In that region, where mosquitoes are thick, explorers frequently saw “monkeys with high fevers" drop out of trees and die, dozens of them, victims of yellow fever.

News Review of Current Events the World Over Half Million Farmers May Get Double Federal Benefits— New Processing Taxes Abandoned—Clements Quits as Townsend Plan Secretary.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD C Western Kewepeper Union.

Rexford g. tugwell, bead of the rural resettlement administration, announced that a special committee is considering a plan under which

more than half a million growers of farm products would receive double' benefits from the federal government It provides that the rural families now getting loans from Tugwell’s administration to put them on their feet and keep them off the relief rolls may also receive

R. G. Tuflwelf gabg | dy payments in connection with the soil conservation program now being put into operation. There are now 450,000 recipients of the Tugwell loans and tha, number is expected to Increase to 525,000 by July 1. The soil conservation subsidies are to be paid to farmers who transfer land from commercial crop production to soil conserving growths, or who resort to other “economic" farm practices. Officials said that the rehabilitation clients already are under obligation to treat their soil wisely. Before a family can obtain a rehabilitation loan it must agree to follow a farm management plan drafted by the government This plan stipulates that the borrower must conserve his land's fertility and grow food and feed crops for home consumption. It also Includes a financial budget. Tugwell indicated that examination may show that the farm management plan is so closely in accord with the AAA's soil conservation aims that the rehabilitation clients may already be qualified to receive the AAA subsidies. ONE of the major features of the new tax program suggested by President Roosevelt is omitted from the measure prepared by a house subcommittee and on which open hearings were begun by the ways and means committee. For political reasons it was decided that the plan for new processing taxes on farm and competing products should be abandoned. Mr. Roosevelt’s suggestion for a “windfall” tax to recapture part of the refunded or unpaid AAA processing levies was accepted by the subcommittee. A third suggestion of the President, for graduated taxes on the portions of Incomes which corporations do not distribute tn dividends to stockholders, was changed to provide levies on total income of corporations varied according to percentages of profits put into reserves. The subcommittee agreed that the corporation tax rates should be so drafted as to permit corporations, particularly small ones, to build up reserves for lean years without being compelled to pay comparatively high taxes for the privilege of doing so. The subcommittee figured on collectlng some <25,000,000 from taxes on dividends going to foreigners who own stock In American corporations and <83,000.000 from temporary continuation of the capital stock and excess profits taxes JUST as Chairman G Jasper Bril and his house committee were about to open their inquiry into the finances of the Townsend rid age pension plan

organization. Robert E. Clements, co-founder, secretary and director of the movement, resigned. He was summoned to be the first witness before the committee but said his resignation was not motivated by this, but was solely due to bls opposition to political activities of other leaders of the organize-

tion. Dr. F. E. Townsend in Loa An* geles expressed his “hearty approval" of Clements' action, and It was predict* ed other officials of the movement would follow the secretary's example. Clements appeared before the com* mit tee with a great mass of records, ready to "account for every penny collected." Before testifying he said: **l have nothing to bide. I'm anxious to appear. I hate been responsible for financing the Townsend plan. I have collected around 5550,000 and the organlzaton has spent about 5750,000. There is still 5100.000 on hand.* Chairman Bell had a corps of Investigators delving into activities of the Townsendttes for three weeks. He asserted that leaders of the movement have become “nervous and tense" as the investigation progressed. He promised revelations that will expose the plan as a "promotional scheme to dupe old people." SEVERAL witnesses who appeared before a senate subcommittee declared that the Robinson-Patman antichain store bill, which has administration backing, would promote rather than curb monopolies, increase the cost and lower the standard of living, and decrease employment in whole industries. The hearing was on the Borah-Van Nuys bill, a modification of the Robin-son-Patman measure, but the witnesses particularly attacked the latter, which already has been reported favorably. The house judiciary committee reported the Utterback bin, still another modification of the Robinson-Patman measfire. and a bitter fight over the proposed legislation is expected. The Robinson-Patman bill would prohibit manufacturers from making price discriminations In favor of large quantity purchasers, through advertising allowances, service charges, brokerage

