PASS IN REVIEW
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
~), W~tern Newspaper Union,
CHANCELLOR ItITLER'S virtual
threats of war, though coupled
with protestations of peaceful inten-
tion, are having their effect In almost
every nation on earth.
In his own land the
result is probably one
of his main objectives,
for the Germans, in
their loud rejoicings
over the military re-
birth of the reich a~qd
regaining of its old
position, are losing
sight of the grave eco-
nomic prohlems which
the relchsfuehrer has
Anthony Eden not yet been able to
solve.
France, having decreed the enlarg-
Ing of its army and the increase In
the term of conscription, began mov-
ing fully half of the troops heretofore
placed along the Italian frontier to the
Rhine area. Premier Mussolini of
Italy, as minister of war, ordered the
reeall of the entire military class of
]911, estimated at 220,000 men. These
additions bring the strength of the
army up to approximately 675,000, and
when the more than 400,000 Fascist
militia are Included, the Italian forces
number more than a million. The class
of 1913, due to be dismissed soon, is
being kept under arms. Mussolini
made a hot speech to the nation In
which he said Italy was ready "for
any threat of war" and that "our
desire for peace and European col-
laboration Is based upon some mil-
lions of bayonets."
According to a Rome paper that usu-
ally speaks with authority, there will
soon be held an Anglo-Franco-Italian
conference to discuss the re-armament
of Austria, Bulgaria. and Hnngary.
Tills has heretofore been Olrposed by
the countries of the little entente, but
it is supposed their views have been
altered hy recent developments.
Even in the United States the sentl-
meat for at least adeqnate defense
has been spurred. The senate and
house conferees reached an agreement
on the $400,000,000 War department
appropristion bill. The house confer-
ees receded from a proposal to give
tide Pcesldent discretionary authority
as to the rate of increasing the army's
strength to 165,000 men. The senate
plan providing that the increase shall
begin at once was adopted. The pro-
posed increase, recommended by the
War department as necessary to bring
the army up to the "least allowable
minimum" was the major new pro-
vision of the bill but it represented a
gain In total appropriations of more
thnn $70.000,000 above last year.
AS a preliminary to this meeting
there was an important conference in
Paris particjpated In by Capt. Anthony
Eden. Brittsh lord privy seal; Fulvlo
Suvieit. ltallan under-secretary of for-
eign affairs; and Foreign Minister
Lanai of France. Lanai sought to
stiffen the British attitude toward Hit-
ler. but Eden tried to turn him from
bls determination not to deal with
[:ermany until the l.eague of Nations
has passed on France's pretest of Ger-
man violation of the Versailles treaty.
It is understood France proposed to
impose severe economic penalties to
Germany but that Eden persuaded
Lanai that such measures should be
delayed until they had been debated
at tide coming meeting of the powers
at Corot. Italy. This conference was
postponed for some da~s to give Edeu
time to go to Moscow.
R ESTRICTIONS on planting spring
wheat have been removed by Sec-
retary of Agriculture Wallace, who
fears the effect of another widespread
drouth. The y e a r's
first crop report show-
ing that farmers In-
tend to plant 17,847,-
000 acres of spring
wheat is said to be ro-
spansible for Wallace's
about face. Last year
the acreage was 18.-
521,000 acres. The ad-
mlnlsl ration Is con-
vlnced that the gov-
ermnent and farmers
have a duty to protect Sec'y Wallace
consumers against a wheat sht~rtage,
he said. Farmers will plan an addi-
tional t~lO,O00 to 2J~0.tYJ0 acres as a
result of tile new order, and will her.
vest between ten and thirty million
bushels more. Wallace estinmtes.
~prlng wheat normally constitates
about one-fourth of the nation's crop.
He denied that tile European situa-
tion poiattng to a possibility of in-
creased sales had .~Jlything to do with
the new decision. F~,-mers nnder con-
tract who plant their full spring
wheat acreage will reee~ve full I~,ne-
fit payments" but in return will he
required to agree to reduce produc-
tion in I~16 by the amount asged in
next year's contract plus the m~.~mt
they would have reduced this year.
There is no indication tlmt the cor~.
acreage eotitrol program for 1935 will
be altered.
~['~tIE Belcher ease, regarded as the
lgovernment'a strongeag test of
NRA'S eomBtitutlonallty, will be
dropped, according to rvl~rts from
WashinBtolL It will be recalled that
William E. Belcher, Alabama lumber
mill owner, was alleged to have paid
employees less than the lumber code
minimum wage, and to have kept them
employed eight hours a week more
than the code maximum. Belcher did
