PRESIDENT AND CABINET BUSY
WITH DROUTH AREA HELP-
SILVER IS NATIONALIZED
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
<£), Western New*»pap«r Union.
DRESIOENT ROOSEVELT ended
* his rather long vacation trip, re¬
turning to his home in the White
House. During the remainder of the
summer and until con¬
gress meets he will
spend gome time In
his Hyde Park resi¬
dence and In Warm
Springs, Ga. but most
of the time he will be
In Washington, busy
with the nation’s af¬
fairs in his temporary
office which has been
established in the lilue
President room of the White
Roosevelt House. The executive
offices are being re¬
modeled and enlarged. One of the
first matters to claim the President’s
attention Is the modification of Nit A.
The secret cabinet committee he up
pointed to inquire Into the legality
and advisability of continuing and ex¬
tending tiie price fixing features of
NltA lias decided tills price fixing
should lie restricted and gradually
alMindoned, and there Is little doubt
that this advice will be followed.
Whether or not the fixing of prices Is
legal, it tins brought sharp and con¬
tinuous criticism from Senator Borah
and many others which has not been
relished by ttie New Dealers.
On his way from the west coast the
President not only saw some of the
great public works projects of the
Northwest, but also passed through
regions that have suffered severely
from the drouth. So he Is backing up
the government agencies In their
work of hurrying vast sums of gov¬
ernment money to the arid regions to
ease the human suffering and also to
lessen the chances of another such
catastrophe. The public works admin
Istration, which had an original ap
propriation of $3,300,000,000, revealed
it had spent about $400,000,000 on
projects to aid Impoverished western
families.
Emergency relief administration of¬
ficials announced they had allotted
huge sums to feed men and women.
They also irnve spent thousands to
cure for starving cattle.
Public Works Administrator Har¬
old L. lckes, wlio was on an Inspec¬
tion tour in the drouth area, ordered
his forces to expedite all construction
projects affecting the? dry regions.
RATIONALIZATION 4 ' thorlzed by the last of congress, silver, nu-
was
ordered Into effect by the President.
'I'llis will have little immediate effect
on the average citizen, though the
move is somewhat inflationary and
started prices on the up-grade. Big
debtors and owners of silver mines
will benefit, hut as the value of the
dollar goes down, the holders of se¬
curities and loans suffer loss.
The President's order directs the
surrender to the government of all
silver bullion and bars within fK) days,
the price to be paid being 50.01 cents
an ounce. Silver coins and silverware
are not Included. Under the silver
purchase act the treasury Is author¬
ized to value the silver it obtains at
$1.29 an ounce and to issue silver cer¬
tificates on that basis. The government
proposes to hold enough silver to make
up 25 per cent of the metal backing of
the national currency. No one knows
how much silver bullion there is in the
United States, and it may be neces¬
sary to make considerable purchases
In China and India,
VITlTH the sanction of the Amerl-
’ » can Federation of Labor a strike
was called in the plants of the Alumi¬
num Company of America, which is
controlled by Andrew W. Mellon, for¬
mer secretary of the treasury, and
Ills family. Six of the plants, at New
Kensington, Arnold and Logan’s Fer¬
ry, Pa„ Alcoa, Tenn.; East St. Louis,
111., and Massena, N. Y„ were closed,
and those at Fairfield, Conn., and
lladen, N. C„ were about to sliut
down. The company normally em¬
ploys about 15,000 persons. Proposals
offered by the workers’ representa¬
tives late in July were flatly rejected
by the company.
Company and union officials each at¬
tached different interpretations to the
proposals. Boy A. Hunt, president of
the aluminum corporation, insisted his
concern would never consent to ttie
•‘closed shop” request of the em¬
ployees.
Labor officials denied they had
asked for a "closed shop." William
Green, president of the A. F. of L.,
asserted the strike call went out only
after workers fulled to obtain the
right of “collective bargaining" by
peaceful means.
In addition to turning down what it
termed a "closed shop" proposal, the
Melton concern likewise refused their
employees a “-check-off" system for
collecting union dues, higher wages,
and seniority rights.
/NN'E thousand men and women com-
prising the Minneapolis Protec¬
tive committee telegraphed an appeal
to President Roosevelt to protect the
constitutional rights now superseded
by martial law in their city. Copies
of the appeal were sent also to Secre¬
tary Perkins and Lloyd Garrison,
chairman of the National Labor Rela¬
tions board.
" We are satisfied,** they wired,
an agreement between W ployers
employees could be reached were
not for the interference by a
body of citizens known to be
ist agitators who are being
in their agitations by the
attitude of Gov, Floyd B. Olson.”
At the end of the statement was

Father Francis J. Haas and E.

