WASHINGTON. May 21. Ttas non
chalance with which the new deal
came out left-handedly in favor or
buying the fed
eral reserve sys
tem, lock, stock
and vaults, was
somewhat mysti
fying. Treasury Sec
retary Morgen
thau Interjected
his Indorsement
as a sort of "by
the way" after
thought, while
testifying about
the new bank
bill. President
PAl'l. MALLON
Roosevelt murmured a quiet ap
proval while reaching for a cigar
ette at a press conference. Now.
everyone knows that a government
does not ordinarily Indorse any such
seemingly revolutionary suggestions
In such a casual way. But the new
dealers have performed many un
precedented feats before and have
performed them casually. Conse
quently there appeared to be more
behind this move than the off-hand
treatment of It would Indicate, and
there Is.
The underlying explanation why
Measrs. Roosevelt and Morgenthau
did not go any stronger on It ap
pears to be that they did not think
It waa Important. Apparently they
neglected to stress that because there
are other people who think It Is,
notably Father Coughlln.
It Is a little known fact, but the
government could buy up the capi
tal stock of the 12 federal reserve
banks for $146,000,000. This Is small
change to a government spending
four billions for relief alone. The
stock Is now held entirely by mem
ber banks (those private bankers
whom Coughlln always talks about.)
It Is little to them financially be
cause It represents only 3 per cent
of their own total capital stocks. It
pays dividends, but It figures very
small In ths banking structure of
the nation.
Tke financial expert of the gov
ernment have never though much
about buying thla stock for the sim
ple reason that they run the 12
banks anyway. They did not figure
that they needed to buy aomethlng
they already operated through the
federal reserve board.
Apparently the system was set up
that, way a maintain tne illusion
that the banking system was demo
cratic. It waa a proper constitutional
subterfuge to let the bank stock be
privately owned and then have the
government regulate the banks ener
getically. This regulation bn always been
mora or less strong. The strength
waa Increased by emergency bank
ing acts since the new deal came In.
And under this new bank bill, the
board will be able even to tell all
the federal reserve bankers what
color shirt to wear and how to
comb their hair.
Tou can see from this that the
strategy of new deal reformers has
been to expand their power over the
federal reserve. It will be complete
If they get this new bank bill. That
Is what they are primarily Interested

(Copyright, ifKW. by the A-soclated
Press)
BERLIN, Gcr.. May 21. (AP
Reichsfuehrer Hitler told the world
today that the victors of the world
war had turned their backs on the
peace principles laid down by Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson and that, as a
result, Germany was forced to rearm
although her greatest desire waa for
peace and friendship with her neigh
bors. To this end he proposed mutual
non-aggression pacta with all Ger
many's neighbors, excepting Lithu
ania, but Including Russia by infer
ence. He said, however, that Ger
many, aa the "bitterest and most fa
natical" enemy of bolshevlsm, would
not Join any general security pact
which might compel Nazis to fight on
the side of communism.
Would Curb War Implement!
He also proposed the elimination
of aerial bombs and of fire, gas and
explosive bombs from warfare, de
claring ns he closed his address:
"We believe that If the people of
the world would unite Jointly In de
stroying all their fire, gas and explo
sive bombB. this would be a cheaper
affair than destroying each other.
"I cannot close my address better
than by repeating our confession of
faith In peace."
Der Fuehrer made his address, long
awaited a a definite statement of
Germany's relationship to the rest of
world, after receiving an ovation by
hundreds of thousands of cheering
Germans packing the streets outside
the Krol opera house, where the relch
stag assembled.
"I have the duty to speak perfectly
open." Hitler told his audience an
audience which was multiplied by
millions through radio. "The Ger
man nation has tne right to demand
this from me and I am determined
to obey this demand.
War Iieirlert
"If the Germany of today favors
peace. It favors It neither out of
weakness nor cowardice. National so
cialism (the nazi party) dogmatically
declines to entertain the Idea of na
tional assimilation. We give no in
structlons for the Germanlzatton of
non-German names. We decry war
for the subjugation of foreign people
Then he directed his attention
bluntly toward other nations, say
ing: "If the nations are so concerned
about numerically Increasing their
population, they can accomplish this
through an Increasing readiness to
bring forth offspring and can. In a
very few years, present their nation
with more children of their own peo
ple than they could foreign peoples
vanquished by war."
Again voicing his oft-repeated con
tention that Germany desires peace.
Hitler declared:
"Nazt Germany wants peace from a
primitive realization that no war
would be calculated to alleviate the
essentially general European distress
but would tend, on the contrary, to
Increase It.
Has Lung Program
"Germany of today Is Immersed in
the tremendous work of repairing its
domestic damages. None of our sub
jects of a factual nature will be coni
pleted before 10 or 20 years. None of
our task of an Ideal nature can find
Its fulfillment before 50 or even 100
years.
"What else could I desire but quiet
and peace?"
Speaking of world affairs In gen
eral, the German leader said:
"For some time the world has been
living in

