News Review of Current Events the World Over

Statesmen in Geneva Struggle to Prevent Italo-Ethiopian War — Progress of the New Deal Measures in Congress.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD C Western Newspaper Union.

CAPT. ANTHONY EDEN, British minister for League of Nations affair*, was exceedingly busy in Geneva trying to find away to avert the war

between Italy and Ethiopia. He was aided and abetted by Premier Laval of France and together they evolved a plan for procedure by the league council which appeared promising, until it was communicated to Premier Mussolini. Then Baron Alqlsi, Italian delegate, announced the Eden-Laval formula

v J I Sri Anthony Ed.n

was “entirely unacceptable.” However, hope was not abandoned for there was a chance that modification* could be made that would satisfy the demand* of the Italians. Unofficially, it was said the BritishFrench formula dealt' with these points: 1. Conciliation and arbitration is to continue. 2. Neither Italy nor Ethiopia is to resort to war measures in the meantime. 3. Appointment of a fifth arbitrator to the deadlocked Italo-Ethiopian conciliation commission. 4. Signatories of the 1906 treaty— Great Britain, France, and Italy—will lend their good office* to obtain a general broad solution of the conflict. Italy was Expected to protest against time Halts fixed*ln the draft of the projected peace formula. One deadline was set for September 1, by which time the arbitrators on the Italo-Ethiopian conciliation commission. who would resume their work, would be required to report to the league council Another time limit was set for September 4. when the three powers and Ethiopia would be required to report their findings to the league council In any event the council would be scheduled to meet September 4. One important concession was made to Italy in the formula. It was agreed that the ownership of Ualual, scene of the frontier conflict Involved, should not be discussed. The Ethiopian contention has been that responsibility for the border clash could not be established without the ownership of the locality being first determined. Emperor Halle Selassie met his chieftains in council at Addis Ababa and they told him it might be now too late to prevent war for their tens of thousands of fighters were eager for hostilities to begin and could hardly be restrained. The emperor, however, sought to hold the chiefs back. At the same time he issued another defiant note informing the world that Ethiopia never would accept an Italian or other mandate, adding: “Noamount of prosperity under foreign domination would compensate for the loss of Independence." Mussolini seized control of Italy's metal and fuel Imports for use In the expected war, and several thousand more soldiers and workmen sailed for Africa. LED by George Huddleston of Alabama, the members of the house who opposed the “death sentence" in the utilities bill scored another victory over the supporters of that plan of the New Dealers. Sam Rayburn's motion that the house agree to the senate action on the bill was defeated, 210 to 155. Rayburn argued, pleaded and threatened, but to do avail He warned the representatives that those who voted against hl* motion would be Incurring the wrath of the administration, and at the last moment had read testimony before the senate lobbying committee to the effect that a New Jersey man had suggested the utilities companies start a whispering campaign regarding the sanity of the New Deal leaders. Still the big majority in the house insisted on rejecting the Rayburn motion. Then the house, by a vote of 183 to 172, adopted a resolution which virtually called for the exclusion of Ben Cohen, administration lobbyist, from future conference* on the bill. DEMOCRATIC congressmen started the week briskly determined to push through the President's “soak the rich" tax bill at this session. Opposing

them with equal determination were a number of the hardest fighting Republicans who Insist that consideration of taxation be postponed until next winter and that meantime the question be studied carefully in connection with the budget for the next fiscal year. These Republicans are urgently calling for an early

adjournment of congress. Senator Hastings of Delaware has introduced a resolution setting August 10 as the day for quitting and was trying to have it brought up for consideration before passage of the tax measure. Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, often mentioned a* a Presidential possibility, also demanded postponement of the tax legislation until January, and be gave out a statement denouncing the administration’* plan as a “Bterile political gesture" which would raise “only a little extra pocket change" and declared that “we chatter of taxes In million* to offset known deficits in billion*." "The pending tax MB, as it is being developed," said Senator Vandenberg, “will not produce appreciable revenne tor Unde Sam. It win not pay the President’* deficit •*«■ ter the period

