News Review of Current Events the World Over Farley Thinks Midwest Safe for Roosevelt—Sloan Urges Industry to Save Nation—Crisis in Europe Is Approaching. By EDWARD W. PICKARD o C> Waatarn Nawapapar Union.

POSTMASTER GENERAL FARLEY. In hia capacity of chairman of the Democratic national committee, called that body to meet In Washington Jan-

uary 8. when arrangements will be made for the convention of 1936 and the place of that gathering selected. He told the correspondents that the chief bidders for the convention would be Philadelphia, Chicago. St Louis, Kansas City and San Francisco, and denied the report

J. A. Farley that the first named city already had been decided upon. He said he thought the highest bidder would be selected, provided It has adequate convention hall and hotel facilities. Stories that Senator Donahey of Ohio or some one else would be given second place on the ticket instead of Garner were laughed at by Mr. Farley. He asserted that there was no doubt about the renomination of Garner for vice president. Asked about the two-thlrds rule, be said the committee might recommend Its abandonment, but that any change was the business of the convention. Commenting on the Literary Digest poll, which shows a majority In the middlewest states voting against the Roosevelt New Deal, Farley said: “So far as the poll relates to sentiment In the midwest states, like lowa, It is 100 per cent wrong.” He Insisted that the* President was very strong, not only in that section of the country, but In every part “The President will carry as many states next year as he did in 1932.” said Farley. Roosevelt carried all except six states at that time. Farley said he believed Roosevelt would win the electoral rote of Pennsylvania, one of the states that voted for Hoover In 1932, and that also there was a good chance of carrying New Hampshire, another of the Hoover states. JAMES M. CURLEY, governor of Massachusetts, was rhe original “Roosevelt for President” man of New England, and. though be has broken with some Democratic leaders of his state he Is still an ardent supporter of the national administration. Therefore he has decided to be a candidate next year for the senate seat now held by Marcus Coolidge. “I have made up my mind,” he said, “to go to the United States senate to be part of the movement to change the economic condition* of the country to provide for social security.” Senator Coolidge has not Indicated whether he will seek re-election. ALFRED P. SLOAN. JR., president of General Motors corporation, was the chief speaker at the annual dinner of the Congress of American

Industry In New York, and he made an earnest plea to Industry to save the country from bureaucracy and possible socialism. industry should lead the nation away from the fallacious theory of plenty “to promote the general welfare of all the people,” Mr.

Sloan told the nation’s leading manufacturera. Should, big business fall to accept this “broader res|M>nslbillty." It will filing, toe said, the "urge for more •nd more interference from without—government in business.’’ Mr. Sloan conceded the gravity and th* extreme Importance of problems of today—the paramount necessity of charting a sound course for the “long future.” He advocated: “I—Reduction in the real costs and selling prices of goods and service* "2—A more economic balance of national income through policies affecting wage* hour* price* and profit*” The meeting of the congress was held In conjunction with the fortieth annual convention of the National Association of Manufacturer* and tbe speakers before that body were as emphatic In their condemnation of the economic policies of the administration as was Mr. Sham. President C. L. Bardo said: “Whether we like It or not. Industry has been forced in sheer selfdefense to enter the political arena or be destroyed as a private enterprise.” General Counsel J. A. Emery declared: “This gathering la a call to arm* “The sentry call should rouse the armies of industry to repulse tbe force* of the alien theory that challenge one political institution* and economic system within our own household." . Robert L. Lund, chairman of the board, said: “The New Dealers bar* been forced to desert some of their boldest experiment* This has came to pass because the American people have demanded a return to common sense and sound buslnes* American Industry has taken the leadership in this combat" PRIVATE bankers comprising the federal reserve advisory council bare handed to the federal reserve board a report giving warning that unless th* board acts to control credit th* country “faces dangerous inflation" and “sneculatlon such as preceded the market collapse of 1929.” a twist rrf rd t Ko t * MkT M fc arsa* tt tested out agntnrt of credit tnflatioa Mfrlrh t n ri» iw three bHHon rthttwra wuAVU Ml** au aww? utixv traxa-tvu of idle bank reserves, the council di* agreed bluntly with the do-nothing

man Marriner S. Eccles and other federal reserve governors. Recommending that the reserve system take action to “eliminate or at least greatly reduce” excess reserves held by banks, the advisory council suggested jhat this end should be achievedbythe reserve banks selling the government securities which they hold.. C ANTA CLAUS is doing big work this year for the merchants of the country. It Is estimated by officials of the Commerce department that the Christmas trade will amount to $4,500.000,000 or half a. billion dollars more, than in December last year. Preliminary holiday trade feports from all parts of the country to the Commerce department Indicated that retail trade already is running from 5 to 35 per cent higher than a year ago. Christmas clubs will pay $312,000.000 to 7,000,000 members. Much of this money will go into Christmas trade. EUROPEAN diplomats, especially thei British and Premier Laval of Franceware exceedingly clever and resourceful. but if they are to extricate

