WITH extraordinary speed which the opposition considered indecent, the administration’s new $803,000,000 revenue bill was pushed through the house. The vote, 267 to 93. U;was almost gtr! cll y along party lines. The roll call showed 82 Republicans and only jt W “R 11 Democrats voted against the measure, while four Republicans deserted the minority *Ww■ / - *° cflßt thelr witl * BJB * . J the administration. The bill was handed Sen. Harrison t 0 the senate whose finance committee, headed by Pat Harrison, had been studying It tn secret session* In order to be prepared for the public hearings that opened two days after the house had acted. There had been predictions that this committee would modify the measure, radically, but the opposition to it in Democratic ranks seemed to have faded away and Its passage by the senate without material change was deemed probable. As passed by the house the bill provides : 1. A graduated tax on corporation Income which, it is estimated, will force distribution of $3,360,000,000 more In dividends and yield the government an additional $620,000X100 annually. 2. A “windfall" tax on unpaid or refunded processing taxes Imposed under the invalidated AAA. which Is expected to yield $100.000.000. 3. Continuation of the capital stocks and excess profits taxes for six months to yield $35,000,000. \4. A refund of $35,000,000 to processor who suffered financial losses under the\id AAA. THE $3,000,000,000 Frarier-Lemke (grm mortgage bill, with Its threat of currency Inflation, was blasted out of Its pigeonhole Friday and assured of a vote in the house during the present session. Five representatives signed the petition to remove the bill from the house rules committee, completing the 218 signatures necessary to bring up the bill. Speaker Byrne, Chairman O’Connor of the rules committee, and the other Democratic chieftains, by sheer political power, are said to have held the farm-mortgage, currency-expansion measure In the committee for more than a year under express orders of President Roosevelt The Frazier-Lemke bill proposes to amortize farm mortgages by the Issuance of $3,000,000,000 In new currency. It provides for a sharp downward revision of interest rates on mortgage* DANIEL C. ROPER, secretary of commerce, appeared before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States at its annual meeting In Washington and warned its members, most of whom are persistent | J critics of New Deal policies, that unless private enterprise RE takes up the slack In gffiy'XS' 4 employment, business must pay the relief bill out of earnings. “It Is the responslbillty of all business and Industrial enterprises," said Roper, •* c ’ “and not of one particular segment of the government to increase Ito efforts for greater employment If a substantial measure of Incressed re-employ-meat does not take place the taxation for relief purpose* win come largely from business earnings. There most be re-employment or a longer period of Increased taxation." Roper admitted that the administration had fostered bureaucracy, but Insisted that ft was occasioned by an •OMwveney, and responsibility for its Increase again lay at the door of private borine** Various members of the chamber replied spiritedly. Roy C. Osgood, vice president of the First National bank of Chicago, predicted that If the administration embarked on a sound fiscal program that would inspire confidence, business would make rapid strides toward recovery. He criticised the pending tax on corporate earnings as Impracticable and a brake on business expansion and stability. Fred H. Clausen, president of the Van Brunt Manufacturing company of Horicon, Wls-. told the chamber that the rising tide ot public spending had been "rolling onto our people for five years." and there was no end In sight He declared that the reemployment mandates laid, down by President Roosevelt, Secretary Roper and others were practically Impossible In the fight of the increased burdens heaped on Industry. The American Federation of Labor reported that “little or no progress" bad been made ta reemployment during the first quarter of this year. . The federation estimated 12,184,000 persons were unemployed In March. Seasonal gates In tarinea* and agrirulture. returning 559.000 persons to work, were “about normal," the report laid. /’■CONTINUING the policy of centralL Islng control over the activities of American citizen*, the senate passed a new vocational education bill tatre duced by Senator Walter F.

