Davis warned tonight against the death of representative democracy, "by the slow strangulation of an en- girdling bureaucracy." If it must die, he said, "it would die a nobler death in the lighting and storm." "Surely we have warrant to be- lieve," the 1924 Democratic presiden- tial candidate told the institute of public affairs at the University of Vir- ginia, "that within the framework provided by the 'old order,' progress is still possible, reforms are still prac- ticable and recovery is still attain- able." "In the court of reason, in the light of history, the burden of proof rests wholly on those who would per- suade us to the contrary." The New York attorney said he was speaking "neither for nor against the New Deal in the present use of .that alluring phrase. Under that title good has been done, no doubt, which no one would wish to undo." "And I share the general admira- tion evoked by the energy and driv- ing power shown by President Roose- velt," he continued. 32 Will Visit Ford Plant On 4th Trip Today Tour Will Be Repeated; Proving Grounds Trip Quota Filled Thirty-two students will make the trip to the Ford Plant at River Rouge today with Professor Carl J. Coe, di- rector of Summer Session excursions, it was announced yesterday by the office of the Summer Session, which handles all reservations for excur- sions. Only an exact busload is being1 taken on this excursion, as it will be repeated Wednesday, July 18, for all those who are unable to go today. The party will meet at Angell Hall at 12:45 p.m. today, and will be driven to the Ford Motor company plant at River Rouge where they will spend two hours inspecting the huge indus- trial center which houses on its 1,000 acresscomplete facilities for every process of the many enterprises car- ried on by the Ford Motor company.c From the ore unloading dock wheret raw ore is delivered for use in the1 steel mills, and the huge open hearth furnace where old car bodies are baled1 and melted, to the final assembly linec where in 45 minutes the thousands1 of small parts are bolted together into an automobile which drives away un- der its own power, the River Rouge plant is a complete unit in itself. It is considered an excellent ex- ample of the Ford industrial tech- nique of high specialization of labor, the continuous conveyor-belt system, standardized processing of materials, the 30-hour week with its huge em- ployment rolls of over 100,000 men atI capacity output, and large scale pro-c duction.

Handman of the economics department, who lectured yesterday on "Can and Should America be Self- Sufficient?" "We are not confronted with coun- tries starting on their economic ca- reers without any previous commit- ments or previous economic rela- tions," stated Professor Handman. "America in its economic life is so intimately connected with world eco- nomic activities that it is pure folly to speak of our becoming self-suffi- cient." ' Lists Exports "In 1929," Professor Handman con- tinued, "we exported 55 per cent of cotton, 18 per cent of our wheat, 41 per cent of our tobacco, 34 per cent of our kerosene, and between 10 and 15 percent of our manufactured prod- ucts. Certainly this is not self-suffi- ciency." An economic life which is organ- ized on that basis cannot easily be disturbed without serious or even fatal consequences, according to Professor Handman. "Besides," he asked, "what reason is there for disturbing it? Our foolish investment procedure should rather make us overhaul our banking system than disorganize our economic life." "If we cannot settle the problem in this way do we expect to solve the farm problem by creating 40 millions of idle acres, or settle the problems of an industrial surplus by cutting off the possibility of selling abroad that small increment of five per cent which may mean the differ- ence between success and failure in business?" There is of course, said Professor Handman, the old argument that self- sufficiency is necessary for purpose of war, an argument which has been proved worthless during the last war. Derides Self-Sufficiency "Self-sufficiency," according to Professor Handman, "means hot- house industries which endanger the whole industrial technological struc- ture and makes it less able to with- stand attacks from without or dis- organization from within." Refuting the argument that self- sufficiency is a promoter of peace, Professor Handman said that he be- lieves the opposite effect is produced, that is a self-sufficiency policy results in war rather than peace, because no nation will feel sufficiently secure in its self-sufficiency without wishing to' acquire additional territory to guar- antee that self-sufficiency. "Fundamentally however," con- cluded Professor Handman, America's economic problems are not centered around this question of self-suffi- ciency or international division of la- bor, but those centering around an organization of production and dis- tribution which will enable us to util- ize our magnificent natural resources and our great technical skill so as to provide our entire population with a decent and comfortable standard of living." Russia Starts To Strengthen Naval Forces MOSCOW, July 10. - ()- Soviet Russia, lacking an adequate navy to lefend its great Arctic, Baltic, Black Sea and Pacific coast line, is building extensively and has no interest in limiting its navy at this time.