Capitol Hears Roosevelt Will
Reject Any Proposal for

to World War Veterans
WASHINGTON, May 3!. ,ypi As
the capitol heard that President
Roosevelt would reject any proposil
for full and Immediate payment or
the bonus, plans for a Joint congres
sional session tomorrow to receive the
veto message on the Patman bill were
blocked temporarily at least by Sena
tor Stelmer (R., Ore ), and Long (D..
La.t.
Stelwer held up action on the reso
lution to authorl7 the joint session
for almost an hour with a speech de
nouncing It as unconstitutional and
merely a "stage setting."
He said the Idea waa "contrary to
the spirit of our form of govern
ment" In that it would give the chief
executive's "eto greater influence
than It wns designed to have.
. Senator Tydings (D.. Mr.), then
launched Into a long discussion of
foreign trtade when Long refused to
permit an Immediate vote on th
resolution for a Joint session.
Senator Robinson, democratic lesd
er who called up the resolution, con
tended there was no limitation In the
constitution against Joint sessions
whenever the two houses chose to
have them.

HEALTH BOARD TO
AFTER JUNE FIRST
Effective on the first day of June,
state plumbing inspection will go
into the hands of the state board of
health. Instead of being carried on
under supervision of the state labor
commissioner, according to H. C. Wil
liamson of Model Plumbing and
Sheet Metal Co.. who returned this
week from the annual convention of
the Master State Plumbers' associa
tion. The change was made as a health
measure, as In the past In many rural
sections plumbing fixtures from mall
order houses were placed In homes
without Inspection and ln an unsani
tary manner, Williamson said. The
new Inspector, under supervision of
the board of healtn, will have police
power and the entire state will be
covered rigidly, according to Mr. Wil
liamson. Describing business cond 1 1 1 o n s
aa "somewhat Improved, especially in
the Coos Bay district." Mr. William
son said he saw Indications of renew
ed building activity In some sections
of the state, although Utile building
was being done In the business center
of Portland and In Seattle.
Accompanied by his family, he
made a trip along the Washington
coast before returning to Marshfleld,
where the annual convention wns
held. Williamson, a member of the
board of directors of the Master
Plumbers' association, was an official
delegate to the convention. He said
it was well attended, with several also

FOREST FIRE WAR
When the summer fire season hits '
the Medford district, the forest sorv-.
Ice and army will be prepared to meet j
It with a new plan of action designed I
to permit the utmost speed In es
tablishment of fire camps.
The plan has been worked out be
tween the regional foresters at Port
land and San Francliwo. both of
whom have forests ln this dlstrlc,.
and Major Clare H. Armstrong. Med
ford district commander.
Under the new plan, the men ln
each company will be organized in
squads of eight, with one of ths
eight men designated a "fire boss."
Under normal condition, 12 squads
of eight In each camp will form the
first fire line and will be ths first
to be sent out to a major fire. The
remainder of the men will form sec
ondary squads. '
All squads will be trained ln fire
fighting under the direction of the
forest service and when the men are
on the fire line, at least one forest
service foreman for each three squa
will he on the Job to supervise thc
fire fighting and protect thc safety
of the men. The "fire boss" of each
squad will wear a red brassard on h i
arm for Identification purposes while
on the fire line.
The army will sot up the camoi.
supply, feed and bed the men and
establish first aid stations. The for
est service will keep one "stand by"
truck on hand at each camp to be
used for emergency evacuation of the
camp, or transportation of Injured
members.
The plan also covers thc details
of administration and will pcrmtt
oiose cooperation between the two
services.
Captain Chauncey L. Pierce hts
been named "army fire chief for th

SAC'KAM KNTO, Cal., May
J0. That was a terrible thinfc
about lliat lii Russian plane. I
.saw it wln'ii I was there. They
said themselves that it had
never been much of s success.
Hut Russia is just at that state
like we used to be, where they
want the " bi'est" of every
thing so it would make good
rendinu when they would write
hmv hip; 't was.
It was a warehouse with six
engines nn it. They could jack
it up and pet it above thc field
in Moscow, but I don't think it
hail ever been out of town.
The Ri-eat sport in Russia is
parachute juinpinj.'. They used
to take half the town up in this
and let 'cm jump. Out don't tret
the impression that all the
planes there can't jret out of
town. It's the most air-minded,
ambitious nation in the world,
and those old "Rushions" can
fly.
