THE CENTRE REPORTER, CENTRE HALL, PA. Ww RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S reply to the attacks on Rexford Guy Tug- well, which were renewed by oppo- pents of the administration after the Wirt story was made public, comes in the form of promotion for the head of the brain trust. He has been serving as assistant secretary of agricul- ture, and is now ad- vanced by the Presi- dent to the newly cre ated position of un- dersecretary of agri- ‘ culture, his salary be R. G. Tugwell ing increased from $7.- BOO to $10,000 a year. A as sistant secretary can now be appoint. ed who will relleve Mr. Wallace and Mr. Tugwell of some of their heavy duties.

Denying that those who are advising the President seek to bring about radical changes in the life and economic policies of the American Professor Tugwell described himself as a “thorough con- servative.” “We have a saving irreverence of authority,” sald Professor Tugwell in speaking of the characteristics of the American people, “which gets us out of holes. These basic traits determine the structure of our laws and of our government. No one, with the slight- est sense of history, would try to fit such a people Into a regimented scheme, would try to think for them instead of getting them to think for themselves, “The New Deal is not something which can establish itself in the mind of a dictator or a small governing group. That was the fatal theory of the system from which we are turning away. Its base has to be as broad as the economy which has to be brought under control and as deep as the minds and the hearts of the people whom it affects.” need also adva Coolidge, a Boston assistant secretary of the treasury, been vacant pped out, since The partment r nt basis assembied people, ICTORY in the conference was won by the senate high tax bloe, for the house conferees accepted virtual- ly all the senate increases in estate and gift taxes, the capital stock and excess profits taxes and liberal com- promises over income-tax publicity and consolidated returns, The conference agreement was com- plete except for the Couzens amend ment, adding 10 per cent to all individ- ual Income-tax returns next year, The house will take a separate vote on this, and it was believed the senate would not Insist on it if it were re Jected by the house. With the revenue bill thus disposed of, the senate finance committee be- gan public hearings on the adminis tration’'s reciprocal tariff bill, which the house has passed. ENATORS who urge the remonetiz ation of silver held a conference with President Roosevelt but received from him no encouragement for silver legislation, though no conclusion wag reached. The possibility of silver pur. chases was discussed and the President indicated a disposition to give this matter consideration, but on the whole there was no Indication the govern. ment will embark on such a policy. The silver senators were not at all satisfied with the President's attitude and held a meeting at which eight voted to support mandatory legisla- tion for the benefit of silver, Later it was reliably stated that the President was maturing a plan for in- ternational stabilization of currencies and that silver figures prominently in it. Mr, Roosevelt, It was revealed, fa. vors the Inclusion of silver in the met- al base of currency Issues to the ex. tent of 30 per cent, the remaining 70 per cent to be gold. This change can be safely made, however, the President points out, only by International agree ment whereby all the signatory nations would admit silver to their reserves against which paper money is Issued. In the London economic and mone tary conference Senator Key Pittman offered such a plan, propoging that een. tral banks keep 20 per cent, or one fifth, of thelr metal cover or reserve for currency in silver. The proposal was not acted on at the conference. PICKARD (CRESTER C. DAVIS, head of the Farm Adjustment administration, announced that the national milk con trol program designed to help dairy farmers had been withdrawn “because we do not feel that it has sufficient support from the farmers.” If sentl ment changes it may be revived later, but for the present, only minor fea tures are to be carried out. These include dairy purchases for relief pur- poses and reduction in the number of diseased cattle, The program, worked out after months of study and argument, called for benefit payments of from $165, 000,000 to £300,000,000 to dalryvmen who Joined In the plan. In return, the producers were to reduce their milk flow 10 per cent below the peak months of the 1032-1938 period. As In the case of other farm pro- grams, the funds for benefit payments were to come from a processing tax.

