By EDWARD W. PICKARD C Western Newspaper Union. V J. A. Farley R epublicans shouted loudly that the victory of their party in the New York atate election was a lerrl fic blow to the New Deal an<La repu diation of President Roosevelt. The Demo crats declared It was no such thing.. James A. Farley, who is bdth national and state chairman of the Denv- ocrats, gave them their cue when he declared recapture of .control of the legislature by the O. O. P. was “normal" and that the Demo cratic vote for assem bly candidates taken as a whole ex ceeded the Republican vote by more than half" a million, which was some thing of an exaggeration The Republicans gained nine addi tional seats In the assembly, giving them 82 to 08 held hy the Democrats. Only two senate seats were, involved In the contest, both to' fill vacancies. One of them went to- a Republican and the other to a Democrat, leaving the setup of the upper legislature body unchanged. In 4. r ) cities of the state, the Repub licans elected .Tt mayors, Including Ro land B. Marvin of Syracuse, possible nominee for governor next year. The President saw Hyde Park go Rp|Hib- lican and Farley failed to hold’his own district In Rockland county. The Democratic organisation In New York came through strongly and men aces the prospect of a re-election for Mayor LaHuardla, observers hold. The Fusion forces, which turned Tammany out two years ago, crumbled. In Philadelphia S. Davis Wilson, Re publican, was elected mayor but the vote was close enough for the Demo crats to call It a virtual victory, for the New Deal. Cleveland, Columbus and 23 out of 42 other cities and towns - In Ohio ch<tse Republican mayors, and so did a number of municipalities In Massachusetts. Connecticut Socialists re-elected Jasper McLevy mayor of Bridgeport and Democratic mayors were returned In Hartford and Ni‘w Haven. Republicans gained control v of the New Jersey legislature, but Hudson—fbjhe county. Including Jersey City, went Democratic by a record vote. Results In the spectacular election In Kentucky gave the New Dealers a real reason for rejoicing, for A. B. Chandler, known ns "Happy,“ the Dem ocratic candidate for governor who had the support of the national adminis tration, handily defeated Jialge King rSwope, the Republican nominee. This Hlesplte the fact that Democratic Uov- ernor Lafoon had declared himself against Chandler and threw his sup port to Swope. The referendum on repeal of the state prohibition amend ment gave the repealists a good ma jority, In Virginia and Mississippi all the Democratic nominees were elected, which was to be expected. States than any other country, ana America, In turn, is Canada’s best cus tomer. Last year America exported goods worth $302,000,000 to Canada and Imported goods worth $231,000,000. These totals compare with 1929 totals of $948,000,000 and $503,000,000 re spectively. ROSSLY arbitrary, unreasonable '-J and capricious," was the way Federal Judge William C. Coleman of Baltimore described the public utility holding act, and he held the law un constitutional in its entirety. In a long decision, the Judge declared that the net’s "invalid provisions” were “so multifarious nnd so Intimately and re peatedly Interwoven throughout the act as to render them incapable of separa tion from such parts of the act, If any, as otherwise might he valid.” Judge Coleman Instructed trustees for the American States Public Service company, plaintiffs In the litigation on the act, to treat the law as “invalid and of no effect.” The Securities and Exchange com- tnission announced in Washington, how ever, that enforcement of the act will continue, despite the ruling. G EORGE of Greece Is once mor< k r t king. The plebiscite resulted ii| his recall by a hug? majority, and be fore long the monarch will be back on Ibe throne he abdi cated 12 years ago. The vote In favor of the restoration was al most unanimous, even In Crete, the birth place of the repub lican leader Venlzelos who Is now In exile and-under sentence of * death. As the results of the balloting came in, F’re- mle* George Kondylls appeared on a balcony of a government building - and an nounced: “As of tomorrow, King George II will be king of the Hellenes. There will be no political parties. They have been broken up by the peo ple themsHyea^ and a new epoch of reconstruction will start** King George II M ackenzie king, the new prime minister of Canada, was in Wash ington negotiating with President Koosevelt a reciprocal trade agreement between the United States and the Do minion. Completion of such a treaty was one of the planka of King’a recent election platform. Canada buys more from the United /"MIINA has suddenly abandoned the ^ metallic silver currency standard, adopted . a managed paper currency and otherwise reformed Its monetary system. The four-point program was announced In Shanghai by Finance" Minister H. H. Rung Just after Vice President Garner and his party of congressmen had left the city for Mpnlla. The American party was entertained by high Chinese officials, Including Kung. But, despite much oratory of the hands across the sea character, no hint was given of China’s contem plated action. Howeve* all English language newspapers In Shanghai car ried long interviews with Senator Wil liam H. King of Utah and Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, both of whom practicalljr. told China that It “was not any of her business what America did about silver,” and pre dicted .. the continuance of -United States purchases