their nations from the prespm threatening state of affairs they will need all their smartness. Though decision as to the imposition of an oil embargo against Italy was postponed until December 12 to give Laval a chance to conciliate Mussolini, the duce refused to make any gesture toward peace. Italians were

authoritatively warned not to mistake diplomatic exchange* between their premier and the representatives of Great Britalri and France as "peace talk." and were told there was no reason to believe Mussolini had modified his minimum terms already presented tu Sir Eric Drummond and Laval’s representative. Also he has declined j further to conciliate Britain by re- I moving more troops from Libya and has repeated his warning that he will consider an oil embargo an unfriendly gesture. He and all Italians are especially resentful against Great Britain, which apparently intends to Insist on the oil ban. And now they are getting very sore at France, despite 1-aval’s efforts to maintain friendly relations between the two countries. There were reports that Italian troop* were being j massed along the French frontier. j One more rather desperate move for I peace was made In Paris when I-aval ! gave Italian Ambassador Cerruti a I "set of suggestions” which were said i to be the last word from France and Great Britain before tbe applying of the oil embargo, due on December 12. | These suggestions were said to be based principally on an exchange of territories between Italy and Ethiopia, the latter to receive It* longsought seaport and to remain absolutely Independent save for the lands granted to Italy. Tbe feeling in Rome was |>esslmlstlc, > and there was noted a general tighten- j ing up of home defense* Troops that j had been expected to depart for the I Ethiopian front were being retained ■ tn Italy, and the order* to the naval ■ and air forces were suggestive. New ' economic measures to resist the sane- : tlons were being put into effect daily. I Tbe British government was en- i grossed with the troublous situation. I Sir Samuel Hoar*, foreign secretary. ; received timely orders from hls physl- j clan to talie a rest In Switzerland, i •nd it was Announced he would stop In ! Parts for a conference with Premier . Laval. The admiralty was preparing tor eventualities and ordered officers j of the royal navy reserve to report at | once for duty at Plymouth. These men have been serving as officer* and engineers in tbe merchant marine. All members of the League of Nation* Including Italy, are exceedingly anxious to know what will be the course of tbe United State* concerning tbe oil embargo. GEN.

DRITISH, Irish and Canadian delegallons opened conversations in ’ Washington with American officials looking to the establishment of transAtlantic air mall and passenger service. It was believed this could be accomplished as soon as reciprocal pacts are signed to allow the landing of American planes on foreign soil. Heretofore this has been blocked by the jealousies of foreign aviation interests. The delegation from Great Britain is headed by Sir Ronald Bands, director general of the general post office. He Is accompanied by C, E. Woods Humphrey, managing director of Imperial Airways, Ltd. Postmaster General Farley announced that he would ask congress at the coming session for funds to start an air mail! service between the United States and Europe. Experimental flights would be made next summer and the route opened in the following year. CANADA’S wheat marketing policy, always a matter of great Interest to wheat growers of the United States, is to be radically altered, according to the Dominion government A new . wheat board has been appointed, head- j ed by James R. Murray, general manager of the Alberta Pacific Grain company. Instead of trying to maintain prices by stabilization operations on the Winnipeg Grain exchange, the board will endeavor to reduce the huge j Canadian wheat surplus by offering wheat for sale at the world’s competitive prices. “The government" said Trade Minister W. D. Euler, “desires to have its surplus restored to a normal basis. To accomplish this the wheat board will seek the good will and co-oper-ation of the grain and milling trades in all Importing countries. “It Is not necessary to have and there will not be any 'fire sale’ of Canadian wheat, but It will be for sale at competitive values and will not be held at exorbitant premiums over other wheats.” — GOOD news for the building Industry. President Green of the American Federation of Labor gives out the word that there will be no more jurisdictional strikes among construction workers. The factions In the building trades department of the federation have found a plan to prevent workmen from delaying construction by strikes over which of two organizations should do a particular piece of work. In the future the contractor is to decide which union shall do the job when a dispute arises, and then If a joint committee of the unions involved is nnable to adjust the difference tin/ question is to be referred to a federal judge as arbiter. SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE WALLACE announced the corn-hog program for/ 1936-37. Designed to maintain a balance between the Inter-

ests of the producer and the consumer, this new plan will permit a 30 per cent increase in hog production next year preparing the way for possible reductions in pork prices to the housewife; and to restrict corn acreage to about 95.000,000 acre* an increase of about 1,400.000 acres, over

the amount harvested thia year. After appraisal by community committees and review by county allotment committees, a corn acreage base and a market hog base will be fixed. Co-operating producers must agree to plant corn next year on at least 25 per cent of their base acreage* They will be permitted to retire from 10 to 30 per cent of their base acreage for soil-improving or erosion-preventing purposes. Hog growers must agree to produce between 50 and 100 per cent of the base market production. The 1936 corn adjustment payment will be 35 cents a bushel on tbe appraised yield times the adjusted acreage. less tbe pro rata share of local administrative expenses. Corn adjustment payment* will be made in two Installment* The first, st tbe rate of 20 a bushel, Is to be made about 1.

