FREEDOM—WITH STRINGS President Hoover has vetoed and the house has repassed the defective Philippine independence bill. It was conceived by a tariff lobby and pased in defiance of Philippine interests. Its high moral purpose is only a cloak. Filipinos themselves are divided over acceptance of independence upon such disastrous terms. It is believed they will reject the law if it goes to them for action. While agreeing with Mr. Hoover for the most part on the obvious evils of the bill, we disagree with his alternative pjoposals. Instead of ten to twelve years of intermediate government preceding complete independence, the President would postpone the entire issue for fifteen or twenty years, at which time a plebiscite would be held. That part of the Hoover plan, in our judgment, would compound the evils of the vetoed bill. The President makes an important point, when he insists that the process of economic separation should be much less abrupt and destructive than provided in this bill by the sugar lobbyists. After having made the Filipinos economically dependent upon us, against their will, we honorably can not cut them off from our free trade until they have adequate time to develop normal trade relations with the world. But the President is mistaken in assuming that the desired period of continued trade preferences necessitates a similar period of continued political rule by the United States. Poltical freedom should be granted immediately, we believe. They should be freed because they want freedom, because freedom is an inalienable right, and because we long have promised them freedom. And. very important for the United States, they are a political danger and a defense liability. As an isolated outpost, we could not defend them sg .inst major attack. Yet as long as we hold them they will overextend our naval lines and weaken our primary defenses. Politically, they can embroil us in the recurring fires of Asiatic intrigue and war. The United States should negotiate a treaty with all the powers jointly guaranteeing the perpetual freedom and neutrality of the Philippines, and then withdraw at once and completely from separate political responsibility.

HYSTERIA The Dies bill, lone survivor of the ill-fated Ha mil - ton Fish anti-red program, is through the house and through the senate immigration ocmmittee, and is being pressed for early passage. It should be killed. It authorizes the labor department to deport all alien Communists. It makes mere membership in the Communist movement a deportable offense, instead of personal advocacy of force, as at present. It refers only to overthrow of non-Communist governments, thus by implication protecting and encouraging those hundreds of “white” emigres now engaged here in plotting the end of Soviet Russia. It is a radical measure, in that it sets up, for the first time, a distinction between forms of government' as a basis for alien discrimination. It is a dangerous measure, in that it could be misused for strike-break-ing purposes. It is conti ary to this republic's tradition as a haven for minorities of all religious or political faiths. Present laws have proved adequate to protect this country from the criminal alien plotter. Spread of radicalism will not be halted by deporting a handful of foreign reds. It will be halted only by removing conditions of hunger, want, unemployment, and insecurity that make men desperate.

GOVERNMENT BY KNOWLEDGE The facts gathered by President Hoover's research committee on social trends are of high value in themselves. The conclusions drawn from them by the eminent social scientists who wrote the summary report are of even greater significance for the public. But of greater moment than either the specific facts or the associated conclusions is the import of the enterprise as a whole. It is the most notable step thus far taken in this country to pi'omote government through, precise knowledge of the social science in which we live. It implies that contemporary history and the social sciences must furnish guidance for any competent government in our complex urban and industrial world civilization of 1933. The effort to encourage government by intelligence and to develop a science of social progress can boast a long history, in spite of very slight concrete achievements to date in actual governmental circles. Among the Greeks, Plato's 'Republic" and “Laws” were based upon the aspiration to make philosophers kings and to rule through superior wisdom. Aristotle, while less Utopian, went about as far as was possible in his day to develop a science of political leadership in his immortal “Politics.'’ But the first writer to argue comprehensively for a* real .science of human progress was the Abbe Bernardin de St. Pierre, who wrote at the opening of the eighteenth century. He had lived through the long and disastrous dynastic wars of Louis XIV and had participated in making the treaty of peace which ended them. He felt as many did after the World war, namely, that an impartial and informed body of scientific knowledge should be developed to save humanity from such staggering and bloody mistakes as Europe had made in his generation. But his fellow-countrymen failed to heed the abbe. France did not move to higher levels of wellbeing through scientific planning of her social future. Rather, she drifted stupidly into revolution and carnage under the rule of lesser Bourbons than the “Grand Monarque.” This French revolution of the late eighteenth century, together with the progress of science and the rise of the new industrialism, stimulated another Frenchman to argue further the necessity of a science of social guidance. This was the brilliant and versatile Count Henri de St. Simon. He contended that progress never could be assured unless social development was controlled by a specific science of social progresses, ipood inten-

