NEW YORK, N ber 30 (#).—An an was bumed fo lumbia University now is based on three-month leave of absence, rene: able at regular three-month intervals. He may get it continued once or twice more and then again he may not. Tugwell’s chief interest in life now is to nurse his pure food and drug bill throug™ the coming sessian of Congress. He will like Congressmen even less when he finds out what they are going to do to that measure, His coming evperience may keep him here longer than he thinks. Not Having His Own Way. Then again, insiders know he has re- cently encountered some discouraging objections to his program on the in- side. Contrary to the general belief, everything is not going his way. He may suddenly decide to pack up and go back to the class room if his ideas are blocked. That belief became a hot tip in the inner circle a few days ago. It was encouraged by the fact a member of the economics department at Columbia asked several pupils significantly how they would like to have Tugwell back for the next Semester. Tugwell denied the yarn to intimates, but it is still a yarn. Have New Ideas on Taxes. The administration master minds have some new taxation- ideas that would blow your hat off—a complete Teform in the Federal tax system. However, your hat is fairly safe for the next year or so. The ideas prob- will have to wait, because there is | ably 50 much else to do Arst, For the coming session of Congress, the general taxing rate structure prob- ably will remain undisturbed. Regar less of all the rumors, the only reduc- tions that are now being seriously con- templated are in nuisance taxes. Any chance or restoring reasonable income levies is out. The program is not formulated yet but here 1s the way it probably will work out. A moderate liquor tazing reso- lution will be proposed by the Treasury and passed by Congress before January 15. The powers of control are going to keep all other tazing questions out of that resolution. ‘The liquor tax will be fixed for the purposes of protection against boot- legging, rather than for maximum rev- enue. The money it will raise will be far less than the wet speakers were promising when they advocated repeal on the stump. When that resolution is out of the way, the taxing authorities will draw a serles of emergency amendments. Will Correct Defects. These amendments will correct unin- teresting defects developing in the Naw hastily passed at the last session. In- cluded also probably will be amend- ments killing perhaps $200,000,000 to $400,000,000 worth of the excise and miscellaneous taxes now in force. The idea is they are holding up business. There may be a hitch in that plan. When the question of taxes is once opened up in Congress, the sky be- comes the limit. Tax reductions are very popular with Congressmen just before Congressional elections. The White House is a silent structure, but it houses some ideas that the whole tazation scheme is not well drawn. There is a feeling that when business once gets back on its feet a new system should be adopted to provide well-balanced revenues in times of want as well as plenty. These ideas may include some inher- {tance and gifts taxes much higher than those now in force (and which incidentally are not bringing in much money.) High-bracket incomes also are looked on with disdain. N. R. A. Being De-emphasized. The administration orators now are laying less stress on the N. R.

Close observers thought Prosecutor Pecora did not bear down heavilly upon Chairman Aldrich of the Chase National Bank.

