The Board Nobody Knows The country's great farm relief experiment la In full operation. The last 100 million of the half billion dollars authorized by congress for thla effort la appropriated. Being about to spend 500 million dollars, the question is: What has this powerful agency—the federal farm board—accomplished? No one knows for sure, and that Is exactly the point. Leaving out of consideration, for the moment, the question of the real benefits of the farm board—and this newspaper believes it has been ineffectual—the fact remains that it has fostered, financed and consolidated an Immensely powerful force in this country. The country thinks of the board in terms of the cotton and grain speculation it lias engaged in. But, back of this lies the chief objective of the board—the encouragement of co-operative marketing of our farm products. In this respect the experiment Is truly an excellent one. The board has given the co-operative movement new life. And, having done this, the next question is: Toward what objective will this force be exerted? Will it collapee when federal funds are withdrawn? Also, In organizing these farm producers, has the government discriminated against the middleman, the brokers? Or against us, the consumers? No one knows for sure; and, again, that’s the point. We know the board's efforts to stabilize grain prices have been ineffectual. We. know it holds millions of bushels of wheat which must, at some future date, be disposed of, probably at a loss. We know that the board’s agencies hold 1,300,000 bales of cotton that eventually must be disposed of, probably at a loss to the government and, who knov s, at a loss to the Industry? Cotton men have asked congress to investigate the economic effects of the federal agricultural marketing act. TTie petition was offered at an inopportune time, but it should be granted. When the drought distress Is past, when other Issues of the moment have been settled or shelved, there'll still be the farmer. The country has been experimenting to help agriculture, and It must know whether the experiment should be continued, amended, or ended. Some Questions on the Market Crash All of us have been reading the papers ever since the big crash in the New York stock market in October, 1929. All of us know that hundreds of thousands of people lost hundreds of millions of dollars. Suckers all over the country had been gambling on margin. They had been making money on a rising market. It looked easy. Looked as If that sort of thing could go on forever—that the market would keep on going up. Mighty few of the amateur gamblers knew anything about the real value of the stocks they were buying—on margin. Market reports didn’t give book value. Suckers didn’t take time to look into earnings. Stocks kept going up—that was enough. And suckers thought they were wise birds. They bought more automobiles, more jewels for the wife—and anything else she thought she wanted. Then came the smash. More margins were called for by brokers. More money had to be raised by suckers. So they pawned the wife’s jewels, sold automobiles, mortgaged the home and one thing or another. But stocks kept going down. More money was borrowed. More stocks laid by for the proverbial rainy day went into the banks as collateral. Wealth disappeared. Chauffeurs were fired. Imaginary riches vanished into thin air. Millions of suckers were trimmed to their financial underwear. There was more economy, less spending, less buying, less selling. less Hoover prosperity. But there Is no news in all that. Everybody is reading the papers now and looking for an upturn in business and a return of prosperity—and also reading about breadlines, soup kitchens, unemployment, and one thing or another. In the meantime, there is plenty of money. The banks are full of It—that Is, most of the banks. Many of the speculative banks lmve gone bust. With millions of savings on deposit, the savers are urged to buy—to buy until it hurts. That talk falls on deaf ears with some who are afraid to spend their savings lest they lose their jobs and may need the money to buy food and pay rent. All the time there Is a drag on every man who has a job and a surplus. Everybody who thinks he has a claim on him hollers for help. Some of his family is among the unemployed. In the meantime, there is just as much money as there was before the smash. Every dollar that some sdeker lost went into the pocket of somebody who won. Where millions lost, hundreds gained. One question that suggests itself is this—where did the hundreds of millions lost In the stock market go? Who got it? What is it doing now? How are we going to get it back into circulation? Another thing—the wages of millions have been stopped. How many salaried officials of the companies that laid off their help are still drawing down tire same old salary? How many of them are among the unemployed? What share of the cost of keeping the unemployed alive is being paid by the fellows still on the pay roll? And finally, what became of all those millions lost on the stock market? Who got it? And what's the matter with the United States? Hoover’s Lincoln Listening to the President's radio address Thursday night, we gathered that Lincoln was an early edition of Hoover. We learned-that there was a close similarity between Hobver policies and what the policies of Lincoln would be, were he living today. Lincoln would be pleased with the status of the Negro today, we were told. We had supposed that Lincoln would be grieved by the nullification of the Negro’s political, legal and economic rights. Lincoln was a great party man, we were told. We had supposed that his indifference to party regularity drove him to form anew party. As to the Republican party, we were rather surprised to hear Hoover say that Lincoln’s "tradition has dominated it to this day” It never had occurred to us to link the name of the liberator to the methods of Hoover's party managers, Huston and Lucas. "You'will find,” said Hoover, "Lincoln addressing the country in strong and urgent support of the protective tariff.” We are still trying to figure out any connection between Lincoln’s desire to protect the infant industries of 1860 and Hoover's recent tariff subsidies to the giant no-longer-infant industries which dominate the nation. | To the 7,000,000 unemployed and equal timber of

