BRISBANE THIS WEEK Pass the Patoian Bill They Love King George Parachutes? Puzzle for Solomon The senate votes, 55 to 33, to pay the veterans their bonus In cash. That vote, not belnir a two-thirds vote, would not overrule the Presidential veto, which Is ex pected. The Patraan bill, wisely approved, gives the veterans their money to spend In their way for things they want. Under that bill veterans are to be paid with new money.

New United States money is exactly as good as new bonds, since paper dollars and paper bonds get all their value from the name of the govern ment printed on them. There are no longer any gold payments promised or Implied. If government money is not good, government bonds are not good. /? President Roosevelt, congratulating ?^ King George, says: "It is gratifying to contemplate the wise and steadfast Influence which your majesty has ex erted for a quarter of a century." That was about all that the President, with the best of intentions, could say, for the British ruler's popularity Is based on sticking to his Job, which Is, letting his people alone, while they at tend to their business In their own way. The king seems to think that those wiiu iiavv uuiu me grtruiuess wi uie British empire to its present height may be trusted to continue building It. Some "best minds" here feel that any success or progress In the United States has been more or less of an accident, under bad management, and needs to start again on a new plan. Time will tell whether a government policy of "let them alone" or "tell them how" Is better. Five killed, eight Injured, In an air plane crash. The dead Include Senator Cutting of New Mexico, who will be deeply regretted by his state and by the senate. Flying In fog, fuel gave out. The last radio message was: "Fuel's get ting low. We can't find a break In the fog. It looks like a forced landing." Both pilots were killed; they did their best. An occasional disaster will not dis courage flying, but this particular ac cident raises again the question. Should not airplane builders concentrate on parachute protection for passengers? King Solomon never solved any such problem as this: A New York manu facturer wished to advertise "Invisible panties," In usual words?small trous ers worn by modern women. NRA rules say that If the article advertised Is not Invisible, the advertising Is "false and misleading and violates -the code." If those panties are Invisible, NRA cannot pass on them, and their manufacturer must not attempt to dis play them on models, for evident rea ?ons dealing with morality. Eight million young women In Ger many are unmarried. The government Invites 833,000 of them to marry "healthy, virile, hereditary farmers." To lead the unmarried German girl to the "virile, hereditary farmer" may be easier than making her marry him. A labor law compels women under twenty-five years of age to serve one year on farms before they ran take other Jobs. Once you begin to tell human beings how they must live, life becomes com plicated. Pope Plus, addressing 130 German pilgrims, spoke plainly about Ger many's present Hitler government: "They wish In the name of so-called positive Christianity to dechrlstlanlse Germany, and they wish to conduct the country bark to barbaric paganism, and nothing is left undone to disturb Christian and Catholic life." The pope's words referred to the un pleasant welcome home of 2,000 young German pilgrims that went to Rome to receive the papal blessing. Harry L. Hopkins, federal emergency relief administrator, uses language as plain as that of Mussolini or Stalin. He finds that we have In America a class of "oppressors," rich men. and promises that that small, oppressive, business minority "who extol poverty and profits In the same breath" shall be made outcasts In the "new order" that Is coming. One English town will celebrate the king's Jubilee by distributing free beer. Might It not be a good Idea to make light beer part of the regular food sup ply of men In this government's OOC camps?

