(GERMANY, having recently boldly
announced that she was now pos-
sessed of a military alr force in vio-
lation of the Treaty of Versailles, still
more boldly declares
she is no longer beund
by the obligations of
that pact and proposes
to bulld up an army
. of about 480,000 men,
comprising 12 corps of
three divisions each.
This was the decision
of the cabinet, which
decreed compulsory
military training
throughout the reich.
The exact number of
men in the army will
be determined by a law to be enacted
later,
This was Chancellor Hitler's reply
to the action of France's chamber of
deputies in accepting Premier Flan-
din's plan to Increase the term of con-
script service In the French army to
18 months and subsequently to two
years, Germany considered that
France was “dealing the last blow to
disarmament,” and Hitler, rushing to
Berlin from Berchtesgaden, directed
the action of the cabinet and Issued
to the German nation a rousing appeal
for full support. He declared that the
failure of other nations to reduce
armament as called for in the Ver
sallles treaty had released Germany
from all treaty obligations, and that
while the reich had only peaceful ino-
tentions, it must rearm to protect
its territorial Integrity and maintain
the respect of the world as a co
guarantor of European peace.

President Roosevelt expressed his
hope that his “good neighbor” policy
might be extended to Europe as a
basis for peaceful settlement of the
tense situation. Just how the Presi
dent expects to prevail upon those
traditional enemies to become “good
neighbors” was not fully explained.
He declined to say whether this gov-
ernment will send a note to Germany
protesting abrogation of military pro-
vigions of the separate treaty with
this country. Although the United
States is not a signatory to the Ver
sallles pact, the separate peace treaty
negotiated with Germany Includes the
military phases of the Versailles
treaty. Many people in this country
feel that United States intervention
in the European dispute is neither
necessary nor advisable,
G°" MARTIN L. DAVEY of Ohio,
charged by Federal Relief Ad
ministrator Harry I. Hopkins with
“sorruption” in Ohlo relief, went be
fore the state senate and demanded a
thorough Investigation. He defied
Hopkins to come to Ohio for trix] on
a warrant he had secured charging
Hopkins with criminal libel. Hopkins
had alleged in a letter that he has
proof of “corruption” of relief admin-
istration in Ohio including soliciting
of funds for campaign purposes from
firms that sold relief materials. Hop

hind Davey. The Democratic delega-
tion in the Ohlo legislature appealed
to President Roosevelt “to right the
wrong which has been done our gov-
ernor” and Francis W. Poulson, Demo
cratic state chairman, summoned to
appear before the grand jory, dellv-
ered a scathing attack on Hopkins.
Poulson charged that Republicans in
high government offices “have be
trayed the President,” and named Hop-
king as “one who could be expected
to tear down the Democratic party.”
LARENCE DARROW, foe of NRA,
and author of the famous report
which attacked NRA more than a
year ago, assailed the administration's
economic theories, including the na-
tional recovery act, in his testimony be
fore the senate finance committee. The
famous lawyer whose sharp speech and
flery courtroom tactics have made him
famous, denounced NRA as playing
into the hands of big business to the
destruction of the “little fellow.” He
argued that NRA attacked the prob
lem from the wrong angle and that the
real trouble lay in faulty distribution,
thus assailing the theory of scarcity.
Darrow swept aside statements that
NRA had helped organized labor, re
duced unemployment and abolished
child labor, with an assertion that it
would have happened anyway. “The
panic put an end to child labor,” he
sald, “There wasn't any room for it
while fathers and mothers were out
of work.”
“There Is no question that small
business has suffered under the NRA"
Darrow continued. “It has suffered
more than It would have suffered
otherwise.”
The suffering due to continued con-
centration of wealth would have gone
on anyhow, he sald, but added that
NRA accelerated fit,

Spring wheat normally constitutes
about one-fourth of the nation’s crop.
He denied that the European situa-
jon pointing to a possibility of in
ecreas2d sales had anything to do with
the new decision. Farmers under con-
tract who plant their full spring
wheat acreage will receive full bene
fit payments, but in return will be
required to agree to reduce produc
tion in 1838 by the amount asked in
next year's contract plus. the amount
they “would have reduced this year.
There is no indication that the corn
gereage control program for 1985 will
be altered.
LANS to reduce American money to
a single class—possibly federal re-
serve notes--are being considered by
the administration, thus simplifying
the nation’s monetary structure and
making It easier to control. Before
this could be established it ls neces
sary to make widespread changes In
existing laws, and this will undoubt-
edly be undertaken when more imme
diate stages of the recovery drive are
completed. According to a high gov-
ernment official, one class of money
must be established In order that the
government may effectively control is
suance of money. Under this plan
treasury notes and United States notes
would be retired. The silver certifi
cates backed by bullion now held In
the treasury might be withdrawn from
circulation and transferred to the fed
eral reserve banks as was done witn
the gold certificates. Since the re.
serve banks would be sole holder of
gold and silver certificates, a definite
ratio of silver certificates could thus
be established.
