AGAIN. In the few days that have elapsed since Mr. ROOSEVELT SCORES Roosevelt broadcast his appeal to the employers, large and small, of the entire country, to voluntarily increase rates of wages paid and shorten hours of labor, thus increasing individual income and putting more workers back on the payrolls, it is clearly evident that he has again scored a great success. In less than two days from the delivery of his appeal over a national radio hook-up, more than 12,000 telegraphic responses had been received at the White House pledging their signers to accept the voluntary codes proposed by the Administration as the next forward movement in its drive toward recovery. Never in history, said White House officials, has there been such a deluge of telegrams pouring in to the President.. This, no doubt, was oOne of the factors that led Gen. Johnson, Administrator of the National Recovery Act, to predict the re- employment of between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 work- ers in the nation’s industries by Labor Day. The Administrator is not inclined to be unduly optimistic on such subjects, rather leaning to the conservative side. “Nothing will ever hamper the President's program, for the power of this people, once aroused and united, is the most irresistible force in the world,” asserted Gen. Johnson. As in the bank holiday, it was the President's direct appeal to the people that aroused and united that force. Again has Mr. Roosevelt regist- ered a great blow at unemployment, and, in so doing, demomstrated once more the aggressive qual- ity and greatness of his leadership. NEXT MR. ROCKEFELLER. Not for twenty years has such a parade of money masters passed in review before Congressional committees as during the last two sessions of Con- gress. The list of witnesses reads like a directory of multi-millionaires. The procession is not yet over, however. Next comes the man who is reputed to be the richest in the world—John D. Rockefeller, Jr. He is to be called as a witness in the investigatjon of the Na- tional Parks Service instigated by Senators Kendrick and Carey. ‘The Wyoming Senators are involved in a con- troversy with the parks bureau over the acquisition of 30,000 acres of land in the Jackson Hole country in Wyoming, by Rockefeller, which he has offered to turn over to the Government as a wild game preserve. The purchase of the vast area, costing a million or so, was inspired by the parks depart- ment, say the Wyoming Senators, who are objecting to taking any more land in that vicinity from the State tax rolls. The investigation begins July 31, at Jackson Hole and will continue this fall in Washington when Rockefeller will be heard. Strangely, the investigating subcommittee of the Senate Public Lands Committee is in command of Republicans. Gerald Nye, Republican of North Dakota, is Chairman. It is the only such committee | in Congress that has not been taken over by the Democrats. ] LA LS e, S THE “FORGOTTEN MAN” WAKES UP. United States Senator Simeon D. Fess, labeled by some of the political scribes last Summer as the “forgoten man,” awakened the other day long enough to announce that he will be a candidate in 1934 to succeed himself. He is now serving his second term from Ohio. Picked in 1928 as Chairman of the Republican National Committee to conduct the first Hoover campaign, the Ohioan served in that capacity until the Chicago convention last June when Everett Saunders succeeded him. After that his “breaks into print” and in them were few and far between. The Springfield, Ohio, News, on July 10, carried the Senator'’s announcement that he would seek re-election. His reasons are worth perusal. He was quoted as follows: Two factors influence my decision to run for a third term. In the first place I never have submitted to threats in voting on any piece of legislation and I do not propose now to let threats of veterans regarding bonus legislation and my stand on the ques- tion influence my action. In the second place, I believe that the Eighteenth Amendment is going to be re- | Presidency. tion, to take a part in the enactment of these laws,"and I therefore intend to enter the race for relection in order that I can most ; effectively do what I conceive to be my duty. Senator Fess was one of those who supported President Roosevelt’s courageous stand against the veterans’ lobby for uncut pensions. He deserves coni- mendation for that stand which undoubtedly will hurt his chances for re-election next year. As a Dry, he never has falled to defend Pro- hibition against its challengers. That, too, is not calculated to promote his candidacy next year. As he admits, the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment is inevitable. His reasoning that it will require seasoned and stalwart Prohibitionists in Congress to prevent the return of the saloon is not easy to follow. The place to prevent the return of the saloon is not so much in the National law-making body as in the State Legislatures. With the out- right repeal of Prohibition, the power to regulate the manufacture and sale of liquor will be returned to the States where it originally reposed and from where it ought never to have been removed. It rests with Congress to pass legislation necessary to see that the channels of interstate commerce shall not be used to effect the violation