5, E.C. HEADASKS FARUTILITIES PLAY Landis Says His Unit Wil Not Shrink From Test of Constitutionality. By the Associated Press. Chairman James M. Landis of the Becurities Commission called on the public utility industry last night to “play ball” in testing constitutionality of the New Deal's holding company act. Pledging freedom from “passion and prejudice,” the 36-year-old former Harvard professor said the commis- sion would not shrink from the con- stitutional test, but warned “there must be a controversy that is real | end not a sham.” The industry now is contesting the Jaw’s validity in the Baltimore Fed- eral Court. The commission is not 2 party to the case, although the court has refused a commission plea for delay. Wants Issue Localized. Landis said: “It is of the utmost importance to the Nation at large that the issue of jurisdiction and oli constitutionality should be localized,” | to involve only one or a very few | small companies rather than the whole | industry. | The chairman asked that care be | taken so there would “be no danger of | a general undermining of the confi- dence of the millions of investors and consumers, who are more concerned with the efficient discharge of our duties than the theoretical issue of | power.” He added: “In this manner, the constitutional | question can be solved with negligible | cost and an absence of injury to the public. By so doing, the major por- tion of the industry could be left free to take advantage of the opportunity, which we gladly offer, to co-operate with us in fashioning the mechanics of regulation. Practicable Machinery Seen. “Working together, we can create machinery which through insight, | smthered by a frank and continuing exchange of experience, will become practicable, effective and wisely at- tuned to the difficulties of the task.” Noting the commission's resolve to | remove utility abuses, Landis said, “I feel certain that the industry is simi- larly determined, save for those few whose removal from the scene will be &8s much a relief to the industry as| to the public.” He concluded: “Without vindictiveness, with an open mind, holding fast to funda- mental principles of rightness and conduct, let us reach for a business- like solution of the common problems before us, in order to further this in- dustry in its dynamic and expanding life, to make real the vision of public service that should be its being and to vindicate the hopes and confidence of the millions who contribute w0 its growth.” Politics ._wommued From First Page) generation to profit from improved methods.” Goes Into Utah Today. EN ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO BOULDER CAN- YON DAM, September 28 (#).—Over the wheat and corn fields of the nation’s “bread basket” President Roosevelt traveled today on his way westward after his brief stop at Fre- mont, Nebr. Officials of Nebraska, including Gov. Cochran and Senator Burke, | rode across the State on the all-day | Journey. They had lunch with Presi- dent and Mrs. Roosevelt. __ Tomorrow the presidential special passes through Ogden and Salt Lake City, Utah, and heads southward dcross Nevada for the gigantic Boulder ©Canyon Dam rising in the Colorado River. At noon Monday Mr. Roose- velt will deliver there what is re- garded as the major speech of his Westward swing to San Diego, Calif. To Speak in Hollywood, He goes from Boulder Dam to Los Angeles to speak informally on Tues- day at the Hollywood Bowl and thence to San Diego to talk again to the Nation over the air before setting out to sea to review the fleet. Gus Sumnick, Nebraska farmer and father of nine children, who was vis- ited by Mr. Roosevelt in 1932, rode with the President from Omaha to| Fremont today. At Grand Island, Neb., a crowd esti- mated at 12,000 persons cheered Presi- dent Roosevelt as he stopped for 11 minutes. In a brief talk, the President said he was pleased to see the improvement in this State as compared to three Yyears agod. He spoke from the obser- vation car of the train. q Leaders Board Train At North Platte, Neb., just at nightfall, Mr. Roosevelt was joined by Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming; Governor Johnson of Colorado; Sen- ators Costigan and Adams of Col- orado; Mayor Stapleton of Denver; Paul Prosser, Colorado Atiorney General, and John Carroll, Denver attorney. The Westerners said one of the first things to be discussed was the proposed $8,000,000 Caddoa Dam project on the Arkansas river. .. The group went immediately into discussion with the busy President in his private car at the rear of the train. A tremendous crowd surrounded $he spacious station grounds at North Platte.

