STRACHEY BEEINS || Nations Parade in New Murals Here WALLACE URGES DEPORTING BATTLE Hurries Back to Chicago for Preliminary Round With Government. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 14—Evelyn John &t. Loe Strachey, young British writer, hurried back to Chicago from Cleveland today for the preliminary round of his “fight to the finish” to prevent the Government from deport- ing him as a Communistic alien. Calling his arrest Tuesday night in suburban Glencoe as a “laughable error,” the former member of the British Parliament, who described himself as a “Communist drummer peddling Marxism instead of pink pills,” left the Ohio city at midnight last night to appear before Fred J. Schlotfeldt, immigration inspector, at 11 o'clock this morning. Order Comes as Surprise. ‘The Government'’s order for his ap- pearance today came as a surprise in view of a previous report that he was told when his bond was furnished vesterday that the hearing would not be held for about a week. Strachey, however, appeared unworried and took an opening shot at the Government's case by declaring in Cleveland that “it is a misunderstanding and a mis- take that the American capitalistic system makes in thinking that by | deporting a humble individual like myself it can save itself.” His main defense, said Hugh Miller, | executive secretary of the Civil Lib- erties Union, would be that his at- tacks upon the capitalistic system and his championship of Communist “eco- nomic doctrines” do not constitute an offense against the United States, but are nothing more than an “ex pression of a point of view." At- torneys for the union and others hur- ried to the writer's defense, including 11 members of the factulty of North- western University. The professors telegraphed Secratary of Labor Frances | Perkins their protests, and asserted Strachey’s arrest was based on the opinions of a “subversive’ minority which seeks to suppress free speech.” Repercussions Seen Here. Meanwhile, there were many other repercussions. A welter of talk about Communists was stirred up in Wash- ington, where the Strachey affair was both defended and attacked. | “It doesn't follow that because a person follows some economic theory | that he wants to take a bomb and wlow up the Capitol or the White jouse,” said Senator Cutting, Repub- | $hean, of New Mexico. “Ev J THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Lillian Gaertner Palmedo Creates International Atmosphere for Washington Diners.

By the Associated Press A warning against United States Joining with other nations to make a loan to China was uttered in the Senate yesterday by Senator Lewis, Democrat, of Illinois, who said “to join in a joint loan is to inherit the sure enmity of both the borrower and our partners in the loan.” Lewis said “our country has had sad experience in lending our money to foreign nations.” “We lost our money and lost the | friendship of the nations to whom we lent the money,” Lewis said. “Now I Torcibly protest against our Nation Jjoining with Europe or Asiatic nations in a loan to either ASiatic or other foreign nations.” MRS. ROOSEVELT’S LIST DECLARED INCOMPLETE By the Associated Press. There seems to be some who feel that Mrs. Roosevelt's list of women who have been an inspiration to her was incomplete. The First Lady said yesterday that | since the list was published she had received letters suggesting the list should include the names of the late Mrs. Mary Rumsey, Ruth Bryan Owen, Minister to Denmark; Repre- sentative Isabella Greenway of Ari- zona and Representative Caroline O’Day of New York. Mrs. Roosevelt said she had tried to make ciear that her lisi was not inclusive and that she had carefully refrained from using these very names because they were such close SPECIAL NOTICES.

During the 18 months re- quired to complete the Zeigfeld com- mission, she contracted turpentine poisoning. but stayed on the job. Impressed by the amazing colorl sense displayed in her first public work, the Metropolitan Opera Co. employed the 19-year-old girl to de- sign costumes for five productions, ranging from “Johnny Spielt auf.” the drastically modernistic German opus, to Euripides’ “Electra.” The two New York commissions had pulled her fame. She was established as an artist. That meant fortune. She decided to celebrate by taking a vaca- tion with her husband, Harold Belke Palmedo, who is a cousin of Baron von Richtofen, the German war ace. They went off to the mountains together.

She remodeled and worked wondrous im- provements thereon. But it is still the memorial pile. Washington and environs are given entirely different color treatment from the rest of the owrld. The tones are quite light, pale greens and that sort of thing. Even the red bricks are hazily subdued. The marble buildings have lost their granite look. They seem molded out of a white mist.

But to carry the reduction below the present point would begin to re-| duce the quantity of stuff available | for the people here inside this country. That is not true in the case of cotton, | but, generally speaking, we say that a | reduction in production below that of this past year, when, of course, the | drought had a very great effect, would not serve to increase the farmers’ share | in_the national income. “We have reached the conclusion therefore, that it s exceedingly im- | portant, from the standpoint of giving | a greater income to agriculture that | there should be definitely an increased | output on the part of industry. * * * But it is also essential in turning out | | an increased quantity of goods that the price be such a price as will move the goods. Tax Limitations Defined. The Secretary explained that the farm program was an attempt to at- tain parity prices, but that “with the powers as now exisiing, it is doubt- ful if you could use a processing tax |tully and attain parity, for the closer you get to parity, the smaller the pro- | cessing tax is and, therefore, the less | incentive you can cive tihe iarmer to | hold down production.” He :greed | the tax must be supplemented in orcer to attain complete pariy Predicting that “by next Summer the price of meat animais will be so | high that there will be a greai out- |ery on ti part of the population in the cities,” Wallace acknowledged that even his “ever-normal granary” pro- {gram would not give “the very great | result you hope for” of stabilized farm | prices | He quickly denied that “we people | on the farms may as well resign our- | selves to peonage” or “never can expect | again to have a decent American stand- |ard of living” as his testimony was interpreted by Cannon. The latter said that if the farm standard were never to be equal to that of indus- try “it will become a disgrace to till the soil and the very name of farmer will be a reproach and a by-word.” Admits Problem Difficult. | “No,” Wallace replied, “I do not | | think it means that.
