WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. The big
adminlatratlon thinkers are ready to
a COU1 COO Mun wscj . v.s uww J
I smart In handling the Inauguration
of liquor.
They realize they should not have
' held down Imports In the 60 days
prior to repeal. Tftey say they were
ralaled by domestlo dlatlllera who
told them there was sufficient sup
ply at hand for the first few months,
The result is the whole business
got off to a recognized bad start.
There la a shortage which has boos
ted prices to an unreasonable level.
Bootlegging la continuing for Vie
time being In this section of the
country. Wets are running around
cussing the trusts.
It will be months before the sit
uation Is straightened out.
Liberality.
Interested parties have dug up a
letter on the liquor problem writ
ten by Joseph H. Choate; Jr., a
month before Mr. Roosevelt named
" fic. It was printed In the New York
Times of November 8, 1933, although
he may want to forget It now.
The letter shows how deeply
Choate felt about proposals for
stringent regulations.
"It 1 circumstantially stated," he
wrote, "that THE board means to
prohibit the sale of hard liquors for
consumption on the premises ex
cept with meals. If so, it Intends to
deal a crushing blow at temperance
and law enforcement.
"It seems to me certain. Viat the
people want to regain the right to
buy drinks by the glass."
Placidity.
There was not one-tenth of the
enthusiasm advertised In this part
of the country when the liquor
stores opened. Private clubs did not
generally hold celebrations as they
did at the return of beer. There
was little public merry-making.
Consumers acquainted with friend
ly druggists continued to get pre
scription whisky In Washington
cheaper than It was being sold in
nearby Maryland liquor stores. Oth
ers took advantage of bootleggers
fire sales, buying what purported to
be Imported stuff at half what the
Maryland stores were charging.
The majority of people paid no
attention to It whatever, saying they
probably would go over to" a Mary
land store to get a bottle sometime
before Christmas, If they got around
to It.
Advertising.
Mr. Roosevelt is supposed to come
out strong for t,h Tugwell adver
tising bill In his coming message to
' congress.
A confidential report on It has been
submitted to the White House by
the agricultural department. How
strong Mr. Roosevelt will go Is NOT
yet evident.
Unless he speaks the measure will
be radically revised If not snowed
under with amendment on the
floor of both houses of congress.
There Is considerable inside Jock
ylng by proponents and opponents
Chairman Copeland tried to confine
the senate .hearings to two days.
That was a maneuver to keep the
opposition publicity to a minimum.
Educntton.
Whenever the new deal gets In full
f swing, you will see the administra
tion move to develop culture and ed
ucation on a federal scale. It will
then get around to Improving condi
tions for leisure and learning.
That Is one of the subject Mayor
Elect Ouardla of New York Is sup
posed to have discussed recently at
the White House.
He has a plan whloh. he will offer
In a national radio hookup the lat
ter part of next month.
Mr. -Hoover had one too but he
never got to use It because the de
pression overtook him.
Farm Planning.
The' cheering liberals now are
confident that the agricultural pro
gram will be further liberalized In
accordance wltb their views.
Only George Peek has heretofore
stood In their way.
They are NOT contemplating any
large scale amplification of the pro
gram but they Jiave several little
theories they are going to try out
from time to time.
Perk.
It is not generally known but Ag
ricultural Secretary Wallace could
vhave fired AAA Director George
'Peek any time he wanted to. The
AAA Is under the agricultural de
partment. There are several reasons w.hy
Wallace let the White House handle
the matter. One Is that Peek was
appointed by Mr. Roosevelt. Anoth
er is that Peek spent half a million
dollars of hi own money In a in
rere effort to develop farm relief
in line with his own beliefs. His
ability is equaled by few men In
public office.
Notes.
Whether or not It la true, the ad
ministration believe It galna strength

Peek.' friends are complaining

WALLACE PLEADS
FOR SUPPORT OF
Agriculture Secretary Re
views Administration's Ef
forts in Address Before
Federation Convention
CHICAGO, Dec. 12. (AP) Secre
tary of Agriculture Wallace present
ed today a report of hta stewardship
as champion of the farmers' rights
and asked members of the American
Farm Bureau Federation to bide with
the Roosevelt administration's pro
gram for recovery.
Wallace sat on the speaker' plat
form at the National Farm Bureau
convention with George N. Peek, ad
minis tra tor of the agricultural ad
justment act, who .ha been appointed
to another post outside the depart
ment after disagreement with some
of the Wallace policies.
Peek Listens
The secretary of agriculture ar
rived after Peek had finished speak
ing and Peek remained to listen to
his address.
The farmer should look upon the
recovery plan, Wallace said, with a
broad viewpoint, rather than -with a
gaze confined to local problem or
questions affecting any single crop
or phase In the wide range covered
by the AAA.
Both he and Peek urged that far
mers not be dissatisfied over slow
ness In the program, and both de
clared already much more good than
appeared on the surface had been
done.
In only one respect did their re
marks differ: Concerning the possi
bility of increasing agricultural in
come by export., Peek's new posi
tion Is with a department which will
seek to Increase such export.
Foreign Mart Lost
Said Wallace: A foreign purchas
ing power for our farm products that
before the war operated automati
cally, as we paid Europe our debt
to her in cotton and wheat and pork
products, since the war ,ha shriv
eled and almost vanished.
"I hope that no enthusiast will
try to persuade us now to loan mil
lion of dollars abroad unless and
until we are definitely ready to re
ceive foreign goods in payment for
the loans, as well as for the Interest
on them."
Said Peek: "The agricultural ad
justment administration can not
claim any credit for the recognition
of Russia but the reopening of that
market should absorb some of our
surpluses.
To Study Foreign Trade '
"The- whole question of foreign
trade will reward, I believe, a very
careful looking Into, There ha been
set up an lnterdepartmont trade
commission to study the entire ques
tion of possible exports and Import,
and on this commission agriculture
1 represented."
Loud applause from the 1000 far
mers attending the convention greet
ed the outlines sketched by both
Peek and Wallace of the administra
tion's fsrm program, and it results
so far. A resolution expressing faith
In the federal farm recovery plan
will come before the convention to
morrow. EN

ahead until wc know exactly
what our dollar is worth," is
hooey. Tour bankers and your
financier's marry with no gold
clause. The preacher just guar
antees you she is a wife. How
long you can keep her, what
she is worth to you, is all up to
you.
I?nosevclt, like tlio preacher,

always ho used for a dollar."
