PICKARD $ by W extern NewMpaper Unton. PRIME MINISTER RAMSAY MAC DONALD of Great Britain, who is In Scotland on a vacation, was bitterly assailed In the house of lords by Viscount Snowden, former chancellor of exchequer and once close personal friend of the premier. Snowden denounced Mac-Donald Mac-Donald as a traitor to his colleagues in the Labor party and to the country. "The cabinet found the prime minister such an amennble Instrument Instru-ment of Tory policy," Snowden declared, de-clared, "that It has come to the conclusion that there are no professions profes-sions which he made, no pledges which he gave the country which he will not repudiate, no humiliation humilia-tion to which he will not submit if they only allow him still to be called prime minister. "The Tories have no use for Mac-Dormld Mac-Dormld except for exhibiting him on their platform In chains as the onetime one-time Socialist who has seen the error of his ways and found salvation salva-tion In the spiritual home of the Tory party. "He will be used for the same purposes as the reformed drunkard at temperance meetings.

JAPAN'S cabinet resigned as a result re-sult of a financial scandal Involving In-volving a vice minister, and the emperor called on Prince Salonjl, last of the elder statesmen, for advice ad-vice in selecting a new premier. The prince recommended Admiral Keisuke Okada for the place and the emperor made the appointment, which was generally considered very wise. Okada asked Kokl Ilirota to remain as foreign minister, minis-ter, and the minister of war and navy also were reappointed. The new government Is expected to follow fol-low the general lines of policy -laid down by Salto, retiring premier. One of Its chief alms will be to clean up graft. Japanese naval circles are convinced con-vinced that Okada Is the only man capable of safely piloting the nation na-tion through the naval conference next year. They feel that Salonji selected Okada because he realized that the conference will be of the utmost importance to Japan's future. fu-ture. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT departed de-parted on his cruise in the Caribbean Carib-bean and Hawaii aboard the Houston, Hous-ton, accompanied by his two young- tacking especially bureaucracy and monopoly. Although his criticism was directed primarily against what he conceives to be these elements in the New Deal, he summarily Indicted the national leadership leader-ship of the Republican Repub-lican party on the g r o u n d that it Senator Borah which the world had not credited hi in. Flying from Berlin to Munich In the night, Hitler with only two bodyguards went direct to the summer sum-mer home of Capt. Ernst Roehm, commander of the brown shirts and long his personal friend. Roehm and certain of his associates were found in situations that confirmed the often heard stories of their moral perversion, and as Hitler was certain also of their complicity in the revolutionary plot, he personally per-sonally arrested Roehm, tore off Ms Insignia and offered him a chance to commit suicide. This Roehm refused, so on Hitler's order he was shot to death, as were the others taken with him. Meanwhile, Gen. Hermann Wllhelm Goerlng, premier of Prussia, directed a series se-ries of raids throughout the country coun-try that resulted In the deaths of numerous prominent members of the conspiracy and the arrest of scores. Chief among those shot down was Gen. Kurt von Schleicher, Hitler's Hit-ler's predecessor as chancellor and reputed head of the revolutionary plot. His wife stepped In the way of the policemen's bullets and also died. Well-known Storm troop leaders In Munich and elsewhere were put to death summarily, and so was Heinrlch Klausener, head of the Catholic Action party. Vice Chancellor Franz von Pnpen, who had recently attacked the radical radi-cal tendencies of the Nazis, was put under heavy guard and forbidden to leave his home, and two of his adjutants killed themselves. Von Papen offerer1 to resign from the cabinet, but President Von Hin-denberg, Hin-denberg, his close friend, refused to accept the resignation, and the cabinet urged him to remain as minister without portfolio to supervise super-vise activities in the Saar. Von Papen, however, will take a protracted pro-tracted leave of absence. Viktor Lntze was appointed to succeed Roehm as chief of staff t ' "1 er sons. Franklin, Jr., and John ; Rudolph Ru-dolph Forster of the White House secretarial staff; Commander Ross T. Mclntire, naval physician; Gus Gennerich, personal bodyguard ; R i c h-ard h-ard Jervis, secret service man, and Pharmacist's Mate George Fox. On ac-companylng J. M. Landis destroyers are two secret service men and three representatives of three big press associations. Before sailing the President performed per-formed several Important acts: Approved the Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage moratorium bill. Approved the railroad unemnlov- i 1 of all the reichs-wehr reichs-wehr units, including includ-ing the Storm troops among whom the disaffection had existed and the regular army, which was declared to be entirely loyal to Hitler. President Von Hlndenburg all this time was at his estate es-tate at Neudeck, Viktor Lutze "seems wholly unwilling to touch this vital Issue" namely, the monopolistic mo-nopolistic trend. The senator said the Roosevelt regime was establishing not Nazism, not Fascism, not Communism, but "simply that meddlesome, Irritating, confusing, undermining, destructive thing called bureaucracy." And bureaucracy bu-reaucracy he defined as "that form of government which steals away man's rights In the name of the public interest and taxes him to death In the name of recovery." Bureaucracy, the Idaho senator asserted, as-serted, "has destroyed every civilization civil-ization upon which It has fastened its lecherous grip." It Is the common man who will be the chief victim of our new bureaucratic form of government, the Idahoan asserted. The Influential Influen-tial and powerful have demon strated that they "can generally obtain ob-tain all the rights and privileges they desire under any form of government." gov-ernment." But the "freedom and political rights" of the toilers are being more and more limited, whether under European dictatorships dictator-ships or the American bureaucracy. WINDING up Its fiscal year, the federal government found that, counting emergency expenses, It had spent abou'. $4,000,000,000 more than it bad collected. Balancing receipts against ordinary expenditures, the government figured it was $28,000,-000 $28,000,-000 "in the black" for the year. President Roosevelt has estimated nearly $5,000,000,000 would be added to the national debt by emergency expenses during the next 12 months. This was predicated on recovery that would make Industrial production produc-tion average 98 per cent of the 1923-25 1923-25 level. In July, 1935, the President hopes to start the payoff for the recovery program. By that time, he has said, the budget s' ould be balanced. According to the federal reserve board's index, the industrial production produc-tion figure for the year just ended was slightly above the 81 per cent average on which the President based his hopes. MR. ROOSEVELT went -ashore for the first time" on his cruise at Cape Haitien, Haiti, where he was met by President Stenio Vln-cent Vln-cent and other officials of the Island republic. At the Union club he made an address, partly In French, In which he announced the forthcoming forthcom-ing withdrawal of the marines, adding add-ing that he hoped they .vould be remembered as friends who had tried to help Haiti. Marine detachments detach-ments have been on duty in Haiti, whose population Is 90 per cent colored, col-ored, since 1915.

MARIE CURIE, co-discov- erer with her husband of radium radi-um and rated as one of the world's greatest women, passed away at Passy In the French Alps at the age of sixty-six years. Her physicians physi-cians said that her inability to recover re-cover from an attack of pernicious anemia was probably due to the fact that her bone structure was weakened by years of exposure to radium and X-rays. The Netherlands was thrown Into In-to mourning by the death of Prince Consort Henry. He was married to Queen Wilhelmina In 1901 and the Dutch people had learned to love him deeply. East Prussia, and there were reports re-ports of his serious illness, which were flatly denied. Two days after the chancellor's drastic action the aged president telegraphed Hitler and Goering his approval of their course, congratulating them on their victory and thanking them in the name of the nation. Undoubtedly Undoubt-edly Hitler's personal position was strengthened for the time being, and the leftist elements In the Nazi party were weakened and divided. Goering and Hitler professed pity for the "misled" Storm troopers, but the latter are now out of their uniforms temporarily and may never be as Important as they have been in the past. They had become something like a pretorian guard that threatened Hitler's supremacy. In the various European capitals there were predictions of further outbreaks in Germany and the re Juru of the Hohenzollerns. Hitler's "violent" methods were criticized by Engelbert Dollfuss. Austria's dictator, who said: "Does not the light at last dawn upon us that one cannot make a people happy with violent methods?" Paris Interpreted the affair as a Tlctory for conservatives and as opening the possibility for a return of the Hohenzollerns. The violence, it was claimed, revealed a breakdown break-down In the unity of the Hitler movement. In London the view was taken that Hitler had solidified his position. posi-tion.
