Committee Offers Drastic War-Profit Bill—Austria
Decides to Enlarge Its Army—Progress of
European Peace Negotiations.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD

SENATOR GERALD P. NYIJ S muni-
tions committee, which has spent
Gsvon months Investigating the doings
at tbe manufacturers ot arms and
armament, reported to
the senate Its meas-
ure designed to take
the profits out of war
and provide for tho
conscription of In-
dustry in the event of
another armed con-
flict involving the
United States. The
bill Is decidedly dras-
tic, giving to the
President In war time
••nator Nye p<>wcrs o,at are prac-
tically' dictatorial, permitting him not
obly to fix prices but also to license
all Industry and control raw mate-
rial*. It also has taxation features
that will arouse considerable opposi-
tion. It would raise individual income
taxea to 6 per cent. In wartime, levy
surtaxes up to 94 per cent oh Incomes
In excess of $10,000, and seize profits
of corporations in excess 'of <J per cent
return on Invested capital.
The Nye bill gives the President
Vary broad powers to fix prices of
commodities, to license industry, to en-
join profiteering and to prevent the
hoarding of goods. It provides for
the drafting of industrial leaders, who
would be permitted to remain with
their companies, subject to military
Mw and given rank and compensation
sot exceeding that of a brigadier gen-
eral.
Meanwhile the bouse military affairs
committee reported the Mc Swain bill,
similar to the senate measure but
without the tax features. This lack
made; the more radical members angry
tat when they tried to amend the bill!
they were routed, 258 to 71.
The Nye senate cotnmittofe after re-
porting Its bill, continued its Inquiry,
it heard a rather sensational bit of
evidence to the effect that lloger 8.

who was described as a friend ot the

PI! KM IKK MUSSOLINI Is highly
skeptical of the success of efforts to
persuade Germany to enter Into gen-
eral peace plans for Europe. In his
newspaper, Popolo d'italla, appeared'
an editorial, probably written by II
duce himself; warning his fellow
countrymen that no miraculous results
may be expected from the conference
of foreign ministers to Stresa. It as-
serted that the western European pow-
ers "must stabilize their line of com-
mon action against several eventuali-
ties which can be foreseen, and they
uiust take definite responsibility."
It then charged that the French and
British are Impeding Mussolini's wish
to take uctlon against Hitler because
of their preoccupation about their own
Internal policy.
I'remier Fhnidln and Foreign Min-
ister Laval of France were reported t'o
have devised a vast, new. flexible plan
to organize the peace of the continent

It was made clear that Germany and
Poland would be welcome to enter the
arrangement, but that it would go
ahead even without them.
Captain Eden then went on to War

pOLAND appears to have deckled to
1 play s lorie hand in the European
embrogllo, though she remains friend-
ly to Germany. It Is retried that
Captain Eden's visit to Warsaw was
aa disappointing as was that of Sir
John Simon to Berlin, The Polish
government Is determined to sign no
pact that would-commit the untlon
to fight for Itussia against Germany or
for Germany against Russia arid
France, nor will it permit either tier-
man or Russian troops to be trans-
ported across Poland. The Polish
statesmen say they will sign a series
of bilateral pacts, and will go as far
as nay other nation In parallel disar-
mament. They assert that tbev have
no alliance with Germany, though their
mutual troubles have been settled for
the next ten years, and that the alli-
ance with France still holds good.
C*ROM Tokyo there came a state-
^ rnent indicating that Japan would
give at least moral support to the
European powers that are seeking
agreements to coun-
teract Hitler's move
for the re-armament
of Germany. It was
given out by Eljl
A man, the frequently
quoted spokesman for
the foreign otUce. He
said Japan will hold
aloof from the F.uro
pea a crisis and that
there would be no tur
eastern Koenrno pact.
but that "we eauiiot
think of any alliance with Germany."
Tokyo, asserted Amau, Is ready to dis-
cuss with Russia some degree of de-
militarisation of the eastern frontiers.

