Tariff Logic Several senator# contemplate voting for the bllliondollar tariff bill even though they know it will be disastrous for the country. That sounds impossible, but it is true. And this contradictory position is being assumed by some senators who have been sincere and conscientious legislators. The explanation, from their point of view, is not as far-letched as it appears to the public. Their argument, briefly, is this: We think the present tariff law is high enough. Under it the country in general and manufacturing industries in particular achieved for eight years an unprecedented plane of prosperity. Therefore we would like to let well enough alone. But the Grundy-Smoot crowd did not agree; they set out—in defiance of all campaign pledges—to grab all they could get in a higher-than-high protectionist bill. Faced with this situation we were forced in duty to our own constituents to seek higher rates for industries of our states. Having done so, we now can not vote against the bill consistently. Up to a certain point it is not difficult to follow their argument. Their constituents will not blame them for trying to help local industries when industries of other states were snatching higher rates. But what has that to do with casting a final vote for a bill which will injure the country at large and every individual state? By the compromise of grabbing with the Grundy-Smoot crowd, these senators have assured that their states will receive minor compensation if the worst comes to worst and the prosperity-killing bill passes. Certainly that leaves them in a position now to vote against the bill as a whole, for the very good reason that their states, though gaining a little, would lose much more if the bill became law. Par from being inconsistent, that is the only consistent thing to do. What they have done, in effect, is to take out a little insurance in a time of danger. The next step, if they are intelligent men. is not to commit suicide for their state to collect inadequate insurance. The only sensible thing to do now is to try to remove the danger altogether by voting against the menacing bill. A Diplomat for Geneva Appointment of Prentiss B. Gilbert as American consul at Geneva to handle affairs relating to the League of Nations is significant. Gilbert is one of the outstanding men in our professional diplomatic service. He has a brilliant record at the state department and in foreign conferences. Following his service as chief in the military intelligence division, he acted for four years as chief of the division of political and economic intelligence of the state department. Since then he has been assistant and acting chief of the western European division. President Hoover has made more political appointments to major foreign posts than any President since Taft. This has lowered the morale of the professional service and has weakened American representation abroad. Recently the President replaced a professional diplomat in the difficult Ottawa post with a second-rate politician. Gilbert's appointment encourages the foreign service officers to hope that Hoover has not entirely forgotten their prior claim and their superior equipment for such posts. Moreover, in raising the status of the American contact official with the League of Nations from viceconsul to consul and diplomatic secretary, Washington is beginning to take a realistic position. It is not a question of “slipping the United States into the league through the back door.” That could not be done, and no responsible Washington official wants to do it. But there is a great deal of absolutely necessary contact between Washington and the league. Last year we participated in many different league conferences and commmissions, chiefly on technical or humanitarian subjects. Efficiency requires that this increasingly important work be in charge of an able and experienced professional diplomatic officer. Gilbert is one. A Union That Wins At a time when many labor unions are languishing or dropping back, the Amalgamated Clothing Workers successfully organizes the Philadelphia field and plans to organize the Baltimore field; prepares to clinch the present forty-four-hour week and to ask for the forty-hour week when present agreements expire. Why is this union so unusually successful? BECAUSE IT IS MORE MILITANT FOR THE BIGHTS OF THE WORKERS THAN THE AVERAGE UNION and at the same time is more intelligently and earnestly interested in the business success of the employers. To reconcile union militancy and business prosperit- is a job which takes a big man. The Amalgamated has such a man in its farsighted president, Sidney Hillman. Don’t Blame MacDonald Ramsay MacDonald has been subjected to some pretty heavy lambasting in the last few weeks. A pacifist in his personal philosophy, he has been denounced for acquiescing in the disarmament fiasco at London. It is said that he should have insisted on cutting down all navies. Failing in this, he should have condemned the supporters of armaments in no uncertain terms. Even more bitter has been the criticism leveled against him for permitting the jailing ot Gandhi. A. J. Muste. chairman of the Conference for Progressive Labor Action, has this to say about MacDonald: “For Ramsay MacDonald, who a dozen years ago was hunted by mobs through British cities for his opposition to war now to throw a great fellow-pacifist into jail, and to countenance violent measures for breaking up a campaign of non-violence, marks the breakdown o* an outstanding personality and leaves his friends ;'owerless to say a word in his defense.” Such criticism is unfair when directed against MacDonald, the British prime minister. It shows a misunderstandii g of the way in which foreign affairs are conducted in England. The premier is far from absolute in British foreign policy. Active control is delegated to the foreign minister. But in actual practice the foreign secretary is guided, if not controlled, by the permanent bureaucracy of the foreign office and the diplomatic sendee. Cabinets and ministers frequently change. Foreign affairs must be carried on with continuity. As Robert Nightingale says in an authoritative article in . The Realist: “Just as parliament has delegated foreign affairs to the cabinet, and the cabinet to the foreign secretary, so the foreign secretary is compelled by the pressure of business to delegate an increasing proportion of his authority to his chief permanent officials,

