Federal Use Of Credit
Praised by Farley

LOS ANGELES, March 11.-There
Is mot a shred of tangible evidence
to support critics of national ad-
ministration policy who Insist that
industry would have jumped ahead
to full capacity if President Roose-
welt had only sat back, done Moth
ing and let nature take its course" )"
Postmaster General James Farley
said in a speech here today.
"On the contrary" Mr.. Farley as
serted, ''it is plain to fair-minded
people that industry, by its own ef-
forts, never could have escaped
from the wreckage of debts and
bankruptcy left by the depression.
For the President to refuse the
use of the Federal credit to relieve
the sufferings of the people would
have been short-sighted and inhu-
man"
Mr.. Farley spoke at ceremonies
dedicating the new s6,0OO,000 Fed
eral building and post office
He referred to the wise Federal
policy which made possible the con-
struction of this building and others
like It," and said:
you know from experience that
without the generous aid of Uncle
Sans pocketbook this land of thriv-
ing industry and diversified agri-
culture would not be in the ad-
vanced stage of development that

threw it behind him.

1t was early in the morning.
Roughleg the Hawk sat in the top
of a tall, lone tree from which he
could see all over the Green Mea-
dows, now covered deep with snow.
1t was the morning on which he
and Reddy were to hunt together
for Danny Meadow Mouse. He won-
dered If Reddy would come. In spite
OF himself he couldn't help but fee!
that there was some trick. He
simply couldn't trust Reddy Fox,
that was all, which shows how sad
thing it is to have q bad name.
But, presently he saw Reddy COM

Meadow Mouse. He hoped not, be-
cause, you know, he hoped to catch
Danny himself.
But Reddy began to dig franti-
cally. Roughleg knew that this was
a signal for him. He spread his
great wings and in almost no time
at all he was high in the air right
above where Reddy Fox was so
excitedly digging. Looking down,
Roughleg could see everything
beneath him as plainly as If he were
only two or three feet above the
snow instead of high in the air. You
know his eyes are very wonderful.
He could go the funny little tracks

was something in one of them!
Roughleg silently sailed directly
over that particular doorway. A
little gray nose was poking out and
that was all. 1t was cautious Nanny
Meadow Mouse. Her little beady
eyes were fixed on Reddy Fox. Not
once did she look up. Roughleg
hesitated. If he shot down swiftly
and struck deep in the snow with
his claws he might catch her. Just
then, out of another little round
doorway popped Danny himself. He
didn't just poke his nose out; he
came right out wholly. Roughleg
with Just q turn Of his wings sailed

ing down from the Old Pasture
where his home is. Straight out on
the snow-covered Green Meadows
Reddy trotted and over toward the
place where Danny Meadow Mouse
lives. AS he drew near he suddenly
crouched close to the snow and
didn't move. Roughleg knew by that
that he saw Danny Meadow Mouse.
He had watched Reddy hunt so many,
many times, that he knew exactly
where Danny was and just what
Reddy would do next. Sure enough
Reddy suddenly sprang forward.
For . second Roughleg was afraid
that Reddy had caught Danny

right above Danny and there for
a second or two he seemed to be
perfectly still in the air. Danny
didn't once look up.
Look up, Danny! Look up!"
Danny looked. Then just like a
flash, he dived down through the
little round doorway beside him.
There was the sharp whistle Of air
against stiff wing-feathers and the
snow flew as Roughleg's great claws
plunged into 1t. Down below there
was q sQueal Of terror. Then the
great wings Of Roughleg began to
nap, and hs rose heavily.

Fox, eagerly. Then he saw that
Roughleg's claws were empty. A
look of disgust swept over Ruddy's
face. "a great hunter you are!
What's the matter with you any
way?" He snapped Grossly.

One has only to realize that the
Lewis prestige already was on the

been exerting has been shown in its
true colors. When these are coupled
with the fact that he stopped to
make the personal Life of national

some think he started the machin-

Foctions of Democratic
Party Split Further Asunder

The influence of the Lewis state
ment does not stop there, however,
for there is a definite cleavage in
the ranks of the majority party al
ready. It is to be remembered in
this connection that the backbone
of the Democratic party has been
the "solid South" The South, gen.
orally speaking, has clung to con-
sentative ways and modes of living
and has maintained traditions which
have served its people well. That
viewpoint is quite contrary to the
New Deal and to the Presidents
advisors of this month. Nor have
the Presidents advisors enjoyed the
knowledge that lot of Mr.. Gamers
friends have been pushing him very
hard for the party nomination In
1910. Naturally, these folks around
the White House are the leaders IN
the plan to have President Roose-
welt seek a precedent-breaking third
term. They do not like to see man
become too popular or who might
offer real resistance to a Roosevelt
nomination.
From these facts, it becomes more
or less obvious that the Lewis at
tack on Mr.. Garner constitutes
something of bombshen in splitting
the two factions of the Democratic
party further asunder. With the
Lewis record of support of every
thing new dealish, it can not fail to
convince voters of the brand of Gar
ner democracy
There is still a further phase or
sphere of influence to be mentioned.
Mr.. Garner has long been known as
a conservative Democrat and he has
long been powerful in the councils of
his party. To enter upon an assump-
ton, then, that he may be the Demo-
cratic nominee next year, where
does that leave the Republicans? Re
publican leadership has been steer
ing to the right, to the conservative
side, as far as they have shown
their hand. The question to be asked
after that statement is, where does
that leave the New Dealers?