FREMONT, Nebr., September 28.—The text of the speech of President Roosevelt here today fol- lows: I am glad to be in Nebraska again. It is almost exactly three years ago that I visited farms in this State and saw farmers thresh- ing 30-cent wheat and shelling 20-cent corn. Much has happened during the three years that fol- lowed. Then, the prices of farm products were falling lower and even lower as markets vanished and surpluses accumulated; farm buildings and equipment were de- teriorating month by month; soil fertility was being sapped as farm- ers struggled to raise enough bush- els to meet their debts and taxes. Country schools were closing, and, most disheartening of all, thous- ands of farmers were losing their homes by foreclosure. This was true not only in this part of the great West, but in practically every State of the Union—North, East, South and West. The man-made depression was, as we know, followed in many parts of the country by the most severe drought in our recorded history. I am taking the opportunity of stopping here in Fremont to de- liver to you a message of thanks. Through you I deliver that same message to farmers and farm fam- ilies throughout the Nation. We all know the heroic story of the pioneers. We know the hard- ships and the troubles they sufe fered. If ever we need demonstra- tion that the pioneering spirit that originally settled this country still lives, unshaken and undiminished, the farmers of America have proved it in the years through which we have just passed. I well realize the suffering and the deso- lation. I know the faith and hope, the patience and courage you have shown. For this I applaud you; for this I extend the thanks of the Nation to the fatmers of the Na- tion. Recalls Earlier Promise. Three years ago I did not prom= ise the millennium for agriculture, But I did promise that I should at- tempt to meet that intolerable sit uation in every way that human effort and ingenuity made possible. I said that I should do my best, and that if my efforts proved un« successful I should tell the country frankly and try something else. But that was not necessary. I was not meeting a theory, I was meeting a condition. Fore- most among the efforts of my ad- ministration when we came into office were practical means to im prove the situation on the farms of this country. I recognized in March, 1933, that efforts to im- prove agriculture should of neces- sity be twofold. We should at- tempt, first, to lift the immediate burdens by raising farm prices and by lightening the burden of ®ebt. Second, I pledged myself to long- term efforts extending beyond these immediate emergency meas- ures to stabilize American agri- culture by long-term planning. Even before I went to the White House I put into practice a theory which older and more cynical per- sons told me was impossible. Up to that time the farmers of Amer- ica had been unable to choose by any substantial majority between three or four plans aimed at re- storing farm purchasing power and farm prosperity. People in Wash- ington told me that you could never get farmers as a whole to agree to anything. Nevertheless, at the famous conference, repre- sentatives of every section of the country and of every farm organi- zation, held in Washington in the Spring of 1933, a very large major- ity of the farm leaders agreed on what you and I now know as the agricultural adjustment plan. This plan has been in operation for only two years and a half. You know its general results. You know that there have been many imperfections in it and that we still have much to learn in pro- viding better administration for it, in amending it from time to time, and in fitting it into world condi- tions, which each year show tre- mendous changes. Relation With Industry. ‘The plan itself was, as you know, based on the co-operative efforts of the farmers themselves and on the broad economic theory that the industrial part of the population of the Nation could not prosper and return people to work unless the agricultural part of the Nation were in a position to purchase the output of the industrial part. It was based on knowledge of the fact that for the farmers of the Nation the long, downhill road to depres- sion began not in 1929, but in 1920; that from that date on through the so-called boom days of the 1920's the debts of the farms and farmers mounted, while their assets and earnings slid down hill. Coming back to you after three years, I experience the extreme pleasure of recognizing that the co-operative efforts in which the farmers themselves, the Congress and my administration have en- gaged, have borne good fruit. The problem of the early days of the administration was not only to raise crop values from starvation levels, but also to save farm families from actual loss of their homes and their chattels. The burden of agricultural debt, it is true, has not been eliminated, hut it has been decisively and defi- nitely lightened. Loans have been made through the Farm Credit Ad- ministration to nearly half a mile lion farmers since May, 1933. These loans amount to more than $1,- 800,000,000. Eighty-seven per cent of this great sum was used to re- 2110 LeRoy Place FOR SALE: Magnificent home on LeRoy Place. 25 rooms. 