News Review of Current Events the World Over Congress Quickly Acts on President Roosevelt's Request for New Legislation?Reopening of Banks Spurs Upturn in Business Activities. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S request to congress that he be given au thorlty to make cuts in the salaries of government employees up to 15 per cent, and to make re ductions in the amounts paid to vet erans. that authority to Include practically an entire revamping of the government policy as it applies to government ex penditures. as it ap ! plies to veterans of j the World war and other wars, met with a quick response on the part of the house -?W i President Roosevelt of representatives and the senate/ The bill passed the senate by a vote of 02 to. 13. Forty-three Democrats and nineteen Republicans voted for the measure; four Democrats and nine Republicans against it. The vote in the house was 200 for the measure and 138 against it That result was not achieved without diffi culty. and the difficulty came in the ranks of the President's party, and its passage would not have been possible without the aid of Republican mem bers of the house. In a party caucus 92 Democratic members bolted the President's leadership and voted against the measure, their opposition being to that portion of the bill giv ing the President dictatorial powers in the matter of expenditures for vet erans. At the final roll call, 197 Dem ocrats and 09 Republicans voted for the bill, and 92 Democrats, 41 Repub licans and five Farmer-I*aborites against It Several members who were opposed to the bill but who did not wish to be recorded as against an economy measure, decided not to vote. An analysis of the vote shows that 08 per cent of the Democrats voting and 02 per cent of the Republicans 6tood by It, but lenders said that the Democratic percentage for the meas ure would have been much lower had not a parliamentary maneuver been Invoked to prevent rebellious mem bers of the party caucus from going through with their plans. Still another factor was credited with part of the favorable vote, and that was the word passed around the house cloakrooms that President Roosevelt planned to denounce the opposition in a nation-wide radio broadcast if the bill had failed of ap proval. It is believed the President will make a saving of approximately $385, 000.000 In the expenditures for vet eran reJfef by cutting out all men whose disability, on which claims for relief are based, was not the result of war service. The reduction In the salaries of government employees is expected to save approximately an other $150,000,000. In the senate an effort was made to delay the passage of the act by pro posing amendments and the senate chamber resounded to the oratory of friends of the veteran and of federal employees, battling, against certain and overwhelming odds, to win some amendment to the bill. 11 rilll,K the President has received VV Republican aid in securing de sired legislation for his hanking, econ oniy and beer program, he will prot> ably not he able to depend upon it to the same extent at least for his farm program That contemplates giv Ing the President die tutorial powers in so manipulating the price of farm products to bring them up to what Is termed a "parity" price. The contem plated law would au thorize the President, acting through the Secretary I Wallace wrnnry ot agncumire, to nx a immy price of each farm product; that la. a price at which the producer of the ] product would he placed on a parity ' with the producer of manufactured articles. For example, the secretary | of agriculture might declare $1 a bushel to he the parity price of wheat The object then would he to manipu late fhe price of wheat upward until the desired parity price should be reached. In order to raise the prices of farm pr??duct8 the secretary of agriculture under the terms of the bill would In coke carious devices. He might em ploy the domestic allotment plan to Influence the prices of one group of commodities and the government land leasing plan In the case of another froup. Secretary Wallace insists that it would not be a price fixing law for the reason that no price would be fixed by | flat. Instead, a price would be declared to aim at and tbe measures adopted would be those Judged most likely to raise the price to the point desired. The products covered in the con templated law are wheat, corn, cotton, cattle, sheep, hogs, milk, dairy prod ucts, tobacco and rice. Along with this the President pro poses the scaling down of farm mort gages and a reduction In the in terest rates through agricultural credit agencies, all of which are to be consolidated under the direction of Henry Morgenthau, Jr. BANKS began opening for business on March 13. On that date only banks connected wilth the Federal Re serve system and located In Federal Reserve bank cities opened their doors under licenses from the Treas ury department. Banks In all clear ing bouse cities that had applied for and been Issued licenses either by the federal treasury or, In the case of state banks, by state banking depart ments, began opening on Tuesday, and those, in the smaller cities and towns on Wednesday. There were no restrictions placed on the banks In the way of limiting with drawals, except where the depositor was attempting to secure sums that would Indicate hoarding, when the per son making the withdrawal was re- - quired to Btate bis purpose and give his name and address The banks were also required not to pay out gold or gold certificates, the embargo the President bad placed on gold being continued, and vast amounts of the metal were being re turned to the bunks. Up to March 13 It was estimated the Federal Reserve bank In New Vork had received more than $100,000,000 of hoarded gold and In Chicago more than $23,000,000 had been returned. The returns through out the nation Indicated a larger amount of gold brought back to the banks than the total withdrawal of the metal since February 1, though the government did not give out any definite statement on the subject. It was