By EDWARD W. PICKARD IR SAMUEL HOARE, British for- elgn secretary, assured parliament and the world that Great Britain has no intention of fighting Italy and would not alone apply mill - tary sanctions against that nation. He held out strong hopes that the war in Africa could be settled with- out resort by the league to extreme measures. His speech | was plainly an invita. tion to Italy to talk peace terms. Denying that the government's policy is hostile to Fascism, Sir Samuel sald: “We have not the least intention of interfering In the domestic affairs of other people.” “The unbroken solidarity of the em- pire is behind the government's pol- icy,” he sald. “Let those prophets of misfortune who have marked the em- pire down for decay and dissolution observe this fact of overwhelming Im- portance.” Hoare hinted at British isolation from continental affairs If the league collapses, Next day Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin warmly endorsed all that Hoare and Capt. Anthony Eden have done at Geneva. He deprecated even the use of the word war, but called for a rearming of the empire, saying: “In the interests of world peace it Is es- sential our defensive services should be stronger than they are today.” 3Jaldwin announced the adjournment of parliament on October 25 and the election of a new parliament on No vember 14. The campaign already is under way and is lively, with the inter- national situation furnishing the main issues. The Labor party accuses the government of delaying action in the Italo-Ethioplan embrogilo until too late to prove really effective, and im- pugns its motive in seeking rearma- ment, Sir Samuel Hoare USSOLINT made one conciliatory gesture toward Great Britain when he agreed to withdraw a division of troops from Libya; and at the same time he urged that France and Britain make quick reply to his peace condl- tions. But It became known the troops were to be moved from Libya to Tri- poll, where they would be almost as much a menace to Egypt; and the duce's peace terms were so drastic that there was no prospect that they would be accepted by anyone con cerned. They Included disarmament of Ethiopia, an international protec- torate over the central regions and an Italian protectorate over the remain- der, Addressing the foreign affairs com- mittee of the French chamber of depu- ties, Premier Laval promised he would seek only a compromise that would be fully acceptable to the League of Na- tions. He told the committee that France's battleships would steam im mediately to the assistance of Britain if the Iatter’s fleet was atttacked by Italy. Wiis Premier Plerre Laval of France was still trying desper- ately to find a way of settling the Italo-Ethloplan quarrel that would be acceptable to both Great Britain and Italy -@pparently without regard to Ethiopia's real Interests — fifty- two members of the League of Nations de- clared a boycott on all Italian goods and an embargo on various key exports to that country. The boycott binds these nations to Plerre Laval _.ohibit importation of "all goods consigned from and grown, produced or manufactured in Italy or In Italian possessions from what. ever place they arrive” If rigidly enforced, this would cut off about two-thirds of the export trade upon which Italy depends in getting funds for prosecution of the war in Africa. The countries applying the sanctions agree to ald one another in Austria, Hungary and Albania spoke against the sanctions.

When he landed from the ecruis- er Houston at Charleston, 8 C., he told a big crowd gathered to welcome him that the country is on Its way back to prosperity under the planned economy of his administration, "and don't let anybody tell you differently.” At an Informal press conference just before he left the cruiser, the Presi dent was asked to comment on the “impending collapse” of his drive to put three and a half million employ- ables on relief to work hy November 1. He replied that November 30 was 39 days off and that November 1 had nev- er been set as the deadline, and that he had been very careful to say that substantially three and a half million persons would be put to work. If three million are at work by November 30 he sald he would be satisfied with the four-billion-dollar program, and that It could not then be considered to have fallen down.

The verdict was greeted with loud cheers by the crowd in the courtroom, and in the ensuing confusion several news photographers were beaten up by for- mer members of Long's bodyguard which seems to be a habit in Louisiana. NEARLY 5,000 men and women from all parts of the United States gathered In Chicago and held a na tional convention of the Townsend plan, which, as most people know, would give every person sixty years of age a $200 per month Income If the person agreed to spend it all withia the month, did not work or have an income all told of more than $2,400 | year, The elderly California doctor who devised the plan was present, and the delegates seriously underfook the work of formulating a campaign to compel the adoption of the plas at the coming session of congress Fret of the big eastern railroads to seek reorganization under the amended bankruptcy act Is the New York, New Haven and Hartford, which serves one of the most densely popu- lated sections of the country.

