WATSON URGES NEW CONFIDENGE
Declares Business Will Be Hampered Until Liberty Is Restored.
MUNCIE, Ind. Feb. 10 (U. P.)— Former Senator James E. Watson today had declared that national prosperity cannot round the corner until full individual liberty has been restored to the business world.
Asserting that President Roosevelt is alternately subject to two opposing forces, one believing business should be unfettered by governmental action, the other in regulating business through governmental action, Mr. Watson said that business needs a return to confidence. “Only by a vigorous statement on the part of the President as to just
what his policy is going to be and |
how long it is going to last, can bring this about,” Mr. Watson said. He declared the President has promised to balance the budget six times in the last five years.
Happy Over Court Defeat
Watson asserted that the President controls the credit of the country “by his authority to keep on spending and taxing.” He charged he has authority to fix tariff rates, controls interest rates through the new banking laws and can largely control wages that shall be paid. ‘““To a real constitutionalist,” he said, ‘the most wholesome thing that has happened since he became President and began to acquire all of his power is the rejection of the court-packing plan by the Senate.”
Text of F. D. R. Letter
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (U. P.).— Following is the text of President Roosevelt's letter to the Speaker of the House on the subject of additional relief funds. “The Speaker of the House of Representatives: “Sir: “1 have the honor to submit herewith for your consideration a supplemental estimate of appropriation of $250,000,000 for relief of the unemployed. “ ‘Emergency and work relief: To continue to provide relief and work relief as authorized in the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1037, and subject to all the provisions thereof, $250,000,000, which amount shall be added to, and proportionately increase the specified amounts of the limitations prescribed under the appropriation made in such act (50 Stat. 352). “According to the best estimate available at this time it appears that, during the past three months, approximately 3,000,000 persons have lost their jobs with private employers. This increase in unemployment could not, of course, have been forseen at the time the last relief appropriation was under consideration. Hundreds of thousands of needy unemployed persons have recently applied for relief work which could not be provided for them with the funds on hand. It has become increasingly clear that these needs can not be met unless employment by the Works Progress Administration is increased immediately. “The funds available on Jan. 1, 1038, would permit employment of an average of only 1,700,000 persons for the six months ending June 30, 1088. The number of persons on the Works Progress Administration rolls today is 1,950,000. Funds available at
this time will not only not take care of the additional burden caused by the recent increase in unemployment but will require a sharp reduction in the near future of the number on the Works Progress Administration rolls. This estimate of $250,000,$00 will permit the continued employment for the next five months of the number now on such rolls, and will provide a reasonable measure of relief for those who have sents become unemployed and are n need.”
WRIGHT'S ATTORNEY CITES ‘BLACKEST SIN’
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10 (U. P). —Defense Attorney Jerry Giesler made his final plea today for the life and freedom of Paul A. Wright, who killed his wife and John B. Kimmel when he found them in an embrace.
The trial, which has required more than three weeks, was nearing a close. When Giesler's plea is completed, Judge Ingall W. Bull will instruct the jury of eight men and four women and send them away to decide the verdict. “The blackest sin in the catalog of crime is for a friend to attempt to seduce his friend's wife,” Mr. Giesler said yesterday in opening his final argument.

PROBE OF BEER IMPORTS BEGUN
Governor Seeks Reason for Attacks on Port of Entry System.
Governor Townsend is investigating Indiana's beer port-of-entry system, which has been attacked by political opponents and officials of neighboring states, it was learned today. “It may be the system is best for the industry, or it may need some changes,” the Governor said. “Such an investigation would determine the facts, which I am not now prepared to discuss.” Meanwhile, State Excise Administrator Hugh A. Barnhart said copies of the retaliation ruling banning Michigan alcoholic products from Indiana have been sent to the nine other states against which Michigan has placed a beer embargo.
Nine States Boycotted These states are Maine, Maryland, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Caroline, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, vermont and Washington. The Michigan Liquor Control Commission, ‘acting under provisions of a new statute, banned importation of beer from states which, it asserts, discriminate against Michigan beer. The port-of-entry system was the feature of the Indiana law to which Michigan authorities said they objected. In announcing an appeal would be taken to the U. S. Supreme Court from a Federal Court decision upholding the Michigan ban, the Indiana Brewers Association said it regarded Indiana as an “open market” for out-state beers.
State May Aid Fight
Mr. Barnhart indicated that the State Government might aid in this Supreme Court appeal against the Michigan embargo if invited to do so by the industry. Governor Townsend said the importer system, from an administrative point of view, is satisfactory because “it provides an easy method of collecting taxes upon imported beer.” In return for collecting this tax, it was explained, the importers are given the exclusive privilege of handling beer manufactured in other states. Indiana brewers claim the tax is the same for domestic and out-of-state beers. A handling charge, however, is paid importers by out-of-state brewers. The Indiana ban against Michigan alcoholic products becomes effective March 14, the same date the Michigan boycott begins.