The conciliators were authors of

with alacrity because it granted
maximum of tiie demands made

by the employers, but mediation
ceeded until the principal point of
ference now concerns the rehiring

HAVANA workers and dockers at
D the port of Llraon struck for high¬
er wages, and the situation was so
dangerous that martial law was pro¬
claimed In the province. The Costa
itican government blames the trouble
on Communists. The workers claim
that the recent agreement between the
government and the United Fruit com¬
pany has killed the opportunity of the
banana planters to secure a decent
relurn for tlie labor provided.
Manuel Mora, Communist member
of the Costa Rican congress, admitted
frankly that the strike had been
planned and was being directed by the
Communist party “as a matter of pol¬
icy and duty.”

BRISBANE
THIS WEEK
Herr Goebbels Brags
One American at Rest
' Mother Was ’’Mean ’
Another Hapsburg
In Berlin, Herr Goebbels, minister
of propaganda, praising Hitler, says,
“There will be no kaiser or king.” He
might have added that none is needed,
since in Hitler Germany lias u kaiser,
king and dictator, "tliree-in-one.” Herr
Goebbels boasts; "Hitler does not
start, the day asking ‘What do lead¬
ing bankers say?’ Rather, bankers be¬
gin ttie day asking ‘What does Hitler
say?’ ”
Oermany has no monopoly of that
condition, Herr Goebbels will be sur¬
prised to hear how many bankers and
other gentlemen in this country, who
once thought they had money, begin
the day asking, “What does Roosevelt
say?”
One American at least is out of his
troubles forever. .Mr. Mediock, forty-
eight years old, rents cotton land in
Greenville county, South Carolina, and
thought he knew how much cotton he
ought to plant to pay rent for his farm.
After he had finished planting, govern¬
ment inspectors measured his cotton
fields and ordered him to plow under
three acres. He had gone beyond his
allowance. Mediock complained to his
family for two or three days, then
went behind the barn and shot himself
through the heart, deciding that he, In¬
stead of the excess cotton, should be
"plowed under."
Little Nora Ruth Niciforos may with
confidence recite the prayer: “For¬
give us our trespasses, as we forgive
those that trespass against us.” Be¬
cause she had been disobedient, her
mother, as shown in court, held the
six-year-old child's fingers over a gas
flame, "burning them severely.” The
child's mother, sentenced to 35 days in
jail, was freed wiien the little girl told
the judge: "I love my mommy. I
was a bad, bad girl and picked things
up after she told me not to. She never
was mean to me before." It is to be
hoped that the mother will never be
“mean” to her again.
Prince Von Starhemberg, in a pri¬
vate conference, saw Dictator Musso¬
lini, and gossips suggest that Mussolini
will encourage Austria to restore a
Hapsburg, the young Otto, to Austria’s
throne.
otto, young heir of the Hapsburgs,
Is extremely good looking, would deep¬
ly interest any movie director.
But, why people as intelligent as
tlie Austrians should think of taking
on another Hapsburg after what the
last Hapsburg did to them is bard to
understand.
There is little enough left of Austria
now. Do lhe Austrians want Italy or
Germany to take that little, or divide
It between them?
Never adopt a plan unless you know
all about it.
William Bryant, in the Louisiana
penitentiary, read about Dillinger’s
“escaping from prison with the aid of
n toy pistol, made of wood, terrorizing
guards by the dozen, taking away their
weapons.”
A newspaper clipping about that
pistol was found on Bryant’s body
after he had been shot dead, trying
the same “wooden pistol" escape
method.
Bryant and bis fellow convict, Wil¬
liam Chandler, whittled out two toy
pistols—two surely would be better
than one. They and eleven other con¬
victs that followed them were all
killed, wounded or caught.
It is a pleasure to hear from the
United States Chamber of Commerce
that there are “only” seven millions
out of work in this country. Mr.
Green union labor head, says ten mil¬
lions, but the chamber says that is
“exaggeration.”
On tlie other hand, statistics show
that one family in every ten in New
York city is "getting home relief,"
which is our substitute expression for
the dole. In New York 671.866 persons
ar.i on the dole, 7,939 more than the
previous highest record. That does
not indicate diminished unemployment.
Government says it will “bar profi¬
teering" on food, following the drouth.
Many administrations have said that,
many times, but there is no “bar.”
Where there is a scarcity there will
be profiteering, and there is a scarcity.
Secretary Wallace says it will In¬
crease the cost of living 6 to 7 per
cent next winter.
Sikorsky, who made the biggest pas
senger plane now flying successfully,
the S-42 Brazilian clipper, predicts
“50-ton aircraft,” three times as big
as S-42.
The 50-ton, heavier-than-air ship will
come, pass and seem like a toy com¬
pared with real airships of the future.
Columbus, in his tiny caravel, might
have predicted a sailing ship 100 feet
long. He could not have dreamed of
a ship T,0iX) feet long, driven by steam.
The San Francisco Chamber of Com¬
merce, reasonably, objects to removal
of tlie government’s gold from Cali¬
fornia to Colorado, with “earthquake
hazard” offered as an excuse. Cali¬
fornia wonders, if the government’s
real reason was fear of attack from
across the Pacific, why it does not say
so.