not deny the charges, but attacked the
constitutionality of NRA legislation.
He was sustained in a demurrer by
Judge William Grubb. whose recent
ruling that TVA may not sell power
in competition with private utilities
gave scant comfort to the admlnistra-
tlon. The Supreme court's decision in
the Belcher case has been regarded
as very important since It would go
directly to the questlou of NRA's
validity, and would make or brea~
government control of industry.
JAPAN steps out of the l.eague ot
Nations and flanked by her single
avowed ally. Manchukuo, she faces the
world as the self-chosen preserver of
peace in the Orient. Japan's action is
the culmination of a series of events
started February 24, 1933, when
Yosuke MatSuaka led the entire Jap-
anese delegation in a walkout from
the league assembly. Shortly after,
Japan gave formal notice of Iter with-
drawal from the league because the as-
semhly had censured Japanese aggres-
sion in Manchuria. She has advised
other powers that she considers her-
self guardian of peace in eastern
Asia, and that outside assistance is
neither desired nor invited. In addi-
tion, Japan has embarked on an arma-
ment policy marked by denunciation
of the Washington naval treaty, de-
mands for naval parity with Great
Britain and the United States, and
armed forces "snfficient to defend, but
inadequate to attack."
H ERBEItT HOOVER suddenly proj-
ected himself into the political
picture, and set wagging the tongues
of countless politicians and observers.
In a letter addressed
to the California Re-
publican assembly,
meeting In Sacramen-
to, tile former Presi-
dent spoke hls mind
with utmost freedom
concerning the doings
of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration w h o s e
theories, he &~serted
"are no longer a propa-
gandized milennium ;
I-~rhert
they are self-exposed."
Hoover The Republican party,
sald Mr. Hoover, has today tile great-
est responsibility that has come to It
since the days of Abraham Lincoln--to
raise the standard in defense of funda-
mental American principles: and he
called for a rejuvenated and vigorous
Republican organization.
Here are some of the tl~ings Mr. Hoo-
ver said in arraigning the present ad-
ministration :
"The most solemn government obli-
gations have been repudiated,
"The nation is faced with the great-
est debt ever known to our country.
"The currency has been rendered un-
certain.
"The government has been central-
ized under an enormous bureaueracy
in Washington . small business
men have been disabled and crushed.
Cla~ conflicts have been created and
embittered.
"The cost of living ls steadily ad-
vancing.
"'More people are dependent upon the
government for relief than ever before.
"Recovery is still delayed."
Leaders of the regular Reubltcans in
Washington were quick to declare their
approval of Mr. Hoover's attack on
the New Deal. Most of them scouted
the idea that be was tentatively look-
ing toward another nomination, but
the general impression was that he was
in the way of becoming the leader of
his party In fact as well as in name.
CONSIDERABLY mutilated, tbe ad-
ministration's $4.880.000,000 work
relief bill finally got through the senate
by a vote of 68 to 16. and was returned
to the house later, to be adjusted in
conference. Tile senators accepted an
amendment by Senator Thomas of Okla.
homa for a currency expansion of $375,-
000,000 through the issuance of sliver
certificates at the $1.',>'.) an ounce mone-
tary value of the treasury's silver
stocks Instead of the present practice
of using the purchase, value of the sil-
ver. However. it was confidently ex-
pected this wouhl be stricken out in
the conference. I'reviously the senate
rejected Senator's VCheeler's amend-
ment for $4.000.~3.000 of new currency
to finance the works program.
Another amendment which was
adopted was that offered hy McCarran
of Nevada requiring senate conflrma-
tlon of all officials receiving $5,tX)0 or
more who would ilave charge of ex-
t, anditure of the fund.
One of the efforts to specify tlle use
of part of the huge work fund was
given tim approval of the flood control
committee of the house. It is a bill to
earmark $600,000,000 of the money for
flood projects in all parts of the coun-
try, and under It about 400 projects
which have been recommended by
army ~nglneers would be started.
The committee was tohl the list of
projects called for expenditure of ap-
proximately $100.000,000 in the lower
Mississippi river valley and that ex-
penditure of $181,000,000 would "pre-
vent the devastating floods" In that
ar~a.
BY A vote of 20"2 to 191, the house
voted to substitute the Patman
currency expansion bill for payment
o,J the soldiers' bonus for the "sound
money" plan of Representative VIn-
ann. A ~')lsterous house thus defied