OLLYWOOD, Feb. 10.—I know you readers will be glad to know that this paper will accept nothing but honest advertising. The editor is just as strict as the editor of the Van Buren Press-Argus. One time a man came into the Argus office and says, “I wan ’ta advertise for a wife.” The editor says, “Well, we've got to be honest about it, what classification do you want me to put that under? Do you want it under ‘business chances,” ‘pet stock,’ or ‘household fixtures’?” (Copyright, 1038)

Chinese troops had dammed the Chang River, crossing the PeipingHankow Railroad, and cut dikes so as to flood a big area of the countryside and impede the Japanese. Successful flooding of the area might prevent the Japanese from using the railroad, but the reports indicated that the main idea was to prevent the construction of adequate defenses against operations of Chinese guerilla raiders. Fighting on the central front now apparently is destined to be general all the way from the Tientsin-Nan-king Railroad to the Peiping-Han-kow Railroad.
Japan May Reply To U. S. Saturday
TOKYO, Feb. 10 (U. P.).—Japan intends to reply Saturday to United States, Britain and French inquiries as to her naval building programs, it was said today in usually reliable quarters, It was said that the reply was completed today and that the Cabinet would consider it Saturday. It was taken for granted that the Cabinet would approve it, and informants forecast that the notes would be dispatched immediately afterward. It was increasingly indicated that the government would decline to disclose its building plans. The Manchukuoan State Council today approved a general mobilization act designed to insure centralized control of all material and human resources on a war basis. A similar measure is in preparation here and Gen. Gen Sugiyama, war minister, is pressing for its early adoption by Parliament,

LONDON, Feb. 10 (U. P.)—The sensational Left Wing news weekly The Week alleged in its issue of yesterday that when Capt. Royal E. Ingersoll, U. S.

S, Intelligence Service operating in Tokyo.” (At Washington naval spokesmen denied the report officially. The article was called preposterous.)

In the event of a threatened or actual serious violation of the Briand-Kellogg Treaty—to use the language of the late Philander C. Knox, Secretary of State, Senator and leader of the irreconcilables in the League fight: “The United States would regard such situation with grave concern as a menace to its freedom and peace, and would consult ‘with other powers affected.” And, Mr. Knox added: “Declared or not, the above is the approved policy of America.” In any such crisis, the President and Secretary of State should fully advise the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate and report thereto with the utmost mutual confidence and trust. 9. The United States was the first nation voluntarily to renounce war. In 1898 President McKinley proclaimed that America would fight no war of aggression. In 1918 President Wilson reiterated and elaborated this declaration. The United States, with France, was the first to offer the world absolute war outlawry in international controversies. Likewise America was first to declare its refusal to recognize the illegal fruits of conquest, which, indeed, is the necessary and logical corollary of the Briand-Kellogg tréaty. 10.

FHA AID ON WAY HERE TO SPEED STATE PROJECTS
3-Day Conference Planned With Representatives 0f 15 Communities.
(Another Story, Page 18)
The Federal Housing Authority will send a representative here Monday for a three-day conference to speed slum clearance programs in 15 Indiana communities having local housing authorities. The representative will obtain
from the local housing board ine formation on which to earmark funds. The communities which have es« tablished local housing boards are Marion, Anderson, Delaware Coun ty, Kokomo, Richmond, Alexandria, Dunkirk, Vincennes, Bluffton, Law renceburg, Greenfield, New Albany, Jeffersonville and Decatur. Other boards are being formed in Ft, Wayne, Terre Haute, Lafayette and South Bend. A resolution to create a local housing authority was presented to City Council last fall, but action was an investigation into the cost of the project to the city.
State Leads U. 8.
Walter E. Stanton, executive sece retary of the Indiana Housing Board, said he had been informed that Indiana led the nation in the number of local housing authorities established. New York and Ohio are tied for second place with eight each. Mr, Stanton said that, in sending a representative to Indianapolis, the FHA is waiving its rule that all applicants for housing loans and grants must go to Washington to explain their plans. He said $270,000 in Federal funds already had been earmarked for Vincennes and $50,000 for Decatur, but their representatives would ate tend the conference to discuss proe cedure. Mr, Stanton announced a statee wide planning conference would be held at Purdue University Wednese day and Thursday. In Washington, FHA Administrae« tor Stewart McDonald said reports from all sections of the country ine dicated “a general revival of home building and modernization under the Administration’s new housing program.” Program Welcomed
The new housing act, one week old today, permits the FHA to ine sure loans made for home construce tion up to 90 per cent of the value of the house, providing the cost does not exceed $6000. It also provides for insurance on loans for modernization and repairs and loans for the construction of multi-family house ing developments. The agency does not lend money itself. The new act limits banks to 5 per cent interest on home morte
gages insured by FHA.
