Germany Enraged by Her Condemnation by League
Council?Work Relief Program Going Forward?
Compromise Bonus Measure.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
?, Western Newspaper Union.
GERMANY was thoroughly enraged !
by the action of the League of Na- ,
tlons council in adopting the tri-power
resolution condemning the reich for j
violating tne treaty of
Versailles by rearm
ing, and it was expect
ed Reichsfuerher Hit
ler would make a de
fiant retort. As a first
step he sent from his
Bavarian retreat in
structions to Secretary
of State Von Buelow
to protest "England's
defection at Stresa and
I# LI-AI \Jvuc*a. i ins > UU
Adolf Miller Bue|0w dld delivering
the message to Ambassador Sir Eric
Phipps for transmission to London.
The German press was loud In denun
ciation of the league action and Lit
vinov, the Soviet delegate, came in for
most of the abuse because he deliv
ered the chief speech in support of the
resolution at the council session. Just
recently Germany granted to Russia
credits amounting to $80,000,000. Po
land also was assailed for "abandon
ing" Germany, but in Warsaw it was
said by officials that Poland was still
the friend of the reich. One newspa
per there said quite truly that the
complaint against Germany was "a
formal matter because the discussion
could not result in any actual solu
tion of the problem, but only bring
something like emotional relief."
Strange as it may seem, the Jews
in Germany are warmly supporting
Hitler in this controversy. The fol
lowing message was sent to him:
"The League of National German
Jews stands unshaken in its loyalty to
the Fatherland, and hopes the govern
ment's defense policy will not be
changed on account of the Geneva
proceedings."
During the council's discussion Tew
flk Arras, the Turkish member, arose
and stated flatly that If any changes
In the existing treaties were made or
tolerated, his country would claim the
right to fortify the Dardanelles in vio
lation of the treaty of Lausanne. He
even hinted that the Turks might fol
low Hitler's example and not wait for
permission. Sir John Simon's Imme
diate and sharp reply was:
"I feel sure my honorable colleague
will not expect me to say any more at
this stage than that I must naturally
make all reservations regarding it."
Laval of France and Baron Aloisi of
Italy supported Simon in his rebuke ofJ
the Turkish revisionism.
Laval carried back to Paris a draft
of the mutual assistance pact with
Russia for submission to the French
cabinet. Lltvlnov was still insistent
that the two countries should enter
into a real military alliance, and it may
be that he will carry his point. In the
opinion of many observers such a
treaty would be declared invalid by the
League of Nations.
WHEN the administration's great
work relief program gets under
way one of the most important parts
of it, the purchase of material supplies,
will have to be started
at once, ard it is ex
pected that this will
absorb about $1,700,
000,000 of the total
sum. According to au
thoritative sources in
Washington, this part
of the program will
be supervised by Rear
Admiral Christian J.
Peoples, now procure
monf nffiAAn In ?ha
, Admiral
treasury. Peoples en- _ 0Dleg
tered the navy supply c
corps In 1900 as assistant paymaster
and later developed the navy's present
purchasing system. When Franklin
D. Roosevelt was assistant secretary
of the navy he and Peoples became
close friends.
The admiral presumably will have
full charge of drafting the regulations
for material purchases but it Is un
derstood the actual buying of supplies
for work relief projects will in most
instances be handled by the states and
other co-operating agencies. However,
certain commodities, like cement, that
will be needed In immense quantities,
probably will be purchased centrally.
SEVEN agencies of the government
are organizing to combat the dam
age done by the constantly recurring
dust storms. They are the AAA, farm
credit administration, emergency relief
administration, soil erosion service,
bureau of plant industry and bureau
?f agricultural engineering.
The efforts, officials said, will In
elude shipping feed, food and water
Into the stricken areas of Texas, Okla
homa, New Mexico, Kansas and Colo
rado, starting work relief projects on
roads, private lands and the public do
main, planting of fast-growing and
hardy crops as ground cover In areas
where moisture conditions permit, and
"listing" operations. This latter-work
Is an attempt to prevent soil blowing
away, by making alternate ridges and
furrows.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT called
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi
to the White House for a conference
concerning the veterans' bonus bill.
wnich already has
passed the house. Har
rison is chairman of
the senate finance
committee and the ad
ministration looked to
him to devise a way
to spike the measure
which is so objection
able to the President
in its present "green
back" form. Other
_ . majority i e a u e r a in
Pat Harrison ,
congress also were
busy with the problem, and the result
was the introduction in congress of a
compromise bill which it was believed
the President would accept if It were
passed.
