THOMAS URGES PUBLIC TO OWN CITY UTILITIES Socialist Candidate Voices Scorn of Hoover's Claim to ‘Saving Nation.’ fl‘l I mhrl /’rr* PORTLAND, Ore.. Oct. s.—Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President, carried his campaign into President Hoovers home state today, obviously cheered by the size of the crowd which hpard him espouse “collective ownership’’ here Tuesday night. “Under capitalism, we get out of each depression just in time to go Into another— and each depression gets worse’,’ the tall, gray-haired candidate told 3,000 listeners. “I heard the beginning and end of President. Herbert Hoover’s speech in Des Moines. He claimed he had saved the American system but he gave little assurance of what would happen to the 13.000.000 unemployed men and women this winter.” Urges Municipal Ownership Thomas, who admitted he had lit- I tie chance of election, declared I “voters are ganging up on Hoover’ by voting for Roosevelt. Instead of being crushed by the elephant they : are going to be kicked to death by the donkey.” Thomas urged municipal owner- ; ship of public utilities, and assailed the eight-point program of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic nominee, for control of the j power “trust.” The Socialist party favors development of every power site in America with the control of each remaining in the hands of the public, Thomas said. His listeners cheered w-hen the candidate criticised the Insull power investigation. A1 Capone’s Hard Luck “Undoubtedly, when A1 Capone, in prison, read about Insull and the activities of Owen D. Young and other white hopes of capitalism, he said to himself: Where is justice? Why am I in jail?’’” Thomas expressed contempt for bo‘h Hoover and Roosevelt upon his arrival here. “There is no reason to make mention of Hoover.” he said. "Roosevelt, too, is no howling success. He is the weakest Governor New York ever had.” 1

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WORLD MONEY CHAOS WILL BE I PARLEY PUZZLE Economic Conference Must Solve It First to Reach Stability. ily Unitrd Prr* LONDON, Oct. s.—When the world economic conference meets here in December, it w-ill have to deal with the chaos prevailing in international currencies before an effective approach to raising the commodity price level can be made. The financial crisis of 1931 knocked the currencies of more than thirty countries off their foundations. • Desperate attempts were made to maintain some sort of defacto stability by placing severe restrictions on foreign exchange. As things now’ stand, the world’s currencies are divided into three i classes. The first is the group of currencies officially and effectively still | convertible into gold; namely, the United States dollar and the French, Swiss, Belgian and Dutch monetary units. The second class is the group officially off the gold standard, including all of the parts of the British Empire except Canada and South Africa, the Scandinavian and South American countries. Japan and So- : viet Russia. The third group consists of those countries officially on gold, but effectively off it, their exchange rates 1 being pegged by various devices and restrictions, such as Germany and Austria. It is a recognized fact that Britain’s monetary policy is pivotal and that so long as she stays off i the gold standard, two dozen other countries will do likewise. Therefore, if before the economic conference meets, Britain makes a definite approach toward restabilizj ing the pound sterling on a gold basis, it will be a tremendous factor in restoring equilibrium to the world's currencies. At present the pound sterling is “pegged” at a slightly varying rate in terms of the dollar and French franc by virtue of the exchange equalization account with resources

of $750,000,000. The rate of $3.50. or thereabouts, is looked upon as the defacto parity, compared with the gold par of $4.85 to the pound Britain removed her foreign exchange restrictions in the spring of 1932, but there still are about thirtyfive countries resorting to exchange restrictions and import prohibitions which slowly have strangled all foreign trade, except the most necessary foodstuffs and raw materials. The forthcoming conference will have to deal with this problem as removal of exchange restrictions is viewed by European experts as one of the outstanding obstacles to world economic recovery.

SEEKS SHIFT OF ALIEN BUREAUS Lawyer Wants Immigration in State Department. Up Srrippt-Hoicard \ric*pnprr Allinnrr NEW YORK. Oct. s.—Transfer of the bureau of immigration and naturalization from the department of labor to the department of state was proposed today by Alfred Lief.

lawyer and publicist, as a solution for the long series of rulings from those bureaus which have called forth protest from liberals during the recent years. Lief called attention to the “unhappy order of the department of labor excluding foreign students from gainful employment, classing 'it as a model of consistency “in connection with the deportation scandals, the harsh immigration regulations and the heckling of applicants for naturalization.’ “Neither William Doak nor his predecessor. Puddler Jim Davis, deserves the blame.’’ said Lief. “The fundamental fault seems to be that these bureaus are under the

wing of the department of labor, which is charged with the duty of fostering, promoting and developing the welfare of the wage-earners of the United States, improving their working conditions and advancing their opportunities for profitable employment.” Organized labor always has advocated a policy of strict exclusion of aliens. Lief says of his proposal to put administration of immigrant affairs in the hands of the state department. ' a wider concept of world harmony reposes in this department. Its ranee and outlook are international.”