part-time employed, Hoover gave the solace that his government has avoided ‘“he opiates of government charity and the stifling o cur national spirit of mutual self-help.” He adde i that this was “Lincoln’s way.” We had supposed that Mncoln’s way would be to feed the hungry. But after all, what we wink or what Hoover thinks Lincoln might have don-; In 1931 5 a rather futile guessing game, best left to Republican politicians accustomed to using a greet name for their own purposes. Federal 44-Hour Week Congress has recognized the need for a shorter working week In passing the Kendall bill, now before the President for signature. Employes of the postoffice department in first and second-class offices and the railway mail service V/tJ' have a forty-four-hour week in place of their present eight-hour day and forty-eight-hour week. About 150,000 persons are affected. It was the first time in eighteen years that congress has legislated on the working conditions of the postal workers. Meantime, their efficiency—on the basis of revenue collected—had increased a hundred per cent. Reduction of hours will give employment to 10,000 postal substitutes throughout the country. Official government recognition of the need for spreading jobs among workers should hasten the movement for a shorter day. America has more workers than jobs and the creation of more jobs is essential. There are probably 700,000 government employes throughout the country. Putting all of them on a shorter work basis inevitably would have a great Influence on private employers. A Poor Start When the farm bloc joined the manufacturers in the Smcot-Hawley parade, the farmers were warned that they were courting disaster. California, particularly, was warned that her big exports of fruits, vegetables and other specialties depended upon a friendly foreign market. The Californians, however, helped to pile higher the bricks on the tariff wall, thinking that this made them secure. Nov; for the aftermath. Argentina watched the higher Smoot-Hawley rates on alfalfa seed, corn, beef products and casein and realized they were aimed at her trade. The other day Argentina came back. She voted a 25 per cent import duty on the delivered value of fresh fruit, vegetables and fish imported under refrigeration. California was dealt a bitter blow. Recently California staged a praiseworthy PanAmerican reciprocal trade conference. Latin and Nordic orators swore to eliminate trade barriers between the Americas, stretched hands across the Rio, embraced each other as amigos. The little tariff war between California and Argentina looks like a poor start. “Modish Miss to Don Trousers In Style Revival.” Headline.

REASON i

Tj'VERY time we see Senator Caraway’s name in tne paper, and it’s been there a lot lately, we wonder whether he might be the author of the wellknown Caraway seed. a a a We’ve never been able to get the point of view of a man like Caraway, who challenges somebody to repeat a slur upon his character. When the fellow calls you a “liar” once, that ought to be sufficient, if you really intend to do anything about it. b b a If Caraway is interested in those poor people down In Arkansas he will take himself out of the debate from now on, or the rest of the country will be so fed up on Caraway it couldn’t possibly imagine anybody else being hungry'. a a a BUT we haven’t been able to visualize Caraway as a man-eater since he cross-examined Grundy in that investigation some months ago. We distinctly recalled that he went after Grundy hammer and tongs, whereupon Grundy prepared for action and Caraway backed up. a a a There used to be at least one statesman in each branch of congress who thought it was up to him to demonstrate that the south was the peculiar incubator for hot babies,, who wore their honor conspicuously displayed and were zealous to vindicate it, Sah! a a a One of the hottest of these was our old friend, Champ Clark, a big-hearted fellow, but whose heating plant was big enough for an auditorium. Every once in a while he became engaged in an affair of honor with a congressional brother. a a a IN one of these affairs the house of representatives narrowly escaped being the scene of a killing, with Clark holding the calla lily. He and Representative Brumm of Pennsylvania were engaged in a comparative estimate of the political wickedness of their respective states. a a a Finally Champ felt that he could make his point plain by the use of hardware, and, knife in hand, started for Brumm, who manifested complete indifference to Clark’s advance, which was stopped bygentlemen who wished to avoid gory combat. a a a Then it was seen that Brumm had a gun and intended to fire a broadside whenever the proximity of his colleague convinced him that it was the proper thing unal all the circumstances. f

