THE EVENING STAR, WASHI D. C, TUESDAY JUNE. 11, 1929, PRESIDENT AT COMMERCE CEREMONY DR FEGAN SPEAKS TOG. U GRADUATES . Calls Upon Them to Be Worthy of Those Who Have Gone Before. Calling upon the graduates of George- town University to be worthy of the men who have gone before them from its academic halls, Dr. Hugh J. Fegan, assistant dean of the Georgetown School of Law, in his address at the one hun- dred and thirtieth annual commence- ment veraerémwasfternoon declared that conegs Dl — . Meing entrusted with landership sipw a- uever before. *The Wealhs 0f our country was never GTESTEY, SNA we are at peace with the world,” D, ¥wgan said. “In the leader- ship which pavduced this prosperity and influence college men may claim a large share. “For the past 60 years the Presidents of the United States have been college men, and in the Seventieth Congress, which adjourned on March 4, college men made up three-fourths of the mem- bership both of the Senate and House. “We do not think of these facts in any snobbish or unworthy spirit,” he added. “If much has been conceded to the college man, much more will be de- manded from him. The only work the world really respects, the only work that brings to the doer of it permanent peace, is work that is unselfish. That spirit is symbolized by John Carroll, the founder of our college.” Confers 445 Degrees. President W. Coleman Nevils confer- red degrees upon 445 graduates of all de- ! partments in the presence of about ,500 friends and relatives of the seniors ‘whe had assembled on the collebe cam- pus for the outdoor exercises.

President Hoover laid the corner stone yesterday afternoon of the largest office bullding in Washington, and, in floor space, the largest in the worid— the new building for the Department of Commerce. The impressive cere- monies were conducted in the presence of an immense throng, including many present and former officials of the Gov- ernment. The President seemed especially pleased to lay this corner stone, since he was Secretary of Commerce when the plans for the new building were started, and probably did more than any other man to build up that depart- ment to its present position of import- ance in the industrial and commercial life of the Nation. President Hoover used the same trowel and gavel which President Washington used when he laid the corner stone of the Capitol in 1793. By co-operation and not by compul- sion, the President said, in a brief ad- dress before the stone was put in place, the Department of Commerce should | | seek to assist “in maintaining and giv- ing the impulse of progress to commerce and industry in a nation whose suc- cessful economic life underlies advance- ment in every other field.” Lamont Presides. ‘The ceremonies began at 4 o'clock and lasted about an hour. Other speak- ers were Secretary of Commerce La- mont, who presided and delivered the opening remarks; Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the Public Buildings Commission; Representative Elliott of Indiana, chairman of the House com- mittee on public buildings and grounds, and George B. Cortelyou, first Secre- tary of Commerce and Labor, out of which grew the present Department of Commerce. Bishop James E. Freeman of Wash- ington delivered the invocation, and the benediction was pronounced by Rt. Rev. John M. McNamara, Auxiliary Bishop of Baltimore. Music was fur- nished by the Marine Band. ‘The corner stone was laid at the northwest corner of the new building, near Fifteenth and E streets. “On an occasion which so pecullarly marks the progress of this great na- tional institution,” sald President Hoover, “it is a particular pleasure to welcome those men who, as former Secretaries of Commerce. have contrib- uted to its upbuilding. And I may per- haps be pardoned for an especial pride on this occasion, having served for seven years in the department, and having had some part in the design and Initiation of this building. Those who have presided over this department truly appreciate thé significance and the inspiration of this occasion. It marks the emergence of the Depart- ment of Commerce into full mrturity and service. “Setting the corner stone of any great public building in the city of Washing- ton is also a milestone of progress, not only of the Capital, but of the Nation as a whole. This building will be not only the largest single public structure in the city, but in its actual floor space it is said to be the largest office building in the world. It represents the most important structure in the new program for - better accommodation of our Gov- ernment and the beautification of our National Capital. Uses Historic Trowel. “We use today the trowel with which President Washington laid the corner. stone of the Capitol 136 years ago. Its use cannot but recall the growth of this city and of our country which that period s0 uniquely represents. When President Washington laid that corner- stone this particular spot was but a swamp traversed by little more than & cow path which led from the begin- nings of the Capitol to the beginings of the White House. Even when, seven years later, the administrative bureaus of the Government were moved from New York and Philadelphia and set up in Washington they consisted in entire personnel of officials and clerical force of less than 150 persons. Since that time the administrative functions of the Government have been expanded year by year until they now require twenty times as many officials for each million of people as were required then. While there may be complaints over the expansion in other directions, this department cannot be a subject of them, for it is devoted solely to ald and foster the development of higher standards of living and fort of our people. “The beginnings of the idea to create a Department of Commerce are perhaps obscure. There was no provision in the Constitution for any cabinet offi- cer, department or bureau. A nation struggling for liberty and freedom nat- urally gave more thought to provision for fundamental freedom by formuls tion of law for its protection than to the administration of those laws, but i“ - ly administration quickly fol- low Hamilton Used Vision. “In advising upon the divisions into which administrative work should be assigned it is sald that Alexander Ham- ilton proposed the creation of six depart- ments—State, Treasury, War, Justice, Post Office and Trade. But out of economy the last-named department was not created. It was not until 114 years later that the functions which he then described emerged as the De- partment of Commerce, As Secretary of the Treasury, how- ever, Hamilton's vision well comp hended the necessities of Federal Got ernment activity in support of com- merce and industry.