THE BEACH REVIEW
pRESTDEN~P ROO~EVEI.T Is look-
ing ahead to 1936. Authoritative
word has reached the Capitol that he
wants all controversial administration
legislation cleared away at this ses-
~on, so that congress can meet for a
short and harmonious session prior to
the 1936 Presidential campaign. Besides
the relief bill. Mr. Roosevelt is said
to he specially anxious to have con.
gress pass his social security program ;
utility hohling compm~y legislation; a
bill continuing NRA for two years;
transportation regulation co-ordina-
tion; banking legislation; ship sub-
sidy and increase in the capital of the
Home Owners Loan corporation. If
this can be cleared from the calendar,
it may prevent any serious party
squabbles that might interfere with
plans to bring about Roosevelt's re-
election. The White House is much
concerned over rumors that congress
may scrap a good part of the admin-
istration's controversial legislation.

soil whipped up from the drouth-
scourged prairies hid the san, and beat
relentlessly upon the senses. A dozen

Governor Landon of Kansas appealed

THE government is ready to sell
gold to foreign nations that eau
offer an attractive proposition, Secre-
tary Morgcnthau announces. Recent
sales to the Bank of Mexico and to
Guatemala, Morgenthau points out,
have cleared the way to similar nego-
tiations with other countries, although
he emphasized that no other transac-
tions are being considered at this
time. No conditions were attached
to the transactions already consum-
mated. In the dealings with Mexico
vlrtaally all her silver sales have
been made to this country.
"We've got all the gold we can pos-
sibly use," Morgenthau added, indi-
cating that the government would
make no farther nndue efforts to as.
cumulate tile metal.
WITH considerable ceremony the
Soviet government transferred to
Japan full ownership of the Chinese
Eastern miilway and thus ceased to be
an opposing factor in the Japanese
occupation of Manchuria. In the offi-
cial residence of Foreign Minister
Kokl Hirota in Tokyo the sale agree-
ment and general protocol were signed
and the bargain was clinched by the
payment hy Japan of 23,333,000 yen to
the Soviet ambassador.

CLARENCE DARItOW, foe of NRA,
and author of the famous report
which attacked NRA more than a
year ago, assailed the administration's
economic theories, including the na-
tional recovery act, In his testimony be-
fore the senate finance committee. The
famous lawyer whose sharp speech and
fiery courtroom tactics have made him
famous, denounced NRA as playing
into the hands of big business to the
destruction of tim "little fellow." He
argued that NItA attacked the prob-
lem from the wrong angle and that the
real trouble lay In faulty distribution.
thus assallin~ the theory of scarcity.
Darrow swept aside statements that
NRA had helped organized labor, re-
duced unemtdoyment and abolished
child labor, with an assertion that It
would have happened anyway. "Tim
panic lint an end to child labor," he
said. "There wasn't any room for it
while fathers and mothers were out
of work."
The suffering due to continued con-
eentration of wealth would have gone
on anyhow, he said, but added that
NRA accelerated it.
