News Review of Current Events the World Over President's Memorial Day Address at Gettysburg?Major Labor Disputes Trouble Administration?Attempt to Assassinate Ambassador Caffery in Havana. By EDWARD W. PICKARD @ by Western Newspaper Union. "DEFORE a vnst multitude of per sod^ gathered at Gettysburg battle fleldPresident Roosevelt delivered a Me morial day address that was In effect a ???J President Roosevelt Ann Ue nnU? K vigorous attncn on critics of his plans for national recovery. In troduced by Governor Plnchot as "the first citizen of the world," Mr. Roosevelt first paid eloquent tribute to the men of the North and South who fought bravely on that historic field, and described how the sections of the nation had been welded into nlnn o I Hod Kir fnrol crn VUC, lis UJJIIJ UClUg BlUCU UJ ware, until now all sectionalism has disappeared. He continued: "We are all brothers now In a new understanding. The grain farmers of the West do not set themselves up for preference If we seek at the same time to help the cotton farmers of the South; nor do the tobacco growers complain of discrimination If. at the 6ame time, we help the cattle men of the plains and mountains. "In our planning to lift Industry to normal prosperity the farmer upholds our efforts. And as we give the farm er a long sought equality the city worker understands and helps. All of us share In whatever good comes to the average man. We know that we all have a stake?a partnership In the government of our country. "Today we have many means of knowing each other?means that have sounded the doom of sectionalism. It Is, I think, as I survey the picture from every angle, a simple fact that the chief hindrance to progress comes from three elements which, thank God, grow less In Importance with the growth of a clearer understanding of our purposes on the part of the over whelming majority. "These groups are those who seek to stir up political animosity or to build political advantage by the dis tortion of facts; those who, by declin ing to follow the rules of the game, seek to gain an unfair advantage over those who live up to the rules; and those few who still, because they have never been willing to take an Interest In their fellow Americans, dwell Inside of their own narrow spheres and still represent the selfishness of sectional Ism which has no place in our national life." GOING from Gettysburg to New York, the President embarked on the cruiser Indianapolis, put out to sea and reviewed the American-fleet, which, as assistant secretary of the navy, he helped to command during the World war and In which he main tains the warmest Interest With him were Secretary Swanson and Josephus Daniels, the war time navy secretary. There were some other distinguished guests, but members of congress tried In vain to get aboard. The Indianapolis was anchored about a mile from Ambrose lightship, and 88 fighting ships passed proudly In review. The Pennsylvania, flying the four-starred flag of Admiral David A. Sellers, commander of the fleet led the parade and then, with the Louis ville, turned out of line and anchored near the Indianapolis. It was an Im posing spectacle, such as had not been witnessed since the early days of Pres ident Coolldge's administration. T TNDER the present administration the navy Is doing quite well, but the army feels that It Is neglected. Secretary of War Dern and Newton D. Raker, who held the portfolio dur ing the war, appeared before the house military affairs committee and urged the passage of the Thompson bill, which would Increase the strength of the army to 165,000 enlisted men and 14,063 officers. That the present regu lar army Is inadequate In the face of present disturbed world conditions was declared by both gentlemen. The American army as now manned would not simultaneously protect our outlying possessions, train civilians, and repel "any sudden Invaders," Sec retary Dern Insisted. A more satisfac tory army would cost the nation $35, O0O.000 annually, he said in explaining that he had not suggested an increase to President Roosevelt because of the President's desire to balance the bud get. Our present army has but 118,000 men and 10.000 officers. Mr. Baker could not "Imagine an army leas than Ave times the present ?Us of ours having the slightest effect on the military policy of any other nation." Of course, he did not advo cate any such Increase; he said four divisions, one In each section of the country, with a fifth free to train ci vilians, would suffice. THOUGH administration leaders have asserted that labor troubles are to be expected In a time of recov ery and that they are not alarmed by the strikes <Umt are now In effect or are threatened for the near future, It was evident In Washington that these optimists were disturbed by the pros pect of general strikes In the cotton textile and steel Industries. It was believed President Roosevelt -would have to Intervene in the effort to bring about peace. Frequent conferences of officials were without result. As General Johnson refused to change the order permitting cotton mills to reduce their output by 25 per cent for twelve weeks, the United Tex tile Workers of America summoned all cotton mill employees to quit their ma chines, and it was predicted that 300, 000 would respond. The