National Topics Interpreted
by William Bruckart
Washington.—Tlie administration at
last has taken advantage of lhe au¬
thority given tlie
Silver Chief Executive ivy
Problem congress in the sil¬
ver purchase law
and has "nationalized” silver. It lias
placed itself in tlie position where it
becomes virtually the sole purchaser
of silver In the United States and from
which position it controls, by license,
the release of silver stocks for use in
industry and tlie arts.
Mystery still surrounds the promul¬
gation of the nationalization order.
Secretary Morgenthau at tlie treasury
has continued to hold the reasons
therefor within his own breast and
the result is that a thousand and one
Interpretations have been placed on
the action. The action, like so many
having to do with the currency, lias
proved disconcerting, first because of
the secrecy surrounding it and second¬
ly because it has in a way added un¬
certainty tn many lines of commercial
endeavor.
That it is inflationary in character,
there can be no doubt. Tlie extent,
however, is another matter and one
about which experts disagree. It will
mean the obvious flotation of addi¬
tional silver certificates in response to
tiie amount of silver acquired and
stored by the treasury. This fact
doubtless will frighten many persons.
Followers of the administration, how¬
ever, have taken fresh heart from the
action and the nationalization order
gave such inflationists as Senator
Thomas, the Oklahoma Democrat,
cause for great Joy although the sen¬
ator believes the inflationary policy
should be extended almost to the point
of free printing press operation. In
business circles, as that opinion is re¬
flected in Washington, there has been
a determined stand taken already
against what these men fear to be an
important move toward uncontrolled
and unrestrained inflation.
The best opinion I have heen able
to obtain—it amounts to a consensus
of authorities in whom f have faith—
Is that the action just taken on silver
in and of itself will not be disastrous
Ttie danger, so I am informed, lies,
therefore, not in the purchase of silver
and the issuing of silver certificates
but in tlie potentialities of the move¬
ment. There can be no doubt that
once the silver movement gets
thoroughly underway that It is only a
short step, easily taken, to the use of
printing presses and fiat money.
It will be recalled that Mr. Roose¬
velt said in his Inaugural address that
he would support an “adequate and
sound currency." In the opinion of
many observers If he goes no further
than the recent silver order he can
still find Justification for repeating his
Inaugural declaration.

