MacDonald replied to charges that he did not hold labor credentials to head a national government in the following words: “My credentials are those of rational duty as I see it. I will obey them irrespective of consequences." MacDonald refuted charges that the labor government’s fall was the result of a bankers’ conspiracy. ‘ [ give emphatic assurance that the charge is not true,” he said. He confirmed the government’s proposal to reduce unemployment benefits ten per cent but added, children’s allowances will not 1® touched at all.” He pointed out that cost of living had decreased ten per cent since 1921.

"Nothing could be further from the truth they helped us greatly and are ready to help us more it is essential that the confidence of the world in our credit should be restored, otherwise we will be unalle to maintain the value of the pound sterling. “Action, swift, decisive and effective, is asked for: this we propose to give." [ MacDonald referred to the pasI sing of the labor* government' : which he had guided through tur- ' bulent timc|k. "’’’he occasion is unusual and rather sorrowful," he i said. “I have given my life to building up a political party. I was present at its birth.

LINDBERGHS FINISH 7,000MILE AIR TRIP I (CONTINUED FROM RAGE ONE) I of welcome. i Then Anne Lindbergh stood up in the monoplane and received a similar ovation from the throngs. As the fliers responded to the greetings, sailors anchored the plane. Hardly had the plane been anchored than the official welcoming committee composed of high American and Japanese authorities came to the water’s edge to greet the arrivals. The Lindberghs stepped onto a walking marquee, shook hands with the officials and waved again at the throngs who were witnessing the start of a festive week for the entire nation. Rear Admiral Kobayashi, commandant of the naval station, was the first to receive the Lindberghs. He presented them to Kiyokazi Abo, minister of the navy, General Minami, minister of war, Baron Kijiro Shidehara, minister of foreign affairs, and U. S. Ambassador W. Cameron Forbes. A group of American women, wives of officials and prominent American businessmen in Japan, welcomed Mrs. Lindbergh.

From the marquee the party went to the Airdrome Officers' club, where refreshments of chocolate, ice tea and sandwiches were served ir. a room once occupied by Emperor Hirohito. Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh were given an opportunity to change from their flying costumes and then went to the reception hall where Minister Abo tendered the official welcome. Col. Lindbergh's reply was brief. Both speeches were broadcast over a special radio network. Minister Abo gave particular praise for Mrs. Lindbergh’s ability a§ a radio operator. He said they were real ambassadors “typifying a new consciousness in international friendship.” Col. Lindbergh thanked all who i had participated in various recepitions for him and his wife. He [said the most enjoyable evening : was at Annoro Lake, in the Kurile Islands, where they sat in a fisherman's hut conversing in sign language. Soon after the reoeption the Lindbergh’s and the committee members boarded a train for Tokio, 45 miles I distant, reaching there at 6:30 p. tn. They immediately proceeded to the 'home of Dr. Rudolf Bolling Tuesler, , director of St. Luke’s International Hospital, where they will spend the night. Ambassador Forbes also is making his temporary residence with Dr. Tuesler. The Lindberghs appeared tired hut. happy at the end of their .29day journey. They started from New York July 29, flying to the summer home of Mrs. Lindbergh’s parents. Senator and Mrs. Dwight Morrow, al North Haven, Me. There they said goodbye to their infant son, Charles, Jr., and took off for Ottawa, Can , arriving July 30. Leaving Ottawa, the Lindberghs braved the "wilds” of northern Canada, a picturesque and lonely land of trees, hills and streams. They arrived at Moose Factory August 1. and the following day flew to Churchill, Man. Their next stop was at Baker Lake, whence they traversed a bar ren, bleak stretch of country to I Aklavik. far north at the mouth of II he McKenzie river. Next came one of the most perilous parts of the flight, over a fog-bound area to Point Barrow, Alaska, northernmost settlement on the North American continent. Their first misfortune befell them lon the next lap, when they were I forced down by fog over Kotzebue Sound enroute to Nome. They left Point Barrow Aug. 10 and reached Nome the next day, then waited ■ four days before starting for Kariaginski. Siberia, approximately 1.067 miles across the Pacific ocean. This flight was made almost to the minute of their schedule, and the following day they flew to Petropavalovsk. Siberia. Their real I troubles began on leaving that city. ’ Motor failure forced them back, i They started again for Nemuro, Japan, but half way they turned back from threatened storms and [landed in the Kurile Islands, at Ketoi Islet. More motor trouble , was encountered and they had the plane towed to Muroton Bay for re- . pairs. Two more forced landings were made before they reached Nemuro Monday. o CONSIDER BILL ON COTTON CROP — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) growing, harvesting or ginning of cotton in 1932 shall be a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of from SIOO to SSOO or imprisonment of from 10 to 60 days, or both. i It authorizes the commissioner of agriculture to prevent the planting of cotton as a measure to exterminate the boll weevil and root

rot, and empowers the commissioner to destroy all cotton crops, wherever planted in Ixmisiana during 1932, and to summon all needful state officers to see That the order is enforced. oHolmes Is Improved Beverly Farms, Mass., Aug. 26— (U.R) — Justice Oliver Wend <? 11 Holmes of the U. S. S. supreme court, recovering from a cold which kept him abed two days at his summer home here, was re- ■ ported as "a little better” by his i secretary today. In the light of the statement of I Dr. Peer P. Johnson last night I that Justice Holmes was "pretty [ nearly recovered,” the report of the secretary appeared most favoraibfe. The cold was not very severe but Justice Holmes’ illness was considered more dangerous because of his 90 years. — Q Visits Home 84th Time Clayton, N. Y. (U.R>— Colonel J. R. Boardman. of Brooklyn, recently made his 84th annual visit to his boyhood home near here. Since Colonel Boardman was 11 he never has failed to return each year to the scene of his boyhood days.