During the hundred years before the founding of the department other bu- Teaus were created and finally brought | i together into a homogeneous organi- zation with full cabinet representation under President Roosevelt and with Mr, CortelyOu as its first Secretary. The 26 years since its foundation have shown an extraordinary expansion and change, until the department has evolved into its present impressive size and helpfulness. “And its ideals are clear: That by co-operation and not by compulsion it Prancis Hagerty, George Joseph Heck, Carl Prederick Hermann, Van Manning Hoffman, Hubert Edward Jacobs, Robert Janz, Samuel Jeweler, John Marshall Kauffman, Francis Xavier Kelly, Charles Prederick Knox, i ack Kirkham Mc- Fall, Je h Aloysius Mackey, Carlos Mantilla, jr.; Leslie Gordon Mayer, cum laude; Louis Bert Mazzeo, Robert Michael Meehan, Willlam Harold Mil- lerd, Fenton Moran, Ernest James Moyle, Avery Frederick Peterson, Prederic Wil- llam Pollman, Leroy Warren Reeves, Sumner Campbell Rider, Aaron Morti- mer Rosenthal (as of February, 1929), Arthur Merriam Ryhn, John Charles Sack, Samuel Robert Sallick, William Lemon Shea, Austin Jones Snavely, Roderick Rudolph Sorel, Percy Selden Straus, Clinton Cornelius Trautner, Max Wall, Willlam George Watt.

WILLARD BATTERIES should seek to assist in maintaining and giving the impulse of progress to com- merce and industry in a Nation whose successful economic life underlies vancement in every other field.” Secretary Lamont referred to the t changes that have taken place sl;:,c; the department was organized in Urges Sound Business. “Our population has increased 50 per cent,” he said. “Manufactures have in- creased more than 400 per cent. Elec- tricity, as measured in kilowatt hours, has increased more than 3,000 per cent; | telephones from 2,500,000 to 19,000,000 In 1903 there was one automobile to every 2,500 persons. Now there is one to every five. Our comrmerce is thus conducted on a vastly greater scale. It can no longer go forward in haphazard, guesswork fashion. To survive busi- ness must be on an economically sound basis. It must proceed on knowledge of exact facts.” Senator Smoot referred particularly to the work of Mr. Hoover as Secretary of Commerce in building up the de- partment to its present position. “To Herbert Hoover the Department of Commerce owes an incalculable debt of gratitude.” said Senator Smoot, “for his organizing ministrative skill, his creative imagina- tion and amazing energy, his crystal clear comprehension. of the depart- ment’s needs and possibilities in rela- tion to our national life. The Depart- ment of Commerce as it stands today is in the fullest sense a monument to him, and in its new incarnation on this spot it will continue to be so increas- ingly.” 'grguchmg upon the subject of modern business, Senator Smoot said, “It is moving definitely away from an exclu- sive preoccupation with selfish profit. Pays Homage to Hoover. “Profit, to be sure,” he added, “Is utterly essential if our commercial structure is to remain sound, and it is profit which supplies the most com- pelling impetus to enterprise. But we have learned in recent years, I think, how inadvisable it is to direct our en- tire attention to that phase. “Business has been developing 2 vastly broader outlook—an acute aware- ness of the common good, & keen and ardent willingness to serve it. In our commercial community we see on every hand & generous ‘public-mindedness.” “We take delight in the knowledge that this building is to be but one of many here in Washington—all as im- pressive and appropriate as this; all serving as a