FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1935 News Review of Current Events the World Over Supreme Court Kills NRA and Farm Mortgage Mora* torium Act—New Dealers, Congress and Business Uncertain About Future Action. By EDWARD W.

By the ruling the exercise of con gressional powers over commerce ws definitely restricted to Interstate con merce, or to such activities as have provable direct connection with inter state commerce. The court held that no economic emergency could Justify the breaking down of the limitations upon federal authority as prescribed by the Constitution or of those powers reserved to the state through the fail ure of the Constitution to place them ury department in the collection of tares. Ofiiclals of the federal alcohol control administration said that the Supreme 'court’s 'NRA ruling took away from the FACA every lota of control it had over the distilling busi- Cbief Justice Hughes Next In Importance was the decision read by Justice Brandels, holding un constitutional the Prazier-Lemke farm mortgage moratorium act. This law provided for a five year moratorium In the case of collapse of efforts to scale down a farmer’s debts to a figure that would enable him to pay off his mort gage. The court held that under the Fifth amendment to the Constitution private property could not be taken without just compensation. There bas been no previous Instance, the court said, where a mortgage was forced to relinquish property to a mortgagor free of Hen unless the debt was paid in full. In the third decision President Roosevelt’s dismissal. of the late Wil liam B. aumphre'^fcjira federal A CTING with surprising suddenness, •^the senate passed the Copeland- Tugwell food, drug and cosmetic bill, which had been modified to meet the objections of Senators Clark, Bailey and Vnndenberg. Dr. Copeland said he believed it would get through the house without difficulty. President Roosevelt favors the measure. The bill greatly Increases the scope of the 1906 food and drug act.

It was designed originally to permit the secretary of agriculture to order wholesale seizures, which would per mit the destruction of a business. If he deemed the articles In question adulterated. As amended, however, only a single article may be seized pending a court hearing. Exceptions may be made If there Is "Imminent danger" to public health. Originally, also, the bill provided se vere penalties for publishers and radio broadcasting companies, as well ss ad vertisers, for violations of regu'iations to be laid down by the Department of Agriculture. This was changed so that no publisher, radio broadcasting com pany, advertising agency, or other me dium for the dissemloatlOD of adver tising may be deemed to have violated the "false advertising’’ provisions un less they refuse to furnish the name and address of the advertiser. the President did not remove F rank C. walker’s present Job as bead of the division of allot ments and infoi^niAtlOD in connection with the ^rk-rel^'prqssam Is not so cpe'cted, and proba- Mr. Humphrey for the grounds of iuefflclency. neglect of duty or malfeasance In offloe, but, as the President stated, because their minds' did not meet upon the policies or administration of the commission. The court held that trade commission ers’ terms are fixed by law. '^HERE was consternation and com L fusion among the administration forces in Washington, and no muw say immediately Just how much t^he New Deal had been damaged or what could be done to repair the damage to Its structure. Donald Richberg. chair man of the national industrial recov ery board, after a White House con ference, issued a statement saying that "all methods of compulsory enforce ment of the codes will be Immediately ^'^Tlm'question of the constitutionality of the Wagner labor disputes bill, passed by the senate, was raised by the NRA decision. The opinion was widely expressed that collective bar gaining now cannot be enforced in any business enterprise by federal statute. In the senate demands were voiced to recommit to the committee on agri culture the amendments strengthening the AAA. Senator W. E. Borah said that the NRA decision clearly, raises the question of the validity of much AAA procedure. by the end of the ^ear or earlier he will he ablo to delegate bis duties to others. Then, according to current rurujors, he will enter the President's cabinet as postmaster general, to succeed Jim Farley. Mr. Farley has defi nitely decided to re- Frank c. jjj,g from the cabinet Walker —voluntarily, It Is said —so that he can devote all his time and energy to directing the campaign of Mr, Roosevelt tor renomlnation and re-election. He expects, to remain not only as chairman of the national Dem ocratic commItUe but also as chair man of the New York state committee. In order that hf may have an income he plans to mme a business connec tion with an imiortant organization. There has beei a lot of talk about Mr. Farley’s alleged ambition to be gov ernor of New ^rk. Melvin C. Baton, Republican stab chairman, dares him to run for that psltion. v-' V B usiness was as confused as con gress arid the administration after the killing of NRA. Heads of many large employing corporations Intimat ed they would not make wage reduc tions or lengthen the work hours Just because the way was open for such ac tion, but always there was the qual ifying statement, "U depends on what our competitors do," The big concerns would prefer to nsalntaln the code hours and wages, but the smaller mer chants and manufacturers, who were hardest hit by the code requirements, might dgpart from them enough to de moralize prices. Among the dozens of national trade associations whose officers urged mem bers to maintain wages and otherwise to continue- the status quo are those of the automobile manufacturers, auto mobile dealers, chemical Industry, re tail dry goods dealers, cotton manufac turers. cement makers, oil Industry, wholesale grocers, and grocery chain store distributors. Harper Sibley, recently elected presi dent of the Chamber of Commerce of the United Stales, called upon, Ameri can Industry and business men to pre serve for the pre-sent wages and work hours established under the NBA, Instead of cutting wages Standard Oil company of New Jersey and the Tide Water Oil company announced an increase of 6 per cent In salaries and wages, effective June 1.

