The bill if passed by the senate will permit the President to devaluate the Dollar to between 50 and 60 cents and gives the Treasury title to all monetary gold in the nation. The senate is expected to pass the measure today. -oOLD REYEAR ELEVEN FORM FIGHT RENEWED Sena.tor Borah (rep.) of Idaho, revived his eleven-year antilobby bill, to prohibit senators, representatives and other federal officials acting for pay before any agency on any matter in which the United States has an interest. would prohibit The bill also members of cangress from representing corporate clients engaged in interstate commerce. It is astonishing to consider the fact that such an important and necessary political reform could be delayed in passage for a period ot eleven -<>years. HULL RETURNS Secretary of state, Cordell Hull returned to Washington Sunday from the Montevideo conference, with the assurance that South American relations have been greatly strengthened. In a statement to the press the secretary said; ,.The Pan American Conference marked a transition in the attitude of Latin America toward the United States, which perhaps the average citizen does not yet comprehend. "Apart from the tangible acts of the conclave, there was undoubtedly developed an affinity of spirit and sentiment." -o-ENGEN SCORES AGAIN Alf Engen, of Salt Lake City, Utah's own Cloud Cowboy-won new laurels Sunday by winning the Battlebor (Vt.) outing club competition two days in succession. The winning jumps totaled 401 feet. He then made an exhibition jump of 212 feet to beat the course record of 208 feet, made by Strand Mekkelsen, two years ago. -oc. W. A. TO PASS OUT Harry L. Hopkins. civil works administrator announced definitely that May 1, would end the civil works program of relief employment. There was attached to the statement, however, a reservation that in event private industry could not employ the 4,000,000 men released. President Roosevelt would consider extending the life of the agency. CUBA RECOGNIZED President Roosevelt officially recognized the new government of Cuba, headed by Carlos Mendiestos, and will seek ways and means through which the United States can assist in stabilizing the new regime. Jefferson Caffery has been appointed American Ambasador. Lowering the tariff on CUban products entering the states will be among the first questions to be discussed by Mr. Roosevelt and his secretary of state, Cordell Hull. INSULL MUST LEAVE GREECE The Supreme State Council of Greece and the Minister of the Interior came to an agreement Wednesday and fugitive Samuel Insull, former utilities magnate of Chicago, must leave Greece before February 1. Where Insull will go Is a matter of conjecture--his physician states that he is too Ill to travel. The Greek authorities, however, say that he must leave of his own accord by January 31 or they will escort him to the border. "Federal policies under the New Deal Administration have done much to relieve unemployment, industry, reconstruct revitalize banking service and protect honest investors. "But underlying all phases of American progress and achievement-necessary to the maintenance of democratic government itself-is Education. And education is being demoralized in this country by neglect and false economy. Tills school crisis proves the utter fallacy of leaving everything in education to the states. •congress at its present session should two things immediately: "F i r s t - Provide emergency school relief, for which the National Education AssOciation pleads; and Establish a Federal ''Second Department of Education, with a member of the President's Cabinet as Secretary of Education, to promote nation-wide education, help the states overcome the harm that has been done and furnish guidance that will prevent any recurrance of the socially dangerous condition now confronting the nation."' THE PUBUC DEBT BREAKS ALL RECORDS Associated Press dispatches of January 4 summarize the public debt of the United States, as follows: "August 31, 1929, the war peak, $26,596,701,648. "The 1930 post war low, $16~185,309,831. •·Today's public debt, $23,817,036,025. "Estimated for June 30, $29,847,000,000. Estimated for June 30, 1935, $31,834,000,000. "The amount of money in circulation, save for some governmental funds for which no accounting can be made, totaled only $5,791,000,000 on January 3, 1934.'' At 3 per cent interest on public debt in 1935, will be nearly $1,000,000,000 a year.