of the laws of the individual States—that Dry States shall be given all the protection from liquor traffic from Wet States that the power of the Federal Govern- ment can bestow. It does not necessarily require the presence of even such a defender of National Prohibition as Senator Fess to assure this. The most pronounced Wet will agree with the most arid Dry that this should be done and aid in passing the laws needed to bring it about. With twenty straight States having slipped into the repeal column, it looks as if Prohibition has slipped on a banana peel. Al' Jolson seems to have stolen' the show at the Hollywood Bowl the other night when he con- nected with Columnist Winchell's jaw with a right. Palo Alto Meeting. (New York Times.) Late this month, according to the dispatches, Senator Reed will visit the titular leader of his party, Mr. Hoover, to discuss the present state and future policies of the Republicans. It should be an interesting meeting. Certainly there is much to talk about. By the custom of American politics, Mr. Hoover will remain chief of the Republicans until another than himself is nominated for the That takes the situation beyond 1934, when Mr. Reed is to be a candidate to succeed himself in Pennsylvania. That State is ideal ground for n “model” Re- publican campaign, giving the keynote to the regular party nominees for Congress in other States and laying groundwork for the Presidential contest of 1936. Pennsylvania is industrial, and industries suffered severely during the Hoover Administration; also, industries are the Roosevelt Administration’s partners under the Wagner act. Pennsylvania is agricultural, and the Farm Relief Act was drawn in part for Pennsylvanians. How Pennsylvania is reacting to the paternalism of the New Deal is something Mr. Reed can tell Mr. Hoover. If it works, and the Keystone State is lost to the Re- publicans, everything is lost. No one has been more pessimistic about the Roosevelt policies than Mr. Reed, and it may be that he will take to Palo Alto tidings that thousands of Pennsylvanians are now rallying to his position. The first meeting, however, should be but the precursor of others. Not much more can be done by the distinguished conferees than to plan a series of tests of the New Deal. They will have later to assay the results of those tests, and then it will be clearer what line of party attack had best be followed in Pennsylvania and in other States where Republicans are still willing to follow Mr. Hoover's leadership. Meanwhile, Mr. Reed can dis- cuss another political equation. In the last hours of Congress, according to many Republicans, it was he who inspired all his Senate party colleagues, including the Progressives, to oppose the Admin- istration on the veterans' allowance compromise. Had their vote prevailed, the economy program of the President and Budget Director Douglas would have been shattered. What will Mr. Hoover, who opposed the bonus and thought the old pension system an outrage, have to say to Mr. Reed about that? _ Cumulative Evidence. (Dally Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) In the earlier stages, business improvement shows itself in’ rather isolated bits of information, It is not until the movement is well under way _that general statistics reflect tangible improvement, which, by that time, will have made itself felt in the plans and policies of a great many com- panies. The isolated signs of recovery, however, when taken -in bulk, indicate most encouragingly the progressive nature of the current trend. With a rise in the price of agricultural and mineral products, increased carloadings, & more than seasonal im- provement in employment and an increase in both the volume and unit value of exports, the evidence seems to show that the tide of business has turned and that its flow will quickly spread to those parched areas which have not yet felt the im- provement. Newsprint production has increased by nearly 40 per cent; the automobile production has almost tripled; construction contracts have doubled and car loadings have greatly increased. A large part of this improvement is seasonal, but it is the fact that the improvement shown is greater than sea- sonal, which tends to substantiate the new optimism which is general among farmers of the West, who are receiving a better price for their wheat, in the mining industry, which is rapidly increasing its output, and in the manufacturing - lines, where orders are being received in better volume than for the past two years. Rising level of commodity prices has been ac- companied by an increase in the volume of whole- sale and retail trade, and reports from all sections of the country show a better consumer demand for all types of merchandise. Taken all in all, the cumulative evidence makes out a strong case for the heralds of recovery. pealed and that Ohio will vote for repeal. Everybody knows my unalterable stand against the liquor traffic, and it has been said T could not be reelected because of this stand. I do not agree with this conclusion. ‘Whether or not the Eighteenth Amend- ment is repealed I intend to continue just as vigorous a fight as I have in the past against the saloon. If- the liquor amend- ment is repealed there will have to be rigid laws regulations passed governing of liquor and to prevent the saloon. .

