LANDON came to the surface in a radio address to 17,000,000 Americans who voted for him in the last election, and es- S r ' I Alf JI. Landon pecially to the Republican Re-publican party as a whole. He said he had called this "radio "ra-dio meeting" to sug-gest sug-gest ways and means by which "we, the minority party," can be of outstanding service to the country. The Kansan declared de-clared President Roosevelt had failed as an administrator, had failed to follow the Constitution, and now was demanding increased power. "What he really needs is less power," pow-er," Mr. Landon asserted, "a position posi-tion that will force him to take the advice and counsel of other men of both parties men whose hearts also are in the right place, but men who have had more experience and who know more about the practical application of government than he does." It is up to the Republicans, he said, to curb Mr. Roosevelt in his demands. He also discussed the war talk prevalent after the President's Presi-dent's Chicago speech and said: "We are faced with a situation where he may make a mistake that would indeed be tragic, that might lead to war. Close observers have increasing doubt if he thought his recent declaration through to its logical conclusion." In conclusion Mr. Landon said: "We have had a New Deal. Now what we most need in America is a new yardstick a yardstick to measure meas-ure the ability and the accomplishments, accomplish-ments, as well as the good intentions, inten-tions, of public officials. "It is time to put a solid foundation founda-tion of workable legislation under the air castles which the President forever is blowing. "It is time to realize that we must apply the resources of the mind if we are to make the wishes of the heart come true." Farmers Warned on Loans rDWARD A. O'NEAL, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, headed a group of farm leaders who called on the President Presi-dent for the purpose of asking loans of 60 cents a bushel on corn to improve prices. It was understood Mr. Roosevelt warned that crop loans should not be pushed so hitih that the drain on federal revenues would become too heavy; and that he intimated that the budgot would not permit great extension of loans at this time. However, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace subsequently told a pre:;s conference a government o;m on this year's hire corn crop "should be exceedingly desirable." He declined de-clined to say what loan rate he favored, fa-vored, but conceded that a corn loan of about 45 cents a bushel would be comparable to the government's 9 cent a pound loan on this vear's cotton crop.

I ity, free from the disastrous extremes ex-tremes of booms and depressions. Only in that way can our economic system and our democratic institutions institu-tions endure." Mr. Roosevelt avoided mention of the jittery condition of the stock markets, but before delivering his address he had seen Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau and learned that the market was recovering, recov-ering, due to heavy buying by bargain bar-gain hunters and perhaps to recovery recov-ery of confidence by investors. Among the many notable persons on the platform with the President was Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, Vir-ginia, who fathered the federal reserve re-serve system during the Wilson administration. ad-ministration. The veteran senator was loudly cheered. Roper hiss a Program W.AXIEL C. ROPER, secretary of commerce, also made a speech in Washington, under the auspices of the Rotary club. His subject was the economic relationships of the nations of the western hemisphere, and he proposed this four-point program pro-gram which he believed would benefit bene-fit the entire world: 1. United action throughout the Americas for the publication of verified ver-ified facts about every country, stressing constructive events and objectives rather than prejudice, crimes, and disrupting events. 2. The introduction into the educational edu-cational system of every country study of other languages so that each country would be better prepared pre-pared in attitude and knowledge to help develop its own country. "This means," he said, "that no country will exploit the resources of another country." 3. Encourage tourist travel among all the Americas by truthful advertising adver-tising and better travel facilities. 4. Eroader studies by the countries coun-tries in the western hemisphere of each other's economic and social needs in the light of the individual country. New Budget Figures PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT found his estimate of $418,000,000 as the probable deficit for 1038 fiscal year was much too low. So he gave out new budget figures putting the probable prob-able deficit at nearly 700 millions. And it admittedly will be much greater unless the executive and congress achieve very considerable economies. . Felix Warburg Dios PELIX M.

Rebels Take Gijon "REAT BRITAIN, France and It-aly It-aly with Germany on the sidelines side-lines were still trying to come to agreement for the removal of volunteers volun-teers from Spain, but Generalissimo Franco wasn't waiting. His forces in northwest Spain pushed forward to surround Gijon, last important loyalist seaport in that area, and insurgent in-surgent warships blocked escape by way of the sea. The commanders of the defending loyalist troops realized real-ized their predicament and surrendered surren-dered the city unconditionally. The place was crowded with 130.000 half-starved half-starved refugees. The loyalists still were in possession of some strategic points in that sector. Occupation by the Italians and Germans of two island groups off the coasts of Spain was reported in Paris newspapers. It was alleged that the Italians had occupied the Columbretes islands is-lands only 40 miles off the east Mediterranean Med-iterranean coast and had established a submarine base there. Normally the islands are occupied only by members of a lighthouse crew. Germans were alleged to have occupied oc-cupied Alboran isla- d, 50 miles oil' , the south Mediterranean coast and ' directly in the path of all shipping j to and from Gibraltar. The Ger- mans were said to have established a submarine base on t -e island, likewise used principally i.cretol.;re as a lighthouse station. Davis Sent to Brussels NTORMAN H.