tions, even those of & Voltaire or Russeau, never would be enough to direct man safely amidst the perplexities of the modern age. St. Simon's disciple, the famous French philosopher, Auguste Comte, christened this new evidence demanded by his master, sociology. In his voluminous works on "Positive Philosophy" and "A Positive Policy," he described the nature of a society founded upon such a science. But, for all his industry and learning, Comte, primarily was a philosopher, and did more wishful thinking than scientific investigation. It remained for an American to place the age-long quest for social guidance in a truly scientific perspective. Lester F. Ward was for most of his life a natural scientist in government employ. Os tireless industry and great self-confidence, he accumulated a vast body of knowledge and brought it under control of his scientific outlook and methods. In his “Dynamic Sociology,” and other works, he not only set forth the arguments in support of a scientifically guided social order, but indicated the specific equipment necessary to achieve such a result in real practice. He envisaged a national academy of social science at Washington, manned by a group not unlike President Hoover’s committee on social trends and their research assistants. This academy would gather all available data on every conceivable public problem. It would indicate the general character of current social developments and the desirable political policies which should control and guide them in the interest of human happiness and well-being. Legislators on Capitol Hill would flock to the academy for advice as to what laws were needed and for aid in drafting such laws in an intelligent manner. Chance, drift and revolution would give way before intelligence, scientific provision and controlled evolution. But the vision and good offices of Ward came to naught. We drifted into world anarchy, world war and world depression. President Hoover’s committee now has taken one step further than Dr. Ward. The necessity of a background of knowledge and scientific insight for intelligent government has been given official administrative recognition. The dream of a social philosopher has grown into vast masses of data, many specific reports, and the intelligent summation which just has been made public—all under governmental sanction. If we drift into something worse than 1914 to 1933, no one can say that we have not been informed adequately and warned powerfully.

RIRICULOUS DEMOCRATIC POSITION • (By Frank Kent In the Baltimore Sun) The leading advocates, male and female, of unqualified eighteenth amendment repeal, who supported Mr. Roosevelt on the theory that Democratic success was the way to get }t, are hurt in their feelings and low in their minds. They have a sense that, somehow, logic has failed, reason gone wrong, and that they are put in a ridiculous position. And this feeling seems justified by the facts, because, extraordinary to say, the repeal resolution reported to the senate Monday by a committee composed of ten Roosevelt supporters and seven Hoover supporters, is not the Roosevelt or Democratic plan at all. On the contrary, it is in all essential respects the bitterly derided, detested, and denounced HooverMills Republican proposal. It provides for a ban on the saloon. It retains police power in the Constitution. It writes into that instrument the gist of the Webb-Kenyon law still on the statutes. It does, in fact, everything the Democrats said they did not want to do. It does all the Republicans said they wanted to do. And the bitter part is that it is done by Democratic votes cast by four regular Democrats, who stood on the Democratic platform and presumably were bound by its pledge. One of them presided over the Democratic convention. An enemy of technocracy complains that some inventions have caused man nothing but trouble. Including, we suppose, that one about being delayed at the office. If geologists are right in predicting that New York will be covered by a mile of water in another 1.000.000 years, Father Knickerbocker needn't worry. That’s no wetter than 30,000 speakeasies make it now. Comets caused those big depressions in Arizona and Texas, an astronomer tells us. But that still doesn't explain the big one denting the rest of the country. Let's hope the country gets straightened out on technocracy pretty soon, so that every one can get down once more to debating pro and con on daylight saving.