The World’s Greatest Handicap Today Is That So Many of Its People Are Unable to Talk to One Another. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13—Listened to the pope’s broadcast while taking breakfast in a Santa Barbara coffee shop. Dishes clattered, the irreverent gossiped and waitresses called their orders much as usual, j It was not only a v;eird compoundj of the sublime and ridiculous, but j extremely suggestive. There are ‘ two sides to the proposition. In one sense, control of the mike implies unlimited power. In another, it implies utter futility. The fact that a bit of neighborhood scandal generally is sufficient for any living room crowd to "turn her off” has its significance. an tt Our Greatest Handicap . FROM noon editions, we learned what the pope had said. If a majority of his auditors didn’t find out the same way, they still are ignorant. In spite of all the educating, comparatively few people can understand any language but their own. International broadcasting will not get very far until that condition is corrected. Neither will anything else which depends on international understanding. The present-day world suffers no greater handicap than tire simple fact that so many of its people are unable to talk with one another. No one can travel across this country without realizing how much a common language means to peace and progress. Chicago Not So Bad S'OME people, especially on the ) outside, doubt whether we have so much peace and progress here in America. That’s because we talk so freely about our troubles. v The United States has a rather bad reputation abroad for precisely the same reason that Chicago has a rather bad reputation at home. It is the American habit to tell it all. It is the human habit to remember oniy the rough stuff. Whether through zeal for reform, or a desire to be first in everything, i no matter how raw, Chicago has more than lived up to the American habit of frankness regarding rough stuff, and other cities have been oniy too glad to let her run away with the show because of the favorable light in which it left them by comparison. Well, we’ve all been living in a fool's paradise, Chicago included. She is not the wickedest town in this country. She is not even a good second. Such nice, respectable places as Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Los Angeles all outrank her when it comes to being bad enough for the police blotter. In fact, Chicago makes only sixtyseventh place in the lawlessness free for all. tt tt tt Things Are Looking Up SOME folks are going to And themselves just as badly mistaken about the United States as they were about Chicago when the depression report is completed. . j For more than a year now, Europeans have been pitying us, largely because of the comfort it afforded them. Russians particularly have professed to see the dawn of world revolution in our sorry plight and, perhaps, have backed the thought with a little cash. Another disappointment for those who read only what they like, or what serves their wishes. Notwithstanding all the delays and blunders, we are coming out of 1 the mire. You can see unmis-! takable signs of it everywhere.} Stocks may go down again, but not] to stay, because the business they] represent is beginning to mend. f It is beginning to mend because about every principal market has been drained, because we have lived off the shelf as long as we can. We’ve Hit Bottom I HAVE no word of encouragement for speculators, but for the straightforward investor, my advice is, “go ahead.” We have touched bottom as far as domestic trade is concerned. Foreign trade will continue off In many lines, but this will be compensated for by the unusually large program of public work about to be launched, as well as the necessity of refilling drained markets at home. When spring breaks, this depression will break. Next summer will find most of us busy and some of us overworked. There still will be a disagreeable amount of unemployment, however, because of necessary readjustments. Some lines of business are definitely on the down grade because of Innovation and improvement. That means the continued dismissal of workers who will have to be placed elsewhere. And readjustment is called for on the farm, as well as in the factory. Some of our crops must be curtailed. because some of the markets are slipping, for one reason or another. But the tide has turned.

Nation Late in Learning Child’s Needs

This is the first of four articles by Dr. FSshbein on child welfare problems. BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia. the Health Magazine. WHEN Theodore Roosevelt called the first conference on child welfare in 1909, the scientific evidence based on accurate study and experimentation that formed the background for the Child Welfare conference of 1930, called by President Hoover, was not available. Even at the beginning of the twentieth century, the attitude of mankind toward the child still was uncivilized. Economists yet had not calculated the value of the child to the community in terms of dollars and cents. The sociologists had not yet emphasized the relationship of child training to crime and delinquency. The psychologists had not determined that the nature and charac-

