what. if any part, might be legally
Objectionable.
Mr.. Dempsey told the commission
it was not possible, without hearing
testimony on each part of the ex-
hibit, to determine whether the mat
ter was Objectionable in the record.
Mr.. Hennessey pointed out that
the volume was prepared at great
expense in response to orders of
the commission. and that 1t repre-
sented the shortest and most COM
plete method under which the data
called for could be prepared. He
added that he was very much afraid
that it would be rather painful for
the commission to sit through the
explanations of the exhibits, but
said that nevertheless he wanted to
assure the commission that it had
been just as painful for the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. to have it
prepared.
Chairman McNinch then per-
mitted the examination of w. C.
Lent, engineer of the broadcasting
company, to proceed. Mr.. Lent was
discussing the exhibits when the
commission took its noon recess.

cations Commissions monopoly in
vestigation along for many months
was expressed today by Chairman
Frank r. McNinch, presiding at the
hearing.
The pronouncement came when
the National Broadcasting Co. coun-

Identification a 317-page volume,
full of maps and statistical tabula-
tions purporting to relate to pro-
gram duplication. which, it was ex-
planned, had required 10000 man
hours to prepare.
Chairman McNinch took one look
at the volume and said that if such
exhibits were admitted, to be identi-
fled by long oral examination of
several witnesses, the committee
would be occupied for months by
these alone. He asked William j.
Dempsey, commission general coun-
sci, whether he had had time to

Eden Unofficial
British Emissary
On Trip toU. 5.
Has fullest Approval
Of Government,
HoIifox Says

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec 1.-Anthony Eden's
trip to the United States to address
the National Association Of Manu-
facturers will have the British gov
ernments fullest assent and appro-
bation."
Viscount Halifax, foreign secre-
tary, indicated that Mr.. Eden virtu-
ally would be an unofficial govern
ment representative when he told
the House of Lords last night that
the visit would be extremely valu-
able for establishment Of the same
contacts Lord Runciman made"
Viscount Runciman, then presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, went to
the United States in 1887 to explore
ground for the new British-Amer-
ican trade agreement.
Lord Halifax, who became foreign
secretary when Eden resigned last
February 20 in protest against the
foreign policies of Prime Minister
Chamberlain, made his disclosure in
answer to the charge of Lord Stra-
bolgi, Labor peer, that the govern
ment was "neglecting" the United
States.
while Mr.. Eden is not minister
at the present time" Lord Halifax
answered, "the right honorable gen.
tleman is going there with the full
est assent and appreciation of the
government"
Regardless of whether the foreign
secretary's phrase "at present" had
any prophetic intent, Mr.. Eden was
expected to report to Mr.. Chamber
lain on any conversation he may
have with President Roosevelt.
eRonald Tree, a grandson of Mar
shall Field, who has spent much of
his life in the United States, will
accompany Mr.. Eden to New York
and Washington.

Mr.. Roosevelt has said with en-

these things will work He believes
they should not be propagated and
spread, because he recognizes how
easily miserable humanity can be
lead off at tangent. 1t is a type
of hysterla, an emotion. The Presi-
dent, however, must not dodge re-
sponsibility for part of it. AS I
said above, his methods have been
conducive to hysteria of several
kinds. These panaceas that threat
en- again to cause grief for his adj
ministration are but an outgrowth of
the numerous plans that have been
given birth by various persons in
official position. True, they have
been fed by the dregs of hard times,
but they had their encouragement
first from illogical phases of the
New Deal.
Truer words were never spoken
than President Roosevelt uttered at
Pittsburgh, Pa, in his 1892 cam
paign when he said: "Any govern
ment, like any family, can for
year spend little more than it
earns, but you and I know that a
continuation of the habit means the
poor house." Adoption of any of the
pension schemes, whatever their
variation from the Townsend plan
may be, means the poor house be.

it is certain also that those who con-

would be forced into paying higher

That is, the possessor would be buy

At his office in Fleet street, Pub
Usher Godfrey Dawson decided that
wisdom was the better part of val
or. Next morning his London Times
put in black and white what Eng
lands conservative Cliveden set has
thought all along: That Britain had
best let Adolf Hitler cede CZecho-
slovakia's Sudeten territory If no
other settlement would satisfy him.
Nor did Der Fuehrer appear con-
tent with anything less. While nerv-
Gus France protested such an idea
and rushed troops into her amazing
Maginot line like gophers rush to
their holes, all eyes converged not
on London or Prague, but on MUIR
emberg where the Nazi party was
holding its annual congress and
clam bake.
There, Chancellor Hitler found the
spotlight's rays pleasantly warm. In
the first of his eight speeches he
made clear Germany's determina-

DoWney Plan Would Make
Trouble for Neu Dealers

Then, | believe | foreSee some
other trouble respecting such war;
rants as Mr.. Downey's scheme pro-
poses; not that I think his plan is
worse than\any others but it serves
as an Illustration. It is proposed
that the possessor put two-cent
state stamp on the warrant for each
week in his possession, or So such
stamps in a year. Well, imagine
that the warrants would be in the
hands of many persons who had no
cash at all-not cent. Immediate
ly, there would be a cry go up to
have the state supply the stamps
free, and it is quite certain that
there would be some politicians dis
honorable enough to campaign for
office on that issue.
Now, assume that Mr.. Downey
comes to the senate; assume that
he is elected over his Republican
opponent in November. I seem to
scent some added trouble for Pres
ident Roosevelt and his New Deal
friends who have been promising
too many things and too much of
them. Of course, many persons be-
ieve that Mr.. Roosevelt's methods
to date have encouraged all kinds of
quackeries because he has talked
at length of humanitarianism. He
has aroused the minds of elderly
persons who are suffering under
conditions not of their own making.
He has likewise aroused a lot of
f1abby Drained individuals among
the younger people who live on il
lusions. 1t is made to appear that
congressional leaders, seeking to
follow presidential policies, are 60
ing to be confronted with frequent
bulges for national pensions of a
kind that no nation can bear.
The number and type of these
panaceas GIBBS and flows with the
economic tide. When business is
good and there is plenty of work,
when Storekeepers are able to sell
and people are able to buy, we hear
little or nothing of the dream-world
children of the Townsends and the
Downeys and the others. When
there are "hard times" and there
are thousands upon thousands with
out work and food and clothes, those
suffering minds become easy prey
to the silver tongue.
Pursuing the thought bit further,
it then becomes possible for a move
ment which demands not $50 every
Thursday for persons over so, but
one demanding $40 or $50 every Fri
day or $50 every Saturday. The
amounts can be pushed up and up
and the fervor of the suffering un-
der this illusion grows greater and
greater. And always, such move
ments provide the breeding ground
for other racketeers who want to
promote dissension and dissatisfac-
ton. Always, too, there will be po-
litical champions for the "cause"
whatever it may be, because there
is something, some halo, about pub
lie office that will lead men into the
strangest views.
