EVERAL thousand members of the code authorities gathered in Con- stitution hall, Washington, at the call of the President to revise and strengthen NRA Industrial agree- ments, The opening session was for mal and rather stately, with the mem- bers of the cabinet, other high govern- ment officials and many senators and congressmen present, Before this as. sembly came Mr. Roosevelt to tell not 80 much what had been accomplished in the last twelvemonth as what he hoped for In the near future. He warned the industrial leaders that “the government eannot forever con- tinue to absorb the whole burden of unemployment.” He called for great- er protection of small business, term- ing the code authority “the keeper of Your small Industrial brother” Briefly summarized, this is what Mr, Roosevelt proposed : Wage increases and shortening of hours to bolster consuming power and spread employment. Greater adherence by the Blue Eagle symbol to “play the game.” Continued enforcement of the antl trust laws to retain competition and prevent monopoly, Strict adherence by employers to the law allowing free cholce by employees of representatives to do their collective bargaining, Permanent economie and the lines already started. General Johnson, NRA tor, le autho slons with the blunt announ that the Blue Eagle rules were to be tightened up and assertion: “1 have been too gentle. ‘You ain't seen nothing yet.'"” Urging the industrial- ists to play the game gen- eral altered three wy was that under President the to enforce the act; the faces this spring of strikes in illeghl interposition of en matter of company un that, with the recent conrt decision upholding the New York state emergency ninistra. tion has d fropped all hesitation, and is ready to use the powers of the Indus trial law to the limit {if opposition forces it.

Mr. Roosevelt himself, In a brief address on the occasion of the install ing of Dr. J. M. Gray as chancellor of the American university In Washing ton, said “one of the most salient fea- tures of the salient year in our Amer fcan life has been the amazing and universal increase in the interest” of the peopie In the subject of govern ment. The joint congressional Republican campaign committee took occasion to issue a statement declaring that the administration ends its first year “with many platform pledges untried and practically abandoned, with policies unshaped and conflicting, with its monetary program bewilderingly un certain—a situation baffling enough to prove a hindrance to a return to prosperity.” Replying for the supporters of the administration, Senator Hiram John. son of California, nominally a Repub lean, said: “It is not necessary to agree with all that has been done In every con celvable particular, but unfair and un- just would be the Individual who would not emphatically concede that with an enlightened audacity the President has acted, and has accom: plished amazing results, “It Is a sorry policy 0 120,000,000 people President Roosevelt hat now says t nothing has been done that is right and that the President has brought them no relief, and the future holds for them no hope. “We are better, and our country is better, and our people are better our times are better for what President has done during the year.” and the past EGISLATION to restore the alr mall to commercial operators will speedily be started through congress at the instance of the President. He sent letters to Chairman McKellar of the senate post office committee, Chalr- man Mead of the house postal com- mittee and Chalrman Black of the speclal senate committee Investigating the alr mall, in which he outlined his plan for new temporary contracts and the eventual regulation of alr mall rates and routes by the Interstate commerce committee, The new policy will be for contracts to be let for not more than three years “on full, open and fair competi- tive bldding, with a limitation of the rates of compensation above which no contract will be awarded.” The legislation gram into effect, carrying the Senator McKellar in- dicated, will fix the limit of compensa. tion mentioned by below the prevailing The figure, the sen low as Six mor contract dent Roosevel tion of the of the 1 question of maximum pro- the President far 40 cents per mile, itor sald, may be as 25 cents, before the expires, according to three year Presi- It's suggestion, the ques ind ne. outes and the rate of ed to the ICC, pay Under this plan tr wortation of the malls by alr would be | | the same regulation a hat rallroads, ety } #14 substantial OHN DILLINGER, robber, gang ho was captured wi leader erer. uw Arizona and conv liana for irked eciat In “ou cape-proof” i at Crown Point.

