SATURDAY MARCH 11. 1833

ROOSEVELT’S COURAGE President Roosevelt has run up against the veterans’ lobby. It is the real test of his power. This Is the significance of his special economy message to congress and the lines that are being drawn today in the congressional cloak-rooms. If we bankrupt the government, we bankrupt the country. By accumulating in three years a government operating deficit of five billion dollars, we are headed toward bankruptcy. That is one cause of the banking chaos. It contributes to unemployment. It deepens the depression. Ail of this is set forth clearly in the President’s message asking congress for immediate action. The chief cause of the annual operating deficit Is the one billion dollar veteran expenditure. It is the only large federal expense where a large cut Is possible. For three years, the Hoover administration and congress tinkered with small economies, but did not touch the big leak. Finally President Hoover proposed very moderate veteran economics. Congress refused. So the deficit continues. President Roosevelt proposes to stop it. There are three very simple things for the public to remember in this fight for a large veterans’ cut: I—lt is NOT proposed to reduce the care and benefits of veterans Injured in the war, but rather to protect and insure the continuance of adequate relief for that class of veterans. The reduction would come mainly out of the appropriation for so-called nonservice connected disabilities. The possible saving, without any injustice to actual war sufferers, is estimated at $400,000,000 to $450,000,000. 2 The need for unusual speed in making this cut Is fixed by the date on which about $700,000,000 of government bonds fall due for payment. That day is next Wednesday. The government, far in debt, can not pay. It must borrow; that is, it must issue new bonds to take up the old. The ability of the government to refund those bonds depends in large part on cutting the operating deficit—which means, the veterans’ cut. While at Christmas time, the government was able to borrow money for less than 1 per cent, public confidence has been shaken to the point on the eve of the bank holidav . 4l at the government had to pay more than 4Vi per cent for money. The government can not refund its bonds on favorable terms next Wednesday unless congress meanwhile passes the Roosevelt economy law. Otherwise. high interest rates will compound the federal deficit and debts, and make it vastly more difficult to climb out of the depression. 3 Long experience with many sessions of congress has proved that since the Civil war, veteran lobbies can boost their class subsidies in good times and prevent reduction of those subsidies in bad times. Ot all the political lobbies in our history, this one has been the most powerful and consistently successful. Well organized from the back-home -precinct and on up to the capitol at Washington, this lobby has existed as a kind of government within a government. Congress has not prevailed against it. Congress, apparently, can not prevail against it. At last we have a President with courage enough to ask congress for power to do what congress has failed to do. Congress should be glad to grant that power. Mr. Roosevelt is willing to take the political consequences. We believe the President will be vindicated. Not only the general public, but a great many veterans unselfishly see the justice and necessity of this cut.

COLONEL WOODCOCK RETREATS The decision of Prohibition Director Amos Woodcock to withdraw his enforcement sappers from the speakeasy terrain and send them into action on the manufacture and transportation fronts is in the nature of Hobson's choice. Congress, under pressure of public opinion, has forced him into the less spectacular positions by cutting his funds, banning the purchase of "evidence” and outlawing wire tapping The new Woodcock strategy, however, has greater significance. It is a candid admission that Uncle Sam is through with state and local liquor enforcement. Liquor control today is virtually up to the states and localities. They may take it or leave it. Washington is interested only in protecting state borders, in smugglers and in large-scale manufacturers. And. regardless of what state systems prevail after repeal, this will be the essential relationship between the localities and the federal government. Asa system this is sane and just. Wet states no longer will be overrun by alien and unwelcome "fcdrrals.” Dry states no longer may wish their enforcement responsibilities on to the federal government. which then sends the bill to the wet states. The federals will function, as they always should have functioned, in protecting dry states from interstate traffickers. There remains now the early necessity of legalizing this relationship by repeal ratification. The sooner this is done the sooner the fantastic burden of enforcement will be lifted from federal taxpayers’ backs, the sooner revchue from legalized beer, wine and liquor will begin flowing into government coffers. FINANCING FARMERS The proposed unification and co-ordination of federal farm credit agencies into a single system is one of the hopeful parts of the new administration's agricultural program. Over a long period of years, congress has pieced together a group of agricultural loan agencies that ha\e proved inadequate. From them, for instance, loans might be made at interest rates ranging from less than 1 up to 7 per cent. The system began to crack about two years ago; congress injected $125.000,000 to give it new life; but that hasn't accomplished much good Now, with moragage foreclosures piling up, with the need for agricultural credit even greater, some efficient means for providing cheap loans is necessary. This can be accomplished by pruning the present system, as advocated by Henry Morgenthau Jr., new head of the federal farm board. But fn this renovating process, nothing should be done to harm the co-operatives, which th§ board

