Politics
Continued Prom First Paee3-

velt If the Chief Executive decides
to seek third term.
Senator Wheeler broke with the
President on the Supreme Court
fight, but there have been reports
that better political feeling was
developing between the two.
The discussion of foreign affairs
IN the Presidents speech Saturday
night which apparently set the pitch
for other party leaders included this
statement:
1--WE are keeping out of the wars
but I do not subscribe to
the preachment of a Republican
aspirant for the presidency who tells
you In effect that the United States
should do nothing to bring
about better order of world
peace when the time comes"
This was interpreted as a jibe
at Thomas E. Dewey of New York,
whose campaign also was the target
OF other Democratic spokesmen over
the week end.
Farley's First Major Speech.
Making the first major address of
his campaign for the Democratic
presidential nomination in Boston
last night, Mr.. Farley upheld the
Roosevelt foreign policy and praised
particularly the trade agreements
program of Secretary Hull.
Also striking the foreign policy
note were Senators Byrnes of South
Carolina and SchWellenbach of
washington, stanch administration
supporters. In statement issued
through the Democratic National
Committee, Senator Byrnes declared
that Mr.. Dewey had "one foreign
policy for the Atlantic seaboard and
another for the Middle
West" while Senator Schwellenbach
told a West Virginia rally that the
New York district attorneys speeches
indicate sublime ignorance of any
OF the fundamentals of foreign
policy"
Nearly 1000 persons, among them
nearly every one of the Bay State's S
Democratic leaders, heard Mr.. Far
ley, who spoke after Senator Walsh,
Democrat, of Massachusetts had
given him ''unmistakable assurance
OF support by Massachusetts, where
the presidential primary will be held
April 80. Three former Massachu-
sets Democratic Governors, James
M. Curley, Charles F. Hurley and
Joseph B. Ely, the latter an out
spoken foe of the New Deal, also
pledged their allegiance to Mr.. Far
ley and urged restoration of party
harmony in the Bay State.
Mr.. Farley told newsmen that his
address constituted the first public
expression of his personal views on
current issues as candidate.
He urged that the United States
extend financial assistance to its
American neighbors for the de-
velopment of non-competitive re-
sources and recommended economic
cooperation with the peaceful ma
tons of the world.
First Line of Defense.
Asserting that the Nations first
Tine of defense is to avoid possibility
Of involvement in the current war,
the Postmaster General added:
Keeping neutral is mighty hard
and 1t is not done by being weak.
"You cannot take anything for
granted in this insane war business
For that reason hope every Amer
ican will keep constantly in mind
the necessity for making sure that
the war shall not cross the American
base line"
He made it emphatically clear
that he was firm supporter of the
administrations foreign policy.

No New Taxes For
State Needed

SACRAMENTO, MAY 2. tUP)-
California can get by without new
tax leyies or impaired state credit
until the legislature meets in jan
uary. 194l, If the present trend OF
revenue and expenditures continues,
Finance Director John r. Richards
said today.
Richards said his prediction was
based on revised estimates OF the
state general fund deficiency at the
end of the current biennium June
80. 1941. If the present special ses-
sion of the legislature appropriates
no more than $40000000 to carry
relief expenditures for the remain
ing l3 months of the blennium and
state revenue continues to meet the
estimates previously made, the de-
ficit will be S73,0000oO, Richards
said Earlier estimates had placed
it at $96O0O,000.
The legislature, however. will
have to provide new revenues at
the next regular session, according
to Richards.