DIGEST/ HJ by WILLIAM BRUCKART NATIONAL PRESS BLDG. WASHINGTON?D.C.

Washington.—Since It Is only a few weeks until congress comes back to Washington for the oijf Problem* second session of the Ahead Seventy-fourth congress, some of the problems which Persldent Roosevelt must face have begun to take recognizable shape. There are any number of them, some great, some small, but that one which stands out at this writing involves the alignment shown between President Roosevelt and business interests. It Is a very Interesting situation. Some weeks ago. the President promised business a “breathing spell.” No one knew at that time how long this “breathing spell” was to last nor did anyone £now exactly what It meant beyond the President’s verbal statement that his New Deal program was virtually completed insofar as legislation was concerned. Through a combination of circumstances, the President's promise of a “breathing spell" for business has not only failed to placate business but at the same time has led to a determination on the part of business to go to bat with the New Deal. All of the information I have been able to gather Indicates a distinct stiffening of resistance to the New Deal by all types of business Interests, either corporate of Individual. There can be no doubt that a large segment of business is emphatic in its demand that New Deal spending he reduced. That section of the country’s economic life is determined to force New Deal plans for spending back within the boundaries of what business interests hold to be reasonable. Having that determination, opponents of New Deal spending have at once something into which they can sink their teeth, namely, the annual government budget. In the nature of things. It and the President’s annual message on the state of the Union go to congress in "Its first week of life. That means the country will hear at the very outset of the session something of Mr. Roosevelt’s plans for further cash outlays. The budget cannot be balanced in the next year. Consequently, the government debt, now above $30,000,000,000, will be further increased. It means, moreover, that before long there will have to be additional taxes. These Increases in the tax levies probably will not come before the forthcoming session of congress but they cannot be much longer delayed because retirement of the gigantic debt is pressing even now. v... The business viewpoint, of course, naturally Is concerned most of all with potential tax Increases. Business realizes that once the relief expenditures are cut down, common sense will demand' revision of the tax structure In order that the vast amount of government bonds, notes and bills outstanding shall be liquidated, in an orderly basis. So, tn concentrating at this time on government spending, opponents of the New Deal actually are looking Into the future and planning as far as they can to hold down the tax load they know they must carry sooner or later. It is quite obvious that there will be no change In the way of Increased levies of taxes at the 1936 session of congress because, after all, political parties do not raise tax rates in an election year. But this government Is due to continue as a government for this nation and the retirement of the $30,000,000,000 debt cannot be dodged. • • • Under conditions that always have prevailed, the political party in power ; has always avoided Dimcalt tearing down bureaucTa»h raey in Washington In an election year. The civil lists of the government include most of the local politicians on whom the party in povker ’must depend In Its campaign for re-election. To remove many of them means naturally the loss of power In the local communities and do political party can hope to win by J tearing down its campaign machinery In that manner. Thus, Mr. Roosevelt’s task appears difficult He will be seeking economy In government outlays In an effort to satisfy and reassure business which Is calling for economy. At the same time he is under the necessity of holding his political machine Intact as the vehicle upon which he will seek to ride to re-election. Besides Jhls circumstance, there Is the snarling and gnashing of business Interests at the heels of the New Deal because business leaders contend the government is trying to run everything. Although the NRA is dead, there remain such things as the social security act which carries a tax on business pay rolls: the Guffey coal control law with Its taxing powers, and the steady encroachment of government In business as is exemplified by the Tennessee Valley electric power project It Is do secret that business Interests do not like any of these things and business has its heavy guns loaded to wreck the man who, by introducing the New Deal, must take responsibility for the government policies to which business objects. From the White House and from Warm Springs, Ga., where the President lately took hls annual Twrne to Thanksgiving rest, fconomv there came announcement* both direct and Inspired, that the President was turning to economy In the government outlay. The Information, of an official character, indicated a desire on the part of the President to cut the ordlnary expenditures of the government by $500,000,000 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, IfIML The budget that will go to congress In the first week •f January will cover the so-called

