IIj- PAUL MALLON
(Copyright, 1936, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. There ll
one guiding principle upon which
President Roosevelt seems to be plan
nlng the second
phase of his new
deal. It Is that
a wider distribu
tion or money
must be lorced
to those who will
Immediately
spend It.
The Idea Is not
' m exactly new, ouv
5uT " I the increasing
JTV I Importance of It
Kx I In the minds of
3V 1 his policy makers
is aeciaecuy new
and of controlling Importance. It
will furnish the official Inspiration
for carrying out the new taxing pol
icy, the new NHA revival, continued
public works spending, and, In fact,
afford the basis for governmental
activity In the next four years.
If you understand It, you will
understand the motive behind most
of the developments from Washing
ton now being prepared.
In simplest terms, It means the
government Is bent on msklng tho
nation spend. It wants to squeeze
.h. .amino, nut of corDOratlons, busi
ness and Incomes, and divert thlsl
money Into channels where it win oe
The greater share of the money
will be diverted, as lar as
to the government and the wage
rh investor will get some
of It, but he will not hold on to It
long. It Is assumed that tne invent
hi. rfiviri.nda and reinvests
them. and. therefore, he Is not a
spender, but an accumulator of
money.
The government will get a substan
tial portion of his dividends by heavy
taxation on unearned Income (no in
creases are contemplated for the pres
ent, but the present tax law will get
a lot for the government) .
Corporations and business will fare
......- i,.v .v. because they will
r-roflt'from increased business due to
he increased puruijno ..
.ani.r and spending by the
tun su -
government. The wage earner win
... , hnmi.
spend his wage increooo vi
i.Hi.f.iv It Is exnected, and will
not Invest it or savo It or deposit it
In banks. The government will take
Its share (expected by some BUthor
ltlea to reach the colossal total of
- tottinn HniifLm next vcar'i and
distribute a portion of It In the way
It has been doing, that la to non
wage earners, for public building, for
soil conservation, larmeis. v-.
rfe.t i. th Roosevelt working
theory, reduced to terms which are
probably too simple to De oiucisur
' approved, but which are basicslly
accurate.
Vntm Thm recent Wave Of dlStllbU
tlon of earnings by large business
concerns to employes ana ovocni.yiu-
1. .n .Tnmnle of Dart Of the
theory. The new tax bill made the
,t.-lh,l4lnn .rivfXBhle. but the hlOVC
ment was undertaken by business
men on their own Initlallve. This
of course, does not mean
that the Inefficiencies and lnequajl-
tlea of the tax law win
te revised at the coming session.
tm. analvsia docs not concern the
...uni f whether the theory Is
i k.i m indifferent, but only
that It is. The only certainty of It
future application Is rooted In the
fact that the best oi Koowven tc-.-nBni...
nn.lder It aa absolutely
necessary to preserve the capitalistic
system. It Is Inevitable not only for
economic reasons, out social, ana
Hnml-.! reniuini as well.
The social asoect of It. Is that there
ire supposed to be about B.OOO.OOO
persons still unemployed.
The political possibilities u an
tntldote are; obvious.
The economic phase has already
been discussed. It furnishes purchas
ing power where it la needed and
keeps money moving.
Results to be expected from II. of
course, are higher prices, more active
business and probably a boom, altlio
the Roosevelt reorganizes have many
brakes they Inwnd to apply a;alnt
the latter consequence. 'Die govern
ment controls the fields of credit to
such an extent that 1k has reaatn to
nope that It wlU be able to keep
prices from Betting out of hand.
Ffsentlally. that Is what a boon is:
purchasers bidding for goads, beyond
the ability of producers to furnish.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14. (AP)
Maritime strike leadera threatened to
day to send western longshoremen on
'swing through Gulf and -Atlantic
ports and complete a dock tleup"
unless shipowners talked peaco soon.
At the same time a committee of
the San. Francisco Industrial associa
tion warned business men to. organize
for "our common defense" galnit
the "Inland march' 'of the lontshore-
mena union.
Two west coast strikes not directly
connected with the maritime walkout
were settled but others appeared to
complicate the general labor situa
tion.
Striking "rank-and-file" aeamen
used an airplane and a motor boat to
picket the U. S. liner Washington,
which became the key ship in the
New York walkout.
The Industrial association commit
tee aald more than 16,000 men were
striking against San Francisco In
dustry and mote than AO plants were
closed and "surrounded by mobs of
pickets" whose members were "grow
ing dally."
8 AN FRANCISCO. Nor. 14. (UP)
The mayors of two Paciflo coast
cities, alarmed at the effect of the
maritime strike on the Industries of
their communities, announced to
night they would fly to Washington
tomorrow to confer with president
Franklin D. Roosevelt on plans to'
end the labor dispute.
They were Mayor Joseph K. Car
son. Jr.. of Portland, Ore., and
Mayor Angelo J. Rossi, of San Fran
cisco. Logging and lumbering, one of
the most important Industries of
Portland, has been closed down com
pletely with thousands of men out
of work aa a result of tho waterfront
strike.
More than 60 industries in the San
Francisco bay area have been closed
down either directly or indirectly as
a result of the waterfront trouble.
The maritime strike, led by tne
nowerful International Longshore
men's awioctatlon. headed by. dynamic
arry Bridges, one-time steam wincn
operator, continued to creep iniana
a. the strike ended its 17th day.
During that period commerce has
remained completely Idle. Insofar M
American ships In Pacific port 'w're
concerned.
Virtually every major industry on
the Pacific slope felt the grip of the
strike with workers either walking
out In sympathy with the maritime
workers or being forced out of work
because their plant were unable to
obtain raw materials for their iac
tmie. nr shin finished products.
R.n Francisco alone reported o0
buKlness plants, employing 18,000
workers closed down In addition to
the annroxlmately 30.000 workers
Idle on the waterfront.
Federal Moves Futile
Attempts by the federal govern

