was the question In
every mind, and, in
deed, there was some
slight danger that the
crime would start an
other great war. Alex
ander was Just begin
nlng a “good will"
visit in France, which
was closely tied up with Barthou’s plan
for an accord between France and
Italy, and Barthou was soon to go to
Romo to further the scheme. Jugo
slavia is allied to France but is not
at all friendly to Italy, and Alexander
hated Mussolini personally, believing
that the duce gave moral support to
the rebellious Croats. But the king
did not want war and was willing to
help along the proposed accord If it
was not Inimical to his country.
If trouble does follow after the as
sassinations It probably will start with
revolution in Jugoslavia. Only by as
suming and exercising dictatorial pow
ers was Alexander able to keep peace
in the hodgepodge that comprises the
Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes, otherwise Jugoslavia, and It
is not certain that there la anyone else
there who can do It. Civil war might
tempt some other nation to Intervene

case a general conflict might be pre

royal house, though all the people had
admired the strength and bravery of

siderable extent the alleged ambitions
of Mussolini. He was considered a
close friend of the relch and a^poten
dal ally. x
France was not only worried by the
possibility of trouble In the Balkans,
but also deeply mourned the death of
Barthou. one of her ablest statesmen
and. Indeed, one of the ablest In Eu
rope. He had been working assiduous
ly on his pet scheme of a security pact
for eastern Europe; and. although Ger
many had scored him for trying to
build a diplomatic and economic ring
about the relch. last June he personal
ly negotiated an accord between
France and Germany that waa believed
to give aaaurance of peace.
Petrus Kalemen, the assassin, who
was quickly killed by the French po^
lice, was found to have been traveling
on a forged Czech passport Two men
who accompanied him on his mission
of death were captured near the Swiss
border and another was being hunted
down In Fontainebleau forest W’here
they came from and what organization
was hack of the assassinations had not
been learned at this writing. The po
lice thought they belonged to a secret
Macedonian revolutionary society.

by the radical elements, starting
with ■ 24-hour general strike which
was declared by the Socialists and
Communists In an

northeast corner of
the country, decided
this was the time to Luls Companyt
establish Itself as an independent re
public. Luis Companyg, president of
the state, announced; "Catalonia Is
breaking off relations with the rest of
Spain. I demand complete discipline
from everyone." He called on Gen.
Domingo Batet, commander of the gar
rison at Barcelona, to swear allegiance
to the new regime, but that wily sol
dier sparred for time, and before an
hour had passed he received orders
from Madrid to declare a state of aiege
His troops battled with the Catalans,
and aoon had Companys and his fellow
leaders cooped up in the presidential
palace. Reinforcements for the gov
ernment forces arrived swiftly by land,
sea and air.
Then the artillery opened up, and
after the palace bad been thoroughly
•helled, Oompauys and hie colleagues
sn(rendered and were marched to a
prison ship In Barcelona harbor. The
revelation waa over and the new Cata-
laa republic went oat of existence. It
was rumored the collapse was partly
due to a dispute between Companys
and former Premier Manuel Azana, a
co-leader in the revolt Azana waa
found in hiding and arrested.
Surrender of Companys did not end
the fighting In jorthern Spain, for the
revolutionists in various regions con

employees In private Industry of their
Jobs, creating employment at one point
and unemployment at another.
"Entrance of the government Into
the manufacturing business in compe
tition with Its own citlaena," says the
manufacturers’ statement, "even to
supply relief for the unemployed, con
stitutes an extravagant use of the tax-
payers’ money in further experimenta

"Where those in- distress cannot be
provided with either public or private
work for which they could be paid,
then public funds may legitimately be