has been fostering for four years. President Hoover's administration rightfully was criticised for the “stabilization,” or price-pegging experiments, of the farm board, but he and his regime should be given due credit for bolstering the nation's system of co-operative farm marketing. Morgenthau apparently plans to unify the farm finance agencies under the board, liquidating, perhaps, the nearly useless joint stock land banks, and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation's subsidiaries that charge such high interest. The new- system must be prepared, at the outset, to be lenient with delinquent farm borrowers. It should offer the strength to support them until agricultural prices have reached more normal levels. A DEPRESSION BY-PRODUCT The movement to stop child labor is gaining momentum. Two legislatures have ratified the child labor amendment to the Constitution within the last month. In three more states one branch of the legislature has voted by an overwhelming majority in favor of ratification and final approval is almost certain. All five of these states previously had rejected the amendment. Several legislatures now in session have taken preliminary steps for ratification. In the conservative strongholds—Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine—influential newspapers have begun campaigns for action. Grown-ups who sit idly at home and watch their children go out to earn the family bread are not going to believe the fantastic tales spread to defeat the amendment any longer—assertions that with the amendment in the Constitution, children no longer will be able to wipe the dishes for their mother, or milk the cows for their father. There now is a chance that the amendment may be ratified before the year is over, under the stress of necessity. If this happens, the depression will not be without its bright spot.

RELIEF REFORM Assurance that the new administration will act quickly to make unemployment relief effective was given the Governors’ conference in Washington, We now know that President Roosevelt wants a more orderly and co-ordinated disposal of federal hunger funds to the states, and that the Governors as well as the President prefer work relief to doles. Since last July the federal government has poured into the states some $240,000,000. On the spending of this great fund the government has had little check. A tiny corps of five Reconstruction Corporation field men lias tried valorously to prevent waste. It is little wonder that many states, lacking proper relief machinery, have allowed precious dollars to seep into political pockets or flow down rat holes of inefficient administration. Uncle Sam has set up strict standards in federalaided road building. But there is no American standard for relief. In some southern states relief is limited to $6 and $7 a family a month; in Chicago it is S3O. Work relief wages range from 20 cents an hour to $4 a day. There should be a minimum relief standard, below which no state can sink and expect federal aid. To maintain this standard, the federal government should contribute leadership as well as money. Human beings are as important as highways. The Governors’ resolution, favoring federal aid for work relief administered by states, paves the way for immediate action on a great state-federal public works program. This, too, is understood to be the Rooseveltian policy. The new congress is expected to evolve a combination of the Costigan-La Follette and Wagner bills, adopting the best features of both. Federal aid, an emergency essential, should be administered to the states under an expert federal board, working with and through state boards to feed, clothe and house the needy under a national standard. Work relief on a scale contemplated in the Wagner bill should be speeded not only to prevent hunger. but to stimulate, through public works, stagnant private industry and commerce. Generously and speedily the government should gi\e and loan. But it need not do so wastefully. And it should not allow states to waste money. Waste in relief funds means more hunger. One thing can be said for jiw-saw puzzlers—they have to have a sense of the fitness of things. The collector of rare coins certainly finds a wide field for his endeavors these days. In all that talk about beer, does any one recall what has became of light wine? Banks finding it advisable to impose limitations on withdrawals are hopeful that bandits will be considerate and observe the spirit of the rule. When the bars are let down on beer there’ll be just as many go up.