PrwMvnt Roo«*v*lt

ordinary expenses. On the surface It appears that this budget will aggregate about s4,ooo,ooo,ooo—just about the same as the budget for ordinary expenses of the government in the current 12-month period. But there has been no Indication yet what the total of the extraordinary expenditures of the government will be. We have, as you know, really two budgets. The ordinary budget is like the budget that has been used since the passage of the budget and accounting act in 1922. It covers the running expenses of all of the established governmental agencies, provides for all field work and carries appropriations for payment of interest on the government debt and a bite or two for retirement of outstanding bonds. The extraordinary expenditures under President Roosevelt’s practices have been handled separately, being passed by congress in the form of a resolution for recovery and relief or some other such language making a lump appropriation. It will be a matter then to which attention should be paid when the regular budget goes to congress and the President In hls annual 'message gives some Idea of what he proposes to spend for relief and recovery later on. The two must be taken together. Further, I believe if past practices are repeated, there will be White House requests for supplementary appropriations for the ordinary expenditures as well so that the total may not be disclosed for several months after congress meets. • • • Senator William E. Borah of Idaho hls been much In the news lately. He is indulging in a DOKah • sport, or a game, he Activity takes up once each four years. The date of this activity always coincides each time with the maneuvering that precedes the selection *of the Republican Presidential nominee. Congress being In recess, very few sentors or Representatives are In Washington. When they are scattered -to their homes, most of them rate very little publicity outside of their own bailiwicks. So, whether Senator Borah is in Washington or at his home in Idaho, he commands attention and hits the front page whenever he chooses to speak. The current circumstances involving Senator Borah, therefore, are no different than those which surrounded him in previous periods when political discussions ran to Presidential nominees and party platforms, except that Senator Borah this time has commanded a little more attention and hds been on the front pages with his statements to a greater extent than in previous years. , This results from the situation in which the Republican party, being the minority party now, finds Itself. The woods are full of potential Republican Presidential nominees. Favorite sons are everywhere. There are outspoken candidates: there are Individuals who are nibbling at the prospects of nomination and there are those who simply hope that the lightning of the Republican national convention next year may take a peculiar quiver and strike them. In the midst of all of this stands the figure, somewhat bulky, of Senator Borah. He has given every Indication in the last several months: first, that he is not a.candidate for the nomination; second, that he is a candidate for the nomination, and third, that he has not made up his mind. He has done all of these things well and no one knows whether he is a candidate or whether be Is not a candidate or whether he has not made up his mind. Having made quite clear that I am not Informed as to Senator Bprah’s plans, I can fairly relate some of the things that have happened heretofore. I can r,*call for example that many times the Borah maneuvers have bad as their objective the establishment of a political circumstance for the senator that ha» enabled him to exert hnusual influence on the Republican national convention when It came time to write a party platform and select the party standard bearer. I believe It is fair to state that Senator Borah Is a master tactician in this regard. I know that some of the old-line party wheelhorses fear him,and his tactics immeasurably. I have seen 1 evidences of that fear during the last several months and I have no doubt that there will be more of it displayed in the months to come. Astute political observers around Washington contend that the senator’s outward flirtation with the question of a Presidential candidacy 1» nothing more nor less than a repetition of what he has done before. They argue that Senator Borah wants to dominate the 1936 convention of the Republicans and he Is laying the ground work to that end right now. It Is to be remembered as well that the veteran Idaho senator comes up for re-election next year, seeking the sixth consecutive six-year term in the senate. It may be then that the delicate maneuvers going on now and which Senator Borah seems so much to enjoy will serve him well during his own campaign next year. My own opinion Is that the senator has no thought deep down in hls mind that he can or will be the Republican nominee. To do so would spoil the lnde[>endence for which he is noted—and he could not have hls usnal amount of fun Id a campaign. c Western Newepnner Union. Gatheriag Happiness Happiness Is like manna.

Hawaii Discovery Made Possible by Franklin To Benjamin Franklin Is due “safe conduct” that enabled the discovery of Hawaii, today one of the most powerful units of America’s national defense in the west In the Archives of Hawaii, on th* grounds of the former royal palace in Honolulu, reposes a photostatic copy of a letter written from France in 1779 by Franklin, who was then minister plenipotentiary from the United States to the Court of France. The document is addressed to “all captains and commanders of armed ships acting by -commission from the congress of the United States of America now in war with Great Britain," and explains that as Captain Cook’s expedition had been fitted out before America and Great Britain were at war, the great navigator and explorer should be given a safe conduct and not considered as an enemy.

KNOW. Mothers read this: thiih tnn A cleansing dose today; a smaller quantity tomorrow; less each time, until bowels need no help at aIL Why do people come home from a hospital with bowels working like a well-regulated watch? The answer is simple, and it’s the answer to all your bowel worries if you will only realize it: many doctors and hospitals use liquid laxatives. If you knew what a doctoa knows, you would use only the liquid form. A liquid can taken in gradually reduced doses. Reduced dosage is the secret of any real relitf from constipation. Ask a doctor about this. Ask your druggist how very popular liquid laxatives have become. They give the right kind of help, and right amount of help. The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara — both natural laxatives that can form no habit, even in children. So, try Syrup Pepsin.
