B the Associated Proce Whiehever may predommate in the end. perscnalities and issnes now seem cartain to mix freely in the eoming presidential campaign as the qualifica- tions of Pranklin D. Roesevelt are weighed of Hodver. Although the electioneering has only begun, the capabilities of both nomi- noes ‘aiready have been called into| question by rankirg opposition spokes- | men. During the past week the Demo- | cratic chairman, James A. Farley, in 4 radio speech, directly accused Mr. Hoo- | ver of incompetence and imefficieny.

Reosevelt’s position on foreign debts. In a statement issued through the Democratic National Committee, Ash- urst said the New Hampshire Repub- liean had found fauit with the Demo- erati¢ prezidential nominee “for stating an cbvious fact, namely, that rehabilita- tion of trade is necessary in order that our debtors may have the medium of exchange with which to make their pay- ments to us. “With charming naivete,” the Ari- gonan added, “he charges that the pro- posal of the Democratic nominee,is a suggestion that the American people ‘pay the debts out of their own pogkets.’ “What are the American people do- ing today? The Hoover moratorium eértainly brought about no payments on the ameunt ewed the United States by its European creditors. The Hoover ad- ministration has not even suggested any method for increasing the flow of | payments. The only proposal that has | come from the Republican side has been that of Senator ah calling for can- cellation.

The regulations follow: It is plainly the intent of the act that any funds made available under this act shall be not in lieu of, but merely supplemental to, local and State funds and private contributions where funds from these sources are inadequate. In addition to the certificates required under title I, subsections c and e of section 1, the following infermation is necessary in support of the application | for such supplementary funds: 1.

Feverish aetlvity here, mostly in re- lation to constructive plans being laid in New York and Chicage, reflecis one of the most remarkable examples of has witnessed since the war. News of the possible formation of a eommodity pocl analogous to the bond- buying pool and now talx of an equip- ment poel, all to be financed privately, could not have come at a more oppor- tune moment. 1t has always been felt that at the right time constructive steps could be takem. but they hed to be superimposed on a foundation of public confidence. The behavior of the in- vestment markets is a reflection of the change in publc sentiment and the reaciness to absorb gilt-edge securities, which, of course, will be issued as credit is furnished for purchise of commodi- ties at prevailing lov prices. The most significant happening in the commodity price situation is the disposal of virtually all wheat held by the Farm Board and arrangements un- | éer consideration to Mlft cotton out of the market either by purchase at an upset price or by a Speculation Is Denied. In any event the whest and cotton surpluses may be handled by a huge buying pool, privately financed. It is emphasized that this is not 8 maneuver in_speculation, that the plan s wholly different from that in which the Farm Board engaged when it bought com- modities to stabilize prices, and rep- resents now & method of orderly mar- keting of an existing supply. Also, the co-operation of ail elements in the sit- uation, namely, the private grain and cotton trade as well as the Government agencies. may be brought about so thet conceivably all concerned will benefit by the natural upward trend that is expected to result. Purchases of metals and raw ma- terials for equipment of railroads, par- ticularly stimulation of the steel indus- try through a reconstruction program for the railroads, are being o lered as a part of the general scheme of lift- ing commodity levels and helping to bring back confidence in business. The plans in the making are far- reaching and relate largely to the fur- nishing of working capital mro\:&h commercial as well as investment bank- ing channels, especially since a cushicn | of nearly three billions of credit can be | | furnished by the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation.

He s stocks were foreed down to their remely low levels by a combination of fear over the outfiow of gold, hysterta over balancing the budget, and disappointment 2t the lack of Syring business recovery. Now gold is re- turning, the budget has been disposed of for the time being, and attention is being diverted toward the business prospeet for the Autumn, when a ses- upturn i3 normally expected. Prices are now back to the levels of early April.

This has contributed to a relapse in sterling, ithough the seasonal demand for dol- ars also has some effect in depressing the pound. —aigs PROBE DUE THIS MONTH INTO JUDGE’S CONDUCT House Subcommittee Will Consiger Charges Against Harold C.
