News Keview of Current Events the World Over AJ Smith Joins "Tories" Who Demand Sound Dollar? Opposition to Roosevelt's Monetary Policy Grows? Californians Lynch Two Murdering Kidnapers By EDWARD W. PICKARD More loudly every day Is heard the demand for a return to the ??sound money" by the increasing number of those whom the President I "?a in Him mnts ; I for, as the time for | the assembling of cnn I gross nears there is n 1 fast growing fear that the inflationists in that body will move for the starting of the money printing presses. Between the "tories" and the Infla tionists stands Mr. _ Koosevelt, still seem Alfred E. ingly unperturbed, In Smith slstlng on carrying out further his gold trading plan for devaluing the dollar and thus In creasing commodity prtces, with some form of stabilization to follow?either a gold standard devalued dollar or a commodity price Index paper dollar. That the dispute over the President's monetary policy Is not partisan Is em pljasized by the stand taken by Alfred E. Smith in an open letter written for the December issue of the New Out look but released to the press in ad vance. Mr. Smith expressed his disbelief that "the Democratic party Is fated to be always the party of greenback era, paper money printers, free silver ltes, currency managers, rubber dollar manufacturers, and crackpots." He added that If this is to be so "the Issue is more than a partisan one. because we are dealing today with the party which actually holds responsible government office, which is not merely advocating cure-alls In a campaign, but which has In its hands the present welfare of 130,000,000 peo ple and the future of our most cher ished American Institutions. . . . "What we need In this country Is absolute dependability in our money standards. It Is the only thing which will restore confidence. The latest fiscal moves of the administration have undermined public confidence. They have created uncertainty. "Uncertainty paralyzes business, dis courages private Initiative, drives money into hiding, and places the en tire burden of sustaining the popula tion on the central government. "In the absence of anything defi nitely known to be better. I am for a return to the gold standard. I am for gold dollars as against baloney dol lars. I am for experience as against experiment. If I must choose be tween private management of business and management of a government bu reaucracy, I am for private manage ment "I am ready to go through a certain amount of deflation If the choice Is between this and outright money In flation. If I must choose between the leaders of the past, with all the errors they have made and wlth^jall the selfishness they have been guilty of, and the Inexperienced young college professors who hold no responsible public office, but are perfectly ready to turn 130,000,000 Americans Into guinea pigs for experimentation. I am going to be for the people who have made the country what it Is. And I say this with full knowledge of the fact that there are many things In the old order of society which I should like to have changed and which I do not applaud or even condone." t>RESIDENT ROOSEVELT himself made no comment on Mr. Smith's letter, but It drew from General John son, NRA administrator, who was at Warm Springs, a characteristically vio lent burst of denunciation. The gen eral also made an unwarranted attack | on Professor Sprague, calling him a "hitherto obscure professor" who "by a dramatic resignation obtained his little hour or two to strut across the stage.** This of a man whom the Bank of England had been paying $25,000 a year to act as Its adviser until the President persuaded him to come home and serve our treasury In a like ca pacity for $10,000 a year. IT WAS announced by the War de * partment that the low bid for tru< ks for the conservation corps was made by Chevrolet Motor company with an offer of $029.19 per unit. The next lowest bidder was North west Motor company of Rethesda. Md., a Lord dealer, whose bid was $*371.10 per unit delivered at Detroit, $080.10 for deliveries at Chicago and $087.60 on deliveries at Louisville, Ky. The Chevrolet bid was for six-cyl inder trucks and that of the Ford dealer for eight-cylinder trucks. The sperp cations of the War department provided for not less than six-cylinder motors. R. L. Sabine, head of the Ford agency who was low bidder on a re cent truck offer of the Department of Agriculture but complained recently that new bids had been asked for trucks of not less than six-cylinder motors, said Ford deliveries could be made with such promptness that the government would save money and de clared that If he did not receive the order he would appeal to Comptroller General McCarl. PIRST of the big employers to suffer 1 for alleged violation of the Presi dent's re-employment argreement Is Loft, Inc., which operates a chain of restaurants and candy stores through out the country. General Johnson or dered the company to remove the Blue Eagle from its stores in Washington, and charges made against it by the New York compliance board were un der investigation. President C. G. Guth of the company denied the ac cusations. '"Thousands of furious caiifor nlans stormed the Jail at San Jose, fought a desperate battle with the po lice and dragged out Jack Holmes and Thomas Thurmond, confessed kidnap ers and murderers of Brooke L. Hart, the young son of a prominent mer chant, and hanged them to trees in the city park. Fifteen thousand persons, many of them women and children, witnessed the lynching and cheered on the mob. That any of the lynchers ever will be punished is highly Im probable. The crime of the two vic tims was peculiarly diabolical and cold-blooded and it Is likely even the authorities, unofficially, welcome this reversion to old-time vigilante meth ods of dispensing justice. Gov. james Rolph had refused to send troops to help the sheriff, and later when told of the lynching said: "This is the best lesson that Cali fornia has ever given the country. We showed the country that the state is not going to tolerate kidnaping!" ROGER TOUHY and three com panions, tried In St. Paul for the kidnaping of William Haram, Jr., fared better than did the California kidnap ers and murderers. The four Chicago gangsters were acquitted by a Jury. It was the first defeat for the federal government in the kidnaping cases in which it has figured since passage of the so-called Lindbergh law at the last session of congress. The Touhy crowd, however, were still to be tried In Chicago for the kidnaping of Make the Barber" Fac tor. ? #TooArnmvo - ???-? MlOOUUlVl/1.'