Personal administration on any considerable scale Is impossible.” Ramsay MacDonald as an individual doubtless would like to see every battleship and cruiser in the world at the bottom of the ocean. Ramsay MacDonald, the British premier, could not hold office for a day if he repudiated the traditional British dogma of Britain’s dependence upon sea-power. No doubt Ramsay MacDonald, the internationalist, has a warm personal sympathy with Gandhi. But as prime minister he can not openly sanction serious threats at India, the pivot of the British empire. His bureaucracy sees to that. Indeed, Ramsay MacDonald could not safely go so far as to use his discretion 'n appointing an ambassador to a major foreign country. He must follow the advice of the diplomatic service and pick a member of the bureaucracy o: somebody with experience in this field. It was suggested that he appoint Gilbert Murray as ambassador to the United States. Probably he wanted to do so, but he could not defy precedent or the guidance of the bureaucracy in the diplomatic service. For Ramsay MacDonald, the pacifist, to approve disarmament upward; for Ramsay MacDonald, the anti-imperialist, to jail Gandhi, indeed would be scandalous, if such acts could be held to represent his personal choice and decision. For Ramsay MacDonald, the British prime minister, to do these things is only to indicate that he honors the political traditions and administrative procedure of his country. They show that he has a realistic sense of the necessity of holding office if he desires to use the labor party as a force for progress in England and the world. Over the President’s Veto (From the St. Louis Star.) President Hoover’s veto of the Spanish w r ar veterans’ pension bill was based on details which could have been and should have been remedied by brief remodeling. Mr. Hoover had agreed to a tentative compromise. Yet both house and senate passed the bill over his veto. Why? Apparently the repassing of the bill was intended to express congressional opinion of the leadership Mr. Hoover has offered during the last year. It was a notification by two-thirds majority that senators and congressmen will pay even less attention to the White House in the future than in the past. If Mr. Hoover wants to regain control of the situation there is only one possible way for him to do it. That is by a veto of the tariff bill. He would J to find Ills position amazingly altered if he gathered up nerve enough to follow his inner convictions regarding the Smoot-Hawley bill. The statistician who said that the average American takes 18,908 steps a day must have found it beyond him to compute the number of jumps the average pedestrian takes. Fanners near Ft. Salisbury, Del., asked the commandant there to stop gunfiring to protect their turkey eggs from cracking. As if the soldiers didn’t have shells of their own to worry about. A violinist of some prominence dressed as a beggar played an expensive Stradivarius in a Chicago street the other day, but attracted no attention. Probably because he looked so natural at shoulder alms. There are fifty-five red-headed waitresses in New York’s newest restaurant. And you’ll agree that’s quite a shock. Now that the “first sewing machine” has been sent to a Paris museum, you may expect Mussolini to express alarm over the fact that France has taken a stitch in time. Now that a group of congressmen have engaged in a horseshoe pitching tournament, you may expect they will be called before a naive senate investigating committee to explain all about those “ringers.” While you might think congressmen might get enough exercise from log rolling, they no doubt feel there is more at stake in horseshoe pitching. Owen J. Roberts, newly appointed supreme court justice, recently was awarded an honorary degree. Well, Judge Parker, who was rejected for the office, was given a third degree, you recall.