concrete, tangible embodi- ment of the greatness of ofir Nation.' Representative Elllott referred to '?hls as a “red letter day in Washington.' “We are laying the corner stone,’ he sald, “of %e world's greatest office building, which is to house the thou- sands of employes of the Department of Commerce, one of the newest and yet one of the greatest executive de- partments of our Government. Under the guidance of that master genius, President Hoover, who was for many years head of the department, its im- portance grew by leaps and bounds until its activities reach into all paris of the world, alding our citizens to carry on their commercial operations great d small, with every civilizea nation.” A Great Building. Mr. Elliot sald that the public build- ing act, of which he was co-author in 1926, has been amended and supple- mented until today the total amount authorized for the National Capital is $115,000,000, and for the Nation at large, about $248,000,000, to be expend- ed at the rate of $35,000,000 annually. “It is probably the most stupendous building program ever adopted by this or any other government” he added. “It is unique in this; that’it 4 the first time in history that our Government ever adopted a definite and business- like program for the handling of the construction of its great public build- ings.” gl!r. Cortelyou spoke briefly of the organization of the Department of Commerce and Labor, of which he was the first secretary, and out of which grew the present separate Departments of Commerce and Labor. The Com- merce Department has had many dis- tinguished Secretaries, he said. “It enjoys the rare distinction,” he continued, “of having given to the country a President.” ‘The spirit of the department’s person- nel has been of the highest, Mr. Cortel- you said, and has carried it “to the front rank of the executive departments of the Government and has made it of invaluable service to the people.” ‘The new bullding for the Depart- ment of Commerce as planned will be one of the great office buildings of the world. It will occupy three complete city squares. Its length, 1,050 feet ex- ceeds that of the United States Capital by 300 feet, though its breadth, 325 feet, i3 25 feet less. It is also longer than the British House of Parliament by 110 feet, though not as wide. The land area occupied is about 345,000 square feet, nearly eight acres. The bullding will rise seven stories. Construction under- ground will include a complete base- ment for general use, with a sub-base- ment for the heating and lower plant. The setting for the building is one of natural beauty. With its southwest corner at Fifteenth and B streets north- west, it looks southward over the grounds of the Washington Monument and westward over the park lying south of the White House. The view north- ward will be over E street and a triangu- lar park toward Pennsylvania avenue, LONE SAILOR WRECKED NEAR ATLANTIC GOAL Intrepid German Saved by U. 8. Coast Guard as Boat Founders. After crossing the Atlantic in his 30- foot sloop, the Aga, without accident, Paul Muller, adventurous German, met with disaster last night, according to word received by the Coast Guard here to the effect that his boat went aground off the Mosquito Lagoon Station, about 200 miles north of Miami, Fla. ‘The dispatch states that the craft, which braved the rollers of mid- ocean, was wrecked while cruising the comparatively placid waters along the east coast of Florida. Muller was taken to shore in a Coast Guard launch, but it has not yet been learned how badly boat was damaged. Will Rogers Says: BEVERLY HILLS. —Not much news today.

