The Armory Probe The arbitrary and high-handed methods used by the Coffin spokesman in the house of representatives to prevent a probe of the building of armories for rent to the state should result in an even more careful scrutiny of the whole enterprise. That one member should be able to nearly defeat the inquiry unanimously demanded by the senate, or should even attempt such a proceeding, suggests that he had a very impelling reason for such actions. The building of armories under a thinly-disguised evasion of the law against incurring state debts had phases that require more light than was given by the cursory examination by the senate committee. Just why any one connected with the enterprise should object to a most thorough inquiry is unexplainable, if the enterprise was conducted with regard for the rights of the taxpayers who are called upon to pay the bills. It is always suspicious when any Coffin lieutenant attempts to prevent an investigation of any public matter. It was Coffin who was largely responsible for the actions of the legislature two years ago in stopping any probe of state affairs. Later a Marion county grand jury took up matters which did not interest the lawmakers and returned numerous indictments. It is almost axiomatic that whenever the Coffin machine attempts to cover up, it has a very good reason for such a course. Attempts on the part of the bank which financed and built the armories and, according to the senate report, made a very sizable profit from its patriotic efforts, to declare that the inquiry is prompted by “pacifists,” will receive less attention because of the character of the defenders of the enterprise. If there was any reason at all to investigate, ands the senate unanimously believed that there was, the necessity of a complete probe now becomes imperative. If there was nothing to hide, Coffin’s men wquld not be on the job to shut off the light. Unemployment Three major domestic problems are to be tackled promptly by the new national administration. Hoover is busy with plans for better law enforcement and is considering personnel for a nonpartisan commission to make a thorough study of prohibition. Arrangements have been completed for a special session of congress, opening the middle of April to make limited tariff adjustments and to provide thelong promised relief for larmers. The new administration cannot solve all the national problems overnight, of course, and it doubtless would be a mistake to attempt too many reforms at the takeoff. Nevertheless, there is one other problem which deserves Hoover’s immediate attention. That is unemployment. How serious the unemployment and part-time employment situation is no one knows. There is the rub. There are no adequate national employment statistics, and no provision for obtaining such data. There is no machinery to handle the permanent excess labor supply in overmanned industries such as coal, or in maladjusted industries such as textiles. There is no provision for taking up the unemployment slack during periods of industrial slump by prescheduled public works. Even in the last five years there has been serious sectional unemployment almost every winter, with bread lines and widespread suffering. Last year Senator Wagner of New York and others in congressional debate estimated that about five million were out r. ! work. If such situation can arise in times of comparative prosperity, what will happen during a depression? Practically everyone is agreed that unemployment solutions, of whatever nature, are effective to the degree that they set up advance machinery for immediate use in an emergency. Since 1921 we have had a series of federal, state and private unemployment commissions, with the usual investigations, reports and recommendations. (j But unfortunately nothing much has come of all that effort. 'Ve are practically where we wereNow comet the senate committee on education and labor with a report on the investigation ordered by the senate a year ago. It makes seven specific recommendations. These include: 1. Private industry should recognize its responsibility for stabilizing employment, and the government should co-operate. 2. Insurance plans should be initiated by private industries, supplemented, if necessary, by states. 3. States and municipalities should perfect efficient unemployment exchanges, and the government should co-ordinate them nationally. 4. The United States employment service should be reorganized. 5. The government should provide an efficient system for collecting unemployment statistics, beginning With the 1930 census. 6. The government, states and municipalities should adopt legislation without delay which would provide a system of planning public works so that they would form a reserve against unemployment in times of depression. 7. Further consideration well might be given to two questions: The effect on unemployment of industrial developments, such as consolidation of capital, and the necessity and advisability of providing —either through private industry, through the states, or through the federal government— a system of oldaf,e pensions. These recommendations do not pretend to offer a complete solution. But they do provide a beginning. They are not new. They follow in the main the general recommendations made by other commissions, including that which Hoover himself headed seven years ago. We hope the President will ask congress to act at the special session, and that he will recommend further the necessary co-operation of states and private industry. Root’s World Court Plan The Root formula for breaking the deadlock between foreign powers and the United States over our adherence to the world court under the fifth senate reservation is nothing to get enthusiastic about, but it deserves sympathetic study. Within two days of publication, this formula has aroused tentative opposition from some court members, especially Latin-Americans, and from some senators In Washington; Though Root is acting nominally In an unofficial capacity, it generally is understood that his