5 baths. Exposure k3 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The annual interest saving of farmers whose debts have been re- financed is about one-quarter of the interest previously paid. Over 850,000 farmers are making savings this vear on interest alone of more than $55.000,000. The interest rate which farmers have to pay on the farm mortgage debts refinanced by the Farm Credit Administration is the lowest rate in history. Better Return for Products. My second effort in the imme- diate improvement of the farmer's position was to get him not only a relatively but an absolutely better return for his products. In ap- proaching this problem we moved on two fronts—first, to free our monetary system of bondage to a sufficient extent to permit money to serve the people rather than to force people to serve money. I deliberately chose to disregard those who said that before a bal- ance could be produced in our eco- nomic life, almost universal bank- ruptcy would be necessary through deflation. I held, as I now hold, that the appropriate measures to take were rather to improve prices, particularly in farm commodities, to such an extent that the things the farmer nad to sell would enable him to buy the things that he needed to support life and to afford him a fair degree of security. From the Summer of 1929 to the time when I took office in 1933 the prices of farm products—that is, the things that the farmer had to sell— had declined by 62 per cent, while the prices of the things the farmer had to buy had fallen 35 per cent. ‘Thus, the farmer, on the average, had to use twice as many bushels of wheat, twice as many bushels of corn, twice as many hogs, twice as many bales of cotton, twice as much of all of his products in order to buy the same amount of things that he needed. The closing of that gap was an important ob- Jjective of this administration, and we shall bend our efforts to hold the gains that we have made. The gap which was the measure of the farmer’s despair and distress, after two and a half years of effort, in large part has been closed. Many factors were involved in this readjustment. Our monetary policy was nne. The drought was another. Increased demand for products caused by the economic revival was anotHer, and the oper- ations of our Agricultural Adjust- ment Administration was still an- other. T need not tell you of the origins and the purposes and the methods of the agricultural adjustment act. ‘That is history, and, I submit, hon- orable history. Moreover, the farmers know how the act has worked. They know from the con- tents of their own pocketbooks that their income has been in- creased. The record is there to prove the case—an increase of $1,000.000,000 in farm cash incoms in 1933 over 1932, $1,900,000,000 increase in 1934 over 1932 and an estimated $2,400,000,000 increase in 1935 over 1932. That makes a total increase of $5,300,000,000 over what the farmers’ income would have been if the 1932 level had been continued. Is it surprising, in the light of this improved in- come, that the farm implement factories in Illinois and New York and the automobile factories of Michigan and the steel mills of Pennsylvania are springing into activity? Is it any wonder that smoke is pouring once more from chimneys long smokeless? Is it any wonder that workers long without regular jobs are going back to work? Now, with export sur- pluses no longer pressing down on the farmers’ welfare, with fairer prices farmers really have a chance for the first time in tHis genera- tion to profit from improved meth- ods. With agriculture on the way to a condition of prosperity, it is possible now for the farmers of the country, in co-operation with their Government, to look to the longer future. Sees Crop Rotation. Three years ago, in the desperate struggle to keep want from the threshold, farmers, no matter how much they might have wished to adopt cropping practices that would conserve and build the fer- tility of their soil, were compelled to raise more bushels of wheat and corn or pounds of coiton and tobacco than their land nroperly could sustain through the years. But with this compelling necessity now passed they can put scientific crop rotation systems into effect and save their soil fertility. That, my friends, is of equal interest in Pennsylvania and in Kansas and in Maine and in Georgia. The dust storms that a few months ago drifted from the Western plains to the Atlantic Ocean were a warhing to the whole Nation of what will happen if we waste our heritage of soil fertility, the ulti- mate source of our wealth and of life itself. I have not the time to talk with you in detail about what the Gov- ernment is trying to do to prevent soil erosion and floods, to encour- age forestation, to give people the opportunity voluntarily to move off submarginal land and on to ade- quate land where they can make both ends meet—in other words, to use every square mile of the United States for the purpose to which it is best adapted. That in its accom- plishment is a project of a hundred years. But for the first time in the history of the Nation we have started on that project, because for the first time we have begun to understand that we must harness nature in accordance with nature's laws, instead of despoiling nature in violation of her laws. Perhaps the most important gain of all ig the development of the farmer’s ability, through co-opera- tion with other farmers, to direct and control the conditions of his life. Programs now in effect under the agricultural adjustment act are planned and the farmers them- selves, through nearly 5,000 county production control associations, which are manned by more than 100,000 committeemen and which number among their members more than 3,000,000 adjustment contract #igners. The