Breach Widens Between Administration and Labor—

INQUIRIES Into the causes of the
* “quiver” which ripped away the two
gas cCIls and caused the giant dirigible
**Ma<W to plunge Into the Pacific has
Leen started. Even the surviving 81
officers and men of the "Sky Queen"
are not certain Just what caused the
catastrophe, although Lieut Com. H.
V. Wiley, survivor of the Akron dis
aster and master of the Macon, was
said to have “some Ideas" about It. His
findings will be placed before the
board of Inquiry.
Some hints were .made about struc
tural weakness of the $2,450,000 craft,
but naval officers refused to discuss thl
subject. In Washington President
Roosevelt said there would be no Im
mediate move to replace the ship.
Survivors of the crash told a dra
matic story of heroism. Cruising
along at a speed of 63 knots, the ship
twice lowered Its elevation to avoid
rain squalls. A short Jar was felt, the
ship began to take a bow-up position,
and Commander Wiley received a re
port that one of the 12 helium gas
cells was gone. The Macon then rose
rapidly to 4,600 feet. Its nose stick
ing up at a sharp angle and then slow
ly sank toward the ocean as the crew
made frantic efforts to right the lurch
ing craft
Aa it hit the ocean the crew slid
down ropes, or dived Into the heavy
swells. Men swam through flame
where flares had ignited oil and gaso
line, others rescued companions whose
lifebelts were lost or broken In long
leaps Into the sea. The sailors watched
the ship crumble under the waves and
at last disappear. Only two men were
lost Cruisers rushed to the scene and
picked up the survivors.

The substitute, proposed by Senator
Richard B. Russell, and adopted by
a vote of 14 to 9, provides that the
President shall establish the prevailing
rates of pay whenever an Investigation
discloses that the federal wages of $50
a month are affecting adversely the
rates on work of a similar nature. The
matter Is entirely up to the Presldemt,
however, and he can take any action or
withhold any Investigation. Just as he
sees fit, which may mean much or
nothing.
DREMIER MUSSOLINI found Em-
* peror Haile Selassie of Ethiopia Is
a man not easily frightened. II Duce’s
demands for Indemnities for Italian
colonials killed on the borders of Ital
ian Somaliland were politely, but firm
ly, refused. The Ethiopians, undis
mayed by the vast preparations Italy
has been making, declared they would
fight to their last drop of blood to pre
serve their Independence, that they
would not apologize or make repara
tions for what they maintain Is merely
defense of their own Country. This
puts Mussolini In an embarrassing po
sition. He must either send an ex
peditionary force against the. Ethio
pians, or back down after mobilizing
troops, and that would be a bitter p^li
for the Italian dictator to swallow.
Cbanosllor
Hitler
(Chancellor hitler emerged
^ from tils hermlt-Hke seclusion with
a number of counter-proposals which
he offered In reply to the Eranco-Brit-
Ish proposals. D e r
Fuehrer, a govern-
ment spokesman stat
ed, would definitely re
fuse to Join any pact
guaranteeing Austria’s
independence unless
“the will of the Aus
trian people Is first
consulted" by means
of a plebiscite to de
termine whether that
nation d e s I r e s a n

with the German
relch. Hitler will also follow Poland’s
\stand, and will have nothing to do with
he French-sponsored eastern securities
agreement “If It Ts to be based on mu
tual assistance," although he is willing
to join an air pact provided It allows
Germany an air force equal to Soviet
Russia’s. Hitler seems particularly anx
ious to avoid any agreement which
would bind Germany to Russia and per
haps result In aiding Russia in event
of war between that country and
Japan. . t
From the tone of Hitler's demands,
he evidAitly did nbt entirely believe
that France and Great Britain were
not preparing some trap for him. The
Hitler reply demands that Germany
must be given absolute equality of
armaments before anything else can be
discussed, and that Germany will ne
gotiate an air pact If her relations with
Soviet Russia are considered, and If
England, France. Belgium and Italy
agree to consult each other before any
action is taken. He also Insists that
the general question of disarmament
Is allied with the air pact and roust be
settled at the same time.
When notified that Der Reichfuehrer
would make reservations, official Brit
ish sources Indicated that Germany
must either accept or reject the agree
ment In Hs entirety, and stqted partial
acceptance would not be agreeable to
Great Britain. All of which may be
true, or It may be just th'e old horse
trading spirit which seems to break out
In the best diplomatic circles.
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT eked out
* a close victory in the senate appro
priations committee, when the amend
ment to cut $2,000,000,000 off the ad
ministration's $4,880,000,000 work re
lief bill was defeated by the close vote
of 12 to 11. Administration forces
scored another victory by the adoption
of a compromise amendment to the
proposal of Senator Pat McCarran for
the payment of prevailing wages on afl
federal projects. Witnesses testified
that McL'arran’s amendment would
Itave Increased the cost of putting
3,500,000 men to work by more than
$2,000,000,000 and would have defeat,-
ed purpose of the bill.
. McCarran did not press his amend
ment In committee when a substitute
was offered, but Insists that he will do
x so do the senate floor. The fight the