after the President had re peated and emphasized the embargo he had placed on gold payments that Governor Blood of Utah signed a bill passed by the legislature requiring "the treasurer of the state of Utah and of each taxing subdivision within the state to pay all public employees under their Jurisdiction In gold coin." Where will Utah get the gold? The President, In a published state ment and also In a national broad cast, detailed In simple language the reasons for the natlonnl bank holiday and the plans for opening. He was careful to emphasize the point that the time of opening any hank was not determined by Its relative condi tion, but by the ability of the officials of the Federal Reserve banks and of the Treasury department to make tbe proper check for the Issuing of licenses. He explained that banks that were not sound would not be permitted to open except under government supervision for the purpose of reorganizing them. The reopened banks were supplied with a liberal allownnce of the new currency based on bank assets, hut in practically no case was any of this needed as the deposits exceeded the withdrawals, and In many cases the new currency was returned to the Fed eral Reserve banks. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT took time out from the urging of new^ legislation to give some consideration to the filling of Important diplomatic posts. He has sent to the senate the names < of Robert Worth Bins I ham, publisher of | Louisville. Ky? as am- < hassador to Great1 Britain; Jesse Isador Straus, president of I R. U. Mary & Co, New Tork deiiarttnent store, as ambassador to France, and Jose lihus Daniels, war sec- ~~ retnry of the navy. Je*** '? Straus under whom Mr. Roosevelt served as assistant secretary, as ambassador to Mexico. At least one of these will meet with some opposition In the senate. .Sena tor Arthur Itohinson (Rep.. Ind.) an nounced that he would offer evidence that Mr. Bingham had made speeches In England which caused him to be labeled as "apologetic American." Advisers of the President, however, declared that he was fully satisfied that Mr. Bingham will assert and de I fend America's position on nil Issues ' emphatically and pat riot leal I y. WORLD war veterans, the U. S. Supreme court decided, are with out priority over other depositors In the claims against Insolvent hanks for the money received from the United States. The ruling was handed down In a case Involving a d?'|x>slt of approx imately $0,000 which Sam Splcer had In the flargis Bank and Trust com pany of Itreathltt county, Kentucky, when It became Insolvent The assets of the hank were not suf ficient to pay all deiiositors. and tt was contended that money received from the United States by veterans for Insurance and disability allowances was money of the United States while on deposit In hanks to the credit of veterans and was therefore entitled to priority. The Supreme court decided otherwise. WITH a special message of only 72 words?the shortest Presi dential message ever written?the President secured legislation amend ing the Volstend act ?nd making 3.05 per cent beer legal In the United States. The President's 72 words were: "I recommend to the congress the passage of legislation for the Imme diate modification of the Volstend act, in order to legalize the manufac ture and sale of beer and other bev erages of such alcoholic content as is permissible under the Constitution; and to provide through such manu facture and sale, by substantial taxes, a proper and much needed revenue for the government. "I deem action at this time to be of the highest importance." The beer bill provides for an alco holic content of not over 3.05 per cent, for a tax of $5 a barrel, for a license fee of $1,000 for each brewery, and the law to be effective 15 days after it Is signed by the President, which means beer will be on sale shortly after the first of April. The bill was passed by a strictly non-partisan vote. In the house 233 Democrats voted for it. and 58 against; 73 Republicans for and 39 against, and 5 Farmer-Labor for. Twenty members did not vote, and there are two va cancies. The senate amended the house hill to include wine, to make the alcoholic content of both 3.05 Instead of 3.2 and to prohibit sale to children under six teen years of age. The vote in the senate was 43 for the bill and 30 against, also along strictly non-parti san lines. It Is estimated the $5 a barrel tax on beer will produce about $125,000, 000 additional revenue. OF SPECIAL Interest to Roman Catholics Is the allocution deliv ered by Pope Pius at the secret con sistory Inaugurating the holy year. His holiness issued a warning that commun ism Is attempting to exploit the world's political and economic disorders and ex pressed a ferrent wish for disarmament and settlement of war debts. The pontiff be stowed the Homan purple on six new cardinals of the church and announced 2*. Pope Piu* that two others would he elevated later. The six elevated were: Pletro Fumnsonl-BIondi, former apostolic delegate at Washington; Archbishop Vllleneauve of Quebec. Angelo Dold, Archbishop Innitzer of Vienna. Arch bishop Costa of Florence and Arch bishop Fossatl of Turin. Second only to the "nefarious propaganda of communists" which, he said, threatens Christian civilization, the pontiff deplored proselyting activi ties of Protestant sects In Italy and Rome, He describes these activities as being "impudently pursued" and urged all the faithful to co-operate against "this menace and defend the treasured riches of city and nation." ni'.ANS for immediate reconstruction and rehabilitation are well under way In I?s Angeles and Its suburbs, where earth tremors caused 115 deaths and property damage estimated at $75,000,000. An appeal has been made to the federal government and the Reconstruction Finance corporation for the majority of funds needed for re building. Congress passed a bill. In- | troduced by Senator William (J. Mc Adoo of f.03 Angeles, for an emer gency appropriation of $5,000,000 to , relieve Immediate distress In the I stricken area.
