COPYING FASCISM

Now comes the proposal that as a matter of law, township trustees or other official distributors of public charity, may refuse any man food if he refuses to work. If jobs in private industry were plentiful or even available, there would be no criticism. In such days, Idleness was a crime and punished as such. But the work offered in return for sustenance is to be public work, of the kind formerly performed by paid workers if done at all- Most of it, perhaps, would not be performed except in this manner, although in this and other cities there is a tendency to replace men on the public pay rolls with those who work for food. There is nothing new' in the proposal. It has been in operation in Italy for a decade; since, in fact, Mussolini seized the reins of pow'er with his black shirts and castor oil and proceeded to govern that nation in behalf of business. The burden of relief grow's menacingly and there should be no surprise that taxpayers would look to the jobless for public work as a means of reducing taxation. But whenever this Is done, some man on the pay roll is discharged, to join the long lines of w'orkless and himself to become a worker for food. In the end, such a system can result only in reducing all to the lowest level of living standards. Probably most men out of work would prefer to give some return for whatever succor is given to them. They w'ould prefer to earn for themselves and have, by countless thousands, volunteered to work. But such a law would toss aw'ay any claim that relief for the needy comes from sympathetic hearts and is inspired by a feeling of human brotherhood. It means that the relief is given because it dare not be lefused and that the owning class demands as much as it can obtain in return for however little it is forced to spend. But the plan worked well in Italy. It may here. Above all it will provide discipline and a respect for government that can be obtained in no other way. If it should fail, leadership in government and in Industry may discover that the only profitable w r ay for government or industry is to provide work for wages and recognize the fact that men are divinely endowed with the inalienable right to earn their own livelihood. CALL FOR ACTION Quick decision by the states on prohibition repeal is essential. There has been too much delay already. Last summer the two political parties acted. Last November the electorate acted. Now congress —even in a lame duck session—has acted. The sooner the state conventions act, the- better. Speed is necessary to demonstrate that our political system is responsive to the public will—a much-needed demonstration in these days of sagging and derided democracy. Speaking from the standpoint of those who oppose prohibition, speed is necessary to end a system whose racketeers are sapping business and depriving the public treasury of large revenues during a depression when every dollar counts. Speed Is necessary to restore respect for law. Now that congress has passed repeal, so-called enforcement will be more of a farce than ever. The grain of moral sanction which sustained the unpopular law is gone. To go on tapping wires, buying evidence, filling prisons, and shooting at suspects in the name of a law partially repealed will be as dangerous as it is silly. The only way to minimize that chaos is for the states to complete the repeal process in short order. State conventions composed of a very small number of delegates, elected by the state at large, and on the single issue of ratifying or not ratifying the repeal amendment, would seem to provide the quickest machinery for action. At the same time, this would be most completely in line with the purpose of the convention method, as provided in the Constitution. It would be the closest approximation of a direct vote of the whole people that is possible under the Constitution. Fearing delay by some states, Representative La Guardia. former Attorney-General Mitchell Palmer and others propose that congress itself provide the state convention machinery for ratification, rather than wait for straggling Governors and legislatures to call the conventions. A strong legal and constitutional case, in our judgment, can be made for this proposal—in theory. But there are overwhelming practical objections. To mention only one, the senate judiciary committee which would have to pass on the questions considers such method unconstitutional. There is little, if any, immediate chance of getting the senate to act on this question contrary to the views of its constitutional experts—Senators Norris and Borah on the Republican side and Senator Thomas Walsh, the prospective attorney-gen-eral of the Democratic administration. Since the object is to avoid delay, a fair and intelligent course is to give the states a chance to call their conventions. If an appreciable number of Governors or legislatures hold up the procession, congress then might step in. But that occasion seems unlikely to arise. WHAT WASHINGTON REALLY SAID AND THOUGHT (By Hrry Elmer Barnes) The patrioteers and Isolationists will seize upon Washington's birthday to remind us that the Father of Our Country counseled strict isolation from other nations and a firm support of military preparedness. They Bill quote passages from the Farewell Address out of context as confirmation of their thesis. They hardly will cite the cogent section of this address which specifically states Washington's views on the future of our foreign relations. Here he said: "Observe good faith and justice toward all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct; and can It be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? "In the execution of such plan, nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations and passionate attachments for others should be excluded; and that

