POLICY OF DESTRUCTION
It is perfectly clear. that what
is desired at Washington is a sub
servient congress that will dele
gate it's power to the executive
branch and to the bureaus operat-
ing under that branch. 1t is clear
that the executive branch desires
men in the congress who will do
just what. they are told to do.
This is destruction of parliament

struction of parliamentary gov
ernment by the appropriating
power of the parliament itself.

with which the congress is con-
trolled. ....

Himalaya Peak
Defies Climbers

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 81.
UP)-A young English instruc-
tor who, as a member of an Amer
lean Alpine club expedition, climb

crest of Mount Godwin-Austen IN
the Himalayas this summer, be-
lieves the worlds second highest

litical party.

mas tree to which they must look
for all sorts of gifts. Elections
cease to be the means Of govern
ment and become the means Of
money benefits. Politics becomes
a system of seeing who can get
the most out of the government.
For these reasons, / call upon
the American people in this
election, regardless of political
party, to exact from every can
didate for house and senate a
pledge that he will vote to take
all public expenditures out of
political control.
We should establish a non-par-
tisan commission of high class
men who will see to it that relief
and pump-priming money shall be
expended for the purpose for
which it was intended and not to
perpetuating anyone in power, or
to keeping any man in office. We
must see to it that the. victims of
unemployment and those on the
WPA are delivered from political
control. ....-
We should also pledge every
candidate to vote to place every
body having the distribution of
these funds under strict civil
service regulations.
Finally, we should pledge every
candidate for a seat in the house
or senate or for governor to the
enactment of a strong corrupt
practices act imposing the penalty
of imprisonment and fine, upon
any man in public office who at
tempts to use public money for
any political purpose.

Senator Hatch of New Mexico in
troduced a very mild amendment
to the big four billion dollar APP
preparation bill and after a hot
contest it was defeated. This
amendment was a step in the
right direction and would have
done much good. If you will read
the debate on this subject, YOU
will see the lineup against sena-
tor Hatch's amendment. 1t was
stated in emphatic terms that we
ought not to impose penalties up
on men distributing the public
money for political purposes; that
we should not restrain men in

using the money for public pur-
poses. | consider this the most
sinister hour in the congress since

should be done under the circum-
stances. He may not have intend
ed it, but it was very clear con-
sequence, which any man might
have foreseen.
This whole affair has reached a
rather shameless point. Many
candidates for congress are boast
ing this year of their capacity to
get projects. Many senator's and
representatives have a great hest
fancy in opposing anything that
Mr.. Ickies or Mr.. Hopkins or the
president calls upon them to sup
port, lest they lose standing and
will not be able to get projects;
they fear that they will be black
listed and that appropriations Of
the congress of which they are
members will be used to defeat
them and to elect their opponents.
EVIDENCE is PLAIN
All of this requires no proof.
The facts are here in the presence
VI 10 Clll dS "llHSSSNS.
If this situation is permitted
TO go on, any administration
would be able to perpetuate
itself in power. First it would
demand sufficient funds of con-
gress. If ten billion dollars is
not enough, it might call for
fifteen billions.
Every member of the congress
would be notified that if he does
not vote for the money, the
money will be used against him
and in behalf of some opponent
who would vote for as much or
more in a future congress. That
amounts to corruption of the cleo
torate of America.
We are confronted, therefore,
with simple facts: Public money
and the credit is now being used
widely throughout the country for
the purpose of political control.
We put limit on contributions
to be received by candidates. 1t is
unlawful in the State of North
Carolina for any candidate for the
house or senate to spend more
than $4,000 in a campaign, but
there is no limit to relief projects,
and senators who are allowed to
raise only $4,000 privately have
to confront men who raise tens OF
millions publicly.
We have denounced and even
driven out of the senate men
who received as much as $780,
900 or 100000 in their cam
paigns for seats in the senate,
but we seem to acoiuesce in the
expenditure of hundreds of mil
lions of public money to elect
men to the senate and the
house.
Control by public money is
worse than control by private
money, because there is really nc
limit to the public money.

Increased Sales From Here
Range From Al to
90 Percent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. (uP);;
Rejecting the strong hnanciai
position of the Philippines IN
1887, the United States sold goods
valued at $S5,O2S,OO0 to the is
lands last year, preliminary an
nual report O fthe commerce de-
partment reveals.
This was gain of Al per cent
over the previous year and ~ per
cent over 1888, the recent low
level in United States-Phihppines
trade. The value of United States
exports to the islands last year
was the third highest in the his
tory of trade between the two
countries.
In 1920, when commodity
prices were abnormally high, the
value of exports was $99,S3O, 900.
During the 1929 boom the value
was S85,530,000, only slightly
more than last years figure.
JAPANESE IMPORTS DOWN
Among the notable features of
the report was the gain in con-
sumption of American cotton
manufacturers and slump in the
importation of japanese cotton
products. AS result of the Slno-
Japanese war, imports of Japan
csc piece goods fell short of the
: quota provided in the American
japanese textile agreement.
Toward the close of the year,
the department reported, Ameri-
can exporters were receiving or
ders for piece goods that they had
not shipped to the islands for
years.
The Philippines imported Amer
lean cotton goods, excepting no.
siery, valued at $10,800,000 in
1887, compared with $6,428,0 900
in 1885. Other factors favoring
United States importations was
the higher purchasing power in
the Philippines and the smaller
shipments of piece goods from
China and Hong Kong.
The Philippines regained its
position last year as the principal
outlet for cotton piece goods from
the United States, surprising Gu
ba, which held first place from
1884 to 1886. The total value of
all U. S. cotton manufacturers to
the Philippines was $1O,903, 900,
an increase of &c per cent over
1886.

COMPROMISE IN
 LIMA DEADLOCK
United States, Argentine Are Split-Delegates
 May Settle Clash
By HOBART c. MONTEE Copyright, 1888, by United Press)

Lima, Peru, Dec. 2O.-UP)-A compromise proposal on a declara- tion of continental solidarity, de- signed to end a deadlock between United States and Argentine dele gations, was circulated today among delegates to the eighth Pan-Ameri- can conference.
 The compromise, drawn up by Carlos Concha and Afranio De Mello Franco, chief delegates of Peru and Brazil, would bind the 21 Pan- American republics to present a united front against aggression by either an American or a non-Amer. lcan nation. Not only armed ag- gression but any other activity, such as political penetration, which might impair the national institu- tions of an American republic, would call for united action.
 May Be Compromise
 There were indications that the compromise enaft might be further revised after conferences among chief delegates. As it stands, the compromise represents victory for Argentina in that it includes ag- greSsion by an American nation against another American nation. Secretary of State Cordell Hull, chief of the United States delega- tion. had held out for plain state ment that the American republics would stand united against aggres- sion by non-American nation. SD that the American republics would tell the European dictators to keep out.
 Concha and Mello Franco used a revised draft of the original Arneri- can solidarity proposal in formulat- ing their compromise. The United States won a minor victory in that the compromise draft strengthens machinery for consultation among the foreign ministers of the repub- lies.
 The revised American draft had sought to approach the Argentine viewpoint by specifying that a united stand would be taken against
