Show I - THE LEHI SUN. LEHI, UTAH J ;News Review of Current Events the World Over ! House Passes Relief Bill in Face of Veto Threat by the President Bingham's Beer Rider Seems Blocked Plans for Campaign. By EDWARD W. PICKARD W7ITn the ald of 55 EePubllcfln i VV members the Democrats put (through the bouse the cou:romise t emergency relief bill carrying 52,122,000,000 as revised re-vised by the conferees confer-ees and containing provisions that President Hooter had plainly Indicated Indi-cated would lead him to veto the V measure. Chief of these Is a clause empowering the Reconstruction Finance Fi-nance corporation Speaker to make loans to Garner ' Individuals and municipalities mu-nicipalities unable jto obtain funds from normal banking bank-ing facilities. Speaker Garner had Insisted on the retention of this provision pro-vision for the "benefit of the i masses," and Mr. Iloover had been equally insistent on its exclusion, asserting it made the government a pawn broker and would Jeopardize Jeopar-dize the credit of the nation. The bitter controversy between President and speaker followed two futile conferences at the White House. Mr. Garner violently attacked at-tacked Mr. Iloover on the floor of the house and Mr. Hoover retorted .with a scorching statement placing all the blame for the disagreement on the shoulders of the speaker. As the bill went to the senate following fol-lowing a flurry of debate shot through with politics and peppered with attacks on Speaker Garner as "obstinate willed" and "demagogic," It provided for Increasing the capitalization cap-italization and borrowing power of the Reconstruction Finance corporation corpor-ation from $2,000,000,000 to $3,7G0,-000,000. $3,7G0,-000,000. It also carried in addition $322,000,000 for public works construction con-struction to "be financed by the treasury. Of the $1,700,000,000 turned over to the Reconstruction Finance corporation cor-poration ail but $300,000,000 Is set aside for loans. Part Is to be loaned directly to individuals and cities on such security as they can command. The balance is to be loaned to states, cities, public and private agencies, corporations and various sorts of organizations to build toll bridges, waterworks, tenements ten-ements and other projects of what is termed a self -liquidating nature. SENATOR BINGHAM'S effort to force a vote in the senate on the legalization of beer was not getlng along very well. De sought to attach the proposition propo-sition to the home loan bank bill as a rider, but the drys came to the front strongly, and at least delayed matters mat-ters by precipitating precipitat-ing a long debate on the bank bill it-, it-, selt This measure was amended in a wav that left it no longer a pet bill of Sen. Bingham, the administration but at the same time fixed it so wets who had disliked It could vote tor it Bingham admitted the chances for his rider were slim. Ia the house the wet Republicans Republic-ans tried without success to force the hand of Speaker Garner, Insisting In-sisting that he have brought out for action one of the bills for legalization le-galization of beer that have been Introduced. . The attitude of the Democrats In congress seemed to be that they should not be called on to carry out the Volstead act modification clause of their national program until after the country has had a chance to vote on the proposition In November. Anyhow, they do not Intend that the Republicans shall get credit. If any, for restoring beer to the people. i A PRESIDENT HOOVER'S campaign cam-paign for re-election is to be conducted from Chicago, according to the statement of Everett Sanders of Indiana, the new chairman of the Republican Re-publican national committee. He went to Chicago and engaged en-gaged headquarters rooms on the sixth floor of the rainier rai-nier house, and said he expected to spend most of bis time there. He added add-ed that of course there would be considerable con-siderable activity directed from Washington and he would often be la New York. He continued: Henry Allen, the former governor gov-ernor of Kansas, will be in charge cf the publicity. Mrs. Ella Tost of ."West Virginia Is to continue In charge of the women's activities. An 1 hope that Robert Lucas, who Las been In charge of the executive 1 , , IU1 r . Henry J. 1 Allen work, and Ray Benjamin of California, Cali-fornia, who has been of material assistance, will continue their services serv-ices with the committee." There was no such certainty of location In connection with the Democratic organization. James A. Farley, New lork state chairman and Roosevelt preconventlon manager, man-ager, who has been elected chairman chair-man of the Democratic national committee, has Indicated a tendency tenden-cy to favor New York as the center cen-ter of operations. 4-tWfal ALFRED E. SMITH settled all doubts as to his Intentions when he Issued a statement that he would support the Democratic candidates, can-didates, platform and party. He said he had received many letters urging him to run Independently for President on the Democratic platform but regarded such a course as Impracticable and impossible, DOWN In North Carolina the wets scored a decided victory In the defeat of Senator Cameron Morrison, veteran leader of the drys, in the Demo cratic run-oft primary, pri-mary, which is equivalent to an election. The senator sen-ator was swamped, losing by more than 100,000 votes to Robert R. Reynolds. Reyn-olds. The winner, who campaigned as an advocate of repeal re-peal of the Eight- H. R. Reynolds eenth amendment, received the largest larg-est majority ever given a candidate candi-date in that state. lie Is forty-seven forty-seven years old and practices law In Ashevllle. J. C. B. Ehrinehaus of Elizabeth City won the nomination for governor. VICE PRESIDENT CHARLES Curtis and Speaker Garner, who hopes to succeed "Charley, both expect to do a lot of speaking throughout the West for their re spective tickets. Indeed, the heavy work of the campaign will fall to them, for President Hoover will make only a few speeches in large cities and Gov. Franklin Roosevelt probably will not often depart from Albany. Mr. Curtis said In Washington: "I expect to do a lot of campaigning campaign-ing this fall and would be glad to meet Mr. Garner on the stump." Mr. Garner said little of his plans except that as soon as