Klav Fntarw Syndicate, taa. WNU Ssnrtt*. a . National Topics Interpreted ^ by William Bruckart WlllMlCS^ National Press Building Washington, D. C. JOffllF Washington.?Probably the most not able Incident of recent days In Wash ington Is the erplo Blast at gj0n of a bomb by New Deal business. It Is sig nificant and Impor tant that the business voice, as repre sented by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, has spoken in such emphatic terms about the New Deal. It is further a matter of sig nificance that the business voice criti cized the New Deal generally as well as specifically, because it is the first time in the period since President Roosevelt took charge that anything like unity In business thought has been presented. The reaction was Instantaneous. First, Secretary Itoper of the Depart ment of Commerce mustered 21 mem bers of his business advisory commit tee for a counter attack. It was al most drowned out by the chamber's roar. Such was not the case, however, with the President's renlv. He waited until the convention had ended to let loose a charge that the business In terests were selfish. It made all the front pages. This brings us to the crux of the condition precipitated by the outburst of the Chamber of Commerce conven tion. It is seldom, and I believe the record shows this statement to be ab solutely true, that annual conventions of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States have been taken serious ly by the newspapers. The business men have been looked upon as posses sors and promoters of rather anti quated ideas. Their Interests have been and are of a selfish character. That Is quite obvious and quite nat ural. But at this time, the voice of business speaks more than Just busi ness views. It speaks politically. Hence, when business spoke this time the newspapers of the country paid heed. The result was an unprecedent ed amount of publicity was obtained by the chamber through the medium of Its convention this year. Whether this represents a change In the thought of the country, surely no one Individual of any group Is able l to say definitely. It must be recog nized. however, that for many months a highly vocal minority of politicians has been accusing the administration i of throttling criticism. Although this group fought vigorously and charged the administration with having the greatest propaganda machine ever to ATlot If nhtnlnn.) little C4i.ll, XL UUIUIUCU IXLl.C JJUUIIV1VJ IV" those views. Most newspapers dis missed them by publication of three or four paragraphs, buried on the Inside pages of the metropolitan dallies. So, necessarily, significance attaches to the fact that when the business voice was raised In apparent unity the newspa pers accorded columns of space to It. It can be construed In no other way than as meaning there is a larger opposi tion to some phases of the New Deal at least than most of us had expected. ? ? ? For quite a while such groups as the American Liberty league have pounded away at certain Opposition phases of the New Unified 1)cnl- To Wash ington observers It appeared that these groups were get ting nowhere and getting there fast. Of a sudden, however, the voice op posed to tlie New Deal seems to have found Itself. Certainly at the moment I and for the first time, there Is an ap proximation of unity to New Deal opposition and that fact is reflected in a rather Important way. I refer to the courage exhibited In congress where there Is more and more evi dence of a decision on the part of the legislators to assert their Independence in contradistinction to previous silent obedience to the White House. I believe it Is too early to attempt a prediction whether the Chamber of Commerce leadership will last. If I were to make nn Individual guess I would say that leadership of this type will crumble. That guess is predicated upon the record of the past because heretofore It has been true that business always suffered defections and presently there was bushwhacking In Us own camp. Regardless of whether that condition develops again, the explosive character of the speeches In the chamber's convention have added a momentum to Roosevelt oppo sition which It has lacked heretofore. II Is Just possible, therefore, that even If business leadership falls In its efforts \o curb radical tendencies among the administration group, a well knit oppo sition may now be developing. Pursuing this assumption further, one hears suggestions around Washing ton to the effect that a genuine and basic Issue for the 11*36 campaign may be in the making. It would seem that Mr. Roosevelt will be forced Into the position again of appealing to the forgotten man of his 1032 campaign who has since been forgotten. The conaervatlve thought of the country meanwhile will marshal behind the home owners, the possessors of property and capital and the workers whose In come must be taxed heavily In subse quent years to pay for the program of spending our way out of the de pression. Some support Is seen for