England's battleships, submarines and airB planes In the Mediterranean. intended to intimidate Italy and keep down discontent in Egypt, represent no real war. England occasionally discharges light “depth bombs” in the Mediterranean, “bringing Italian submarines popping like corks to the surface." Yet the government tells Arthur Brisbane the house of commons this Imitation war costa British taxpayers Are hundred thousand pounds a month. . - - The twenty-four-year-old widow of a Japanese officer who committed suicide after the recent rebellion sends a letter of apology to “Your august majesty," the Japanese emperor, saying: “I believe the spirit of my husband, whose body lies in a coffin before me, also sorrows for those who feU." A most serloui people, the Japanese, particularly where their emperor is concerned. Doctor Dafoe, modest man from 1 Canada, who understands quintuplets, dropped In to say the five little girls are dolqg well, fighting frequently, sign of a norma) condition. They like sleeping outdoors with the weather 30 below zero, but In daytime only. It would delight you to see their red cheeks. Three hundred and seventy-five thousand visitors, nearly all from the Unit- I ed States, came to look through a fence at the quintuplets last year; 500,000 are expected this year. The baby girls are a wonderful advertisement for Canada. Many that go to see them i will buy farms and stay. A democratic young person Is Edward the Eighth, new king of England and emperor of India. Broadcasting to 200.000.000 that live under the British flag and occupy one-quarter of the earth's surface, he does not refer to them as subjects" or "my people," as bis predecessors did, but calls them “fellow men” And Edward VIII does not refer to himself as “we," which is customary with other rulers. Bls father spoke of “my empire’' and “my dear people" and called himself “we.” President Roosevelt submits to congress a plan to increase heavily income texes of corporations suspected of holding many billions of profits not distributed. The taxes might run to over 83 per cent You never can tell what Wall Street will think. President Roosevelt's taxation program sends stocks up. Perhaps Wall Street has no "undistributed reserves." Great industries will not be forbidden reasonable cash surpluses, presumably. Such a rule would make expansion and increased employment impossible. A Joint resolution tn the bouse and senate suggests a congressional medal of honor for the late Gen. William Mitchell, bead of the American air fortes in the big war. Faw congressmen would vote against a tribute to a man who fought so well for his country. and the medal would please his widow and children. If congress wants to honor the memory of General Mitchell as he would wish. It will build more airplanes and lead the world in aviation Instead of trailing. Uncle Sam paying rent to Panama for the canal, offering the usual $250.000 rent installment, was told: “No, we do not take 50-cent dollars." Washington admits that while It may try interesting experiments with Its own money, and tell Its own citizens "Gold Is too good for you," it has no right to make the outside world suffer. Panama will get an amount of money equal to 250,000 of our dollars before we slid off the gold basis and into the “inflation bond" era. Sometimes government ownership gets things done.

r . /CONGRESSMAN SAM B. HILL of . Washington and bls subcommittee j of the house ways and means committee took up the heavy task of de- . termlning how the new revenue <> f sl,t 137,000.000 called for . 1 by President Roose1 velt should l»e raised. Treasury officials rec- | ommended that an avt J erage tax of 33% per cent should be levied '' on undivided corporation p ro,i:s an<] 11 k •; tax of 90 per cent on _ all refunded or unpald AAA processing taxes. In this the fiscal experts followed the suggestions of Mr. Roosevelt They told the subcommittee that the proposed corporation surplus tax would yield the government $020,000,000 annually. The President has estimated that this amount will be needed to finance the new farm program and the soldier bonus. The so-called “windfall” tax on processors who successfully challenged the AAA In the courts, it was be- ' ileved. would yield another $200,000.000. This will be used to reimburse the treasury for losses suffered as a result of the Supreme court's Invalidation of AAA. There remains an additional $317,000,000 which It is proposed to raise through excise taxes on a wide range of farm processors. Chairman Hill said the experts and the members of the subcommittee were j agreed that the tax on undivided surplus should not apply to banks and life Insurance companies.. There was wide divergence of'‘opinion concerning this tax among leadI ers in congress. Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, Democrat, for instance, declared himself against It as an unnecessary additional burden on business, and Indicated he would support, Instead, a plan to ..tax the income from federal securities now exempt. Senator Borah. Republican, said that In principle be endorsed the plan of taxing undistributed earnings, while Senator Hastings of Delaware, also Republican, denounced it as “confiscatory.” Senator King of Utah, Democrat, and Representative Knutson of Minnesota, Republican, were moved by the program to demand immediate cutting down of federal expenditures, and in this Mr. Borah concurred. Speaker Joseph W. Byrne and Majority Leader W. B. Bankbead professed , to see no difficulties in the way of the proposed measure. One thing that boosted the chances of the President's tex program was a report from Secretary of Commerce Roper that corporation income in 1935 was 300 per cent higher than in 1932. IN THE course of his probe into the affairs of enemies of the New Deal, Senator Black of Alabama, chairman of the lobby committee, assumed the right to seize and examine their private telegrams, and thus his investigation was carried into the courts. Silas Strawn, Chicago attorney learned the committee was about to subpoena his telegrams and be obtained a temporary injunction blocking such action. He has asked the District of Columbia Supreme court to make this Injunction permanent The wholesale examination of telegrams was attacked by Representative Wadsworth of New York, and defended by Senator Black. “It strikes me." Wadsworth said, “that we have reached a strange stage In the development of democracy when private correspondence can be seized without court procedure or search warrant" Black said: “Repeatedly It has been held that the senate can call for what It pleases. There appears to have been a concerted effort by those who seek to influence legislation behind the scenes, through subterranean channels, to prevent us from getting evidence." It was reliably reported In Washington that the federal communications commission, which has jurisdiction over telegraph companies, has seized millions of telegrams from the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies and turned them over to the Blade committee. ON THE third anniversary of his Inauguration President Roosevelt pushed an electric key In the White Home which net In tpotion machinery that dosed the sluice gates of the Norris dam In the Tennessee Valley project This signalized the completion of that part of the vast work on the Clinch river. "I hope as many people as can will go to see the Norris dam In eastern Tennessee." the President said in a formal statement. “It exemplifies great gineering skill, high construction efficiency. and. above all. It is the key to the carefully worked out control erf a great river and Its water spread over parts of seven states. “The Norris dam Is a practical symbol of better life and greater opportunity for Bullions of citizens of our country. The nation has come to realtoe that national resources must Dot ba wasted and the Norris dam to evidence that our program for conservation of these resources Is going forward." QENATOR BORAH nd Senator Van O Nuys of Indiana, the latter a Democrat, Introduced a Mil directed against* certain practices of the chain stores.

The so-called Robinson-Patman antimonopoly bill, also aimed at chain stores, will be passed by the senate I before very to a promise made x^jr^wnator Robinson to a 1 mass meeting of 1,500 independent mer--1 chants who went to Washington to lobby for the measure. This bill legislates 1 against special prices, rebates, adver- ‘ rising allowances and brokerage fees 1 giving sales advantage to chain stores. Governor Landon’s boom for the Republican Presidential nomi “ nation Is progressing In away that 1 must be pleasing to his supporters. Kansas Republicans in a state convention pledged him the state’s 18 delegates to the Cleveland convention, declaring him to be “the best-fitted candidate." That Kansas should support its governor is natural and expected, but he also is garnering a good many delegates elsewhere, and Indorsement In some statefl where the delegates are uninstnicted. * Sentiment favorable to Landon appeared In New Jersey, and Hervey S. Moore of Trenton, a Republican leader, was contemplating starting an active campaign for him in that state. Most of the county chairmen are In favor of the Kansas governor. THROUGH Its committee of thirteen the League of Nations appealed to Benito Mussolini and Km peror Haile Selassie to consent to Ima mediate negotiations for an end to hostilities and a definite re-establishment of Italo-Ethlopian peace. Though consideration of the proposal by his chblnet council was delayed a few days, Mussolini, according to advices from Rome, was disposed to acquiesce provided terwuwppa rhory ln al . ready occupied by Italy is considered hers and left out of the negotiations. Halle Selassie accepted the proposal without reservation. In recent days his armies tn the northern sector have been routed tn big battles and have lost many thousands of men, and the Italians have penetrated far toward the interior of the country; and In the South the invaders were preparing for • rapid advance. Back of the league's appeal was the standing . threat of extension of sanctions to include an embargo on oil This suddenly brought about a situation rather disconcerting for the league. Dr. Giuseppe