workers claim the reduction would amount to 25 per cent cut in their wages, and say they will not stand for this. They also de mand a 30-hour week with no reduc tion of pay. Fighting for recognition of non company unions, a point on which the steel masters will not yield, the Amal gamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers announced that a general strike would be called in mid-June un less its members win the right to choose spokesmen freely for collective bargaining. The union leaders, who contend the collective bargaining guaranty in the NRA has been violated by employers, asked: "Is the American Iron and Steel ln | stitute more powerful than the Presi dent of the United States?" ppNDEAYTORING to learn what small business throughout the country thinks about the NRA, the national in dustrial conference board has been conducting a survey that has not brought definite results. Tabulating these results as best It can, the board states it found that 34.4 per cent fa vored the NRA as a whole; another 12.8 per cent favored It with some reservations; 3G per cent were definite ly opposed to It, while 6.4 per cent could not see that It made much dif I ference. /"^UBA is now entirely freed from ^ United States suzerainty, through a treaty which was signed at the State department by plenipotentiaries of both countries and ratified by the sen ate. The pact abrogates the Piatt amendment providing for the mainte nance of the Independence and terri torial and financial Integrity of the Island republic and authorizing the United States to intervene therein for the protection of the country and the preservation of order. In the new treaty the United States retains the lease of Guantanamo as a naval base. The people of Cuba rejoiced ex ceedingly over the abrogation of the Piatt amendment, and President Men dleta declared a three days national holiday. I_J AVANA police learned that there 11 was a plot to assassinate Jeffer son Caffery, American ambassador to I Cuba, and to Uestrov American nron J. Caffery erty on the Island. They took extraordi nary precautions to protect Mr. Caftery, but despite the pres ence of soldiers at the entrance to his home some unidenti fied assailants drove by In a car and ponred a stream of bullets from sawed-off shot guns Just at the time Mr. Caffery usually leaves ror me yacni ciud. tie was doi Injured but one of tbe soldier* was grievously wounded, his right leg be ing torn oil by an explosive bullet Mr. CafTery went on to the yacht club calmly and refused to say who be thought tbe assassins might be. Cuban government officials were greatly excited by the attempt on the ambassador's life, and there was an Inclination to blame tbe Communists, but leaders of that party denied their followers had anything to do with It. In recent demonstrations the radicals have attacked Mr. CalTery In their speeches. Presumably the sole pur poM Is to attr op trouble between the governments of the United States and 1 Cuba. DELEGATES from the five New England states. New York and Pennsylvania have signed a solemn pact for the protection of women and minors In Industry, which has been under negotiation for several years. The compact, which must be rati fied by the legislatures of the several states, contemplates minimum stand ards of wages for women and minors and contains a provision that "no employer shall pay a woman or a minor an unfair or oppressive wage." State boards are to be set up with authority to Investigate pay rolls and require compliance. ^HARGES are made by the house ^ agriculture committee that Joint stock land banks have been using fed eral funds made available under the 193.'! farm loan act to buy In their own bonds at 35 cents on the dollar while pressing foreclosures on their debtors. The committee approved the Fulmer bill to authorize farmers who have ob tained loans from Joint stock land banks to buy on the open market joint stock land bank bonds, tendering same to the Joint stock land banks In pay ment of their Indebtedness. The bill would also enable farmers to repur chase their lands that have been pre viously foreclosed If said lands are still in the possession of these banks. STATESMEN from many nations met in Geneva and reopened the sessions of the disarmament conference, with a full realization of the fact that their failure may mean the renewal of war In Europe in the not far future, and possibly the end of the League of Nations. Such hope as they had of breaking the impasse seemed to rest on the plan which Foreign Commissar Lit vinov of Russia said he was ready to offer. It was believed he would con centrate on a policy of political secur ity as a basis for disarmament. Nor man H. Davis, American ambassador at-large, presented the views of Presi dent Roosevelt, urging an accord em phasizing supervision of arms and a more rigid control of the Interna tional traffic in arms. Louis Barthou, foreign minister of | France, showed no inclination to yield to the German demands for rearma ment. The French are said to believe Hitler is due soon to run up against domestic troubles that will tie his hands; they will continue to promote their defensive alliances until the German chancellor gives In, and Just now are counting on a pact of mutual assistance with Russia and