THE BURNSVILLE EAGLE BURNSVILLE, N. C, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1935 NO. 35. News Review of Current Events the World Over President Raps Tugwell for Budget Prediction—WPA Job Program Moves Rapidly—Farmers Indorse Corn-Hog Control for 1936. By EDWARD W. PICKARD T> EXFORD G. TUGWELL, ondersec- retary of agriculture and once con sidered head man of the “brain trust,” made a speech at Loa Angeles the other day that called forth a sharp rebuke from President Roose velt. Addressing a Democratic gathering, ■ Mi Tugwell asserted that ; the administration ' could satisfy every humanitarian demand and still balance the budget In 1938. Mr. Roosevelt, in a R. G. Tugwell pers for printing what he called “crazy stories” and went on to declare that Tugwell's assertion was almost as un founded as the predictions thrown out by many political observers that the budget probably would never be bal anced again. Tugwell’s statement wasn’t quite as “wild” as the news paper stories, he remarked, because Tugwell knew a little more about the budget than the newspaper men. The President said he and his ad visers were about to make a study of the financial situation, and that until the budget Is finally drafted about the first of the year not even he knows what shape It will take. Every effort, he said, would be made to hold the regular government departments down to the figures of this fiscal year, but he would make no predictions as to emer gency expenditures. J OBS for 3,500,000 needy persons by November 15, and an end of the dole by December 1. That was the forecast made by the New Dealers In Washington, and It appeared probable of accomplishment. Officials said states will receive no direct relief al lotments from the government for De cember and that the November grants will be greatly reduced. The employ- ment , program Is a month behind schedule, but Is now being carried for ward rapidly. Every state director of the PWA has been given a job goal by Administrator Harry L. Hopkins and was told by that gentleman: “The responsibility for carrying out these objectives, through providing work on approved projects, rests squarely on you.” As November opened these state ad ministrators had $1,018,947,649 to spend, and every day Comptroller Gen eral McCarl was putting more to their credit in the federal treasury. Of the $3,330,843,803 tentatively approved In WPA project values by President Roosevelt, MeCarl had passed $2,450,- 293,894. Of the $1,060,207,831 definite ly allocated for WPA by the presi dent, McCarl had countersigned treas ury warrants for all but $41,200,182. N ew dealers bave scored a ma jor victory, and are correspond ingly elated. By a majority of some thing like 10 to 1, the corn-hog produc ers have voted for a continuance of the crop adjustment through another year. Incomplete returns from the referendum showed that the pro gram was favored by a majority in every one of the 33 states from which votes were received. ^ \ | “It is only natural ' “ that we should be Chester C. pleased with the ap- Davis parent approval of adjustment given by corn and hog farmers,” said Ches ter O. Davis, AAA administrator, as he watched the returns come in at Washington. “If the final results bear out present Indications another volun tary contract will be offered for both corn and hogs." In a formal statement Davis em phasized earlier assurances that the AAA would seek a 25 to 30 per cent Increase in hog production next year, saying the "need for increasing the present pork supply of the nation. . . will be kept In mind In plans for the next adjustment contract.” Before the results of the voting were known President Roosevelt announced tentative plans for making the AAA over from an emergency to a per manent agency. Observers In Washing ton concluded that Mr. Roosevelt In tends to make the AAA a major cam paign Issue next year and to rely for re-election largely on the voters in those western slates that have re ceived the largest cash payments in the carrying out of the crop adjust ment program—taking it for granted 'that he will carry the solid South. C ONTINUING the administration’s policy of “enabling farmers to market their crop in a more orderly fashion,” Secretary of Agriculture Wal lace announced a corn loan of 45 cents A bushel on the 1935 crop,--available from December i until next July 1. The Commodity Credit corporation had already approved this and asked a commitment from the R. F. O. to pro vide the necessary funds. Wallace estimated that about $150,- 000,000 would be advanced to corn growers under this program. Borrow ers must sign the AAA corn-hog con JlU-llOg piouut- i?' trol contracts. The loans will be made on corn which, if shelled, would grade No. 3 or better. The grade require ment last year called for was No. 4. The loan rate then was 55 cents a bushel. pUEMIBR MUSSOLINI defies the League of Nations and its sanctions. In a speech at (he Inauguration of the new university In Rome he said: “In the-face of an economic siege toward which all civilized people of the world should feel supreme shame, In the face of an experiment which they wanted to test, for the first time, against the Italian people, let It be said: "We will oppose It with our mosl Implacable resistance, with our most firm decision and with our most su preme contempt.” However, It was announced In Geneva that the duce was willing to negotiate for peace with Ethiopia, end there was a possibility the league would delay for 15 days the application of further penalties. King Victor Emmanuel Issued a de cree putting the entire Italian mer chant marine on a war basis. Prime Minister'Baldwin’s reply to Mussolini's defiance was a blunt as sertion that Great Britain was pre pared to resort to force, If necessary, to carry out the sanctions. Said he: “We mean nothing to the league if we are not prepared In the end, and after grave and careful trial, to take action to enforce Its judgments.” The British government made new protests to Italy against Italian press attacks on Britain and anti-British propaganda in Egypt, and three more destroyers were sent from Gibraltar to going forward wltl\ its plans for the Imposition of sanctloils against Ita ly, it.r officials asked the,United States government to com ment on this policy, for the attitude of this country is consid ered vital to the suc cess of the program. Secretary of State Hull replied promptly but with' extreme cau tion, avoiding com ment on the action taken by the league powers and inferentl- ally declining to coop erate In the sanctions. The answer, whose tenor was dictated by President Roosevelt, was sent to Minister Hugh Wilson at Berne. It only set forth the moves made by the United States under the neutrality act and restated our government’s hope for world peace. In press conferences Mr. Hull stressed the fact that this country wilt continue to move Inde pendently to keep free and untangled as President Roosevelt has promised. A MERICAN citizens are not respect- ^ ing the embargo on shipments to Italy and Ethiopia to an extent that satisfies the administration. Therefore the President Issued this statement: "In dealing with the conflict be tween Ethiopia and Italy I have car ried into effect the will and Intent of the neutrality resolution recently en acted by congress. We have prohib ited all shipments of arms, ammuni tion, and implements of war to the belligerent governments. By my pub lic statement of October 5, which was emphasized by the secretary of state on October 10, we have warned Ameri can citizens against transactions of any character with either of the bel ligerent nations except at their own risk. “This government Is determined not to become Involved In the controversy and la anxious for the r^toration and maintenance of peace. “However, la the course of war, tempting trade opportunities may be offered to our people to supply ma terials which would prolong the war. I do not believe that the American people will wish for abnormally In creased proflts that temporarily might be secured by greatly extending our trade in such materials; nor would they wish the struggles on the battle field to be prolonged because of proflts accruing to a comparatively small number of American citizens. “Accordingly, the American govern- meet Is keeping informed as to all shipments consigned for export to both belligerents." Secretary of State Hull Issued an other statement calling upon American citizens to desist from trading with either Italy or Ethiopia. Such trade, he declared, was conducted “at the expense of human lives and human misery." U*ABTHQUAKB tremors that felt in many localities all the were many localities all the way from Spokane and Calgary to New York and Boston were severest In Helena, where at least two persons were killed and many injured. Nu merous buildings weakened by the for mer temblors in the Montana capital were thrown down and the property losses were considerable. Gov. Landor pONSTITUTIONALlTY of the Guffey ^ coal act, a highly controversial measure, is to be passed on by tbe Supreme court. The way was opened when Justice Jesse Adkins of the Dis trict of Columbia Supreme court grant ed to the Carter Coal company a tem porary injunction restraining govern ment enforcement of the act. In allowing the Issuance of a tem porary injunction, Justice Adkins de nied another order which would have restrained the government from col lecting the penalty prescribed by the act for noncompliance. He directed that the coal company post a bond of $1,500 a day for ten days to Insure stockholders of the company against a loss through Imposition of the pen alty should the act be held constitu tional. Regardless of the District Supreme court's decision on the constitution ality of the act, the test case will be carried to the Supreme court for a final decision by the company or the government, attorneys said. T IBERTY League's committee of 58 more or less eminent lawyers got into