in place of them just and amicable feelings toward all should be cultivated.” I submit that it would take an ingenious exegete to prove that Washington had isolation in mind. He obviously recommended close and cordial relations with the outside world. If Washington believed this to be wise for the period In which he was speaking, when cultural conditions forced relative isolation, due to slow sailing vessels, the absence of telegraph, cable, and wireless facilities, and the general ignorance of the masses, how much more would he be likely to insist on intelligent participation in world affairs in • our complex, urban, industrial civilization, when time and space in matters of communication have born weir nigh eliminated on this planet and when the failure of foreign debtors would threaten our financial structure? The militarists will not get much more satisfaction than the isolationists from Washington. Listen to some of his observations on war as an institution: "My first wish is to see this plague to mankind banished from the earth....My first wish is, although it is against the profession of aAns, and would clip the wing's of some of your young soldiers who are soaring after glory, to see the whole world in peace It really is a strange thing that there should not be room enough in the world for men to live without cutting one another's throats. ...It is high time for the age of knight errantry and mad heroism to be at an end.” HOOVER’S MESSAGE President Hoover's special message, calling for adoption of an eight-point legislative program before adjournment, comes at an opportune moment. After many wasted and futile weeks, the expiring lame duck session seems to have undergone an unexpected death-bed revival. The Hoover proposal for ratification of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence treaty is doubtful; more study is required on this very controversial issue. But there appears no good reason why congress should not act favorably and quickly on the following measures, as requested by the President. Glass banking bill, bankruptcy bill, and an embargo on arms to warring nations. Farm relief and mortgage relief can not be passed except in piecemeal fashion by this session, and therefore should be left to the Roosevelt administration to fit into its larger reconstruction program. Foitunately, the President has come around to seeing the need for added federal hunger relief. He apparently favors the Wagner loan plan, as adopted Monday by the senate. The house, however, would be wise to consider the larger La Follette-Costigan direct grant plan. In any event, adequate hunger relief now is the biggest emergency issue before congress. Delay means more starvation. A philatelist got $15,000 for four 1918 airmail stamps, rare because of their inverted center. And still they say mistakes don’t pay. If business would go straight politics would go straight, too, says a writer. Yes, and if politics would go straight to where most business men say business has gone it would be O. K. with practically everybody. What a charming tete-a-tete it would be if some hostesses should bring together the consular attache who quizzed Einstein on pacifism, the examiner who Tsked the citizenship applicant if he believed in technocracy, and the customs inspector who thought phqtos of the Vatican frescoes were obscene! There may be something in that proposal to make motor fuel out of grain. It may be better to give corn to the motor than to the driver. A Texan rode a mule all the way to Washington just to tell Vice-President-Elect Jack Garner "I hope things will be better.” They will—until he starts back again. uoan Crawford declares she’s gone without a full meal for three years because she has ambition. All of us know a lot of folks who have done the same thing—because they haven’t. A bill has been introduced in congress to create a super cabinet to give the President and congress advice. But how to make them take it is the question. Barter now’ makes it possible to trade a “peck-of-potatoes-worth” of parsnips for a “bushel-of-com’s-worth” of artichokes.