this theory of probable Issues In 1936 In the recent statement of Postmaster General Far ley who spoke politically as chairman of tk^Depocratlc national commit toe In almost so many words, Mr. Farley declared that the business interests had not been favorable to Mr. Itoose velt; that they were not now favor able to him and that there was no reason to expect the support of busi ness hereafter. Mr. Farley, clever poli tician that he is, ^recognizes that un der present conditions there are more votes on the side of the man who ap peals to those who have not than i there are on the side of the man who | appeals to those who have. On the other hand, government sta tistics show that something like C5, 000,000 persons hold life insurance policies; that something like 20,000,000 have saving accounts in banks; that there are around 10,000,000 home own ers In the nation, and that even at the lowest point of the depression there were more people working for salaries and wages than there were unem ployed. Mr, Farley's guess apparently is that so many of these workers have had their incomes reduced that they will support a candidate who prom 1868 to Improve their condition. In their numbers lies the difference be tween victory and defeat. In addition to these factors, there Is I to be considered the probability of de- | fections caused by ?nch demagogic j leadership as the Longs and the Coughlins. Saner thinking people know, of course, that the programs which Senator Long and Father Cough lin have been preaching far and wide j are as impossible of fulfillment as was the EPIC program advanced by j Upton Sinclair in his California cam- I paign. But it may not be overlooked that these men can and will pull to gether several million voters. ? ? ? No discussion of the controversy be tween business and President Roose- | velt would be com NRA the plete without consid Hot Spot eratlon of the NRA. It Is the hottest spot in congress right now. The situation is of such a character as to be com parable to a carbuncle on your neck. Those who have had carbuncles will fully understand. A few days ago, Mr. Roosevelt called the most obstreperous of opposition senators to the White House for a conference on the question of what j to do about extending the national In- I dustrlal recovery act. It is due to expire by limitation of law on June 16. He cleverly Invited Miss Perkins, the secretary of labor, and Donald Rich berg, the guiding hand of the Recovery administration, to sit in on that meet ing. It was only natural that two such avid New Dealers as Miss Per- i kins and Mr. Rlchberg should hold out for continuation of NRA for a two year period. And it was only natural for senators who do not believe whole heartedly in all of the NRA principles : to insist on a maKcsnut, or temporary j continuation. The President put thera Into a cockpit to fight It out The resulting disagreement was perfectly i logical but the President had put him- | self In a position to trade with con gress. Since the NRA opponents In con- 1 gress did not yield, they naturally went back to the Capitol and framed their i own program. They propose to have NRA continued, with some of Its un satisfactory features eliminated, to April of next year. They probably will be able to muster enough support to pass some such legislation. If they : do, the President will accept It Actual- | ly, he has no choice. He cannot allow the policy represented by NRA to crash completely. It would mean a political defeat which the President strong as he is, probably could not withstand. ? ? ? It is a wiser and sadder Blue Eagle that is proposed in the senate resolu tion continuing NRA. i Wi.er That resolution Is Blue Eagle equipped with scis sors to trim the tall feathers of the famed eagle so that It cannot operate against businesses whose traffic Is wholly within a state? Intrastate?nor will It permit prlco fixing. The senate flnanre committee which drafted this resolution reported It to the senate by the overwhelming vote of sixteen to three. That shows better than any words of mine how thorough ly determined that senate group was to override the Rlchberg-I'erklns views on administration policy. Succinctly, the continuing resolution provides for changes In the current law as follows: 1. No price fixing shall be permitted or sanctioned under any code except in codes covering mineral or natural re sources Industries that now embody the price fixing principle. 2. No trade engaged wholly In In trastate commerce shall be placed nn der code. 3. The President will have 30 days In which to review present codes of fair practice In order to revise and adjust each so that It will conform to the provisions of the new NRA. "I think this Is the best way out," said Senator Harrison. Democrat of Mississippi, chairman of the committee. "I feel certain we can pass this reso lution without a great amount of de bate and It will give NRA time to ad Just Itself and give the courts time to rule on the various questions of NRA validity." ?