Obviously the devaluation of the dol¬
lar taken about this time last year has
proved inadequate to
Hope to accomplish price in-
Boost Prices creases to the 1020
level — a promise
which Mr. Roosevelt frequently made
during his campaign. His advisors ad¬
mit with some freedom that tlie gold
reduction program has not forced tlie
anticipated price boost. This being
true, it is only natural as many ob¬
servers hold that the move regarding
silver is intended to supplement th°
action which cut the gold content of
the dollar from one hundred rents to
slightly helow sixty cents. Whether
this further change in the monetary
structure will accomplish tlie desired
price level, of course remains to lie
seen. Administration leaders are hope¬
ful. Old-time sound money men and
the conservative thought of the coun¬
try are distressed.
In some quarters I hear a discus¬
sion of the silver action which places
the possible interpretation upon it that
if is nothing more than a confiscation
of commercial stocks of bar silver at
n price arbitrarily fixed by the govern¬
ment. Among tills school of thought
some hold to the opinion in addition
that the step is not particularly sig¬
nificant.
Fellow observers, I believe, pretty
generally have accepted the silver na¬
tionalization as having been partly due
to the serious agitation for inflation
a bo at which I reported several weeks
ago. It is easy to understand how tills
would come about and why the date
of August 9 was selected for promulga¬
tion of the new order. Out through
tiie drouth stricken areas and in in¬
dustrial sections where employment
is seasonal, summer doldrums of the
first order are existent. Discontent
along with distress always has and
probably always will breed radicalism.
The inflation agitation now surely can
be said to be fostered mainly by the
left wing and the more radical of tlie
politicians. Would it not then he only
natural that, having tlie power accord
ed him under tlie silver act. Mr.
Roosevelt should seek to alleviate
this condition by utilizing the dis¬
cretionary authority for acquisition of
silver?

As one who lias spent some eighteen
years as a writer on business and
financial topics, it seems to me that
probably tiie worst effect from tlie si],
ver nationalization order is the added
uncertainty which it creates. Tlie
thing that business generally is recog¬
nized as Deeding most is assurance and
security. Mr. Roosevelt has repeated¬
ly made this statement and it may
he that later on he will explain how
the silver order provides some new
security.
In the meantime the sudden acquisi¬
tion by the government of all the sil¬
ver stocks has provided a nice profit
for holders of domestic silver and has,
through vided the pyschological effect, pro’
an equally nice profit for the
owners of common stocks of corpora¬

result was natural and, therefore, to
be expected.

The Federal Housing administration
newest and regarded by many as the
most potent of the
FHA Makes alphabetical organ!-
Rapid Strides ,/,a tdons. has made
rapid strides In the
last few weeks toward getting set for
operation. To my mind, three men
have been responsible chiefly. These
are James A. Moffett, the administra¬
tor, Ward Canady, his assistant, and
Lambert St. Clair. The latter came
down from New York on a loan from
his own outfit but the fact that he is
here three days and in New York three
days each week has not appeared to
lessen his accepted value as an or¬
ganizer.
The law under which the housing
administration operates was drafted
for the purpose of enabling household¬
ers to make repairs and do the other
odd jobs around a residence ami small
business building which so easily are
allowed to go undone during periods
when money is not flowing freely. It
is countrywide in its scope, it will
operate through the medium of the
banks and local organizations and it
is the firm conviction of the officials
charged with this responsibility that
offers to loan money will coroe from
the banks in greater number now that
a federal agency is prepared to "in¬
sure” the note which the borrower
gives.
It must be understood that these
loans are not going to be made with
reckless abandon; the prospective bor¬
rower must, after all, have some sup¬
port financially and must he able to
show that there is a reasonable chance
of repayment. But the point is that a
national campaign is about to get un¬
derway which will awaken, it is hoped,
hundreds of homeowners to the fact
that the roof needs repairing or the
front porch steps are in bad shape or
that paper or plumbing should be
looked after. several
The law apparently has left
openings which did not appear to
those who drafted it. For example
one of the housing officials told me
that he could see no reason why a
farmer would be precluded from build¬
ing a pond on his land with the aid o
loans under the act. It occurred to me
that this suggestion was very timely
because it is certain that if more farm?
had had ponds on them a considerable
amount of live stock could have been
watered during this current drouth-
I do not assume that tlie housing m
ministration is going to make an e
pecial drive for a pond on every at