This measure would make bonus cer
tificates mature in 1938, Instead of
1945. They could be converted imme
diately into 3 per cent bonds. Vet
erans who wanted cash right away
could sell the bonds, losing only the
interest they otherwise could obtain
until 1938. Harrison said this would
cost $500,000,000 more than the pres
ent bonus law, but far less than the
Patman bill, passed by the house, to
pay the bonus with $2,500,000,000 in
new money.
Milo Warner, vice commander of the
American Legion, said this bill was
"absolutely not acceptable" to that or
ganization. Heads of veterans' organ
izations and various others were in
vited to testify at committee hearings
on the bill.
SENATOR HUEY LONG called to
gether his complaisant legislature
in Raton Rouge and ordered it to
pass some new laws that would give
him complete control of city finances,
elections and expenditures of federal
relief funds. Secretary Ickes went
right up in the air and announced that
if the laws were enacted Louisiana
would get none of the public works
money; whereupon the Kingfish told
him he could go to the nether regions,
since the PWA money had alreadv
been deposited to the account of the
New Orleans sewer and water board.
"The state court very properly rec
ognizes our men as that board now, so
how is Ickes goiDg to get his money
back!" Long asked. "When he starts
that, we'll show him what a smart
man he ain't If Ickes and the bal
ance of the brain trust cabinet hold
their breaths until we send for them,
there'll be several corpses and the
country will be better off."
OVER In Turkey the women, until
recently, were forced to lead lives
cf seclusion in the harem and to go
veiled when in public. But all that is
changed. The other day the twelfth
congress of the International Alliance
of Women for Suffrage and Equal Citi
zenship opened in Istanbul with about
thirty nations represented and Mrs.
Corbett Ashby of England in the chair,
and the women of Turkey, unveiled
and In modish European garb, were
the proud hostesses of the hundreds of
delegates. Among the questions dis
cussed were: The situation and rights
of women; the position of women in
the liberal professions; the political
and civil rights of women; the means
women can use to prevent war.
Under Kemal's rule the women of the
republic of Turkey have been granted
parliamentary and city votes and have
entered enthusiastically Into all
branches of life, civic, professional, In
dustrial and sporting.
WITHOUT any effort to break
speed records, CapL Edward A.
Musick and five companions landed the
big Pan-American Airway clipper ship
Pioneer In Hawaii 18 hours and 31
minutes after they took off from Ala
meda, Calif. This was the first explora
tory flight for a service that will soon
be extended clear across the Pacific
to Canton, the proposed intermediate
stops being Hawaii, Midway Islands,
Wake Islands, Guam and the Philip
pines. The operating bases are now
in process of construction.
1/ING BORIS of Bulgaria has foiled
another attempt to force him from
his precarious throne. Upon discovery
of an alleged Fascist plot, he ordered
that three prominent political leaders
be arrested and held in Jail. Their
friends sought to free them by storm
ing the jail but were repulsed. Those
seized are Alexander Zaohoff, leader of
the Democratic entente; Kozma Geor
giefT, head of the Macedonian party,
and M. Natcheff, former police presi
dent of Sofia.
JOHN R. McCARL, the able, efficient
and independent comptroller gen
eral of the United States, has annoyed
the New Dealers on several occasions.
inow ne tnreatens to |
block the plans of the
AAA for lifting the re
strictions on spring

Mccarl clalg Qf the AAA gaid
the farmers would be paid for the
abandoned reductions In acreage If
they would promise to curtail their
plantings next year. Mr. McCarl asked
for further Information on this matter
and indicated he could not approve of
the plan, though AAA men declared he
had not ruled definitely against it
Chester C. Davis, AAA administrator,
might not be content to abide by such
a ruling if it were made, and the ad
ministration might refuse to accept it
Mr. McCarl, a Republican, holds his
office under a law which specifies that
the comptroller general shall be ap
pointed to a 15-year term and can be
removed only by death or Impeach
ment Nevertheless Attorney General
Cummlngs, it Is understood, gave It
as his opinion that like any other
Presidential appointee, he could be
removed at the pleasure of the Presi
dent. He based this opinion on a rul
ing of the Supreme court in the case
of a postmaster who was onsted by
President Coolldge, the court holding
that the President was within his
rights under Article 2 of the Consti
tution. So it may be the New Dealers
will seek to have Mr. McCarl ousted
before his term expires in 1936,
It Is Interesting to read that the Ne
braska Progressive league, made up of
liberal Republicans, Is planning the
organization of "McCarl for President"
clubs In that state and afterward In
all others. George W. Kline, Its chair
man, says he was asked to support
McCarl for President in 1936 by friends
of Senator George W. Norris.
