I'aris, March ?3 (A I’)—The
three-power coufereeiie here be
tween France, England and Italy
announced this afternoon that
“omplete unity of purpose" among
(heir governments was apparent
after the day-long conference on

It was agreed that Sir John

By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
Washington, March 23—-Betting in i
Washington (notably in state war and
navy depai4meaKal circles) is two
ways:
To the effect that German rearma
ment additionally threatens world
peace.
To the effect that German rearma
ment will force general dis-armament.
Pessimistic prophets am much more
numerous than optimistic forecaters,
but it Ls possible that the optimistic
group is the more intelligen of the
two.
Army and navy men are almost a
unit in icasoning that Herr Hitler’s
recent announcement strains interna
tional relationships acutely to the
danger point. However, that's how
they would reason —naturally.
Most of the optimists are to be
found in the state department build
ing adjoining the White House.

Washington, March 23. —(AP)—
Flourish of President Roosevelt's
pen today brought Philippine In
dependence another step nearer
realization.
Surrounded by Philippine and
Cnited States officials, the Presi

ed insular constitution.
That marked the last action
necessary by the United States for
the establishment of home rule
government in Manila on Novem

To the assembled officials Mr.
Roosevelt announced that lie
would nominate Claro M. Recto

Dully Dlspntoh Bnreaa,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY C. A* PAUL,
Raleigh, March 23. —The much-dis
cussed Hill lisuor control bill is still
in the Senate Finance Committee file,
but it is not. as has been reported,
"slumbering." The bill is being rewrit
ten solely as a revenue measure, will
be offered as an amendment to the
revenue bill but will not be offered
until the Senate takes up the revenue
bill. The finance committee will pres
ent the bill purely as ar evenue mea
sure since that body is concerned
only with the revenue angle of the
bill and because some members of the
committee feel that the judiciary No.
2 committee which had previously re
ported the bill “without prejudice”
by a 11-4 vote has passed on the
merits of the bill the finance com
mittee will present the bill as a tax
measure.
Although Senator Harris Newman,
chairman of the finance committee
would make no statement on the bill,
it has been learned that the course
outlined will be followed.
It is certain that the bill is being
redrafted and that the revenue clause
of the original bill is being changed.
The very likely probability is that the
bill, when it finally re-emerges, will
be without its revenue-raising feature
and that the revenue feature will bw
incorporated in a separate measure
and offered as a new section to be
added to the revenue bill.
It is known that many of the fin
ance committeemen will vote to of
fer the bill as a revenue producer,
without comment as to the merits of
the State system of liquor stores
which the bill proposes to establish.
Some of them feel that it is up to
the senators and the House members
to decide upon the merits of the sys
tem and that it is the sole duty of

Washington. March 23.—(AP)--The
$4,880,000,000 work-relief bill, with
numerous modifications, including a
modified silver inflation plan, was
passed today by tlje Senate.
This ended two weeks of struggle
and returns the measure to the House
with amendments.
Administration strategy called for
sending the long controverted relief
measure to a conference between the
Senate and House to reconcile some
of the outstanding differences.
Leaders expected to see stricken
out in conference an amendment by
Senator Thomas, Democrat, Okla
homa. for a currency expansion of
$373,000 000 through the issuance of
silver ertificates at the $1.29 an
ounce monetary value of the Treas
ury’s silver stocks, instead of the
present practice of using the purchase
value of the silver.
Just before passage, the Senate ac
cepted an amendment by McCarran,
Democrat, Nevada, to require Senate
confirmation of all officials receiving
$5,002 or more who would have char
ge of expenditure of the huge sum.

He .did not give the amount

12-cent loans on 1934 cotton hold
ings would be extended indefinite
ly beyond the present maturity
date of July 31, 1935.
Earlier Wallace denies a predic

Georgia, that processing taxes
would be lifted on bread, meat
and clothing.
"Sill
Would Not Help Matters
Here for Gold Bloc
Nations to Abandon It
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer
New York, March 23. —What, evi
dently, currency devaluers do not rea
lize is that to push the remaining gold
standard countries off the gold stan
dard is deflationary. Any further de
valuation of the dollar, for example,
to meet the devaluation of currencies
abroad is likely to create further un
certainty in the United States—and
uncertainty means retardation of bus
iness and decline in prices.
That is the view of New Yorw fin
ancial interests.
ISSING GREENBACKS
The growing belief among the peo
ple that the issuance of greenbacks
in large quantities by the government
would increase the wealth of individ
uals is termed "absurd’’ by conser
vative economists.
Unless the greenbacks were delib
erately given away they would fall
into the same hands as the people
who now own the money—through
their monopolistic control of the pro
ductive factors of life.
It is not the issuance of paper
money—liberal economists tell us—
that brings plenty to people but the
spreading distribution of the wealth
created by ht,e productive effort, of
the people.