Just Plain Sense by MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

MARY BORDEN, in a series of articles on marriage for Pictorial Review, suggests that it might be pleasant to have a different husband for each season. This is one of the enticing customs in old Tibet. Yet four, I think, is too many. But how convenient it would be for every wife to have two husbands—one to make the living and the other for social purposes. Every woman who has had to listen to the growls of the enraged male as he donned dress clothes for a “little evening Kith the Smiths” knows whac I mean. It's the hardest thing in the world to find a man who combines business and social efficiency. If he keeps your allowance adequate, he usually dislikes public dining, and if, on the other hand, he is pleasant about dancing and the theater, the chances are that he will be no good at money-making. Life is like that. a m n WE keep up a fine pretense of enjoyment about these mixed parties of married people. But the attitude is largely bluff. For the men when they leave home at all, prefer the stag affairs, where they do not have to be perpetually on their good behavior, nor required to make pretty speeches to women who bore them, and where their wives can not show them off like expertly manipulated puppets. And women—well, the truth is, we enjoy most those gatherings where we can sink in silken shimmerings of femininity, where the babble is deafening, but the appreciation of a fetching gown is keen, and where we can experience that sense of complete kinship that women, even though they are enemies, feel for one another. There is only one sensible way for the sexes to mix socially. That is to give parties where no guest would be hampered by presence of husband or wife. And this, especially in some parts of the United States, would be regarded as immoral, if not depraved.

Every Day Religion BY DR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON -

T\OWN the back ways of history and legend a story has come to us from the long ago, bringing a lesson too fine to be lost. Whether the story is authentic or not we do not know-, but it is too good not to be true. It tells how r Jesus, walking witTi his disciples across a stony and barren field one day said: “If each one who goes here would carry a stone away, it soon would be a fertile land.” At once each of the disciples picked up a stone. John found as large a stone as he could carry, and the other disciples did likewise, according to their good will. But Simon Peter was in a sullen, sulky mood, and he selected a tiny stone, hardly more than a pebble, and went marching along with the rest. When they reached the other side of the field, they sat down to rest under a tree by a bright spring of water. The Master, seeing that they were weary, told them to put their stones in front of them. “We are hungry, and have nothing to eat,” said Peter, who was thinking only of his food. “Those who work will always v have bread.” said the Master, and lo! in an instant' the stones were

It Seems to Me . . ..by Heywood Broun

ONLY a week ago I was pretty sick of it all. The world seemed ill disposed to accept any of the excellent advice which I peddled from day to day, and, besides, I had a nasty cough. My whole disposition was to get on a boat which would take me to some sun-drenched beach where I could sit and forget both flu and politics. But my spirits and my tissues seem to be on the mend. Perhaps I’ll give up the scheme of pretending to be a pirate on some A deck and stick to my knitting. In spite of lack of success to date, I may offer the ill-adjusted world one more, chance before I shake the dust from my feet. Still I am in receipt of an excellent offer of locusts and wild honey. It comes from McAlister Coleman, who writes: “It seems years since I sailed away from your city, looking, through tear-dimmed eyes, from the back deck of a. Weehawken ferry at your diminishing skyline.

changed into bread! John had a large loaf, and Peter —only two mouthfuls! But he was too proud to ask any of the others to share with him. a a a the way back across the field at nightfall, no one needed to be told to pick up a stone, and this time Peter carried the largest stone of all. At the other side of the field flowed a river, and Jesus said: “Let no one do good for the sake of reward. Throw your stones into the river.” Peter fasted a whole day, but he learned a lesson—aye, tow lessons; not to be fculky, and not to do good save for the joy of doing it. How easily a murky mood can spoil a whole day, and even make us do a lovely thing in a petty, ugly way. It is only a bit of clotted selfishness, but can mar our joy and make us fretful and a trial to our friends. Let us also learn another and deeper lesson from the story—that he who carries a load to smooth the way for others, though it seem to be a stone will find at last, if he is faithful, that it will turn to bread!