fees. etc. The Borah-Nuys bill would; prohibit such allowances omy when ( they were refused to purchasers of goods of “like grade, quality, and; quantity." ONE of the big fights within the American Federation of Labor has been settled peacefully. It was for control of the building trades department In the past building projects have been held up by strikes growing out of arguments over which of two unions should do a certain' piece of work. The peace pact pro-1 rides for appointment of an impartial referee to settle such arguments. The pact also called for J. W. Williams of the carpenters to head the reorganization department, with M. J. , McDonough of the plasterers as sec-retary-treasurer. Each has been the leader of one of the warring factions and each has styled himself as the lawful department president BENITO MUSSOLINI evidently expects another European war, and in preparation for it he announced several drastic measures on the seven-

teenth anniversary of the founding of the Fascist party. He abolished the chamber of deputies, substituting for It a council of guilds; and be also eliminated the country’s large Industries, leaving the medium and small private Industries In existence. This latter move, he told the council of the 22 guilds of the tor-

■ ' ■■■ Benito Mussolini

porative state, was to Increase the nation’s economic self-sufficiency. “When and how war will come, one. does not know," he said, “but the wheel of fate turns fast" Mussolini asserted the large Industries, particularly those working for the defense of the nation, would be formed into organizations called “key Industries.” These, he said, "wIU be run directly or indirectly by the government Some will have mixed organization.” He drew tremendous cheers from the audience, rising to the gorgeous Julius Caesar ball of the capitol building, on Capitoline hill, when he declared that with this reform, the Fascist party reached fulfillment of Its purposes. Concerning sanctions being applied by the League of Nations as punishment for Italy's war in Ethiopia, Mussolini said: “The siege now In Its fifth month will never bend Italy. Only opaque Ignorance could have brought a thought otherwise.” HAVING sent Joachim von Ribbentrop back to London with a modified rejection of the four power plans for peace in western Europe, Hitler wag preparing his counter proposals which. British Foreign Minister Eden had requested. Meanwhile the relchsfuehrer continued his campaign tour, delivering rousing speeches to defense ( of his policies. Speaking in Ludwig- ; sbafen, In the heart of the remili-1 tarized Rhineland, he said: “Those: who want us to grovel on our knees before agreeing to talk with us forget we are not a tribe of savages, but a European nation looking back on thousands of years of culture. “1 stretch out my hand to France. We want peace for common sense reasons. Germany needs no more fame on tbe battlefield, but Is now getting ready to seek laurels In the Olympic peace competition of nations. Men who relish tbe Indecent thought of victor and vanquished are not statesmen. They must be silent when peace talks start." Most of the continental statesmen who .gathered in London to consider the Rhineland affair went home, some of them in very bad humor over the indecisive proceedings. The French, disinclined to consider any further proposals from Hitler, were urging that the French, British and Belgian general Staffs get together on plans in accordance with the Locarno treaty commitments. IN CONNECTION with tbe signing of tbe new naval treaty by the United States, Great Britain and France, it was disclosed In London that the two first named powers have reaffirmed.the 50-50 ratio for tbelr fleets and again promised not tn compete against each other in naval building. The new three power .pact limits the size of battleships tn 35.000 tons, retains 10,000 tons as the maximum for cruisers and ■ provides no cruisers of that size shall be built for six years. In the expiring Washington treaty there was an article regarding fortification of naval bases. This is not renewed In the new pact, and Japan requested information as to tbe future intentions of the powers. Comsquently the United States, Great Britain and Japan were carrying on diplomatic conversations on th.n topic. The new treaty gives the signatories certain liberty of action in tbe event of unforeseen naval activity by powers not signatory to the treaty. So far as America is concerned, this “escape chose" is taken to apply mainly to Japan. FOURTEEN perrons perished to ( V Mexico’s worst aviation disaster. A big trimotored plane carrying ten European tourists and four company employees crashed on the ridge between the volcanoes Popocatapetl and Ixtaecihustl and there were no survivors to explain why it fell. Among the tourists were Prince Adolf of Schaumborg-Llppe and his wife, Princess EHsbeth.