plan has the backing of the Hoover administration and of the Democratic pro-court senate group. Early comment by the American press indicates that in general pro-court papers will support the Root plan, and that anti-court papers will oppose it. Asa consistent advocate of American adherence to the court, this newsaper can not reject the Root compromise, which seems to- it better than nothing. Nevertheless, in our judgment there is no immediate occasion for rushing into the Root solution, until other alternatives have been exhausted. Our lack of enthusiasm for the Root formula is because it would in effect postpone a settlement of the dispute, with the United States assuming what amounts to temporary membership. All denials to the contrary, any future withdrawal by the United States from the court would injure the court’s prestige and increase the world’s suspicions of the United States. It is necesary, of course, as provided in the original senate reservations, that the United States have the right of withdrawal, but it is desirable to minimize the probability of withdrawal by settling the present dispute before adherence. The present dispute Is over the senate reservation which would prevent the court from rendering advisory league opinions, without our consent, on any question in which the United States has or claims to have an interest. As the United States may claim an interest in any question under the sun, that would give us a virtual veto power over all court advisory decisions. The European powers have stated they are willing to grant the United States equal, but not greater rights than league council members, which obviously is a fair proposition. But the confusion arises because Geneva has not decided whether a unanimous vote of the league council is required in asking the court for advisory opinions; or, in other words, whether each council member already has the veto power demanded by the United States. The Root formula provides a method of rapid consultation between Geneva and Washington on specific requests for advisory opinions as they arise, with the idea that in most cases Geneva and Washington could come to an agreement as to whether the specific case should be handed to the court. In case of disagreement, the formula provides for friendly withdrawal of the United States from the court. We regret the clause in the senate reservation demanding veto power, but as realists we must admit there is no prospect of the United States entering the court under any other conditions. If council members already have that veto power, as many experts contend, the dispute automatically thereby is settled. Geneva owes it to the court and to the United States to decide without delay whether council member have that veto power. If they have such power, then there is no further difficulty over American adherence under the senate reservations, and no need whatever for the Root compromise formula and its postponement of an otherwise dangerous issue. A West Virginia woman found a diamond in a can of lard. That wouldn't have been news at all in New York, where big butter and egg men are continually casting at lesat pearls before swine. We read in the paper that William Wrigley was going to support Colonel Stewart, but read no headlines such as “WRIGLEY STICKS TO STEWART.” What with discovery of oil and the laying out of new golf courses, farming has begun to pay a little.

■ i . David Dietz on Science . Light Consists of Waves — No. 299

THE RISE of the wave theory of light is one of the most interesting chapters in the history ot modern physical theories. And the greatest difficulty which the world of science faces today is the apparent conflict between the wave theory of light and the quantum theory. The quantum theory represents a sort of modernized form of Sir Isaac Newton’s theory that

