T EOISLATIVE action in both' house
p * and senate was fast and furious
during the closing days of the session.
White House pressure was freely used :
filibusters were start
ed and stopped ; sen
ators and representa
tives, hot and both
ered, were Inclined to
be quarrelsome. But
congress had its or
ders and it wanted to
go home, so the ad
ministration program
in general was pushed
through.
One of the most
Senat0P
controversial
measures
_
.
.
laUTTey
qn that program, the
,
Guffey coal bill, had been driven
through the house by orders from
above and threats of a strike, and
when It was taken up by the senate
every effort to kill it, by eliminating
the tax feature, was defeated. Dur
ing the debate Senator Walter F.
George of Georgia, Democrat, created a
sensation by denouncing the bill in
these words:
“ Outside of political circles, it Is
questionable whether ‘ there are five
reputable lawyers in the United States
who would declare this measure con
stitutional. However, that is not the
worst feature of the bill. The worst
feature is the defect and infirmity In
the legislative program that we are
developing. This nation cannot re
main tree and happy, if we are to
legislate for groups, and. beyond all
of that, if groups are to legislate for
themselves the end of things is not
very far distant.
“ That is the situation we have con
fronting us. - And to this kind of pro
gram the Democratic party is willing
to commit itself 1”
Senator George was assailing the
proposal to set up district boards in
the coal industry, which would make
their own laws as to, trade practices
and regálate wages jan cl hours, allo
cate tonnages and; fix prices, with re
gard only for their own Interests.
“ This is the type of absolutism from
which we revolted to establish this Re
public,” ' he declared.
The house gave up the fight against
the “ death sentence” in the 'utilities
bill and instructed conferees to
accept a “compromise” that was pretty
much one-sided. This means that all
holding companies beyond the second
degree are to be .sentenced to death
by th e 'SEO promptly after January
1, 1938. Even a holding' company in
the second degree would not escape
qnless its operations were confined to
a single integrated system within a
state or within contiguous states..
Both senate and house adopted a
resolution making mandatory the em
bargo on munitions shipments to both
belligerents in case of war. This was
what the administration did not want,
claiming it would tie the hands of the
executive so that he could exert no
influence toward averting war.
Senate and house accepted the con
ferees’ report on the bill Increasing
the powers of TVA and legalizing that
body’s past actions and it was sent to
the White House. The senate passed
without a record vote the railway
bankruptcy amendments recommended
by Co-ordinator Joseph B. Eastman,
which are designéd to prohibit minori
ties from blocking reorganization plans.

quer Ethiopia, and all Europe is
trerbbling. II duce evidently feels that
his personal prestige is at stake, and
to him that means the
continuation of the
Fascist regime. An
thony Eden and Pierre
Laval offered Italy
what would amount
to a mandate over
. Haile Selassie’s realm,
but that, was n o t
enough, so the tri-
power conference in
Paris was declared ad
journed. The friend
ship between France
and Italy must be
ruptured.
Great Britain will in
sist on action by the League of Na
tions council when it meets Septem
ber 4. There is no reason to believe
that the council will do more than it
did in the Case of Japan’s seizure of
Manchuria, but it seemingly will be
forced' to denounce Italy’s action, and
¡that would be, enough to'induce Mus
solini to withdraw his country from
the league. ' If and when Italy defies
the league, that pretentious body,
previously defied successfully by Japan
and Germany, will amount, ta little.
After Baron Pompei Alois! had sub
mitted the Anglo-French proposition to
Mussolini and had received the duce’s
reply, be told Eden and Laval that his
master would be satisfied with nothing
less than “ annexation of Ethiopia in
whole or In part.” Laval was furious
and directly accused Mussolini of
breaking a personal promise made to
him when he visited Borne. Eden
abruptly brought the conference to a
close.'
Hurrying back to London, Captain
Eden took part in conferences held by
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and
the members of his cabinet, together
with various former ministers, opposi
tion leaders and public men not in
office. The situation was admittedly
tense and the advice of such men as
Lloyd George, Lord Cecil and Winston
Churchill was. sought by the govern
ment. Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign sec
retary, also called in representatives
of all the self-governing dominions.
It was understood the British govern
ment would be prepared fully to honor
its obligations under the League of
Nations covenant, these including the
denouncing of a nation that attacks
another member of the league. Of
course the air in London was full of
rumors o f war, but officials gave as
surance that Great Britain would move
with the greatest caution.
Paris heard unconfirmed reports that
Mussolini was trying to negotiate a
secret iniiltary alliance with Hitler. If
such a pact is signed it will greatly in
crease the chances of another general
European war.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S cotton
* textile committee submitted to him
certain recommendations to better the
industry, and he passed them on to
congress for future ac
tion. Secretary of Com
merce "Daniel Roper
heads the committee
and the other mem
bers are Secretary of
Labor Perkins, Secre
tary of Agriculture
Wallace and Secretary
of State Hull. The re
port proposed that a
friendly agreement be
sought with Japan to
limit the export “ of
Secre ary
textiles to this coun-
oper
try. The committee found that, al
though the Japanese imports have been
small, the American market has been
disturbed, with a resultant depression
in the industry here.
A continuance of the labor standards
provided under the NBA code was sug
gested. To this end it was recommend
ed that the government supplement
such voluntary efforts as are being
made by administrative and legislative
measures which may be feasible to aid
workers.
The committee recommended against
discontinuance -6f"the cotton processing
tax “ during the ' existing economic
emergency as reflected by existing price
disparities.” It held that the tax in
creases the purchasing power of farm
ers and thus benefits workers In the
cotton textile industry.
The government’s cotton loan policy
was found to be primarily Important to
the textile industry through its possible
stabilizing effect
Various technical recommendations
were made by the'report, but the prop
osition of representatives“ of the in
dustry that the .government virtually
subsidize cotton textile exports by an
allowance of 7 cents per pound was
disapproved.
CAMUEL B. PETTENGILL, Demo-
^ cratic representative from Indiana,
aroused the house to wild cheering by
a downright attack on Tom Corcoran,