Motta, Swiss foreign minister, gave a warning that if the oil embargo was applied his country might feel It necessary to leave the league In order to preserve Its neutrality if the consequent threatened war In Europe resulted. Motta pointed out that If Italy quit the league and hoallities ensued, Switzerland, through her membership In the league, would appear in Italian eyes as a party to a hostile coalition, and would be subject to invasion, by Italy on one side and perhaps by Germany on the other. BRITAIN'S government evidently believes another war is coming, and Intends to be well prepared. It made public a gigantic program for increases In the army, navy and air forces and for swift mobilization of man power and Industry. No official cost estimate was given out but authorities said the total over a three-year period sgmld be not less than one and a half billion dollars. The program indudes these features: Army—Four new battalions of Infantry are planned. All units are to be modernized, mechanized, and reequipped. Especial attention will be paid coastal and anti-aircraft defenses. Navy—Two new battleships next year and an Increase In cruiser strength from 50 to 70, with five new ones to be laid down this year. Naval personnel also will be increased by <I.OOO, a new aircraft carrier will be constructed, and the air arm of the navy will be strengthened. Air Force —About 250 new war planes will be added to the home defense squadrons, bringing the total to 1.750. Twelve new air squadrons for Imperial defense—that is, air forces available for transfer to danger areas—will be added, and more pilots will be recruited. Following this announcement the annual naval estimates were submitted to parliament They call for $349,050,000. an increase of $49,400,000 over the previous year. THE federal reserve board announced a big shake-up that win terminate the services of six regional bank chairmen, effective April 80. The men to be dropped are Eugene M. Stevens, Chicago; F. H. Cnrtiss, Boston; J. H. Case, New York; R. L. Austin, Philadelphia; J. S. Wood. St Lotos; and Q C. Walsh. Daßas. Three present chairmen were designated to contiuue until December 31. They are E. S.

SYRACUSE JOURNAL

JAPAN was calming down after the amazing revolt and attempted coup d* etat of a thousand soldiers led by a group of young “fascist” officers who thought the Okada government was hampering the military progress of the nation. So far as can be judged at this distance, the net results of the uprising were: Admiral Viscount Makoto Saito, former premier and lord keeper of the privy seal; Korekiyo Takahashi, minister of finance, and Gen. Jotaro Watanabe, chief of military education, were assassinated by the rebels. Premier Okada escaped death, his brother-in-law being mistaken for him and Main. The mutineers, threatened by loyal troops and the fleet, obeyed an edict by Emperor Hirohito and surrendered. Os their 23 leaders, two committed suicide and the rest were put in prison to await probable trial by court martial. » The immediate concern of Emperor Hirohito and his advisers was the selection of a man for premier who could form a new government that would satisfy the various parties. First Prince F'umimaro Konoye. young president of the house of peers, was asked to undertake this task, but he declined on the ground of poor health. Then the choice of the emperor fell upon Koki ■ Hirota, a moderate who Is well known In both the United States and Russia. Hirota at once began picking out his ministers, saying: “My cabinet will be 1 composed of young able statesmen.” Hirota’s selection was taken to mean that the emperor has determined to proceed with the modernization of the country, and to exercise his power to rule Instead of permitting himself to be the exalted agent of military overlords. MAJ. GEN. WILLIAM WEIGEL, retired, one of the army’s most reliable commanders, died in the army hospital on Governors island at the age of seventy-two. He served 44 years, through Indian campaigns, in the Spanish-American war and In the Philippines, and went to France in the World war as a captain. He was rapidly promoted through grades, to brigadier general on August 15, 1917, j and to major general ?on August 8, j 19’8, when he was given command ! of the Eighty-eighth division, a new national army unit which he trained and took overseas. Previously he had commanded the Fifty-sixth brigade. Twenty-eighth division, a Pennsylvania Outfit, at Chateau-Tbierry. The brigade crossed the Marne and captured Epid and CourpoiL From July 4 to September 5, 1918, General Weigel was continuously under fire. He led the Eighty-eighth division in the final days of the war, taking part in all the operations in the Toul sector and beyond. He was cited three times for bravery by the French government, receiving the Croix de Guerre, and was appointed a commander of the Legion of Honor. He also held the Distinguished Service medal awarded by the United States government. .1 MORE than 150,000 workers in 11,000 buildings in New York city were called out on strike by James J. Bambrick, president of the Building Service union, and the