Ntkrs I CLAIM OF ERROR
By PAI L M.M.LON
(Copyright, 1934, by Paul Mallon )
WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 1. A
leading opposition senator, who does
not try to tool himself, confessed the
other day that his pot shots at the
NRA, AAA and brain trust really had
been Intended for the head man In
the White House.
"You cannot attack Roosevelt yet,"
aald he. "It's not the political thing
to do."
Anyone with half an eye open could
discern that current underlying situ
ation. At first, the new deal could
not be attacked at all because popu
lar opinion demanded unanimous pa
triotic support of It. Now anyone
except President Roosevelt can be at
tacked with political safety.
That situation cannot last long.
Soon the attacks will be made direct
ly on Mr. Roosevelt.
Politics gradually la getting back
to normal.
A sharp news man was sent to
Washington by a New York financial
newspaper a few days ago and told
to find out what in the deuce is the
basic Idea behind the new deal.
He went first to a head farm man
in the AAA who said:
"Basic Idea, eh? Well, I admit I do
not always understand the basic idea
among those fellows in the NRA, but
down here in the AAA, it's simple
Purchasing power, etc sur
pluses, etc 1 And went on like
that for an hour.
The news man staggered up to one
of the administration's best econc-
mists and demanded to know In a '
few words what the new deal was all
about. The economist replied
"Just now It's housing."
Still perplexed, the news man went
on to a wise old Washington observer
who formerly had been a news man
himself. He replied:
"The psychology of the new deal Is
to get as much reform as you can."
That's the answer.
Administration strategists -accepted
the disclosure of Father Coughlin'a
Indirect marginal purchases of silver
aa an anti -climax. They knew it alt
along.
Weeks ago Father Coughlin told
a senator, who asked him about it,
that he had silver stocks. That word
went around the inner circl.r al
' though it could not be publlshedun
tll official proof existed.
It may hurt the silver catfse be
cause much of the popular silver sup
port was based on the belief that the
leading 6llver agitators were disin
terested and unbiased.
Attacks made on Treasury Secre
tary Morgenthau for disclosing the
silver list lack surface substantiation.
Mr. Morgenthau was required to sub
mit the list by an official demand
from the senate.
If you dig back under the surface;
however, you will find that Mr. Mor
genthau originated the Idea of get
ting up a list of silver stockholders,
Naively, he made that fact public.
When coneress heard about it, the
resolution demanding publication of
the list was passed.
Few disinterested parties will quar
rel with Mr. Morgenthau about that
because all he did was to try to show
who would profit if the government
helped sliver.
The NRA is having more inside
trouble with the government than negotiate ior wiunui imcrierenco
with Henry Ford in enforcing codes, from authorities.
A certain dealer In cotton waste ! Out of 24 hours of widespread de
had a large contract with a federal ; velopments in the seizure of the lit-
arsenal. The NRA found that the
dealer was not operating under the
Blue Eagle and wrote him, advising
him to release his contract with the
arsenal.
The dealer was glad to get Off
without punishment or publicity and
wrote to the arsenal agreeing to drop
the contract, but the arsenal refused.
The dealer now is chuckling, the
KRA fuming.
The highest speed of efficiency has
been reached In a bureau of the home
owners' loan corporation which hen-
dies applications.
There are two shifts of workers,
tolling eight hours a day each. Heads
of each shift have been promoting
contest to see which can do the most
work. The record of the day shift Is
submitted to the night shift and vice
versa. Pep talkers demand that each
outdo the other, and the pressure la
strong.
The latest stunt of the night shift
was to cut 18 minutes off the lunch
hour so It could turn out more work.
Apparently they never heard ot the
NRA.
One member of the NRA review
board did not want to sign Lawyer
Darrow'a critical report to the presi
dent because he did not believe such
strong language against the NRA
should be used In addressing the
president. If there l one man In the
government here who can put as
much fire In his words as General
Johnson It ! Darrow.

