WASHINGTON, Apirl 17. The story
Is going all around the world by word
of mouth that Switzerland will go off
gold next, then
Holland, lastly
France. These de
velopments are
supposed to be
more or less of a
reasonable cer
tainty during the
next few months.
The point gen
erally made is
that these devel

set the differen

PAUL MALL ON
Joyed since devaluation and that
President Roosevelt will have to de
value again. The story seems to be
Kenerally sound, except the final con
clusion. It may surprise financial authori
ties to learn that the new dealers
are not primarily thinking In terms
of further devaluation now. They
believe that, after the gold bloc is
dissolved, the president will try to
call an Internationa) monetary con
ference prior to any further devalua
tion or stabilization moves.
To devalue Independently would
Injure chnnces of eventual stabiliza
tion. Our currency is undervalued
now anyway. We are a creditor na
tion with a favorable trade balance,
and this will hold the dollar up re
gardless of monetary moves.
The new deal crowd is thoroughly
smoked up on the inside about the
growing vocal volume of its opposi
tion. Mr. Roosevelt is actively or
ganizing to match voice for voice
and word for word.
That is why the' cabinet Is being
pushed out on the stump-again. In
side of a few days, last week, half
of them were out defending the new
deal. Interior Secretary Ickes was
sent to Philadelphia to answer the
Douglas attack. Agriculture Secretary
Wallace used his trip to Atlanta to
help quiet resistance to the cotton
program. Treasury Secretary. Mor
genthau took to the air. Professor
Tugwell explained to a New York
teachers' group that the new deal
was "the third economy," somewhere
between individualism and socialism.
He also termed It "delicate social
surgery.'
But the best example of the tech
slque now being employed In resist
ing attacks Is the story of how the
White House organized to handle the
New England governors.
The governors, led by Governor
Curley, came here with blood in their
yes, prepared to put on a good cam
paign aeainst the cotton program.
They wanted elimination of the pro
cessing tax. protection against Japan
ese eompptitlon and some other
things. Their pockets bulged with
statistics. They evrn had an ex
hibit of cheap Japanese goods at their
hotel.
But Mr. Roosevelt organized M ex
f tenslvely to meet them as they did
to bring pressure on him. State Sec
retary Hull was loaded with counter
statistics. These were used by Mr.
Roosevelt to show that Japanese
competition amounted to only 1 per
cent of domestic production. Com

enbtneteers. was pressed Into service.

Aviators Declare Trip Un
eventfulWeather Good
HONOLULU. April 17. ( AP) The
big clipper plane "Pioneer" alighted
on Pearl Harbor here at 7:57 a.m..
Honolulu time (10:27 a.m.. Pacific
standard time), after a 2400-mile
flight from Alameda. Calif.
The plane roared over Honolulu
at 7:05 a.m., Honolulu time, setting
a new record for the east to west
crossing of the Pacific.
Gliding gracefully down in a wide
circle, the clipper split the waters
of Pearl harbor exactly three min
utes before her scheduled landing
time.
The ship had spent S2 minutes
cruising over the city and adjacent
cane fields.
Cuts Record 7 Hours.
It cut exactly seven hours from
the best time made In the six pre
vious crossings from California. The
clipper's time was 17 hours and 45
minutes. -
Commander Kneffler McGtnnls led
a mass flight of six nnvy p'anea to
the Islands January 11, 1934, In 24
hours and 45 minutes.
The clipper, which left Alameda
at 3:50 p.m. (Pacific standard time)
yesterday, reached almost 160 miles
an hour at times.
Frequently, however, it slowed down
to keep on its exact schedule.
Weather conditions were unusually
favorable for the flight, and the
crew frequently messaged about the
scenic beauty of the aunset and the
moonlight as it skimmed through
the clouds. 1
Majestic in Its flight, the clipper
dipped a greeting to the thousands
of residents who gathered early to
await its arrival.
Exactly On Time.
Through the gray mists the huge
silver wings and large hull of the
clipper suddenly appeared nenring
the islands. ,
Exactly on schedule. Captain Ed
win C. Muslck and Pilot R. O. D.
Sullivan pointed its nose directly
over the city.
With smooth precision the clipper,
after cruising over the city, settled
on the waters of Pearl Harbor.
Captain Muslck sent her along the
choppy channel for a short distance,
then turned and headed Into position
before the concrete ramp.
The roaring motors were idled,
then two of them were stopped, the
other pair being used to maneuver
the ship into position.
The plane taxied to the ramp and
halted before about 1000 cheering
spectators. '

BONUS PAYING By
Sen. Harrison Says Presi
dent Will Approve Bill if
Passed by Congress
Cost $500,000,000 More
WASHINGTON. April 17. (AP)
A bond-redemption method of com
promising the cash bonus Issue
estimated to cost $1,300,000,000 and
designed to meet administration re
qulrementa was introduced today by
Chairman Harrison of the senate
finance committee.
Ha said his bill, which he fore
cast President Roosevelt would ap
prove If passed by congress, would
cost tha government soo,ooo,ouu
more than the present law.
It would advance the maturity
date of the adjusted service- cer
tificates from 1045 to 1038 and of
fer to exchange for them negotiable
bonds, rradliy convertible Into cash,
find Ready Market.
The bonds, which the veterans
could get in exchange for their cer
tificates, would bear Interest at 9
per cent, which Harrison said In a
statement would make It possible
for the soldiers to "find a ready
market for them."
But as an Incentive for veterans
not to redeem their certificates for
bonds, the bill would extend to
them the right to hold the certifi
cates until the old maturity date of
1945 and obtain 4 per cont Interest,
compounded annually.
Harrison said If all veterans took
advantage of the exchange offer, the
compromise plan would cost the gov
ernment $500,000,000 more than the
present law. He estimated the total
cost would be $1,300,000,000 or
$1,000,000,000 less than the cost or
the Patman bill which passed the
house. The Patman measure, how
ever, would expand the currency to