' The navy’s largest subma rines were with the battleships and cruisers, and there were 700 marines on the target ship Utah. Navy Memorial day In Japan, the thirtieth anniversary of Admiral Togo’s destruction of the Russian fleet, brought forth a pamphlet from the navy’s propaganda bureau which made significant allusions to the United States. It said: "Then Russia was the rival and the danger. Today that is changed. We have had to face In another direction. We are confronting another great sea power which is Increasing Us navy with Japan as the target. "We need a navy sufficient to pro tect our sea routes to the continent of Asia and to face the menace in the direction of the great ocean. That is why Japan demands parity with the greatest navies. If Japan’s Just and reasonable demands are rejected by the powers, causing failure of the ef forts to reach a new naval agreement and leading to a naval construction race, the responsibility will not be ours. In such' case the only thing for Japan to do Is to resort to resolute measures for self-protection.” T t/p cojinctJ ended its session In Geneva with the hope that it had arranged ma'fers so that war between Italy and 9 Ethiopia would be averted, the prospects for such a settlement are not bright Under pressure from Great Britain and Prance, Mussolini consented to recognize the league’s Jurisdiction over the quarrel and agreed to arbitration.

If you're looking less for rqmanoe and more for secupera- tion, such as you niigtit find in the liiitlis at Baden-Baden,' why there are Hot'Springs In A.-kunsas, French Lick in Indiana, Waukesha in Wisconsin and numerous other spas that rank with Europe's finest; yon can find the romance there, too, If you want It. Or perhaps it's the weather you’re worrying about. Sweltering In a stuffy office or shop, or toiling In the fields with the torrid summer sun beating down, more than often gives Inspiration to fanciful revels In fields of snow, skiing down a mountain side or watching your breath dart forth In little puffs of steam as you sigh re lief In getting away from tlie heat of July and August.

Just suppose now tiiat you are sitting there dreaming about far-off Spain, famed for Its sunny skies, brilli.ant after noons, gay, starlit evenings and white towers glistening under merry red roofs. It’s not so far off as you might Im agine. Like a metropolis of Old Spain itself Is the southern California city wliere millions will probably visit on their vacations this summer. It is San Diego, home of America’s 1935 ex position. Here, on the hay discovered by Cabrillo In 1542 is a setting that today resembles the explorer’s native land; here are the azure skies, the white buildings and the red roofs. It Is Spain of the renaissance, yet the travel comforts are those of modern United States. Much of southern California is like this. The bountiful country, spotted profusely with orange groves and sloping vineyards, guarded by snow capped mountain peaks, is sprinkled with old Spanish missions, lovely In architecture and rich In tradition, often built 300 years or more ago. The climate concedes nothing to the Mediterranean summer. 'Yet eleven da.vs or more of two-weeks’ vacation may he spent in this hapiiy land, no matter wliere ymi live in Ameri.a.

By the same token it Is also true that Amer ica iias tradition and liistorlcal educa tion possibilities that are certainly in- dividiial. The American tourist has too often overlooked the lore of old- time battlefields and spots consecrat ed by the blood of his anci.'stors right here at hoiiie.

