Ml fo)fo) JVI WW STM1 MUM I M$kys I SCIENTISTS SOAR t. ar ui mrr r EMS WMW By Paul Mallon (Copyright, 1035. by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. A new dealer returned a few day. ago from Tour speeches around the east, one In New York, one In New Jersey. He told his col leagues that he had failed to meet a person during his Jour ney who seemed to be In favor of the new deal. But reading the election returns from those dis tricts, he con cluded that there were at least one U1, MALLON or two new deal votes left. He was forced to accept the unflattering de duction that the new deal voters did not come out to hear him tain. The speeches to be delivered at the American Bankers' association con vention, will bring good r.ews during the next few days. At least those prepared In advance by new dealers and others contained highly optimis tic opinions concerning the existing financial situation. There will be no threats of Inflation or deflation, but hlnta that everything will go along as It Is tor the present. Incidentally, the dally banking newspaper. American Banker, com piled llgures recently showing that banks now hold 63.44 per cent of the federal treasury debt, compared with 15.34 per cent back In 10-0. The paper found that, banks had taken 01 per cent of the Increase In the debt during the last fiscal year. That . i am ?r9 nnn nt new debt is, out, m v ' - created in the year, the banks took l,500,O00.000. That left them hold ing 18,337,245.000 of the total -outstanding United States debt of 28, 700.893,000. In view of this there can oe mwe wonder that the bankers are anxious to know what Is coming next out of the government bag. They are hold ing It. A very unusual situation exists In side the new deal In connection with the Baltimore federal court blow to the holding companies act. Anyone who catches most of Pres ident Roosevelt's foremost legal au thorities In a confidential mood will find that they have high doubts whether the law Is constitutional. At least they are by no means convinced that the supreme court will uphold The department of Justice has never expressed an opinion even con fidentially to the president or any one else. But some of the best back seat Judges there are glad th" attor ney general has never asked them for their views. Also It would not be a bsd guess to say that several securities and ex change commissioners (perhapa a majority) are far from convinced of the constitutionality of the act they are enforcing, although, of course, they would never confess it out loud. What seems to have happened Is that the constitutional phsse has been left almost exclusively to Messrs. Ben Cohen and Tom Corcoran, the two shrewd young new deal legalltes They wrote the law. Of course, every legal draftsman thinks his own baby Is constitutional. Cohen and Corcoran are no exceptions. But long before the Baltimore court "Meclslon. the rest of the new dealers here started wondering whether Ben and Tom were right. "They were wrong on NBA."

Reminiscent of the gala celebrations that marked the signing of the World war arm istice, the atmosphere during the parade was one of festivity. Largs crowds lined the streets to witness the parade and traffic was diverted from the lino of march. At 11 oclock, the hour at which hostilities officially ceased 17 years ago, a booming salute marked the signing of the armistice and a few minutes later the marchers stepped Into line. Veterans Cheered Veterans of three wars were in the procession. Among them were O. C. Woods, Frank Mengox. Polk Hull and Henry O. Applegste. survivors of the Civil wsr. Mr. Applegate and Mr. Hull marched on foot white their two comrades rode In cars. The two grizzled veterans, marching along spryly, were greeted with applause and cheers all along the line, while hats were doffed in honor of all four aged comrades. The veterans of the World war, youngest of the service men In the parade, injected Into the march the same care-free spirit that character ised their fighting on the shell scarred battlefields of Europe. Their division was headed by a comic-faced mule which was followed by a gigan tic cootie that served as a remainder of days In the vermin-infested trenches. Another gay note was add ed by the ''40 et 8" train. " Clear Line or March. The line of march was cleared by State Trooper A. Mltrovlch and City Patrolman Tom Robinson.
