The Alamance gleaner f C$8* ' I VOL. LXII. GRAHAM, Nt CM THURSDAY APRIL 9, 1936. NO. 10. By Edward W. Pickard ? Western Newspaper Union Flandin Calls on Germany for a Showdown PIEKRE-ETIENNE FLANDIN, French foreign minister, speaking at Vereluy, demanded In tbe name of his government that Adolf Hitler lay nis cards on the tame, and Intimated that un less Germany gives concrete proof of no aggressive Intentions In central or western Europe, France will decline to negotiate further with the reich and will prepare for war. Flandln made It clear that France will stand urmiy wun ner Flahdln alUeg_ the uttle en tente and Russia. Said be: ? "The Fuehrer says Germany does not want to take anything from any body, bat he already had said that af ter the Saar plebiscite. He then also reaffirmed the Locarno treaty, which since has been repudiated. Id the name of the Integral sovereignty of the Ger man people, does the Fuehrer Intend, when he thinks the moment favorable, to bring up the Danzig question? "When he proposes a nonaggression pact with Lithuania does he accept definitely the status of Memel or is he ]ust stalling for time to prepare new deeds of force In violation of treaties? "If Germany Intends to assert her right' to possess and exploit colonies, what colonies is she going to claim? "Is it not significant that at the mo ment Hitler launches his peace appeal, Nazi propaganda is redoubling In Aus tria, Danish Schieswig, Polish Silesia, among the German minority in Czecho slovakia, and even In German Switzer land? "Teg or no, does Hitler renounce annexation and even full absorption of the populations of these territories into the reich, or does he proclaim that these are Internal affairs of the Ger man people in which he does not in tend to let other nations meddle? "If the latter case be the truth, then we understand why Germany is rearm ing at a record pace." Germany Almost Solidly Supports Hitler GERMANY'S men and women to the number of 44,389,140 declared by their votes In the retchstag elections that they supported the policies of Hit ler. Only 542,888 had the nerve to vote against the relchsfuebrer, and a still smaller fraction refused to go to the polls. Among the latter were the for mer Crown Prince Buprecbt of Bavaria and his wife. Hitler's victory was thus extraor dinarily complete, and the Nazis cele brated It with wild rejoicings in Berlin and other cities. It was the culmina tion of a three years' campaign in which the leaders sought to persuade the population of the reich that only Hitler could save the country from great danger. According to Berlin cor respondents, there was a difference of opinion there as to the influence the triumph would have on the fuehrer. Some said It would stiffen his back and induce him to ride roughshod over the powers which objected to his scrapping of the Locarno pact Others said the election would make him feel so strong he would be willing to make a conces sion to his neighbors in an effort to help establish "the new order In Eu rope" to which he referred so frequent ly in his election speeches. The new relchstag will be the largest In history, having about 740 members. Most of them will be officials of tbe Nazi party. Japan Expects Trouble With Soviet Russia THOUGH Koki Hirota, the new Jap anese premier, said a few days ago that while he was in office there would be no war. it is evident his government really Is looking for serlon* trouble with Russia. This feeling Is expressed by E 1 J i Amau, spokesman for the Tokyo foreign of fice. wbo said: "Japan mnst prepare for Sor let aggression." Recent actl Titles In dicate the Reds are aTailing themselves of the critical situation which developed after E,jl Amau ti.e recent military revolt In Tokyo and are Increasing the strength of their troops along the Manchukuan border." A man saM the "recent Soviet poller baa been ,(o lira oo any persons near the border." Be said he regard* this a-; rather strange behavior on the part of a "friendly neighbor." He said Pre mier Blrota bad protested the alleged action to K. K. Yurenev, Russian am bassador to JapAt Almost every day there are reports of clashes on the Mongolian border, each side blaming the other as aggres sors. The Outer Mongolian government, reinforced by conclusion of Its mutual assistance pact with Soviet Russia, dis patched a note to the Japanese-spon sored state of Manchnkuo, declaring its readiness to resist any invasion. Italian Bombers Wreck Second Ethiopian City MUSSOLINI'S air bombers were busy again in Ethiopia, virtually ruining Barar, second city of that country, with a downpour of explosives. Most of the populace bad fled when scouting planes gave a warning of what was to come, so the casualties were few. An official telephone mes sage from Harar to Addis Ababa said fifteen incendiary bombs struck the Egyptian Red Cross hospital and oth ers hit the Ethiopian Red Cross hos pital. A French mission, the French con sulate, the Ethiopian radio station and prison all were reported officially to have been ruined. The attack on Barar, coupled with a heavy bombardment of Jljlga, fifty miles east of Barar and a center of Ethiopia's southern defenses, raised native fears In Addis Ababa that the capital itself might be the next target Government in Business Decried by Committee ACCORDING to the committee on government competition with private enterprise, whose report has been made to the President, that prac tice is wholly destructive except in situations where the public welfare can only thus be served. "The govern ment's function," the report said, "Is to protect economic activities of its citizens and not to supplant them." The committee unanimously agreed that only under the following condi tions Is the government Justified In entering Into competition with private enterprise : 1. When required to assure adequate preparation for, and creation of, the facilities for national defense. 2. For the conservation of natural resources. 3. When private enterprise falls to conduct needed scientific research snd exploratory activities to advance In dustrial development, or In the inter est of public health and safety. 