REASON

WHENEVER a Fresident speaks at Gettysburg, as Mr. Hoover did on Memorial day, he must be oppressed by the thought that there Abraham Lincoln delivered an address that no other has approached. a a a On that famous day Everett was the' chief speaker and he roamed through the classics for two hours, while Lincoln spoke for only two minutes, yet nobody remembers what Everett said, but Lincoln’s words are immortal. a a a This should admonish all speakers to provide themselves Vith terminal facilities, since many run in and out and all around the depot before stopping. a a a BREVITY is the product of recent years, our ancestors having been bombarded without mercy. In fact, they felt themselves cheated unless a speaker went on for hours, mopping his brow with an enormous handkerchief and consuming gallons of water. a a a Originally political rallies were all-day affairs, people bringing their dinners and listening for seven or eight hours, but the Lincoln-Douglas debates were more merciful, they usually consuming but three hours, one hour and a half on a side. a a a Those in their fifties painfully recall the long sermons of their childhood when a doctor would have been summoned for the preacher who did not speak for an hour and a half, and on warm summer mornings that seemed six weeks. a a a AND juries in former were objects of pity, as lawyers in turn would speak for two days, not so much to convince rhe jury as to hypnotize the audience for in those days the entire population attended court and all of the lawyers were candidates for office. a a a But even in this day a time killer appears now and then to arouse the homicidai impulse in those who hear him. this oratorical fellow being most frequently committed at banquets, the culprits going on and on, regardless of universal yawning. a a a The late President Taft once spoke for two hours at a banquet, belaboring th. helpless with tons of statistics, while whole sections arose and departed and the other speakers were forced to return home with their speeches still inside of them. ■.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ Saturn Shines Now With Warm, Yellowish Light; Venus and Jupiter Are White, Mars Is Red. IN the twilight these evenings, Jupiter and Venus shine with brilliant white color. Jupiter is low in the western sky and sinks below the horizon soon after the sun, Venus is higher in the western sky and so keeps the earth company for another hour or so after Jupiter has disappeared. Then the sky is left without planets until midnight, when Saturn rises majestically over the eastern horizon. Slowly the planet ascends the eastern sky, its brilliance increasing, until at about 3 a. m. it is directly over-head. By that time, ruddy Mars also has appeared upon the eastern horizon and begun its climb into the sky. And so Saturn and Mars hold sway until the rising sun dims their light and the light of the stars. Saturn shines with a warm, yellowish light, contrasting with the white of Venus and Jupiter and the red of Mars. The ancients regarded the yellowish color of Saturn with a suspicious eye, feeling that the planet exercised a baneful influence upon the affairs of men. Today, astronomers regard Saturn as an object of great interest because of its marvelous system of rings. tt tt tt Galileo A PAIR of prism binoculars will reveal that there is something unusual about Saturn. They will show Saturn in approximately the way Galileo saw it when he built his little telescope and turned it upon the heavens for the first time in 1610. Galileo could not make out the rings. It looked to him as though the planet had a triple body, consisting of a large planet with a smaller one upon either side. But to Galileo’s great surprise the appendages grew smaller and smaller during the next few years and finally disappeared entirely frem view. Later, the appendages returned to view, but continued to perplex Galileo and others, for no instrument of the day was powerful enough to reveal the true situation. It was not until 1655 that Huyghens succeeded in making out the true nature of the rings. Beset by the desire to obtain credit for his discovery, and yet not being sure of it, he published his discovery in the form of an anagram, or word puzzle, revealing the nature of the anagram later. The reason the rings had disappeared from view was that, due to the motion of the planet, Saturn got into a position where the rings were presented edgewise to the earth. At such times, due to the extreme thinness of the rings, they disappeared completely from view. This is true, even today, in the most powerful telescope. tt tt tt Resemblance EXCEPT for the rings, Saturn resembles Jupiter in many ways. Jupiter, it will be recalled, is the big brother of the solar system, having a diameter of 86,720 miles. Saturn is the next in size, having an average diameter of 71,500 miles. Saturn is even more flattened at the poles than is Jupiter. The equatorial diameter of Saturn is 75,000 miles, while the polar diameter is only 67,000. Like Jupiter, Saturn is marked with a number of belts or bands parallel to the equator. These are believed to be clouds. As in the case of Jupiter, bright spots occur occasionally on the planet and then disappear from view again. Saturn is believed to rotate upon its axis once in ten hours and thir-ty-six minutes. Study of the rings of Saturn convinces astronomers that they are composed of millions of small chunks of rock, revolving around the planet and adhering to the ringshaped formation. The rings are three in number. The innermost one is of a dusky color and is known as the crepe ring. The crepe ring is about 11,000 miles wide, the central ring 16,000 and the outer ring 10,000. The diameter of the outer ring, that is the distance from one edge of the outer ring through the center of the planet to the opposite edge, is 170,000 miles. In addition to the rings, Saturn has nine moons. The planet is 885,900,000 miles from the sun and completes one revolution about the sun in 29 years.

— DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Right Posture May Avert Rheumatism

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. ANYONE with a pain, ache, or trouble anywhere in his bones, muscles, or joints is likely to say that he has rheumatism. Arthritis is the scientific word for a pain in a joint. It may, of course, be rheumatism involving muscles and not localized in the joints. Dr. Ralph Pimberton has described in Hygeia two types of arthritis—one affecting people particularly at and below mid-life, which runs a crippling and devastating course; the other affecting people beyond middle life and likely to be a little milder. While rheumatic constitutions are not inherited, apparently the body structure or makeup which is rheumatic runs in families. Pemberton describes the rheumatic type as people with flat chests, weak backs and prominent abdomens who do not stand the strain and stress in-

IT SEEMS TO ME

CHARLIE CHAPLIN had been the idol of the masses for six or seven years before he was discovered by the intellectuals. Little journals of opinion acted as if they were possessed of extraordinary acumen in detecting the artistry of this man who was, after all, a motion picture actor. Little journals generally are amazed to find that merit can actually exist in anything which commands wide popularity. Critics gravely distrust all books which sell above a hundred thousand or plays which run more than six months. Marc Connoly is beginning to feel this heavy hand of second thought in regard to his play, “The Green Pastures.” Nothing in twenty years began with such a hearty welcome from both newspaper and periodical reviewers. But once the Pulitzer prize had been bestowed and the ticket speculator began to demand heavy advances for orchestra seats, the rumor grew up among the intellectuals that there must be something wrong in the enertainment. For the most part this carping has taken the form of a naive notion that Mr. Connoly made a play by the simple process of pasting up a certain number of lines from Roark Bradford’s book, “Old Man Adam and His Chillun.” It seems to me extraordinary that there should be so much turmoil about the division of credit. Surely if Mr. Bradford has been slighted in the venture he well might be expected to make the complaint. Since nothing has come from that quarter, it seems fair to assume that his interests have been in no way slighted. a a a Discovering Others BUT this is a digression from my chief curiosity. I am wondering how long it will take the intellectuals to discover Amos and Andy. The boys, to be sure, are not precisely obscure at the moment, but I have yet to see their existence noted or their worth evaluated by any of the serious thinkers. And decidedly the highbrow publications can not forever neglect these entertainers, for here before the esthetes anew art form is being created in America. And it seems to me that this is a form deserving of a future. Amos and Andy are collaborating in what

cidental to fatigue, worry or hard work. If the child tends to be of this body structure, the parents may do much for it by early education in posture and by proper control of, its general hygiene and diet. The information has been widely circulated for many years that the chief cause of a rheumatic attack is infection at the roots of the teeth or the tonsils. Not all people who have infection at the roots of the teeth or in the tonsils have rheumatism, but many people who have rheumatism have infection at the roots of the teeth and in the tonsils. Obviously there are other factors besides the possibility of the germ getting into the blood and locating in the joints, If such a person’s diet is bad, if his general hygiene is bad, if he is of a body type that tends toward rheumatic infection, the germ is more likely to set up a disturbance than in a person not so afflicted. Doctor Pemberton emphasizes particularly the importance of rest for the rheumatic type.

! might well be called the first radio novel. The fact that it enthralls a nightly audience of many million is not necessarily against it. Indeed, I think it shows that the new art form has potency at least in its favor. Whether it can also be made to include subtlety, beauty, and emotion remains to be seen. I speak as one who takes great delight in the work of Amos and Andy. The material seems to me excellent and the performance admirable. Not, you understand, would I contend that the dramatic material presented over the air is actually a searching study of Negro life and character. It is farced a whole scale above reality. Yet, there is undoubted contact with the world in which we live. Out of the vast audience there are many who accept the various characters as living, breathing persons. Only the other day I was startled when a young woman of a high degree of intelligence remarked: “Wasn’t it a pity that the S O S had to come last night?” And when I asked her “why?” she said with all seriousness, “it was the evening that Ruby Taylor was coming to town.” It is well to make the point that Amos and Andy are not putting on one of those fearful things called a radio play. Only an audacious critic would be bold enough to say that drama never may be done effectively over the air, but I am willing to commit myself to the statement that it has not been done as ye' At least not on the night when I was listening. a a tt A ‘Comic Strip’ Amos and Andy are offering to their public a continued story. If you don’t like the phrase “radio novel” it might be described as a “radio comic strip.” But this is dodging the question, fer many commentators already have noted the fact that the newspaper comic strip is departing rapidly from its old manner. The old-style structure of a brief conversation, a quip, a blow and “pow” has all but gone. Today the more popular strips have heroes and heroines.

