Tugwell Confirmed by Senate Despite Bitter Attacks—
Darrow Board Assails Johnson—President Roosevelit’s
Plans for Social Regeneration.
By EDWARD
© by Western Newspaper Union.
EXFORD GUY TUGWELL’S appearance before the senate agriculture committee to be quizzed as to
his fitness for the position of undersecretary. of agriculture was rather farcical; even. though it
brought on heated encounters among the
members. of. the committee. The senators
aired their own views
freely, but learned almost nothing concern‘ing those of Mr. Tugwell, He did tell them
he believed the ConStitution was flexible
R. G. Tugwell
enough to take care of any necessary
economic changes; that he wus opposed to the adoption of Soviet planning by America, and that he thought
his experience on his father’s farm
and his research qualified him for the
position to which the President had
appointed him. Finally the committee
reported the nomination favorably, the
only two opposing votes being: those
of “Cotton Ed” Smith of South Carolina and. Henry D. Hatfield of West
Virginia.
The action. of the committee assured Tugwell’s confirmation by the
senate, but the debate on the floor
was unexpectedly long and the attacks . .
on Tugwell were outspoken. Senator
Schall of Minnesota, for instance, said:
“Agriculture demands and already
has experiment stations dealing in
actual crops, live stock, and markets.
It wants no ‘bold experiments in collectivism’ by a self-styled philosopher
who functions like a three card monte
sharp who jumps upon a box with
three shells and a pea and who entertains the public with his cry, ‘Now
you see it and now you don’t. Who is
the next gent?
“Tugwell’s general denial, and his
specific denials, in the light of his associates in the field of political writing, are absolutely worthless. They
are an insult to an intelligent jury.
He insults the United States senate
in order to gain a high office from
which he can preach ‘collectivism’ as
a substitute for American institutions
and the Constitution.”
ro the delegates of the steel
workers’ unions were gathering
in Pittsburgh to vote on the threatened strike, President Roosevelt and
his advisers brought forward a plan
for an emergency law designed to
avert the walkout. It was admittedly
a temporary expedient to give the
President an effective agency for the
consideration of industrial disputes
arising during the life of the NRA.
Under the new bill’s terms, boards
selected by the President would. be
empowered to order and conduct an
election, by a secret ballot, to determine “by what person or persons or
organizations” employees may desire
to be represented.in negotiations under the collective bargaining features
of the national recovery act.
The proposed boards also would
have the authority to order production of pertinent documents and witnesses to give testimony under oath,
and their orders would be enforceable
by any United States court of competent jurisdiction, similar to like privileges enjoyed by the federal trade
commission. Vested with authority to
prescribe their own rules and regulations, the boards would be armed with
a penalty clause in the new law, setting $1,000 fine or a year imprisonment, or both, for violation of their
decrees.
N ITS second report to the President the national recovery review
board, headed by Clarence Darrow,
loosed another blast at Administrator
Johnson and in effect recommended
his removal as head of the NRA. The
board said Johnson had given the recovery program an un-American and
dictatorial tinge that handicapped it
in the war on depression; that he has
arbitrarily decreed life and death. for
industries, and that by arbitrary modifications of codes he has helped big
business concerns to oppress their
smaller competitors.
“The rule of the military commander
fs totally unsuited to the genius, habfits, traditions, or chology of the
American people, a holly ineffectual in meeting the present national
erisis,” the board concluded.
The second Darrow report covered
the retail dry goods, warehousing, lumber, cement, retail food, boot and shoe,
electrical manufacturing, bédding, petroleum, coffee, plumbing fixture, embroidery, and lead pencil codes. Complaints against the warehousing, electrical manufacturing, and embroidery
codes were dismissed as without foundation, But in the other codes the
board claimed to find oppression of
msumers,

ENATOR ARTHUR ROBINSON of
Indiana, who was renominated by
the Republicans, will be opposed at
the polls next fall by Sherman Minton, the selection of the Democratic
State convention. Mr. Minton, a
World war veteran, is now publie
counselor for the public service commission of the state. His nomination
was a victory for Governor McNutt
over the faction led by R. Earl Peters,
former state chairman.