Just Plain Sense BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON =

\ MAZING is the rage for jigsaw puzzles and the continued sale of detective stories. We have it on good authority that men and women all over the country are sitting up nights to fit little pieces of wood on to other little pieces of wood and that all over the great land thousands burn their midnight oil over crime yarns. Few men in the public eye have the courage to say they do not care for murder stories. Like a love for dogs and a hankering to go fishing, this is one mark of a master American—this fondness for a good mystery tale. . And one murder no longer suffices us. We want half a dozen, and pride ourselves that we nearly always can spot the criminal in the third chapter. Now it would appear reasonable to expect that people who can fit thousands of intricate crooks and curves into a complete and perfect whole should be able, after sufficient practice in this pastime, to solve partially the great economic jigsaw puzzle which to date remains in the same old jumble. a a TITHAT is more logical than to believe that all * this reading as to how crimes are committed and criminals are apprehended, might develop a few experts who could go out and catch some live culprits. in between stories? Thousands of books and magazines pour from the presses, with detailed information as to how this is done. Clever detectives are introduced to us nightly, who solve the most baffling problems upon the moving picture screen. Newspapers run minute mystery columns to sharpen our wits. Yet Pretty Boy Floyd still galops here, there and yonder over the southwest. The Lindbergh kidnapers are at large. Thousands of rascals steal, slaughter, and practice their colossal rackets, while the great American nose is buried in detective stories, and the American eagle eye watches Mr. Clive Brook do a Sherlock Holmes, and the great American brain wears-itself out ovU a jigsaw puzzle.

—.l SCIENCE===-y-t-= Potato Bug Triumphs '.■= BY DAVID DIETZ ■■

THE striped potato bug, known to scientists as the Colorado potato beetle, has fought man to stalemate. Man has not been able to stamp out this little creature. He holds it in check only by continuous warfare against the insects for possession of the earth. When the white man moved across America he was able to conquer the Indians, oi'iginal occupants of the territory. He was able to exterminate dangerous wild animals. The bison, which once roamed the plains in huge numbers, is no more. Many species of birds now are extinct. But the potato bug was too much for man. This little yellow, black-striped insect was unknown to the world until 1824, when Thomas Say, a pioneer American scientist, found it in the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado. He discovered the first specimen feeding upon a plant closely related to the potato, known as the beaked nightshade. Later, when farms had become extensive, in Colorado, the little bug was reported as a pest which was very destructive to the potato

Times Readers Voice Views ... Editor Times—The article by Mrs. Walter Ferguson discusses "The World We Made for Our Children” and the cry "What a Future Is There For Our Girls?” I should say the cry should be “What Is the Future of Our Boys?” The future of our nation is very dark until the girls give up jobs in industries which our boys should have at wages that would permit marriage and the ability to support a home. Then the cry no longer would be “Who is there for our girls to marry?” Os course as long as the girls do the men’s work at a woman’s wage, there will not be enough income to support a man and children. But let the man support the women and children, and there will be a vast difference. It is high time we get our heads out of the sand. The reason the cries against women taking the place in industry that has been sacred to men is tht they took them at such low- wage that it cut the purchasing power of the industrial worker until the result has been depression such as never before was known in this country. And it is only in the restoration of man in industry that a cure can be effected. Since we now have a secretary of labor who is in favor of a thirty-four week, and the removal of children and the aged from the labor market, all should get behind the cause and do what they can to help create the laws for which she stands and our country will see better times than we ever have known before. On account of mass productions of machines, it must be better. I certainly agree with Mrs. Ferguson that some of us dash our heads against the rocks. WILLIAM LEE. R. R. 6, Anderson, Ind.

"■ DAILY HEALTH SERVICE - Tongue Tells Doctor Many Things _ —-ujj. j... BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

THE tongue is an organ which always has aroused the interest of the medical profession. Doctors of an earlier day used to pay a great deal of attention to appearance of the tongue because of the relationship of such appearances to disturbances of the rest of the digestive tract.. Occasionally the tongue .is abnormal in its construction at birth, so that the condition of tonguetie is produced. There are other cases in which that portion of the tissue holding the tongue is obnormally long, permitting actual swallowing of the tongue, with occasional asphyxiation. The tongue suddenly may be inflamed from a number of different causes, such as injuries, burns, in-