the little entente which will be signed if, as expected, Russia enters the League of Nations. Premier Mussolini of Italy, in a speech before the chamber of deputies, said that disarmament talk was fool ish and in so many words suggested that war was the only way out of the economic adversities that beset Italy and Europe generally. THE Irish Free State took another step toward becoming a republic j when the dail eireann passed a bill | abolishing the senate. After this ac- j lion nay Deen taaen President EatuoD do V a 1 e r a said: "We want England to get out We do not want to have anything to do with Britain. If there is to be any form of association, it must be In the com mon interest of both. We must be the Judges of whether It Is to our advantage or not." Eamon d? Valera No definite plan was mentioned, and J none Is expected to be put forward be- j fore March, 1935, when abolition of the ! senate will become effective. Until ; that date any action of the dall would have to have senate approval. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT signed the Joint resolution of congress eta powering him to stop arms shipments > destined for countries at war, and Im- ' mediately proclaimed an embargo j against shipments of arms or muni- ! tlons from the United States to Bolivia and Paraguay. Ills action was the : first of its kind In American history. | Because of existing treaties he could not forbid actual shipment of arms j but he did prohibit their sale In the 1 United States to the warring coun tries. | Costa Durels, Bolivian represents- j tive In Geneva, before an open ses- j slon of the League of Nations council j Invoked Article 13, the arbitration clause of the league covenant, as a bnsis for settling the conflict with j Paraguay. If his demand Is granted the dispute will automatically go to the World's Court of Permanent Jus tice for settlement- Durels said an arms embargo would mean the "finish** of Bolivia. CODOS and Rossi, French flyers who hold the distance record, sought to better their mark by making a non- , stop flight from Paris to California. , They got across the Atlantic ocean all ? right but a weakness of one wing of their big monoplane developed and tbey were forced to land at New York. Indians Start Wagon Trek Across the Continent CHIKF WIXTKR MOON and a band of fellow Indians have started in a covered w agon on u trek from Washington. D. C, to Oregon, following the route taken by Jason Lee, Methodist missionary. In 1834. They will reach Oregon in time to take part In the celebration of the one hundredth anni versary of the missionary's arrival on September 8. In our illustration United States Senator C. L. McNnry of Oregon Is seen shaking hands with Chief Winter Moon as most of the Oregon delegation in congress and Senator Pope 1 o( Idaho look on. BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON W. BURGESS MORE TROUBLE FROM SALLY SLY A FEW mornings after his talk with ** Jenny Wren about Redeye the Vlreo, Peter once more visited the Old Orchard. No sooner did he coine In sight than Jenny Wren's tongue began to fly. "What did I tell you, Peter Rabbit? What did 1 tell you? 1 ?new I* was so, and It Is!" cried Jenny. "What Is so?" asked Peter rather testily, for he hadn't the least Vea what Jenny Wren was talking abouL "Sally Sly did lay nn egg In Redeye's nest, and now It has hatched, and I don't know whatever Is to become of Redeye's own children. It's perfectly "What Did I Tell You, Peter Rabbit? What Did I Tell You7" scandalous," cried Jenny, and hopped about and Jerked her tail and worked herself Into a small brown furv. "The Redeyes are working them selves to feathers and bone feeding that ugly young cowbird. while theii own babies aren't getting half enough to eat," she continued. "One of them has died already. He was kicked out of the nest by that young brute." "How dreadful V cried i'eter. "If he does things like that I should think the Redeyes would throw him out of the nest." "They're too soft hearted," said Jen ny. "I can tell you I wouldn't be so soft-hearted. No. slree, I wouldn't! But they say It Isn't his fault that he's there, that he's nothing but a helpless baby, so they Just must take care ot him.? "Then why don't they feed their own | habies first and give him what's left?"' asked Peter. "Because he's twice as big as any I of their own habies and so strong and J greedy that he simply snatches the ( food out of the very mouths of the j others. Because he gets most of the 1 food he Is growing twice as fast as they are. I wouldn't he surprised If he kicks all the rest of them out before ' he gets through. Sir. and Mrs. lied eye are dreadfully distressed about It hut they will feed him. tiecause they ' say It Isn't Ids fault It's a dreadful aTair. and the talk ol the whole or chard. I suppose his mother Is gad ding ahou! somewhere, having a good | time and not caring a dip of her tail i feathers what becoaies ef him. 1 be lieve in being good hearted. I certain iy do. But there is such a thing as overdoing the master. Thank good ness I'm not so weak minded that I can be Imposed on in such a wav as that." "That may be so," replied Peter, "but Just the same I can't help feeling a lot of respect for Mr. and Mrs. Bed eye because of their kind heartedaess." C.