Editor Times Evidently our state lawmakers, now in session, do not understand the fundamental significance of the political landslide experienced last November, which was aimed not only at fiscal extravagance, but chiefly at the widely resented encroachment upon personal liberty inherent to the prohibition laws. They do not see that good, righteous citizens were tired of being regulated in their homes, and simply threw off the yoke in disgust, hundreds of thousands of them, singly, following the same impulse, in spite of the influence of church and the mightiest newspapers in the land. Otherwise, these lawmakers would not propose to make “home brewing” a punishable offense, starting all over again the sneaking, demoralizing tactics of enforcement which have filled our penitentiaries. If necessary, let them tax everything needed to “brew,” and prevent sales outside of the regular agencies. But stay out of the home! AN ONLOOKER.

Poison in Germs Produces Lockjaw

This is the first of two articles bv Dr. Fishbein on the nature and treatment of locktaw. ANCIENT Greeks knew about lockjaw. Indeed, the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, described it and made some statements about the likelihood of recovery which still are good. It was not, however, until 1865 that it was thought to be infectious and the germ was not described until 1886. Today it is possible to isolate the germ, to grow it artificially and to produce lockjaw in animals by injecting germs into their bodies. The poison produced by these germs is one of the most powerful known. Most people used to think that tetanus, or lockjaw, always was caused by scratching the skin with a rusty nail. Today It is known that the rusty nail produces the disease because it is contaminated with material containing the germ of tetanus.

M.E. Tracy Says: +• ——•— —-——► TECHNOCRATS' GALL' AMAZING

FOUR-HOUR days and four-day weeks —possibly less—with everybody earning the equivalent of a $20,000 income and at liberty to play golf or contract the rest of the time! Best of all. these technocrats are not moved by any desire for fame or revenue. They merely are suggesting, in a cool, calm, impersonal manner. what we must do to be saved. Beyond scrapping the government, economic system, and social order which now prevail, they have nothing drastic in mind. Beyond running

the show, they want nothing out of it for themselves. We live in an energy civilization, you understand, where machinery does all the work and a few technicians do all the thinking. It is only a few years old, to be sure, but that is no reason why we should not recognize and accept it. as interpreted by the technocrats. Since 1920, machinery has become master of human fate. Wp must not complain, protest, or argue, but dump all our preconceived notions into the waste basket and bow gracefully to the inevitable, to the new godhead, and heed the technocrats as his vicars on earth. BUM Where Would Geniuses Have Landed? NEITHER should we be shocked or alarmed by the changes that are in store. What's a little detail like substituting electric dollars for those of gold, or replacing the present price syetem with one based on a time-energy unit? Just a few experts at Washington instead of the existing clumsy set-up, and there you are. Frankly, I am intrigued. All I want to be sure of is that this time-energy unit of compensation fits the newspaper game and that my grocer will accept those electric dollars. Personally, I prefer rubber dollars, since they would stretch and be easier to catch on the bounce. I can not help wondering what Shakespeare would have received had the time-energy unit of value been in effect, or whether blind Milton would have been better paid for his ‘Paradise Lost.” Presumably, such speculations have no place in technocracy. Presumably, we are done with such antiquated trades as the writing of poetry, painting of pictures and building of air castles. You just can’t imagine a machine composing a song, though you know very well how one can be dinned into your ea'*s until you are sick and disgusted with it. m n u Must Be Human or Brutes YOU can visualize synthetic milk, but not a synthetic calf, and concrete flowers in the front yard, but never a concrete bud that will bloom. You can picture a machine as copying ideas by the trillion, but you can’t picture it as producing a single one. And that brings us to the question of whether civilization is a matter of ideas or material products, whether we should build for the mind or the body, whether it is more important to encourage the imagination or satisfy physical appetites. Which comes first, the dream or the device? Which produces more happiness, an extra bath tub or a good neighbor? We only have a few years to spend here. Which promises to fill them with greater satisfaction, cold light or warm hearts? My own thought is that we can not cease to be human without becoming brutes.