sor of mathematics at the Jesuit college at Bologna. Grimaldi lived from 1618 to 1663. He noticed that when an object such as a knife edge was illuminated by light which came from a small opening, a so-called point source of light, the resulting shadow was bounded by a series of light and dark bands. Grimalid, however, had no adequate explanation of the phenomena. The next serious student of the nature of light was Robert Hooke, who lived from 1636 to 1703. Hooke, a contemporary of Newton’s, was curator of experiments of the Royal Society. Without knowledge of Grimaldi’s work, he rediscovered the same phenomena. He made a number of excellent suggestions about the nature of various phenomena connected with light, but his work was not of a quantitative nature. Newton, as already said, sought to explain light on the basis that it consisted of minute corpuscles. He attempted to explain diffraction phenomena, such as the light and dark bands in the shadow of the knife edge, on the basis of deflection of the light particles by the knife edge, that is. on the basis of some attraction or interaction between objects ai.d light waves. While Newton was busy with experiments, the wave theory of light was launched by a contemporary— Christian Huygens. In 1675 Romer discovered that light possessed a constant apd definite speed. Huygens -et the time was living in Paris. Shortly after Romer’s announcement, Huygens read a paper before the French Academy of Science, in which she showed that the constant speed of light and the phenomena of reflection, refraction and diffraction could all be explained very simply by assuming that light consisted of waves. Descartes and others had already suggested that so-called empty space was really filled with a medium of some sort. This was called the ether. Huygens suggested that light consisted of waves in the ether of space.

TRACY SAYS: “The Art of Revolting in Mexico Is Not What It Used to Be”

EL PASO, Tex., March 9.—Machine guns began to rattle across the river right after 6 o’clock Friday morning. El Paso yawned, rolled over, rubbed its eyes, made sure that the noise was no': produced by trucks running with their cut-outs open and fared forth to enjoy the performance. The newly risen sun revealed a great parade of autos along the scenic drive which skirts the face of Mt. Franklin high above the town and commands an excellent view of Juarez, while the roofs of most tall buildings began to blacken with spectators. More adventurous souls headed for the river, with the idea of getting a safe close-up by hiding behind telephone poles, or bridge girders, or even commandeering box cars, as used to be the custom. Mostly they were halted and turned back by the police. If these scrimmages are to continue, El Paso should build a grand stand at some advantageous point with a bullet-proof glass. * # Victory for Rebels IT was a great spectacle while it lasted, except that no one seemed to get a line of the action, much less the plot, those staging it included. It began with the federals on the inside and rebels on the out, but ended with both armi's in reverse positions. There were mutual surrenders, desertions and switches After four hours of fighting, a truce became necessary to find out who was who if for no better reason. The rebels are said to have numbered about 1,000 and the federals about half as many, with generals accounting for a big part of the enrollment on either side. The net result was a rebel victory since the federals, though still intact and technically undefeated appeared to have little choice, but to surrender, or come over to American territory and be interned for the remainder of the war. nun Rule Against Looting THE battle was preceded by a hurried migration of Juarez bartenders and saloon-keepers. As it progressed, they stood on El Paso street corners, or lounged about the hotel lobbies, discussing the probable outcome and cost. To let the victorious rebel generals tell it, they have little to fear. “We have plenty of cash,” those generals declare. “We pay as we go. There will be no looting.” One can not help wondering where they get the cash, or for that matter, where this whole revolutionary movement got the cash. Quite obviously, someone has put up a lot, stolen a lot, or come by a lot in ways that are dark. Whether there has been any looting, or whether there will be, it seems to be generally understood that the revolution is well financed. nun Standstill at Juarez THE capture of Juarez brings matters to a standstill on this sector for the time being. The rebels are not only in control of the town, but of the principal bftses in back of it. What good this will do them is a different story. The art of revolting in Mexico is not what it used to be. In the old days control of the border or even a few important border ports was almost equivalent to success. In the old days, contact with the United States meant a plentiful supply of arms and ammunition. Mexican leaders can’t seem to get away from tradition. Revolt still means a rush for the border in their eyes. Apparently they do not understand that the United States has adopted anew policy, or that Calles and his predecessors have succeeded in developing a strong centralized organization down yonder, as well as different lines of communication. nun Control of Closed Gate UNDER existing circumstances the border is more likely to prove a death trap than a base of supplies. Control of it means little but a closed gate to the rebels, unless President Hoover can be induced to change his mind. That might be possible if there were anything behind the revolt, except lust for power, and more particularly lust for military power. The United States hates one kind of revolt more than another. It is that which represents military pow’er, and which has military domination as its palpable objecti*’e. When the peoples of Mexico rose under Madero to throw off tyranny this government sympathized with them, much as it may have doubted their chances of permanent success. But when part of the Mexican army mutinies, as is the present case, neither the government nor the people of the United States can have any other feeling, save one of regret awd disgust. Os all the revolutionary movements that have cursed Mexico during the last eighteen years this seems one of the most useless, inexcusable and unpromising. Is the United States self-support-ing in foods and chemicals? The United States is self-support-ing except for the following articles which either are not produced in sufficient quantity or are not produced at all in this country: Coffee, silk, nitrates, potash, rubber, quinine iodine, sisal (hemp), dyestuffs, quicksilver, tanning extracts, tea, jute, antimony, tungsten, nickel and asbestos The United States spends $800,000,000 annually for these articles. What is the chief export and import of the United States? Unmanufactured cotton is the 1 chief export and crude rubber the chief import. - .

