not involved because, he said, “No
inflation and no printing press money
is proposed.” He added:
There can be no inflation, when
gold or silver is used as a backing of
new currency. Nature, limits the new
currency to the amount of gold and
silver already in existence or pro­
duced by the mines.”
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
whose interest in currency expansion
has avowedly been greatei' than his
interest in paying the bonus, agreed.
He left no doubt that he and his
colleagues would resume their efforts
for an increase of money in circula­
tion at the first opportunity.
From what usually is considered
the conservative side of the econ­
omic fence, Senators Vandenburg,
Republican, Michigan, Hastings, Re­
publican, Delaware, Austin, Republi­
can, Vermont, and others of similar
thought hailed the message as
“sound” although they could not
agree in every particular. Vandenberg’s comment was typical:.
“There are minor things to which
I dissent,” he said, “but in the main
I think it was an able, invincible
and unanswerable argument. I par­
ticularly welcome what I hope is a
permanent rejection of all hospitality
to the idea of printing press money.”

In a voice colored with sarcasm,
Coughlin struck at President Roose­
velt’s statements against “class legis­
lation.”
“For years,” he shouted, “he and
his predecessors in office have been
upholding this very class legislation
for the benefit of the bankers, the
money creators.”
The crowd rose to its feet when
Coughlin cried at the close of his
speech:
“I ask you to pledge with me the
fight to return America to Ameri­
cans.”

BETTER BUSINESS EVIDENCES
CITED BY GOVERNMENT AGENTS
Washington, May 23 (JP)— Three
governmental sources — the Com­
merce Department, Federal Reserve
Board and an administration senator
-—reported they saw evidences of
better business.
Secretary Roper told a press con­
ference he based a prediction of bet­
ter business on a large increase in in­
dustrial, orders, citing the volume of
woolen goods orders as an example.
The Federal Reserve Board report­
ed an increase in retail trade and pay­
rolls “in excess of the usual seasonal
expansion” paftly accounted for an
increase o f §110,000,00$ in the
money In circulation between January
28d And April 2,4th.
Senator Robinson, Democrat lead­
er, asserted “the country5 is well on
the road to recovery” and read the
Senate a press dispatch that Internal
Revenue collections for^the first 10
month* of the fiscal year were §549,1$M?$ ahead #f the corresponding
e l last year,
The Commerce Department attrib­
uted last week’s slump in retail
sales to nationwide bad weather.
Building operations continued to
mount, the department’s weekly sur­
vey of business showed, while whole­
sale trade improved.
Money circulation on April 24th
was §135,000,000 greater than a year
ago, said the Federal Reserve Board.
“This reflected partly,” the board
said, “an increase in wage payments
and retail trade, partly increased use
of currency as against checking ac­
counts because of service charges and
the absence of banking facilities in
some communities, and partly an in­
crease in vault cash holdings of some
member banks.”
Surplus reserves of member banks
mounted to $2,300,000,000 during
April, the board said, resulting from
continued imports o f gold and dis­
bursements by the. Treasury from its
holding o f cash and deposits with the
regional institution*.
w ith obviou s sa tisfa c tio n th a t th e
A pril r e lie f p op u lation in 32 sta te s
had declined 3.7 per cent, from
March. This indicated, he said, the
to ta l r e lie f p op u lation had dropped
below 20,000,000.
In these states, he said, the decline
totaled 15,000 families “plus,” some
of these being farmers given work in
Spring planting.
The President, in announcing his
approval of a billion dollars worth of
projects recommended last week by
the allotments committee, said sev­
eral delays would be necessary to de­
cide how far each state’s share could
be stretched after allocations on
“mandatory” projects were made.
Among these he named highways,
street, and grade crossing elimination
work. The $1,200 a year required
to maintain each member of the C.
C. C. also will be charged up against
each state’s work quota, he added.
The $50,000,000 for highways and
similar works was the largest single
item of the $1,091,802,200 approved
by the President. It is to be dis­
tributed among the states according
to a formula involving their post
road mileage, area, and population.

