N.R.A. EDICT SEEN AIDING RECOVERY Taber Declares Death of Codes Gives “Golden Opportunity.” By the Associated Press Representative Taber, Republican. of New York, said today that if the administration permits N. R. A. to remain dead the country will return to & prosperity in which every able- bodied man will have a job at good wages. Taber, a critic of New Deal spend- ing and advocate of a balanced bud- get, said indus- try is holding its breath to see if the administra- tion “is going to take advantage of this golden op- portunity to bring back recovery.” “Under the N. R. A.” the New Yorker declared, “wages have been lower on the average. A high- er hourly rate was paid, but what good was that to a worker if his hours were cut until he couldn't make as much as before, and to the worker who did not have a job? Gradual Adjustment Seen, “Freed of the hampering restric- tions that beset small business, par- ticularly, under the N. R. A. pro- cedure, they will be free to go ahead. and will. Of course, it will not be possible to pay everybody all he is worth at the outset, but that will be worked to gradually and in due time as industry is given the opportunity to rebuild. And I am convinced—I know—that if that is permitted, in good time every man who wants work, | aside from those handicapped men- | tally or physically, will be able to! oreover, these operations have | continually reduced the standards of living, which can only be re-estab- | lished when people again are profitably | employed.” As an instance of what he said business men had been waiting the chance to do for themselves. Taber cited a letter written, soon after the Supreme Court's invalidating decision by an officer in two or three manu- facturing enterprises. The officer said he had given the word to go ahead with some new machinery and other | developments that had been held in abeyance. Urges Balanced Budget. ‘Taber also would like to see most »f the $4,000.000,000 works fund held in the Treasury and applied to budget balancing. “There isn't a single thing on the works program.” he insisted. “outside of highways and grade crossings and & few sewers in the cities, that is going to provide any emplovment whatever for those on relief rolls. All this money for soil erosion and reclama- tion will be spent in areas where there is comparatively no unemployment problem.” Although he said he opposed the fole, Taber said that Britain's dole was but 125 per cent of this coun- try's outlay for the same ends. ILLINOIS C. OF C. ASKS | WAGES BE MAINTAINED Appeal Is Made to Retail Mer- chants and Other Employers | to Avoid Unrest. | B the Associated Press CHICAGO, May 31.--The mercan- tile division of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce today urged retail mer- chants and other employers to do all in their power to retain prevailing wages under code provisions. “The reduction of wages to any marked degree will breed discontent and arouse a certain amount of bit- terness which must be avoided,” said J. C. Spiess, chairman of the cham- ber's retail division in a statement forwarded to all members. | “Wage reductions would also be an indication of the truth of the often voiced charge that business cannot police itself and that the Government must. regulate it for the protection of the citizen.' NEW DEAL TOO BOOKISH, SAYS EX-GOV. MURRAY | Oklahoman Says Brain Trusters Manage to Learn Less as Time Goes On. By the Associated Press. LONGVIEW, Tex., May 31.—W. H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray, former Gov- | ernor of Oklahoma, defined a brain | truster yesterday as “a man who has | brainstorms and who more and more | learns less and less about anything practical.” He delivered a Memorial day ad- dress here, calling upon the Ameri- can people to stand by the Constitu- tion as the “only means of preserving the Republic for which the youth of the land gave its lives on the bame-i felds of France.” He attacked New Deal policies vig- orously, asserting that the trouble with the country is that it has be- come “too bookish, too theoretical.” Turning to Hugh S. Johnson, for- mer N. R. A. head, Murray said the general “knows no more about the Constitution than a jack rabbit—he reads it, but he does not under- stand it.” SPECIAL NOTICES.

HE songs of love which Wash- ington has heard from Lon- don during the past few days are pleasing to the American ear—especially after the many lambastings this country has had from British parliamentarians and | statesmen in conunection with the debt question.

That is to say toward the most important domin=- ions—Australia, New Zealand and | Canada. This policy required the | closest possible co-operation with | the United States. The other trend represented mainly by the Tory party was that Britain’s best customer was Europe. Conse- quently Britain’s efforts had o be guided toward an intimate co-op- | eration with that continent.

THE EVEN NG STAR. WASHINGTON, D. €. FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1935. This Changing World Washington Interested by “Songs of Love” of British Statesmen—Baldwin and Eden Soloists. Mussolini has made il plain in London and in Paris that nothing in the world can prevent him from conquering Ethiopia as soon as military operations become possi- ble. But, he intimated, if Selassie wants to accept the Italian pro- tectorate without fighting, 11 Duce was willing to offer him most pleas- ant inducements. ‘The British and French ministers point out to Selassie that the Sultan of Morocco is leading a perfectly happy life. He has all the advantages of a sovereign without having any of | the worries of ruling the country. The French are doing that for him. * Xk X X Selassie is being told that if he were to accept Italy’s protectorate he would still remain King of Kings. would pay him a handsome salary— much more than he is getting now— Jhe could visit the King of Italy in Rome where he would be received with royal honors and his personal body- guard—an army of several thousand men—would have the handsomest uniforms the world has ever seen. Selassie is hesitating; not that this offer is without temptation, but there are eight Kings, under his rule, who ‘would be only too glad to step into his shoes if he were to betray Ethiopia's independence. %ok % ‘The idea of holding a conference of the Danubian States had to be aban- doned. Its summoning was one of the most important results of the Stresa Conference. But after canvassing the | situation, Mussolini has found out | that it would be impossible to reach | an agreement between these five an- tagonistic countries and that the best | thing would be to leave them alone. For the time being Mussolini is concentrating on Austrig, and is helping her to organize an efficient army. Prince Starhemberg’s private army —the best in Austria—is being absorb- ed in the national forces. The prince who at one time was the wealthiest man in the republic is completely broke now; his troops cost him a lot of money and brought no income. It's fortunate for him that Mussolini is a loyal man. He gives the Austrian princling a handsome income—pro- vided he remains a good boy, and plays the Italian game. x ok x % Washington diplomats intend to abandon the lonz established custom of paying calls through their chauf- feurs, who leave visiting cards in the lettter box of people who had called on the different diplomats. The reason for this 1s that one chaufieur kept the cards of his em- ployer and after losing the job he used them to obtain credit in vari- ous stores and restaurants in Wash= ington. The chaufleur was a for- eigner, distinguished looking and with a sufficiently strong accent and nice clothes to be taken for a diplomat.
