MILLSCALLSN.RA PERIL TO LIBERTY b“Philosophy Underlying New Deal Cannot Be Squared With Americanism.” ‘By the Associated Press. BRUNSWICK. Me, Aprii 19— Ogden L. Mills, former Secretary of ‘the Treasury, said last night the phi- Josophy underlying the New Deal could not be “squared with the basic principles of Americanism.” He termed such philosophy a chal- Jenge to constitutional liberty. ;. Striking out at the “blue print era 1n government,” he told the Bowdoin iCollege Institute of Politics it meant /“the end of economic freedom and ultimately the death of Democratic ‘Institutions.” . “They inevitably break’ down,” he #aid, “under the new and unintended /[duties imposed upon them. Arbitrary wer necessarily grows. It soon ex- fpands beyond the economic domain. “Freedom of speech and of press dis- xppur.“ L “No Middle Ground.” . He said there could be no middle ground between a free country and a +gocialistic one. “Economic liberalism cannot func- tion under constant and arbitrary government interference,” he said. | “Evidence of the resulting breakdown accumulates dally. A civilization built upon the private ownership of property cannot survice the destruc- tion of the substance of ownership.” The depression, he asserted, has been “prolonged by the experiments | ‘borrowed from the Fascis. labora- tory.” “We have had a so-called planned ecenomy for the past two years. The farmer has been regimented,” he con- ‘inued. “Food products have been destroyed.” Crops Problem Unsolved. “yet the problem of excessive crops of certain staple crops has not been #olved, since the administration glected to keep potential production Hlive by withdrawing from produc- tion good and bad lands alike, in- stead of retiring the high cost of marginal lands.” He declared the competitive sys- tem had been “supplanted by & sort Bf centralized, benign management.” “The N. R. A. codes,” he said, “are fharters for the elimination of com- petition. Monopolies have been fos- tered. Small business has been harassed and crushed. Production has been restricted, new enterprises curtailed, capital intimidated, the heavy industries paralyzed and em- ployment discouraged.” BOY SHOT IN LEG Pistol Is Accidentally Discharged by Playmate.

C., FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1835. the company which accompanied him through the unfortunate Great Mead- ows campaign, and again a year later he established his headquarters here, recruiting and- drilling his faithful Virginians for. that great and dis- ’| | astrous ndventure known as the Brad- dock campaign. Hub of His Activities. For the next 40 years Washington was present at Gadsby's for military or civil conferences, for meetings with his neighbors, for functions of various sorts with members of the Masonic lodge, or to attend affairs of a purely soolal character—among which were the birth-night balls given in his honor —up to the time of his death. ‘Within this period Gadsby's Tavern had been the stage upon which had transpired a number of events of ma~ Jor importance to State and Nation. In 1763 Washington was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses from Fairfax County, of which Alexandria was then the county seat, and Gads- by's Tavern was then the center of the political as well as the social and military activities of the whole coun- tryside. In 1774 Washington was elected by the Continental Congress commander i chief of the Continental forces; soon followed the revolution. It was in Gadsby's, which was in the early years known as the City Tavern, that, in 1775, & meeting of the freeholders of Fairfax County was held, with ‘Washington presiding, at which the celebrated Fairfax County resolves were. adopled. These resolves blazed the way for the soul-stirring bill of rights and for the Declaration of In- dependence. The old tavern saw little of Wash- ington during the two terms when he served as President, but immediately upon his return to his beloved Mount Vernon, his visits were resumed and were frequent; on February 11, 1798, and again on February 11, 1799, the citizens of Alexandria and the sur- to him as the honored guest at the celebrated Birthnight ball. In the ington died. Thirty days prior to his death, Washington issued from the steps of Gadsby's Tavern his last military command. This was addressed to the local military companies which had passed in review before him.

The little town of Alexandria was but three years old when, in 1752, the tavern was built.
