Is plain, forceful language, Mr. Boosevelt declared that the old methods hare one Into the. discard and that the new saclal and economic eco-nomic order upon the lines laid down by the national recovery legislation legis-lation must be pushed forward and made lasting. Opposition to this, he asserted la found only among a few Individualists. In reneral terms he t6Tdoflhe success "oT tfieNHSIn lessening unemployment, abolishing ohllit lahnv aatahllahln . ... nnlfnrm standards of hours and wages and preventing "ruinous rivalries within Industrial groups."

Brief allusion was made to the war debts, and it was stated that subluxation of -the dollar Is Impossible Impos-sible at present because certain other nations are "handicapped by Internal and other conditions." The message referred specifically to the disclosures before the senate banking bank-ing and currency committee of rich aura puwenuj onanciers wno -evened the spirit and purpose of our tax laws," enriched themselves at the xoenae of their stockholders and the public and through reckless 'speculation with their own and other people's money, Injured the values of the farmers' crops and the savings of the poor." It also declared de-clared the Intention of the government govern-ment and the people to suppress "crimes of organized banditry, cold blooded shooting, lynching and kid naplng that have threatened, our security." se-curity." . , . . . - The President a' 'dosing sentences specially aroused the supporters of the. Constitution. He thanked the members of congress for their cooperation co-operation and concluded: "Out of these friendly contacts we are, fortunately, building a strong and permanent tie between the legislative legis-lative and executive branches of the government "The letter of the Constitution wisely declared a separation, but the Impulse of common purpose declares de-clares a onion. In this spirit we join once more In serving the American Amer-ican people." THIS message of the President was addressed especially to the American people. A few days be-. be-. fore be delivered another that was meant more for the rest of the world. It was his speech on Wood- row Wilson s birthday delivered at a dinner given by the Woodrow Wilson Wil-son foundation, and In It he vigorously vigor-ously attacked political leaders of other nations for frustrating the hopes of the people for world oeace. Ninety per cent of the population of the earth, he averred, la desirous that there ahatt be no more wars ; but the remaining 10 per cent are misleading politicians who have Imperialistic designs and selfish motives. mo-tives. Mr. Roosevelt's peace plan, offered of-fered to (he world, may be tbua eummamed: Every nation would agree to eliminate over a period of years and by progressive steps all weapons weap-ons of offense, .keeping only .permanent .per-manent defensive Implements. Each nation could Inspect Its neighbor to Insure against offensive weapons. Every nation would Join in a simple declaration that no armed forces would be allowed to crosa Its borders Into the territory of any other nation. By ruling that such pacts would be effective unless sll nations agreed the nations still believing In the use of the sword for Invasion" In-vasion" would be pointed out to the pressure of world opinion. The President also proclaimed a modification of the Monroe Doc trine, asserting that It would henceforth hence-forth be the policy of the United States to undertake no singlhand Od armM'InteTvenriOn In any of the American rep'dblfcaV 'ft declared that It waa the Joint obligation of all those republic to Intervene In any one of them If such Interfer-. ence should become necessary to protect ,4be4rstcrertr CORfeBoouirrent arnHhe- ttext fis-" fis-" cal years the President asks congress to provide sixteen and a half billion dollars.

Of this Immense sum the recovery agencies will require re-quire almost ten billions, the remainder re-mainder being for the routine gov ernment establishment Tor these two years the treasury deficits are estimated at nine billion three hundred hun-dred million dollars.

Many leaders lead-ers In economy and politics gave them this assurance, and there was manifested a general determination to go along further with the President Presi-dent and support bis efforts. Speaker. Ralney predicted that the session of congress would be harmonious. harmo-nious. "We are going to have a short and constructive session." said Mr. Italncy.

' Failure to follow the treasury's order and conviction carries a maximum max-imum penalty of ten years In prison $10,000 In Ones, or both.

MOW It Is up to the United States 'Court of Claims to decide whether wheth-er or not President Roosevelt's action ac-tion In removing William E. Humph rey as a member of the federal trade commission last October Oc-tober was "illegal and void." Mr. Humphrey has filed with the court a petition demanding from the United States $L251.89 which be says la due him as his sal- T7 Ail,;,, w. Humph- NoTemberSa He laid before the court a transcript of four letters from the President Two of them requested hia resignation, a third accepted ac-cepted his resignation, although Mr. Humphrey contended, none had been offered, while a fourth contained only these words : "I am In receipt of your letter of September 27. Effective as of this date (October 7) you are hereby removed re-moved from the office of commissioner commission-er of the federal trade' commission." Mr. Humphrey refused to resign or get out and formally notified the trade commission of this refusal re-fusal ; but the commission wrote him that It had voted to recognize the executive order of the President. Mr. Humphrey Is a Republican and the controversy between blm and Mr. Roosevelt has been taken up as a political Issue by some others of that party. It Is certain to be the subject of oratory and argument In congress. For fourteen years Mr. Humphrey represented the state of Washington In congress, and he was appointed to the trad commission by President Coolldge In 1925 and reappointed re-appointed by President Hoover in 1031. COME weeks ago Jon Q. Duca, J premier of Rumania, outlawed the Iron Guard, an anti-Jewish organization. or-ganization. He has paid the penalty, penal-ty, for a member of the guard assassinated as-sassinated hhn In a railway station sta-tion in Slnala. The murderer, who was arrested with two accomplices, proudly admitted his crime. The assassination came as a climax cli-max to a long series of disorders characteristic of the new wave of anti-Semitic radicalism which has swept Rumania since the victory of Chancellor Hitler's antl-Jewlsb campaign In Germany.