crop. It had discovered that potato plants were excellent food. By 1859 it had reached Nebraska. It crossed the Mississippi river and by 1865 had invaded Illinois. a tt An Invading Army ■OENJAMIN DANE WALSH, Illinois state entomologist in 1865, reported that progress of the potato bug through the state was like the march of an invading army moving in many separate columns. By 1839,, the potato bug was found in Ohio and by 1870 throughout the entire middle west. It reached the Atlantic "oast in 1874, spreading all the \vay from Connecticut to Virginia. In 1900 it was found in Florida and Louisiana. During the World war, it was carried into France with potato shipments and is now spreading so fast there that all hope of eradicating it has been given up. Entomologists see no way of preventing it from spreading throughout Europe. Until 1869 no successful method of fighting the insect was known except that of picking them off’ the potato plants by hand or brurshing them into a pan of water or oil. u tt Paris Green IN 1869 someone whose name is not known hit upon the plan of dusting the potato plants with a poisonous powder known as parts green, which contained arsenic. Since that time farmers have been able to keep down the ravages of the potato bug and certain other insects as well by the use of certain poisonous sprays. But continual activity and vigilance are required. In 1923, in the United States alone, more than 31,000,000 pounds of calcium arsenate, 11,000,000 pounds of arsenate of lead, and 3,000.000 pounds of paris green were used to fight potato bugs and other insects. Authorities say that it would be impossible to raise' potatoes anywhere west of the Rocky mountains without spraying the plants. The potato bug is ready to grab man’s potato crop at the first opportunity.

It Seems to Me .... by Heywood Broun

I HAVE endeavored to say during the last couple of days that I did not believe we were standing at the edge of the end of the world. "Just around the corner” has not proved to be the happiest of all phrases, but somewhere there are cakes and ale and good red herring. The embalmer whom I have met over the week-end annoyed me not a little, but I must say that, next to a funeral director, the most depressing thing in the world is a professional cheer leader. Returning last night to my bed and board a little earlier than is my custom, I found a telegram stuck under the door. I never have become sufficiently sophisticated to treat such messages lightly. Invariably I feel that this may be some communication about the glass slipper and promise whereby I may cash my pumpkins in terms of coaches. After all, Uncle Alfred’s kidneys are not so good, and I am always worried about him, since he has no living heir. I was the one who advised him not marry the tall blond girl who stood the third from the left in "Hot-Cha.” tt a a Message From Garcia \ ND so whenever I open a tele/V gram I steel myself for a shock of good news or bad.

The tongue is primarily responsible for the sense of taste w’hich is, at the same time, a composite of the sense of smell and the feel of food on the tongue. Loss of the sense of taste may result from inflammation or swelling of the tongue; it may be associated with hysteria. In the same way .there may be exceeding sensitivity to tastes, so that a person constantly is tasting sweet, sour, salt, or bitter; and in other instances foods taste different from what they should. In every such case it is necessary to make a most careful study of the entire patient, his surroundings and environment, and particularly his emotional condition.

M. E. Tracy Says: +■ —■-— ——-— + EXCHANGE SYSTEM IS WRONG

NO matter what happens, please remember that the country has lost nothing in man power, land, raw material and equipment. All that has gone wrong is the system by which we handle exchange, and that has gone wrong in technique rather than principle. Scared bankers and scared depositors have put us in a temporary jam. Too many people have tried to save themselves, regardless of what their various moves

and methods might mean to the general welfare;. It should have been understood that the public could not be dissuaded from hoarding ns long as banks set the example. It should have been foreseen that one bank holiday would lead to another, until the whole country became involved. It should have been realized that every act indicative of fear would only breed more fear. The time to have taken effective and courageous action was when the bail began to roll in Michigan, or even before. o a a Disciplined Sacrifice Demanded BUT let us waste no time crying over spilled milk, or trying to find out who was most at fault. We have come to grips with an emergency, in which the common good demands disciplined sacrifice, as President Roosevelt suggested in his inaugural address. Somebody must be given control of our tangled fiscal affairs, and the rest must follow his guidance. Sucli arrangement should be made, not with the idea of permanency, but for the sole purpose of preventing imminent disaster through restoration of confidence. Rightly or wrongly, we have a banking system which operates 75 per cent on faith. Theoretically, we have about 40 billion dollars on deposit in our various banks, but, as a matter of fact, we have only about nine billion dollars in actual money—gold, silver, and paper combined. There is hardly enough money to pay one-fourth the deposits. And hardly *cnough to pay one-tenth. Anything like a general run, therefore, is out of the question, and if it can not not be avoided, it must be prevented. tt a Gold Reserve Must Be Protected THE system was not designated for immediate or wholesale liquidation. No system involving the affairs of a nation can be so designed. The gold reserve must be protected, even if we have to suspend gold payments to do it, and the investments of the people must be safeguarded, even if it becomes necessary to sequester Urem for a time. The stupid idea of liquidity, which some of our bankers have preached, comes to a logical conclusion in this stampede of holidays, embargoes, and clearing house certificates. It will wind up with inflation, and. as I have said a dozen times, if we do not take inflation in hand early enough to control it, we are likely to put on a show that will give the whole world something to shoot at.