I been busy on a Movie. Its called In Old Kentucky. It was one of the most famous old plays of our young days. 1 never was fortunate enough to see It, but I heard a lot about it. It was written by Mr Dazey. He has a son Frank Dazey I thnt*. ? fins, ano*. In iliaio a nuc aicuai iu writer, and also his wife is a dandy scenario writer. She is called Agnes Johnson. When our youngest kid Jimmy was about 12 he used to play polo." He had a couple of little old ponies, and he played quite a bit with the women, and Agnes Johnson played, and Jim had heard all the other women call her "Aggie" so he used to holler, "Leave it Aggie, leave it Aggie!" My wife told him he shouldent call a Lady by her first or nick name.'Jim said "Well when you are going so fast and you want her to leave the ball, you havent got time to say a lot of names. I cant holler leave it Mrs Agnes Johnson Dazev. The game would be over by then." Well I got to get back to old Ken tucky. Of course I dont know how much our picture will be like the original Old TCpntnrkv nlav Anvhnw wp nra hav<np a lot of fun making It. We are working out at a fine stock ranch owned by Mr Craleton Burke, the head of Californias Racing Commission. He and his Com- j mission are the ones that kept racing on such a high plane out here and it was such a success. He breeds some | very fine horses, he and Mr Neil Mc Carty, one of Los Angeles most proml- j nent attorneys. You know this horse breeding and raising has become a great fad not only out here, but all over the Country. Never was the horse so popular as now. Well I have just been up there playing with those beautiful young thorough bred colts, and their mothers who had raced on famous tracks and some had made great records and won many many thousands of dollars. This Mc Carty is a nut on breeding strains, and remembering whos pap was who. You know England is great for that I was out one day at a big English Estate for | lunch, and more women than men, and for once in my life I never got to say a word. All the whole talk was "Sires, damms, gets, foals, and this strain couldent go the distance, and that strain was a bit sluggish". Not a word about the Republicans or the Democrats and I couldent get in a word edgewise. But say those English sure do know ! breeding, of horses and dogs. But then ' there is nothing nicer than the raising j of a nice animal of any discription. Those great racing stock farms out from Lexington Kentucky are the greatest | sight in America. See old Man of War | out there with a skin of golden chest- I nut that glistens like gold in the sun, ; and the old darky that takes care of him has a monologue that goes just like | one of these tourist guides. He cant stop mi ne is nnisnea me wnoie tiling. see I some old sleepy looking sway back mars with a colt tugging at her, and maby five years ago 50 thousand people were standing hollering her name. It must be a great thrill to breed a horse yourself and then have them win a race, like the Kentucky Derby or the Santa Anita Handicap. You know In the Argentine they have some very line horses, and among the wealthy polo players, it Is almost con sidered a disgrace to ride a horse in your string that you did not breed your- | self. They all have big ranches out from Buenos Aires and they break them in working them after cattle, so they are really cow ponies, but thoroughbreds. | Averll Harriman in this Country breeds his string, and some others but not so many. Thoroughbreds are a nervous, nutty lot. I like an old gentle, kind of dopey horse, that is, I mean, to ride around. onX moco aK - n? I want one you T kinder got to work your passage on. ' and kinder nudge him In the stomach at every step. We have a lot o# pretty I steep mountain < trails out here and 1 they are plenty nar I now and steep some- \ times, and there Is a lot of difference In the way different Iiuigcn UCKUIiaiC CDJ. I saw the English Derby one time. I think it was 1906 and a horse named Spearmint. (I think it was) won it, but I wasent chewing much gum then and dident bet on him. I also in 190S saw the Melbourne Cup Race run in Mel bourne, Australia. We were showing there with Wirth Brothers Circus. I think there was forty Ave starters, run on a grass track and they run the op posite way. It cornea pretty near being as great a race as there is in the World. ! Those people out there Just bet eTery thing in the world on that race, and the forty fire horses all flnished within four lengths of each other with six overlap ping the winner. Boy. there was a horse , race, and they have em that good every year. ? 1MI, HttimfU SnjHf. 