King Alexander of Jugoslavia, land-

assassTQ, and Louis Barthou, foreign
minister of France, who bad gone to
Marseilles to meet the king, was shot
down at the same moment and died
later from loss of blood. Their car
was "spattered w|th bullets." Louis
Barthou, seventy-two years old, ono of
the shiest of French statesmen, had
looked forward to the visit of the Jugo
slavian king as the beginning of an .era
of peace in Europe.
As a result of the king’s assassina
tion on foreign soil It might have been
feared that another war would be pre
cipitated. The great war started with
the murder of the Austrian archduke.
Vienna published rumors that the
Jugoslavian government had ordered
mobilization of its army on the Italian
and Hungarian frontiers.
It happens, however, that the mur
derer in this case Is a certain Petrus
Kaleman, tnirty-dve-year-old Jugoslav
one of King Alexander’s own subjects,
so that no international complication
is suggested.
Kaleman, captured after firing the
shots which killed Barthou and Alex
ander, attempted suicide by shooting
himself in the mouth, but was cut
down by police sabers and died from

I believe there can be no doubt that a
good many people, some influential,
some Just the mlne-ruu, have ques
tioned the flying qualities of the
Blue Eagle. Their dissatisfaction and
distrust has been shown In many ways
and thus It appears logical that Mr.
Roosevelt would seek to allay their
fears.
Under the new set-up of NRA, the
President has taken active leadership.
Of course, he has been the leader here-
tofore, but there has always been the
disposition on his part to allow the
former administrator, Gen. Hugh S.
Johnson, to guide his own ship. Despite
the fact that Mr. Johnson was given a
free hand. It was easy for Mr. Roose
velt to take control because, after all.
he is President of the United States.
By dividing management of NRA
among the heads of three boards. It Is
generally believed that the President
has made It easier for himself to assert
his influence and his ideas more di
rectly than has hitherto been the case
This Is particularly true when the per
sonality of the former administrator
is considered although the President
had only one man with whom to deal
under that circumstance.
Politically minded people In Wash
Ington seem to be wondering, however,
what the effect will be en Mr. Roose*
velt. Suggestions have been heard that
by taking a direct hand in NRA Mr,
Roosevelt has put himself “out front"
where, some seem to think he may be
tha target for some of the ‘‘rotten eggs'
about which the bombastic General
Johneon spoke so frequently. The fe
tiring administrator said frequently
he did not mind being the target, hut
many times Sir. Roosevelt has taken
occasion to fight back at his critics by
calling them torles, unawakened Rip
Van Winkles, and other such descrip
Uve terms.
e e e
It Is yet too early for a general reac
tion to be evident among conservative
■ . . business men on the
Opposition president’s NRA re
Active organization pro
gram. Those who
have given voice to their feelings thus
far, however, have Indicated that the
right wing group tn the country are
finding amall unction from the new
program. Indeed, the undercurrent of
Information which we get In Washing
ton is to the effeat that there are more
secret meetings and definite mores
among business Interests to ward off
any left wing swing by the admlnlstra
tion than there has been at any time
since Mr. Roosevelt took office.
The President’s recent radio speech
to the country was generally under
stood as a conciliatory move on his
part and It seems not to take a stretch
of the imagination to link that speech
and NRA reorganization with these
various movements against the over
hanging threats of such liberals as
Donald Richberg, former Chicago
labor lawyer, who is certainly the most
influential man in the new NRA set-up.
Everywhere I go, I find that bus!-
i ness interests are accepting the reor
ganization of NRA as notice of
its continuation and it may be pos
sible that one result of this interpreta
tion of the President’s act Is the grow
ing opposition movement mentioned
above. Business generally is mindful
that the matter of continuing NltA must
be decided by congress. They recog
nize that the present recovery act ex
pires next JTune and that the Presi
dent will lay before congress a com
prehensive program early in January
after congresa returns. Their efforts
In opposition, therefore, naturally will
be directed to the congress In an effort
to accomplish some of the changes in
the law which they believe advisable to
permit free and untrammeled commerce
and Industry.
With regard to the President’s de
termination to continue NRA it needs
to be pointed out only that if he-had
wanted to scrap that unit of his recov
ery set-up, the retirement of General
Johnson afforded an excellent oppor
tunity. It was then that he could have
