DIES TANGLE
in DISPUTE

! WASHINGTON (FP) - President
Roosevelt and Rep. Martin Dies ID.
Tex.) undertook to settle their juris
here November 20 after the Texas
hawkshaw cooled his heels in the
Presidents antechamber for an hour
The conference was held upon the
Presidents invitation and after bit
ter exchange of verbal blows between
Dies and Attorney General Robert
| Jackson
Results of the conference, which
lasted approximately so minutes, were
yelled in mystery but it appeared that
Dies had Jared none too we'll.
"I'm going to do the job that con-
gress gave u.s." was all that the blus-
tering Texan could muster by way of
comment.
Preceding Dies into the presidential
sanctum was Gardner Jackson, former
official of Labor's Non Partisan
League who had conducted a bitter
war with Dies and who had produced
documents, later shown to have been
forged under mysterious circum-
stances, which linked Dies with VIM
Dudley Policy, Silver Shirt head.
Jackson was admitted to the presi-
dents office at five minutes to twelve
and he stayed there until 1926. Dies
appointment was for a quarter to
twelve and he set in the outer office
until 20 minutes to one
When Jackson came out he declined
to divulge the subject of conversation
but responded, ''That would be good
guess" when asked whether he had
talked about the Dies committee with
the President
AS prelude to the conference be-
tween Dies and the President, Mr..
Roosevelt sent Dies telegram stating
that ut is clear that the constitution
of the U. S. lodges the executive re-
sponsibility in the hands of the Presi-
dent and that, therefore, continuing
administrative duties in relation to IL
legal activities lies in the executive
branch of the government and not in
the legislative branch"

ing after their organization meeting.
The treasurer Mr.. Perrin Lyman re-
ported that five new members had
made application for shares of stock
in the credit union which now has a
total of AZ shareholders. The area in
which the Great Falls Co-operators
can operate is restricted by law to
within 25-mile radius of Great Falls.
At the present time the credit union
has about $4,000 in the treasury avail
able to loan to its members No ap-
plication for loans have been made
yet, however the board of directors
and the credit committee are antici-
pating the holidays close at hand that
some Of the members will be needing
some assistance and that loans will
be made shortly. After all if the
money is not loaned out and kept
working where it will do the most
good the real purpose of the credit
union is somewhat defeated.
The board of directors want to take
this means to request any member
of the Great Falls Co-operators if
needing money to please make appli-
cation for a loan to Perrin Lyman
at Great Falls.

MENA, Ark.-(FP) Commonwealth
College, for II years a training school
for labor leaders from all parts of the
country, has been stripped Of all its
movable possessions by county Off
Gals, with the approval of the Arkan-
sas high courts.
The seizure was made by consta-
BILE and state policeman who drove
out to the school, IL miles from Mena.
They hauled away five truckloads of
property, including 10 head of cattle,
Ii hogs, mules, Diesel power plant,
pumping unit, a printing press, more
than 1000 books, office, kitchen and
dining-room equipment.
The property was scheduled to be
sold at auction December to satisfy
a $4,000 fine for anarchy" assessed
against the college by justice Of
the peace several weeks ago. The
case has never been heard by jury
Theoretically if the school wins it's
trial the money received from the
sale will be returned. Actually not
more than small percentage of the
value of the property will be bid at
the sale and the school will have no
means of recovering its property. The
procedure is so clearly confiscatory
that county sheriff refused to serve
the writ of sale, according to The st.
Louis Post-Dispatch. The Arkansas
supreme court once halted the sale,
but later dissolved its restraining in
junction.

turn over its plant to the Southern
Drama School of the New Theater
when it was raided for teaching an
archy" Evidence consisted of various
books and pamphlets seized in the
library office, failure to display an
American flag and display of an il
legal emblem" The emblem" was a
collection of scrap iron set in the
house, said to resemble a hammar
and sickle.
The only semblance of trial took
place before Justice of the Peace Glen
Brown in Mena. Representatives of
the college requested a change of
venue. This was refused. When the
justice turned the courtroom into a
forum for college opponents who had
never been ON the campus, Common
wealth officials walked out The JUS
tice finished his trial" and imposed
a $1,000 fine.
The seizure apparently marks the
end of career in which Common
wealth was holly attacked by reac-
tionaries in Arkansas and elsewhere
and as holly defended by its alumni
and friends. The school was founded
in 1928 by Kate Richards O'Hare,
William E. Zeuch and other former
members of the New Llano colony in
Louisiana. For some time it operated
as a general school, without examina-

"Who is backing the Council for
Democracy? Who paid for its adver
tisements, costing as much as $4,000
a page? What is its ultimate pur
pose?" These questions are answered
in the current issue of In Fact.
Originally called the Co-ordinating
Council for Democracy, this organiza
ton which got nationwide attention
via radio and press November 6 and
T. was started in midsummer at the
time the press informed the American
people it could be sure they would
not be called into the European war
and the confidential newsletters said
we are on the way to war"
According to In Fact, Henry Luce of
TIME, LIFE, and FORTUNE supplied
both money and personnel for the
Councils operation. Luce sent Doug
las Auchincloss from Life's promotion
department as executive secretary,
Luce paying" Also active is Robert
Sherwood bellicose playwright" who
delivered an impassioned address
against using the word Democracy
in title because America remembered
the fraud about making the world
safe for Democracy" The. council
also had the advice of IS. Stanwood
Menken, one of Americas leading ma
tive fascists," who addressed the
Council, warned against following
Liberty League tactics, suggested get
ting labor representatives to make it
look democratic. S. Stanwood Men
ken was one of Americas chief de-
tenders Of the murderous General
Franco. He was also exposed as a

connected with the Council is John
Price Jones, public relations counsel
lor Zones gained his notoriety when
he received 100000 to handle publicity
for the Johnstown Citizens Commit
tee. which helped break the Little

Ninety percent of the first list of
directors were businessmen or bank
ers. The present list leans stronger
to writer's, advertising men, propagan
da names. Three of the board of di-
rectors are: Herbert Agar, editor

Lewis Mumord, writer. These persons
are among the thirty 'notables' who

ON THE
CAPITALS CUFF
Federated Press)
BY HENRY ION

limitations from the British that
they will soon need credits here for
the continued purchase of materials
vital to them have been received here
with considerable skepticism.
That the British need munitions.
foodstuffs and materials of other kinds
is undoubted and all efforts are being
made by Washington officials to speed
these things on their way.
The assertion that the British are
unable to pay for them in cash, how
ever, and depend for their survival
upon the repeal of the Johnson act
which prohibits loans to nations in
default on their World war debts
meets with much different response.
AT the beginning Of the present war,
1t is estimated, British investments
overseas amounted to between Is and
IL billion dollars Some of these were
in Europe or in China and are now
worthless. A sizeable chunk of them.
however, are good and could be CON
verified into cash.
In addition, the British empire is
still one of the worlds ranking gold
producers and her colonies still pro-
duce raw materials and manufactured
products for which other nations nav.
The reason, it is believed, that the
British are unwilling to liquidate their
investments is that stocks and bonds
in this and other countries provide
the British upper strata with their
chief source of income.
1t is recalled, for example. that the
late Lord Astor, the father of the
present owner of the London Times.
just prior to the last war set up a
number OF trusteeships in this country
to handle his wealth.
The whole affair was gone into sew
eral years ago during a court suit to
determine whether the trusteeships
were for the purpose of evading in
heritance taxes or whether they were
for the purpose of avoiding British
seizure OF Astor's wealth during the
last war.