Just Plain Sense ===== BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

of the saddest things we have to face is a realization of the futility of most of our reforms. One may admire the ardor of the worker, but at the same time one must be aware of the tragic uselessness of most of his efforts. By my side lies a small paper-backed volume entitled “The Use and Need of the Life of Carrie A. Nation,” written by herself, illustrated, price 50 cents. Opening it at random I read: “On the whole, tobacco has done more harm than intoxicating drink. The face of the smoker has lost the scintillations of intellect and soul. The odor of his person is vile, his blood is poisoned, his brain dull. A smoker is never a healthy man. Prussic acid is the only poison worse than nicotine. “The smoker transmits nervous diseases, epilepsy, weakened constitution, depraved appetites and deformities of all kinds to his children. A tobacco user never can be the father of a healthy child.” And so on. Pages of assertions that never have had any foundation in truth. At the time they were written, in the early 1900s, the most intelligent men of the country did smoke and their wives bore healthy children. a a ■pOOR Carrie Nation! So energetic, so noisy, so sure that she was right and so inevitably marked to be the laughing stock of future generations. I wish more women might read her little autobiography and then take a long squint at their own busy-ness. Because a good many of them, like Carrie, are too serious-minded ever to accomplish very much that is permanently good. They lack the ability to achieve a perspective on themselves and the age in which they live. In the heat and ardor of reform, they lose sight of the fact that it may be possible that all the things we consider so excellent will have no value whatever to those who come after them. And certainly it is a little funny when you consider that in trying to make all mankind like themselves they do perpetual obeisance to their own ego, which is an attitude tliat is neither sensible nor wise. And how much more pleasant life would be if we stopped trying to reform everybody and only tried to be a little kind I * ' „

Something to Honk About at Last!

It Seems to Me .... by Heywood Broun

THEY took me to hear Brahms —the Concerto No. 1 in D minor and the Symphony in E minor No. 4. That’s quite a lot of Brahms, particularly for a musician who up to now alw’ays has rated as his favorite tunes “Hot Moonlight” and “I’m Just a Poor Little Doorstep Baby.” I can’t quite say that I came out of Carnegie hall whistling all the hit numbers from the Concerto, but still I think very well of Brahms. I have a decided notion to become just an old music lover. For one thing, I find there’s prestige in it. At several distinguished dinner parties I have attracted more attention than is my w’ont by casually remarking, “Did you happen to catch Ossip Gabrilowitsch at the hall in the Brahms festival the other night?” a tt tt Birthday of Brahms TT was bruited about, I believe, that the show was a celebration of the one hundredth birthday of Brahms. This, of course, is slightly inaccurate, since the master, although precocious, was not actually born until May 7, 1833. I suppose I hardly need state that he was “b. Hamburg; an austere classicist, it has only been since his death that B. has taken a foremost place among composers.” Johannes Brahms died in 1897 and missed by one year the thrill which swept the world when Dewey sailed into Manila bay. The celebration of those brave days W’as left to John Philip Sousa, which only goes to show how the passing tides of history may affect the life of even the most austere classicist. I have no wish to carp, and I see no reason w r hy the Philharmonic should be criticised for beating the gun in the matter of Brahms’ nativity. It would be quite silly to call a festival a celebration of the ninety-ninth year and a few odd months. And I am told that even at that age Johannes Brahms took a hun-dred-year-old size. Nor have I any desire to be flippant. I really was moved. Indeed, I might almost say, "Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,” for at last I saw a well-mannered audience. After racketing around at first nights and the better motion picture houses, it comes as something of a surprise and revelation to find 3.000 people acvually intent upon the stage itself. Few came late. None read the prpgram notes aloud or remarked audibly, “I always say, ‘There’s nothing like Brahms to buck you up.’ ” Only two coughed. The 300 actually had gone to hear music and not to find out how Stella’s aunt was getting along without her gall bladder.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE ™ ■ —- Tuberculosis Is Disease of Poverty by dr. MORRIS FISHBEIN -■

This is %he first of two articles bv Dr. Fishbein or. the prevention, o' tuberculosis. THE protection of mankind against tuberculosis is based on two principles formulated by the famous Pasteur and Robert Koch. The first is to preserve the child against infection by removing it from contaminated surroundings. The second is isolation of the sick and the education of the sick in prevention cf disease. Tuberculosis is a social disease in the sense that it affects groups of mankind as well as individuals. Second, it is involved with the economic status of those who are infected. For example, in Vienna in 1913. deaths from tuberculosis were five times higher in the poorer quarters than in the better class quarters. In Hamburg, Germany, the death rate for each thousand people was 4.8 when the family income was below 1.200 marks, and 1 2 when it was above 5,000 marks.