Government's part in this program is merely to supply the unifying element that the farmers themselves, in their past efforts, found so essential to suc- cess. That, it seems to me, is the true function of Government under our Constitution—to promote the general welfare, not by interfering unduly with individual liberties, but by bringing to the aid of the individual those powers of Govern- Demonstration ARVON | is adopted by the G. O. P. as a sub- the continuance of the inalienable rights which the Constitution is intended to guarantee. It is de- mocracy in the good old American sense of the word. £ Policy Is Evolving. ‘The Government's policy toward agriculture has been evolving ever since the time of George Wash- ington. I know it will continye to evolve and I hope no one thinks that the present machinery is per- fect and cannot be improved. ‘What counts is not so much the methods of the moment as the pathways that are marked out down the years. I like to think of the agricultural adjustment act not merely as & temporary means of rescue for a great industry, but as the expression of an enduring principle carved in stone by a Nation come to maturity—a Na- tion which has forever left behind the old irresponsible ways of its youth, & Nation facing the reali- ties of today and prudently taking thought for the morrow. I like to think that never again will this Nation let its agriculture fall back into decay, that instead the farmers of America will always be able to guard the. principles of liberty and democracy for which their farmer ancestors fought. I like to think that agricultural ad- justment is an expression, in con- crete form, of the human rights those farmer patriots sought to win when they stood at the bridge at Concord, when they proclaimed the Declaration of Independence and when they perpetuated these ideals by the adoption of the Con- stitution. Methods and machinery change, but principles go on, and I have faith that, no matter what attempts may be made to tear it down, the principle of farm equal- ity expressed by agricultural ade justment will not die. You who live in this section of Nebraska occupy what is very nearly the geographical center of the United States—as much land west of you as lies east of you, as much land north of you as lies south of you. It is, therefore, fit- ting that at this place I should | again pay tribute through you to the great farming population of the United States and those de- pendent on them for the splendid courage through long years of ad- versity which you have shown— to the ploneering spirit that would not quit, that mude the best of well-nigh hopeless conditions— that had enough faith in your- selves and in your country to keep your balance, your perspective, your good nature and your con- tinuing hope. Today you are marching along with heads still held high. Your hope has ma- terialized, at least in part. Your faith has been justified. Your courage has been rewarded. Roosevelt | has caused a tremendous rise in the received from taxes which fall more heavily upon wealth. A suggestion comes from some sources that farm aid might well be based on co-operation by the farmers in long-range planning for the pro- tection of the fertility of the land which they cultivate. After all, it is pointed out, the land has a very great and important value to future genera- tions. If it is used up, worn out, by the farming methods of the present owners or the owners of the imme- diate tomorrow, it will be of no value to the descendants of these farmers. Scientific rotation of crops, calculated to keep the land fertile, might, it is said, be onfe of the concrete demands upon farmers if they are to receive Government benefits, May Change Program. It is by no means beyond the realm | of possibility that some such plans | may commend themselves to the Roosevelt administration. Indeed, there is reason to believe the admin- istration already is giving careful thought to the possibility of improving and changing its farm program, get- ting away from the theory of crop curtailment as the principal basis for Government benefits. When it comes to the consideration of the export bounty plan as a substi- tute for the A. A. A, and crop curtail- ment, the question arises, where are the exports to be sold? In recent years, high barriers have been reared by foreign nations against American agricultural exports. Foreign markets for American produce have been enor- mously curtailed. Can these markets be regained by dumping American wheat and other farm exports at low prices into foreign countries? Coun- tervailing duties against such Amer- ican exports might readily check the export bounty plan and leave America holding the bag, without in effect giv- ing the American farmers much bene- | fit in the matter of higher prices. One of the problems to which the Republic- ans must give earnest study is the matter of regaining forelgn markets, if they are to back an export bounty plan. The other great issue of the coming | campaign is the reemployment of the | millions of unemployed. The Roose- velt New Dealers have sought to re- lieve this unemployment condition through the N. R. A, with its shorter work week, and through public works | of many kinds. The N. R. A. has | been declared unconstitutional by the | COAL BOARD ACTS 10 REVAMP PRICES Hosford Named Chairman of New Bituminous Commission. By the Associated Press. The soft coal industry soon will undertake the gigantic task of set- ting up a new price stiucture. The first