until the price of sil ver has reached $1.29 an ounce. TIZHILE the Invading Italians were pushing further and further Into hls-realm, Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia celebrated the fifth anniver sary of his corona tion, and he did it in fine style, too. Es corted by a throng of feudal chiefs in bar baric attire, the king of kings and his queen passed through the streets of Addis Ababa amid wildly tbousands, gave thanks to Emperor Haile Selassie and-'frewkwood and God In St George’s cathedral. Afterward, seated on his Ivory tliYone In the palace, he received the felicitations of the alns and the diplomatic corps, the afternoon Halle gave the sol diers a great feast of raw meat, and in the evening he entertained the dip lomats and nobles at a state banquet with golden service aim - rare wines. The emperor holds that the big oil concession negotiated for American interests by F. M. RIckett, the English promoter, still holds .good although the Americans relinquished It at .the sug gestion of Secretary Hull. “This con cession,” said Haile, “Is an Integral part of our national economic pro gram. We purposely granted It, to a neutral country like the United States in order to avoid political complica tions and International Jealousies. It Is unfortunate that war must delay Its fulltilment. Through the benefits ac cruing to this concession we hope to raise -the social level of ’people and provide them with honorable remunera tive employment.** T HE League of Nations set Novem ber 18 as the day on which the economic sanctions against Italy should be put Into effect, and later decided that coal. Iron and oil should be Included In the embargo. The league appointed Premier Laval of France and Sir Samuel Hoare, British foreign minister, to carry on peace ne gotiations with Italy. Sir Samuel still insisted any peace must be within the framework of the League. The Italian armies on the northern front pushed further Into Ethiopia, fol lowing the tanks and with bombing planes active overhead, and one col umn entered the city of Hauzien on the way to Makale. The Invaders met rlth no resistance of consequence. The government at Addis Ababa announced that Italian planes had killed 3Q wom en, 15 children and 100 cows with bombs and machine gun fire at Gora- heL P RESIDENT ROOSEVELT has ac cepted an invitation from Edward A. O’Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, to appear be- Yore that organization In Chicago bn December 9 and deliver an address. Mr. Roosevelt will arrive In Chicago at nine o’clock that morning, make his speech, and start back to Washington three hours later. The President’s promised trip to In diana to take part In the dedication of a memorial to George Rogers Cldrk at Vincennes has been postponed until June of next year, when he will also visit the Texas centennial exposition in Dallas. A DMINISTRATOR HARRY L. HOP KINS Issued an order barring from work relief Jobs all persons not on the dole as November 1. He said, however, thatwsplte this order 10 per. cent non-relief labor could be em ployed on any project, and more In specific cases. The $.‘130,000,000 public works non-federal program and the $100,000,000 low cost housing program have been exempted entirely from the relief labor requirement because of • shortage of skilled construction work men on relief. B illy Sunday, the spectacular evangelist whose fiery eloquence led many thousands to “hit the saw dust Trail" to the altar and seek sal vation, died of heart disease at the|,y home of his brother-in-law In Chicago. His wife, known all over the land as “Ma,** was with him at the end and said Billy died as he had always wished, suddenly. Mr. Sunday, who was almost seventy-three years of age, was a professional ball player In his youth. He was converted In 1886 and In 1903 was ordained a Presbyterian minister. 1 - One of America’s leading scientists, Henry Fairfield Osborn, died In New York at the age of seventy-three years. He was eminent in many branches of science and was sometimes called “the successor to Darwin and Huxley.” .For years he was the president of the American Museum of, Natyral His tory. x — CO VIET Russia celebrated the elght- ^ eenth anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution with a tremendous display of Its armed strength In Moscow, t In fantry, cavalry, tanks and all the oth er army services marched for hours past the tomb of Lenin, where stood Joseph ft, Stalin and other leaders to review the long parade. Voroshiloff, commissar for war and navy, declared In the order of the day that the-Soviet army was ready to protect the frontiers of “our sdcred land” at any moment. He warned the world that danger ’of a new general war hung over mankind. The executive committee of the Communist Internationale published an appeal to workers of all countries to Join hands to force an end to Italy’s war in Ethiopia, protect the Chinese people from Invasion, ward off danger of war In Europe and bring about a downfall of Fascism Yl^HEN the nations get together In ’ London In December for the next naval conference It is not likely they will be able 1 to agree on much In the way of limitation of naval armament. But there is a good prospect that Italy will there demand the neutralization of the straits of Gibraltar, which would be extremely distasteful and perhaps embarrassing to Great Britain. Diplomats are certain the British would refuse to make the concession. It was reported In Paris that -the Duce would ask that