trouble by offering free legal serv ices in antl-New Deal litigation. Some one protested to the American Bar as sociation and that body’s grievance committee has been asked for an opin ion on the ethics of the offer. It was reported that the members of the league’s committee had been cited for unethical practices, but the bar asso ciation denied this had yet been done. "T^UERE is no lack of potential can- didates for the Republican Presi dential nomination. The latest boom to be informally launched is for Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kan sas, often mentioned as a possibility. The other day there was a gathering in Topeka of party leaders, in cluding members of the state committee, state ofHce holders, congressmen and Sen ator Arthur Capper, and after some ora tory they unanimously and enthusiastically in dorsed the governor for the nomina tion. Landon had not indicated whether he would be a candidate. If he will, the movement will probably be given formal status at the annual Kansas day dinner In Topeka on Jan uary 29, the seventy-fifth anniversary of the state’s admission to the Union. 'T^WO tragic airplane accidents marked the week In the United States. The huge Boeing bombing plane built for the army, largest land plane In the country, was being tested near Dayton, Ohio, when It fell and burst Into flames. Maj. P. P. Hall, chief testing pilot, was killed and four others were injured. Lleuts. R. K. Giovannoll and L, P. Harman risked their lives to rescue those trapped in the wreck and were themselves pain fully burned. Another Boeing plane, re-bullt and undergoing tests by the United Air Lines, crashed against a small hill near Cheyenne and the four occupants were hurled to death. ■U ONDURAS suffered one of the worst floods In Its history. Fully 115 deaths resulted, and the property damage Is estimated at • $12,000,000, half of It sustained by the United Fruit company. Reports of the dis aster reaching Tegucigalpa were meager and vague, and the mortality list may be greatly increased later. W ANG CHING-WEI, premier of China, and two oEher officials were wounded by an assassin in Nan king. Martial law was declared there Immediately. The Rengo (Japanese) News agency, crediting Chinese sources, said the assassin was a member of the centra! executive committee of the Kuomintang (ruling Chinese party). Chinese sources asserted he was a citizen of a foreign power. The Reu ters (British) News agency reported Wang’s assailant was a Japanese news paper man. P OLITICAL gossip In Washington Is that Senator Vic Donahey of Ohio may be Invited by the administration to be the Democratic candidate for Vice President next year. Mr. Garner, of course, can have a re-nomination If he reallly wants it, but there is some reason to believe that he would pre fer to rerire to private life after nearly forty years of public service. Dona- hey’s Impressive victory over Simoon Fess in 1932 and his well known vote- getting ability lead some prominent Democrats to think It would be wise to put him on the ticket as Mr. Roose velt's running mate. J IMMY W.\LKER, former mayor of New York, has ended his three years of self-imposed exile and re turned to the metropolis. Tammany Hall, which “made” him politically, took no part In the welcome accorded him, but enough otliers Joined In the affair to fill seven or eight boats that met the liner Manhattan at quaran tine. These included delegations from the Friars club, the Lambs club and the Grand Street Boys’ association of which Jimmy was vice president. At the docks there was a tremendous throng to greet Walker and his wife, the former Betty Compton. B elated reports told of the ter rific hurricane that swept across the southern peninsula of Haiti and that was followed by devastating floods. There was no way of estimat ing tbe number of fatalities, but they were believed to be as many as two thousand. Entire populations of many valley villages were wiped ou* By WILLIAM C, UTLEY T he time: A few months from now. Giant Clt;^t>er No. 7 of the Pan-Americah Airways splits the sak air with great wings 130 feet from Up to tijp. Her four, 3,200- horse power eng.lies dror.J smoothly as they bear their,iiurdcn of 30 or 55 tons out over the oroad Pacific, while you e«id I and 48 others aboard turn for a last look at the California shore fading into the distance behind us. It will be 18 hi;ur8 before we feel our feet on solid ground again, for the next possible landing place'Is 2,400 miles away—Honolulu, the “crossroads of Che Pacific.” VVe are bound on one of the regular sojediiled trips over the new airway to China—to China in three days! Although there Is no land for hun dreds of miles, a radio beam holds us to our course as surely as though we legs—pos^jbly at the gl* dous then we ^are oil apple lieibs Pearl harbor dl stern horizon ter day. Midway Islani tr jo \ were making the trip lo a subway tube. When we are ready to go to bed—and we will be before we reach Hawaii—our seats