light consists of corpuscles or little bullets. It is also of interest to note that a paper published by Professor Albert Einstein in 1905 was one of the biggest factors in the development of the quantum theory. The first hint that light might consist of waves was contained in the work of F. M. Grimaldi, proses-

Mr. HOOVER casts a watchful eye toward Mexico, where the fires of revolution never die out and whqye government is continuous vaudeville, with a change of program every week. A President never knows what he may be up against.

A GREAT NAVAL BATTLE March 9 , SIXTY-SEVEN years ago today the most important naval battle in the world’s history came to an end wtih both ships limping off the scene, neither victorious. It was the battle of the Monitor and Merrimac, the world’s first ironclad warships. The battle, undecisive as its result was, revolutionized the navies of the world, and doomed wooden fighting vessels to Davy Jones’ locker forever. In this lies its greatest importance, but it also had the immediate effect of bolstering up the morale of Union supporters. The Merrimae, built by the south in an effort to break the northern blockade of Hampton Roads, was proving a terror of the seas. No wooden ship could give it a real contest. Soon after, the Union retaliated with the Monitor, designed by John Ericsson, inventor of the screw propeller. When on March 9, 1862, the Monitor proved itself capable of fighting even a stand-off battle with the impregnable Merrimae it relieved the north of much apprehension. After the battle, the conservative London Times said: “The English had 149 first-class warships. We now have two, the Warrior and her sister. Ironside. There is not a ship in the navy, apart from these two that it would aot be madness to trust to an engagement with that littie Monitor.”

The researches made in the Food Research institute of Stanford university conclude that nothing would be gained for the nation’s health or nation’s economy by consumption of wheat as whole wheat bread instead of white bread. According to this report, proteins, minerals, vitamins and roughage are adequately available in other foodstuffs, and need not be sought alone in whole wheat bread. Only in such countries as India and China, where the diefc is little diversified, are nutritional or economic advantages to be secured by consuming whole grains rather than highly milled grains of wheat. Wheat now ranks as one of the cheapest foods. Per capita consumption appears to be increasing in the world at large, but not in the United States or in Great Britain, Canada and Australia.

is the work of a certain small coterie of scheming and unscrupulous politicians. By the passing of the late Senator Beveridge, the people lost a worthy champion of their rights, one who never failed to denounce the efforts of politicians to repeal the primary law. Let us hope that some outstanding and conscientious men will come to the front and espouse the cause of the people at this time. If there is any weakness in the law itself, it is that section which permits a convention to make a choice when no candidate has received a majority of the votes cast in the primary. Action of the last Republican convention in choosing as the nominee* for Governor a candidate who had received approximately the smallest vote in the primary for that office is simply another instance of the trickery of a political convention and to what extremes the politicians will go. Why did they not choose the candidate who had received the largest plurality vote in the primary? Perhaps the politicians can answer the question. As the bill to modify the primary law already has passed the senate, no effort should be spared to defeat it in the house. C. E. P.