Washington, D. C., if It Is not thaUalready, Is certainly destined to become that. It Is con- ^dered the most Important capital lu Jhe world, and it is surely the busiest at the preseoMlme.

Besides, to occupy your time when Oie Is still in the sky you will fifad matchless beaches, race tracks, major league baseball parks, endless boule vard drives and, especiall/ In OUlcago,. park areas that are the envy of all oth- cities. Broadway and Michigan avenue are more than match for Montmartre and the Rue 'iris, Tii'ese t.'*!*’ig3 that'we itave ^loeh talk ing about are for the larger part vaca tion attractions In America' that are comparable with those In Europe. But the United States has more and more to which Europe can never pretend. Most important of these are the na tional parks, which were host to near ly 4,000,000 persons last year and will probably be visited by an even greater number during tlie toarlst season of 1935. America has Its own “Mediterranean" coast, you know. The palms and beaches along the Gulf of Mexico are visited by throngs In the summer as well as in the winter. Florida’s climate ami vacation attractions might be com- pared'to those of southern Italy. New Orleans is a piece of Old France, even to the dress and habits of many of Its people. Great Scenic Parks. Outstanding of all these nation.al parks Is tlie Grand canyon of the Col- ,)raclo river. There Is nothing like it aaywliere else on this earth, at least. This fearful panorama of nature at its wiidest, most awesome and at the same time roost beautiful is a sight to remember for the rest of your life. Some of the other national parks have sights to see that are nearly as grand, but in a different way. There Sequoia, in California, with the old est living tilings In the world, the gia-nt trees, whole forests of them, which tower above as high as the sky scrapers of our metropolises. Yel lowstone is the oldest of our national parks and one of the roost popular, with its Old Faithful Geyser and its other natural wonders. The Yosemite with the greatest waterfall in the world draws its share of the summer thousands. Other national parka, some of which may be included In your summer tour, are Lafayette, In Maine; Glacier, In Montana; Rocky mountain, in Colo rado; Rainier, in Washington; Crater lake, in Oregon; Lassen volcano, In California; General Grant, in the glorious Sierra Nevada range of Cali fornia; Mesa Verde, In Colorado; Platt and Hot Springs, in Arkansas; Sully’s hill, In North Dakota, and Wind Cave, In South Dakota, Our national parks contain good ho tels, wiiere fine meals are served and where prices are adjustable to almost any pocketbook. They get us out of doors Id summer, wlien we need a re lief from the year’s work, and let iis follow their delightful trails throURh gigantic laboratories of nature. They give 'us a true picture of what our fore bears had to conquer when they first explored this land and bulit upon It the nation which we like to think Is a good deal better In which to live than any other on earth. There la little that the European va cation can offer us that we cannot duplicate liere in our own country. And the difference in expense, it is needless to say, is tremendous. Rail roads, especially the western railroads, as well as other travel media, have pre pared tour programs this year which most of us can afford, and have re duced regular rates for the summei months. It’s easier than ever tliU year to “see America first.” CHILDREN HURT IN OHIO STRIKE RIOT Bullets and Tear Gas Bombs Are Used in Canton. Canton, Ohio.—Twenty persons, In- dtiding -fifteen school children, were injured "^n a strike riot at the Berger Manufacturing company here. Two of the victims were seriously injured by gunshot wounds. The school children, passing tlie factory when the violence started, were suffering mostly from effects of tear gas bombs tlirojvn to queil the riot. Bystanders said the violence was started when nil armored car loaded with workers and guards was driven out of the plant yard and stopped about 500 yards from the company land. Occupants of the armored car fired several shots into a crowd standing outside the pjant, wliere a strike has been in progress. The children, on their way home from school, were caught In the cen ter of the riot. When the firing was started they were taken into a restau rant, and a moment later a large plate glass window there crashed as a bul let pierced It. The proprietor then removed the children to the restaurant kitchen, while bullets continued to shatter dishes • (vindows around them. Fumes l. tear gas bombs forced them to move again, and they went to the basement, where they remained until the violence subsided.