But it has Whether it will, not succeeded yet. remains to be seen that, for the the New Deal plans includes a siz able attack on the vast expenditures be ing made. Mr. Roose velit has been spending money as fast, if not faster, than was spent during the World war, and many persons are now coming forward with the asser- tion that “spending our way out of the depression” may leave the government | with such a debt that our children's | children still will be paying on it. But | right in the face of these attacks, Mr. | Roosevelt has brought forth the CWA | substitute and a request that congress [| appropriate $950,000,000 to pay for it. In the meantime and while the con- fusion has become worse confounded, { It is to be noted that orders have gone | from the Execulive offices to the Dem- | veratic leaders In congress to get new pir mail contract legisiation through in a hurry. This legisiation Is pred. fcated on the theory that private air lines shall carry the air mail. Forth er, there is every reason to believe now that the companies whose con tracts were cancelled so hastily will be allowed to bid again fof the jobs. Postmaster General Farley malin tains the President was acting In ac cordance with law when he ordered the mall coatracts canceled. Mr. Roosevelt has sald so In several differ. ent languages. The fact remains, how. ever, that it always has been the prac tice to accord an opportunity for a hearing, whether the charge be one of fraud or whether it be some other al legation, No hearing was granted the air mail contractors. Indeed, they were given less than two weeks of time before they were off of the job, and the army pllots were doing the work, According to the discussion in congress, it Is quite evident there are many Influentinl persons throughout the country who feel the contractors were not given a fair shake by the It i= to be observed first time, criticism of Hit at Expenditures or The conversations I hear are to the general effect that if the army had been equipped to do the mall carrying job, as some of its general staff mem bers publicly announced, and if there had been no such deplorable loss of life the youthful army pilots Mr. Roosevelt In all like lihood would have had few repercus slons to the cancellation of contracts, But the army planes were not fitted for the job, and there was a deplorable life among the youthful army And on top of that, there criticismn of the cancellation order among a good many of the President's own party in ETess, among a8 occurred, dramatie loss of pliots, Was open COL the air mall con- Mr. Roosevelt, competent ob weathered the would have been few people are crockedness, If the criticism of tracts had come alone, in the opinion of servers, would have storm.

From this outline, it would appear that there had been a great change in the method of dealing out relief, compared with the present system. As far as 1 oan get facts on this new program, however, there is actually little difference. It may serve to create a feeling of new progress, and It may serve to get rid of some of the appointees whose work has not been satisfactory, without causing po- litical strife, but 1 believe the end sought will be no different than the CWA plan. While this has been worked out, there have been new rulings galore respecting the Agricultural Adjust. ment administration contracts with farmers, relating te cotton, wheat, corn and hogs; a new policy also re gpocting treatment of the dairy indus try, and a new setup for handling for. eign trade. The treasury, with its vast gold hoard has had to work out details slowly, but there are myriads of those details. And on top of these, there has come a ruckus In congress where 430 representatives and 30-0dd senators are up for re-election this fall, There is more than a sprinkling of these who want to restore part of the veterans’ compensation that was taken away last year by the economy act, Then, there are the soldiers’ bonus ad vocates, A year ago, Mr. Roosevelt could have sald a whispered “no” on any of these, and his wish would have been an irrevocable order. It Is dif ferent now, however, and the breach between the President and congress is getting no better very fast. © by Western Newspaper Union, TOWN IN MIDOCEAN A vast uncharted island, forerunner of many others which will give to the world a new race is sald by a Berlin correspondent likely to shortly in the North Lt A time in the near future has been visualized when there will be maritime towns moored in the mid- die of the Atlantic and complete wi luxury hotels and landing for aircraft, Fast will be begun from the in between the Is 1d airdromes, with werful wi stations, will be built, Then come the health seekers, Week ers will their have thelr trees The sea will be electricity of gland wellors + rise airplane mainiand discover this doorstens PE. munities carrying Your local ‘ure Pred only 5 cents Vege i ap Freedom in Good.iess *The good man all bad men are glas A .
