(Copyright, 1935, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, July 23. The man
behind the Tydlngs-McCormlclc sedi
tion bill Is Navy Secretary Swanson.
He got steamed
up recently about
the reds circu
lating propagan
da among his
sailors. The stok
er who brought
him to the boil
ing point was
Commander V. L.
Kirk man, who Is
head of a new
red - chasing
squad In the
navy.
You may have TALL MALLON
noticed that the army docs not ap
pear to be equally excited about rods
In its branch of the service. War
Secretary Dern wrote a letter ap
proving the bill, but this was done
at the Instance of Mr, Swanson.
The real army slant on the move
was given privately by chief of staff,
McArthur to congressmen. He Is sup
posed to have told them he consid
ered the bill unnecessary, If not silly.
It Is understood MacArthur, "the
best soldier In the army," has a way
of handling: reds which does not re
quire a l&w.
If people knew more about the way
laws are made, the statute books
would not be as thick as they are.
Most laws originate Just where the
sedition bill did. In the mind of a
person of Influence, who has an Idea
to meet a specific situation. Such
people, even congressmen, usually
esnnot write law themselves. That
Job is turned over to experts In legal
verbiage.
When the draftsmen get through
with it, the congressmen do not al
ways know what the law means. In
fact, no one knows exactly until
the supreme court starts Interpreting
It, and sometimes the members of
the court Itself disagree.
In this cose, the draftsmen did
not say simply that anyone who cir
culates communist propaganda In
the navy should go to Jail, They
tried to write a, legal definition of
subversive Influence. The result may
apply equally to any sweetheart who
writes a letter to a sailor urging him
to skip out for a dance. Also It may
apply to any newspaper editor pub
lishing Interviews with a war de
partment critic like Billy Mitchell.
A fine of $1,000 and two years In
Jail Is provided for anyone thus at
tempting to Influence the apparently
uncertain minds of the lads before
the mast.
None of the government publicity
men has been issuing any state
ments about the crowd of boatmen
who came here the other day from
a Great Lakes port. The boatmen
told a strange taie, created a prob
lem. For years, about 200 of them have
been working for ron tractors on
barges, dredges and heavy machinery,
clearing river channels and improv
ing harbors. The other day, some of
them were called In by a contractor
who said:
, "Boys, I am sorry, but on August
1, I've got to lay you all off. I've
gor- a government dredging contract
and I have to take my workers from
the relief rolls, so I can't use you
fellows any rriore."
The bargemen took up a collection
to send the delegation to Washing
ton to ask what sense there was in
a relief law which deprives them of
their Jobs, As this was written, re
lief boss Hopkins wss still trying
to find the answer.
Never again can they call Uncle

spoilsman. The other day, he an-

Limited Ban Against Suits
to Recover Processing
Taxes Also Provided
Hot Debate Precedes Vote
WASHINGTON. July 33. (AP)
I Carrying a limited ban against suits
; to recover processing taxes and a pro-
I t'UInn lnttiHX tn tillHf vlrtl o n
crop control contracts, the adminis
tration's' AAA bill was passed by the
senate today after two weeks of furi
ous debate.
Introduced to broaden the powers
of the farm administration and pro
tect It against mounting court at
tacks, the legislation was changed In
many respects before It reached pass
age. Its original provision barring pro
cessors of farm products from suing
to recover any of the $900,000,000 of
AAA taxes already paid was replaced
with a compromise. Tills provided
that processors who had not passed
the taxes on to consumers or produ
cers could file recovery suits but
those who had could not. Govern
ment agent would be permitted to
examine the books of any processor
Instituting recovery proceedings.
Quota Restriction In
In It final form the bill carried an
amendment by Senator LaFollette
(Prog.-Wls.). permitting the presi
dent to Impose quota restrictions on
agricultural Imports: an amendment
by Senator Wheeler (D. -Mont.),
authorizing use of $50,000,000 of
farm relief money to purchase sub
marginal lands already under option,
and provision for an adjustment pro
gram for the potato crop.
Proposed price-fixing provisions
were eliminated.
Critics of the administration's for
eign trade policy tried vainly to cur-
'tall President Roosevelt's tariff bar
gaining powers by a rider to the bill.
The vote on final approval was 64

Paris Sees Step As Only
Preventive for War
Italian Minister Slights
Haile Selassie on Birthday
(By the Attoclated Press)
Authoritative French, quarters dis
closed that France seeks a treaty gl7
lng Italy economic domination over
Ethiopia In return for a promise by
Italy that Ethiopia can have nominal
independence.
Parisian circles said they vlsualtzod
this step as the only preventive for
war between Italy and Ethiopia.
A royal birthday celebration
threatened a further disruption of
the already strained relations be
tween Italy and Ethiopia.
The Italian minister to Addis Ababa
refused to attend Emperor Halle Se
lassie's reception marking his 44th
anniversary and the Ethiopians In
terpreted this as a slight.
Among the congratulatory blrthdiy
messages was one from Emperor Hlrot
of Japan.
At the same time, the public In the
Ethiopian capital waved American
flags and cheered the United States
diplomat who attended the reception
From Rome came the report that
several thousand former Ethiopian
slaves would fight for Italy In case of
war.
Government bonds fell sharply In
the Rome stock exchange following
government action taking Italy off
Its former gold coverage requirements
to meet the "necessity and urgency
for procuring means for payment
abroad of an exceptional nature."
France and Great Britain looked to
the League of Nations for a solution
of the Italo?Ethopian problem. Diplo
mats of both nations conferred as to
a course of action at Geneva.
Great Britain massed a strong, fast
naval fleet In the Mediterranean, t.nd
called in British women and children
with the missionaries In Ethiopia.
The missionaries themselves were
ordered to concentrate at the Ethio
pian capital.

PIERRE, S. D., July 33. (UP) ;
Every state relief office In South I
Dakota closed Ha doors last night as
Governor Tom Berry enforced a stern j
edtct of "No work no food."
Thus 2000 men on relief rplls
were told that If they want money
and food, they must go out Into the
harvest fields where farmers are cry
ing for help and where grain Is rot
ting In the fields because there Is
no one to cut, shock and thresh It.
Berry took the drastic step after
he received complaints from hundreds
of farmers that they couldn't find
enough hands to harvest their wheat
crop the most bountiful in many
years.
A week ago Berry, himself a farm
er and rancher, warned that any
man who refused work would be
dropped from the relief rolls. To
day he suddenly announced that re
lief was barred to every able bodied
man In the state.
"Were not going to feed these
people while farmers are crying for