Matter of Few Errors I BEHAVED pretty well myself. Once I dozed. It was during the concerto, and Gabrilowitsch, according to assignment of course, was enmeshed in the treble. I was beginning to w’onder if there couldn’t be some rule whereby you lift out of the upper register with the loss of stroke and distance when I dropped off. Fortunately, I inclined toward the man on my left, who also had been up late the night befoie. Then up rose thp brasses and up rose Heywood Broun. Bruno Walter could not have been pointing at me, for his back w 7 as turned, and, anyhow, he did it several times later on. Maybe it was just what Brahms meant, but I had a slight feeling that the conductor was swooping into some of the musical sections with a certain suddenness. Nobody should attempt to read too much into the mere movement of a visiting maestro’s right shoulder blade, but I thought I almost caught him saying: “Irving Berlin, phooey! George Gershwin, bah! Come on, Brahms; get hot!” To deport myself Is such a way was not to bring shame upon the

Editor Journal of the American Medical Association ar.d of Hv?eia. the Health Maeazinc. Tuberculosis attacks ail races, all ages of mankind, and indeed all classes of human society, but it is largely a disease of poverty and malnutrition. All available evidence indicates that the number of deaths from tuberculosis for each 100,000 of population steadily is decreasing throughout the world. Dr. E. Bernet, one of the most famous French authorities on the subject, says that the decline in the death rate from tuberculosis began long before the era of bacteriological discoveries and of modern hygiene based on such discoveries. He seems to be convinced that the reason is not any change that has taken place in the germ of tuberculosis, but probably that a change has taken place in the nature of man. The death rate drops among people who have had tuberculosis for many decades. The death rate rises when tuberculosis comes into a country area or in-

Long ago I learned that in the more serious temples of art one does not slap his palms together and cry “bis” the moment the music stops. Sometimes it is only a rest.

Their genius, if it may be so named, like the genius of King Alfred was moral, and their greateness lay in the noble symmetry of those simple, dependable qualities which make nations great.

to a district in which the population previously has been relatively free from tuberculosis. u u a THERE semes to be evidence that the coming of the industrial era, with crowding and long hours of labor, produced a higher death rate for this disease. Then came the protection of labor, particularly of child labor, social hygiene, improved nutrition and improved housing, with a lowering of the rates for tuberculosis. There seems to be no doubt that the diet, particularly the diet of invalids, long has been important in the treatment of tuberculosis. Some people simply do not get enough food. Many people are fed badly because they do not know how to select the right foods and to make the best use ot what they have. There seems to be not the slightest question that malnutrition has an extremely unfavorable effect on the death rate from tuberculosis. NEXT: Precautions against tuberculosis. %

M. E. Tracy Says:

WE DRIFT TOWARD FASCISM

BY no stretch of the imagination can measures now before congress to grant PresidentElect Roosevelt increased power be regarded as providing for dictatorship. They represent a move in that direction, however, and the complacency, not to say approval, with whch they generally are received represents quite a change in public opinion. Whether this change is more than a passing fad, brought on by depression and encouraged by the example of seme other countries, remains to be seen.