1m. Desperate Plight of the Share-Croppers Above, Southern Cotton Field. Top, Left, Senator Tydings; Right, Senator Bankhead. Below, Right, Edwin R. Embree. By WILLIAM C. UTLEY HALF of all the farming In the United States Is done by ten ant farmers. Most of them are In the southern states, and despite their numbers?there are some 1,800,000 of them, mostly cotton farm ers, In 16 of these states?they have of late come to be regarded as the "for gotten men" of the New Deal's agricul tural experimenting. They are the share-croppers. Virtual ly Illiterate, never at any time pros perous In the true sense, these unfor tunates have In the last few years been forced Into circumstances every bit as pitiable as old-time slavery, according to investigations public and private which have been made within the last few months. For cultivating, planting and picking their landlords' cotton, these poverty stricken Twentieth century serfs are given half the harvest from the crop, unless they furnish their own imple ments, in which case they get three fourths of It The income from this harvest is largely spent before they get it Be fore harvest time they are paid in com missary scrip which is good only in the landowner's store. It is alleged that the usual allowance for a family of five is two dollars a week before the haraaef Than If tharo is AI1V hfllanCft It la paid off in cash. Meanwhile the share-cropper is often charged prices for his food and essen tials which are considerably greater than those paid by his neighbor who owns land and may buy where he pleases. The landowner, in addition, takes a 10 per cent levy In advancing scrip, making $2 worth really cost $2.20. The ordinary food supply for half a week for one family runs about like this: Half-sack flour, 55 cents; gallon of sorghum black molasses, 60 cents, 24 pounds of cornmeal, 60 cents. That leaves little for clothing. And these people simply don't eat meat Villainy of Fate. The share-cropper until 1920 was able to eke out a fair sort of existence, getting enough to eat In the sense of a sufficiency to keep body and soul together, and having something of n roof over his family's heads. Then prices began to fall. The machine, which had been steadily growing as a threat, became a competitor real and overwhelming. Competition from new cotton-producing areas, soil erosion and sterility of the soil from constant pro duction of a single kind of crop added their woeful work to the villainy of what some might call fate. What these had knocked down, the depression trampled upon. And into what the depression had trampled up on, the Brain Trust ground its heel when It decreed that cotton acreage must be reduced 40 per cent. AAA crop reductions and processing tax meant loss of Income and loss of live lihood to many a tenant farmer who already had little enough of either. Probably the first really comprehen sive analysis of the situation was that recently made public by the committee on minority groups in economic recov ery, beaded by Dr. E. R. Embree of Chicago, president of the Julius B. Rosenwald fund. As might be supposed from Doctor Embree's presence (for the late Mr. Rosenwald was far famed for his sympathy with the black race), the original purpose of the commit tee's survey was to Investigate the condition of the agricultural negro in the South. It found more whites than blacks suffering and reported that the problem was so serious that all racial angles to It were overshadowed. No less than 58 per cent of the farm ers of the South?and 71 per cent of the cotton farmers?are without land. Exports are on the decline, while cot ton production abroad is increasing. The South faces a major crisis, says the committee. The committee found that of 3,088, 111 farms In 13 southern states, 1,789, 000 were cultivated by tenants. Of these, 1,091,000 were white and 698,000 colored. In certain regions farmed al most entirely by negroes, 80 per cent of the farmers were of the share-crop per variety. Practically all of the In crease in the number of tenant-farmers since 1920 is accounted for by whites, approximately 200,000 of them, who were unable to keep a hold on their property. A good share of the tenant farmers and others have been released upon the world with no means of sup port until millions who should be get ting a living from southern soil are now on the relief rolls. Last year one family in every four was on relief. Chances Are Slim. According to the report, the tenant farmer's chances of recovery are slim under a credit system which enables the landowner to borrow money at 4^ to 6% per cent Interest while "the tenant farmer cannot secure this cheap credit unless the landowner waives his first lien on the crop." The landowner can seldom afford to do this. "If he refuses to release the crop lien to the governmental agency, the Federal Farm Credit administration, the landlord may then secure the loan for all his tenant farmers at 4% to 6% per cent, and then advance supplies and furnishings to his tenants at cus tomary prices?20 to 30 per cent above cash prices. "Here again the tenant bears the brunt of the risk. If he can repay, his surpl* is wiped out by the extortion ate credit charges; if he cannot repay, be loses his crop and whatever work stock he may possess," says the re port. "So far the various debt reconcilia tion commissions have made no at tempt to have the landlords scale down the debts owed them from previous seasons by croppers and share tenants. Such proposals would be resented, no loubt, by landowners who had Just had their debts scaled down by creditors." Doctor Embree's committee says that the United States