In addition, the bill removes several present restrictions upon the Issuance of government .securities, provides that any type ol\ government obliga tion may be purchased with any other tyi»e. that securities issued may be sold privately, and authorizes the is- sunnee of $1’,600.000.(MM) additional treasury notes. It was expected that President Roosevelt would act quickly In deval uing the dollar and setting up the sta bilization board. itions to President Lebrun, being unable longefr to withstand the storms of attacks resulting from the Bayonne bond swindle. Former President Gas, tbn Doumergue was entreated to ac cept the premiership,\ but refused on the ground that he is too old to head the government in such a critical time Harriot and baladler, both former premiers, were the next posslbtlltl but-it was feared both hatT too political enemies, though they a spected and have clean records/ How ever, Dalwdler, nndnrtnnk the f b Of the point that the bill would not pro vide a federal unemployment insur ance plan, concerning which there might be some question of legality.

Vice chancellor Fey promptly gave his approval ta the prince’s order, and added: “This Is a final fight. It Is noW or never. Whoever ralsea^a hand Against the helmwehr must be struck Hown."

After reading the account of con'dl- tlons in New York's prison, "Welfare all IsiaiM," they will realize that the question Is not “Why cannot the United States cope with crime?" but "Why U not crime ten times worse than It Is?" The details concerning this prison, run by criminals, are Incredible. Some, regarding horrible depravity, are too dreadful to be mentioned.

Another defeat for Long was the finding of the congressional commit tee In the contest between Mrs. Boli var E. Kemp and Jared Y. Sanders for the spat of the late Representative Kemp. The “Klngtisfi" ardently sup ported Mrs. Kemp and the election was so replete with scandal that the committee recommended that neither aspirant be seated. The house adopt ed this report \ / measure for world wide rehabilitation of wheat by the establishment of a minimum scale of prices and exports. Its approval by the 21 nations adber- tnr to the International wheat pact was doubtful, apd at American head quarters it was declared that unless all countries were agreed the pact was doomed to failure. One European delegate took the view “it would put the Liverpool and Win nipeg exchanges out of business," but others stressed It would fix minimum prices only temporarily. Other perma nent measures to boosT prices would Influence speculation In futures, they contended.'