One question-may surprise you con
cerning Supreme court decisions set
ting aside laws passed by the congress
and signed by the President, on the
ground that congress, In passing the
law, had exceeded Its constitutional
authority^ This Is the question: Are
those Supreme .court decisions in them
selves unconstitutional?
When the Supreme court, sometimes
by a narrow margin of five to four,
declares a law unconstitutional and
void, is It exceeding Its constitutional
authority?
Where In the (Constitution of the
United States do you find authority ?or
the Supreme court power to overrule
congress and the President In the mak
ing of laws? This absence of authority /
Is no accident. Those that wrote the
Constitution, after long arguing, dis
puting and many contfessions, knew,
presumably, what they wanted the Con
stitution to say. And they did not
want R to give the Supreme court the
power to veto laws, thgt it now as
sumes and exercises.

It Is true that Secretary Hull oif the
Department of State, Secretary Roper
of the Department of Commerce, and
Senator Bofah, In the senate, have
talked about foreign affairs In one way
or another, but none of them occa

from the White House by their asser
tions.
Among the occurrences In the re
deem period that tend to show bow the
administration again Is putting home
affairs to the forefront are the new
banking bill, the plans for recovery
revlvak under the five billion dollar
public works bill, and the determina
tion of house and senate lately, under
a White Housq spur, to clip the wings

They did it summarily, but the eh^ is

Messrs. Wallace and Davis, or the yelpt

The general information Is that. In
shelving foreign matters, Mr. Roose
velt has determined to lay aside the St.
Lawrence waterway controversy until
“pressing domestic matters” qre dis
posed of. Almost In the same breath
It can be said that new activity has
been tlisclosed on the part of the New
Dealers to apread their doctrine into
the states and Establish, If possible,
uniform laws everywhere concerning
privately owned utilities such as elec
tricity and gas. While no one will shy
so. It la the understanding that consid
erable, pressure is being placed behind
the effort to get state legislatures to
pass uniform public utilities bills, meas
ures which, have been drafted In the
Public Works administration here.

C'RANCIS BIDDLE and his national
* labor relations board took a hand
In the controversy between the admln-
lstratiqn.*nd the American Federation
of Labor by offering a suggestion that
section 7-A of the recovery act “should
be clarified." William Green and -his
fellow lead^ri/'of'tfie federation have
long contended that the clause, guar
anteelng employees rights to bargain
collectively, should be enlarged to
specify that the majority of employees
should have the right to choose the
spokesmen for all employees, and Graf
company onions should be barred. The
national labor board, which submitted
a-report of Its first six months' work,
defended the majority rule at length.
As Is well known, the administration
desires section 7-A continued un

’ cent months is the

From this It la seen that th^ Reserve
board becomes the dominant body. It
takes no stretch of the Imagination to
the Reserve board, while they are ap
pointed for a term of ten years, some
times resign or die off. It Immediately
becomes possible, therefore, to make
the Federal Reserve board a purely
political body dominated by the Presi
dent of the United States. *
The function of the open market
committee, as -proposed In tpe bill/ Is
to order the purchase or sale of govern
ment securities In the open market. If
these securities are bought, the Re
serve banks Issue currency for them
and they Increase the amount of money
In circulation, thereby easing credit. It
the^ banks sell bonds which they have
In their portfolios, the currency paid
for-those bonds obviously is taken out
of circulation and that action results
in a contraction or reduction of the
amount of credit available. • ^
If, for example, the occupant of the
White House at any time happens to
be an out-and-out inflationist. It Is
easy to see how government bonds can
be absorbed by the.Reserve banks and
new currency put In circulation In
whatever volume the administration
policies require. r.