allowed the organization to disintegrate
and could have transferred to various
agencies of the government thfth are
permanent in character such functions
as he desired should continue. But he
did not do that He acted with dis
patch. This Is best shown by the
chronology of events, 'it appears that
the President made up his mind over
one week-end. He received General
Johnson's resignation on n Monday
Banking-and other financial interests
of' the country are apparently quite
disturbed over the 1
Financiers trend toward. easier
Disturbed hank examinations.
Mr. Roosevelt lately
has told the treasury that the bank
examiners w’ere too hardbolled In going
over loans held In portfolios of banks
and that he was anxious to see a jiiore
uniform system developed than the ex
amining methods long In use.
The fear seems to be that the bank
examiners will relax too far In grant
ing approval for loans outstanding.
Heretofore, banks have had to toe the
mark and any questionable papers or
any loan that gave evidence of not be
ing liquidated In accordance with Ita
terms was promptly called to the atten
tion of the bank management with In
structions to make corrective adjust-
pnts oh the hooks. Trrwsmne-finau-
dal authorities expect, bank examin
ers become too lenient it Is suggested
in many quarters that the banks again
may find themselves with paj>er upon
which they cannot realize Just as oc
curred at the beginning of this depres
sion. It was bad loans that forced the
closing of many hanks.
Then, too, many observers are find
ing it difficult to reconcile the Presi
dent’s attitude with the frequent criti
cisms he has made of banking prac
tices heretofore employed. I am re
minded also of the stinging rebuke*
that have cdhie from the senate com
mittee on hanking and currency after
its Investigation of the hanking struc
ture. Time after time that commit
tee, which proceeded with Its investi
gation with a blessing from the White
House, has attacked banks and hank
ers because of bad loans and worse
judgment in dealing with the borrow
ers. The question has been asked sev
eral times lately whether banks are
going to be willing to make loans that
are in some res|>ects a gamble eveu
under the President's urge If. later,
they will he subjected to attacks tn the
halls of congress.
• • •
On the bank loans the President Is
convinced that bank examiners have
„ been throwing out a
Examiners | ( ,t of loans that are
To© Sfr«nf«nf perfectly good. They
have been forcing
the banks to charge off this paper as
a loss. In other words. Mr. Roosevelt
believes that under the old rules of ex
amination a too stringent attitude was
adopted by the administrative authori
ties In the treasury and the hank ex
aminers carried out those rules lit
erally.
In the background. It is to be remem
bered, however, there Is the federal
deposit insurance corporation. This
agency guarantees that the depositors
will be repaid in full up to a limit of
$5,000 on each account. It would seem
to he that the existence of this Insur
ance corporation ought to fend off any
particular fear. But bankers know
and a good many of the political and
administrative leaders recognize that
the corporation .could not withstand
wholesale bank failures. It draws Its
funds from assessment of member
banks and, therefore, when its present
reserves are exhausted banks must dig
up more. Following this line of rea
soning, one cannot help arriving at the
conclusion that a series of hank fail
ures, resulting from bad loans, would
throw more of a burden upon the
good banks than they can carry, Thus
It is made to appear that a high per
centage of bankers In the country after
ail are going to continue to exercise
their Judgment on the type of loans
they make and will not be influenced
materially by administration wishes.
Some, of course, will extend credit
with abandon, and It Is this group
of bankers who eventually will wit
ness the deposit Insurance corporation
paying off their depositors.

Consumers must look to $ change In
their diet as regards some Items of
food during the coming winter, iccord-
ing to a statement from the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Through the bu
reau of agricultural economics the de
partment said that It expected some In
creases In prices between now and the
end of the year but that the climb In
price levels Ukely would be more grad
ual and not so large as has occurred
in the last three months. This fact. It
appeared, was traceable to the short
age of some kinds of food resulting
from the drouth in the cehtraf*states
and a superabundance of some other
kinds produced in the eastern half snd
far western sections of the United
States.
The department suggested that the
full effect of tHk drouth on retail food
prices will not be felt Until next
spring. At that time, supplies of
dairy . products and ' poultry
products will have been reduced.
