KNOX ASKS RECOVERY FIRST
Milwaukee. Frank Knox , pub
lisher said the nation's activities
should contemplate recovery first
and reform later, and as such "de
serve from national leadership a dis
play of common sense."
"We have." Knox tcld his au
dience, "a planned economy without
plans." Billions of dollars have been
loaned to stimulate the capital seeds
industries, he said, only to have code
agreements prohibit investments in
new capital goods.
"Washington announces a scheme
to get 3 million farmers off the
farms, and almost in the sam breath
another scheme to get 3 million city
workers on the land," he said.
"We are told that the NRA was
designed to get prices up and the
reverberation of this declaration
hardly died down before the admin
istrator of the NRA implored the in
dustrial leaders of the country, "For
God's sake, keep prices down."
ASKS AID FOR MARYVELLE
Maryville, Mo. Funds to aid 150
families who were victims of a tor
nado here Tuesday night have been
requested by William Baxter, Jr.
St. Louis, manager of the midwest
crn division cf the American Red
Cross. Mr. Baxter made a regional
appeal for aid. He asserted if divi
sional contributions are not suffi
cient, the national Red Cross will
make an appeal. A Red Cross sur
vey showed 250 families here were
stricken by the storm and that 150
families will need help.
The total of fatalities in the tor
nado was brought to five when Sam
uel W. Morrow, 42, Bevier, Mo., a
member of the civilian conservation
camp here, died.

THE POTTER AND HIS CLAY
We read in Jeremiah about a
Potter and his clay.
It seems the people then were
the same as those o to
day. He warned the solons of his
time, to take a sure, posi
tive stand.
For truth and justice and avoid
building on dangerous sink
ing sand.
The Potter, as the clay he deft
ly moulds,
Into shape and beauty of char
acter it quickly responds
and unfolds,
Then finishing it off, with his
own brawny hands.
Is building securely against
the danger of sinking
sands.
Beware Mr. Potter; and don't
become the clay.
Letting it mould you and hav
ing its own sweet way,
But be firm for principle and
the right, taking a dras
tic stand,
And you will avoid the treach
erous shoals and danger of
sinking sand.
Many of our lawmakers are
looking wholly another
way,
And seem to be afraid, of hav
ing anything to say,
When a measure before the
house would surely place
our land.
And his people and a nation in
danger of sinking sand.
Look out for the politician who
says, he will one hundred
percent obey,
In the halls of our congress,
what the bosses have to
say.
With the courage of a lion, he
should take a servant's
stand,
Rather than flounder, and mire
a nation, into dangerous
sinking sand.
The Potter should have in
mind Just what he desires
to mould.
And produce a masterpiece, that
is worthy to behold.
Which made Its impress as he
shaped its form with his
own hands.
Would surely save him from
drifting upon dangerous
sinking sands.
J. R. Tremble.
PLAN PARLEY ON SECURITY
Washington. A national confer
ence here on economic security was
called by Secretary Perkins for Nov.
14. Experts in many fields of se
curity against what Miss Perkins
called the "primary recognized so
cial hazards" will be invited for con
ferences with President Roosevelt's
economic security committee. Miss
Perkins is chairman.
The committee has finished its pre
liminary report, but so far has not
made any definite recommendations.
Old age pension and unemployment
insurance legislation is to be pro
posed at the next session of congress
as a result of the committee's work.
The committee, however, is going
farther, surveying the field of health
Insurance,, among other things.

DAD!
Aid Pledged
to Roosevelt
by Bankers
Respond to Appeal for "Shoulder-to
Shoulder" Efforts Want the
Eudget Balanced.
Washington, Oct. 25. The Am
erican Bankers' association pledged
its co-operation with President!
Roosevelt's recovery efforts today in
a significant gesture of response to
the president's reassuring address
calling for shoulder-to-shoulder ac
tion. Recommendations of the resolu
tions committee calling for continued
co-operation with the administra
tion and urging early balancing of
the budget were adopted unanimous
ly in a conciliatory spirit in sharp
contrast to the anti-new deal senti
ment prevalent at last year's con
vention. Av the same time there were
individual expressions of criticism
for the president's speech.
The stand of the four thousand
cleared the way for a co-operative
drive for recovery along the lines
suggested by the president in hi3 ad
dress last night.
"The time is ripe for an alliance
of all forces," he said.
Needs Recognized.
The association went on record as
recognizing the temporary need of
large emergency expenditures, and as
viewing President Roosevelt as "an
understanding statesman" for "set
ting a time schedule for expendi
tures to be made for relief and re
covery." Balancing of the budget, the ap
proved report said, "would eliminate
fears of currency inflation." The
bankers, at the same time held that
stability of the monetary system is
"fundamental" if business is to im
prove. Industry and trade were called on
to avail themselves of credit facil
ities by the association.
Max B. Nahm, chairman of the
resolutions committee, read the re
port before a large audience in the
National theater and it was approv
ed without further discussion.
Other Resolutions.
"Understanding statesmen," the
budget resolution said, "meet such
emergencies as they arise, but at the
same time make it clear that ex
penses cannot be allowed to exceed
income indefinitely."
Just before adjournment, the eco
nomic policy commission of the as
sociation presented conclusions that
"American business will again be
come a good customer of American
banking when the prospects for busi
ness profits promise to justify the
risks of borrowing. The initiative
must be that of the business man, it
cannot be that of the banker."
The concluding session of the con
vention saw the bankers rise to give
a vote of appreciation for a speech
by David Lawrence, a Washington
newspaperman. lie assailed the poli
cies of the Roosevelt administration.
To "Further Understanding."
A cross-section view cf the asso
ciation concerning the president's
speech was described today by its re
tiring president, Francis M. Law, as
pointing the way for "further un
derstanding and co-operative effort"
lie promised the bankers would "do
their full duty."
"We desire," Law said, "to assure
the president that the banks have
full confidence in the people. The
bankers liked the clear statement of
the president that labor of mind and
hand are entitled to fair profits lor
their labor.
Refers to Reynolds Talk.
"The banks have always been in
alliance with industry, labor, busi
ness and agriculture, and the pres
ident's call for a closer alliance will
meet our full response."
Referring to the speech of Jack
son Reynolds, president of the First
National bank of New York, whe
preceded the president, Law said:
"The address of Mr. Reynolds and
the message of the president were
complimentary. Mr. Reynolds gave
assurance of the bankers' desire to
co-operate fully with the government
in every sound recovery effort."

providing a pension of ?200 a month
to all persons over 60 years of age,
with the stipulation that it must all
be expended for useful commodities
during the month. Besides putting a
lot of money in circulation it would
prohibit all persons over the pension
age from engaging in any work for
hire and thus provide jobs for many
ycunger men now out of employment.
At least that is what its sponsors
claim, but we leave it to you, readers
