MURRAY PREPARES 15 BATILE CRY “Bread, Butter, Bacon and Eggs” to Be Keynote if People Want Him. By the Associated Press.

He blamed the Nation's system of ing and credits for the economic on end said he would offer a program of remedy at today’s Labor day celebration. Gov. Murray had prepared answers to some questions he expected news- paper reporters to ask and he handed them out at his hotel. One of them read “Gov. Willam H. Murray of Okla- homa said: ‘In reply to your question as to my running for President, I have to say, as I have said before, the poli- ticians have, with but few exceptions, nominat>d_Fresi nd then politi- cians got their best serviecs. Were I to become President the most vitriolic at- tack cver known in American politics would be turned loose against me. ‘Thercfore, unless I am convinced that the people intend in 1932 to nominate the President, I should not desire such a stinging reward for my ambition. In- deed, I have no ambition except to serve and to accomplish things.’ ” As Gov. Murray looked out of his hotel window at the lake front some one asked him what he thought of Chicago. Il be all right,” he replied, “when you get it finished.” Opposes Dry Issue, Replying to queries on his prohibition views, Gov. Murray said, “The whole question in the 1932 campaign should be one based upon the correction of our economic errors.” He predicted the de- pression “will be worse 12 months from now_than it is today.” “Constitutional questions,” the Gov- ernor continued, “should never become partisan questicns, but the people should be left free of all prejudice, anger and fanaticism, either partisan or ecclesias- tical, so_that such constitutional pro- visions shall be the reflex of sober sec- ond thought.” LEAVES FOR LOAN PARLEY Dominican Republic Advisor Is En Route Here by Plane.

Labor day finds the Nation mobilizing greatest rellef funds in history to prevcnt unemployment distress during the coming Winter. Only scattered re- ports of local plans have reached the headquarters of Walter S. Gifford, di- rector of the Presicent's organization on unempoyment relief, but they in- dgicate the relief funds will mount to hundreds of millions of dollars. At the same time, Secretary of Labor Doak In a formal Labor day greeting faid that “despit- the present business rocession, which we are all striving to remove, the relation of labor with em- ployers and the public at large is now based upon a better understanding than ever before.” “Mutuality of respect b-tween workers and employers_exists,” Mr. Doak con- tinued, “and the bond of co-operation, unity of cffort, and good will prevail: than at any prior time elf, is a great cause for rejoicing, for it marks much progress in’ tolerance for those whose heads and hands have wrought to supply the needs of mankind and thereby improved the social life of our whole national com- monwealth.” Davis Hits Wage Cuts. th NATION MOBILIZING | | BAYLES MISSES AR MARK FOUR TIMES.

Senator Davis called for the applica- tion of the “golden rule” in a redistri- bution of the profits of industry. “The need® of sound readjustment in the distribution of the profits of indus- fry is based on logic,” he said. “Cut- throzt prices and dog-eat-dog business policics mean cheap labor; cheap labor means cheap families, cheap families mean a cheap country, and a cheap country engenders physical as well as mental poverty and illiteracy, resulting in national decav.” He emphasized that “unless drastic wage-cutting and reckless price-slash- ing policies are checked, our Nation, in time, probably will cease to be a Nation of free men, becoming instead a coun- try of serfs ruled »y an aristocracy of business czars or communistic dic- tators.

By Cable to The Star, MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, September 7—Events throughout South America during the last ‘week indicate that this continent is no nearer getting out of the mire of financial and political un- rest than it was 14 months ago, when tions that have reduced the greater part of the continent to chaos. The more important of the South American republics resent the Anglo- Saxon habit of grouping all the repub- lics together as “South America,” yet these most important countries, includ- ing the so-called A B C republics, Ar- gentina, Brazil and Chile, have found no better way to settle their troubles than resort to the time-honored tactics of the so-called banana republics of Central America, which have caused Latin America to become synonymous with revolution. Many Plots Uncovered. Last week saw the complete break- down of government in Chile, accol panied by a serjous threat of the estb- lishment of Communism, while there were abortive counter-revolutionary plots in Argentina and Brazil; Com- munist outbreaks in Equador; plotting in Peru, which caused the dissolution of the Republican Guard, and cabinet crises in Bolivia and Paraguay, that in Bolivia being the second since constitu- tional government was re-established six_months ago. With the exception of Argentina, all the countries affected by recent revolu- tions have, as one of their first steps toward recovery, suspended payments on bonds held by American and other foreign investors. Yet in all these countries thers is resentment that the United States Government and Amer- ican investors do not shovel gold into South America in sufficient quantities to settle all their financial troubles, without, of course, presuming to make any suggestion r-garding the political or economic mismanagement that has produced the present situation. Resentment in Argentina, This resentment is especially appar- ent in Argentina because Americans are felt there in some way to be responsible for the fact that Argentine bonds are selling in New York around 60, making it impcssible for the bankers to rensw the $50,000,000 loan falling due October 1, except at 2 market price low enough to tempt investors. The Argentiniens refuse to look facts | {in the face and see that the lack of | confidence of the investors is due to, the prolonged suspension of legal gov ernment and frequent plots to over-| throw Provisional President Gen. Jose Francisco Uriburu. Foreign investors are not blind to the fact that Gen.| Uriburu can never establish a stable | government in Argentina under his| present plan of using force to prevent | the majority party from participating | in the forthcoming elections. A parallel | situation in the United States would be | the seizure of power by the Wisconsin | Progressives and their refusal to permit | the Republicans to vote or hold office | in the new government, Irigoyenists in Majority. Regardless of the preference of foreign | banks and foreign business men to do ! business with the people Gen. Uriburu | represents, the fact remains that the Irigoyenists, whom he is barring by ! | dictatorial force from their civil rights, ' | represent about 75 per cent of the coun- | try’s voting opinion, and thit his re- fusal to permit them to participate in the forthcoming elections is’ responsible for whatever participation they have had in recent attempts at counter-revo- lution As always happens when organized government collapses, Communist agi- tators are busy throughout the con- tinent, having produced more or less serious trouble recently in Bolivia, Chile and Ecuador, while Gen. Uriburu himself is authority for the statement that they were involved in the recent | { plotting against him. U. S. Hela “Disloyal.” In no one of the republics affected | by revolution during the last 14 months | ‘e there relable indications of a definite cessation of political plotting, counterplotting and definite re-estab- lishment of law and order in the near | future. ! | But despite that fact, they all think { that President Hoover 'was untrue to some unwritten code of brotherly love | when he refused to postpone all South | | American loans the same as he did | Germany's, and the longer trouble con- | tinues and the worse it gets the more pronounced seems to be the feeling that the United States has been disloyal toward South America and that Ameri- ! cans are in some not very clear manner at the bottom of the present economic | and financial flls, which are at the bot- | tom of the political unrest.

NEW YORK, September 7.—Radio experts of the Police Depirtment are { flitting here and there about town today making the first tests of motor car receiving sets to be used in fa- cilitating the capture of motor crim- inals. Eight different makes of sets have been installed in as many cars and the tests will continue for a week or more to determine which seems best fitted to the work. When tests have been completed 250 high-powered cars will be equipped with the radio apparatus and a $50,000 short-wave transmitting station will be erected. The license for this station will have to be issued by the Commerce Department, but it is not expected that any delays will be met with in ob- taining this permit. The station will operate with 1,000 watts of power 24 hours a day. The greatest difficulty is anticipated in obtaining clear and dependable re- ception in certain parts of the ecity notably bad for radio work.