are converted into berths as comfortable as those In a transcontinental railroiid train. This is literally “sleeping on clouds.” We’re not going to miss much by sleeping, for there Is nothing to see at this stage of the journey but water. Besides, there is so much ahead of us. Our trip, this time, has a double purpose: To experience the thrill of crossing the Pacific In less time than It took to cross the American conti nent a few years ago—and to visit what Is one of the most unusual spots of the United States and Its posses sions. It Is the island of Guam, one of America’s farthest outposts, and a land whose population is “in a fix.” as we shall see presently. Our arrival at Hawaii is spectacular in Its very une-pntfulness. There Is a short stopover .|o we can stretch our op in the of Waikiki, and I. over the pine- ^ .-aring beyond our ai ..California did yes- j j-r ;en hours away, is next stop, J , this time the hop Is not so lonely. VVe soon approach the island of Kauai, whose 500 inches of rainfall make It the wettest spot In the world; we skirt Its 4,000-foot green mountain range, topped by the peak of Walaleale. There are more is lands now—Napali, with its cliffs ris ing from the sea 2,000 feet like great white walls; Nllhau, a plateau with volcanic craters at either end; Kaiila. which looks like a loaf of bread a lit tle overdone to a dark brown; Nihoa, with the grass-grown remains of what were once garden terraces and home- sites for wandering Polynesian adven turers T^ho came here to fish and hunt. An Island Mystery. There are more islands, some of them, like Necker, being merely the tips of volcanoes poking their mouths up out of the sea. On Necker are many peculiar rows of terraces, with upright stones bordering their edges In orderly mystery. Who left them here and why? Nobody knows. Mys teries like this are not unusual to the South seas; there are the grotesque and inexplicable statues of Easter Is land, for Instance. More of these volcanic islands, with fchelr bases 18,000 feet down under the sea, pa^s below us. There Is Lay- san island, flat and barren, while and empty where former forests and vege tation have given way to the onslaught of guano diggers, poachers and rab bits. We pass Pearl and Hermes reef and soon swoop down upon Midway island. It Is only a short while until we hop off for Wake Island, 1,200 miles south west of Midway, and reach it after a trip unbroken by anything out of the ordinary. At our thirsty engines take on a new s.! Vpl.v of fuel. And the next stop. afte,^ui.504 miles of flying. Is Guam. ,i. As we glide *l]pwn upon Apra har bor on the no-'j,5west coast of Guam we are comlngit. rest within the con fines of the ur^'lievable—an absolute monarchy wltl^ j the United States. In the 37 yea s It has belonged to us Guam has beci'ne In many ways like other parts of _'tir country and its pos sessions. There are movie theaters where the dyed-in-the-wool fans rave ever the darling dimples of Shirley Temple. Islanders’ Political Plight. There are housewives who wrestle with electric refrigerator trays to lib erate Ice cubes which will cool the drinking water at their dinner tables. Streamlined automobiles speed over smooth paved roads. Telephone and telegraph quicken the business and social world. Yet these citizens of Guam—20,000 •f them—have no vote, no voice at all In their government. They may be born in this distant corner of the Unit ed States and live there all their lives; they owe undying “allegiance to the American flag and to the republic for which It stands”; they are not aliens, but neither are they citizens of the United States, and. furthermore, never can they become citizens of the United Btates. i Two sailors, stationed at Guam, out for a walk around their barracka .^nothing else to do!). Guam, stop-off point on the air route to the Orient, shown on the map above, Is governed by the navy. Inset: Pan American Airways new Clipper Ship No. 7, largest plane ever built in America. They are ruled by the Iron hand of a United States naval officer appointed by the President; so far this type of rule has been just and wise and un deniably beneficial, nevertheless the governor is as much an absolute mon arch as were any of the kings of old. His word is the only law, Queerly enough. Uncle Sam's gobs under his control perform every governmental and administrative duty from judging criminal cases to blowing traffic whis tles, yet none of them have any real naval duties at all. Arriving at Guam we have covered 6Jj00 miles since leaving California. Let us see where we are now. Some 1,700 miles from Manila, The nau tical position Is given as 130 degrees 26 minutes north latitude and 144 de grees 40 minutes east longitude. Our Island Is larger than Samoa or the Virgin Islands. It Is an oasis of 150 square miles In the watery desert of the Pacific. It Is 29 miles long and from three to ten miles wide. It Is hilly In the south portion, with one peak, Mt. Juraullong Mangloc rising 