Lloyd George says there will l>e no
war "this time." but some In Europe
do not agree. Mus-
solini wants Prance

him In un agree-
ment to suppress
any outbreak affect-
ing them.
France Is said to
have moved troops
for defense to the
German frontier, al-
though It Is hard to
guess what those
troops could do. If
Germany declared
war It would be
with planes drop-
ping explosives and
poison gas on Paris. No nation at war
will sit In trenches for four or five
years, now that flying Is real.
Britain, going a long way around,
wisely, sends a suave statesman, Cap-
tain Eden, to Moscow to see Stalin of
Russia. The talk, not published, amy
have been like this:
If England agrees to help yon fight
Japan, will you help against Germany,
In case of need?
A British naval officer cut the throat
of a shipmate. In England they hang

Mrs. Violet Vamlereist. prosperous
widow, opposed to the death penalty,
hired two planes to fly back and forth
above the gallows, trailing banners
reading, "Stop the death sentence."
While airplanes flew overhead,

"Abide With Me."

rus written l.'.'Od years before Christ
tells of three men tried for robbing a
royal tomb. Egyptian kings were de-
scended from the gods; to rob their
tombs was sacrilege, the punishment
death.
A dishonest Jeweler, putting base
metal In a supposedly "pure gold"
crown for King Illero, was exposed
by the great Archimedes, who thought
nut u method in bis bath, and started
the word "eureka" down through the
ages.
Michael Angelo, building St. Peter's
at pome, complained to the po|>e of

Michael Angelo, would make no proiit

soul," and urged the pope to punish
the grafters. There Is even graft now
In this modern, enlightened republic.
What Is life? What Is death? What

