' The President In his message condemned the measure severely as against the Interests of the whole people, and asserted that It would frustrute the tafc relief thut the coun try desires. As for the immigration bill, with Its Japanese exclusion provision, the in tention of the President Is not known at this writing. The leaders of bjth parties In the house were called to the White House for a conference In the hope that postponement of the ex clusion might be arranged, although congress had rejected that arrange ment. ? Karm relief legislation Is causing the Republicans .considerable worry, for they fepr that If some bill to help the farmers Is not passed at this session the Northwest will _ be lost to them next November. The McNnry-Hnugen hill is the first on the list, but It Is opposed by many members of both parties aqd. by some members of the cabinet, though Secretary -of Agricul ture Wallace favors It. Tills measure provides for creation of a $200,000,000 export corporation and for elaborate machinery under which the domestic price of grain and other products of the fang would be raised artificially and maintained at a higher level thnn If the domestlt price were dependent on world price for the exportable ?ur* plus. Senator Wheeler of Montana, under Indictment on -the charge of having ac 1 cepted,*inney to appear before a gov ernment department, was "wholly ex $>herat$d" of the accusation by the senate committee appointed to Investi gate the ease. The committee's report says Wheeler did not agree to appear before any government official In be half of Golden Camtffcell, did not do so. and did not get paid for doing so. Senator Spencer alone dissented, bringing In a minority report finding that the Department of Justice was Justified In having Mr. Wheeler Indict ed. .In this connection It should be recorded that Attorney General Stone has abondoned the governmental spy system and announced that In the fu ture the work of the bureau of Investi gation will be strictly In the line of aiding the lnwyers o'* the department In preparing their cases. All the "dol lar-a-year mten", among whom were many notables, have been "fired. . . * Congressman John W. I.angley of Kentucky, tried in Covington . on a charge 6f conspiracy in connection with liquor withdrawals, was found guilty, denied a new trial and sen tenced to two years In prison. He an nounced that he would take an appeal and that he would not resign his 'seat In the house. Two of Lnngley's co-de fendants pleaded guilty and a third was convicted, and all received the same sentence. Judges Wllkerson and Carpenter of the Federal court In Chicago last Thursday ruled that President Cool ldge's pardon of Philip Grossman of Chicago was void,. and ordered United States Marshal Levy to seize Grossman at once and put him In the house of correction. This was a simple liquor selling case at first, and Grossman was sentenced to a year In the bridewell by Judge Landta for contempt of court. | Politicians went to his aid and C. W. I MlddleVnuf. the government prosecu I tor, recommended a pardon. The whole case received an airing before the sen ate committee Investigating Hurry Dougherty. Judges Wllkerson nnd Carpenter held that the President has no power to pardon In contempt cases, declaring: "Such extension of the ex | ecutlve power would deal a death blow to the power of the Judlclnry, and J would make the executive branch the j ultimate source of Justice." Senator Underwood's supporters for | the Democratic presidential nomination are planning to carry the fight on the ( Ku Klux Klnn to the floor of the na- ! tlonal convention. Governor Brandon , of Alabama, who Is to make the speech | putting Cnderwood before the conven- j tion. will Introduce the subject. and?lf [ the resolutions committee does not adopt a satisfactory plank the Under- 1 wood men will present a minority re- , port calling for a reaffirmation of the Democratic plank of 1856- This read : "That the foundation of thl? Lnlon of states having been laid In. and 1U I I I prosperity, expansion nnd pre-eminent example In free government built upon, entlnfe freedom In matters of religious concernment, and no respect of per sons In regard to rank or place of birth, no pnrty can Justly he deemed national, constitutional, or in accord ance with American principles which bases Its exclusive organization upon religious opinions and accidental blrth | place." Democrats who do not wtsh to an tagonize the Klan In such strongholds as Indiana uor to lose the strength that. such men as A1 Smith might give their ticket hnve thought up a new combination. This Is to . nominate Ralston for the presidency; to per suade Senator Copeland- of New York to resign and take second place on the tlcketv and then to run Governor Smith for the senate. George Brennan of Illinois, chief of the antl-McAdoo leaders, has chal lenged McAdoo to consent to the abro gation of {he time-honored two-thirds rule, and I^IcAdoo's manager has re plied that if Brennan ? will make the proposal in Ihe convention the Califor nlan will pot oppose It.. So It may be the next Democratic nominee will be selected by a mere majority vote of the convention. Major Martin and his mechanic. Ser geant Harvey, of the world circling squadron of avlatoVs, are safe and on their \jvay to the Unite;]. States. Early In the week word was received from Martin that they were at Port Moller on the Alaska peninsula, having reached that place after a week's wan dering across the spow. Their plan* crashed against a mountain In the fog soon aftep they left Chlgnlk .and was totally wrecked. The other three planes have continued on the trip and Major Martin, still nominally In command of the expedition, will rejoin them proba bly In Europe for the completion of; the flight. Lieutenant D'OIsy, the French avia tor who Is flying around the world from west to east, has reached Indo china, and Stuart MacLaren, the Eng lishman, is in India. Foreign Minister Tchltcherln of Rua slii and Zfnovleff, president oi the third Internationale, should "get to gether." The former has declared re peatedly that the Russian govern ment Is refraining from propaganda In other counties, but the latter, In a statement of what the Communists have accomplished In the past year, makes these claims: Russian money and propaganda and leadership are entirely responsible for the great Communist gains In Germany, where the Communist vote was in creased sevenfold at the recent elec tion. He soys this Is Moscow's big gest victory In years. The soviets paved the way for a la bor government In England. "Prime Minister MacDonald Is a pure oppor tunist," adds M. Zinovleff, but labor maintains its step towards communism In England. The Communist party claims vast gains In India and China, and Is now one of the big parties In Japan, "thanks to the soviet government." The nnval oil commission named by the President has condemned the prac tice of exchanging oil for tank con struction, as provided In the leases which Secretaries Denhy and Fall made to Doheny and Sinclair. The commission says : "The oil that now remains under governmental control, or that can lie brought under such con trol, must bo treasured not for Its mnr. ket value, especially In these days of low prices, but for Its emergency value nt some future dute. "Considerable funds will be needed to provide adequate tankage, consid erable more to purehose oil to fill those tanks, and still more funds to test and develop possible additional reserves. Without money the existing reserves can neither be adequately protected nor fully utilized. "Whatever may be the outcome of litigation now pending. In the prosecu tion of which government agencies are co-operating, the commission bases lt( Immediate recommendations for ad ministrative action upon the broad principle of preserving for the navy as much as possible of the navy's oil re serve until the navy's need Is roost urgent."