must "reorganize the system of land tenure In the South." The negro problem has long ieen an obstacle to such a program, i aut the committee Is of the opinion that the country has "seriously over estimated the Importance of the negro 'armers numerically as competitors, ilnce tenancy In the South has come to >e essentially a problem of white farm ers." The committee distinctly frowned jpon continuing Indefinitely to encour- 1 >ge landlords to cut down their pro iuctlon. It advised the raising of trops other than cotton In the South east, "with foreign competition in cot on growing Increasing and Texas and Oklahoma able to furnish all the cot ion needed for the national market at eheaper cost of production." Yet It idmits an advantage In the fact that ine government, naving cut down cot ion growing by some 8,000,000 acres, ' s in a position to force a balanced ag- 1 ?iculture on farmers who can't get cot ion dff their minds. No money crops and no crops to be ' lold can be raised on these 8,000,000 teres. Rather, crops for home use are 1 tncouraged, as well as crops which lend to improve the soil and prevent troslon and leaching. 1 "In the course of time the govern- I ment might find the outright purchas ng of certain farming lands less ex tensive than the payments of rents. Such payments rightly expended would ' terve to start worthy tenants in land ! twnershlp and remunerate large and 1 ibseatee owners for portions of their ' !xqeS6ive holdings," the committee ' lays. I Would Need Help. 1 Of course such farmers turned loose tpon their own land, but restrained 1 rom raising the only crop with which most ot them are familiar or experi enced would need helpful supervision, but their properties?small subsistence homesteads?might bid fair to approach the economic state of some of the most prosperous peasant-owned farms in Europe, the committee believes. Such a program would certainly meet with approval from the thousands of homeless share-croppers who have hit the southern roads without food or chattels, bound In most cases for the cities, there to seek what relief they can from the proper agencies. Some of them write to the President In pitiful, hardly readable letters, implor ing him to aid them. Some of them have formed the Southern Tenant Farmers' union, whose allegedly radi cal members have been said to be the Instigators of violence in some in stances. Designed to give these tenant farm ers land of their own, after the man ner of European land-owning peasants, Is the Bankhead bill, proposed by Sen ator John H. Bankhead of Alabama, father of the glamorous Tallulah Bank head, the stage and screen star, and a member of a family which has repre sented Alabama for many years in the government It Is quite in accord with the suggestions of the committee under Doctor Embree. The Bankhead bill, which at this W ritlnn Hod arn!ra/1 o nnnnlmAiicltf fo. vorable report from a house committee, would provide legislation patterned after that which has allowed the ten ant farmer of Ireland, Denmark, Fin land and Germany to become a land owner. What has been done for own ers of mortgaged homes. It plans to do for the share-Cropper?make fed eral credit available to lift him out of the financial morass. Senator Bankhead contends that the administration's crop reduction and tax on processing were measures adopt ed In defense of the farmers, protect ing them from curtailed production by industries and manufacturers after the crash. In sharp opposition to him has been Senator Millard F. Tydings of Maryland, who claims that the only result of the whole Roosevelt "eco nomics of scarcity" program has been to reduce the total wealth of the na tion. He demands the end of crop cur tailment by the AAA. Bankhead Explains. ? Senator Bankhead points out that the United States at the start of 1933 was faced with the biggest cotton sur plus on record, a full year's crop of 13,000,000 bales, the effect of which was to cause a tremendous drop in cotton prices. Cotton *vas 19% cents a pound in 1929, but by 1932 it had fallen off to 5% cents a pound, he pointed out, explaining that the proc essing tax was designed to give the farmers the same "scarcity" which manufacturers had effected to maintain their prices. Doctor Embree's committee was more Interested In Senator Bankhead's proposals to enable the tenant farmer to gain independence. "Life In the rural South Is capable of being lived to the fullest," said Its report. "In our modern scheme of things It has proved much easier to produce a steady flow of goods than to produce a steady Income with which to purchase those goods or their equiv alent. Of all the laborers and crafts men, the general or all-round farmer Is the only one able to produce the type and variety of goods suitable for his own consumption." ?

Not all types of wood make good paper. Virtually all of the pulp used comes from spruce. The millions of tons of newsprint required annually by American newspapers have seriously depleted this country's reserves of this timber, with the result-that since about 1900 there has been a steady shift of the paper Industry to Canada.