has only to go back for an examination

In recent years to discover that the
five-year limitation probably increased
the mortality among otherwise sound
banks to a greater extqnt than any
other factor. In other words, to grant
a bpnk the privilege of making a loan
for- twenty years means that such a
bank ties up an equal amount of depos

positors take a sudden notion to with

congress in a most
unspectacular manner. There was - no
out-and-out endorsement by the White
House, nor was the sponsoring of the^
draft made clear. The legislation was
dropped lnto,the house hopper the day
after Representative Steagall, chair
man of the house committee on bank
ing and currency, had given out his own
summarization. Chairman Fletcher of
the senate committee on banking and
currency received the bill the same
day as Mr. Steagall and immediately
went Into a huddle with himself behind
closed doors jo study the draft Later
be anuounced with apparent pleasure
that It was a great piece of legislation.
Now that the bill has been printed
and Is available for public Inspection,
a perfect furore has been aroused. The.
conservative critics began to squawk
Immediately that the measure proposes
to destroy the Federal Reserve system
and concentrate on power of credit
and currency expansion or contraction.
In the hands of a small group In the
Treasury they contend that this
amounts to establishment of a central
bank and that, under our political sys
tem, a central bank would mean an un
stable currency. What more could there
be then, they ask, to destroy confidence
Id the currency wAich we use?
New Dealers, In defense of this new
banking legislation, have been given to
making wise-cracks about the Old Deal-
erg, who, they assert, desire to see con
ditions of 1928 and 1929 repeated. They
cite, with some Justification it seems to
me, that central banks exist in mo&
of the major countries of the world
and that their service has not been a
bad thing at all. Further, tbe New
Dealers argue that the political capital
of the United States n in Washington,
and the financial capital has been in
New York. Why, tlyfcy ask, should there
be such a divlsio^?
In hetweeb these two schools of
thought are sound money advocates
and courageou/ conservatives who take
the position /that the bill has many
good qualltin and' that it likewise has
many provisions definitely to be avoid

This provided something of a dual
control, a check and balance on the
exercise of power. Now, however, the
effort Is to be made to combine the
jobs and make the head of the bunk a
strictly government representative.
That course naturally Is in line with
the Roosevelt program of extending
and expanding federal authority. The
President has constantly Increased the
scope of power and influence ekerclsed
from Washington. The current offering
la accepted everywhere as bringing
under federal domination completely
the banking system of this nation. It
does qo because none can deny that the
Federal Reserve banks hold a club
over the heads of private bankers wher
ever, they may be..
So I believe It Is a fair statement to’
say that Mr. Roosevelt, or those who
are responsible to him, is reaching out
to amplify the Control of credit from
Washington which was Initiated
through the Reconstruction Finance
corporation, tbe Home Owners' L°&U
corporation, and other leading agen
cies. The Federal Reserve system was
set up, according to the debate on the
measure In congress at that time, to
decentralize credit control and break
the grip which New York exercised
over the volume of credit Now. apitar-
ently, it Is all coming back to Wash
ington, probably to. be exercised by pol
iticians instead of men with banking
training.
In connection with the administra
tion’s attention to domestic affairs and
the consequent legislative changes, at
tention might well be centered qu the
meaning of some of the moves. Ope
Washington observer wrote In his news
paper tbe other day that the adminis
tration was renewing its notes afthe
bank. What he referred to was the ex
tension of life of the Reconstruction
Finance .corporation and the pumplhg
of more blood into the veins of the
Home Owners’ Loan corporation.
Something similar has occurred with
respect to the Reconstruction Finance
corporation which has been gi^Ten new
life'.and about $350,000,000 In new mon
ey hy^atTacTof congress.
Then, President Roosevelt has asked
for renewal of the life of the National
Recovery administration and for re-en
actment of the National Industrial Re
covery act, both of which expire next
Jpne 16.
As 1 a result of these maneuvers a
good many observers are of the opin
ion that the recovery efforts have not