The measure authorizes an annual appropriation of $12,000,000 to be distributed among the states on a matching basis, in proportion to population. In addition It authorises $1,200,000 a year to be allotted for the payment of salaries and travel expenses of vocational teachers, and $1,000,000 a year to be allotted for the preparation of teachers and supervisors. ■ NO OTHER member of congress has been having so lively a time as has Marton A. Zioncbeck of Washington state, the Playboy of the Western World. He has been arrested, jailed and fined, and has fought with the police; and the other day he suddenly derided to marry Miss Rubye Louise Nix, a stenographer In the accounting division of the PWA at Annapolis. Witji a Washington license he dashed around looking for a minister who had left the city several years ago. Then he rushed to Maryland, obtained another license, woke up a doraine and he and Rubye were made man and wife. Next day Marion led Mrs. Zioncheck into the gallery of the house, and the members all arose and cheered them. Perhaps his actions will be a trifle more conventional hereafter. C'UAD I, king of Egypt, died of a * gangrenous throat infection at his country place near Cairo at the age of sixty-eight. The crown prince. Fa- i rook, a sixteen-year-w' 4 ', y'l ol d pupil in the royal I' military academy : Woolwich. England, was immediately proI claimed king and started for Egypt, sailing from Marsei,,es on a , 4 British liner elcorted by a British warship M| in order to avoid goBr & : 1Q F b - T way ot Italy. Before his death King Farouk. F ua d named a regency council of three to govern the country until Farouk comes of age. The young king, who Is six feet tall and well educated, hopes to return to England to complete his studies at Woolwich. It was feared In Cairo that Fuad’s death would have an adverse effect on the negotiations for a new Anglo-Egyptian treaty which will give Egypt a greater measure of freedom from British control. Fuad, a descendant of Mohammed All, founder of the Egyptian royal house, was the youngest son of Khedive Ismail Pasha “the magnificent" Egyptian sovereign from 1863 to 1879. Great Britain placed Fuad on the .throne as sultan of Egypt in 1917. He became king on March 15. 1922, when Britain abolished Its protectorate and established the kingdom of Egypt REICHSFUEHRER HITLER has made Hermann Wilhelm Goering controller of national economies, and he has decreed an era of Spartan simplicity for the German people. Goering summoned the commissars for raw materials to a conference and warned them they must further restrict Imports and help draft measures to increase exports. Only goods vitally necessary to the army and materials needed to produce goods for foreign export most be allowed to enter Germany, Goering decreed. Officials of the propaganda ministry further darkened the picture of the near future by telling the press it must prepare the public for a “stiffening of relations between France and Germany as soon as the French elections are finished.” They also deplored the fact that relations with England have suffered. ■ The officials asserted they expected a period In which Germany would have to rely on its own resources and demanded that the pres* help create the atmosphere necessary to Induce the public to “do Its share." ITALY’S victorious troops In north- * era Ethiopia continued their advance on Addis Ababa, though it was somewhat retarded by the efforts of the natives to blow up the roadways and otherwise harass the invaders. The Italian motorized column In this movement ta the most formidable yet formed In this war and is notable for the targe number of white troops included. General Grariana’s southern army, meanwhile, was driving toward Harar, second city of the empire, ta three columns. The Ethiopians were putttag up stiff resistance at various points but everywhere were driven back, according to Italian dispatches. When the Italian forces reached Debra Blrhan, only 75 miles from Addis Ababa. Emperor Halle Selassie ordered the capital city left undefended, hoping the invaders would occupy It without bloodshed. The government prepared to move out, and the native Inhabitants all scuttled for the bills.

