tionalist flags and shouting for a boy
cott of British-made good3.
Twelve municipal schools closed

college to another, urging the pupils
to join processions and picketing
those schools where the students re
fused to leave classes. The sentenc
ing of Nehru and Mahmud to six
months simple imprisonment each,
which followed their arrest Monday
for their civil disobedience activities,
Came at a time which added intensity

Bombay nationalists against British
goods.

New York Plan
of Employment
is Found
Weak
Details Made Public and
gestions Given for Im
proving Service
New York A report, detailing
weaknesses in New York State's
free employment service for forward
ing recommendations for immediate
corrective action together with a fiv-e
year state-wide employment stabi
lization program, was submitted on
June 19 to Miss Frances Perkins,
state Advisory Committee on Em
ployment Problems. This committer,
of which F. A. Silcox is chairman.
was appointed by Miss Perkins six
months ago at the suggestion of the
Welfare Council of New York City
to make a survey of state ernploymen
stablization program, was submitted
on June 19 to Miss Frances Perkins,
state industrial commissioner, by the
State Advisory Committee on Em
ployment Problems. This committee,
of which F. A. Silcox is chairman,
was appointed by Mi?s Perkins six
months ago at the suggestion of the
Welfare Council of New York City
to make a survey of state employ
ment problems.
Salient among six recommenda
tions upon which the committee urg
ed immediate action were the ap
pointment of "one capable, trained
executive" at a salary of $7500 to
head the bureau and be directly re
sponsible to the commissioner, in
place of the present 12 superinten
dences for which the highest salary
is $3000, and the appropriation of
$50,00 0 for improvements in the
present organization.
For future development, the re
port recommends a five-year pro
gram which would make the 10 cen
ters through which the bureau oper
ates "scientific and authoritative
centers of information on employ
ment and industrial conditions," and
"the medium for bringing about co
ordination of existing effective
placement agencies."
"Under this plan of operation, the
report continues; "the state officers
would assist in assembling the plans
for public works in their districts in
order to determine to what extent
such public works can be used to
bring about possible relief during
periods of unemployment.
"They would study the problems of
Ftablization and regularization of
employment. They would analyze the
causes of unemployment and suggest
to what extent it might be minim
ized.. They would occupy place
ment fields whatever they are not
effectively covered."
In this connection, the committee
recommended that President Hoove
be requested to initiate a reorganiza
tion of the United States Employ
ment Service "with a view to render
ing more adequate assistance to the
state service."
Analyzing the weaknesses in the
present employment service system,
the report attributes much of its
lack of significant contribution to the
regularization of employment and to
the organization of the labor market
during the 15 years of its existence to
the handicaps of meager appropri
ations and low salaries. Under the
circumstances, it continues, the bu
reau "has not been able to command
the leadership and abilities rqeuired
by the work."
"During the process of the study,"
the report says, "weakness in the
management of state employment of
fices were brought to the attention
of the industrial commissioner. We
are glad to report that steps for the
correction of many of these condi
tions are now under way and that
in some instances considerable pro
gress has already been made."
EXPERTS HUNT MORE
OREGON TRAIL DATA