while the bill Is under consideration. As a contribution to the public credit, It is as grim a hoax as was ever perpetrated on the country. As a ‘distributor of wealth’ It is a mere vagrant flirtation with this left wing idea." Nevertheless, it appeared probable that the tax measure would be enacted before adjournment, for the administration leader* had promised this to Senator La Follette and other "liberals,” and besides that, they have no desire to pass a taxation bill la a Presidential election year. As produced by the house ways and means committee after great travail the measure embodies an 87 per cent confiscation of large fortunes and Increased levies on the rich which would produce perhaps >250,000,000 of additional annual revenue. /CONGRESS has passed and the Pres4 Ident has signed a bill which assures promotion in the near future for about 5,000 army officers. It accelerates the advancement of commissioned officers below the grade of colonel and takes effect September L The act Increases the number of colonels by 158, the number of lieutenant colonels by 364, and the number of majors by 890. More than 1,000 second lieutenants will be advanced immediately to the rank of first Ueutenant and 1,769 first lieutenants will become captains. In all, 4,918 officers will receive immediate promotion. 'C ENATE and house committees investigating the activities of lobbyists went their separate ways, neitherthinking very well of what the other was doing. Senator Black's quia occupied itself much with the doing of representatives of the Associated Gas and Electric corporation. An executive order from the White House directed the secretary of the treasury to make available to the senate committee all incomes, excess profit, and capital stock tax returns to the extent necessary in the investigation with the so-called “holding company bill or any other matter or proposal affecting legislation.” Simultaneously President Roosevelt approved a new treasury regulation authorizing the release of this information to ’the committee. Representative Patton of Texas went before the house committee again and satisfactorily explained how he hsdbecn able to buy $3,000 worth ofjiSndSv out of his savings. As to the cigar box he carried away from tfife room of John W. Carpenter, president of the Texas Power and Light corporatlon, It contained nothing but cigars, l*atton said. "The fact is, you have been done a. very great wrong.” commented Representative E. E. Cox of Georgia. OENATOR GLASS scored perhaps the greatest victory in his long public career when the senate, without a record vote, passed his draft of the

1935 banking act, rejecting the central bank features urged by Gov. Marriner S. Eccles of the federal reserve board and favored by the administration. The doughty Virginian, who was once secretary of the treasury, had fought desperately against the Eccles scheme and his triumph was de-

cisive. There was no demand for a roll call on the final vote, for the fate met by the proposers of various amendments showed this procedure would be futile. Senator La Follette sought to strike out a provision permitting commercial banks to underwrite securities and his proposal was beaten, 39 to 22. Senator Gerald Nye of North Dakota, another radical Republican, offered the central bank plan of Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, radio priest, which would set up a government owned and wholly dominated system. It was voted down, 59 to 19. The senate biU was sent to conference, for the house passed the measure drawn up on the advice of Eccles and TugweU. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS bill to * bar suit* for damages growing out of the abrogation of the gold clause in government obligations was the subject of violent debate in the senate banking and currency committee, and it emerged with an amendment offered by Senator McAdoo which per mt s suits already filed and those that may be filed within six month* after the effective date of the act. Senator Glass and six others on the committee bitterly opposed such bill at all, and this presaged another fight in the senate on the question of evading the constitution by closing the courts to citizens. It will be recalled that the Supreme court held the act of congress abrogating the gold clause in ail contracts, public or private, invalid with respect to the government’s own obligations. It held that holder* of gold clause securities were not entitled to enrich themselves at the government* expense a* a result of the dollar devaluation, but indicated that actual damages would warrant re<?overles. F r 0M the Communist Internationale 1 in Moscow comes the word that the reds are planning a strike “of unprecedented scope" by seamen and dock workers on the Pacific coast of the United States, beginning in September. Sam Darcy of San Francisco, an American delegate told about it He repeated what had already been-said by Earl Browder, general acretary of the Communist party in the United State*, thal Communist* were responsible for the seamen’s and dock workera* strikes last year.

The necessity for adequate bases in the Pacific was demonstrated forcibly last May during the annual fleet maneuvers off Hawaii and the Aleutian islands. According to reports, the navy high command in a report of the lessons learned la the exercises strongly recommended an Aleutian Islands base. The United States naval bases are few and far between as against those of Japan and Great Britain, which lie along the principal courses of English and Japanese traffic lines. The American bases are relatively obsolete. COVIET Russia sustained a major naval loss when the submarine B-3 collided with a surface vessel during maneuvers of the Baltic fleet and sank Immediately. Her entire crew of 55 officers, seamen and cadets perished. The sub. which was built near the close of Russia’s participation in the World war, will be raised if possible.