A mob at St Joseph battled with the police and National Guards men and took Lloyd Warner from the Jail and hanged and burned him. Got. Guy B.

Camille Chautemps has succeeded Albert Sarraut, who was overthrown by the chamber of depu r?I ties, and has formed a government that In cludes fourteen of the former ministers, among these being Paul-Boncour, D a 1 a dier and Sarraut.

Cbautemps was unable to persuade | the dissident Socialists and the lef* Republicans to enter his cabinet, so it is made up of so-called radical Socialists. THE Co-operative Farmers National Grain corporation, which has been fighting for years for full membership In the Chicago Board of Trade, pro posed an amendment to the grain ex change code which would compel the board to grant it and other co-opera tives full trading and clearing priv ileges. Gov. W. 1. Myers of the federal farm credit administration, in a letter to Farm Administrator George X. Peek, which went into the record, gave the full support of the government to the | amendment. Two other governmental s|x>kesinen ' I>r. J. W. T. I>uvel of the grain futures administration and Wendell Byrd, spe^ \ cial assistant to the attorney general, i likewise approved the Farmers' Na- I tional proposal.

The chief of staff said the array's mobilization of the civilian conserva tion corps was In striking contrast with the 1917 mobilization and gave "renewed evidence of the value of systematic preparation for emergency." But. he added, the heavy drain on the army's 12.000 regular officers in marshaling these 300.000 men "has brought regular army training In the continental United States to a virtual standstill and has almost destroyed the readiness of units for Immediate and effective employment on emergen cy doty."

BURGESS JERRY HAS OTHER THINGS TO THINK ABOUT REDDY FOX went off to the Old Pasture to put on his thinking cap. Jerry iluskrat Just stopped thinking about that house It eddv talked of building. It couldn't be built without mud, and how were the; to get mud where no mud was? They couldn't, so that was all there was about It. It had been great fun to plan that house for Reddy Fox. It bad Interested him greatly and be would dearly have loved to help build It But It couldn't be done, and be sides he had other things to think of. Tve had rest enough." thought Jerry the very night he decided that Reddy*s house could be no more than a dream. "It Is time for me to begin to think about getting gome food laid away for winter. If Reddy Fox ever has a house like mine he will have to build It without any help from me. I've wasted all the time on It 1 am going to. It Is queer how Interested In houses Reddy has become. 1 never knew him to be before. And. now I think of it he has been wonderfully pleasant He certainly can be nice when he wants to be. He hasn't once tried to catch me. I don't believe that such a thought had even entered his head." Wouldn't Reddy have smiled If he could have known what Jerry was thinking? You know and I know that the catching of Jerry was all that he, was thinking about and his talk of a house was merely to get Jerry so In terested that be would come ashore. The next night Reddy visited the Smiling Pool Just as usual. He couldn't keep away. He hadn't thought of any way to get mud to build the house, but he hoped to be able to per suade Jerry that they might start the house and to trust to luck to get the mud when It was needed. But when he reached the Smiling Pool no Jerry was visible. Reddy waited and .waited and waited. At last Jerry appeared but It was plain to see that he was In a hurry. He merely nodded to Reddy Fox and then dived. "Well, I never!" exclaimed Reddy. staring at the Uttle circles on the sur face of the water made as Jerry dived. "Jerry seems to have some thing on his mind. I wonder what he is up to now? He might at least have stopped long enough to pass the time of day. I mast find out what tie Is I about-" So Reddy waited and waited and waited acme more. He mi razed to bide bis impatience and when at last Jerry climbed out on the Bis Rock for a rest, Reddy was just the same pleas- j ant fellow he bad been the night be- 1 fore. "Well, Jerry," he exclaimed, "I j thought you had deserted me. I"re I been waiting ever so long I thought j perhaps you may have thought of ; some way of building that house with out mud." *Tm sorry, but there Isn't any other ' way," replied Jerry. "If there was I I wouldn't be able to help you any. I re got too much to do to mind anybody's j business but my own. If you want j a house youH hare to get some one else to help build or else build It all ! yourself." "But, what, may I ask, are you ? ' suddenly busy about?" asked Reddy and tried hard to keep the eagerness from his roice. "I'm laying up food for the win ter." replied Jerry briefly. "TTattl ; that Is done I can t thick of anything else." With this he ilired from the Big Rock. c 1533. by T W Banrim?wvr Serrlcw ful of mayonnaise and one-foartb enp fnl of candied Marinate witb freneb dressing and raft eucb *a ni loaf witb a cut c!ove of gariic.
