Roosevelt Makes First Political Statement
In Agricultural Section In Form Of
Support Of Adjustment Act
(By The Assoeialed Press)
FREMONT, Nebraska, Sept. 28, — President Roosevelt
today told a farm audience that the AAA was giving the
farmers “really a chance for the first time in this genera
tion”.
He stated that the effort, to aid agriculturists was a “true
function of government under the constitution”. He called
the AAA economically, a constitutional democracy in a good
old sense of the word. The gvernment’s part in this pro
gram is merely to supply the unifying element that the
farmers themselves, in the past, found so essential to sue
cess.- •
“It seems to me that the true function of government
under our constitution is to promote the general welfare,
not by interfering unduly with individual liberties but by
bringing to the aid of those individuals, those powers of gov
ernment which are essential to assure the continuance of
those inalienable rights which the constitution intended to
guarantee”, the President stated.
Constitutionality of much that is being carried on has
been challenged in the courts. Roosevelt asserted that the
income of farmers had been increased by five million, three
hundred thousand dollars over the 1932 level.
“I think that the AAA is is an expression in concrete
form of the human rights those farmer patriots sought to
win when they stood at the bridge at Concord; when they
proclaimed the Declaration of Independence and when they
perpetuated these ideals by the adoption of the Constitu
tion. Methods of machinery change, but principles go on.
1 have faith that no matter what attempts may demand
turning it down, the principle of farm equality as expressed
by the Agricultural Adjustment Act, will not be questioned.”
said President Roosevelt, concluding his address here.
WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
Some of the monuments erected
after the world war are beginning
to look a little shabby. Generally
stated, the veterans are going strong
but it is doubted whether most of
them would care to shoulder the
hardships through which they pass
ed almost two decades ago. A re
funding plan of the Treasury brings
to light the fact that war expendi
tures amounting to about fifteen
billion dollars still tarry as part of
the public debt. Memoria structures
of one kind and another are fairly
permanent and satisfactory as re
minders, but as a memorandum of
something that happened in the past,
nothing seems to defy the assaults
of time quite so well as an old
fashioned debt. A man may lay
away a ten dollar bill and forget
about it. His memory will receive
plenty of refreshment if he has
permitted himself to go ten dollars
in the hole.

turn their undivided attention to the
forthcoming World Series with the
Detroit Tigers, member of the Am

1 Grimm’s Cubs have every reason
to be confident, even though they
start the series in the enemy ramp
ground Wednesday, and will bump ■
into the toughest American League
outfit since Ruth and Gehrig Are
at the top.
The Cubs won the pennant in

streaks on record.
Roosevelt Makes
Known Policy Of
The United States
(By The Associated Press)
Enroute with the President Spec
ial—Sept. 28, — Apparently taking
the published reports as true of
Great Britain's intention to renounce
the Washington Naval Treaty, Pres
ident Roosevelt gave notice of the
American intention to adhere to the
terms of that agreement, but said:
‘Failure to renew these treatties
'or a renunciation of these treaties
j could change the American policy":
He made the message public as he
'traveled across Indiana. The Pres
ident in commenting further said
that the American naval policy was
the same as it had been for the past
two and a half years—which was
to bring the Navy up to the strength
of the Washington and London |
treaties by 1942
Japan has already given notice j
that she intends to renounce the
treaties in view of obtaining parties
of other nations in alliances in the
naval races.

worthy, the survey said. ^

was reported by the newspapers to

if it would hasten the calling of a

nava! building competition in the

ITALY WILL NOT QUIT
LEAGUE UNTIL BLAME
IS TAKEN BY NATIONS
League Council Preparing Recommenda
tions In Crisis As Italian Delegation
Continues !>e Absent Sessions
(By The Associated Press)
UNDATED, Sept. 28, —While Rome declared her
temporary loyalty to the League, she nrjde a new gesture
of peace toward Great Britain.
Meanwhile Emperor Selassie sent printed proclama
tions of mobilization to all of his provincial governors so
they can be released, if and when Italy’s attitude warrants
it.
The Suez Canal Company indicated it would keep the
Canal open regardless of what sanctions might be taken—
even to open conflict.
The Italian cabinet decided that Italy would not ab
andon the League until the League assumes full responsibil
ity for the measures against Italy, when it declared “Italy’s
policy has no immediate or remote aims which could injure
Britain’s interests.”
UNDATED, Sept. 28, — The Italian government’s cab
inet communique disclosed ‘‘Italy had communicated to
Great Britain its readiness to negotiate for further accords
which would harmonize with the legitimate interests of
Great Britain in East Africa.”
Meanwhile Britain is speeding up her plans for emer
gency naval construction, bringing her fleet to safe limits.
She began today calling for bids on twenty-one ships em
braced by her 1935 naval building program.
At the same time it was learned that England had ap
proached France to ascertain in what manner France would
assist in carrying through her obligations under the Leag
ue Covenant, in the event that a clash developed in the Med
iterranean, where most of the British fleet is now based.
The League Council, meanwhile, with Italy resentfully
absent as an interested party, raced against time in its ef
fort to complete recommendations in the crisis before the
“incidents” would make the tension intolerable.
Some of Sellassie’s warriors are stirred to an extreme
ly high pitch of war frenzy, following a military pageantry
today, marking the end of the rainy season. The Emperor in
view of the dramatics feared for the safety of the Italian
Minister Count Luigi Vinci Gigliucci._