An English gentleman "dies"; doc-

What does the soul do while the

National Topic* Interpreted
by William Bruekart
National Prase Bulldtn* Washington, D. C.
Washington. — President Koosevelt
has submitted to congresa a list of the
m A .,1, . legislation ho
Lay• Out Work (|<>ems neces-
for Con fret* fury to have
passed before
the present session adjourns. He has
divided It Into two categories—"must"
and desirable. If congress "enacts
only the list of "must" legislation and
passes over the other group of bills
which the President considers desir-
able, It is made to appear that the
membership of the house and senate
Is due to suffer some of the torrid
temperature and the uncomfortable
humidity of a Washington summer.
The President said he must have legis-
lation extending the National Recovery
administration, providing social se-
curity, eliminating public utility hold-
ing companies. Increasing the loaning
power of the lloine Owners Loan corpor-
ation, extension of the so-called nuisance
taxes which expire by limitation of
law on June 110, and revision of the
banking laws.
In addition, the President made
known that he would like to have en-
acted legislation to take the profits out
of war, whatever that may mean. He
previously had sent a message asking
enactment of a law providing for
expansion of the American merchant
marine through the use of ship sub-
sidies, and he also desires to have en-
acted legislation setting up machinery
for the settlement of labor disputes.
This legislation is in the congressional
hopper In the form of a bill by Senator
Wagner, of New York.
The President would like to have
amendments to the agricultural ad-
justment act In order to eliminate some
of the weaknesses which the AAA peo-
ple admit exist. The airmail contract
situation is another matter with which
Mr. Roosevelt has been concerned!
Seasoned observers recognize that
this list of "must" legislation, not to
mention the desired legislation, Is suf-
ficient to keep congress grinding away
far into the summer. They recognize
likewise that if the desired legislation
later becomes of such concern that the
President wants to place it on the pre-
ferred list as well, the membership of
congress must be prepared to forego
summer trips of any kind.
• • •
Since a good many members of
congress have grown tired of being
called rubber stamps
Pett of for the admlnistra-
Their Own tion, they naturally
have turned atten-
tion to legislation which they think
will be helpful to their own bailiwicks,
to themselves personally or from a
party standpoint,. Thus there have been
promoted numerous pieces of legisla-
tion for which some Individuals, at
least, entertain greater fervor than
they do for measures that were drafted
by President Itoosevelt's otllelal family
and transmitted to congress as ad-
ministration legislation. It Is the
genera) observation that an In-
dividual, representative, or senator
frequently will go much further In
fighting for legislation that Is his
own brain child than for legislation
placed before him on a silver platter
such as administration proposals have
been. <'onse<|Uently, individual or
group measures are constantly clut-
tering up house and senate legislative
calendars. This Is a factor meaning
delay for administration bills.
It is to be remembered, as has been
reported In these columns, that Mr.
Roosevelt Is unable to ward off criti-
cism of some of his proposals. In-
deed, there have been Democratic criti-
cisms and Democratic opposition to a
greater or lesser degree to all of the
legislation lie has proposed since con-
gress convened hist January All of
which Is by way of saying that con-
gress faces weeks of committee work
and floor debate despite the fact that
the house Democratic lenders still re-
tain rather solid control of a sufficient
majority in the lower bouse of con-
gress to drive through any pet meas-
ures for the administration. In the
nenate the situation is decidedly dif-
ferent.
Included 1n the legislation being fos-
tered by individual members is the bill
that would permit cabinet officers to
appear on the floors of congress for
questioning and explanation, such as
occurs under the British and French
parliamentary systems. The adminis-
tration does not want this Iti 11. It will
have to evert some pressure to avoid
passage. The reason is that the I loose
volt administration is no longer one In
which she cabinet i dominant. Cab
Inet officers are only part of the
scheme, ami If congress wanted to In-
quire about tbe handling of relief
money, which It probably will desire. It
must talk with Administrator Hopkins.
Mr. Hopkins is not In the cabinet. The
same is true of NBA and to some
extent to the AAA. although Secretary
Wallace of the Department of Agricul-
ture theoretically Is a superior officer
to Administrator Davis. The ad-
ministrator Is definitely opposed to
the passage of bonus legislation for
tbe former Mldlera. aallora and marines
and It iooka like a Presidential eto
will be neeeaaary there. Tbe same la
trw of inflationary proposals of which
there ar* many. The situation I* one,
therefor*. In which Mr. Roosevelt must
ha constantly on hi* gnard to prevent
action wMcfc fee hm wt mat a* well
pressure to put through the legislation
he haa described as necessary. Thus
It la seen he Is confronted with many
complications which did not disturb
him In the first two sessions of New
Deal congresses and these complica-
tions mean a longer life for the cur-
rent session.
• • •
Let us examine the status of the
legislation which the President said
M M must he passed. The
Some. Mutt outlook Is something
Legitlation "ke this:
The extension of
the National Recovery administration
Is still far off. Senate hcurings are
Just ended and the house Is still fur-
ther behind. No action can be expect-
ed In clfher body for several weeks.
The preseni law expires June 10.
Recently Mr. Roosevelt sent to con-
gress a very bitter message denounc-
ing public utility holding companies
and demanding legislation eliminating
them from our economic structure. The
house committee considering this legis-
lation Is Just winding up Its hearings
and the senate committee which will
have Jurisdiction has taken no action
at all. It must be said that a hard
light is In prospect if and when this
legislation reaches the stage of de-
bate because Investors In these cntn-
ptinles are not going to have their equi-
ties destroyed while they sit Idly by.
These Investors are doing more now
than Just making faces at congress nnd
the volume of letters which members
are receiving In opposition to the hold-
ing companies legislation transcends
anything that ever has happened In tbe
memory of this correspondent.
The hanking legislation which Mr.
Roosevelt has proposed, or which was
proposed for him by Governor Eccles.
Ihe New Deal and radical governor
of the federal' reserve board Is faced
with opposition equally as bitter and
as well organized as that confronting
the holding companies bill. Perhaps
it can h" said that opposition to the
banking legislation Is even stronger
because in that' ti.crht the President
will be opposed by Senator Carter
Glass of Virginia, who must be regard-
ed as the most virulent of all the Dem-
ocrats In the senate. The house hank-
ing committee has about done Its Job
with hearings on this bill but the sen-
ate committee where the full force of
the Glass opposition will he felt has
not even set a date for committee con-
sideration.
The social security bill about which
Mr. Ronsevelr has done much talking,
because It Is distinctly a reform meas-
ure, has finally been redrafted In tbo
house while senate leadership Is un-
able to get together on any policy
respepiiog it. Some senators want to
spilt this bill and pass the section
providing for old age pensions, allow-
ing the other parts of the bill to die
a slow death.
The legislation to Increase by $1.7">0.-
000,000 the loaning power of the Home
Owners Loan corporation probably will
get through the senate without much
more ado. The house passed the bill
because It could not do otherwise with
individual members realizing that
there was a chance that some of this
money would go Into their particular
districts. Included tn this bill Is a
line that promises a good many hun-
dred jobs for politicians and it Is nat-
ural that the party In power is not
going to overlook this possibility.
There remains on the "must" list,
then, only the proposal to extend the
nuisance taxes which expire at the
end of June. It Is probable that lb"
bulk of ihose levies will be accepted
by congress as necessary.
• • •
One cannot fall, in tramping around
Washington these days, to uote tbe fre-
quent expression*
About th* concerning the out-
Futur0 lools for the New
Deal and for Presi-
dent Roosevelt's personal political fu-
ture. In fact, some hanlbolled ob
servers lately have boen beard to say
that Mr. Koosevelt Is suffering from
too much ballyhoo. He was put up on
a pedestal that made of him In the
eyes of many persons something of a
superman. He himself is regarded aa
having contributed to this condition
by his many campaign promises, some
of which he has found absolutely Im-
practical as remedies In leading the
country out of the morasses ami on to
a more satisfactory economic plain.
In truth, the president's own political
colleagues have continued to depict
him as an Individual capable of things
which no human can accomplish and
this combination of circumstances Is
declared by many keen minded persons
as likely to bring, if Indeed It lias not
already brought, * definitely bad po-
litical reaction from the President's
standpoint.
It is mlil fresh In tbe minda of men
sml women throughout the country
how President Hoover was over adver
lined as s superior person In an ad-
mlnlstrstlve way. Mr. Hoover suffered
from too much ballyhoo to an extent
greater than any other man who has
aerved aa President with the possible
exception of Wood row Wilson. When
the depression cam* and the current