sky-scrapers from the Battery to Washington Heights were badly crippled. Elevator men stopped their cars, furnace men banked their fires and scrubwomen threw down their mops, and all marched out of the buildings and formed picket lines. > There was some scattered fighting between the pickets and men hastily hired to take their places. Since the strike affected not only office buildings but Innumerable apartment buildings also, the occupants of the latter were deprived of heat and telephone connections, and In many cases sick persons were marooned without food supplies. This lead, Mayor La Guardia to call the city j health officials into conference, and to declare a civic emergency and order Health Commissioner Rice to see that fires were stoked and that trips neces- ; sary to health of the tenants and care of the sick were made In all residence buildings of more than six floors. ■'•■ ■ : | IMMEDIATELY after President Roosevelt signed the new soil con-servation-farm relief act passed to take the place of the invalidated AAA, Admlaistrator Chester C.

Washington! Digest National Topics Interpreted By WILLIAM BRUCKART saxOnal. rJtss s IOG Washington ? c

Washington.—A routine War department order came through the other day which said, crypThandtr tically: Ouer Hagood “By direction of * the President, Maj. Gen. Johnson Hagood, U. S. A., Is relieved from assignment to the command of the Eighth corps area and further duty at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Major General Hagood will proceed to his home and await orders." Each day, there comes from the War department anywhere from two or I three to a couple of dozen orders by j which army officers are transferred from one post to another, from one ! assignment to another or given new in- ! structions. It Is not unusual at all. That Is why I said at the outset of this item that the order respecting General Hagood was routine. But it was routine only In the language that was used. Otherwise, it was significant Just how significant It will prove to be remains as a secret to be unfolded by the future. Suffice to say that seldom has one minor incident of government administration created such a storm as this army order because it has become a political issue. General Hagood Is the third ranking officer tn the United States army. He has been in the service something like forty years. His record Is generally regarded as distinguished, but at the same time he has never been a pussyfoot He has j spoken boldly, sometimes too boldly I and sometimes out of turn, yet I think ! It is generally agreed that General Hagood is sincere. But t® bacic of th e “routine army order" by which he was summarily relieved of his command at the important army post of Fort Sam Houston, we find a record of General Hagood's testimony before an appropriations committee In the house of representatives. In that testimony. General Hagood spoke with his usual bluntness. He apparently offended somebody when he did it His testimony has been criticized and commended, the War department and Secretary Dern have been attacked and defended and even President Roosevelt has been dragged into the controversy because somewhere, somehow New Deal opposition has become convinced that President Roosevelt and Secretary Dern punished General Hagood by removing him from his post because he dared to point out flukes and flaws and ridiculous aspects in New Deal policies of handling taxpayers* money. • • • General Hagood was called before the appropriations committee by its chairman and told Speaka to express his can- ' did sentiments, his honest convictions and any constructive suggestions be might have respecting improvement • of the United States army. The general, somewhat blusteringly, related to the committee that the army must have additional housing facilities. He related conditions In many army posts and asserted that many persons on relief were accorded better places to live than Uncle Sam’s soldiers. That part aroused no particular controversy but when General Hagood told the committee of the difficulty the responsible army authorities have In I getting money with which to provide better housing for the soldiers, he stepped on administration toes by saying that it was more difficult to get “five cents for a pencil than a thousand dollars with which to teach Civilian Conservation corps boys new bobbles or boondoggling.” He said be could get a hundred dollars to build a gravel walk and a rose garden but could not get ten dollars with which to repair a broken steam pipe in an army barracks. The next outburst by the general brought forth his description that money being handled by Relief Administrator Hopkins was stage money; that nothing worth while or of a permanent character was being done with that money and the explanation that he called It stage money because “it is being banded around and you can do nothing with it in the end." His plea was that some of these funds which he said were being otherwise wasted should be employed to build structures of concrete and steel “that can be shown to our grandchildren 50 years from now." ’ -, In bearing