the straits be put In the same status as the Suez canal, and would offer to scrap two 36,000 ton battleships now under construction as . bered that the hudger now Under con- evldence oThls good faith. Britain hopes France will support her atti tude concerning this demand and 1q return may agree to take a larger per centage of exports from French Moroc co to strengthen France’s position in that colony. French naval experts said that, while neutralization of the straits would guarantee free passage for France for all time, yet “It w’ould be better to have a strong British, hold on Gibraltar” In case France got In a war with Germany and was faced .with the prospect of German submarines entering the Mediter- rannean to ravage her commerce and Washington! Digest A, National Topics interpreted By WILLIAM BRUCKART NATIONAL PRESS BlDG AASHiNGTON D C r |f 11 on Budget Washington.—About this tithe every fall, the President calls the director of the budget to the In Huddle White House and, they go Into a huddle about the finances of the government, about the needs for money of the various -governmental agencies who must pay their employees and the other expenses to which they are put and In addition they discuss general questions of policy. It Is, as I said, an annual affair that presages a new tempo In the movement of ac tivities in Washington because It oc curs some weeks In advance of the reconvening of congress. Congress, un der the Constitution, must appropriate the money which is spent by all branches of government. Well, the annual huddle has Just been held by President Roosevelt and Daniel W. Bell, acting director pf the bureau of the budget, and Mr. Bell has gone back to his office In the treasury with Instructions to begin formulation of budget estimates for submission to congress. Of course, budget making goes on throughout the year. The huge staff of experts and accountants who work un der Mr. Bell’s direction are busy the year ’round examining the proposed re quirements of the various agencies and arriving at conclusions as ^to what their needs reasonably should be. The White House conference, therefore, represents the second step because those were the figures that formed the basis of the discussion between the President and his budget director. • • • In drafting the budget for submission to the next session of congress, the ad- .ministration t^.con- Problema fronted with a varl- to Solve et - v problems, not the least of which Is the political phase. It 1$ to be remem- slderatlon covers money that will be appropriated for nse after July 1, 1936, and the succeeding 12 month period. Therefore, half of the Presidential campaign next year. Indeed, the heat ed part of that campaign, will fake place after governmental agencies have begun to use the new appropriations. It Is easy to see, therefore, that poli tics can hardly he kept out of the forthcoming budget In some form or other even though every President says politics does not Influence budget mak ing. Nevertheless. New Deal spending and future taxation constitute ques tions which the President cannot over- stop transport of troops from north look and , s not overlooking because ncan posess ons. * , those things are vital to every man. woman and child In the nation. FTER a conference with agrlcul- | . _ ... tural specialists and representa- U ^ mn *° !** ^ ^ weI! SPtt,pd lives of fanners. Secretary of Agri- BOW tbat the R ^ ,,b,irans " re culture Wallace announced that a two to ma,<p spending and taxation fhclr year program for con. and hog pro- n,aJor -Re ducers bad been determined upon, the main features of which are: 1. Prevention of an excessive pro duction of corn In 1936 and 1937. 2. Allowance of an Increase la next year’s pig crop that would be at least as great as It is estimated would take place were no adjustment program In effect. 3. Prevention of an excessive In crease in the 1937 pig crop. Th^ new contract will require that an area at least equal to the number of acres withdrawn from production of corn be added to the-usual area of the farm devoted to soil-improving- and erosion- preventing uses. This re quirement was a part of the 1934 corn- hog contract but was relaxed when the drouth come. veil and his New Deal. I seems reasonably sure tfin M EDALS were awarded by the Car negie hero fund commission to 47 men and children of the United States and Canada, or to their relatives fn 11 cases. Most of the awards are for res cues of persons from drowning. Two silver medals were awarded and 45 bronze. The silver ones went to James C. Martin, fifty-one-year-old Jop lin (Mo.) laborer and Christine Stew art, thirty-five, of Brookline, Mass. Martin went into a sewagesplt trying to save a fellow worker. Both drowned. Miss Stewart leaped Into the sea near Bar Harbor, Jto.