Government is an institition that borrows money of the taxpayers to make Joans the taxpayers must repay.—(Toledo Blade,) Today and Tomorrow The failure of the London con- fcrence has created the impression that the world has become too na- tionalist to make international agreements. The conclusion can easily be pressed so far as to be quite misleading. Fof, as we be- gin to see the events of the past cw weeks in perspective and to appreciate their significance, we shall find, I think, that to as- cribe the immediate outcome London to “economic nationalism” is much too simple a diagnosis. * owe It must beassumedl, of course, that nations will make interna- tional agresments only when they see in them a mnational benefit. The kind of internationalism which re- quires one people to make sacrific- es solely for the benefit of another. has never been practiced by any government, exce{i, perhaps, inci- dentally and in relatively small matters. TInternationalism, to be possible in the world we live in, must necessarily be an exchange or a pooling of advantages in which all the parties believe they will profit either immediately or, when they are wise, in the long run. Remember this, have we any reason to assume that because the principal nations could not make agreements in June, 1933, that they are never again going to find ad- vantages in making them? The elemental conflicts which developed at London showed clearly, it seéms to me, that the conference got no- where primarily because it was called together at the worst pos- sible moment imaginable, The three chief parties were the British, the French, and ourselves. When they met in London what was their position at home? We were and are in the midst of a gi- | gantic financial and economic movement which is only partially completed, and just what the state of affairs will be when it is com- pleted, one one in the world knows. No one knows what will be the level of our prices and wages, of our agricultural and industrial costs, and therefore no one can at the moment estimate the meaning | of a tariff arrangement or of a| monetary plan. We could not ne- gotiate internationally because our affairs were moving so rapidly that we did not dare to define out na- tional purposes. ‘The position of France and the Continental gold countries was in- herently no less unstable.

With such a crisis impending, France and the nations which follow her found themselves no more ready than we \Wwere to define a long term inter- national policy. /The position of Great Britain re- flected all the 'uncertainties and conflicts of all- the various schools of thought. As between the City of Losdon and industrial Britain, as tween British manufactufing in- terests and the raw material pro- ducers of Canada and the other do- minions, there was and is as sharp a divergence of view as between, let us say, Secretary Hull and Sen- ator Couzens. The net result was a deadlock in British policy which imeans in practice that the British government dars not commit itself | to any positive policy. e The moral to be drawn, it seems to me, is that the moment for in- ternational agreements will not and cannot come until the evolu- tion of domestic affairs in thesc three countries has run its course. ‘When it has, as of course, it must, international monetary and trading |arrangements will be possible and will again seem necessary. Until the evolution is completed any in- ternational proposal must fail be- cause no one of the parties really knows where he 1s and what he wants. To recognize all this is a very | different matter from concluding that nations will never desire an ‘mternatlona! monetary system and |a development of international | trade. It is no doubt true that in all countries there is a strong | tendency to seek economic and so- |cial security through measures of national sufficiency. But no mat- ter how far this tendency is car- ried, it cannot be carried to a paint where international relations \are abolished. There will be buying |and selling across the frontiers, |and so the most nationalist states will be making international bar- gains. That they were not able to strike bargains in June, 1933, is no proof | whatever that they will not wish and need to strike them in the {refatively mear future.