PEACEHOBEINUS, DECLARES PRIEST Pan-American Thanksgiving Mass Sermon Given by » Father Smyth. “A spiritual Ewakening is abroad in the. United States that will lead to in- ternational peace and social justice, Rev, James A. Smyth of St. Peter the Apostle Church in Baltimore, declared in the sermon at the annual Pan- American mass of thanksgiving at St. Patrick’s Church here this morning. In his sermon, Father Smith paid tribute to the public professions of re- ligious _conviction which 'President Roosevelt has made since the day of his {nauguration and asserted that the American people today should give hurb'e “4oals to God for “such enter- prising lendership.” ‘The me -3, aitended by representatives of various nations of the Latin Ameri- cas, me) and women prominent in the United States national life, and prom- inent Catholie laymen, was pon.ficated by Most Rev. Amlete Glovanni Cicog- nani, the apostolic delegate, who was articipating in his first gubllc devo- ns at historic St. Patrick's. Inaugurated in 1909, Reviewing the history of the Pan- American mags, Father Smyth recalled that it was fnaugurated in 1909 by the late Bishop Russell, who then was pas- tor of St. Patrick’s Church. The ob- ject of the mass, he cited, was to bring together representatives of the nations of North and South America to express thanks to God for the blessings be- stowed’ on the two continents and to beseech Him publicly to continue the peace which characterized the rela- tionship beiween these nations. Peace, he continued, is possible only through abiding faith in God. Men in various walks of life have failed in their search for a remedy for the world'’s ills and have in turn led hu- manity into a virtual labyrinth, he said, “because the work of man without God {18 fruitless.” Father Smyth declared he believed he was optimistic enough to believe there is a “spiritual awakening in the Nation today.” “In our own great Republic,” Father Smyth declared, “we are filled with the brightest hopes and we face the future with confidence. For the faith of the American people in the goodness of God is not dead. Yes, even in the midst of the serious erisis through which we are now passing—even though the clouds of anxiety still hang over us—even though perplexing problems still confront us— we have faith in the kind -providence of God.” Confidence in God. Declaring that American people are confident of the guidance of God, the speaker said: “For this do we offer up grateful thanks to Almighty God today, Eecause in His care of us He has raised up a great and mighty leader, a man hailed not only by our own Nation, but by the nations of the worli—as man among men—a man above all of deep faith and trust in God and Jesus Christ, His son; & man who in his inaugural address. after taking the oath of high office, expressed publicly his belief in God ‘and the belief of the American pecple that God would guide them from the valleys to the heights.” In his conclusion, Father Smyth said that inspired by President Roosevelt's spirit of faith and ‘“realizing that his policies for social justice and for the common good and peace of the world are in accord with the principles of Christ and His church, v:> have indeed cause today to thank God for such enterprising leadership.” i Archbishop Presides. i The mass was presided over by Most Baltimore, who was assisted by Very Rev.

Sir Arthur Currie began his military {career as gunner in the 5th Regiment, Canadian Garrison Artillery, British Columbia, and 13 years later, in 1910, he was given command of the regi- ment. | At the outbreak of war in 1914 he volunteered and reached France the next year as commander of the 2d Bri- | { gade of Infantry. For the work of his | forces in the second battie of Ypres, in | | Apirl, 1915, the Canadian leader was | awarded the First Order of Knighthood | and the Companionship of the Bath. | The French government created him a | commander of the Legion of Honor. | In September of the same year he | rose to the post of major general and | | became commander of the 1st Canadian | Division. Successor to Gen. Byng. | Then he stepped into the shoes va- icated by Gen. Sir Julian Byng when | | Byng was transferred to command of | !the 3d British Army from command | |of the Canadian ps Division. He | was appointed to tne supreme com- mand on June 8, 1917. Nine days later he was created knight commander of | the Order of St. Michael and St.| George, becoming Sir Arthur Currie. | In October of that year the Canadian | | | victory at Passchendaele Ridge—a ter- rific battle in which the Canadians lost | many men—brought the able soldier | further honors. Belgium made him a | grand officer of the Order of the Crown, | France bestowed on him the Croix de Guerre with Palms and King George of | England raised him to the honor of | knight commander. | On his return to Canada Sir Arthur became inspector general—the mghesz‘, military oflice unaer the government. He held this position for seven months, relinquishing it to become principal and vice chancellor of McGill University at Montreal.

Following bitter accusations in the House of Commons, this campaign | reached a crescendo in an editorial pub- | lished in the Hope Guide in 1927, andi written by W. R. T. Preston, a well known politician and publicist. In a { swift volte-face, Sir Arthur changed | from the policy of silence he had main- | tained and struck back with a libel | suit, claiming $50,000 damages. The trial, conducted in Cobourg, On- tario, was perhaps the most extraordi- nary in Canadian history. After days of testimony by Canadian soldiers who fought in the World War, the jury found the newspaper's publisher guilty, and | assessed damages of $500. The Cana- | dian corps as one man cheered their former leader’s victory. However, the strain of that trial was believed to- have broken Sir Arthur's health. In May, 1928, he was granted a year’s leave of absence from his post at McGill and went to Europe in search of cure. Besides his widow, Lady Lucy Sophie Chaworth Musters Currie, of Notting- ham, Encland. he is survived by a son, Garner Ormsby Currle, and a daughter, Mrs, A, T, Gait Durford, wife of & well known Montreal architect. - CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL HOLDER TO QUIT ARMY Sergt.