Rust Costs Huge Sum

THE fact that steel rusts results annually in the loss of millions of tons of metal and hundreds of millions of dollars. For that reason, laboratories in all parts of the world are hard at work upon the problem of making steels which will be more resistant to rust. Progress to date in these fields recently was summed up by Dr. John Johnston, director of research of the United States Steel Corporation. “The properties of steel are so valuable, indeed so unique, that the world wishes to use it for all sorts oi purposes, and so tries to offset its tendency to rust by applying to the steel surface some sort of protective coating,” he says. “Familiar examples are: “By electroplating the steel with copper, nickel, chromium, or other metal. “By coating it with another metal, with tin, as in the familiar tin can, or with zinc to make the so-called galvanized iron, or with lead. “By coating with a glass or vitreous enamel as in the familiar enamelware. "By covering the surface with paint or tar or other similar materials.” a a a Copper and Chromium NONE of these coatings has been entirely satisfactory, Dr. Johnston tells us, and so research is going on continuously to find new and better ones. “A great deal of effort also has been put forth in experimental work aiming to lessen the rate of rusting of iron by addition of alloying elements, with little success except in two instances, both discovered some twenty years ago,” he continues. “First, the presence of about per cent copper in steel slows dowm markedly its rate of rusting and destruction in the atmosphere and has proved to be especially advantageous in steels exposed to industrial atmospheres as in and near cities. This type of steel, which is sold as copper steels and also under various trade-names, costs little more than ordinary steel, slows down the rate of rustir ■ in the atmosphere, but is not rustless. “Second, the discovery was made that addition of chromium to the extent of 12 per cent or more renders the iron substantially rustless under many conditions of use. “This was a rather surprising discovery, for chromium is not inherently a noble metal in the sense that gold and platinum are. “Indeed, it is really less noble than iron, but has the power of

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hvteia, the Health Magaiine. WHEN this germ gets into the body by any means whatever, it sets up inflammation of nerve tissue and, because these germs have a special predilection for certain nerves, the condition called lockjaw is produced. It now is well established that certain types of wounds are more likely to cause tetanus than others. The most important are wounds which are deep, penetrating, lacerating, or crushing and which,because of that fact, permit particles of foreign matter containing the germs of tetanus to go deeply into the tissues and to remain there. This germ lives much better in the absence of oxygen. When it is pushed deep into a wound, it is without oxygen and therefore is under the best possible condi.lons so- its growth. The effects are produced more by the poisons from the germs themselves. Indeed, it is believed that the poison, or toxin, is trans-

covering itself, rapidly and automatically, with an invisible, very thin, oxide film, which, when formed, protects the metal underneath from further attack.” a a a Stainless Steels CHROMIUM retains this ability to form a coating of oxide even when it is part of an iron alloy, provided that it is present to the extent of 12 per cent or more. “This is the basis for all the recent rapid development of the so-called stainless steels,” Dr. Johnston says, “their stainlessness being in all cases due to the chromium which they contain. "It is of interest to note that the element chromium had been known for more than a century before it recently was put to work, as a metal, for the world., “This delay in making use of chromium is due in part to the comparative difficulty of extracting it from its ores, but mainly to the presumption that it would exhibit no outstanding valuable properties. “Moreover, it was, thought of as rare, but its ores prove now to be at least as abundant in the earth’s crust as are ores of copper, and to be much more plentiful than ores of lead or of tin, all of which usually are not thought of as rare metals. “It is true that chromium still is—and is likely to continue to be —rather expensive as compared to the wonderfully cheap metal iron, and therefore that steels containing enough chromium to render them stainless must inevitably cost more than ordinary steels cost a century ago, render special service, which for many purposes justifies their extra cost.”

Because the germs are farily widespread, it is remarkable that the disease is not more common. * Apparently, however, it is necessary for the germs to get deep into the tissue through a wound to multiply and produce the disease. In the United States somewhere around 1,000 to 1,300 deaths occur each year from tetanus. The number is less now than formerly because of the disappearance of horses and manure from city streets, because of the diminution of Fourth of July accidents associated with explosives and because of the use of new methods of prevention which were not f° r “ merly generally available.
