TOO NEWS News Review Events the World Over Southerners Launch Talmadge'a Presidential Boom Kansas Offers Landon to Republicans Bonus Bill Passed Over Roosevelt's Veto. By EDWARD W. PICKARD C Western Newspaper Union. TWO THOUSAND or more "grass root" Democrats, representing 17 southern and border states though most of them were Georgians assem bled In Macon, Ga., and with wild yells launched the boom of Gov. Eugene Talmadge for the Democratic Presidential nomina tion. They adopted a motion asking him to run as a constitutional Democrat who Is op posing what they called the "theorists, crack- nnta hrntn rrilfitprs snd Gov. Talmadge professors.. of tne New Deal. Talmadge, though highly elated, declined to comment or to make any announcement at the time. The platform adopted by the meet ing called for preservation of the Con stitution, of state sovereignty and of the American form of government. It accused President Roosevelt of aban doning faith In the Constitution and the doctrines of Thomas Jefferson and of "repudiating, abandoning, and side tracking" the platform on which he was elected In 1932. It said: "We do not regard the occupant of the White House as a Democrat. "He has broken the pledge of our party and violated the platform of 1932. "We here today affirm our faith In that doctrine." It Is not easy yet to estimate the possible results of the Talmadge move ment. The administration leaders re fuse to take the Georgia governor seriously or to admit that he can Im peril their control of any of the south ern states. The situation In the South Is fur ther complicated by the sudden death of Gov. O. K. Allen of Louisiana. He was the devoted and complaisant ad herent of Huey Long and had been selected to fill out the unexpired term of the late senator. Lieutenant Gov ernor Noe succeeded to the governor ship, but who will now be the leader of the Long forces was not Immediate ly determined. WHAT Is known as the Bankhead Jones bill for soil conservation, the administration's substitute for the AAA, was given the hesitant approval of the senate agricultural committee by a vote of 15 to 3, although Chair man Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina said he "personally bad some doubts" as to Its constitutionality. The meas ure would enable the secretary of ag riculture to remove 30,000,000 acres from cultivation and give him even wider powers than he had under the AAA. It was evidently headed for a hot debate on the senate floor. Secretary Wallace let It be known that officials of the Agriculture, Treas ury and Justice departments were co operating in an effort to collect for the government the $200,000,000 ordered returned to processors by the Supreme court, but he gave no details of the plan. In referring to this court order in a radio talk, Mr. Wallace went far ther In criticism of the Supreme court than has any other official of the ad ministration. He declared It was "the most gigantic legalized steal In his tory." Representative Allen T. Tread way of Massachusetts asserted on the floor of the house that "any official who will make a statement of that nature about the Supreme court ought to be Impeached." Mr. Wallace may not have heard the last of this. KANSAS Republican state commit tee members, the Kansas Day club and many party leaders from the Mis souri valley region, celebrating Foun ders' day in Topeka, presented to the coun try Got. Alf Landon of Kansas as their choice for the Repub lican Presidential nom ination. In a speech to the banqueters the governor told what' "he hoped to do for the nation if he were nom Inated and elected. Refraining from "sub stituting epithets for Gov. Landon arguments," he offered a program for ending federal extravagance and re storing prosperity. Replying to the query "What would yon dor Mr.- Landon proposed relief for agriculture through a soil censer? vatlon program with the honest pur pose ot saving the fertility of Ameri can farms and not merely that of pro viding a blind for farther ' dispensa tion of AAA checks. . :-v :' . The governor pledged himself to old age pensions. . He recommended exten sion and improvement of civil service, and the utilization 'by the federal gov. eminent of specially trained minds as he hat used them In Kansas "to col lect facts, not to administer theories." His own best recommendation of himself he gave In three succinct par agraphs summarizing: hie budget bal ancing achievement. , V . .: .. ? 1 PATMENT of the veterans' boons by means of baby bonds payable oa de mand was enacted Into law by eon tress, and the money for the ex -sol-diers may fee available oa . July L f 1 'n - RECORDt MARSHALL, N. C. of Current J. The Harrison compromise bonus bill that went through the senate and bouse easily, was vetoed by President Roose velt The house immediately and en thusla8tlcally repassed the measure The senate was a little more deliber ate, but within three days It too, bad overridden the disapproval of the Chief Executive, and the bill was made law. The vote In the senate was 78 to 10 In the bouse It bad been 824 to 61. It was, a notable fact that all the senators 95 In number, for Huey Long's successor has not yet taken hi? seat were present and voting. Notable, but not strange when one remembers this is an election year. Fifty-seven Democrats, 16 Republicans and 8 Rad icals La Toilette of Wisconsin, Ship stead and Benson of Minnesota voted for the bill, while 12 Democrats and 7 Republicans voted against It The galleries were filled and there was wild cheering when the vote was announced. Republican senators amused themselves and the spectators by twit ting the Democrats on their failure to stand by their chief, the most voluble of the twitters being Senator Hastings of Delaware. Informed of the vote. President Roosevelt at once ordered government departments to prepare for payment of the bonus certificates as quickly as accuracy will permit Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau said that the payment would be the most difficult mechanical task the treasury had faced In Its history. He said the treasury would need $2,500,000 and the veter ans' administration $5,000,000 to In crease the