-, In an at tempt to save Emily McDoiigalt thir ty-one. Rescuers pulled them out 40 minutes later. Miss McDougaJl died. Cash awards totaling $7,000 for educa tional purposes accompanied the med als in 14 cases, the commission an nounced. In 22 other cases, a total of $17,250 was .granted for purchase of homes or “other worthy purposes.” G ERMANY has no designs ->n west ern Europe, - but she does Intend to promote her expansion In the Bal tic states, and hopes later to divide the Ukraine with Poland. That, Is the substance of assertions made by Per- tlnax.and Genevieve Tabouls, two of the leading political writers of .the Paris press. They say Dr. Hjalmar Schncht, minister .of finance, revealed these plans to Jean Tannery, presi dent of the Bank of France, and Mon tagu Norman, president of the Bank of England. . , ~ Schacht, the writers say, exhorte^ the two financiers to act with Ger many “in the financial fleld** to end the Italo-Ethioplan conflict mm aooa as possible. ^ fact. It the Re publican slogan will be ‘Throw the Spendthrifts Out.” That being the oa*e. Mr. Roosevelt obviously must have in the back of his head considerable con cern over the current budget making. Knowing “Danny" Bell .as I have known him for neqr-ly 20 years, dur ing which time he has grown np In the treasury service. I think It ought to be dald In his favor that politics Is farthest from his thoughts. He Is as nearly a human figuring machine as any man I have known In my Wash ington career except possibly the man under whom he was trained, namely, the late Robert Hand. His chief con cern 1< and always has been a deter mination to have accurate statistics, accurate conclusions and recommenda-. tlons based as nearly as may be upon sound .Judgment But In saying these things about Mr. Bell I am not saying that budge tary plans are not subject to manipu lation. It has been true In previous administrations and It Is true In this one. The vast totals of figures with their minima of explanations are never easy to understand. This Is one way of saying that they can be made to donceal a great deal more than they reveal • • • I mentioned the Issues of spending and taxation. The American Liberty League which has Spending, consistently warned Taxation ®bout the possibility . of future heavy taxa tion has not been silent since the Pres ident some weeks ago made public a pre-budgetary summation. The League Insists that while present tax rates soon will provide enough money to meet what the President terms as “or dinary” expenditures of ‘the govern ment, Hie rates are Insufficient to meet the spending which Mr. Roosevelt calls extraordinary In that It covers relief. Further, the League, In a statement the other day, asserted Its belief that the present tax level was high enough to meet “legitimate relief If present un sound spending policies are aban doned.” But It la emphasized by the ! »ague that even Tf unsound spending ollcles are abandoned," the present ix levels are Insufficient to make poa- ible any appreciable retirement of the L-lgantlc debt that haa been built up (trough the New Deal relief program. So It la easy to aee that a head-on olllston between two achoola of •’' ' _ ^ ' thought is Inevitable. Mr. Roosevelt and his brain trusters have contended and will continue to contend that fed eral spending In the volume that has taken place was the only me«ns by wS^ch the nation could be carried over thlsSeriod of depression. On the other hand there will be the vicious attacks of Republican campaigners, the shot* by such men as Lewis Douglas, former director of the bureau of the budget, who broke with Mr. Roosevelt over “reckless spending,” and all of those roups of which the Liberty League Is typical. These have plenty of cam paign material, and you can make sure that they will use it My experience as an observer of poh itles and government prompts ^ne to say that there Is nothing that' strikes .the heart of the average taxpayer quite so fundamentally as displays of waste with the accompaniment of fore casts of greater taxation. Thus, If the New Deal opposition goes ahead on the course, that appears to be charted for them—actually It Is made to order for them—they can cause the administra tion many anxious moments. I say this, knowing full well, that the adminlstra- «.N>n has much argument on Its side and that It is equipped wltb-ihe finest lay out of machinery for Influencing pub lic opinion that any administration ever has had. It has at Its command all of •the machinery used in crop production control, the thousands of persons on the federal pay roll and- the millions who believe Mr. Roosevelt Is earnestly seeking to make this a better country In which to live. It is, therefore, no •mail task for the New Deal opposi tion If It Is to succeed even In turning the New Deal strength In the house of representatives to anything near an even distribution of the seats. >• • • Apparently, ^’ew Deal opposition BEE IN HIS MOUTH A boy about ten years rushed Into the Annapolis (Md.)

The reasons are sim ple. First, the senate Is going to re- 'Htain Democratic whether Mr. Roose velt Is re-elected or defeated. Only one-third of the 90 senators come up for re-election next year and the bulk ■ of these are from normally Democratic states. Unless a cataclysm follows the I>emocratic party, the senate majority i for the Democrats will continue to be ample. Such Is not the case In the house of j representatives where the entire mein- j bership must seek election every two years. Tliere are In the house member- | ship probably as many as 75 Demo- | crats who can be called pure political accidents.

If the New Deal majority In the house can be whittled down, It will then become Impossible for the President to drive through his program of legislation as^he has done In the last three sessions.

It seems that even in 1791, there was argument about the development of Muscle Shoals. The letter, which was addressed to the attorney general pf the United States at that time, called attention to the efforts being made by individuals to effect trades with Indians and sug gested the necessity for federal laws that would afford some protection for the Indians In their dealings with the white men.