1,274 feet. The northern part Is a coral plateau, 300 feet high In the in terior, but facing the sea with bold, 600-foot cliffs. There are several oth er fairly good harbors besides Apra. It is heavily forested with valuable hard woods and the soil Is fertile. Nature Mingles With Civilization. Despite the presence of the many scientific improvements of our own civilization which have been fostered under the American rule, the charm of nature is everywhere to be found. Water buffaloes pulling native carts are frequently to he seen. There are native villages consisting of one long street of houses with sweeping ver andas, perched upon posts. The native population is chiefly Chamorros; there are a few Tagalos and Malays. Stretching out Into the hills beyond the capital city, Agana, where two- thirds of the Island's people live, are fields of sugar, rice, tobacco and pine apple. In, the river valleys are cacao, coffee and indigo. Water buffalo and imported horses help with the farm ing, which is the principal Industry of Guam. It is somewhat appropriate that the navy should govern Guam, which is a forbidden naval preserve, although It boasts no fortresses, harbors no guns and withholds no secrets of a military nature. For it was the navy that first claimed the island for Uncle Sam. That was on .Tune 20. 1898, The Spanish governor did not know that the war was on. When Capt. Henry Glass sailed the cruiser Charleston In to Apra harbor and began throwing dreadfully earnest shells right through the tops of the coconut trees, the gov ernor. probably already acquainted with American sailors, thought the boys were just out for a good time and apologized for not being able to return the salute, since he was all out of powder and had to wait until some of his subordinate senors could dash down to the corner drug store and get some. He soon found out that the American navy was playing this game “for keeps” and we bave kept the Pacific prize ever since. Pres ident McKinley directed the navy to administer the Island government two weeks after It was awarded to the United States in the treaty of Paris, December 10. 1898. and the navy has always retained the charge. The Island of Guam Is actually a part of the United States, not simply a protectorate. Yet islt."'torB cannot earn citizenship by merely staying In their part of the United States, or even by coming to the mainland and residing there for the period of years which would ordinarily be sufficient for naturalization. Denby.. Wap Ptspotieihle. The late Edwin Denby attended to that In a proclamation made nearly thirteen years ago, when he was sec retary of the navy. His “court mar tial order,” which has never been re scinded, was: “While a native of Guam owes per petual allegiance to the United States, he Is not a citizen thereof, nor is he an alien, and there are no provisions under which he may become a citizen of the United States by naturalization. Ironically enough, the otrty country to which the Inhabitant of Guam owes allegiance is the one country of which he cannot become a citizen.* The entire island .of Guam, we are told upon landing there In Clipper No. 7, Is a “closed port.” The navy gov ernor’s permission must be given be fore any foreign vessel can tie up at the docks. We had to have special permission to land here, for nobody, foreigner or American, lands here with out the governor’s O. K. No one can get off the island, either, without the approval of that same august gentle man. Even natives have to have his permission to go. Guam is the largest island of the Marianne archipelago: the rest of the Mariannes are owned by Japan. We once considered Guam an important naval base In the Pacific front stretch ing from the Philippines to Alaska, but after the Versailles treaty the de fenses of Guam proved irritating to the Japanese and we removed them. The navy had a little more than 9(X) men at Guam before the treaty, but now there are only about 600. There Is a handful of marines on the island, under the command of a colonel; about two dozen of them are used for police, but the others have nothing at all to do. No Crime Problem Here. There Is little enough need for po lice on Guam, we find. There are only two lawyers there, and only one of the two gets enough business to make it profitable for him to take out a license to practice. Islanders are given a good Ameri can education; in fact, it Is compul sory. There are business opportuni ties there. In the industries of burning lime and charcoal, and fishing and building, although most Inhabitants are farmers—small farmers; each fam ily has Its own lltile plot of land. With little to do, the navy men sta tioned there have devoted most of their time to making all of the Indus try of Guam resemble that of the Unit ed States in miniature. How well they have succeeded is doubtful, but every governor has tried It. If we visit Guam next year, after the treaties expire, it Is possible that we may see the Island better fortified. This Is not likely, however, since grant ing Philippine Independence has left us with little In the Far West to pro tect. After a short stay in so Interesting a place we climb back into our Clipper for the long hop of 1,7(X) miles to the beautiful airport of Manila, arriving there at the start of the third day out from California. One more quick move and we are In Olilna. The world does change! ® W«stern Newap&{>er Ualoa EARTHQUAKE ROCKS SEVENTEEN STATES Thousands Flee Temblors; Little Damage Done. New York.