SYRACUSE JOURNAL

SENATOR ALBEN W. BARKLEY of Kentucky, who was temporary chairman of the Democratic national convention In 1932 and as such delivered the keynote speech, will serve in the same capacity at the Philadelphla convention ta I June, outlining the is- ’'l sues of this year’s campaign as his party views them. Senator ft Joseph T. Robinson of K Arkansas will be the permanent chairman again. Yet another re- Bk. R-.-Si peater will be Former Judge John E. Mack sen ' BarK,ey of New York. Four years ago he placed Franklin D. Roosevelt in nomination, and be will do It again in June. . Those selections were made by the committee on arrangement* Other officers of the convention chosen, are: Lee Barnes of Alabama, chief doorkeeper; Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, national committeewoman of the District of Columbia, hostess of the convention, with Mrs, Agnes Collins Dunn of New Hampshire as assistant; Col. Edward C. Halsey, secretary of the senate, sergeant at arms; Representative Clarence Cannon of Missouri, parliamentarian, assisted by Representative John J. O’Connor of New York; W. Forbes Morgan, secretary ot the convention. National Chairman Farley said that the two-thirds rule, which has prevailed in Democratic conventions for a century, will not be abolished. The rules committee will be headed by Senat-r Bennett Clark of Missouri and It will report for abrogation of the two-thirda rule as well as elimination of the unit rule. The latter binds the state delegations to abide by the decision of a majority of the delegation. According to Mr. Farley, these changes will not prevent the practically unanimous nomination of President Roosevelt PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT made what might be considered the first of bls campaign speeches before the National Democratic club in New York city. Tammany was there in full force, but such disgruntled Democrats as Al Smith and John J. Raskob were conspicuous by their absence. Mr. Roosevelt declared bis purpose to bring more food, higher prices and better homes for the people. •If you Increase buying power," he said, “prices will go up; more goods will be sold. Wages ought to and must go up with prices. This does cot mean unsound inflation or skyrocketing prices; this should be avoided just as we seek to avoid bankruptcy sale values." Turning to his critics with sarcasm, the President said “some individuals are never satisfied." Referring to charges of extravagance and mounting deficits, he said people complain to him about “the current costs of rebhilding America, about the burden on future America." He insisted that the measure should not be the three-bllllon-dollar deficit of this year but the assertion that the national income baa risen thirty-five billions la 1932 to sixty-five billions in 1936. CIVIL war In Austria became a possibility as the quarrel between the Fascists led by Prince Ernst von Starbemberg and the clerical and monarchlst elements became acute. Government ofliclals, howEs; IS ever, were trying des- - perately to patch up tbe trouble - Prince Von StarW hemberg, who Is vice chancellor, in a de- | fiant speech at Horn warned his political ... opponent* that his helmwehr, or home Prines Von guard, would be disStarhemberfl *olved “only over my dead body." Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, speaking at Baden, retorted that "Austria Is not Italy and Austrians are not Fascists.” Von Starhemberg asserted that if Internal foes press too hard there will be a “repetition of 1934”—when the heimwehr triumphed ta a short but bloody civil war against Socialists. False friends surround Schuschnlgg. von Starhemberg said, and the helmwehr plans to protect him from then. For Austria, eaid Starhemberg, there are three possibilities—a continuation of the authority of the state, Nazilsm, or communism. He asserted the beta*wehr Is determined to preserve the Fascist system and would continue as a separate organization. /CONTESTS aided by Mrs. Oliver Harriman. New York society leader, and Alfred E. Smith, Jr., were barred from the malls as “lotteries’’ in orders signed by Postmaster General Farley. The orders were directed against the National Conference for Legalizing Lotteries, Inc, of which Mr*. Harriman is president, and the Golden Stakes Advertising company, of which young Smith ta vice president and counsel. In the latter case a temporary injunction restraining the New York postmaster from enforcing the order was obtained from Federal Judge Knox ta New York. DESPITE strong opposition the Brittab house of lords voted, 62 to 85, to abolish the ancient privilege at Its members to be tried by their peers in criminal proceedings and not before ordinary court*. The movement to abolish the privileged trials of peers was brought on after the recent trial before the house of lords of Edward Southwell Russell, Lord de Clifford. He was acquitted December 12, 1935, on a charge of causing the death ta a motoring accident of Douglas George Hopkins, an automobile driver. ARMY and navy officials were reported to be concerned over a new treaty with Panama which Is being secretly considered by the government It was sate an uncorrected text of the pact showed it provides for “joint conversations" rather than for defense of the Canal Zone ta event of aggression. The grant by Panama for the “use, occupation, aml control of lands aM waters outside the jurisdiction of .the United States," if necessary, is re-