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor Times—ln The Indianapolis Times of Jan. 9 appeared a story of alleged brutality of city detectives in obtaining the confession of one George Mears, accused of wounding two policemen on the night of Jan. 8, All detectives know that confessions obtained by duress, fear of physical violence, or by promises of favors are invalid. What detective, knowing this, would ruin his case by such methods? What could be gained by beating an innocent man into confessing a crime and in so doing, relieve the real criminal of all such suspicion? In the first place, the detectives are anxious to apprehend the guilty man. Second, they went to obtain conviction, and no one knows better than they do that third-degree methods will defeat their purpose. These detectives are also human, rhey have sons and daughters of their own. They have just as much human sympathy, kindness, and compassion in their natures as is allotted to mankind in general. The desire for decency and fair play is just as prominent a characteristic in the detective as in any other class of men. They would And no more pleasure in beating a helpless prisoner than would the editor of The Times, or Mr. Average Citizen. if is a common practice of attor- j neys and criminals to attempt to discredit a confession, which, if admitted in evidence, is a formidable weapon for the state. In attempting to reupdiate a confession, they grab every suggestion of duress, intimidation, or undue influence as a drowning man grasps a straw. An attorney’s diligence and zeal in behalf of his client often leads him to frame the most ludicrous and fantastic of tales. His purpose is obvious. He is bidding for public sympathy. He is preparing his case in advance for the jury’s consideration. A newspaper article, such as The Times printed, is a signal triumph ! for the cause of the attorney or : defendant. The detective usually is j the center of these plots and he soon learns to listen to these tir- ! ades with good-natured tolerance, j The attorney is endeavoring to carve his own niche in the hall of | fame. He must win cases to be successful. These tricks often are resorted to. The defendant can be excused for his false statements in his own defence. Self-defense is the first#law of nature. We all would do the same under those conditions. However, the newspaper reporters detailed at police headquarters know that the brutal third degree in the Indianapolis detective department is entirely a myth. At i least, a newspaper should attempt j to present the truth of the matter. It should employ men a little less gullible than the layman who hears only one side of the question.

ter of the child begin to be formed not only at its birth, but indeed long before its birth; in fact, even before the birth of its mother and father. The physician had not learned the possibilities of prevention of the infectious diseases of childhood, nor had the intimate relationship between malnutrition and the likelihood of success, health, and happiness been established. In the intervening period, the child has had much attention. In Roosevelt’s day, stirred by campaigns prosecuted by many periodicals, the whole nation awoke sentimentally to a drive against child labor and against exploitation of the adolescent for the financial gain of the parents. Soon the attitude developed that the child is not the material property of the parent to be exploited at his will. The state itself, representing all the people, has some interest in the

sion dating back as far as 1922, but more especially now. We have had many drives for relief. We are having in Washington an argument as to the relief for the unemployed and, in general, for the depression of the present day. possibly no single thing will relieve the situation, but there is one thing that I believe will be of the utmost help. This one thing is to modify or repeal the eighteenth amendment. We do not want saloons, but why not let the government make and distribute alcohol, beer and wine and put it on the' market for a reasonable price to ; cover all cost? By doing this we will get rid of all bootleggers. Since the eighteenth amendment our taxes have been doubled and in many cases trebled. Since the eighteenth amendment we’ve been paying more for sugar and most dried fruits. Since the eighteenth amendment the farmer has been slipping fast. He has been paying more for everything he uses than he ever paid before. If the government would handle this proposition instead of the bootleggers, we would make our alcohol and beer out of grain raised by the farmer, instead of making it out of sugar. Ido not know of anything any better than this proposition to open industry to the unemployed and market about 30 per cent more corn, 70 per cent more rye and 80 per cent more barley. If anybody can suggest any better idea for immediate and permanent relief for present conditions than this, then I would be migE&y glad to hear about it, for this is the time we need it. ADNA M.

JOHN HUNTER’S BIRTH Feb. 13. ON Feb. 13, 1728, John Hunter a celebrated English physiologist and surgeon, whose researches led to important advances in surgery, was bom in Glasgow, Scotland, the youngest of ten children. He received his medical training at Chelsea hospital, in London, where his progress in surgery was so rapid that, in the second session he was able to instruct pupils in dissecting. In 1759 he applied for appointment in the British army and immediately was made staff surgeon. After serving through the Seven Years’ war, he settled in London, where, in 1785, he built his famous museum in which he studied creatures from all over the globe. At the time of his death his museum contained 10,563 specimens and preparations illustrative of human and comparative anatomy. Hunter is famed particularly for his cure of aneurism, a form of tumor. 4

child. On the children today the state of the future must depend for its permanency and its development. Few people realize that the first bureau of child hygiene was established in New York City as recently as 1908, and that Detroit, Buffalo, Nashville and Los Angeles followed in 1910. Today twenty-eight states have separate bureaus for child hygiene. Moreover, this movement has been stimulated by the activity and support of hundreds of national and local organizations. Child labor is studied and controlled through the national child labor committee, itself an outgrowth of the New York child labor committee established in 1902. The number of children employed is decreasing regularly. Today a federal law and innumerable state laws attempt to give protection to the child against economic exploitation.