FINDS MONEY RATE EFFECT IS UNREAL Business Seen Good in Spite of Policy of Federal Reserve Coard. David Lawrence is writing today from Pittsburgh, where he has inter- viewed some of the biggest men in American business as well as in the banking world. Most of these mien prefer not to be quoted directly, but the composite of their views gives an interesting glimpse of what is going on behind the scenes in the world of commerce and trade. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. PITTSBURGH, June 11.—If the Fed- eral Reserve policy, with its attendant high money rates, has had an effect on business in this area it is rather an ap- prehension than a reality. Steel was never better, and the vol- ume of business is so great that those who might be expected to feel the pinch of higher rates in financing commerce are evidently able to stand the addi- tional expense or they consider it tem- porary. There is no atmosphere of de- pression or decline, But this does not mean that the Federal Reserve policy goes unscathed. On the contrary, the central point of criticism most often voiced is that an air of uncertainty, so fatal to planning, has enveloped the money situation to such an extent that companies that should be seeking new financing are held back. Most of the larger corpora- tions never were'in a better cash rosi- tion and are themselves able to lend on the money markets of New York, though only a few are doing it. Becomes Rival Bank. ‘The banks which originally solicited the privilege of placing money on call for large customers now look askance at the sudden appearance of these big corporations really as rival banking in- stitutions. During May, for example, the average rate for call money in New York was about 87-10 per cent, which was much higher than would have been the yield to tHese companies had they bought gilt-edged bonds or Government securities as would have been the case in the old days. nesses indicate that orders are well ahead of last year in many lines. The construction industry shows some signs of recession, but whether it is due to the end of speculative building or whether it is a settling down process after overbuilding is hard to measure. Certainly high money rates have not affected the opportunity to get first mortgages, as one large trust company executive said today he would gladly buy many millions of dollars’ worth of first mortgages on property really worth & 60 per cent loan. Study Second Mortigages. The second mortgage market is, of course, unfavorable, but this is not an abnormal characteristic nor is it pecul- far to Pittsburgh. The Department .of Commerce in Washington is preparing to make a Nation-wide survey of the second mortgage problem in the hope of encouraging large units of capital to work out some practicable plan that will aid people to build homes on an installment basis or some other feasible method. It is interesting to find in talking with business people here that they have little sympathy with speculation as such, though they wish some way could be found to curb it without keep- ing the moncy market jumping up and down so irregularly from day to day. Anybody who could invent a plan to stabilize the money market in New York would find an appreciative constituency hereabouts. One of the leading brokers told the writer that notwithstandin, the widespread criticism of lo-cll!es brokers' loans, they were amply pro- tected not only by unusually large mar- gins but by an appraisal of values based upon last yeas res or even those of the year befo! other words, lend- ing was more and more frequently based upon the true rather than value of stocks. “‘conservative” and “selective.” Dislike Uncertainty. While there is the usual tendency to take a fling at any institution in Wash- ington which dares to disturb the even Reserve Board and member banks. The N ol GULOENS lesome | l!act that the rediscount rate was not going t6 be advanced beyond 5 per cent was old news in Washington last Thurs- day, but it has only now begun to per- colate through from the Federal Re- serve banks. Fear of an increase is only today beginning to be dissipated. Certainly the Federal Reserve policy has had the effect of striking terror to those who think they can puzzle out the future, and as for the small specu- lator, he has tragically taken his losses, sadder if not wiser than ever before. To a large extent the average man blames the Federal Reserve Bank for his losses and coals of fire are heaped on the heads of those in the Government who dare to interfere with the game of chance. Business, however, which one might have expected to be in the doldrums, worrying about 8 per cent for time money, is so much more interested in volume of sales, even if on smaller mar- gins, that the episode of the Federal Reserve's battle with the speculative element in Wall Street is only inci- dentally of interest to executives. They do fear, however, the conse- quences in the Autumn unless easier money conditions or, to put it more aptly, steadier money conditions can be brought about. It is stabilization that is hoped for by business, even if the general level of borrowing costs is somewhat higher than it used to be, and the banks are faced with so many new problems as a result of the changing conditions that they are far from happy over the pangs of readjustment. Here, as in other cities, they are trying to find new ways to attract old depositors. (Copyright, 1920.) —_—— CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY. Senator Gerald P.

JAILED FOR “MURDER” OF BOY STILL LIVING Exaggerated Report Leads to I suance of Warrant for Colored Man. By the Assoclated Press. HOPKINSVILLE, Ky., June 11.—An “exaggerated” report of a death has put a Christian County colored man in the unusual position of being in jail charged with the murder of a person who still lives and, according to physi- cians, has a good chance to live for. another 40 years or so. A bullet from the pistol of the man, Don Coleman, 20, struck William Henry, 15, at Peedee, Ky., June 25. County Attorney John C. Duffy said that the boy’s grandfather came to Hopkinsville and told him the boy dled Saturday and was buried Sunday. A warrant charging murder was issued and a deputy sheriff went to Peedee to serve it. He found the Henry boy alive, but parnlyzed on the left side. Physi- cians said, however, that he has a good chance to recover. ‘The colored man claims the shooting was accidental, but Duffy said several accounts of it have reached him.
