‘PITIFUL’SAY
DEMOCRATS OF
HOOVER BLAST
WASHINGTON. March M
Sharp criticism of Herbert Hoover’s
message to California republicans
resounded in administration quar
ters Saturday with two democratic
leaders openly Interpreting the for
mer president’s statement an ef
fort to return to the White House.
8peaker Burns tersely termed
Hoover's criticism of New Deal
policies "another statement for
1936.” Senator Connally iD-Tex)
took the .same view in these words:
“If Mr. Hoover in the White
House had done only a fraction of
what Mr Hoover out of the White
House now says should be done, he
would not have to make such a
feeble attack on the Roosevelt ad
ministration in his palpable and
pitiful effort to get back in the
White House.”
Democratic Leader Robinson, said
in a statement that "Mr. Hoover
condemns what U being done by
the Roosevelt administration, but
makes no suggestion of specific
measures or remedies pertaining to
the evils of which he complains "
Republicans generally declined to
be drawn into the debate, although
8enator Hastings of Delaware ap
proved of the former president's
statement and said the “old princi
ples" advocated by the republicans
■till were sound.
DEMS SCOFF AND
REPUBLICANS AG RLE
WASHINGTON. March 23 JP>—
Herbert Hoover’s militant message
to California republicans aroused
conflicting conjecture Saturday as
to whether he is contemplating a
political comeback attempt.
Coinciding as It does with mul
tiplying signs of O O. P. organiza
tion activity over the country, the
move struck some at the capitol as
evidencing a determination to be
party leader in fact as well as In
name Others were not so sure,
adopting a ‘wait and see" attitude
as they Indicated reluctance to be
quoted on the political potential
ities.
While democrats scoffed, such
republican regulars as Representa
tive Snell of New York and Senator
Hastings of Delaware agreed with
the Hoover arraignment of the
New Deal
Senator MeNary republican lead
er In his branch m congress, held
off with:
“I have no comment lo make on
anything that gentleman might
•ay."
Although senators who saw him
recently were inclined to scout sug
gestions that the former president
looks ahead to the 1936 convention,
other sources in touch with him be
lieve he holds an open mind on the
question of another presidential
nomination. His view, as outlined
by friends. Is that candidacies of
any nature should be subordinated
for the time to a re-unltlng of the
party
Of the Hoover message. Senator
Hastings said "I agree with him
and still hold the belief the re
publican party is the onlv hope of
the country." Senator Nve fR-ND)
suggested that John Winant. for
mer governor of New Hampshire. Is
a progressive who would make the
best republican presidential candi
date in 1936. The partv. Nve said,
must "divorce itself from big busi
ness "

PARIS, March 23 —Complete
’ unity ol purpose" among France.
England and Italy was announced
late Saturday a* a result of the day
long three-power conference on Ger
man rearmament on the eve of Sir
John Simon's momentous visit to
Berlin.
Backed by Premier Mussolini s
sudden order mobilizing 220.000 addi
tional men and official French ad
mission of the transfer of troops to
the Rhine frontier, the conference
announced agreement that the Brit
ish foreign secretary s talks with Hit
ler will follow the lines of the Lon
don declaration following the An
glo-French agreement and will be of
‘exploratory character.”
Mussolini’s three-power confer
ence after Sir John's visit was set for
April 11 at Stress, Italy.
Communique Iseued
A communique issued by the con
ference said:
’’Foreign Minister Pierre Laval
Capt. Anthony Eden and Under
secretary of Fongn Affairs Fulvio
Suvich met at the Quai D'Orsay and
proceeded to exchange views upon
the general situation.
’’In the course of the conversa
tions it was decided that the visit
of the British ministers to Berlin
would be of exploratory character
and scope and the purpose of their
conversation would be that agreed
upon m the London communique of
Feb. 3. in regard to which the iden
tity oi the views nf the government*
of London. Pans, and Rome have
been affirmed.
| ’It was decided that after this
! visit and other British visits to Mos
cow. Warsaw and Praha, all of
which visits are undertaken with
the good wishes of the other two
governments, the British. French
! and Italian foreign ministers would
meet at Stresa on the 11th of April
League in Background
'Foreign Minister Laval. Capt
I Eden and Under-Secret an- Suvich
, noted with satisfaction the complete
i unity of purpose of their govern
ments.''
Frances citation of Germany be
fore the league council was not men
tioned in the communique and it was
said in informed quarters that the
league proceedings ‘appear to be
pushed into the background.’*
This was understood to be the re
sult of British pressure to have
France avoid anything drastic until
there is time for the British to learn
exactly what Hitler intends.
France, it was understood, had pro
posed at the conference that a pub
lic discussion of penalties for Ger
many take place at a me“tinc of the
League of Nations, the penalties
suggested being mainly economic in
nature.
and others interested in the matter
in an attempt to bring the matter
to the attention of the proper au
horities.
A Canadian representative of the
Exchange some time ago advised
its officials that citrus fruits from
even producing country in the
world, except the United States,
were admitted into Canada with
out payment of duty and that
"there seems to be a feeling and
some talk of the United States and
Canada getting together on a more
reasonable tariff arrangement."
In a letter to Secretary Hull.
Melden pointed out that Texas
grapefruit has been accepted favor
ably in the Canadian markets, that
Texas furnishes the sire and va
riety and quality of fruit that
pleases Canadian consumers, that
the tariff of 75 cents per box on
Texas fruit entering Canada is a
penalty not charged against other
citrus-producing countries and that
Canada should be an important
outlet for Texas grapefruit because
of its close proximity.
Senator Sheppard recently advis
ed Shary that he was "pleased to
note the revival of interest in this
particular subject" and that he was
i>articularly Interested in securing
the fret entry of grapefruit and
oranges Into Canada.
Valley exports of grapefruit to
Canada have dropped rapidly dur
ing the past three seasons. United
States Department of Agriculture
reports for the‘last three seasons
show that grapefruit shipments to
Canada in the 1931-32 season
amounted to 293 cars During the
1932-33 season, only 93 cars went
to Canada, and in the 1933-34 sea
son only 22 cars moved to that
country.
While it is true also according to
department of agriculture records,
that total shipments of grapefruit
declined steadily during those same
years because of smaller crops and
economic reasons, the percentage
of decline indicates that something
more than ordinary business rea
sons must have brought about the
comparatively sudden disappear
ance of Texas citrus from the Can
adian market. It is with a view
toward reopening that particular
market that the reciprocal trade
agreement suggestion has been for
warded to Washington officials by
Shary and Melden.