The German note said the incident constituted an insult to Germany. In his press conference President Roosevelt declined to comment on the affair. Asked about the protest of Jewish organizations against the German government’s religious attitude, the President intimated that the administration’s view was fully expressed by Mr. Phillips’ reply in which he expressed sympathy for anyone who was denied religious liberty. Representative Dlckstein of New York told the house that no apology was due to Germany for the Bremen incident and that neither the federal nor the local authorities were to blame for it He asserted the attack was made possible by “a selfish desire on the part of the skipper of the Bremen, who would not take police advice to halt visiting to the ship and lose the revenue of visitors.” Over in Germany the saner men in authority recognized that the Nazis were going too far and were probably headed for a fall If not restrained. Dr. HJalmar Schacht, president of the Relchsbank and economic dictator of the relch, uttered a solemn warning to the antl-Jewish and antl-Catholic forces, declaring that the great task which the German people must fulfill to comply with the wishes of Hitler cannot be fulfilled unless “all disturbances are ended, be they Id the intellectual or economic field." Among developments in the current campaign against the Steel Helmets, the World War Veterans’ organization, the Schntzstaffel or "black corps’* formed to protect the person of Hitler, gave out a warning that It must be reckoned with in the event of a showdown against “state enemies." and asserting its complete loyalty to der fuehrer.

Washington. — President Roosevelt has settled a Controversy by the slmpie expedient of Settle transferring two men Controversy from responsible positions in the Virgin islands to Jobs in Washington. He has taken Paul M. Pearson from the post of civil governor of the Virgin islands and has made him assistant director of housing in the Interior department and has transferred Federal Director Judge T. Webber Wilson from his post in the islands to the federal parole board here in Washington. Each man has accepted his new appointment and in so far as a current controversy is concerned, the book is closed. It will be recalled that Governor Pearson and Judge Wilson long have been at loggerheads over Virgin island affairs. The battle was bitter. It came to a head when Paul Yates, executive assistant to the governor and a former Washington correspondent, resigned his Job and came hack here with a bag full of charges against his former chief. The Yates allegations ranged all the way from minor charges of poor judgment to gross accusations. He succeeded In getting a senate committee investigation and it was at that time that the Pearson-Wilson feud flared so openly that administration officials here were dragged in and the whole scope of differences aired. As a matter of fact there Is every reason to believe that Governor Pearson was far from a successful executive in the Islands. He frequently aroused the ire of natives and, according to testimony adduced by the senate Investigation, had very little to show fbr the sums of money he expended in attempting to give the Virgin islands a new lease on life. All of the information tends to establish that the Islands continue to be “an effectual poorhouse”’ just as President Hoover described them on the occasion of a visit during his term as Chief Executive. But Governor Pearson had his supporters in the administration. Chief among - these was Secretary Ickes whose department is responsible for administration of the islands. Just why Mr. Ickes has been so enthusiastic about Governor Pearson’s regime is not fully disclosed in any evidence here except that the interior secretary has certain Ideas about .social reform that some unkind critics refer to as pure socialism which Governor Pearson had been attempting to impose upon the Island inhabitants. Governor Pearson hqs expended vast sums of PWA funds In the Islands in his efforts to carry out the Ickes program of reformation. It seems, however, that the schemes were not as practical as they might have been and so trouble started in a rather extensive fashion. The President stayed outside of the row until In the course of the senate inquiry Senator Tydlngs, a Maryland Democrat and usually an anti-Roosevelt Democrat, received a letter from Mr. Ickes. Mr. Ickes accused the investigating chairman with having whitewashed a witness whose testimony was all anti-Ickes and antiPearson. The senator flared up In a big way at that letter. His reply 1* likely to become a classic in official correspondence. He did not mince his words. After voicing his general conception of the attitude exhibited by Mr. Ickes and accusing him of attempting to Interfere in the investigation, Senator Tydlngs informed the interior secretary that he may as well attempt to run the Department of the Interior and let the senators run the senate. He used Just about those words. That was the signal for Mr. Roosevelt to take a hand. It was easy to see that a few outbursts of that kind and Mr. Ickes might have found himself in a splendid position to resign from the cabinet. So the President got the feudists into his office, singly of course, and when those conference* were over the senate investigation into the Virgin island situation was suspended for two weeks. The transfer of Governor Pearson and Judge Wilson resulted. One might properly inquire why all of this agitation has occurred about the Virgin islands. Why the They are many hunAffdation? deeds of miles from Washington. They lie in the Caribbean sea. considerably out of the usual pathway of ships; they are populated by about 22,900 individuals, 95 per cent of whom are negroes and may generally be described as a “backward” place. They may have some military and naval value. That has never been fully demonstrated. But the fact remains they are possessions of the United States «nd if oar government is to be their protector, It 1* responsible for a sane administration of their affairs. The Washington fight may have had its start in the Virgin islands, but it has progressed beyond that point and is a domestic battle now. . It is safe to say that for 18 years, which is the time the Islands have been under United States rale, there has been a dire need for a plan of government suited to those people. Each year congress has been appropriating thousands of dollars for the island government and each year there has been miserably little to the way of improvement to show for these funds. Almost as frequently as congress has appropriated money It has made changes in the administration methods in use there. There has never been a long term program laid out and there has been nothing whatsoever done showing the sympathy of a socalled intellectual people a* we claim

