HUGE HOME SHORTAGE
JAPS TO CONFER
NEW MONEY BILL
TO STOP THE CWA
With full Administration sup
port, the construction of ships
necessary to bring the American
Navy to treaty strength seems to
be assured. Last week the House
passed the Vinson bill, authorizing
the expenditure of nearly half a
billion dollars in a five-year pro
gram, which incfudes 1,184 new
airplanes.
Opposition to the bill was slight,
as the largest naval building pro
gram ever authorized by an Ameri
can Congress went through. Par
ticularly pointed was the declara
tion of California Democrats, with
plain references to Japan. In addi
tion to naval construction now be
ing financed by the PWA, the new
measure would authorize 65 de
stroyers, one airplane carrier,
thirty submarines, and six cruisers.
Somewhat significant is the re
cent address of Ogden L. Milld,
former Secretary of the Treasury,
a leading member of President
Hoover's cabinet, and often men
tioned as a possible Republican
nominee for President 'in 1986.
Mr. Mills, speaking in Kansas, at
tacked the fundamentals of the
"New Deal" and, somewhat sur
prisingly, advocated a modification I
of tariffs and the abandonment of
"isolation and intense nationalism."
Mr. Mills himself recognized |
that these might be strange words
"coming from an orthodox Repub
lican," but insisted that he never
understood that the system of pro
tection intended the "destruction
of our commerce with the rest of
the world and the sacrifice of the 1
efficient farmer to save the in
efficient manufacturer."
Convinced that thousands of
workers are now stranded in dis
tricts where large industries have
closed and that for many of them
there is no hope of employment
in their former occupations, Harry
L. Hopkins, Relief Administrator,
is planning to start moving these
stranded people to communities |
where new opportunities exist. It
is estimated that one million people
are without reasonable prospect of
future employment in certain coai
and copper mining districts in in
dustrial centers, and on farms
teams playing very carefully and
where land is so poor that no one
can make a living on it.
President Roosevelt's recent out-.
spoken attack on political lawyer
members has produced a great de • J
mand for executive legislation, al
though many congressmen believe
the movement is "out of control."
For some yeais, the public has
been aware of the tendency on

THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALD, ROCKY MOUNT, N. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1934
the part of many connected with
the political party in power to
move to Washington. Particular
ly noticeable was this apparent in
the frequent opening of law offices
by prominent party leaders. Re
gardless of the individual, and no
matter how conscientious his in
tentions, the fact was that becuase
of political connections, certain in
terests delighted to employ attor
neys apparently able to reach tne
ears of office-holders.
Pending bills include that of
Senator Vandenburg to limit the
membership in natiinal commit
tees, and Senator Norris' proposal
to combine such legislation with
a drastic anti-l®bbying bill. Post
master-General Farley is credited
with the idea that small office
holders in the states should not be
affected but that legislation should
strictly regulate political lawyers
and office-holders in Washington.
The Administration attitude was
stated, it is assumed, by Senator
Byrnes, who insisted that legisla
tion to bar department officials
and members of party national
committees from lobbying for ap
propriations should apply to mem
bers of Congress.
There is a strong probability
that the "principle" of Senator
Johnson's bill to prohibit financial
transactions with nations in de
fault on their war debts will be
endorsed by the Administration.
It is presumed that the ban would
apply to nations in default ota
debts to the government, as dis
tinct from sums owed to individ
uals or corporations, and that it
would restrict foreign individuals
and corporations but not govern
ment corporations, because this
might interfere with the operations
of the two billion dollar stabiliza
tion fund.
Convinced from a recent survey
that there is a, shortage between
700,000 and 800,000 homes through
out the country, it is predicted thrtfc
Congress will be asked to broaden
the home financing program so
that the Home Owners' Loan Cor
poration will be able to lend money,
not only for the prevention of
foreclosure but also for the im
provement and modernization of
homes.
Mr. John H. Fahey, chairman
of the Home Loan Bank Board,
says that only 50,000 new homes
were built last year as compared
to the normal average of 400,000
per year. By assisting in the con
struction . and improvement of
homes, it is expected to increase
employment in the building trades,
which are now twenty per cent of
normal.
In a recent conversation in the
Japanese Diet, the Naval Minister
officially confirmed the report that
Japan would ask for a better naval
ratio. This move is certain to be
nnnnspd bv th» United States,
where Secretary Swanson has al
ready recorded himself.
Meanwhile the State Department
is keeping a close silence regard
ing its plans, but recent legisla
tion reveals a determination tc
build a treaty navy without regard
to what other countries may do.
From Tokyo also comes news re
vealed in questions before the Diet,
that a conference would be sought
with the United States to "adjust
the many complicated questions"
which will arise in 1935 when the
next naval conference is to be
held.
As expected, the President's
money bill went through the Sen
ate by an overwhelming vote, be
ing supported by 55 Democrats, 10
Republicans and one Farmer-
Laborite. Against the measure
was recorded 22 Republicans and
Senator Glass, Democrat. The
bill follows the general terms pre
viously outlined. Surprising was
the strength shown on the amend
ment offered by Senator Wheeler
for a substantial remonetization of
silver, which was defeated by the
margin of two votes—4s-43.
Subsequently, recognizing the
strength of the silver group, an
amendment was accepted author
izing the Treasury to make full
currency use of silver on hand and
newly mined silver acquired in ac
cordance with the London agree
ment. *
While protests continue to pour
into Washington against the dis
continuance of CWA activities on
May Ist, the President is appar
ently convinced that this should be
done. Observers predict that if
the spending goes on it will mean
that national recovery is far off
and that inevitably the government
will have to print money to pay
its bills and we will have inflation
on a large scale.
Administration leaders, however,
hope that by May Ist recovery
will have put agriculture and pri
vate industry i n a position to ab
sorb many workers and that the
President will be able to begin his
plan to balance the budget within
a year or so. Meanwhile, the
President has asked $600,000,000
for direct relief during the re
mainder of this fiscal year and
the next year, and $350,000,000 for
CWA operations.
LESTER MIMS, LOCAL