KOKI HIROTA. the new liberal premier of Japan, declared in an interview: “While lam premier there will be no war”; and continued: “We intend to cultivate our traditional friendship with Great Britain, the United States, Russlß. and other powers, thus fulfilling our great mission of stabilizing east Asia." On the same day that Hlrota made this pronouncement the soviet Russian government ordered its ambassador to Japan to lodge a strong protest following a new bordjr?engagement which Soviet advices said resulted from a Japanese attack on a Red frontier post. Fighting lasted for hours, entailing loss of life on both sides, said the reports, ; C'EDERAL reserve board has preI * scribed a 55 per cent minimum mar- ' gin for purchases of stocks, the ruling ■ becoming effective April 1 for stocks bought through brokers and May I for those bought through banks. The margin regulations were made (to apply only to listed securities on registered stock exchanges, thus having no effect upon the large over-the-counter market The maximum loan value applying to registered stocks has been fixed at 45 per cent of current market value. WITH only one change, the house passed the senate bill to continue the Electric Home and Farm authority as a federal agency until February L 1937, or any earlier date decreed by the President The authority was created to help finance sales of electrical appliances. Henry boyle Somerville. aged and retired vice admiral of the British navy, was murdered by gunmen at his residence at Castletownsend, County Cork, Irish Free State. Thrown through the door of the house was a card bearing these words: “This British agent sent 52 Irish boys into the British army In the last few months. He will send no more.” The admiral had received previous threats because of his recruiting activities. INTREPID citizens of scores of cities and towns In the eastern and New England states which were devastated by the unprecedented floods were digging out their homes and places of business from the mud and debris as the turbulent waters of many rivers subsided. Reconstruction and refitting began everywhere immediately, and this, as well as the relief of the suffering thousands, was aided by funds totaling more than <43,000,000 allocated by. President Roosevelt before he left Washington for Florida. Rough estimates were that the total dead in 13 states were 169; the homeless were 221,500, and the total property damage, <271,500,000. The last figure probably would be tripled If one took Into account the losses from Interruption to Industry and trade and the stoppage of the wages of labor. Cities along the lower Ohio were threatened as the flood waters raced down to. the MlMtsslppi and the Gulf of Mexico, but , they had had plenty of warning and were In a measure prepared. Os course many communities were submerged, but the residents had moved to higher land. ISABELLA GREENWAY, the capable lady who has represented Arizona in congress since October, 1933, has announced in Tucson that she will re-

tire from public life at the conclusion of her present term. She was first elected for the remainder of tbe term of Lewis Douglas, who resigned to become director of the budget, and was reelected in 1934. Mrs. Greenway owns and operates several ranches in Arizona •nd New Mexico and

a hotel In Tucson, and Is also Interested In some mining companies. Undoubtedly she could go back to congress without opposition, but she says she wants to devote more time to her private activities. A girlhood chum of Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Greenway has been a frequent visitor at the White House during her i two terms in the house. STILL refusing to appropriate <12,000,000 for the Florida ship canal, I tbe senate passed the army bill carrying approximately $611,000,000. More than halt the sum goes for the military activities wf the War department There wUI be no reduction to the number of CCC camps during most of i coming fiscal year, and the enrollees will be kept up to about the 350,000 mark. This was the decision of President Roosevelt after a threat ened revolt of Democratic represents lives Induced him to change his mind in the matter. Senator Black, chairman of the senate lobbying committee, has added the Wlcblta Beacon to the papers whose telegrams he has seized or attempted to seize. The list also includes the Hearst publications, tbe Cowles papers, and tbe Times Publishing company of Wichita Falls, Tex. John Henry Kirby, an antl-Roosevelt Democrat of Texas, learned Black bad subpoenaed all bis telegrams and warned the senator not to exhibit to anyone any family or private business messages. C ENATOR WILLIAM E. BORAH is campaigning earnestly for the Republican Presidential nomination, and has just received a big boost for his cause in the announcement that Dr. Francis E. Townsend, founder of the old age pension plan that bears his name, will give the Idahoan all his support Repudiating President Roosevelt and changing his registration at Long Beach, Calif, from Democratic to Republican, Townsend said Borah was the only Republican candidate ’who “even approached” the standard of the Townsendltes, although the senator has refused to indorse the Townsend pension plan as It stands. Hitherto the Townsend organization had favored circulation of third party petitions in every state to enlist millions of people as a demonstration of strength. So the doctor’s announcement is* a reversal of policy.

