ELECTION PROMISES
He said:
Before the election the aid to
Britain discussed was limited.
The lend and lease bill permits
unlimited aid. This Is a distinct
departure from the promises of
the campaign.
Therefore, the national policy
decided In the last campaign was
limited aid to England. There
was fundamental agreement on
that policy.
The national policy on un-
limited aid was not decided be-
cause IL was not an issue. But
this permits unlimited aid. That
Is one of the compelling reasons
am opposed TO 1t.
There should be no politics
in the consideration of this bill.
The election was over last Fall
and the citizens who opposed
President Roosevelt for re-elec-
ton have accepted the result as
Americans always do. II remains
for those who supported him to
adjourn politics.

Apple Tax Wins
Court Approval

LANSING. Feb. S.-The prin-
ciple of the state taxing an article
in order to advertise it was legal
today in Michigan as the result of
Supreme Court decision uphold
ing the tax which was levied on
apples in 1889 to provide funds for
a marketing program.
Circuit court had twice ruled
the levy invalid and caused the
state apple commission to suspend
collection of the tax.
The new ruling is expected to
bring about a further extension of
the advertising tax" principle, and
one plan to be submitted to the
legislature calls for a cent a pound
tax on butter for Is days every
June to raise a fund TO promote
greater use of butter.
The ruling was based on the
argument that raising apples is an
important enough industry to
make its stimulation a public
purpose."
