Howard, piAilisher of the Scripps-Howard* newspapers, who reported fears of business men and asserted, “there is need to undo the dama«^ that has been done by misin- terpreters of the new deal.” In perhaps his most complete ex position of his administration and hit ideas for the future, the president said he claimed no “magician’s wand,” biit “we do claim that we have helped to restore that piiblic confidence which now offers so substantial a foundation for our recovery.” “I take it,” he wrote, “that, we are all not merely seeking, but getting the recovery of confidence, not lAerely the confidence of a small jjroup, but that basic confidence on the part of the mass of our population, in the soundness of our econoinic life and in the honesty and justice of the pur poses of its economic ftiles and meth ods.” . , Howai'd'discarqed hostility from “fi nancial racketeers, public exploiters, and the sinister, forces spawned by special privilege,,” but asserted that many business men of ’V^^triotism and sense of public service” believed the wealth fa;t bill “revenge on business” and expected “a recess from further ing on funding bonds of th^ Town of Clinton, bearing date June Ist, 1925, and issued under authorization of elec tion held on the 26th dgy of May, 1925, and to create a sinking fund to be used in retirement and payment of safd bonds.

President Roosevelt tonight. .Officials in <d)arge\of the veterans' camps on the keys cannot.be charged with any “culpable delay” jn arrang ing evacuation of |he camps, Williams said, because “weather bureau reports up to and through Monday morning indicated that the situation was not at all alarming.” —' He made it clear he was not con demning the weather bureau because lack of sufficient reports to it from the storm area made it impossible to kwate definitely the hurricane center at all times. Williaiins indici^d. he would sup port GoVemor Dave Sholtz’s plans to urge upon President Roosevelt expan sion of the hurricane warning system. Just across Biscayne boulevard from the hotel room in which Williams talk ed with reporters, memorial se^ices were held for the war veterans killed in the Labor day hurricane. High officials of all Unde Sam’s armed forces gathered in beautiful Bayfront park to pay tribute to the storm victims, many of whose bodies were being turned, into ashes in scat tered fires fifty miles to the south west on the Florida keys. FERA crews worked through the night, seeking out bodies that have hung in trees or lain in tangled debris for nearly a week. As the bodies were found they were doused in oil and burned on . the spot.

Ray Sheldon, assistant director of the' Veterans’ camps, who was in charge on the keys, became alarmed as early a» last Sunday morning and began then efforts to arrar^ early evacuation, the report said. But dei^iite Sheldon’s presentment of danger Sunday, a special train to IS Known as consumers namely, the invisible taxes paid by people in every walk of life, fall rela tively much more heavily upon the poor man than on the rich man. “In 1929, consumers’ taxes repre sented only 30 per cent of the nation al revenue., Today they are 60 per cent, and even with the passage of the recent ta;c hill the proportion of these,consumers’ taxes will drop only 6 per cent.” , “This administration,” he continued, “came into "p^er pledged to considerable t^islative program found the condition of the country as to require drastic and far-reaching ac tion. Duty and necessity required us to move on a broad front for more than two years. “It seemed to the congress and to me 'better than not only business but the public generally might know those modificatioAs in the conditions and rules of economic enterprices which were involved in our program. — “TJhis basic program, however, has now reached sufaetantial completion and the ’breathing spell’ of which you speak is here—very decidedly so. “I do not claim that government alone is responsible for these definite ly better circumstances, but we all know the very great effect of the sav ing of banks, of farms^ of homes, the building of public works, the providing of relief for the destitute, and many other direct governmental acts for thr betterment of conditions.” “In the large,” Mr. Roosevelt wrote, “the depression was the culmination of unhealthy, however innocent, arrange^ lYlents in agriculture, business and in finance. , ’ “Our le^slation was remedial, and as such, it would serve no purpose to make a dectrinate effort to disting uish between that which was address ed to reeove^ and that whidi was ad- dressedf to refoi^.

Hopes were eiqiress- ed for coneidernhly increased exports, apparently based on estimates that the Bnuilisn crop this year would be about 500,000 bales instead of about 1,000,000 bales as-estimated earlier. The conetructibn corporation an nounced during the day a $100,000,000 loan to the commodity credit corpor ation for the 10-cent loans which will bear 4 per cent interest. In doing"*so, Jesse H. Jones, RFC chairman, said: “It is estimated that very little of this year’s crop will be borrowed upon and that the commodity credit corpor ation will not need as much as $100,' 000,000 at any one time for this pur pose.'If, however, that amount , or even more is needed, it will be available.” Jones said the credit corporation now owes the corporation on its 12- cent loam, including loans yet to be taken up, $270,000,000. He added: “Commodity credit corporation has announced thkt it will not permit icot- ton under the 12-cent loan to be^sold for less than the amount loaned upon H,. plus carrying charges, which now approximates 13 1-2 cents. This fact, together with the reasonably low gov ernment estimate released today, should insure normal' moving of the entire 1936 crop.” Details of the administration’s plan to pay a subsidy of not more than 2 cents per pound on cotton produced under the individual Bankhetul pllot- ment offleialM said, await final ap proval. This plan, which would pro vide a paymefiit ^ the.differeYKe be tween the daily average* price and 12 cents, is expected to -be announced this week. ' The August 1 estimate of the crop was 11,798,000 bales. The crap report ing board said that most of the decline since then has occurred in Teiuui where the forecast was 884,000 bales less than a month ago was the major factor in the decline. A drop of 59,000 bales was indicated for Gklahoma. Continued dry-weather and excessive insect, damage were blamed. Increouied yields were estimated for some states. Officials noted that last fall, when the 1935 cotton program was drafted, the^ plan was based upon *an estimated production of 11J500,000 this year. That was what the agriculture de partment wanted. The Bankhead allot ment for the nation was 10,500,000 balaa, but an allowance was made lor weather eondkiona and other chandee which might taka place..
