JONES'
Wallace
Spanked

WASHINGTON, July 16 INS)
President Roosevelt today de-
livered a history-making rebuke
TO Vice President Henry Wallace
and Secretary of Commerce Jesse
Jones as he sheared away all
their powers in the field of for
eign economic affairs.
The President climaxed the
feud within his official family by
issuing an executive order setting
up new Office of Economic
Warfare and naming as its direc-
tor Leo T. Crowley, the present
alien property custodian.
Under the order the Board OF
Economic Warfare, of which Wal.
lace is chairman, was abolished
and all the international trading
functions of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp, of which Jones ID
chairman, were transferred to the
new DEW. These included the
u. S. Commercial Corp, the
Rubber Development Corp, the
Petroleum Reserve Corp. the
Export-Import Bank and others.
IDENTICAL LETTERS
In identical letters to Wallace
and Jones. the President said he
had come to the conclusion that
the unfortunate controversy and
acrimonious debate which has
been carried on between you in
the public press concerning the
administration of foreign eco
nomic matters make it necessary
in the public interest 10 transfer
these matters to other hands.
Wallace had charged Jones
with derelection in acquiring
stockpiles of strategic and critical
materials. Jones had retorted
that Wallace told untruths.
The President also sent a Co
operate or quit" ultimatum TO the
heads of all government depart
ments.

Discussion With Hull
On Identical PIanks
Revealed by Landon
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE. Dec. 14.-The right
OF the American people to discuss
and decide issues is more important
than political harmony, Alf M
Landon declared last night. adding:
There are two sides to every ques-
ton. The public has a right to have
those two sides presented"
Speaking before 300 Wisconsin Re-
publican leaders, the 1886 Republican
presidential candidate said he had
discussed with Secretary of State
Hull the proposal that both ma jor
political parties have Identical for
eign plankS in their next platforms,
L was not interested in arguing
for or against identical planks," Mr..
Landon said
Identical Planks May Be Essential.
The Secretary knows that I am
well aware that something may hap
pen on the battle held in the next
few months which would make it
almost essential for the safety of our
country for the two parties to have
Identical planks. What I wanted to
talk over with Mr.. Hull was the
practical problems involved. as of
the present, in connection with this
general proposal"
Mr.. Landon said he had told Sec
retary Hull that before Republicans
could agree to the proposal for iden-
tical foreign policy planks they must
have complete reports on background
and implications of ANY agreements
or understanding that have been
arrived at, either orally or in writ
ing"
Must Know All Facts.
1T is not the duty of the minority
of the opposition party-to agree
with the majority or the party in
power" he said. And certainly it
is not its duty to agree until it knows
all the facts, until it can agree out of
conviction founded upon knowl-
edge"
Enlarging on his declaration that
there are two sides to every ques-
ton" Mr.. Landon added:
The public has a right to have
those two sides presented. AS I said
earlier. under extreme emergency
it might become necessary to waive
that right. But there is no such
emergency in sight at present. And
before we waive the right of the
American public to hear both sides
of question, not only must such an
emergency be real, but as we'll it
must be evident-evident to the
public.
