VICTORY IN SIGHT

PORTSMOUTH. N. H., July 13.- On the verge of complete vic- tory, the Navy suffered at least a temporary delay in raising the Squalus and her 26 dead to the full 85-foot level set as the goal for the first lift
 Virtually the entire length of the submarine was lifted clear of the muddy bottom by the cradle Of seven pontoons.
 The tremendous weight of the waterfilled stern held that end of the craft on or near the bottom.
 Navy officers early this after noon announced they expected the Squalus to rise at any moment.

 The bulk of the travel to Mexico and Canada is, of course, by auto mobile and the tourists are inclined to be matter of fact. To an automo- bile tourist spade is a spade. One Yankee traveller in Canada, after reporting that the roads were not especially good, added.
 "The inadequate toilet facilities at practically all gasoline filling stations stood out"
 "Our greatest handicap" ob- served a Texan traveller in Canada, twas in the natives inability to understand us in small towns. Iron ical as it is, very few of Britain's subjects in Canada can speak or understand English"

The Political Mill
Roosevelt Apparently Accepts Challenge
In Economy-Aid Business Demand

The President, while he was still
away. sent messages to William
Green, president Of the American
Federation Of Labor, and John
Lewis. President of the Congress of
Industrial Organizations, urging
them to make peace. It is the
Presidents belief that peace in the
ranks of organized labor would be q
long step toward aiding industry.
It should be step in that direc-
ton, but there Is no certainty that
1t would. OF one thing there is no
doubt, however, and that is peace
between the A. F. Of L. and the
c. I. O. would be a political asset
Of the Roosevelt New Dealers.
William Green has just come for
ward with a demand that the Sen.
ate Committee on Education and
Law. headed by Senator Thomas of
Utah. no longer put of hearings on
the federation's proposed amend
ments of the National Labor Rela-
tions Act. Green and the fedora
ton leaders have insisted that the
law as it now stands is entirely un-
fair since 1t gives the Roosevelt Ma
tional Labor Relations Board op-
portunity to favor the C. I. o. at
the expense Of the federation.
Peace May Quiet Issue.
1t has been obvious that New
Dealers who oppose any amend
ment of the National Labor Rela-
tions Act have been hopeful that
a peace would be arrived at between
the Green and Lewis forces and
then 1t might be possible to duck
any amendment of the Labor Rela-
tions Act. whether business wanted
any such amendment or not. Mr..
Green's demand that the Congress
go right ahead with the considera-
ton of amendments to the labor act
strikes discordant note, nor does
1t give much hope that the peace
which is now sought between the
two great labor organizations is near
attainment.
President Roosevelt it Is now re-
ported looks with favor on the
Barkley amendment to the National
Defense Act, which would prevent
the Government doing business with
concerns which were in any way
unfair to labor as determined. ap-
parently. by the Labor Board or any
other organization or agency. With
the National Labor Relations Act,
guaranteeing labor the right of COL
lective bargaining. in full effect. the
! Barkley amendment would seem to
be superfluous. The amendment,
! however, is couched in vague Ian
guage and might turn out to be a
boomerang, either to industry or to
labor or both.
Insists Money Needed.
The President in his message to
Congress asking that the additional
$3.50 900 900 be appropriated for the
w. P. A., insists that he is not just
asking for money for relief without
ample consideration; that 1t is es-
sential unless large number Of
Americans are to suffer. The men,
bers of Congress who are opposed to
this increase are no more willing
than the President that Americans
shall suffer. But they are anxious
to be convinced that this large ad-
ditional sum Of money is neces.
sary.
There is only one way for the
country to know-a thorough public
investigation by congressional
committee Unless all the facts are
brought out, it will be impossible
for Congress to deal with this ques-
ton intelligently, but whether such
an inquiry will be permitted Is an
other matter.

retary Morgenthau Of the Treasury
Department in recent days.
The President has reiterated his
demand for an additional $3.50 600 900
for the w. P. A. for the remainder
of the fiscal year which ends June 80
next. That is fiat notice to the
economy supporters that the admin
istration has not changed. and now
it appears the President is soft
pedaling the suggestion made by
Messrs. Hopkins and Morgenthau
that taxes which hamper business
are to be revised at the present
session Of Congress.
Hailed As Prime Factor.
This proposed tax revision. de-
signed to wipe out or reduce particu-
larly taxes which are believed to
make 1t difficult for business to
expand. has been hailed as the key
stone OF the new arch OF Government
aid to business First Mr.. Morgen-
thau mentioned the probability that
tax amendments Of this nature
would be submitted. Then Mr.. Hop
kins made rather definite commit
ments in his Iowa speech, when he
declared that the New Deal admin
istration would put the emphasis on
recovery" and that the days Of
reform were past. And now Senator
Barkley. majority leader of the Sem
ate and presumably speaking with
full knowledge of what the Pres
ident has in mind, declared that he
doubted very much that any tax
revisions to aid business would be
undertaken at this time.
Senator Barkley pointed out that
the Government is not in any posi-
ton to accept reduction in reve-
nues, and heaven knows it is not,
and that If business taxes are to
be reduced in some respects. they
must be increased in others. He
ventured the remark that perhaps
business can get along better know
ing what it has to face under the
present tax laws than it could with
uncertainty about new tax laws.
This was damper enough. and the
President so far has done nothing
to lift the fog which seems to be de-
scending upon industry again.
1t is noticeable that the admins
tration spokesmen are now saying
the New Deal has never been un-
friendly to business. but that it has
aimed to aid business ever since
President Roosevelt entered the
White House and declared a New
Deal. There is no reason, there
fore, for an "appeasement' program
designed to give business greater
confidence. Well, this may be the
belief of the administration but de-
cidedly it is not the belief of a great
many men and women engaged in
industry and business.
Go Ahead Signal Fails.
The business world. and Congress,
are still waiting for the program OF
assistance to business, proclaimed
by Secretary Hopkins a few weeks
ago, to be implemented. TIE whole
affair seems to have slowed down