4. When private enterprise falls to render a service necessary for the gen eral welfare. Alien Deportation Bill Reported to Senate DESPITE vigorous opposition, which will reappear on the floor of the senate, the senate committee on Immi gration and naturalization reported fa vorably the Kerr-Cool Idge alien deportation bill, which Secretary Perkins has been try ing to get tbrongh congress for three years. It will give her and two other mem bers of an Interde partmental board dis cretionary power to harbor radical and even criminal alleng. Secretary otherwise deportable, Perkin* |n ttiis country. The same bill recently was reported favor ably by the hoase committee. Pending action by congress on the mea3nre, Secretary Perkins has been holding up the deportation of some 2,800 aliens mandatorily deportable un der existing law, contending that they are "hardship cases." Some are radi cals, some hare criminal records, and others entered the country Illegally. By "hardship cases" Secretary Perkins means that they would be separated from family ties or put to some other Inconvenience. Senator Robert R. Reynolds of North Carolina, Democrat, not long ago at tacked the action of Secretary Perkins In holding up the deportations and de nounced the pending bill as a "sham and a mockery" and a subterfuge to shield all kinds of radicals, crlminala, and dependent! unlawfully In thla country. Secretary Perkins refused to pro duce Information respecting the 2J9UO "hardship" cases until Reynolds Intro duced a senste resolution, whereupon she permitted bin to examine the records - ? New Processing Taxes Out of Revenue Bill S~\ NE of the major features of the " new tax program suggested by President Roosevelt Is omitted from the measure prepared by a house sub committee and on which open bearings were begun by the ways and means committee. For political reasons it was decided thst the plan for new processing taxes on farm and compet ing products should be abandoned. Mr. Roosevelt's suggestion for a "windfall" tax to recapture part of the refunded or unpaid AAA processing levies was accepted by the subcommittee. A third suggestion of the President, for graduated taxes on tbe portions of Incomes which corporations do not dis tribute In dividends to stockholders, was changed to provide levies on total Income of corporations varied accord ing to percentages of profits put into reserves. The subcommittee agreed that the corporation tax rates should be so drafted as to permit corporations, par ticularly small ones, to build up re serves for lean years without being compelled to pay comparatively high taxes for tbe privilege of doing so. The subcommittee figured on col lecting some $25,000,000 from taxes on dividends going to foreigners who own stock In American corporations and $83,000,000 from temporary continua tion of the capital stock and excess profits taxes. Half Million Farmers May Get Double Benefits REXFORD G. TUGWELL, head of the rural resettlement administra tion, announced that a special commit tee is considering a plan under which more than nair a mil lion growers of farm products would receive double benefits from the federal govern ment It provides that the rural families now getting loans from Tugwell's administra tion to put them on their feet and keep them oil the relief a r x,,?w.n rolIS may also receive R- G-Tuflw.ll ful] subsidy payments In connection with tbe soli conserva tion program now being put Into op eration. There are now 450,000 recip ients of the Tugwell loans and tbe number Is expected to Increase to 525, 000 by July 1. The soil conservation subsidies are to be paid to farmers who transfer land from commercial crop production to soil conserving growths, or who re sort to other "economic" farm prac tices. Officials said that the rehabilita tion clients already are under obliga tion to treat their soil wisely. Before a family can obtain a rehabilitation loan It must agree to follow a farm management plan drafted by the gov ernment. Tugwell indicated that examination may show that the farm management plan is so closely in accord with the AAA's soil conservation alms that the rehabilitation clients may already be qualified to receive the AAA subsidies. Anti-Chain Store Bill Opposed by Witnesses SEVERAL witnesses who appeared ? before a senate subcommittee de clared that the Roblnson-Patman anti chain store bill, which has administra tion backing, would promote rather than curb monopolies, increase the cost and lower the standard of living, and decrease employment In whole In dustries. Tbe bearing was on tbe Borah-Van Xuys bill, a modification of tbe Robln son-Patman measure, but tbe witnesses particularly attacked tbe latter, which already has been reported favorably. The house Judiciary committee report ed the Dtterback bill, still another modification of the Roblnson-Patman measure, and a bitter fight over tbe proposed legislation la expected. Tbe Roblnson-Patman bill would pro hibit manufacturers from making price discriminations In favor of large quan tity purchasers, through advertising al lowances, service charges, brokerage fees, etc. The Borah-Van Nuys bill would prohibit such allowances only when they were refused to purchasers of goods of "like grade, quality, and quantity." One Fight in A. F. of L. Ended by Compromise ONE of th? big fights within tbe American Federation of Labor has been settled peacefully. It was for control of tbe building trades de partment In tbe past, building proj ects have been beld up by strikes growing out of arguments over which of two unions should do a certain piece of work. Tbe peace pact pro vides for appointment of an Impartial referee to settle auch arguments. Tbe pact also called for J. W. Wit llama of the carpenters to bead the reorganization department, with 11. J. UcDonougb of tbe plasterers as aee retary-treasurer. Each baa been tbe leader of oom of tbe warring factions and each has styled blmaelf as lb* iswful department prcatdett.