force to take care of the Job. More than seven million Interest calculations will be necessary. VirE CAN either take on the man V V tie of hypocrisy, or we can take a walk; and we'll probably do the latter." These words of Al fred E. Smith In hlr speech at the Ameri can Liberty league din ram In Ta7Hlnrrfrin FT 1 were perhaps the most Interesting and signifi cant of his utterances J on that occasion, for he professed to be r I speaking for "the dls Jnrknnn and Cleve- Al Smith ,and and concerBing their action in the Democratic national convention next June when the dele gates are asked to Indorse the doings of the Roosevelt administration. There could be no misunderstanding Smith's meaning, and he must now be con sidered the leader of the conserva tive Democrats In their revolt against the policies of the New Dealers. The concern of the administration Dem ocrats Is now as to bow extensive will be the bolt ; and whether the conserva tives will put up their own ticket, sup port the Republican nominee or mere ly stay away from the polls. Of course In any case the Republican cause will be aided materially, unless the guesses of Its leaders are all wrong. New Deal Democrats were quite un dismayed by the Smith speech, which they declared was weak and Ineffective. They announced that Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson of the senate would deliver the official reply In a radio address. Mr. Smith in his Liberty league speech never once named President Roosevelt but he specifically put or that gentleman the full blame for repu diation of most of the planks In the Democratic platform of 1932, which he declared was the best ever put forth In this country. Senator Robinson's reply to Al Smith's speech consisted In the main of quotations from previous utterances by Smith in which he advocated a course quite as radical as that pursued by the New Dealers In combating the depres sion. He Jeered at the New Yorker for abandoning the streets of the west side for the palaces of Park avenu? and trading his brown derby for a silk topper, and denounced him as a de serter In the face of the enemy. ACTIVITIES of the Townsend old age pension advocates are proving most annoying to many congressmen, and It Is likely they will be Investigated. A resolution for such aa Inquiry was In troduced by Representative Jasper Bell of Missouri, Democrat It charged that for several years "Individuals and groups' have "conceived and promoted numerous schemes under the pretext of obtaining pensions for the aged and needy" and that bow "several groups of fraudulent promoters' are enriching themselves by working the so-called pension plan racket" , ; : IF PLANS announced la 8t Louis by leaders of world 'Jewry are carried out there Is to fee another exodus, this time from Germany where the Jews are greatly oppressed by the Hitler ites, r sir Herbert - Samuel, eminent British Jew, attending the national council of Jewish federations and wel fare funds,' said , a . definite method would be formulated soon to provide for the gradual emigration of at least 100,000 of the German relch's estimat ed 430,000 Jewish population. The on dertaklng will be financed by a fund ot about $15,000,000 raised by EogUah and American Jaws, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 13, 7 NATI0NAL NATIONAL PRESS BLDB. Washington. The American Liberty league has laid aside its swaddling clothes - and has Liberty League put on long pants Steps Out ia Me field of pol it Ice. Although comparatively new as a group and promoted consistently as non partisan, the league can now be said to have plunged headlong into the po litical warfare. If its first big rally can stand as a criterion, Its influence is due to he felt In an important way in the forthcoming national elections. This rally that really marked the league's campaign debut was a pic turesque thing. It was picturesque first because of the time and the place and the very nature of the thing and the manner of approach to the voters of the country but It was more pic turesque and more important as well because the headline speaker was Al fred B. Smith, one time Democratic can didate for the Presidency, and by all odds the most colorful and pungent speaker of the present day. It was a dinner of more than 2,000 persons from every state in the Union and it was held In exactly the same rooms of the Mayflower hotel here where two weeks earlier President Roosevelt had addressed about the same number of persons at the Jackson day $50-a-plate dinner. As a further note of Interest, attention might be called to the fact that the meeting was presided over by Borden Burr, a lifelong Alabama Dem ocrat, and the other speakers were Dr. Neal Carothers, a Southern Democrat, long head of the economics depart ment of Lehigh university In Pennsyl vania, and former Federal Judge Charles L Dawson of Louisville, Ky., a Republican. I referred above to Mr. Smith as be ing a colorful speaker, and from all of the comments I have heard, It seems to be the consensus that never has he Justified the description better than In his league speech. He was Introduced by Mr. Burr as "Al Smith of Amer ica," and proceeded to assure his audi ence that Included millions listening by radio that he placed patriotism above party, that he was a candidate for no office under the sun, that he had no ax to, grind and that such critical shots as he might take were without personal animosity for any one. But he did not pull his punches when he pilloried the New Deal and he showed no mercy when he drew the deadly parallel between the Demo cratic platform of 1932 and the policies which Mr. Roosevelt had carried through. I believe it may be said that he reached the peak of his speech when he laid on the speaker's stand copies of the Democratic platform of 3932 and the Socialist platform of the same year and in his best East side twang he challenged anyone to deny that Mr. Roosevelt had been elected od a Democratic ticket and had car ried out the Socialist promises. The President's "breathing spell" ut tArnnre his mesRtfze to congress on the state of the Union, his staff of ad visers, his monetary policies formed other meaty