Vigorously Appiauded.
Not, of course, that Mr.. O'Dwyer's
reception was anything but polite
He was vigorously applauded by the
multitude when he finished. Even
louder applause greeted a soaring
magnificent performance of the
hymn Rock of Ages" by the colored
choir of the St. Matthews A. M. E.
Church of Philadelphia.
Next came Catholic Bishop Will
liam r. Arnold, former chief OF
Army chaplains. He spoke Of the
overseas graves of Americas fallen
soldiers. On each headstone, he
said, Gods invisible finger had writ
ten the great epitaph, Greater
Love Hath No Man.
The Governor of great Southern

cigar, talking with three henchmen
who were clustered around his seat

Mr.. Tibbett returned to the ros-

Activities Continue.
Tramp, tramp, went the feet IN the
aisles Swish, swish went the fans
puff, puff, the cigars. Yatata, va

In spots, of course, the program
itself was inexcusable. Somebody
had thought it would be a good ides

Van Heflin, the film star, was in

In the center aisle on the floor
looking up at the rostrum, stood a

could get his autograph.
Then the Navy chaplain took over
with his prayer and the silence

PHILADELPHIA, July 14..-1f
some of the delegates to this Demo-
cratic convention feel a little en-
barrassed today as they look up at
the late President Roosevelt's pic
ture on the halls proscenium arch,
it will be entirely understandable.
What with fist fights and all, there
are number of respects in which
they probably are not too proud
of their performance last night.
But the most shocking aspect of
that fourth convention session had
nothing to do with the rumpus
over the seating of the Mississippi
delegation and the two thirds rule.
That position was reserved for an
alleged requiem in honor of Mr..
Roosevelt and the Nations World

sion.

body seemed to have planned it
at all.
Not until the closing moments of
the program, when Capt. Francis Lee
Albert of the Nays Corps of chap
lains finally brought the delegates
to order by demanding that they
rise, bow their heads, close their
eyes and pray with ,him-not until
then did the people in the hall
seem to have the slightest idea of
what was happening. Until that
moment, through prayer and hymns
they streamed up and down the
aisles, chatted, smoked, famed
themselves, read newspapers and
generally made enough noise to all
but drown out the amplif1ed words
of the speakers.
Once, Mayor O'Dwyer of New
York, who was supposed to be con-
Quoting the proceedings, stepped
to the microphones to ask for quiet
because I'VE are conducting serv-
ice for the dead here the point
was completely lost.
Mr.. O'Dwyer, though, could not
really be blamed for the fiasco
He simply was up against the fact
that nobody at conventions listens
to what is said at the speakers
platform.

opens new vistas to the journals published
by our trade unions.
The American labor press. comprising

belittle its influence by relocating it to the

The role of the labor press in the far
flung educational enterprise undertaken
by the AFL's Labor's League for Polit-
cal Education will stand out all the
greater during the next four months of
the national campaign in view Of the many
other restrictions which this same Taft
Hartley law still imposes on trade union
political activity.
1t is patent that the repeal Of the Taft
Hartley act will not be achieved unless
most. if not all. Of the tories who helped
to pass that law IN the S0th Congress are

EXEMPT RICH FROM TAXATION?

The party which has just put into law
a rich mans tax bill. and which is now
asking the millionaire recipients of the
bic tax reductions to show their apprc-
citation by making big contributions to
the Republican campaign chest, is now
going ever further. The 1913 Republican
platform pledges the repeal Of the federal
inheritance tax entirely -. to leave to the
states the power to levy inheritance taxes.
Every person knows that this would
mean the end Of the inheritance tax. This
was proposed by Coolidge and Mellon in
1923. If New York for example. had an
inheritance tax and Florida did not, the
wealthy New Workers would establish
their legal residences in Florida and
thereby cvade the tax.
As a result all states would have to re-
peal their inheritance taxes to "keep from
discriminating against their well to do
citizens"
The lost revenue, Of course. could be
made up by additional sales taxes.
For we must remember that Herbert
Hoover said in his speech to the Republi-
can convention .
Nor is there any room for more
taxes except by a cut in the
standard Of living Of those who
do the nations work.

Delegates in Bogota
Reconsidering Pact
After u. ). Warninq
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BOGOTA, Colombia, April 2S.-
Pan American Conference delegates
meet today to reconsider the treaty
OF Bogota. A United States delegate
warned yesterday the United States
Senate might not ratify 1t in its
present form.
The conference Economic Com
mittee deadlocked over a United
States stand for a clause in the
proposed economic plan to protect
foreign investors against expropria-
tion Of property by any government.
Mexico demanded that such clause
be omitted.
The dispute may postpone plans
to adjourn the conference Friday.
United States Delegate william
D. Pawley said he doubted the Sem
ate would ratify the 21-Nation pact
If it did not contain the clause,
which calls for prompt and ade-
quate compensation to investors in
appropriated property.
Mr. Pawley suggested that, if the
a simple executive agreement, the
clause could be omitted. Executive
agreements signed by the United
States do not need Senate ratifi-
cation.
Mr.. Pawley said he preferred a
treaty to an agreement, however.
He told the committee he would
consider the problem overnight, but
gave no promise of changing his
opinion.
The United States suffered a de-
feat yesterday when 13 Latin Amer
lean nations joined to vote through
Bolivian proposal that American
nations be allowed to join blocs in
order to grant each other trade
preferences.
The United States delegation op-
posed the proposal in the Economic
Committee as contrary to the
United States policy that trade
preferences be eliminated as much
as possible as a means of increasing
world trade.
The United States suggestion that
the proposal be referred to the spe-
cial American conference to
be held later this year received the
support Of Uruguay, the Dominican
Republic, Cuba and Brazil
The discussion indicated that
Latin American republics want free
dom to enter into trade preference
agreements themselves.