BURGESS SAMMY JAY TAKES A HAND SAMMY JAY was babbling over with excitement aa he flew through the Green Forest following Llghtfoot the Deer. He was so excited he wanted to scream, bnt he didn't He kept his tongue still. You see, he didn't want Llghtfoot to know that be was being followed. Under that pointed cap of Simmy Jay's are quick wits. It didn't take him long to discover that the big stranger whom Llghtfoot was seeking was doing his best to keep out of Llgbt foot's way In which Llghtfoot was searching for him. Llghtfoot made so much noise that It was quite easy to know just where be was and so keep out of his way. "That stranger Is nearly as big as Llghtfoot, but It is very plain that he ; doesn't want to fight," thought Sam my. "He must be a coward." Now, the truth Is, the stranger was not a coward. He was ready and will ing to fight If he had to, but If be could avoid fighting be meant to. Tou see, big as he was, he wasn't quite as big as Llghtfoot, and he knew it He had seen Llghtfoot's big footprints and from their size knew that Llghtfoot must be bigger and heavier than he. Then, too, be knew that be really had no right to be there in the Green For , est. That was Llghtfoot's home, and so be was an Intruder. He knew that Llghtfoot would feel this way about It and that this would make him fight all the harder. So the big stranger wanted to avoid a fight If possible. Bat he wanted still more to find that beautiful young vis itor with the dainty feet for whom Llghtfoot had been looking. He want ed to find her. Just as Llghtfoot wanted 1 to find her, and lie hoped that if he should find her he could take her away with him back to the Great Mountain. If be had to he would fight ANNABELLE'S ANSWERS By RAY THOMPSON DEAR ANNABELLE: DO TOO BELIEVE THE MODERN GIRL IS SO MUCH DIFFERENT FROM HER GRANDMA? BABS Dear Babs : NO? SHE STILL LOVES SPINNING WHEELS! Aaaabell*. for ber, bat until be bad to he would keep out of tbe light So he dodged Llgbtfoot and at tbe same time looked for Miss DalntyfooL All this Sammy Jay guessed, and after a while be grew tired of follow ing Llgbtfoot for notblng. "I'll bare to take a hand In this thing myself," muttered Sammy. "At this rate Llgbtfoot neTer will find that big' stranger 1" So Sammy stopped following Llgbt foot and began to search through the Green Forest for the big stranger. It didn't take him very long to find him. He was over near tbe pond of Paddy tbe Bearer. As soon as be saw bim Sammy began to scream at tbe top of his lungs. At once he beard tbe sound of snapping twigs at the top of the little ridge back of Paddy's pond, and knew that Llghtfoot had heard and un derstood. ft T. W. BorseM. ?

Let Not Affection Fade By DOUGLAS MALLOCH A SADDER light the cad heart knows Than petals falling from a rose. Than dying grasses where a plaia No longer feels the kiss of rain. Than shattered beauty when a tree Lies postrate, never more to be: Sach things are even sadder when They happen In the hearts of men. For like a rose whose day Is done. Its petals falling one by one. And like a plain whose withered grass Shall never green again, alas. And like a tree whose branches lie Along the ground, to droop and die. So la the careless fading of That thing of beauty known as love. I-et not that sadness come to yon If there Is anything to do: A more forgiving tenderness To make yon love the more, not less. Any eye for virtue, not for sin. Since mortals all have both within ? Let every rose fall In the glade. But not yonr own affection fade. ? Douglas Malloth.? WNC Sarrlca.