—The East’s most serious earthquake in decades rolled across 17 states and three Canadian provinces, but tbe damage was trifling. Thousands of persons fled from their homes, many of them in night clothes, In fear of a temblor such as wrought at Helena, Mont. The quake apparently centered in Lake Ontario. It caused tbe most ex citement in populous upstate New York, where from Albany to Buffalo sturdy buildings were swayed. Swinging mirrors and clattering • dishes were reported from the Bay of Fundy to Lake Michigan, from Can ada’s capital to the District of Co lumbia. Capital Is Shaken. As far south as Washington the quake shook the earth. Larrabee Sin clair, transportation assistant to Sec retary Roper, was thrown from his bed in the capital. The temblors—there were major ones scant minutes apart—copipleted a tri angle of earthquakes on the continent. Two .men were killed in Helena by shocks which rocked a 500-mile area in western L>ited States and Canada. Far south in Honduras quakes added to the horror of floods. Held to Be Coincidental, Seismologists expressed the belief that the widespread disturbances were merely coincidental. President Roosevelt from his home In Hyde Park, N. Y.—in the area af fected—called on the Red Cross, the army and the FERA to speed relief to families left homeless In subzero weath er at Helena. Families in many communities ran from homes as buildings creaked. They stood half-dressed on street corners to tell how pictures moved and cups clat tered. A telephone operator at Escanaba, Mich., was jolted from her chair. Police Check on Houses. In Brooklyn, N. Y., police hastened to check up on four houses reported to be ready to collapse. §ubway track walkers double-quicked along their sec tions and tunnel officials hurried un derneath the rivers, then reported all as well. Prank O’Donnell of the dominion meteorological bureau In Toronto, Ont, tieociTued the quake the worst ever felt there. The states which reported feeling the temblors were: Maine, New Hamp shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware! Mary land, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin. The District of Columbia and the provinces of New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec also were affected. WASHINGTON BRIEFS Daniel W. Bell, acting budget di rector, after conference with Presi dent Roosevelt, said the President has not yet arrived at any conclusion as to how much money will be used for emergency expenditures for the next fiscal year, but it was the aim of the administration to hold normal expendi tures to $2,200,060,000 exclusive of the debt service which is $1,300,000,000. • Secrefary of Interior Ickes declared he was in favor of a permanent gov ernment housing program embracing the public works administration’s slum clearance program to furnish low cost housing to the lower income class. Such a program, the secretary said, could be carried on by a revolving fund. However, the secretary would not say how large a revolving fund would be required. The government will issue in No vember a new dollar bill described by Secretary Morgentliau as “the hand somest ever.” It will be a silver cer tificate and though the size will be the same as the present currency, there will be changes In design. For the first time there will be printed a pic ture of both sides of the great seal, which was adopted In 1782 before the Constitution was drawn up. This seal will be on the back of the money. Dr. Jacob Vlner, former economic adviser to Secretary of Treasury Henry .Morgenthau, Jr., has returned to Washington for a series of confer ences with treasury officials. Vlner, who refused to reveal the nature of his visit, conferred with Morgenthau and resumed his talks with other offi cials. He played an Important part more than a year ago In formulation of the treasury’s silver purchase pro gram. The Agricultural department report ed the sale of $636,000,000 worth of farm products in September, an in crease of $89,000,000 over the August figure. Report Crew Rescued St. Johns. Newfoundland.—Reports reached here that the English freight er Berwindlea, aground on Dead Man's Island in the gulf of the St. Lawrence, had been abandoned and her crew tak en off by the salvage ship Foundation Franklin. Diet at 104 Years Paris, Te.xas.—Miss Clara Lee, one hundred and four. Is dead here at the home of a niece. Mrs. Nell King. Miss Lee came here 65 years ago from her birthplace, Lafayette, Ind.