congress adjourned ho would go to his ranch home near Uvalde, Texas, for a rest. Both these gentlemen are seasoned campaigners, familiar especially es-pecially with the West and the South. And both of them like the old style of oratory, with plenty of gestures and language that appeals to the "common people." ONE after another the Insurgent Republicans of the senate are turning toward Roosevelt and the Democratic ticket Norrls of Nebraska Ne-braska was the first to announce himself and Frazier of . North Dakota Da-kota came next Both declared they would support the New York governor in his campaign against President Hoover. Then came Hiram Johnson of California with a statement In which he gars high praise to Roosevelt's acceptance speech as "the most Important speech of the day." He also lauded laud-ed the Democratic nominee's airplane air-plane Journey to Chicago as a commendable com-mendable change In national political polit-ical custom. f Although Senator Johnson declined de-clined to say whether he will openly open-ly support Governor Roosevelt In the campaign, his statement left little doubt that he prefers the Democratic nominee to President Hoover. MEETING In convention in Indianapolis, In-dianapolis, the Prohibition party decided It wanted Senator Borah as its Presidential candidate and so informed him. . His reply was noncommittal as to his acceptance accept-ance but advised the party to nominate nom-inate some one else and then leave the door open fdr withdrawal ef Its candidates If an amalgamation of all dry groups Is arranged at the coming conference in Washington. Therefore the convention nominated nom-inated William D. Upshaw, former congressman from Georgia, for President and Frank S. Regan of Rockford, I1L, for Vice President BY COMBINING the Liberty. Farmer-Labor, Progressive and Socialist parties, the Monetary league and the Farmers' union, the New Liberty party was formed at a convention held In Kansas City, Mo. Frank Webb of San Francisco Francis-co was nominated for President and Andrew Nordskog of Los An- I Dlno Grand) geles, for Vice President, both being be-ing named by acclamation, though "General" Jacob S. Coxey ot Ohio also was offered as a candidate. Roland Bruner of Kansas City, the chairman, called a meeting of the national committee in Kansas City August SO. DINO GRANDI, Italian foreign minister, and Premier Herriot of France both gave utterance to declarations that greatly disturbed the conference on reparations and war debts in Lausanne. Lau-sanne. First Gran-di Gran-di made a demand for complete cancellation can-cellation of all European Eu-ropean post-war financial o b 1 1 g a-tlons. a-tlons. Prime Minister Min-ister J. Ramsay MacDonald of Britain Brit-ain flatly defused Grandl's demand that the slate be wiped clean. Great Britain, he said, cannot cancel debts due to her unless the United States does likewise. Grand! precipitated the discussion discus-sion by asking Premier MacDonald to agree never to demand renewal of war debt payments by Italy, In line with the policy he had outlined out-lined as the ideal of Premier Benito Mussolini MacDonald replied politely but firmly that Great Britain is bound by the Balfour declaration, which sets forth that Britain shall ask from her debtors only as much as she needs to pay her own war debts. While she has to continue payment of her own debts, he said, Britain cannot agree to wiping the International slate clean. Then Premier Herriot came forward for-ward with the flat assertion that either the United States must revise re-vise the war debt schedules or Germany Ger-many must continue to pay reparations repara-tions under the Young plan. At the same time Germany continued to stick tightly to Its contention that it can no longer meet the Young plan payments. Herrlot's declaration was made at the end of a day of negotiations which led nowhere. It was given to the press in explanation of why France demands a safeguarding clause, protecting its reparation income in-come in case America remains adamant ada-mant on the debts, In any agreement agree-ment negotiated. Chancellor Von Papen has proposed pro-posed that Germany pay about $000,000,000 in a flat sum on condition condi-tion that the war guilt clause be removed from the treaty of Versailles Ver-sailles and that Germany be permitted per-mitted equality of armament It was the Impression In Lausanne that Von Tapen attached to the conditions even more Importance than to fixing the amount Germany might be called on to pay. Herriot Her-riot however, declined to consider them at all. MacDonald, as the week closed, was trying hard to bring accord between France and Germany. GREAT BRITAIN and the Irish Free State are at each other's throats over the matter of the defaulted de-faulted Irish land annuities. On motion of J. H. Thomas, secretary of state for dominions, domin-ions, the house of commons passed a resolution empowering empow-ering the government govern-ment to Impose a retaliatory tariff on Irish Imports up to 100 per cent as a means of collecting the annuities. The special duties act was then put on its way through parliament, though It was opposed by George Lans-bury, Lans-bury, Labor leader. President De Valera of the Free State has demanded that the dispute dis-pute be referred to an international internation-al tribunal for arbitration, but the British government Insists It must be handled by an empire tribunal. As Mr. Thomas says. Great Britain could never permit foreigners to arbitrate a domestic dispute. The land annuities, amounting to approximately $11,000,000 a year, were set op by the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921 and were intended to reimburse landholders, mostly British, for land purchased for parceling to tenant farmers. WITHOUT having accomplished anything of Importance, the disarmament conference at Geneva prepared to adjourn until next autumn. au-tumn. Its final act was to be the issuance of a statement prepared by Sir John Simon, British foreign secretary, lauding President Hoover's Hoo-ver's proposals for reduction of armaments by one-third and setting set-ting forth certain points In them on which the various delegations were approximately agreed. It also said some phases of the plan would require considerable time for study by the powers concerned. -rr3!23?h i fl ' IK lllij Mi ll J. H.