Polite But Direct Reminder
Given Nipponese That
'Overlordship in Asia'
Must Stick Within Treaty
TOKYO, May 1. (AP) -The
communication of Cornell Hull,
I'nlted States secretary of state,
on Japanese policy In the Far
East, was pointedly Ignored In a
written communique glren by the
foreign office to the Japanese
press tonight.
By LLOYD A. IXHRBAS
WASHINGTON, May 1. P) The
atate department awaited Far Eastern
reaction today to its polite but direct
reminder to Japan that claims 01
"overlordship in Asia" must stick
within treaty limits.
Cordell Hull, soft-spoken secretary
of state, unfolded to newsmen last
night a statement asserting beneath
smooth diplomatic language that the
United states does not approve or
Japanese control, as projected, over
Chinese affairs.
Treaty still Prevails.
The statement delivered In sub
stance to Foreign Minuter Hi rota last
Sunday bv Ambassador Joseph C.
Grew la Tokyo, stated in effect:
First, that Japan la still a party to
treaties for the maintenance of Chi
nese sovereignty:
Second, that treaties cannot be
legally "modified or terminated" ex.
cept by the processes agreed upon by
the contracting parties; ana,
Third, that the United State ha
certain right m China and 'proposes
'to keep' them. ?
Borah Concurs.
Although both the Japanese am'
baasador and the Chinese minister
here had no immediate atatement
concerning the American stand to
ward the modified Nipponese policy.
there came from Senator Borah (R
Idaho) a auick statement:
"I like it very much and find my
self In full agreement with it."
In the atatement handed out by
Hull it was said:
"Treaties can lawfully be modified
or be terminated only by processea
prescribed or recognized or agreed
upon by the parties to them.
Rights Considered.
"In the international associations
and relationships of the United
States, the American government
seek to be duly considerate of the
rights, the obligations and the legiti
mate interest of other countries, and
it expect on the part of other, gov
ernments due consideration of the
rights, the obllgatlona and the legiti
mate interest of the United States.
"In the opinion of the American
people and the American government,
no nation can, without the assent of
the other nation concerned, right
fully endeavor to make conclusive its
will in situations where there are In
volved the right, the obllgatlona and
tho legitimate Interest of other aov
erelgn atates."

WASHINGTON, May 1. (AP) The
house, readily In accord with main

Several Inconspicuous treaties re
ceived senate committee sanction.
The main one: Regulation of Inter

signed 9 years ago at Geneva by 44
nations.
Motivated by trade protests, the
senate agriculture committee decided
to reconsider Its approval of the bill
to supplement provisions of the agri
cultural adjustment act relating to
licensing of Industry.
By 45 to 28, the senate returned to
the house a modified bill to author
ize over 3000 debt-burdened cities

REPLY TO STATE
MOTION ON FILE
Gordon L. Schermerhorn, former
sheriff, convicted of vote-stealing
conspiracy, through his attorney to
day filed a reply to the motion ofj
the state, for a dismissal of hl ap- I
peal to the state supreme court.
Schermerhorn Is under a. three year,
sentence in state prison and at lib
erty on bonds.
The state contends that the appeal
was not filed within the time re
quired by law.
The reply brief holds that Bcher-
merhorn did all possible to complete
the brief within the legal tlmo but
was delayed by circumstances over
which he had no control, due to tho
absence of tho presiding Judge, sick
ness of the court stenographer . and
confusion of court routine growing
out of tho ballot theft trials.
The district attorney's office last
weofc completed the reply brief in the
appeal of Ted Haines, Red Top dis
trict resident, now serving three
years In state prison for conviction
of a statutory offense involving a 14-year-old
girl.
Haines through hi attorney,
Rawles Moore, holds that he was
brought to trial on short notice and
that prejudicial evidence was sub
mitted to the Jury.
The reply brief contends that
Haines had a fair trial, that due no
tice of tho trial date waa served upon
his counsel and the ordinary legal
processes followed.
Haines has been confined in state
prison since last October,