Washington.—The President’s latest message to congress, asking more than a billion and a Thunder half in new money Over Relief s P €nd on rellef as he sees fit has caused political thunder to rumble again. It has brought out In the open much of the undercurrent of gossip that has been going on about political racketeering with federal funds and it has brought into sharp relief, just ahead of the spring campaigning, the fact that the federal government has used something like <8,000,000,000 under the guise of relief since President Roosevelt took office. ’ Naturally, the situation Is immersed in politics. All of the charges that were flung at Mr. Roosevelt during previous sessions of congress when he had requested that he be given, as he was given, blank checks on the treasury, have been revived. In addition, new accusations and disclosures of petty graft and political machinations have been dug up and flaunted in the face of the New Deal leaders. More and more of these are coming to the surface and there Is no longer any question that throughout the relief organization there is politics. This is true notwithstanding the strongly worded statement by Mr. Roosevelt that politics was not to figure in the administration of relief in any way. All of this leads up to the conclusion that whenever the federal government horns tn on administrative affairs of states, counties or municipalities, the organization becomes so extensive that It is impossible for those at the top in Washington to know what goes on. It Is but another way of saying that the federal government ought to confine itself to federal affairs, matters of national scope Instead of attempting to supersede the local governments In any function. • • • Since we are heading Into a campaign tn which Mr. Roosevelt is seeking re-election, his Charge opposition is making Waste ’ much of two phases of the spending and relief situations. They are stressing the waste that they charge has permeated every phase of the relief effort in the last three years as well as the waste that has taken place In the countless alphabetical agencies that Mr. Roosevelt has built up in the federal government The relief machinery, Roosevelt opponents claim, has been converted into a gigantic political machine, the chief object of which is to re-elect Mr. Roosevelt They claim as well that there has been created a bureaucracy that makes us, as individuals, responsible to a thousand little dictators who act as prosecution, judge and jury over our every coming and going. All of these are harsh accusations but there is enough evidence available now to make It appear that there Is, at least, some truth upon which such charges can be based. Os course, politicians will magnify all phases of every subject which they discuss. The opposition will make the crimes look heinous and the administration spokesmen will make everything look pure. Neither one is justified In going quite to the extent of the Indicated trend. It seems to me that voters ought not be fully convinced by either side but that they ought to examine the picture from the local viewpoint where the evidence is firsthand and where the people who did a good job or who were guilty of fraud or corruption are known to the voters. Then, If in November the election results for the whole country show a preponderance one way or another, the voters will have established their will as being either in favor of or definitely opposed to management of such things from Washington. • • • There are 3,071 counties in the United States. In nearly every one of them, there are a More Republican and a Politics Democratic county chairman. In many of the counties the Democratic county chairmen are trying to use the WPA and its relief setup for political advanties Republican county chairmen are watching for and reporting irregularities There can be no doubt, therefore, that the charges about relief being used politically will increase In number as the campaign progresses If there is ground for the charges. So, it is made to appear that the local voters will have a complete picture of conditions upon which to base their judgment Two recent Instances where important individuals have called attention to alleged corruption and political maneuvering under guidance of relief leaders serve to support the contention I have just advanced that the local communities will have complete facta before them. I refer to the charges by Senator Holt Democrat, of West Virginia, that the whole relief organization in his state is honeycombed with politics and the bitter attack by Governor Pinchot Pennsylvania Republican, upon what he called the manhandling of relief administration in the state to which he formerly was the chief executive. Relief Administrator Hopkins, with the aid of politicians, has denied these charges to toto. Senator Holt called the Hopkin’s denial a whitewash of his own appointees and Mr. Pinchot turned loose a fresh fire. This sort of thing probably will develop to every state in the Union. Some of the charges will be found true and some of the denials will be substantiated. ObviouMy, it Is not a matter that can be dealt with generally and so It behooves the voters to the various communities to look Into the facts for themselves.

