that the President needlessly threw
into our people two weeks ago the
hotter get under the collar. 1t was
needless and certainly not justified,
even though this be election year.
No Wonder Hull Won.
It will be recalled that the pro-
posal to renew the Hull Reciprocal
Trade program for another three
years won by very small margin
in the Senate. 1t has now been dis
closed that the Administration Sc
cured the votes of Louisiana's two
Senators for the proposal by agree
ing to support their bill which would
appropriate million dollars out OF
the Federal treasury to reimburse
violators of the Jones-Costigan Sugar
act.
When the Trade Agreements act
was before the Senate, the senior
Senator from Louisiana tried to at
tach his bill to reimburse the sugar
growers of his state whose subsidies
were withheld in 1937-38-39 because
of their violation of the child labor
provision. He was induced not to
do so on the promise that the Ad-
ministration would support his meas
ure providing it stood on its own
bottom.
When the Ellender bill came be-
fore the Senate it was passed with
out a record vote. I can assure my
readers that it will not have such
smooth sailing in the House. We
are led to wonder how many trades
and deals the Administration made
in both Houses to pass the bill to
extend the trade agreements. There
are rumors and rumors. One thing
is sure, the New Deal will 60 to great
lengths to win its ends.
To Reimburse Ambassador.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate to pay Anthony j. Drexel
Biddle, U. S. Ambassador to Poland
and Margaret T. Biddle, his wife, the
sum of $243,361, in full satisfaction
of all their claims against the United
States for the loss of property they
sustained in the war between POLAND
and Germany. The Biddles are men,
bers of the enormously rich Biddle
family of Pennsylvania. When they
went to Poland they took with then
quantities of paintings and antiques
which were destroyed in the siege
and capture of the city of Warsaw
last September.
It is my guess that Mr.. Biddle
stands about as much chance of getting
Congress to allow their claim as Hitler
has to sprout wings. There are many
claims pending before us that have
much more merit but they are doomed

Although death was primarily due
to old age, it was fastened by fall

since 1884.
Besides her three sons, she leaves
to mourn her passing II grandchil-
dren, 81 great-grandchildren in

That there is no justification for