Judge James E. Horton, who presided in the second trial of Hey wood

then set aside a jury verdict of death,

of Birmingham retained his seat as
congressman from. the Ninth district,
but Congressman Miles C. Allgood of
the Fifth district was beaten by Maj.
Joe Starnes.
MMEDIATE relief from distress and
recovery of business prosperity fall
far short of President Roosevelt's
plans for regeneration of the nation.
“Hy This was revealed in
his special message to
congress which told
of the plans and recommendations he
would submit to the
next congress. He
asked for no: present
legislation, but gave
notice of the social
experiments he _ proposes. to begin next
winter,
The message discussed the three factors of housing, land and_ resource
planning and old age and unemployment insurance,
Expressing satisfaction over progress ‘in relieving industry, agriculture,
and unemployment, the President, asserting his right to chart social reforms, declared, “It is childish to
speak of recovery first and reconstruction afterward.”
Taking up the housing problem, he
said millions of dollars had already
been provided to improve living conditions, and voiced the hope that with.
passage of his housing program private capital would be stimulated to
widen the scope of home building.
Discussing planned control of the
land, he declared that hundreds of
thousands of families now live “where
there is no reasonable prospect of a,
living in the years to come.”
Sounding the failure of the government thus far to create a “national
policy” for the development of land
and water resources, Mr. Roosevelt indicated his intention of providing such
a policy, and for the transferring to
new lands of “those people who cannot make a living in their present positions.”
Outlining his views on providing security against unemployment and old
age, Mr. Roosevelt said he was seeking a “sound means” which he could
recommend to provide an immediate
safeguard against these “hazards and
vicissitudes of life.”

CONGRESS completed action on the
communications bill and it was?
handed to the President for his signature. This new law puts an end to the
federal radio commission and creates
a new board of seven members known
as the federal communications commission that not only takes over the
duties of the radio board but also all
control that has been exercised by the
interstate commerce commission over
telegraphic and telephonic communications,
As set forth in the law, its enactment is for the purpose of regulating
interstate and foreign commerce in
communication by wire and radio to
make available, so far as possible, to
all the people of the United States a
rapid, efficient, nation-wide and worldwide wire and radio communication
Service with adequate facilities, at
reasonable charges, for the purpose of
national defense and for the purpose
of securing a more effective execution
of this policy by centralizing authority
heretofore granted by law to séveral
agencies; and by granting additional
authority with respect to interstate
and foreign commerce in wire and
radio communication, .
A significant new provision which the
bill carries’ into law is the assertion
of full control over all wire and radio
communications by the government in
case of war or “public peril.” Under
this section the President has authority to take over all wire and radio
offices and stations with just compensation to persons entitled thereto.
ARGELY through the efforts of
Norman Davis, American ambassador at large, the European statesmen at Geneva were «persuaded to
drop their quarreling
and adopt a_ mild
compromise resolution
that prolonged’ the
life of the disarmament, conference,
Great Britain and
France agreed upon
a plan, based on the
return of Germany to
the conference, and
the aid of Italy was
enlisted. It was arranged that Chancellor Hitler -should go
to Venice and that Premier Mussolini should fly to that city to confer
with his fellow dictator, whom he had
never met. Later Louis’ Barthou,
French foreign minister, is expected
to go to Rome for a talk with Mussolini in ‘which the misunderstandings
between their countries may be ironed
out.
Mussolini and Hitler were to discuss
European policies generally, and, specifically, the German claims to full
armament and the Austrian question,
involving Nazi propaganda in the latter countrv.
This Anglo-French compromise was
a diplomatic setback for Russia, but
the Soviet republic countered with the
announcement that it had been recognized by Czechoslovakia and Rumania.
Recognition by Jugoslavia was expected to follow shortly. Maxim Litvinov’s
announcement was taken to mean that
the Russians intend to go ahead with
their policy of encircling Germany.
The recognition was effected by an
exchange of letters between Litvinov
and Dr. Edward Benes, foreign minister of Czechoslovakia, and Nicholas
Titulescu, foreign, minister of Rumania. After suggesting an early exchange of ministers, which will assure that relations between their countries ‘‘will always remain friendly and
correct,” each of these letters. adds
the phrase, “our peoples will collaborate in the future to maintain the
peace of the world.”
German papers agree a new chapter
in relations between Soviet Russia and
the powers of southeastern Europe
has been opened. It is expected the
next step probably will be the conclusion of a commercial agreement between the little entente and Moscow,
one of the purposes being to minimize
the effect of Soviet dumping of lumber and cereals in the entente nations,
Nonaggressions and mutual assistance
pacts. are said to be in the background.
A committee of the disarmament
conference had wnder consideration
the matter of guarantees for any convention which may be agreed upon;
but when the question was submitted
to the Japanese delegate he said his
government could not consent to guarantees without reservations: There.
upon the Russian delegate said the
Soviet. government would not accept
any such agreement that was not
signed by Japan.

VEN the Democrats in congress
are not boasting openly -of their
success "in passing the bill‘ for a census of the unemployed, and many of
them voted against it or were absent
when it came up for final passage,
That it was designed mainly to give
jobs for the faithful at the expense
of the national treasury was clear, for
the census takers are not to get their
jobs until after the November congressional slections. Then they will
receive $2 a day for a long period, obtaining answers. to au elaborate questionnaire.
Pp RSet ER STRICKEN regions of the
Middle West were blessed with
soaking rains, and hope was held out
for forage crops and corn. The earlier
crops, however, are ruined over most
of the area. Secretary Wallace, after
a ‘trip through the “dry” -states, described the drouth as a “tragedy” for
the farmers who are suffering from its
ravages, but a. possible future “blessing for the country as a whole.”