leaders of House and Senate, divided
as to strategy but united in their de­

through this session of Congress,
sought today to find the plan on
which their forces could be reunited
fpllowing the Senate’s vote yester­
day, 54 to 40, that failed by nine
votes to override President Roose­
velt’s veto of the Patman currency
measure.
Far from conceding themselves
beaten, cash bonus forces immediate­
ly started new moves to obtain legis­
lation, resurrecting the issue on both
sides of the capitol.
No sooner was the outcome of the
vote announced by Vice President
Garner, than Senator Clark, Demo­
crat, Montana, served notice of a mo­
tion to suspend the rules to add a new
bonus bill to the pending $460,000,000 naval appropriations measure.
Clark’s move had only partial sup­
port from the bonus forces. Others
wished to wait and attempt to add the
Patman Bill to some more vital ad­
ministration measure, such as the N.
R. A. Extension Bill or the Social
Security program. Still others felt
the best course would be to start all
over again with the Vinson bill as
separate legislation.
V in son B ill R ein trod u ced
Washington, May 25 (JP)— In an
acknowledged effort to hold down the
number of work projects whose en­
tire cost must be borne' by the fed­
eral government, President Roose­
velt has reduced to 55 per cent the
amount states and communities must
pay back on new public works allot­
ments.
Further liberalizing old P.W.A. re­
quirements that 70 per cent be re­
paid, the President reduced the in­
terest rate from 4 per cent to 3 per
cent on the remainder.
Other developments as administra­
tion officials sought to end further
delays in getting the program started
were:
Morris L. Cooke said his Rural
Electrification agency would build
generating plants “where they are
needed” to supply current for farm
families, and added that he would
have “something to say” about rates
on all power used.
Harry L. Hopkins’ Works Progress
Division made public 307 areas into
which the country has been divided
to give a “direct line” responsibility
for its widespread activities.
N o W age In creases
The President indicated that de­
spite organized labor protests there
would be no immediate general in­
crease in wage rates applying to most
of the 3,500,000 men he expects to
put to work.
Acting on protests of cotton gar­
ment, shoe, broom and other manu­
facturers, the N.R.A. proposed for­
mally that $50,000,000 of the work
appropriation be loaned to help de­
velop varied industries in prisons,
and distribute competition of prison
goods among many private industries
instead of the present few.
The President, who has approved
allotment of $500,000,000 for high­
way, street and grade crossing elim­
ination work to be carried out by the
Federal Bureau of Roads and state
highway departments, was ui’ged by
the American Farm Bureau Federa­
tion to authorize expenditures on im­
proving back country roads.
The Work Progress Division will
be in charge of local projects whose
entire cost is borne by the federal
government. Some officials, recalling
that numerous P.W.A. applications
were withdrawn because of easier
terms undlr the Civil Works Admin­
istration, had predicted that unless
a change was made numerous cities
would take out a figurative “pauper’s
oath.”
In fact, even before the Senate had
voted, the once-defeated Vinson meas­
ure, which calls for full and imme­
diate cash payment of the bonus but
allows more orthodox means of rais­
ing the money, was reintroduced in
the House by Representative Fenerty,
Republican, Pennsylvania.
In view of the divided support back
of his move, Clark announced that he
might not press for action to his
amendment to* the Navy Bill, but in­
dicated he would offer it to some oth­
er legislation later. He felt he could
gain support for his bill because of
its alternate method of financing, un­
der which the President could issue
new currency, borrow on bonds, or
use the work-relief funds.

State’s program to provide financial
security for its millions of workers in
event of future unemployment was
formally launched with the appoint­
ment by Governor Herbert H. Leh­
man of an Advisory Council of nine
members to administer the insurance
fund.
The 1935 Legislature voted for cre­

efits to the jobless in conformity with
the national social security plan, plac­

Contributions from employers will
begin next March 1st, on a sliding
scale of from 1 to 3 per cent of their
payrolls based on business production,
but benefits to employes will not be
available until 1938.
The Advisory Council, which will
assist a director yet to be appointed,
represents the public, employer and

Farm Real Estate Value
Rises, Credit E a s i e r
Washington, May 27 (IP)— A gen­
eral upturn in farm real estate values
for the first time in “more than” a
decade and an easing in the farm
credit situation were reported simul­
taneously by the Agriculture Depart­
ment and the Farm Credit Adminis­
tration.
Entering its third year today the
Credit Administration said it loaned
$3,000,000,000 in the last two— aver­
aging $4,000,000 a day— and said 90
per cent., of the money advanced had
been used by farmers to pay credi­
tors, resulting in an interest saving of
$35,000,000 annually.
A three point rise in the index of
farm real estate values in the year
ending March 1st, or 79 compared
with 76 in 1934, and the “depression

Republican candidate for governor,'
in the opinion of State Chairman.
Melvin C. Eaton, will be an upstate
man.
He said today, “I believe from what
I’ve seen on my travels throughout
the state that the upstate will use
enough pressure to make sure of an
upstate candidate.”
“I don’t know who it will be,” he
said in answer to questions. “Public
opinion, I believe, will dictate the
choice when the time comes.”
Mr. Eaton believes Governor Leh­
man will not run again “because he
knows he is slipping and wants to]
dodge.”

FR. COUGHLIN
IS C R I T I C I S E D BY
BOSTON CARDINAL
Boston, May 24 (IP)— A scathing
attack on those who “stir uprisings
and create discontent in the hearts
of the poor” was made here by Wil­
liam Cardinal O’Connell, Roman
Catholic archbishop of Boston, in an
address yesterday before delegates at­
tending the Massachusetts Catholic
Order of Foresters.
“And all those disturbing voices,
the shouting, yelling and screaming,”
Cardinal O’Connell said “are so un­
becoming to anyone, who occupies
the place of a teacher in Christ’s
church, that even the quality of their
voices betray them. They are hysteri­
cal.”
^
Although a severe critic of Rev.
Charles E. Coughhlin on several oth­
er occasions, the Boston archbishop
did not refer by name to the Detroit
priest or his National Union for Social Justice.
“There are a million ways in which
any citizen of America can voice his
views, but it ought to be done with
self respecting honesty and, above all,
the proper respect due to superiors.
“That is the underlying principle
of Christian conduct. Otherwise you
have good reason to think that all the
pretense of having a superior knowedge and superior care for the poor
is sham.”

AMERICAN W A Y
Palo Alto, Cal., May 24 (A>)—Former President Herbert Hoover today
characterized as “not American” use
of the boycott to enforce N.R.A.
“American labor,” his statement

price fixing, limitation of output,
stifling of competition or any other
of the monopolistic and Fascist prac­
tices inherent in the N.R.A.”