subjects which the former eovernor of New York picked to pieces In his own Inimitable way. He begged congress to assert Itself again and quoted from the Bible In his plea It should return to the father's house and be again one of the three branches of the federal government He said it took courage for a lifelong Democrat to say the things he was saying, but there is no gainsaying he' displayed what it took. Through the speech was Mr. Smith's chosen theme that a great danger lies ahead, a danger that the New Deal will destroy everything which he held had made America the outstanding na tion that It is. He accused the Presi dent of havins arrayed class against class and asserted that what the na tion faces is the most gigantic tax bur den ever known. To this he added that It will not be the rich who will pay, nor the poor, but "that vast army of individuals with incomes irom a hundred dollars a month to live thou sand dollars a year." Finally, in conclusion, Mr. Smith aid: "Let me sive this solemn warning: Ihere can be only one capital, Wash ington or Moscow. ; '; "There can be only one atmosphere of government the clear, pure fresh air of free America, or the foul breath of communistic' Russia. There can be only one flag, the Star and Stripes, or the flag of the godless anion of the Soviets. There can be only one na tional anthem. The Star-Spangled Banner or "The , Internationale,' there caa be only one victor. If our Constitution wins, we" win. ' But if the Constitution atop, stop there the Constitution cannot lose." ' But what ot the significance of the league dinner and. the 8mlth speech f - J Prior to the dln ;.. The Smith aer, .the league's ex V Walkout catlve council met - In secret Whether tt committed the league to a definite Stand was not formally announced, yet nrelv there are rtounds upon which to base a statement that' It means to support candidate and platforms on thai conservative aide. ' : " ' With equal emphasis, tt can be said 1938 TOPICS INTEHPflETED WASHINGTON. D.C. that Mr. Smith has walked out on that section of the Democratic party that sticks by Mr. Roosevelt He eald It was a choice either to "put oa the mantle of hypocrisy or we can take a walk." He explained it probably would be the latter course. And frankly it seems with the personal following that he has, a walkout by Mr. Smith cannot be described as oth erwise than serious to the party from which that group is defected. It has all of the earmarks of an Interesting political situation. Immediately after Mr. Smith had spoken, quite a few Democrats in con gress fired back at him and In defense of the New Deal Men like Represent ative Doughton of North Carolina, a Democratic wheelhorse as chairman of the powerful ways and means com mittee; Speaker Byrnes, and a flock of others. They Insisted generally that the Smith barrage was more helpful to the Democrats than campaign speeches they themselves could make. Administration leaders in the execu tive departments are beginning to fire also, but they are smart enough to let the enthusiasm aroused by the speech die down before they attempt to upset arguments advanced by Mr. Smith. I have no doubt from the signs even now cropping up, that an effort will be made in congress to discredit the league. It looks like Senator Black, Alabama Democrat and chairman of the senate lobby committee, probably will dig into the league's files to show how It was financed to a large extent by such wealthy men as the Duponts, among others. Such an investigation likewise will carry an undercurrent of a movement to do away with political Influence of such men as John J. Raskob, former Democratic national chairman, a league director, and Jouett Shouse, former executive chairman of the Democratic national committee and the league president If that fight gets started It will be a mudsllnglng beauty. So, summarized, the picture result ing from the league's dinner Is that of a major feud, as well as a major polit ical movement because there la a real ly bitter fight between personalities In sight as well as the possibilities of a third party movement In the situation as it now stands, however, the Republican party holds the key. Smith and his following and the league membership generally can be counted in definite opposition to the New Deal and most all of Its works only on condition that a candi date and a platform, viewed by them as sound, are put forward by the Re publicans. If the Republicans turn too far to the radical side in their efforts to match the Democratic position (which necessarily must be In support of everything the President has done), then, there is likely to be a third par ty, which would make predictions of the outcome worthless. Cnncrresa freauently goes off on a tangent In which It will set about ex posing this or tnat Digging or the other among Up Secrete tte Practices of prl vate business. In the last several years It has been particu larly active in exposing to public view secrets of corporations and Individual representatives and senators have blown off much steam concerning sal aries naid business executives and they have directed criticism at private busi ness as well for some of its otner ex penditures. A few years ago Senator jNorns oi Nebraska, among others, spoke at great length In criticism of our goy- ornment'a dlDlomatic service because of the salaries paid and the expendi tures allowed for operation oi our ior- elgn diplomatic offices. The Norrls at annarentlv did considerable dam age to the diplomatic; service because It made many capable men iearrui ot entering ; that X. fleld' where highly trained men are necessary. ' ' '' Bnt all of the time during '.which criticisms have been leveled at -private business on account or saianes- para business executives and because of other expenses, the senate Itself has been going ahead from year to year using taxpayers money tflMSuIt Its own purposes, . For instance, uot rwiwin ju Halsey,-secretary of the senate, lately han mad nnblic his annual report cov ering senate operations and It-shows that the taxpayers- money, to tne, ex tent of $3,296,852 had been spent for maintenance of that one branch of congress.