At the instance of President Roosevelt but without government interference they worked out their own settlement after the federal negotiators had falled to get results and Co-ordinator Joseph B, Eastman had withdrawn as mediator. Under the arrangement decided upon the 10 per cent wage cut which has prevalled in the railroads during the last two years is to be gradually wiped out In the next twelve months. Two and a half per cent of the exist ing wage cut is to be restored July 1, another 23% per cent on January 1, and the remaining 5 per cent on April 1, 1635. In other words, Instead of a 10 per cent cut rail workers will have only a 7% per cent cut prevalling between July 1 and January 1, a 5 per cent cut prevailing between January 1 and April 1, and full pay restoration after April 1, ployers and employees are actually more favorable to the workers than the terms which President Roosevelt twice asked them to accept. When Informed of the settlement, Mr. Roosevelt said: “I am very glad that the rallroads and thelr employees have been able to settle thelr wage dispute by mutual agreement. The country should be, and will be, grateful to them for this disposition of what might have de veloped into a troublesome contro- versy. I congratulate both sides on the wisdom and restraint which they have exhibited. They have set a good example.” SCAR DE PRIEST, negro con gressman from Chicago, won a victory In his fight to remove the house restaurant bar against members of his race, He obtained adoption of his resolution for investigation of the right of Lihdsay Warren of North Carolina to fix the rules and regula tions for the restaurant--which of course doesn’t mean that negroes will be served in that dining room.

Washington.~The senate has start- ed another Investigation, It has de termined to go on a Inquiry fishing expedition May Shock into the several in- dustries that manu- facture things that are used In mak- ing war. There will be a long-drawn- out inquiry; there will be selzure of papers and there will be smearing, some Justified and some unjustified, of leaders in the shipbullding, muni- tions and alreraft industries. It Is Hable to be a nasty thing before it is concluded and a report made to the senate, There was no noise about passage of the resolution which was proposed by Senators Nye of North Dakota and Vandenberg of Michigan. The resolu. tion creates a special committee which already has begun work, Its passage actually was noted in the newspapers paragraphs, But the proposition ought to be among those directed, of the ation ution observers is that the Nye started is go- far-reaching effect both Unless the bulk . the Investig have a in domestic Yairs of the » int atl y international One of the ion our gove It 1s naturally that overt disturbed powers follow, and the the Nye-Va ing to disclosn ndenberg comn uation not one there is no reason to bell than that the Impending cate the ove otherwise situa. other words, as 1 see It, disclosures are more than likely war In several parts of the Senator Pope chairman of the that the country is shocked “when it tions of the operations of the shipbuilding, aircraft and munitions While he did not say so, I drew the remarks that he has been collusion of other of Idaho, tempors ittee, tol likely learns the ramifics ituation™ referring 5 comm companies. among some of those Industrial leaders in order to engender {11 will among nations al ready suspicious of each other, any to be used American soldiers later,” said Pope.

Al Bad Time of vs remember the » . for Fishing smashing, closet famous investigation of shipbuilding ac- the Geneva armament ference. The committee smeared one William Shearer when Shearer was serving as agent for several of the shipbuilding concerns. None was sure tivities at con. it would lead. The same can be sald of the current Inquiry. To my way of thinking, however, the inquiry Ils much more Important in the effect It will have upon inter men and women of sound judgment is that thig is an exceedingly bad time for such a fish- Ing expedition. Any disclosure of relations between a munitions com- pany and a foreign nation are going to be seized upon by that nation’s neighbors as evidence and there will be blood in the eye In a hurry. I hope my observations and concln- slong will not be taken as condoning any crookedness. My point is that business relations between a private corporation and its customer should be allowed some degree of secrecy so long as they are not contrary to pub- lle good. Governments are going to buy munitions; they are going to buy aircraft, and they are going to have ships built. The question naturally follows, then, whether it is proper or improper for an American plant to sell something It makes to a foreign nation even if It knows they are to be used In Gghting., I can see where those commodities ought not to be sold for use against America, but our gov. ernment buys such supplies constant. ly and buys them from American mak. ers, If other governments ean buy them here, 1 fail to see why they should not be allowed to do so unless such sales have the aftermath of dragging the United States into war. These Japenese assertions, or in. ferences, that “white hands” must stay out of China are not reassuring, The Inabllity of the Europeans to get together In a solution of their own problems is also disconcerting.