Every Day Religion . BY DR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

“T TAVE you ever been down at -*• death’s door?” writes a friend who has been desperately ill. “It is a profound experience. One sees more clearly than aver before what life . really is and ought to be. Big things shrivel up, little things loom large. “Honors one longed for, victories won by having our own way, thrist for revenge, exacting our rights, pride, and ambition—how petty these things become. One discerns the meaning of life, what true values are, and the folly of running after false ones.” In a remarkable letter, my friend goes on to tell what he learned in an illness that lasted some two years. At first he was sad and hopeless, as if under a dark cloud of dejection, unable to see any way out. Then, suddenly, he came to believe—practically, not as a nice theory—in the personal immortality of the soul. At once everything was different, as if a light had been turned on in a dark room. He saw that he had been living life with an entirely wrong idea of what life is. a a tt IN the light of a flash he saw that his standard of values had been wrong, and it staggered him. He had been ambitious for power, covetous of place, eager for comfort and praise and respect, and these things about which he had fretted became trivial. He saw that what really matters is his relation with the souls of

trembling fingers I fumbled at the envelope and tore it open. It proved to be no personal message, but a form of greeting from Mr. Vash Young, who wrote ‘A Fortune to Share” and “Let’s Start Over Again.” Mr. Vash Young, I might add, is to literature w'hat Uncle Don is to the radio. “No moratorium can be declared upon my outlook on life,” said the telegram, and I began to have an uneasy feeling that perhaps that last round of lobster Newburg was a mistake. “No holiday can be declared upon my bank of right thinking,” the pep message continued, and I was almost sure that I had indulged too freely in some bad celery. And, although I had spots before my eyes and embarrassment in the presence of any sex, I continued to read this stop-the-presses announcement and found, “This morning I cashed a big check, which gave me an immediate supply of courage, faith and tolerance.” At this point, I asked to be excused. I don’t object to anybody's being cheerful, but I must say I am ill prepared at 3 o’clock in the morning to get telegrams from people who are making an ostentatious display of large wads of right thinking, faith and tolerance.

Today his one passionate belief is a belief in love—love of friend, love of neighbor, love of God, who now seems very real and near.! With this is joined the absolute faith that we are all of us, from the lowest to the highest, knit together with chains of nearness to each other and to God, now, hereafter and forever.

altogether had escaped my attention. It seemed to me a good idea to read something the current radio writer had done before attempting to interview him, and I sent out and got copies of “A Fortune to Share” and“ Let's Start Over Again.” I read forty-five pages of the fifst one and said to myself: “This is a swell bourlesque, but I think it’s a little overdone. Still, we might get up a pretty good program kidding about it.” The plan of the program was that I got the necessary author to my flat and gave him a cigaret and a drink, and then we talked as informally as possible, while a stenographer jotted down all the pearls and bits of oyster shells. Mr. Vash Young did not drink or smoke, and I feared the worst. tt tt tt He Becomes Courage "lVf R - Y °UNG,” I said with as much informality as I could muster, “you say something in your book about how to start out in the morning. When I get up in the morning I ieel as if I were falling apart. In other words I feel terrible. What should I do about it?” And, as heaven is my witness, Mr. Vash Young replied: “When I get up in the morning, instead of studying about courage, I become courage. Instead of thinking about patience, and so on down through a list of endearing qualities. “In other words, instead of leaving my home in the morninfe an agitated human being, I go out as a bundle of the best qualties I can think of, and then I let these qualities carry Vash Young through the day. This simple operation has solved all my problems very nicely.” So when I stand before the judraent seat and hear the penalty of 2.000 years in Purgatory, I will accept it as a just decision. I went to the radio studio for the hope of gain and sat silent while Vash Young said precisely this to the men and the women and the kiddies of the invisible audience. I knew it was wrong, and I shouldn't have done it. Indeed. I couldn’t have done it but for the fact that while "all endearing qualities” turned his head away for a minute I filled the ice water glass with straight gin. icopyrisht. 1833. by Xh* Time*)