BOGERS |
BEVERLY HILLS.—Well all I know
la Juat what I was reading In tbo news-
prints, or what I see hither and yon. I
waa a setting around
home a week or s
ago, and it all at
once dawned on mo
that Mra Rogers and
Mary were coming
in from a Medlter-
ranlan Cruise off tho
tbe beautiful boat
the "Ilex" so 1 hops
me a sky rattier and
away I hies myself
to N.Y. to meet em.
They beat me to tho
hotel by an Hour,
and they have a lot of news to tell me of
their trip. They been gone Just ono
month but they have covered a lot of
land and water. Gibraltar, ports along
the Riviera of Prance, porta In Italy,
then across over into the Holy Lanld,
Jerusalem, Palestine, Mount ot Olives,
Nlnevah, Bethteham, and well, maby
you have read the book.
They said that Jerusalem was pretty
dirty, and that they worked tho (treat
Shrine of Our Saviour as pretty much
of a racket. That it took a lot away from
the Impressiveness of the place. But
anyhow it was great, even if a lot ot It
was evidently faked. 1 circled the town
In a plane one time, but 1 nover was
there. In fact I dldent think you could
land there, but Mama and Mary says
they flew out ot there to go to Cairo.
They must have found an awful big flat
rock to take otl from.
They say Mr Rockefeller has done a
lot ot line work there, that he has built
a great museum, and a Y.M.C.A. and a
lot of things, and that there Is a lino
hotel there. But the Y.M.C.A. dldent
turn out so good on account ot It having
some sort of religious tinge to It, and
that there was const,intly an argument
over it. Can you Imagine Our Saviour
dying for all of us, yet we bave to arguo
over Just whether he dldent die tor ua
personally, and not for you. Sometimes
you wonder If his lessons of sacrifice
and devotion was pretty near lost on a
lot of us.
Well Just think of being on such hal-
lowed ground 1 felt a thrill Just hying
over and circling It. Then she said they
went to the Dead Sea, Galilee, and River
Jordan. Then imagine flying across Into
Egypt, where In Biblical Times they
were months and years marching out
of. That was my trip too by air, but 1
was coming all the way from China on
the plane I was on.
I only stayed one night in Cairo, and
then flew to Athens, Greece, but they
were there longer, and Mrs Rogers flew
up the Nilo to Old King Tuts Tomb.
She said that was the greatest trip sho
had, that the Nile and its very fertile
valley, and its surrounding desert was a
great slftht. Said they told her the King
of Egypt owned a great many of tho
fine farms along the Nile. You remem-
ber away back in biblical times It tells
ot what they raised along the fertile
valley of the Nile. Sho said there was-
ent much In the Tombs now, that most
of the stuff had been removed, and was
down in Cairo in the museum. But on
account of it being their Xmas, (It was
then In March) the museum wasent
open. People shouldent be allowed to
have Xmas at time like that.
She claimed tho planes over there
are not so hot. in fact the one from
Jerusalem to Cairo two days later than
her trip went down and killed three.
You know some day folks will realise
that we have the greatest aviation sys-
tem h in tho world.
Well to get back to their travel talk,
they were to go from Ecypt to Groece,
but Greece was having their annual fry,
so they landed at an
Island ot lialys and
they are on the boat
that picked up Veni-
sealous, the old
Premier and revolu-
tionary leader of
Greece who was
Seeing to Italy. She
said they bad olm
and about 160 ot bis
officers on board. No
ooe was allowed tn
see em. Then of
course she and
Mary bad u lot of gabbing about Itome,
Naples, and Genoa. Sbe says that Mua-
