made the task of rescue difficult, however. Late In the day Pan American was advised that one of the Army Air corps' "flying fortresses." a four-motored land machine long cruising range, had taken off from Langley field, Virginia, with flares and other emergency equipment to drop to survivors. The plane returned later, its commander reporting that bad weather conditions made it impossible to proceed to the scene.

Landon told the Kansas Press assoclation last night. "This clash may never come to open military violence, but it is just as bitter and just as real. none-the-less. It Is an economic war, based on new methods of economic penetration, These new are just as dangerous to representative government as new war maJobs and opportunity for mil. lions of free men are at stake "In today's modern warfare." the 1936 Republican presidential nominee said in nationwide broadcast, "financlal reserves are just as important u.S military reserves.

In any war, modern or ancient, the country with the soundest finances and the greatest natural resources possessed an undeniable advantage. A sound fiscal policy is prerequisite to preparation for military or naval defense. It is prerequisite, a.s well, to preparation for economic conflict. "Our government cannot continue. hoping for the future breaks financially, anymore than it dares gamble on the lack of necessity for military defenses.

Any government head over debt is in a bad position to defend itself." Discusses Fascist Propaganda As a member of the United States delegation to the recent Pan-American conference at Lima, Peru, Landon said he and others were interested in ing first-hand to what extent Nazi, Communist or Fascist nations had entered the political life of the South American countries. "It didn't take long to find out that totalitarian propaganda had had its elfect." he said. "A fascinating and dangerous maze of propaganda and intrigue has been directed against us and our democratic ideals in those republics." Landon said that despite a German and Italian controlled press in South America "the general feeling of the nations to the south of us is friendly to the United States." "Our president sees the necessity for adequate naval and military defense. But even after six years of failure to restore employment and prosperity he has failed to see the vital need for sound government finances. This is tragic indeed for our country."

Range" Nature WASHINGTON. (AP) Chairman (D- of the senate interstate commerce committee expressed conviction yesterday that any aid congress can give to the railroads must be of a long-range rather than an emerm gency nature. "There is no panacea that can be worked out for immediate benefit to the railroads outside of giving them money out of, the treasury of the United States." he said.

"I don't think the president would want to do that, and I'm sure I don't want to do it." Wheeler has conferred with President Roosevelt in recent weeks on the problem raised failure of many railroads to earn even their Axed charges. He said he thought a helpful longtime program could be worked out and was drafting legislation to accomplish these major objectives: 1-Reorganization of the Interstate Commerce commission, with control of all forms of transportation, except aeronautics, vested in the agency. 2-Make possible voluntary cooordination of railroad facilities and voluntary consolidation, even of competing lines, subject to I. C. C.

approval and with the condition that labor be protected against loss of employment. 3-Speeding up of financial reorganizations, probably by giving the Interstate Commerce commission greater authority to fix the amount of recapitalization and interest charges. (He expressed the opinion proposals for a special court to handle railroad reorganizations were impractical). Action Seen This Year Wheeler said that even tho these measures did promise immediate Anancial relief. not, felt it would be desirable to enact them at this session.

"I think we can get some of it passed at this session--at least I'm going to try," he said. Asserting that all railroad legislation was "highly controversial." Wheeler said it would be necessary to obtain substantial agreement among the committees congress. the railroad brotherhoods and managements, and of, the administration if a railroad program was to be successful. Persons close to the White House said President Roosevelt has not yet endorsed a specific legislative program to help the roads. He is expected to confer within a few days with some members of the special railroad labormanagement committee which recently recommended An extensive legislative program.

Wheeler said he favored having the government lend money to the railroads at low rates of interest "providing the government is amply secured." but was opposed to granting subsidy to the carriers.

Russell E. Palmer who gray. guards the health of the 450 families on isolated Beaver island. Dr. Palmer, a graduate of the University of Toronto, for 16 winters has been driving his way thru huge snow drifts and performing emergency operations on kitchen tables by the uncertain light of oil lamps.

Emergencies, which have a habit of cropping up most frequently in the winter, have plagued him ever since he came to the island. Limited equipment and isolated farmhouses make things diffcult.

Palmer said his worst trip was last winter when he was called to farm 11 miles from St. James. He hired a sleigh and left the village at midnight with Coast Guard Paul Somerville. The horses floundered in the snowdrifts and Somerville had to walk ahead of the team with a flashlight. They reached the patient five hours later, over a route which may be covered in summer in less than 30 minutes.