move in this direction came yesterday with the election of Charles F. Hosford, jr., of Pittsburgh as chairman of the new Bituminous Coal Commission. This five-man board created by the Guffey coal stabilization act is to supervise the marketing provisions or that measure setting up a “Little N. R. A” for the bituminous In- dustry. To Start Work On Code Hosford, in a formal statement, said the comission would under- take formulation of the code of fair competition the act provides for, be- ginning work this week on the rules for election of the district boards to fix coal prices. Prices must be aproved by the com- mission before they are effective. They are to be .correlated between districts. “The commission fully sympathizes with the industry’s desire that it organize as soon as possible,” Hosford told operators and miners at the commission’s first formal meeting, “and invites your fulest co-operation in solving your problem.” Hazard District Accepts. The United Mine Workers an- nounced yesterday that the Hazard production district in Kentucky had accepts the Appalachian agreement to end the strike Tuesday. This acceptance left only Ten- nessee, Virginia and Harlan County, Ky., unsigned. The four districts refused to sign Tennessee demanded a 40-cent dif- ferential on day rates under the re- mainder of the Southern Appalachian Supreme Court. The spending of bil- lions of dollars on public works has given employment to some of the un- employed, but it still leaves millions | out of work and on relief. It also ! public debt, with the promise of great- ly increased taxation upon those who do work. What substitute for the N. R. A. and the public works program | have the Republicans to offer? Problem Up to Industry. The unemployment problem is one not only for the Republican party, but for industry itself. If it is to be solved, the Republican leaders say— | and so do the Democrats—private in- dustry must take up the slack. The Republicans argue that improved con- ditions can be brought about by assur- ing business that there is to be no more hampering and centrolling leg- islation, that there is tc be no more tampering with the currency, and by elimination of great governmental ex- penditures. All of this may be true, but it must be put into more concrete | i | (Continued From First Page.) farmers already sends cold chills down the backs of Eastern Republican con- servatives. But the West does not look at the situation that way. The men from the agricultural sections | point out that the industrial East has had for generations the benefit of high protective tariffs. They in- tend to have a balancing system for the protection of the farmers of wheat and other basic crops of the nation. Reward for Producing. There is a growing feeling in Re- publican quarters that whatever plan stitute for the A. A. A. must call for rewards to the farmers for what they do and what they produce, rather than for what they do not do and what they do not produce. It is bet- ter psychology to pay a farmer or any one else for what he accom- plishes instead of paying for some- thing he does not do. | Furthermore, such a plan would be less subject to criticism by the gen- eral consuming public. Payments to the farmers running into hundreds of millions of dollars for not produc- ing crops are criticized by millions of consumers, they say. especially when these consumers find the prices | of pork and other things they hl\'!: to eat skyrocketing. | Just what form such a plan would take has not yet been divulged. Nor bow it would be paid for. But it ap- pears obvious that any plan must, in | the end, be paid for by some‘kind of | & tax which will reach all the con- sumers in the matter of higher prices, such as the present processing tax, or the old McNary-Haugen equalization fee, or else must be paid for out of the general revenue of the country. The processing tax is passed along to the consumers in higher prices. One of the criticisms levelled againgt it is that it hits the man and woman of little means and the poor much more severely than it does the man and woman of means.

As the campaign advances the Roosevelt New Dealers will point again and again to what was dore under | the N. R. A. to get ndustry going again and to give more employment. As they say to the farmers, Do you want higher prices for your produce? they will say to the industrial workers, Do you want higher wages? The Executive Committee of the Republican National Committee has this week completed a meeting de- signed to work out plans for an active campaign against the New Deal. It | was pointed out by Chairman Fletcher of the committee that it was not the part of the Executive Committee, nor of the National Committee, to formu- late programs and platforms for the party. But the Republicans sooner or later must face the fact that they will have to meet two main issues—farm aid and greater employment for the workers. Harrison E. Spangler, Republican national committeeman for Iowa, who has just been authorized by the Exec- utive Committee and Chairman Fletcher to take charge of the Re- publican Western headquarters in Chicago, announced before he left here Friday that he planned to open those headquarters October 15. From them will be conducted in large part the drive to win back the Western farm- ers to the Republican party. It is expected that before iong Republican replies to President Roosevelt's Fre- mont address will be forthcoming. BALL BANQUET IS HELD 15 Boys and Friends Honored at Friendship House.
