PAUL MALLON out that the

neutrality ways.
The result is the promised war

nr The world court setback at
the opening of the laat session is
atlll a tart memory, it was row
bandied because the president did
not know the strength ol the op
position. The neutrality issue will
not be.
Presidents have ways of getting
what they wsnt out of congress
without fighting.
Mr. Roosevelt's first wise Inside
step has been to place the issue en
tirely In the hands of his congres
sional leaders. It was agreed the
White House and slate department
(particularly the state department)
will take ft back seat and not try
to do any driving.
There Is something about the
state department which makes con
gressmen madder than they nor
mally are. The department thinks
lorelgn affairs should be completely
free of congressional lor-rolllng. The
log-rollers think those pink-tea dlp
lomsts In the department are Inter
national fops.

BOURBON LEADER

WILLjlGN BILL
Payment This Month Would
Bring Veterans 97 Per
Cent of Ultimate Maturity
Value Comes Up Jan. 13
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2. p) -Sen-ator
Robinson, the democratic leader,
today predicted passage of a cash
bonus bill which will "receive exec
utive approval.",
In his first pre-sesslon press confer
ence, Robinson indicated such a bonus
bill probably would be drafted along
the lines of the Byrnes-stelwer pro
posal advanced last session under
which the adjusted service certifi
cates would mature in 1938 Instead
of J 945 as provided at present. It was
designed so that payment of their
face value this month would bring
veterans about 97 per cent of their ul
timate maturity value.
Almost simultaneously, the house
steering committee backing the Pat
man bill to pay the bonus In $3,000,
000,000 of new currency agreed not to
fight, on the house floor, any senti
ment of a majority of members to
strike out the currency-expansion
method of payment.
Extend Olive Branch
"This committee Is extending the
olive branch," said Representative
Patman (D., Tex.), author of the bill,
after a secret session attended by -14
of the score of members of the com
mittee. "We want to cooperate to the end
that the veterans will get their mon
ey," he said.
Patman said the committee intend
ed "to permit the bill to take Its
natural course." Such procedure would
carry It to the house floor January
13. a majority of house members late
last session signed a petition to take
the bill from the ways and means
committee.

committee and the bill Is consider

RETALIATION STEP
Br the Associated Press
Ethiopia, her first major offensive
reported awry, served notice on the
league of nations today that she will
retaltste by seizing the property of
Irallsns unless Italy abandons alleged
outlawed war methods.
The Afrlcsn empire. In a communi
cation to Geneva, promised to refrain
from reprlssls entailing inhumane
treatment of Italian soldiers.
But In Italy, where Premier Mus
solini's government already has ac
cused the Eehloplan warriors of de
capitating fascist aviators and has
cited that as a reason for southern
aerial bombardment In which a Swed
ish hospital unit was wrecked, ob
servers speculated on a possible cam
paign of "punishment."
Reliable sources In Rome ssld Italy
had vast quantities of "scientific
weapons" which It Is reluctant to use
against the enemy, unless Ethiopian
war practices arouse a national de
mand to "fight fire with fire."
Some fascists thought a merciless
serial drive might be Italy's course
to "punish" the hostile armies for
the alleged decapitations.
The whole question of aerial bom
bardments, particularly attacks on
Red Cross medics! units, appeared In
Geneva to be a likely topic tor dis

Notable Economic Ga
Recorded Here in 1935;
Further Recovery Is Seen
Business Forged Ahead on Sound Basis
Along All Lines in Rogue Area;
Future Faced Confidently
By L. C. FOX
The new business year started today with prospects generally conceded
to be good for continued economic Improvement oer the record established
last year. Business leaders here were confident that in spite of obstacles
that loom ahead, such as uncertainties caused by a presidential election,
1936 would carry the nation forward toward economic and social stabil
ity. Prospects for betterment, It was agreed, were brighter than at this
time last year, .
At the same time a survey of 1935
showed that material Improvement
was recorded during the past year,
business being actually better than
at any time since the beginning ot
1929.
Harder Views Tuture
In an Interview with the Mall
Tribune Ben E. Harder, president ot
the Jackson County Chamber of Com
merce, made the following comment:
"Business conditions In Medford and
southern Oregon during 1935 were
somewhat better than In In 1934.
This advancement In business can be
safely estimated at from ten to twelve
peroent. Just how much this Improve
ment was the result of government
espendltures It la difficult to say.
Agriculture, with the exception of
the fruit Industry, showed a good Im
provement, hardly any of which could
be credited to government expendi
tures, I'The year 1936 should show at least
a ten percent Increase over 1935. If
the market for pears could be Im
proved, this, together with the bet
ter outlook for mining and the pro
ducts of the forests, would possibly
Improve business conditions more
than the estimated ten percent.
"The fact that 1936 Is an election
year Imay retard : recovery aomewhat-i
but I believe basio lorces are ai. worn
that will Improve the condition of
southern Oregon and the entire coun
try. "The Jackson County Chsmber of
Commerce has now In the making
various projects which It hopes to
carry out and which should materi
ally Improve conditions here."

Message to Congress

Catch Most Listeners
WASHINOTON, Jan. 3. (P) Presi
dent Roosevelt's decision to deliver
his annual message to congress to
morrow night, at an hour when the
number of radio listeners will be
greatest, was defended by democratic
leaders today against republican
charges of "politics."
Replying to an assertion by Hemy
P. Fletcher, national republican chair
man, that the arrangement brought
the annual presidential duty "down
to the level of a political speech,"
Senator Robinson of Arkansas de
clared: "I think this effort to make a
mountain out of a mole-hill is rather
absurd. It seems to me that no one
should desire to prevent the country
from having the opportunity of be
coming familiar with the president's
viewpoints, and tha anyone who
takes that attitude can not Justify
it."
Byrns Answer? Fletcher
He said the hour of 9 o'clock, east
ern standard time, was chose u 'of
course" for the purpose of giving the
message full publicity.
Speaker Byrns of the house hasten
ed also to answer Fletcher.
"This Is the president's message
and certainly he has the right to in
dicate when he prefers to make it,"
he continued. "While it Is technically
a message to the congress. It Is an
address to all the American people
and the nation has a right to hear
rhnt. Vi has trt khv '