By the Assoclated Pre: DETROIT, November 30.—Rev. Father Charles E. Coughlin today r fused to retreat from his position in the controversy with Alfred E. Smith precipitated by an address at New York_ earlier this week, in which he attached Smith for his opposition to the m{xefilry policies of President s Declaring that “I am not hedging at all” Father’ Coughlin reiterated his assertion that Smith visited the office of J. P. Morgan in an attempt to ar- range for a loan for the building of the Empire State Building in New York, Although Bishop Michael J. Galla- gher of the Detroit Diocese, Coughlin's ecclesiastical superior, said he did not believe that “Mr. Smith is a tool of Mr. Morgan or that his attitude on the money question was influenced by favors received,” he added that “Father Coughlin was justified in_concluding from the report he receivéd that Mr. Smith approached financial assistance.” Taking Orders From Pope, In a statement Wednesday Father Coughlin said. “Now that Alfred Smith and Msgr. Belford (pastor of the Church of the Nativity at Brooklyn, N. Y.) have practically painted me as a radical and the latter has painted my bishop as be- ing more radical than I, why don't they ccmplete the trinity and put the Pope in our class? He is the man from whom we are tdking our orders.’ Bishop Gallagher yesterday said that he planned no steps to restrain Father Coughlin from pursuing the controversy. “No heresy has been preached,” he said. “Father Coughlin in his addresses advocating the principles set down Leo XIII and Pius X. He is perfectly justified in doing that.” In his reiteration of York remarks about Smith, Father Coughlin enlarged upon them to add the state- ment that in opposing the monetary policies of the President, “Smith has written his own obitu: notice in lin of Mr. Morgan f 1s N Declared “Banking Minded.” He again voiced a belief that Smith is the “outstanding Catholic layman of this country,” but added that -Alfred E. Smith is banking minded—he can- not wriggle from the rock which he has cast upon his own head—a letter which he published insinuating that President Roosevelt and those who are him in attempting to fr this Nation from the financial sla which. consciously or unconsciot the Smiihs, the Baruchs, the Spragues and the Warburgs are supporting— namely that the President is a crackpot and so am L” Father Coughlin announced his deter- mination to carry on a campaign against the men who he said, “Because they hold and control money are able also to govern credit and determine its allotment.” “I have gone so far and intend 8o still further,” he said, “in poin my finger at the very individuals wh> concentrated wealth and who welded link by link, the economic chain which has bound us to the floor of a he poverty.” Refuses to Remain Silent. He continued: “Should a Cathol priest remain silent when the financ structure of this Nation and of t whole standard world has not only m erably failed to function but has be a direct cause of impoverishing m lions and of threatening the cis tion which is ours? “For entering into the contest secure figancial freedom for the pecple of this country, and as a matter of fact for the people of the world, I stand accused today by an eminent cleric and likewise by an eminent statesman of making a soapbox use of my pulpit and of interfering in matters that do not ertain to a priest. “I suppose if Jesus Christ appeared upon the streets of New York, not only to commiserate the poor, but to encour- age them to drive the meney changers out of the temple, certain scribes and pharisees—perhaps a high priest or two—would re-enact a sordid hjstory attributetd to Annas and Caiphas. “Does anybody doubt for a second that the citizens of this world have been | victimized by the internaticnal banker that wealth has been accumulated into the hands of the few; that currency and credit have been manipulated:” OBERLIN CENTENNIAL TO BE OBSERVED HERE Alumni of College Will Take Part in Celebration Sunday.
