C., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14 WORLD DEPRESSION LAID TO PRESIDENT James M. Cox Declares Pres- ent Administration Caused Universal Condition. “The current world-wide business de- pression was laid at the door of the | Hoover administration by James M. Cox, | Democratic presidential nominee in 1920, who tontended in his radio ad- ! dress last night that not only was the 'll condition started in the United States, but that “the dreadful thing about it is that it could have been avoided.” Mr. Cox, who was speaking over the National Broadcasting Co.'s chain of stations, charged that the Hoover ad- ministration “encouraged the gambling hysteria” which preceded the stock mar- ket crash, and that it “then forced upon | an unwilling people the tariff law, which later accentuated the depression.” “We must not lose sight of the fact,” Mr. Cox declared, “that our tariff | changes were initiated when our coun- try was llving in an unprecedented prosperity. When the P:esident signed | the now famous bill in the face of the most representative, far-spread and appealing memorials ever addressed to an Executive he gave furtherance to the ills born of his first failure to act in face of an inevitable crash in our stock markets. All From Common Cause. “What is the answer to all of this from Washington?” Cox “The statement comes that business de- pressicn is everywhere, and that not only are the conditions of unemploy- ment alike in all countries, but it all arises from a common cause—over- | production. “There is no overproduction in the sense that the President speaks of it. ‘There is a shortage in the buying power. If the world were purchasing normally we would be manufacturing normally and we would buy if we were employed. “We were the industrial giant of the earth, the great creditor Nation, and we were producing one-third of all the products of the globe and buying from other nations, thus establishing an economic balance that would have con- tinued had we acted wisely. “When giant America was prostrated she curtailed her purchases abroad. This occasioned unemployment there and further diminished the purchasing power. It is significant that this thing did not start anywhere' except in | America.” Need Human Engineer, “Two years ago we elected a Presi- dent who was recommended as a great engineer. That he was and is a great enginer we do not doubt. But the great need now is not a mechanical, but |a human engineer. America is rich | in capacity te operate its machines. The | trouble is in the lack of human en- | gineering which fails to put these fine machines so fully at service of mankind as to escape the absurd and almost criminal situation in which we now find ourselves, with millions of | men and businesses suffering in a land | of overplus.” MORROW SUPPORTS HOOVER AS BORAH DEFENDS” PINCHOT | (Continued From First Page.) “WANTED_RETURN LOADS.

(Continued From First P on the face of the returns by V. L. Palmisano. But only by a few hundred votes. Later a committee of the House declared there had been fraud in the balloting for Palmisano. Canvassing the situation State by State, it appears that the Republicans stand to lose surely one to two seats in Indiana, three to five seats in Ken- tucky, a net loss of one to two seats in Maryland, one seat in Massachusetts, two to five seats in.Missouri, one to two seats in Nebraska, one seat in New Jersey, three seats in Ohio, one seat in Oklahoma, one to three seats in Pennsylvania, two to three seats in Virginia, one to two seats in West Vir- ginia. Taking the maximum figures, this means a loss of 30 seats. Democratic Gains Seen. Resolving the doubts in other con- gressional districts in favor of the Democrats would add another 30 seats to the Republican loss, as follows: Con- necticut, 1;-Illinois, 4: Indiana, 3; Massachuseits 2; Minnesota, 1; Mis- souri, 2; Nebraska, 1; New York, 1 North Carolina, 2; North Dakota 1; Ohio, 2; Oklahoma, 1; Oregon, 1; nessee, 1; Texas, 1; Utah, 1, and West Virginia, 2. These losses would be in addition to those given in the list of practically sure losses and would make the total gross loss of the Republi- cans 60 seats. The Democrats are to regain many of the seats lost to them in the Repub- lican landslide of 1928. For example, two years ago the Republicans picked up six seats which had been held by the Democrats. It seems quite clear this year that the 1928 Hoovercrats in Kentucky are again Démocrats, The Democrats, in a_by-election, following the death of a Republican Represent- ative for the third district, elected their candidate. They are expected to regain all five of the other seats which they lost to the Republicans two years ago. In the fourth district, one of the five in question, the Democrats have en- talk of the possibility of the Republi- cans retaining that district, now repre- sented by J. D. Craddock. Represent- ative Thatcher, Republican, has no opposition in the Louisville district, and Mrs. Langley in the tenth district and Representative Finley in the eleventh are to be re-elected, it is believed. ‘Worried Over Three States. { ‘The Republicans are g:eatly worried over the situation in three of the great States of the Middle West which have been strongly Republican in recent years—Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. The high command has sent a number of national speakers into Indiana already, including Vice President Curtis and Senator Fess of Ohio, the Republican national chairman. The signs of re- volt against the G. O. P. in both Ohio and Illinois have been many, too. The Democrats today hold only 3 In- diana seats in the House and the Re- publicans 10. There is danger, however, that -the Democrats may have in the next House as many as seven or eight Indiana seats. Reports from Missouri have been to the effect that G. O. P. stock has taken a terrible slump. The Republicans may lose as many as seven seats they now hold there, some of them, indeed, ordi- narily Democratic, but which went Re- publican in the wake of the Hoover presidential eraft two years ago. Re- publican leaders here,” however, have been somewhat heartened over the Mis- souri situation in recent days. Things are not so black, it is said, as they have been painted. Virginia to Slide Back. It seems a foregone conclusion that the three Virginia districts, won by the Republicans in 1928, will slide back into the Democratic column. But the Republicans are putting up a desperate fight to retain the two seats they won in North Carolina. The Republicans | Mr. Morrow said, “President Hoover | stands today a potent and positive fac- tor for peace in the world—peace at home and abroad, His wise action in his unofficial capacity in bringing the together, one year ago, has contributed in a great degree to an avoidance of those con- flicts between capital and labor, which 50 often in the past have complicated our periods of depression and delayed our industiial recovery. “At a time of stress when so many parts of the world are in disorder, our have been conducted with dignity and wisdom. President Hoover's initiative and driving force created the London Disarmament Treaty, which eliminated for the firsi time in the history of the world com- petition in all classes of naval arma- ment among the three leading nations | of the world. |, “The most eflective cure for hard times, Mr. Morrow sald, rests with the people themselves, and every em- ployer who maintains his plant and his organization is making a substantial contribution to the return of prosperity. He commended the labor unions for their efforts to maintain a healthful standard of living, to increase produc- Uvity and to avoid unnecessary strikes, Through the history of the country, Mr. Morrow saw a gradual breakdown of bitterness between political parties. “All parties,” he said, “including the Republican party, have been wont to credit themselves with whatever good times happened during their term of power, without looking for the deeper reasons that underlie the ebb and flow of prosperity. Any party which takes | credit for the rain must not be sur- But no Republican need shrink from a discussion gf commercial he said, with the position of the Dem: cratic party in New Jersey that n: tional prohibition was not an issue in the senatorial campaign. He reiterated his position, he explained, in order that the voters of New Jersey might under no misunderstandin; his attitude. e “1 subtract nothing from what I said have for years had a strong following in those districts, the ninth nd tenth, located in the Western part of the State. There is a feeling that if the G. O. P. can hold these districts, a real entering wedge will have been made in the solid South which may ! bear fruit in the future. The situation for the Republicans in the Far West appears to be not nearly s0 difficult as in the Middle West and in certain portions of the East and in the “border States.” Economic condi- tions are better in the Western States. There is one feature of the campaign for congressional seats that sometimes | is forgotten. The contest for a seat in the House often revolves around the personality of the holder. A member of the House who is strongly intrenched | in his own district frequently weathers the political storm which is disastrous for his party nationally. This fact may ald & number of Republicans to hold on to their districts in the November election. Trouble in West Virginia. ; West Virginia is full of trouble for the Republicans, it is sald. While it is believed that they will be able to hang on to the first and second districts there, and possibly the fifth, the third and fourth are likely to go Democratic. | On the other hand, it is said that the | Republicans _actually have a fighting | chance to take the sixth district, which | is now held by a Democrat. | Down in Texas, Represéntative Wurz- | bach, the sole Republican’ Representa~ tive from the Lone Star State, has good chance o be returned. The R publicans say, tco, that there is a chance for them to pick up a seat in!| the third Rhode Island district. The | district has been represented by Jere. miah O'Connell, a popular Democrat, who resigned and is not again running. —— e ek Will Rogers BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—The Harvard College paper says the American Legion convention .in Boston was “just one wild party.” . Poor Harvard papers! They have a habit that is just bor- dering on genius for saying the wrong things. Imagine any college paper criticising some- body for giving a wild party. Wait till an- other war comes and let the Harvard editorial staff fight it. And then they can show how a convention should be con- ducted. Where the mistake was made was in not asking our boys when recruiting if they ever took a little nip, and if they did why not allow 'em in our war. In that way we could have had a respectable war, but lost it. BORAH SEES CRISIS IN FARM SITUATION Tells Wheat Raisers Fight for Equality With Industry Is Impending. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, Idaho, October 15.—Sena- tor W. E. Borah told wheat farmers “n a campaign address here last night the “fight for equality between agricul- ture and industry” would reach a crisis December 5, at the opening of the next Congress. “The time has come for a_showdown to find out whether the pledges of our political parties as regards agriculture are going to be kept,” he said. His rt in the “farm relief fight,” he said, ad “just started.” Farm Board Started Right. He added he had “little faith” in the Federal Farm Board's ability to help wheat farmers without the debenture | system. “The Farm Board started out right,” | Senator Borah said. “Legge (Alexander Legge, chairman of the Farm Board) set out to do the marketing for the farmer. But about that time Julius Barnes and other gentlemen of the United States Chamber of Commerce went to Washington. They convinced Legge that he was on the wrong track: at least I presume they did, for Legge quit. And instead he began preaching for a reduction in acreage. “The effect of dumping he minimized, saying it was ‘old stuff’ for traders who practiced it by selling on foreign markets below prices wheat would sell for in this country.” Referring to recent charges of wheat “dumping” by the Russian Soviet, the Senator said: "“On one of the four days Russia was selling her 7,000,000 bushels of wheat, 100,000,000 bushels were being sold on the Chicago Ex- change, “Russia we can't touch; but if it was wrong for Russia to sell we should grab by the nape of the neck the men at Chicago, responsible for allowing it.” The tariff controversy, he said, was simply a battle “between the East and West.” The Senator asserted the East is interested only in buying foodstuffs on the cheapest world market. He sald he would vote against every tariff bill which did not “recognize” western agri- culture. SOVIET IS TOPIC Dr. Elsie Reed Mitchell Will Talk Tomorrow Night at Playhouse.

He sald support for the undertaking has come from other sources. The plan, Mr. Hinshaw said, is not a new one, but has been tried from time to time during campaigns.
