops on the ground that the church ought to present a solid front, particularly as regards Ger many.
 Austrian bishops did not attend the Fulda Congress. They will hold their own meeting at Salzburg.

 Kingston, Ont, tug. 18.-(UP) President Roosevelt told an audience at Queens University today that "the people of the United States will not stand idly by" if Canada is threat ened by foreign power. In an ad- dress pitched on the theme good neighborliness among the nations of the American continents, Mir RooSe- welt spoke ominously of "Wanton brutality" and "undemocratic regi- mentation" in other nations. We in the Americas are no longer a far away continent, to which the eddies of controversies beyond the seas could bring no interest and no harm he said. Instead, we in the Americas have become considera- tion to every propaganda office and to every general staff beyond the seas. The vast amount of our re- sources, the yigor of our commerce and the strength of our men have made us vital factors in world peace whether we choose or not.

MISINFORMATlON

The misinformation that sometimes gets into the
newspapers is either funny Notwithstanding
on ones temperament.
recent editorial in the Chattanooga News, re-
printed without comment by the Charlotte Observer
on July l7th takes the cake Lamenting the plight
of the southern farmer in having to pay so much
for what he uses on account of high protective
tariff on those articles and not having protection
for the products he has to SELL this newspaper gives
us the following analysis:
ut takes four bales of hay to buy ptchfork;
eighty bushels of corn to buy turning pillow; two
bushels of corn to buy bushel of meal; forty gal
Ions of milk to buy a cream can; five bushels OF
wheat to fill Ford gas tank; four cow hides to
buy cheap pair Of work shoes; and twelve million
pounds of cotton to build the Boulder Dam"
Without attempting to refute the statement that
manu- featured articles needed by the farmer Is m
ordnately high on account of protective tariff,
we can with some degree of accuracy coming from
observation in this particular section Of the South,
say that the Chattanooga editor is wrong IN his de-
auctions.
In the first place pitchfork costs only 81, while
four bales of hay sells for IS. The great trouble
here is that the farmer in these parts has to buy
both the hay and the pitchfork good turning
pillow with all the extra profit made possible by a
protective tariff federal taxes, sales tax hlgh cost
of transportation etc. costs $l2, while 80 bushels
of corn-whch the small farmer seldom has to sell
brought even in 1880, around 1928 As for eX-
changing two bushels of corn for bushel OF meal,
there are still places in the South where the farmer
can get his corn ground for the same old one-eighth
toll which has prevailed for the past 200 years;
provided he can spare the time from raising cheap
cotton to take the turn" to the mill.
No. the trouble is not altogether with high cost
of manufactured products used by the farmer; but
largely because he buys much he should produce

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
IMPARTIAL INQUIRY DEMANDED

On the face of the press reports of the congress
sional investigation of the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority now under way at Knoxville, it has begun
to appear as if some of those having vital and
highly important part in the inquiry opposed
to having all pertinent facts brought out
Ostensibly the purpose of congress in authoriz-
ing the investigation and appropriatiag funds for
financing it was to bring out all possible informa-
ton that would throw light the activities of the
IVA for the benefit and enlightenment of congress
and the American people, that they might judge as
to whether the ousted chairman, Dr. Arthur f. Nor
gam had grounds for the grave charges he had been
lodging against his fellow directors.
Chairman Morgan's charges of very grave
nature and statements he has made during the
early days of the investigation, if anything, add to
the gravity and Importance of the inquiry.
But it seems that Francis Biddle chief counsel
for the investigating committee, and incidentally
loyal supporter of the deal, has conceived IL to
be his function to defend and protect David Lilien
thai and Dr. Harcourt Morgan and convict the de-
posed chairman of the iva, rather than to lead
the way in an impartial fact-inding probe designed
and conducted to bring all pertinent facts to light
for the information of the public and congress.
And so it developed early in the investigation
that he the counsel for the committee, had decreed
or agreed that the deposed Chairman Morgan should
not talk with any of the thousands of IVA en-
ployes whose chief he for years, except in the
presence of the counsel for the committee while no
such restriction imposed, so far as it appears
against their talking freely with any and all enc
mics and antagonists of DR.. Arthur Morgan. Is that
an example of impartiality?
1t is no cause for wonder that the investigation
was thrown into turmoil by the revelation nor that

tee told Biddle publicly that "you will do tins com

that the Muskin Shoe Co., of Westminster, Md,
violated the Wagner Act when it permitted an en-
ploye to distribute pamphlet containing an attack
upon the C. l. o. by Representative Clare F. Hotf-
man of Michigan.
1T was evident from the pamphlet itself that it
was prepared as anti-unon literature and any dis
tribution thereof by employer to his employees
would have the necessary effect of coercion and
intimidation within the meaning of the act" the