General Hagood’s testimony, the committee understood that the War department had given him permission to speak freely. Indeed, such assurance bad been passed along to the committee from the War department but apparently the War department did sot know what General Hagood had on his chest If It had known, it certainly could have expected exactly such expressious beesuae General Hagood never has pulled Ms puDchea. He has said each time what be thought • • • By saying what he thought, however, he undoubtedly moved across the line of discretion. Army officers must guard their speech. They are under disciplinary regulations. It has to be so. Otherwise, we would see frequent outbursts by army officers ta opposition to established policies, rules and regulations and it takes do stretch of the imagination to see what a disordered men would result • • • On the other hand. General Hagood was certainly privileged to believe that bls observations were Thon tho being made only for Storm committee of eon- . gaeee before which be appeared. The doors to the committee room were closed and locked and ohly eooutottee members were to attsndanm. It haffganedL however, ft l **

subsequently the stenographic record of the committee hearings was made public and when that happened, the storm broke. Almost simultaneously with the removal of the bond of secrecy on the committee record, the War department order dehorning General Hagood was written. When that happened, the politicians literally blew up. They shouted charges of censorship, terrorism by the President and Secretary Dern, dictatorship, political punishment and half a dozen other vicious accusations. A few of the administration spokesmen in congress defended the War department action. Almost in the same breath these administration spokesmen sought conferences with Secretary Dern and others In an attempt to persuade the President and the war secretary to soften the punishment but those moves were futile and Representative Blanton, Texas Democrat, shouted on the floor of the house that the Hagood punishment would cost the Democratic party “a million votes unless It were withdrawn." As a part of the defense of the War department action. Gen. Malin Craig, chief of staff of the army, made public his memorandum to the secretary of war respecting General Hagood’s attitude and his testimony before the congressional committee. In the course of this 2,000-word memorandum. General Craig described General Hagood as a “wise-cracker,” and he was probably correct in so far as General Hagood’s remarks about stage money were concerned. Yet, I have found very few among the Washington observers whose opinions are worth while who saw in the Craig memorandum any real Justification for the severe punishment meted out to General Hagood. The order still stands. General Hagood Is going to his home Iri Charleston, S. C„ “to await orders." No one familiar with the army procedure expects that General Hagood ever again ,will be given an army assignment. He will be sixty-four years old nett year and at that time automatically retires from active duty. So there Is hardly any question but that General Hagood has held his last command. The whole situation, suddenly come to be known as the Hagood case, Is bound to be multiplied and mirrored. It will figure in the coming political campaign because, however justified the War department action may have been in the interest of discipline and good army administration, there are thousands of Individuals who never will be convinced that the Hagood removal was for any purpose other than as punishment because he criticized New Deal spending policies. • • • Although there is. and can be, no connection between the two, it was the basis for a really huU. S. at morons reaction that Dallaa Fair during the time when the controversy raged over General Hagood's removal from his Texas army post, a federal government committee was busily engaged In making plans for federal participation in the Texas Centennial exposition which opens at Dallas June 6. Uncle Sam Is spending $3,000,000—-the largest sum congress ever has, authorized for federal participation in such a show—so that twenty-odd government agencies can display to exposition visitors what the government has done with its billions since the cards were shuffled for the New Deal. The Agriculture department, as usual, will be represented by the largest of all federal exhibits. The Commerce department and the State, War, Navy, Treasury, Justice, Post Office, Interior and Labor departments will have their booths or buildings. The Federal Housing administration and the Farm Credit administration will be there with displays of their wares, and the Public Health service will attempt to further the cause of health In its usual splendid fashion. One unusual feature of the government’s participation will be a negro building in wMch it will tell the story of the negro race and its progress since the first stares were brought into America. Plans call for the use of negro labor in the construction of this exhibit building and as far as possible negroes will prepare the exhibits.
