By EDWARD W. PICKARD RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S Intest radio talk with his fellow citizens was well written, well delivered and peculiarly vague as to his future in tentions. He sought to reassure business and labor, both of which are questioning him anxiously, but he made no definite re plies to their categor ileal queries. His one specific statement was that within a month he would seek to ne gotinte a truce be tween large groups of employers and large groups of employees through which there would be a cessa tion of the strikes that have been dis rupting the nation’s business. He sald he would ask the representatives of Prusident Roosevelt questions of wages, hours and working conditions, and that with such agree ments in force he expected further ad- justments would be made peaceably, through governmental or private medi- ation, “1 shall not ask either employers or weapons common to industrial war,” he added. “But I shall ask both groups to give a fair trial to peaceful methods of adjusting their conflicts of opinion and interest, and to experiment for a reasonable time with measures suitable to civilize our industrial civilization.” By way of reply to the appeals of many business, leaders that the more of the administration's abandoned, Mr. Roosevelt declared the New Deal is to go on. To the ques tions of those leaders concerning bal ancing of the budget, government ex- penses, further devaluation of the dol lar or return to the gold standard, he made no reply. However, he did de clare himself in favor of a system of business based on private profit. Then he said: “l am not for a return to that def) nition of liberty under which for many years a free people were being gradu ally regimented into the service of the privileged few, 1 prefer and I am sure you prefer that broader definition of lib erty under which we are moving for ward to greater freedom, to greater se curity for the average man than he has ever known before in the history of America.” Concerning the NRA, the President gave praise to General Johnson and sald the national recovery administra tion was entering Its second phase, “which is in turn a period of prepara tion for legislation which will deter. mine its permanent form.” He admit ted there was a question as to the wisdom of some of the devices em- ployed during the first phase of the NRA, but decried the attacks on the constitutionality of many of the things his administration nas done, “We are not,” he sald, “frightened by reaction ary lawyers or political editors. All these cries have been heard before” Near the beginning of his address, the President said: “1 am happy to report that after years of uncertainty, culminating in the collapse of the spring of 1933, we are bringing order out of the old chaos with a greater certainty of the employ- ment of labor at a reasonable wage and of more business at a fair profit These governmental and industrial de velopments hold promise of new achievements for the nation.” First formal response to the Presi. dent's speech came from the National Association of Manufacturers, which urged him to Issue a proclamation for a “truce on Industrial warfare” during hich existing employment relations would be continued, and challenged the American Federation of Labor to take like action. Its statement said: “The President will find employers willing to sit down with him, as he proposes, to devise means for ending the constant series of strikes which have been ne of the major obstacles to recovery.” Green and Morrison, respectively president and secretary of the federa- tion, sald this was a subterfuge and that the magufacturers should first publicly announce they would obey the decisions of constituted authorities, es pecially concerning discrimination and collective bargaining. radical measures HILE President William Green and some other leaders of the American Federation of Labor, just convened In San Franclsco, expressed approval of what Mr, Roosevelt said in his radio address, many others prom inent in the federation are far from satisfled with the way things are go ing. The executive council's annual report devoted pages to an analysis of the effect of the NRA upon the inter ests of labor. Almost without excep tion, the effects were found either di rectly harmful or at least unsatisfac. tory. y The criticism was directed at the workings of the recovery program, in actual operation. The NRA and the New Deal itself were not condemned, But the committee Indicted the pro gram on these main grounds: That it has falled to Increase the purchasing power of workers, - That because it has failed to reduce hours of labor sufficiently it has also falled to create a satisfactory number of new jobs, That its compliance machinery 1s in. effective, with the result that viola. tions of the spirit of the codes are eas. ily accomplished and quite general, Labor does not have proper repre sentation In either code enforcement or administration. “In one way,” the report says, point. ing to what seems to be viewed as the only satisfactory accomplishment thus far under the NRA, “codes have ful. filled expectations, They have with few exceptions wiped out child labor,” RESIDENT GREEN in his address to the Federation of Labor declared the establishment of the 30-hour week was one of the possible means of wip ing ont unemployment, and sald those oppos ing It have offered no other remedy. First actual results in the campaign for this were announced later to the convention by Frank Feeney, presi dent of the Elevator Constructors’ union What he called the “greatest labor docu ) F ment ever written” William Green has been signed-—a five-year agree ment with contractor employers pro viding the six-hour day, five-day week for the 19.000 members of the union on a pay basis of the eight-hour day. mediately, Feeney sald, in any locality ing trades unions agreements, The document also provides for an absolutely closed shop and gives the elevator constructors the right to strike at any time to support any movement for the 30-hour week.

Baker, the department has created a general headquarters air force, comprising all the air combat forces, and placed It under the direct command of Gen. Douglas Mac. Arthur, chief of staff Thus all the fighting planes are taken away from Gen. Benjamin DD. Foulols, chief of the air corps, and he is left In command of only the army air schools and alr depots. “Benny,” who flew with the Wrights in 1009 and worked his way to high command, has long been at outs with the general staff, struggling against what he considered its In. trigues and politica. Now the general staff is having its way with him and, ns one Washington commentator says, instead of the flying alr fighter which his record fitted him to be, he has be come a desk soldier and a school teacher. Just as this order was issued Brig. Gen, Willlam Mitchell, former chief of the air corps and a perpetual storm center, was testifying before the com mission appointed by the President to study the government's aviation prob lem, Mitchell called the organization of a “GHQ"” air force “a lot of bunk,” and he deelared that all army officers who signed the Baker report should be “kicked out of the service” He re ferred to army aviation plans as the work of “Boy Scouts” In the War de partment, According to Mitchell, these are the measures the country should adopt for its aerial defense: Merge army, navy, and all air sery feces under one command, Build planes with a erulsing radios of 6,000 to 5,000 miles Make detailed plans for war, includ. ing the evacuation of New York city in case of an air sttack by Japan “from a base In Alaska.” Construct dirigibles, for 50 of them “competently” handled could destroy Japan within two days. ye Gen.