torical society, have been spending

RECOVERING FROM OPERATION
The many friends of Mrs. Howard
Dodds will be very much pleased to
learn that she is doing very nicely
at the Clarkson hospital at Omaha
where she was operated on Thursday.
The operation was a very serious one
and the patient came through in fine
shape and now seems to be doing just
as well as possible under the circum
stances. After all, the life of a politician is
not an easy one. Fifty per cent of
the people don't believe him and the
other fifty per cent can't understand
him.
Mellon Backs
Up Reparation
Bond Offering
Secretary of Treasury Assails Bill
Against Them as Unneces
sary and 111 Judged
Washington In sharp language
Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of Iho
Treasury, cm June 25, attacked the
resolution before the House Commit
tee' on Banking and Currency which
would prohibit Federal Reserve
banks, national banks and state mem
ber banks of the Federal Reserve
System from purchasing German re
paration bond:-;.
To pass the present legislation.
Mr. Mellon declared, would break
down the distinction between the pri
vate management of the brinks and
the Federal Government's role in the
banking system, and would place the
Government "directly in the banks'
management."
"It is not apparent to me that any
good purpose would be rerved by the
adoption of this resolution. In fact,
f ree no justification for it whatso
ever. The statement in the preamble
that purchases of these bonds by in
vestors who vrv citizens of the United
State's, or by banks of the United
states, would result in the interming
ling of reparation payments with war
debts, is based, evidently, on a com
plete misconception of the situation.
"The: settlements effected by the
United States Government with its
debtors are entirely independent of
the settlement effected by Germany
with its debtors. The United States
Covernment is not a party to tho
Young plan. Neither in the past has
it been, nor will it in the future, be
responsible or the collection fif dis
tribution of reparation payments.
"The purchase by an American
citizen or any American bapk of a
reparation bond cannot alter in any
way our situation or policy in this
respect. It is not apparent to me
liov the sal- of a portion of this
particular bond issue in the Ameri
can market can affect our debt sc-t-"
lenient policy any more than when
i portion of the German external
loan of 1924 was floated in this mar
ket. "I am very definitely of the opin
:or that for tho. reasons above stated
these is no oeoassion for the adoption
of this resolution and that it would
he against public policy to do so. I
nay add for the sake of aocuraoy
hat I know of no provision providing
for the annual sale of German repar
ation bonds in the United States."
Louis T. McFadden (R.), Repre
sentative from Pennsylvania, whose
bill it was that Mr. Mellon criticized,
followed the statement of the Sec
retary, with questions designed to
-Tiring out two "points, (1) that
France' iS teokiivg to distribute the
reparations bond.s as widely as pos
sible to enlist all nations in frocing
Germany to pay it war debts and
(2) that a pnrty in Germany repud
iates the bonds and that there is a
possibility of investors losing money
in the bonds as they did in Russian,
German and Mexican bonds in the
past.
Mr. Mellon minimized this contin
gency. At one point he snid: "The
purchase of foreign bonds is benefi
cial to this country. It is helpful
to international trade. The world is
getting closer together all the time.
The purchase of reasonably safe
foreign bonds ought to be encouraged
rather than discouraged."
10
Minor Parties
on Ballots
Only the Republicans, Democrats
and Independents to
Be Listed
Columbus, O. Minor political
parties of the United States are
ruled off Ohio's 19:'.0 ballots under
the State's new election code effec
tive this year for the first time, in
a decision by Gilbert Rettman, Attorney-General.
Political observers
declare that under the code minor
ities will never have their party
designations appear on the Ohio bal
lots "short of a political revolution,"
unless future legislatures change the
law.
The new code requires that a poli
tical party, or group, must have
nor at the last general election at
polled for its candidate for Gover
nor at the last general election at
least 10 per cent of the total vote
cast for Governor by all parties, in
order to have its own column on the
ballots. In the 192S general elec
tion the four minor parties Social
ist, Prohibition, Socialist-Labor and
Communist Worker rolled alto
gether only two-fifths of one per cent
of the total vote for Governor, it is
3tatod.
An alternative method does not
make it any easier for the minorities.
They would have to obtain signatures
of 15 per cent of the qualified voters
of tho State 375,000 on the basis of
the 192S vote for Governor, declar
ing intention of organizing a politi
cal party in order to win a separate
column on the ballots.
The old law superseded by the new
code permitted any group to have a
designation on the ballot, even tho
it was not actually a political party,
by petition of only one perceut of
the electors, provided the petition
designated a "name or title" under
which the grouo wished to band it
self. This year, however, there will be
only three columns on the ballot
Republican, Doinoorf. tic, and Independent.

Commission
Stands by President With Eif. Ma
jority: Action Thrcvvs Issun
Eicl: in the Senate.
Washington, July 2. Standing by
President Hoover, the house Wed
nesday voted $250,000 for the Wick
er.'.ham commission to continue its
present investigation of law enforce
ment in general and prohibition en
forcement in particular.
Tho veto was 272 to 41. Thirty
democrats and 11 republicans voted
against the appropriations. Most of
the opposition came from anti-prohibitionists.
Tho house also voted that the com
mission be allowed to send its unex
pended balance of about $SO,000 dur
ing the next fiscal year.
Issue to Senate.
This action throws the issue back
to the senate, which originally adopt
ed an amendment to the second de
ficiency appropriation bill, giving
the commission $50,000, plus the un
expended balance, and limiting its in
vestigation to prohibition. Mean
while the senate agreed to take a roll
call vote on the $250,000 item
Thursday.
President Hoover had threatened
to call for contributions from pri
vate sources to carry on the gen
eral crime survey should congress
withhold the funds.
A special rule making the motion
for the Wickersham commission in
order, was adopted after 10 minutes
of debate. The motion itself, in the
form of an amendment to the de
ficiency bill, was not debated.
Force Record Vote.
In the voice vote, there was a
loud chorus of "ayes" from the re
publican side, while only one voice in
opposition Tucker (D. ), Virginia
was heard.
Cram ton (R.J, Michigan, dry lead
er, asked for a rising vote, which re
vealed 110 for and 1C against. Lin
thicum (D.), Maryland, made a point
of order that no quorum was present,
which forced a record vote.
Wood (R.), Indiana, offered the
motion to give the president all he
asked. During debate on the special
rule, O'Connor and Dickstein, demo
crats, from New York, attacked
Frank J. Loesch, a member of the
Wickersham commission, for his re
cent alleged statement that Jews and
Italians are conspicuous in the gang
ster operations.
Calling Loesch's remarks "un-
American," O'Connor said Loesch
was "not fit to associate with decent,
ied-blooded Americans!"
Dickstein demanded that Loesch
furnish proof of his charge. Most
bootleggers are Americans, he added.
