Baptist annual convention were
ended today with a criticism of
Baptist preachers.
Pastors can be blamed for spirit
ual darkness" abroad in the land,
said r. G. Campbell, Dallas, at the
final assembly.
Some preachers should quit talk
ing about topics of the day and
get back to the message of the
ages" he declared. They're preach
ing as If truth were fiction; they're
substituting palatable platitudes
for spiritual teaching.
1T has been said II we preachers
would dig deeper during the week
we would not bore so much on
Sunday"
DR.. L. R. Scarborough, Fort Worth,
Tex. president of the convention
and DR.. Roland c. Leavell, Atlanta,

named to meet representatives Of
the Northern Baptist Convention
in Chicago Tuesday to plan a ma

adopted a declaration of religious
independence. most of the 10000
delegates to the convention started
homeward and left last nights clos
ing session in the hands of their

The conventions decision to make

DR.. Leavel said 256814 were bap-
tized last year--the largest number
of converts in the history of the

~ the Associated Press.
Secretary of Interior Ickes was
reported today to be working ac-
lively on Capitol Hill for a new
$500, 1000, 900 approprition for the
Public Works Administration.
Several Senators said he had
urged them to support such an
outlay on the ground that public
works expenditures are more ef-
fective than w. P. A. funds in
stimulating business. and in addi-
ton, creating permanent national
assets.
Secretary Ickes said last week
that there would be need for more
relief spending in the year begin
ming July /. He said he had al
ways contended that there is no
better way to do it than through
public works"
Public works were not included
In a preliminary draft of spend
ing-lending program under consid-
Grafton by some administration ad-
visers. One Senator expressed the
opinion that President Roosevelt
regarded P. w. A. expenditures as
cumbersome and not Immediately
effective.
New Spending Bill Opposed.
A new spending bill was opposed
In a radio forum last night by Sen
ator Vandenberg, Republican of
Michigan, who declared that Santa
Claus spenders are pushing us
too close to bankruptcy for COM
fort"
AS an economy measure he ad-
vocates postponing all new Gov
ernment enterprises not immediate
ly essential. He added:
I'VE can clean house, wherever
possible, in respect to existing
undertakings. We can rip politics
out OF pay rolls. We can once more
put horizontal reduction on all
Federal salaries in the higher
brackets. We can quit boondog-
Cling"
In reply, Senator Minton, Demo-
crat, of Indiana argued that the
Government must continue spend
ing until private business can put
the idle back to work. Borrowing
and spending, he said. were not New
Deal creations but were necessary
to prosperity.
Whenever the calamity howlers
tell you the Nation Is broke" Sen
ator Minton said, you just remind
them that in 1882 Uncle Sans bonds
were selling for 80 and now they
sell above 100, and draw the lowest
rate Of interest ever paid by this
Government"
Besides the proposed spending
bill, another fiscal problem giving
concern to congressman and admin
istration officials is revision of busi-
ness taxes.
Compromise Agreement Seen.
There have been reports that the
undistributed profits tax, criticized
by many businessmen, would be
modified under compromise
agreement by President Roosevelt
and Chairman Harrison, Democrat,
of Mississippi OF the Senate Finance
Committee

tered on taxes and spending, the

interests of France, from whatever

His declaration followed a state

The prime minister said the Brit

by French Foreign Minister Georges
Bonnet that 'tall forces of Great Bri-

France, just as all forces of France
would be at the disposal of Great
Britain in case of war in which the
two countries were invo.ved."

Says Inquiry
Of Insurance
Is Justified

Washington, Feb. 6.-(AF)-Chair-
man William o. Douglas, Of the Sc
curities Commission, told the "tem-
porary national economic committee
today that the Spectacular" growth
of insurance companies since 1906
alone justified an inquiry into their
economic influence.
Douglas. who was the first witness
called by the monopoly committee in
it's investigation into insurance COM
pany investments, said insurance
firms had cooperated fully with the
SEC. He emphasized that he was in
no way questioning the adequacy of
the companies reserves.
"No policy holders need have any
concern" he said, that any fact
brought out in this inquiry will in
any way jeopardize the protection
which they count upon through their
insurance policies"
The witness paid tribute to the
work of the so-called Armstrong COM
nnittee, a joint New York State legis
lative committee which investigated
life insurance companies there in 1905.
The work of the committee, which
employed Charles Evans Hughes, now
chief Justice of the United States, as
counsel, has long been recognized,
Douglas said, IAN an outstanding con-
tribution to an understanding of the
problems of finance"