Washington.—One swallow does not make a summer nor dore one statement, even though from a high official, make a condition absolute. But one statement from a Relief high official under Problem the preaent New Deal relief setup comes rather close to disclosing the transcendent importance of the nation’s relief problem ta American economy at this time. ■ I refer to the recent testimony by Harry A. Hopkina Works Progress Administrator and professional reliever, before the house committee on appropriations. He told that group a few days ago that 8353,000 beads of families or unattached persons were receiving a livelihood for themselves and their families from the federal government on March flrat of this year. If this be true, and It can hardly be disproved, there are nearly fifteen million persons dependent directly upon federal assistance. And the condition appears even worse when It is shown that about ten million others are receiving assistance from state, county and city relief or charitable organizations. In short, the Hopkins testimony reveals that about twenty per cent of all of our people are living on relief money. These figures are astounding. They are made the more amazing when one considers that the condition exists even after the New Deal has expended approximately twenty-one billions in Its three years of government management, the bulk of the outgo being directly chargeable to what Mr. Roosevelt has consistently maintained was an emergency. I have reported to you intermittently heretofore the various stages through which Reliever Hopkins has gone in his search for means to solve the relief problem. I have been among those observers here who have felt that even though Mr. Hopkins lacks practical experience in commercial life and even though he casts aside every consideration except those Inherent in the minds of a man who has devoted his life professionally to relief work, tbat he should be given time to solve the problem. It seems to me, however, tbat be has had ample time to find the answer if he is ever going to provide a solution. Neither he nor President Roosevelt has given any indication yet that they know the answer or even have a clew to It The net result of their efforts to date has been the expenditure of money ta unprecedented amounts and the piling up of a debt, the like of which this country never has known. Mr. Hopkins has gone about his job smugly and with that apparent complacency that characterizes the official who is convinced that he alone is equipped to do a particular job. By his attitude, he has created in congress a feeling that he thinks he is a superior being and if anything makes a congressman hot under the collar, it Is to see a member of the executive branch exhibit a pose that the congressmen are dumbbells. Some of them are, of course, but that is not true of all and It Is fast doing Mr. Hopkins no good at all to show arrogance towards the men who go out and campaign directly for the votes of the people. • • • I said that the relief problem was of transcendent Importance in governmental affairs at this Visionary time. That is true bePolicy cause I believe the „ conviction is growing that the whole New Deal policy on relief is Impractical and visionary; tbat It ta founded upon a wrong psychology; that It ta creating ta this nation the greatest mass of panhandler* and “the world owes me a living" type or class of Individuals that has ever existed anywhere and that, in addition the men who are doing the job for the federal government lack the ability to understand its whole significance. A* proof of the observations I have just stated, let me point out how the demands for vast expenditures of money and wholesale methods of relief for the destitute have subsided in congress. Time was when a half dozen so-called welfare workers, college professors or organization leader* could get a bearing by the simple crook of a finger before a congressional committee. Such men as Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, and Senator Costigan of Colorado, and the late Senator Cutting of New Mexico, to mention only a few, would weep salty tears ta senate speeches; they would call for ten billions for this and five billions for that and other billions for other things and shout that people were starving in the midst of plenty. And they were starring ta the midst of plenty, but the shouting and the tumult raised by these political savior* did not provide a solution for the problem. I have a bunch that the silence of such men as these through the last year can mean only that they now see they were off on the wrong foot They cannot help but realize that their theories were ail wet because Mr. Hopkins certainly has disproved- the value of their plana Another Indication of how congress feels ta the movement to divide the billion and a half relief fund, which President Roosevelt asked, between Mr. Hopkins and Public Works Administrator Ickes. The President demanded that congress give the whole fund to Mr. Hopkins. It probably will wort out that way eventually but the feeing against Mr. Hopkins cannot be denied. It ta violent and only a small part of It has come to the surface. The congressmen could not afford to see the flow of money cut off ta an election year ao they maneuvered to spank Mr. Hopkins by seeking to give a portion of the money to Mr. Ickea Now, it ta currently rumored tbat Mr. Ickes, who never has liked Mr. Hopkins, has done some lobbying In .he fine underground manner of which iie to capable. He sincerely believes . .. ’ , ; .. ‘ ® .