On Social Work Being Carried Out The social and economic develop- ment of the area affected by the im- provement of the Tennesee River basin, under the Tennessee Valley Au- thority established by President Roosevelt, was the basis of a discus- sion yesterday morning before mem- bers of the fifth annual Summer Edu- cational Conference by Dr. Floyd W. Reeves, director of personnel and so- cial development of the Authority. The speech was the first of a series woven about the general topic, "Ap- praisal and Re-adjustment in Educa- tion," with which other addresses and open discussions of the Conference will deal. The Tennessee Valley Authority, one of the developments of the New Deal, has as a major function the im- provement of the Tennessee River Basin, Dr. Reeves told his listeners. The organization of the Authority began with the first meeting of the Board of Directors on June 16, 1933. Since that time, work toward the ac- complishment of the function for which the Authority was created has been progressing at a rapid rate. Since the program is one of long- time development, the manner of ap- proach differs from that used for gen- eral relief projects. As a first step, it is necessary to determine the causes underlying the present economic sit- uation in the area and attempt to correct these causes rather than to provide immediate relief by artificial means, Dr. Reeves explained. After touching upon the general developments of the projects, includ- ing the construction of dams, the work in soil erosion, and the produc- tion of fertilizers in the district - as well as the co-ordination of agricul- ture and industry necessary to bring about the full development of the project - Dr. Reeves told of the so- cial development work in the area with which he has been connected. The basis of the social development, he stated, lies in Section 22 of the Act which created the Authority. The sec- (Continued on Page 4) Normal Instructor Runs For Congress Prof. J.

Mr. Compton, a member of a fam-' ous English theatrical family, and brother of Fay Compton, London ac- treqs, has been connected with the theatre since he was 18 years old, when he went on the road with an English stock company, playing Trip in "The School for Scandal," which he will direct next week for the Rep- ertory Players. Though he left the stage to enter the English army at the outbreak of the World War.. as soon as peace came, he went back to acting. He has toured three continents in stock com- panies, and has appeared in several New York successes, among them "Serena Blandish," "Lady Deadlock,"' and "Journey's End." He has also played several seasons with Robert Henderson in his dramatic festivals in' Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Milwaukee. Mr. Compton will be especially re- membered by Ann Arbor audiences for his performance as Macduff in Hen- derson's production of "Macbeth" this spring. The lecture will be open to the public. Republicans To Advocate G.O.P. 'Brain Trust' Social Insurance Plank Is' Urged By Col. Roosevelt For FallCampaign CHICAGO, July 10. - (- The Republican party may set up a "brain trust" of its own, Henry P. Fletcher, National Chairman, told young Re- publicans meeting with campaign managers to plan the fall offensive. "I know our program must be pro- gressive," Fletcher said, after Col., Theodore Roosevelt,bhere as head ofI the New York Republican Club, had proposed that the party take a stand for social insurance - old age pen-1 sions and unemployment nemesis." "We can't campaign on negatives," said Fletcher, "but we must workI within the framework of the consti-I tution. I am afraid that the coun- try otherwise might have to pay for security by working only as the gov- ernment directs." Declaring that he would take coun- cil from the national leader to keep Republican policies fresh and alive, Fletcher said: "If what we get is a brain trust, it will be a brain trust." Roosevelt directed a sharp attack at the administration's program, call- ing it "a colossal scheme to reach into the affairs of every man in the com- munity." He foresaw - as a result of a pro- gram "confessedly aimed at the re- juvenation - a country "frozen into classes, under the rule of an oligar- chy."

() - An end to one-man bossism of industry under the Blue Eagle in favor of a commission control, which may mean his own retirement, was foreseen to- day by NRA's chieftain, Hugh S. Johnson. "I have definitely recommended to the President that NRA is not a one- man job when it passes into the field of administration," Johnson told re- porters. "I think that as we move into the period of administration instead of the pioneering work of setting up codes, we need more balance in car- rying out NRA. I do not think there would be any change in its underly- ing principle. "As far as my recommendations are concerned, whatever is done the Gov- ernment must maintain a hand, a veto power. There will be no organi- cation I'll recommend that doesn't in- elude that principle." Proposes Board Or Commission In place of his own single-handed direction, Johnson has proposed to the President a board or commission. It would be non-partisan and John- son thinks might best be compose4, of people experienced in NRA. He paid that his recommendations did not embrace the Federal Trade Com- mission nor the size of the new body. "I'd like to see it set up as soon as there is some coalesce'fice in the di- verse codes, as soon as we get the basic code out (for small industries) and a few other things done," he said. "That could be done in the next month or two." Johnson said the question of a new setup was entirely up to the President and that a commission could be named by executive order. Would Speed Setup At his press conference, Johnson said he would like to see this new ad- ministrative agency, which was de- scribed as.a board or commssion, "set up as soon as there is some coales- cence in diverse codes - as soon as we get the basic code out and a few other things done." "I'll stay as long as the President thinks he needs me," Johnson em- phasized. "I think if we move into a period of administration instead of the pioneer- ing work of setting up codes we'll need more balance in carrying out NRA." Johnson said he foresaw no change and that he was opposed to sugges- in the "underlying principles" of NRA tions that a "council of code authori- ties should run industry." To Go To California Johnson leaves by air tomorrow afternoon to mak a speech on Thurs- day, July 12, at Waterloo, Ia. He will speak at Portland, Ore., on July 15 and then will go to the University of California about July 19 to re- ceive from Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic fraternity. He plans to speak at Los Angeles June 20, take a two-week vacation in the Sierra or Rocky Mountains, speak at Chicago on his return trip, and get back to the capital at about the time President Roosevelt reaches the White House.