IT SEEMS TO ME n n By HEYWOOD BROUN

SCIENCE still is wrestling with the problem of how to study hu- a man behavior. It is hard to get • specimens and make them stay put. White rats are much more convenient. After the experiment has been finished the relatives of the white • rat never come around to sisk what became of him. At the same time, the data obtained from rodents may be extremely limited in scope. With the aid of mazes and electrically--*/ charged causeways it may be pOs-’ sible to prove that the white rat would rather make love than eat. Or possibly it comes out the other way. Still even when this result has been obtained, what can the poor scientist do with it? He does not know whether his great truth about the white rat is equally so in the case of rabbits, bricklayers, archl-’.. tacts, under tbe age of 30, retired. admirals and city editors, * But Dr. G. V, Hamilton has mads,, progress in the right direction. De- t ; siring to know more about marriage, | this psychiatrist invited 100 men. I and* 100 women to help him. They, were all married, although not nec- • essarily to each other. He questioned them and filed them and card indexed them, and built a book ~ upon them. The doctor has tried ever so hard,, to be objective and impersonal and naturally he has not succeeded. Above the white rat line the personality of the investigator always gets mixed up with the figures and’’' prevents the striking of a perfect balance. He is bound to take sides when , he deals directly with his own kind. • Indeed the book is called •‘What Is Wrong With Marriage,” which shows which side Dr. Hamilton is on. tt n a Happily Married? THE psychiatrist was chiefly in-, _ terested in finding out what percentage of American marriages are happy. Now the word “happy”... sits uneasily in any scientific investigation. It can hardly be re-., duced to a formula. Dr. Hamilton admits that there,. would have been small purpose in . asking each of his 200 subjects, “are . you happily married?” “Yes” might mean much or little and the same thing goes for “no.” And so he tried to sneak up oh * them. He had his questions printed on little cards and dealt a hand to every client. In the matter of happiness in marriage he used thirteen questions and then graded his guinea pigs all .the way from meaning ecstasy, down to F for ut- , ter misery. The good doctor takes a child-like pride in one particular query on the' * list which seems to me to represent a good deal less than shrewdness. No. 8 runs, “If by _ some miracle you could press a’, button and find that you never been married to your spouse,’ > would you press that button?” + Certainly there must have been hundreds of moments, or more*' likely thousands, in the life of any married person when he would have* pressed that button. n n n Example JOHN BLAKE is in the laboratory contributing to the advancement of science. “Would you press that button?” says Dr. G. V. Hamilton. Blake, still sore from the brawl at breakfast, replies, “You bet your life I would.” Dr. Hamilton pulls a silver cord and there across the room, in the middle of the whitewashed wall, blinks the magic button. Blake rises to his feet and starts off bravelybut halts and comes back to his chair again. ; “If I press that button,” he wants to know, “will it mean that things j will be just as if there never had ] been any Mrs. Rosabelle Blake?” The doctor nods gravely. “And when I get to the house her shoes won’t be in the closet and her hat in the middle of the bed?" "No.” “And I won’t remember anything about her? Not even about that time when we went to Atlantic City , ten years ago next April?” Tliis time he doesn’t wait for an answer because he knows it. Very slowly John walks toward the white wall and the black button. He seems to be muttering to himself. “So I’m insensitive, am I —and I ; never did love her. Yeah, I’ll show her whether I love her or not.” “How about putting on your lit-y tie hat, grandma, and coming down to Barney’s?” n n a Strange Behavior THIS last remark puzzles the sc!-* enlist somewhat. He assumes that John Blake, known in the case ; records as BX-98J. is maundering to himself about some ancient ex.j oedition to a night club. Moreover, - he assumes that grandma was a petname used by John for Rosabelle. And suddenly he presses the button. It makes a buzz just like the one he used to know the year that ;he and Rosabelle lived in the Wakeup - ’ over on Lexington avenue.That was th p year they had the flu together. Quickly, John presses the button twice more, which means ice, returns to his chair and mops his brow. 4V* “I beg your pardon. Doc, for send-. ing for some ice, but I thought that maybe I ought to have a drink ofthat medical rye of yours before I ••'* that one little ring. “There’s no point in being too much of a hurry about this.