to be for those downtrodden masses that populate the Virgin islands. All of this, it seems to me, shows the woeful need for careful consideration of that situation. It seems to me equally apparent that as long as congress keeps meddling in and as long as politicians from the mainland are sent there purely on a political basis we will continue to have a pack of trouble bundled up In those Virgin islands. Several attempts have been made to work out a governmental system worth while but the politicians are not among those who will let plums escape. It is certain, therefore, that the Pearson-Wilson-Ickes-Tydings battle royal is an outcropping of what amounts to a festering sore to American governmental policy. • • • If congress continues in session past August 15, and it Is now apparent that .it may run to SepLong Session tember 1, it will have Severe Strain been in session 225 days, some two weeks longer than the average of the so-called long sessions of congress. Prior to adoption of the “lame duck” amendment which did away with sessions of unequal length, the shorter sessions of congress averaged about 179 days. The longer terms were around 215 days before final adjournment was taken. Thus, the current session stands In a fairway to be among the list of hardy sessions. All of which is byway of saying that rhe current session of congress has worn down its members both physically and mentally to an extent quite unusual. I was talking a few days ago with a veteran senator, a man who has served almost 25 years In the upper house of congress. He Is known as a physically strong individual and usually lasts very well through rhe work that piles up before senators and representatives. I inquired of him concerning the general health of congress and his reply was: “I regret to say we are just a bunch of debilitated old men. Incapable of doing the job that Is expected of us and everyone Is hoping against hope that we can live through this work and this heat.” As a result of that converstalon the thought came to me that nere was an answer to the oft.repeated declaration that members of congress fail to earn their salaries of $19,999 per year. I have observed congressional proceedings almost a score of years and it 1* j my mature conviction that few times | In that period has congress failed to j earn its salt. Os course, there have been many ■ sessions characterized wholly by no ! results. There have been sessions ' which were given over wholly to playing politics, to mending political fences, and to the manufacture ammunition for a political campaign soon to follow. But it must be said in fairness to congress that these sessions are the exception rather than the rule. When the senator used the expression “debilitated old men” he touched what I believe to be a keynote. The bulk of the members of the house and senate ; are what might be termed old men in i years although the average has been ' lowered greatly in the last five years | by the election of numerous younger ! men. It stands to reason, however,that all of the senior members of the house and senate, and they are the men who actually guide affairs, have served many years in congress. They have become,more valuable ro the nation as a result of- that service and when they are overworked, it seems to me, there is a real loss to the nation. • • • There is another reason why congressional sessions should not run so long and should not When Solons be carried on in the Are Tired intense heat of a Washington summer. One condition nearly always has obtained near the close of a long session. As the day* drag by, persons with axes to grind and individual in-' terests to serve have away of digging up questionable bills that theretofore had been side-tracked and assumed to be dead. With resistance low, the average senator or representative is unable to fight off legislation which he knows to be bad with the same spirit that accompanied his activities earlier in the session. Likewise, he is unable to battle as successfully as before for legislation which he knows to be good. This condition opens the way for a revival of lobbies. They are back in Washington in numbers now despite the disclosures being made by the two congressional committees that are investigating the lobbies that operated to defeat, temporarily ar least, the legislation killing utility holding companies. One would have assumed justly with the investigations under way after the utility legislation was passed that lobbyists and self-serving representatives would have been frightened away from Washington. Such was not the case. They are here in such numbers that some observers believe Mr. Roosevelt has made a mistake to demanding that congress stay until It has enacted the share-the-wealth-tax bill and the legislation which will prohibit lawsuits against the government for damage* resulting from abrogation of the promise in government bonds to py them in /old. Mr. Roosevelt is inflating on these laws. He will get them.