First, administration’s drive to bring about Increased prices through erop Hmitation or crop destruction or any methods employed not with Hmited buying power but it is compelling Uncle Sam and the states and counties and charitable organiza tions everywhere to pay an added price to keep people from starving. 1¥. the Hopkins statement gives more many addi rolls there may be Second lef roils nounting cost both ng examined by many experts The rellef administration has been to make surveys of relief in many Jurisdictions The re- in some of the cases have been disturbing ROY. ment who are { rolls to those in the rn wholly desirous of but who obviously are unwill see government funds drained off to help themselves How far UU ion is going, no: anyone this time sa) ing nig @ can fo at ¥ Gine of those regard relief as their rightful meal ticket Some of the political ome alarmed bed edge of the dole s3 i and In of the other European countries, they know how hard it is to separate individuals from relief after those Individuals have lost the pride «nd morale which causes people to sup port themselves. Hearings before con. winter dis closed In numerous some people had declined to do the odd jobs created under the “make work™ cam- paigns for the unemployed and had preferred to make thelr semi-weekly trips to the relief stores. At that time there were relief advocates of the sob sister type who insisted that the num ber of such unemployed was very small end that it would not Increase. Rellef however, seem who leaders have having knowl stem In England AUS, some cities how wherever they may be there Iz a certain number of the unemployed who will remain attached to the govern. ment relief roll until that roll is abso. lutely liquidated, » = . I have heard several members of congress express the opinion that this . phase of the relief Difficult problem Is really the Problem most difficult of the whole structure, They want to see the government spend all of the money that is necessary to keep people from starving but they are beginning te demand that some way Here in Washington a taste of the exposaed as the result of complaints by a taxpayers’ organization. The tax. payers’ group declared that its inves. tigators had found many unemployed appearing at relief headquarters driv. ing their own automobiles, they thought it was paradoxical that a man could afford to maintain his automo. bile and could not maintain his family, Relief authorities in the local offices denied these charges. The relief ex. perts sald some of the destitute were being transported to relief headquar ters in the cars of friends, but despite the denials there seemed to have been some fire in all of the smoke, Whatever the facts in the National Capital situation may have been, the condition itself nevertheless is attract. ing attention for the reason that some of the softhearted individuals who usually do more talking than anything else have risen to the defense of those who ealled for their doles In their mo tor cars, The upshot of this and of the veiled charges of waste—and sometimes graft ~-in other cities is that this govern. ment Is approaching a point where it must become more or less hardbolled in its relief administration, If it does not, nearly all of the observers agree, the United States will have a relief roll of six or eight millions which will continue to serve as a drain upon the treasuries, both national and local, for a good many years to come. Some of the authorities are growing fearful, * \) Ba ernie. | 0 Bruckart too, of what may happen should the parasitic element be separated from its meal ticket. With winter coming on radicals can make a fine case out of a refusal by rellef managers to feed this or that “starving family.” I have even heard suggestions that the com- ing winter may see some riots of a character more severe than anything we have yet known. jut if they do come it seems to be agreed they will not be due entirely to lack of food but to agitation on the part of some of those who have desires only to wreck our present structure of government, * ® a With the return for the winter ses sion of the Supreme Court of the Unit. ed States, New New Deal Up Dealers as well as to High Court ©!d dealers may have some ground for be- in the last year soon will be answered us when our legisiative bodies as well as executive officers of our yond bounds, there has been the mounting dem acts, then In numbers from the court in the land, There are sufficient petitions before the Supreme court to provide a rather sccurate dell of the New Deal scope in tutional pects.

It Is all being done very quietly but the facts seep through the national political headquarters here in Washingtoh, The regular Republican organization sees an opportunity to “knock off” the LaFoliettes by throwing their support to John M. Callahan, the Democratic candidate for the senate. Apparently they have little or no hope of electing thelr own senatorial candidate, the Wisconsin publisher, John RB. Chap pelle, who ended the political career of former Senator John J. Blaine in the primaries of 1032. If Mr, Callahan does poll a sizeable Republican vote the question is wheth- er this will offset the defections in the Democratic party. He was one of the leading supporters of Alfred E. Smith at the 1082 convention and neither the President nor his lieutenants have fore gotten that It was the present Demo cratic senatorial candidate in Wiscon. sin who gave publicity to charges that Mr. Roosevelt's early campaign In the South for Presidential nomination was in part financed and supported by the officers of the Kin-Klux Kian in Geor ni of which leads to the observa. tion that political leaders sometimes do very strange things.

And the public is {ast returning to laxatives in liquid form. Do you know the reasons? The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can thus be regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; you need not take a “double dose” a day or two later. Nor will a mild liguid laxative irritate the kidneys. The right dose of a liquid laxative brings a more natural movement, and there is no discomfort at the time, or alter. The wrong cathartic may often do more harm than good. A properly prepared liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell’'s Syrup Pepsia brings safe relief from constipation. It gently helps the average person's bowels until nature restores them to regularity. Dr. Caldwell’'s Syrup Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists keep ready for use. It makes an ideal family laxa- tive; effective for all ages, and may be given the youngest child.