For the moment, large numbers of people not only have come to doubt the capacity of our governmental structure to meet existing conditions, but are in a mood to entertain the idea of more or less permanent alterations. Paradoxical as it may seem, this idea of modifying our political methods, agencies, and institutions owes far more to reactionary than to liberal propaganda. The drift clearly is toward Fascism rather than toward Socialism, with big business in the lead. Aided and abetted by the worship of mechanical efficiency, and by an educational system which has sought to develop specialized skill rather than character, the Mussolini conception of government has gained many converts in this country. u tt a Helps Politicians to Dodge Issues MANUFACTURED fears of Red propaganda and consequent efforts to stifle it only have served to crystallize sentiment in favor of centralized authority, group control, expert management and rigid discipline. Added to this, politicians have taken advantage of every possible opportunity to dodge issues and evade possibilities. This move to give the President-elect increased power is popular with many congressmen, because it offers them a chance to pass the buck. Thy are more than glad to let Mr. Roosevelt do it, regardless of the precedent established or the effect on our form of government. Nor is this the first time the legislative branch has weakened itself rather than face the risk of performing its full duty. Some of its original power has passed to the supreme court and some to the chief executive. Probes, inquiries and a disposition to criticise gradually have sidetracked the work of purposeful, constructive law’ making. Notwithstanding the w’ideespread distress and the obvious need of relief measures, congress has wasted an incalculable amount of money and time during the present session. Its willingness to surrender power is quite in line with the futile talk with whiqh it has frittered away so much of the W’inter. tt tt tt Trend Seems to Be Toward Fascism A LL that, however, is of far less importance than the ultimate effect •Fx. on our political ideas and institutions. Are we moving toward dictatorship? If so, is it a good thing? Has anything occurred to warrant the admission that our form of government is a failure? Radical elements say "Yes,” while conservative elements say little, but take advantage of the discontent and steal the show. The plot has been so rigged that if real changes take place they will be in the direction of Fascism. People who dont want that would better give their attention to the preservation of the American system. All this talk of repealing the anti-trust laws, encouraging monopoly, clothing the chief executive W’ith greater power, and putting experts in charge, ser.'v’ but one purpose. People who would be free must pay the price. Part of that price consists in giving up the advantages which go with centralized authority, rigid discipline, and government by specalists.

SCIENCE^ —— Science Aids Indians BY DAVID DIETZ

SCIENCE plays the major role in a number of the most important divisions of the United States department of the interior. Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the department, calls particular attention to the United States geological survey, the Indian service, the federal office of education, the national park service, the general land office, the bureau of reclamation. Each of these bureaus is carrying on important work with which the citizens of the nation should be familiar. “The United States geological survey is an example of the service which science can render to government,” Dr. Wilbur says. “The geologist with his trained mind has made a study of that part of this great continent which is in our possession. “Through years of endeavor and the work of thousands of trained men, we possess a fund of information regarding our mineral, water, and soil resources which guides much of our national policy in various fields. “It is obvious that without the help of the expert w r e would have floundered in our conquest of the natural resources of the country. “Open the imaginative mind of the geologist and his capacity to visualize the treasures stored below the surface of the earth depends much of our future national welfare. , “In the geological survey we have much that was practical but also much that was fundamental.” a a * The Indian Service THE work of the Indian service, which Dr. Wilbur calls “the task of helping the American aborigine along che path of progress until he spans in a few generations the gap between the stone and steel age,” calls for the best of scientific thought. “Medicine must wrestle with these problems of health that always confront undeveloped peoples in contact with civilization, ’ he says. “Education must present itself to the unaccustomed mind. “The psychologist must reconcile races that are ages apart. The agriculturist must bring a new training to the reservation. “Aided by all these, the Indian service has turned the corner. Its new goal is to work itself out of a job in twenty-five years. Its new methods center on splitting apart the two separate problems of the Indian’s personal welfare and the protection of the Indian's property. “These necessarily have been much confused during our nation's 100 years of past wading in the quagmire of Indian administration. “Administering the billion-dollar Indian estate, scattered through many states, has been a job of much clerical detail. The problem of health, education and welfare were allowed to interwine with this clerical work. “Asa result, our government’s treatment of Indian problems often has been from a bureaucrat’s point of view. We have coddled and pauperized one of our finest racial stocks. “Today, as a result of these methods, the average Indian has • neither the education, the inclination. nor the ability to manage his own property.” a a a Research in Education THE federal office of education was created as a research organization to gather and disseminate information on educational methods for benefit of the states, Dr. Wilbur says. “But in the course of time,” he adds, “it acquired many administrative functions which never should have been loaded uport it.

We have relieved it of these administrative functions. “Education of the Alaskan natives was transferred to the office of Indian affairs and other Alaskan responsibilities given to the local government. Consequently, the office of education doubled its reseach activities. “A division of special problems was created to study education of exceptional children, of native peoples, of Negroes, and of children in sparsely settled regions. Anew division of research and investigations was created. "A third new division of major surveys was organized to supervise work under special appropriations by outside specialists. These include a nation-wide survey of land-grant colleges, a national survey of secondary education. one on the professional education of teachers and so on.” Next: Scientific work of the other divisions of the department of the interior.