Indeed, because of the fatigue which is so commonly manifested by these people, he insists there should be periods of rest twice a day, one in the middle of the morning and one in the middle of the afternoon, of about one and a half hours each, during which time the patient should lie nearly fiat and during which he should rest completely. Among certain forms of treatment which have particular value for the rheumatic are massage, the application of heat and the use of sunlight. Massage can be given properly only by a trained masseur. Light rubbing can be carried out by any one, particularly if some instruction is had from a masseur. The physician or the trained masseur knows enough to avoid motion to inflame joints. Dr. Pemberton mentions particularly the value of heat applied to the painful portions and light massage to the points of the body thereafter.

tnem are not in the least “comic” nor so intended. And my admiration for Amos and Andy is much whetted by the fact that their humor has almost no relations to “gas.” Save for a rather heavy indebtedness to the fun of dispronunciation the laughter arises naturally out of character and situation. I am wondering what may come out of this. It may be that in another ten or twenty years even one dollar books will be much too expensive.

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

The Huge Number of Volstead Arrests Stand for Jurl So Much Money and Time Wasted. TT'NGLAND may be hard up, but the derby brings out its usual 500.000. India may be boiling with zeal for independence and opposition to British rule, but Aga Khan, millionaire leader of the Mohammedans, enters a horse in the race and is cheered when he wins. Bishop Cannon may have raised a great issue in refusing to tell the senate committee about his antiSmith campaign, but not such a great issue as to bring out a quorum on the second day. Freylinghuysen, Republican candidate for senatorial nomination in Jersey, may be honest in demanding that Dwight W. Morrow, one of his two opponents, meet all issues, but most people will take it to mean that he doesn’t want to talk prohibition. a tt a Waste of Money SPEAKING of prohibition, federal dry agents have made 21,000 arrests since the beginning of the year, and - have captured 7,600 stills and distilleries. In April alone, 5,912 persons were arrested and 2,075 stills and distilleries were seized, not to mention 376,000 gallons of malt liquor, 115,000 gallons of distilled spirits, and 770 automobiles. Such figures would be vastly more impressive if any one with a real thirst had experienced difficulty in satisfying it. Since no one has made such a report, the figures stand for about so much useless waste of time and money. a a Violations Count IT is a false theory that law enforcement can be measured by the number of arrests. What really counts is the number of violations. Violations can become so common as to make a law inoperative, no matter how many arrests are made. There are few states without blue laws violated every Sunday, if not every day in the week. Ordinary intelligence suggests that they ought to be repealed, but instead we let them die by process of nullification. It looks as though that were what we are going to do with the eighteenth amendment and Volstead act. The method is easy and effective especially fdr politicians, but it its risks. Some of those risks are revealed in the rise of the gang spirit and the spread of corruption. Something to Fear THERE is little danger as long as nullification is brought abou| by apathetic majorities, but when organized minorities get to work, look out! That is one of the problems we face in this country and it is not one of the least important. While prohibition has done a great deal to aggravate it, it originated in the slothful custom of piling up mountains of new laws without repealing those that had become obsolete. Bootlegging may have taught the criminal fraternity how to get together and how to obtain the money, but back of that was the slovenly extravagance with which we have permitted laws to accumulate. tt tt tt Law Not Enforced THINGS have come to a point where judges, district attorneys, and peace officers haven’t time enough to read the law, much less to enforce it. Scarcely a day goes by but what some responsible official or learned attorney is found to have forgotten something. Isidor Gottlieb, a Sing Sing convict, studies law during his first eighteen months of confinement, discovers that the court has made a mistake, appeals for a rehearing, and gets a 20 per cent reduction in his sentence. The average criminal has learned to do his studying beforehand or hire a lawyer to do it for him. and organization makes the program effective.