I referred to the Presidential message asking an additional billion and a half for relief. Ami Asks This would not have New Taxes created quite so much of a storm had it not followed closely on the heels of the White House request for new taxes. The combination of taxes and an additional appropriation to be used as previous blank checks have been used by Mr. Roosevelt has enabled those who are opposed to the President and those who, while they may support him for re-election, are not in accord with some of his policies, to make public statements of their positions to a better advantage than was possible before. If they had been able only to oppose relief, administration supporters could have accused them of being opposed to the relief of destitute. To put taxes and a blank check together simply offers additional ammunition and a good many members of congress will use It before the new relief appropriation is voted. I think there is no doubt that Mr. Roosevelt will get the money but there will be a great deal of accusing and denying, respectively, before the vote is taken. be necessary in order to “make a record" upon which senators and representatives can seek re-election. When Mr. Roosevelt was voted <4,880,000,000 a year ago, his opponents threw up their hands and said that “you can’t beat $4,880,000,000 for reelection.” Now, one hears observations frequently expressed that while "you can’t beat $4,880,000,000 for re-elec-tion,” it is entirely possible that $4,880,000,000 plus almost that much more may beat itself. In other words, I have attempted here to present a comprehensive analysis of the pros and cons in order to show that since politics has crept tn, has permeated the relief setup, the AAA organization and other New Deal agencies, it is entirely possible for a reaction to develop whereby the vast sum of money would be the cause of defeat rather than the cause of re-election for Mr. Roosevelt. I am making no election prediction. That would be utterly foolish. What I have sought to do, however, plainly and simply, is to show how local communities are going to rule the roost to a greater extent in the 1936 election than usually Is the case. • • • Much Is being made of the President's proposal to tax the surpluses of corporations. I Split on have hitherto reportTwv Plan to y° u something' of the nature of the tax proposals but there have been developments that bring the subject again to the fore. One of these, perhaps the most interesting one, Is differences that have arisen between men who are supposed to be the President's closest advisers. Professor Raymond Moley, now a magazine editor, lately criticized the tax plan most vigorously in his publication. At the same time, attention was directed here to the recorded attitude of Prof. Rexford Guy Tugwell. Professor Tugwell published a book called "The Industrial Decline” not so long ago and in that volume he advocated the control of capital by the “driving of corporate surpluses into the open Investment market” by taxation. These two views simply cannot be reconciled and yet they came from two individuals who have been very close to Mr. Roosevelt In an advisory way ever since Mr. Roosevelt entered the White House. Professor Moley takes the position, editorially, that if, during the depression, American Industry had been stripped of all surpluses, few of even the greatest corporations could have survived. He regards surpluses as life insurance policies for corporations and holds the conviction that unless a corporation is permitted to retain funds as it sees fit, it cannot protect Itself when our economic structure goes into a tailspin such as that through which we have been passing. The difference in viewpoint of these two men shows a sad state of confusion among the “economic planners of the more abundant life,” and demonstrates, among other things, that Professor Tugwell still has very great Influence with the President While we have not heard many of Professor Tugwell’s speeches lately, and it Is probably true, as publicly stated by the opposition, that Professor Tugwell has been muzzled for the period of the campaign, there are many things being done under Presidential orders that have their origin in the Tugwell brain. He is proceeding merrily on his way with the Resettlement Administration program, of which he Is head, and has 14,000 employees on his pay roll. All of which seems to indicate that while professor will not make any more speeches calling upon farmers and laborers to ally themselves against “our common enemy,” he Is still a very effective member of the New Deal administration. e WMtJra NewwMUMr Union, Meaning of "Perplertty” One is perplexed to understanding rather than to feeling; intricacies or unforeseen difficulties perplex.

After First Look, Dumb-bell Longed to Look for Life It Is true that once In a while, at a dinner, for instance, a woman is put next to a man who stolidly stares at his plate and answers “yes” or “no” to everything she says, writes Emily Post in the New York Herald Tribune. * I remember one occasion when a certain very attractive young woman struggled throughout the soup course and the fish course and halfway through the meat course without getting so much as a glance In her direction. Finally she said firmly: “Will you please turn your head and look at me?" He turned a face that was quits blank unless slightly raised eyebrows meant a glimmer of Inquiry. “I want to be sure you know,” said she, “that I’ve tried my best to talk to you, and now I’m going to try no more.” Whereupon she turned to the man on the other side.