Deal brain trusters put together, or than many of the Issues which In the last few months have attracted so much at- tention, Farley has really built up a national organization. It ramifies down not only to every county, but to every precinet in the 48 states, and it is busy all the time. [It has been work ing like mad In directions that have attracted no attention whatever, For example, It has been conducting drive lately to get every Democrat man or woman, who happens to be on the federal pay roll in Washington but charged to New York state, to register It has run special excursion trains to New York with reduced fares, meal prices, ete, to bring about this regis tration, This 18 a sample of the kind of activity which makes organization or machines (the cholce of words depend ing on whether yon are for them or against them) strong. It is the kind of thing that explains, in large part. why Tammany normally elects mayors in New York despite the black eye the tiger has In most of the country. It is the reason the Republican or ganization generally won in Philadel phia, the Democratic in Baltimore, ete. Much better illustrations are Chl cago and BL Louis, he point here being that these two big Middle West ern towns have had periods during the last twenty years when the strong organization was with one party, and then the other party developed a bet ter. Thus proving that it is not the normal political inclination of the volers In these big cities which 1s so important, but the fact that the ma chine gets the vote registered, ana then gets It voted on election day. Not to mention seeing that it is counted— at least once—after the polls are closed, Started In Early Farley hegan his real activities fol lowing the election of Roosevelt as governor of New York In 1080, His Tammany background was shocked st the state of the party above the Bronx There were whole counties where the local Democratic organization wad a mere adjunct to the local G. 0. P boss, and received patronage scraps from the local G. O. P, table In re ward. Farley installed a real fighting or ganization, with workers In every up state precinct. That explained Roose veit's enormous majority In 1830. which made him the logical Presi dential nominee. With the open ing of the 1092 eampalgn, Farley started the same sort of organization work for the whole country. He has been at It ever since. The 1834 elec tion, far more sweeping than even the Roosevelt landslide of 18382, was pot generally recognized as the fruit eof this organization work, but actually It was most potent in bringing it aboot. Today the organization that Farley has built up Is stronger than In 1084 Whereas the Republican national or ganization, and the local organization in many doubtful states, is infinitely weaker than at any time since the end of the Civil war, This is the very Hitle discussed inee to oppose Hoosevell next year will face. For Instance, Illinois Is ad mitted by many observers to be apt to Were the old Windy City, the state would be fig ured probably Republican, In Missouri the Pendergast machine in Kansas City, plas the decay of the in St. Louis, makes all the difference it's votes In the ballot box, not sent! ment ‘round the radio, that elect. Ana machines know how to get them in the boxes. Back to Prohibition Most people may laugh at the pre attitude of fear is a very curious situa tion, very obvious to any one Inquiring into it, but not generally realized. It involves the possibility that in the next fight to get prohibition, for the fight 1s not only coming but has be gun, the effort will be to prohibit not any beverage In excess of one-half of 1 per cent, as the Volstead law read nor even of “intoxicating beverages” as the Eighteenth amendment read- but distilled liquor, Distillers are keenly aware of tha in the senate, Wadsworth of New York, painted a delightful picture of the Joys and temperateness of wine drink- ing. Senator Norris, one of the dryest of the drys, rose and asked if senator from New York would be satis. fled if the bill exempted wine, Wads worth sald he would like to save beer, too. Norris and other drys threw up thelr hands. It was unthinkable, It may be that this original prejudice, so much stronger against beer than wine, though wine contained normally a much larger percentage of alcohol, grew out of the difficulty some relig- lous drys had in surmounting the Feast of Cana, but whatever the truth, the fact will be recalled by anyone in this country at the time that beer was far more obnoxious to the drys than wine, Hits “Hard Liquor” Bat now state after state, Including Virginia, home state of Bishop Cannon, makes the sale of beer and wine sim pie, but throws many restrictions around the sale of “hard liquor.” In fn way the plan follows that practiced for a long time In Canada. Bo-called “wine cocktails” are offered in hotel dining rooms, but not martinis or manhattans, Beer is sold everywhere, Beer and wine are sold in Virginia Washington, and many other places in this country much more freely than in the old preprohibition days. Before prohibition the only places that would sell a customer a glass or bottle of beer were licensed saloons, which were strictly limited as to number. Now there are frequently five in one block. In Washington these are sand wiched between stores which are licensed to sell only packaged goods not to be consumed on the premises, All of which change In séntiment—— if It really does represent a change is very apparent to the distillers, and thelr fear of the next fight grows, for their thought Is that If the fight Is concentrated on distilled Nquoor, or, say heverages exceeding 15 per cent or 20 per cent alcholic content, they wiil not have the brewers, the wine makers and the grape growers with them, Postal Savings While there is no Intention in the administration of yielding to the clamor of privately owned banks for the abolition or sharp contraction, of the postal savings system. there is jus! as much opposition in official quarters to the elaborate plans for expanding that system, including checking ac coants, and going Into a general bank- ing business, Officials, both of the reserve board and post office, Insist that they do not want to change the present system at all. They do not want .to push pri vately owned and mutual savings banks out of business, and they do not want the government going into the banking business on a large scale. Bot at the same time they are unwilling to de prive the public of what they regard as a “privilege” Actually it is rather puseling that the postal savings system has no! made greater inroads on savings banks in many communities, for example, the cities of New York state. In the Em pire state the state banking suthori ties do not permit savings accounts posits, But-—postal savings depositors in or mutual bank In New York state.
