IfflMfi AT LEGION MEET
By PAUL MALL ON.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Oct. 34.
The advance publicity work be
tween the Dew dealers and the con
ventlon of Amer
ican bankers
here was so per
lectly harmon
ious that skep
tics have been
going around
saying there must
have been a deal.
That la a rath
er harsh thing
to say. Alter all,
harmony can be
achieved without
pre- arrangement.
The dove oi
4 peace has on previous occasions
been conceived by spontaneous com
bustion, although It Is supposed to
be an extremely difficult process
among persons' who regard each
other in such distant relationship as
existed between the new dealers and
bankers.
The new dealers started It by let
ting the news slip out unofficially
that It was against a central bank.
That story came two days before
the . bankers were to assemble. Al
most simultaneously there came an
official new deal announcement that
the sliver seigniorage profit In the
treasury was being frozen, that it
was not to be used now In an
Inflationary way.

If there Is one thing the bankers
fear more than monetary Inflation
It Is a central bank. These two sub
jects together certainly represent 60
per cent of all banking fears. In re
sponse, the leading officials of the
ABA stepped right out and flung a
few posies back at the new deal.
, They said they did not fear Presl-
dent Roosevelt very much, and that
the new dealers apparently were not
- such bad , fellow after, all.
It made the bankers' convention
feel as welcome In Washington as
If Mr. Roosevelt has gone out to
meet the delegates with a brass
band.
Regardless of how It all came
about, all the wisest new dealers
and bankers were very glad It hap
pened. There has been too much
misunderstanding on both sides. As
a matter of fact, the central bank
Idea Itself was a misunderstanding.
A few wide-eyed new dealers starteo
about a year ago to talk up the
Idea. No responsible official here
ever Indorsed It or seriously enter
tained it. Fully a month before the
bankers' convention opened, respon.
slble treasury officials decided to
amend the federal reserve act in
order to accomplish stronger central
credit control, rather than to try
to create a central bank. It was
carried In this column at the time.
Likewise there was nothing new
in the announcement about freez
i lng the sliver seigniorage profit.
That hss been done right along.
83, what really happened was that
the new dealers struck down two
dead ghosts to calm the bankers.
There Is Rolng to be more of that
sort of thing In relation to busi
ness generally. Tou might call it
"laying the ghosts of business
fears.'
MIAMI, Pla., Oct. 34. (AP) Im
mediate cash payment by the gov-
iernment of the soldier bonus at
face value was recommended In a
resolution adopted today by the
American Legion legislative committee.
Only two dissenting vote were
cast.
Kay Kelly of Detroit, chairman or
the committee, said no minority
reportwould be submitted when the
matter formally Is presented on the
convention floor, probably tomorrow.
Long Debate Looms
Debate on any one question has
been limited by the rules commit
tee to two hours. However, the
bonus Issue, most controversial ot
the convention, probably will be
given greater time, with various
angles of the question being brought
up as separate issues.
The convention adopted a report
of its time and place committee
awarding the 1935 convention to
St. Louis.
Mayor Bernard F. Dlckmann or
St. Louis personally extended an In
vitation from his city and handed
over a $25,000 check "In good faith."
Without discussion or a dissenting
vote, the convention adopted a re
port of Its national defense com
mittee recommending Increasing the
standing army to 14,000 officers and
165,000 men.
Air Merger Opposed
Consolidation of the army, navy
and marine corps air services was
opposed in the report.
Construction of an American navy
to full treaty strength was advo
cated. The report proposed a National
Guard strength of 310.000,-a reserve
officers corps of 120,000 men. and
necessary appropriations to provide
30,000 men with reserve corps train
ing during the next fiscal year.

The upshot of the ensuing dis

would give the administration a
chance to prove itself along the

way his friends put it. Another
thing recommended by the new deal
critic was the release of Agriculture
Secretary Wallace. He received no
encouragement on that score.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 34. (AP)
The nation's bankers were asked by
the Roosevelt administration today
to lend more liberally even to i-he
extent of making "loans they would
not ordinarily wish to make" and
"loans that will need to be Indulged."
Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the
Reconstruction Finance corporation,
which was organized to save banks
and businesses earlier In the depres
sion, made this plea before the Amer
ican Bankers association convention.
Though bankera say they have been
eager to lend. Jones declared there
was "Indisputable evidence they have
not done so as freely as they could."

WASHINGTON, Oct. 34. (AP)
The railroad retirement law enacted
at the last session of congress was
held unconstitutional today by Jus
tice Alfred A. Wheat In the District
of Columbia supreme court.
The ruling was banded down In a
suit brought In August by the Amer
ican Railway association on behalf of
more than 160 carriers.
The roads contended the law vio
lated the commerce clause of the con
stitution and the fifth amendment
prohibiting the taking of property
without due process of law.
They asked a temporary Injunction
to prevent the retirement board from
beginning administration of the law,
but this was denied August IB.
The next dav the retirement board
ordered all class one roads to pay
Immediately one-tenth of ono per
cent of their pay rolls Into the pen
sion fund. The assessment amounted
to 133, 000.
This decision makes ths first de
feat for the administration In a suit
brought In this Jurisdiction to teat
the constitutionality of the legislation.
After a general discussion of ths
purposes of the act, Chief Justice
Wheat's opinion said:
"When the act Is examined In de
tail, however. I find It contains pro
visions, which, In my opinion, were
beyond the power of congress and
wheh render it unconstitutional.
In the first place, the act Is un
constitutional because It extends Its
provisions to persons not engaged In
interstate commerce."