man, and I would like to take exception to-a statement by a writer named W. A. Poe. I would like to know if W. A. Poe was in the army during the war? And whether he was drafted or enlisted? I enlisted, But as it happens, I was one who was, as W. A. Poe says, “vacationed on this side.” I presume that the government knew what it wanted to do with us or we would have seen service overseas. Also, the government saw fit to give us this insurace at the rate of $1.50 a day for foreign service or $1 a day for home service. I suppose if the money was coming to Mr. Poe he would say, “I really don’t need this money, so kindly keep it.” The veterans of the previous wars were voted pensions, regardless of whether they were in action or not, so why not us? I think we deserve it as much as the soldiers in the Spanish-American or Civil wars, H. A. KOBEL SR. Editor Times—Having been a reader of The Times for nine years, I was surprised to see the cartoon on “Cash Bonus—A Little Quick and Easy Money,” In your paper of Feb. 9. It is an insult to our men who braved death so this nation’s men and women might realize freedom. If this money is paid, it can not be called easy and quick money, because it has taken twelve long and hard years to gain this concession. Many of these veterans • are begging for some aid or charity and will of course welcome any amount which will ease their needy families, but remember they did not desert their country in time of need and should not be called easy money hunters now.

SCIENCE

BY DAVID DIETZ

Affiliation of Famous Medical School With Columbia University Hailed as Forward Step. INCORPORATION of the New York Post-Graduate Medical school and hospital, the oldest institution in the United States engaged solely In the teaching of postgraduate medicine, into Columbia university, is regarded as an important step forward by tb* nations medical authorities. The school, as its name indicates. Is not interested in giving the initial medical training, but only in giving additional training to those who have already obtained their medical degrees. It is a school for specialized study and intensive research. President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia in an address declared that the affiliation "marked another long step forward in the development and strengthening of provision for medical study and research in the city of New York.” The agreement between the two institutions, effective July 1, 1931. said Dr. Arthur F. Chace, president of the New York Post-Graduate Medical school and hospital, makes the post-graduate an integral part of the Columbia university teaching system and, in the future, the center of a comprehensive program of post-graduate medical teaching sponsored by Columbia. tt tt Pressing Need “TN Great Britain as well as in J- the United States,” Dr. Butler declared, “the matter of making suitable provision for the needs of graduate students in medicine and for medical practitioners who desire to strengthen or advance their knowledge in some particular respect has become pressing. “Under the arrangement Just effected, the trustees of the New York Post-Graduate Medical school and hospital will remain solely responsible for its financial conduct and support. Its work in the field of higher medical education passes under the control of Columbia university, and becomes an integral part of the university’s work. “The whole field of graduate study in medicine as cultivated at Columbia, whether at the medical center, at the New York post-graduate medical school and hospital, at St. Luke’s hospital, at Mt/ Sinai hospital, at the Monteflore home, or elsewhere, will come under the immediate oversight of an administrative board on graduate studies in medicine, whose work will be closely related to that of the medical faculty and which will be under the jurisdiction of the university council. “It is expected that the members of this new and important administrative board will be appointed in the near future. “It is significant and full of promise that the initiative for this association came from the New York Post-Graduate Medical school and hospital itself, all the members of which have entered into the new relationship with heartiness and enthusiasm.” tt tt o National Center DR. CHACE expressed the belief . that the medical program being developed under Columbia’s leadership will make New York City the center of graduate medical education in this country, and attract physicians from all parts of the world. Linking the post-graduate study of medicine with university facilities for research will strengthen the work of the practicing physician, and shorten the period between new discoveries in medicine and their general application, he pointed out, asserting that, though medicine had made great scientific advances in the last twenty-five years, the benefits had not been 83 widespread as they might have been if the need for the continued education of the physician had been recognized better. The affiliation, Dr. Edward H. Hume, executive vice-president of the Post-Graduate, explained, is a response to a community demand that the medical profession regard itself more fully as the servant of the social order. “Whereas,” Dr. Hume said, “the training of students to become doctors has hitherto occupied the major attention of medical educators, the tide is swinging distinctly to a concurrent emphasis upon the continued education of the man in practice. “The demand for this comes from three directions: The university, the profession itself and the community.”