that the use of funds in the construction of permanent tbings like buildings, roads and bridges gives the government and taxpayers at least something for their money. But, be that as It may, the ground swell against Mr. Hopkins to very powerful and if Mr. Hopkins possessed any understanding of the science of the times be would see it Thus far he has given no indication that he understand* what it means. * * • Where will It all end? The answer to this relief problem ta not now near H'7»af , s enough to hazard a the Answer? goess. Let us go back for a brief review. When President Roosevelt took hold of the relief problem early ta his administration, be advanced two theories. They were to solve our problems and solve them quickly. He urged the NRA and the PWA, which with the AAA, formed the first battalion of the alphabetical army. The NRA was designed to regiment business and indirectly force reemployment by the shortening of hours and the spread of work. The PWA was to provide a lot of construction jobs immediately, giving work to those not absorbed in private commerce and industry and thus take up the slack until buying power of Individuals had been restored. By November, 1933, it became quite evident to unbiased observers that NRA and PWA were falling short of the mark. So, out of tfie Presidential hat came the CWA. Congress promptly provided funds so the Civil Works administration —and here is where professional reliever, Mr. Hopkins, came on the scene—could hire unemployed who had not been absorbed by PWA or had not been restored to jobs in commerce and. industry by NRA. It was not long until CWA was as much in disrepute as the original schemes for providing employment I believe it was In even greater disrepute because ordinary citizens could see the utter waste and the reckless expenditures of money occurring under CWA for its relief raking and stone gathering and other nonsensical job-creating results. CWA went the way of any unsound proposition. Forward then came FERA. It was a proposition of emergency relief. Washington writers were deluged with speeches and statements that none should be allowed to starve. The spigots of the treasury were opened wide and $4,880,000,000 gushed forth. In every section of the country, federal money was distributed and distributors in Washington were none too careful of how they passed It out. In parallel lines with FERA, the politicians formed to the right They saw the money and from precinct to pinnacle of politics, they were on the job and they have been on the job ever since. Last year, the President’became convinced that there was too much waste; that FERA was Too Mach building up a clienWaste tele of millions who were saying, both publicly and privately, that it was no use to work when the government would feed them and he ordered a quick change In course. With this change in course came a locking of horns between Messrs. Hopkins and Ickes. Mr. Ickes was licked by the simple expedient of a new federal agency. Bounding forth came Mr. Hopkins' own brain child, WPA. While it stands for Works Progress administration, a different name, the initials, to those who have studied the situation, spell FERA and CWA combined. The President announced to the country that “this business of relief must end." Those who could not be employed must be taken care of by the states and local governments and those who were employable would be taken off relief but they must do work for the funds which the federal government passed out to them. The result has been a considerable mess and there to not a day goes by tbat congressional mail does not reveal cruel results, absolute destitution and hardship and privation unparalleled ta the United States. Where will It all end? “This business of relief’ to still relief by whatever name the alphabetical agency in Washington may be known. It can be only relief and there can be no doubt that It must be continued. Although President Roosevelt had demonstrated his willingness to make shifts ta bls program, it is becoming more Ihta-Biore evident tbat a fundamental alteration of his whole scheme must be undertaken. How it will be done. Is a question upon which there to violent disagreement. I hope, however, that the number who followed the lead of the original shooters for vast use of federal money to diminishing and I believe that number ta growing smaller as they see the futility of their efforts. • WMtera Newapaper Union.