ALLEGED teaching of Communism
in some of our universities and
the adoption of that cult by a large
number of half-baked young men and
women in those institutions has long
been debated and denounced by pa
triotic citizens. Student strikes and
small riots have been frequent, and
there have been many demands for
the suppression of these reds and
pinks. The latest big institution of
learning to be brought into the lime
light in this matter is the University
of Chicago, whose faculty contains
several decidedly radical instructors
and its student body many youthful
followers of Marx and Lenin. Because
of charges made by a prominent drug
store magnate the Illinois senate has
Just adopted a resolution calling for a
"thorough and complete Investigation"
t>y a senatorial committee of five to
determine whether any foundation ex
ists for charges that "subversive Com
munistic teachings" are going on in
"wholly or partly tax-exempt colleges
and universities of this state."
SIR OSWALD MOSLEY, chief of the
British Fascists, has committed his
organization to a policy of antl-semlt
isrn fully as severe as that of the Hit
ler Nazis. At a riot- (
ous meeting of his \
Black Shirts In Leices- j
ter, Mosley said: "For
the first time I openly !
and publicly chal- i
lenge Jewish interests
In this country. Com
m a n d I n g commerce,
commanding the press, j
commanding the cin- j
ema, dominating the ]
City or L.UUUUU, lucjr
are killing Industry Sir Oswald
with their sweat- Mosley
shops. These great Interests are
not intimidating and will not intim
idate the Fascist movement ot the
modern age."
Leaders of more than 200 of Chi
cago's 300 Jewish organizations as
sembled to Indorse the campaign of
the American Jewish congress for con
solidation of all organized Jewish ac
tion. The chief speaker was the fa
mous Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, national
president and founder of the congress.
In the course of his address he said:
"I want the day to come when no
Jew shall live In Germany?not one.
I want the day to come?although I
shall not live to see It?when the Jew
will be a regretted memory In Ger
many, Just as their presence was a
blessing and an ennoblement In every
sense."

BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
DANNY USES HIS WITS
Who hesitates because of fear
May lose the thing he holds most dear.
IT HAPPENS over and over again
among human folks as well as
among the little people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows. Per
haps It was because he had seen It
happen more than once that Danny
Meadow Mouse acted as quickly as he
did. If he had stopped to think about
It fear might have prevented him from
doing as he did and things might have
turned out quite differently and not at
all so fortunate.
But Danny's wits are sharp and he
has learned to use them quickly. There
is nothing like danger to sharpen one's
| wits and Danny, as you know, Is in
danger a great part of the time. As
he sat there peeping out of the little
hole in the bank of the Smiling Pool
where he had sought safety he was
surrounded by danger and he knew it.
It wasn't safe to leave and it wasn't
safe to remain. Could anyone possi
bly be In worse fix?
He was doing his best to think of
some way out of his troubles when he
saw the Big Pickerel which had been
hiding under some lily pads, swlfn out
to the middle of the Smiling Pool and
there stop close to the surface as If
to enjoy the sun. Not two minutes
later there was a sharp swishing sound
in the air. Danny looked up to see
a dark form shooting out of the sky.
It was Plunger the Osprey, often
called Fish Hawk. Ilis great claws
were spread to seize some one and
that some one was the Big Pickerel.
With a great splash Plunger struck
the water and disappeared right where
the Big Pickerel had been a second
before. Grandfather Frog dived from
his big green lily pad with a startled
"Chug-arum!" Snapper the Turtle
sank from sight. Billy Mink disap
peared. Reddy Fox stood up on his
hind legs the better to see.
With a quick glance up to see that
Redtail the Hawk was not watching.
Danny darted out of his hiding place
and scurried along the bank of the
Smiling Pool towards the Laughing
Brook. He knew that for a few min
utes the attention of everybody would
be fixed on Plunger. He hoped that
no one would notice a scared little
Meadow Mouse. He heard the water
falling from Plunger and the beating
of his great wings as he rose in the
air, but he didn't even glance to see If
Plunger had caught the Big Pickerel.
He simply made those four little legs
of his go as fast as they possibly could
until he reached a tangle of matted
grass, under which he crept, his heart
going pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat. Not
till then did he look back.