Attack Seige Continues.
MADRID. Nov. 14. (AP) Fascist
aviators killed 63 persons and wound
ed at least 150 today In sudden bom
bardment of a crowded capital plaza
where workers had gathered to discuss
the defense of Madrid.
Today's raid was one of the most
disastrous to the capital and damage
was extensive. Dead and wounded ley
about the streets. Panic swept the
crowd. One bomb crashed through
a supposedly bombproof subway.
In an angry demand for reprisal,
military Gov. Jose Mlaja exhorted
his troops to "wipe out 60.000 of the
enemy; smash through them, wipe
them out."
The so-called "International legion"
-composed of foreigners fighting on
the side of the Spanish government
repelled an attempt by the fascists to
enter Madrid "ver the Los Franceses
railroad brldtze across the Manzanarca
prlver, which skirts the capital.
The two forces fought a bloody ma
chlnegun battle before the Insurgents
were thrown back.
At the end of the ninth day of
Madrid's siege, a government column
was reported pushing northward from
Aranjuez, threatening the right flank
of the fascists south of Madrid.
The all-powerful defense Junta had
been sitting since early afternoon
awaiting reports of the advance from
Aranjuez. Fascist bombing planes
were said to be concentrating on that
town. 30 mllea south of the capital.

Increasing to 3 per cent by 1038.
Unless the deadline la extended, the

could not aid them further.
W. L. Oosslln, secretary to the gov

a resolution pissed by the state re
lief committee that subsistence win
be provided drouth Immigrant dur
ing their, return transportation, and
that transportation like wise would
be provided."
The group waa told that personally
Governor Martin could do nothing
tor them,' becsuse the state legisla
ture had passed the relief act stipu
lating the applicant must be real
dent of Oregon three years before
they could qualify. .....
Qoaslln stated that county relief
committees could mak emergency
allowance o that the drouth fami
ne "would not starve on their way
back,"
No Indication of what action the
picketing committee would take could
b learned. "
The picket, In mimeographed
letter distributed In front of tne
tt house said:
We bar no grievance with the
WPA. Our only grievance to th gov
ernor I the lack of eld to the Immi
grant." The picket represented th
Oregon Worker' alllanc.
Governor Martin stated that under
th law the atat could not extend
relief to other than resident, and
far be It for th atat of Oregon to
build up an alien pauper olasa." If
the drouth famlltea wish to return

Th alliance picket were her sev
eral daya ago and although unabl
to ae th governor, left their de

tion by relief agencies because they
wer not resident of Oregon.
"The 9,000 drouth fanulle whs
cam her th put six month can
not expect the state to care for
them," the governor said. Not all of
them k for relief, but those whs
do, "must either return to their owe
states or remain here to work or
atarve."
Th governor pointed out that un
der the state relief law no aid can
be given other than residents who
have been hero three year or more
and during which time they have not
accepted federal or state help. Th
law provides further that counties
may pay return transportation If ap
plication I made.
The governor said he doubtod if
any would return but he emphasised
that the law would not pormit the
state to "feed them and ear for
them." ' ' -
Th executive conferred with fed
