MONDAY MAY 15. 1933. u. s.-argentine relations. "lIAHEN President Roosevelt speaks of im- ’ * proving trade relations one of the countries he has in mind especially is Argentina. He made this clear in his recent economic conversations with representatives of that country. Argentina now responds in kind. In his Important United Press interview Saturday, President Justo declared his government was ready to sign a trade treaty with the United States to stimulate business in both countries. He. should be assured that the American government and people appreciate his offer of a reciprocity agreement. Argentina is one of the four or five countries with which the Roosevelt administration is most anxious to reach such an economic accord. It is perhaps too early to discuss the prospective agreement in detail. The state department has not completed its study of the Anglo-Argentmian trade agreement. President Roosevelt has not yet received his anticipated tariff powers from congress. But investigations by American government experts already have gone far enough to sliow that there are a number of commodities which could be included in a reciprocity agreement. Those commodities, how’ever, probably do not include Argentinian meat, mentioned specifically in the Justo interview. Revision of our tariff law would be necessary to lift the mandatory provision of section 306, fixing a sanitary embargo against countries w'here hoof and mouth disease and certain other animal diseases exist. Revision of our tariff law is not impracticable, in the judgment of the administration, during the special session of congress and before the world monetary and economic conference. Perhaps later the power of fixing sanitary embargoes can be made discretionary with the agricultural department on a zone basis, which would facilitate the entry of some Argentinian meat, especially mutton. In any event Argentina will find the United States ready to meet her more than half way in a trade treaty. President Justo’s appeal for collaboration which will prevail over economic nationalism is in complete unison with the doctrine repeatedly voiced by Secretary of State Hull. The fact that Argentina is one of the few if not the only South American government >o maintain payments on its foreign obligations during these hard times has given it a high reputation in this country. On the basis of mutual respect, the Roosevelt and Justo administrations should be able to work out a trade treaty of reciprocal benefits for these two sister American republics.

T\\ ENTY-FIRST AMENDMENT MR. SHOUSE, Mrs. Sabin, and other wet leaders warn that the repeal war of 19311-34 can be lost through overconfidence. Too many Americans believe that with the winning of beer the fight for temperance is over. It just has begun. Victory went to the repealists in the first skirmishes. All three states which have held conventions so far have ratified the twentyfirst amendment. Michigan's convention voted for repeal, 99 to 1. Wisconsin and Rhode Island repealed unanimously. Today Wyoming votes and tomorrow New Jersey. New York, Delaware, and Nevada also vote this month. All of these, with the possible exception of Delaware, are expected to ratify. But the repealists must win in thirty-six states, while their enemies need win in only thirteen. This year thirty-four more states may hold conventions. Out of the thirtyseven possible conventions in 1933, seventeen are in states that the drys long have claimed. These are Delaware, Indiana, lowa, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Alabama. Arkansas. Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, Vermont, Maine. Idaho. Utah, the two Carolinas and Ohio, cradle of the Anti-Saloon League. All these will be scenes of bitter conflicts. To win this year, the repealists can afford to lose in only one of them. It would be folly to belittle the strength of the embattled drys. They have lost heavily, even in church circles, but their leaders are clever. So far they have been able to prevent the legislatures or Governors of five states from calling conventions. A magazine that queried the forty-eight Governors as to their states’ intentions found that twenty-three predicted ratification; four predicted rejections; twenty-one refused to guess. The Anti-Saloon League claims the new beer has no kick to it. The repealists will be foolish if they assume the same thing about the Anti-Saloon League. JUST IN TIME Costigan-La Follette hunger act. providing 5500.000.000 in relief grants to the states, passed just in time. The anti-hunger war chest of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation is nearly empty. Only $2,456,000 remains out of the $300,000,000 loan fund voted last July. Pending applications would have depleted this fund before the end of May. The new measure is five times bigger than any direct relief fund ever voted by our government, It provides for federal control and administration by experts of relief grants to states. It assumes for the central government the burden of feeding and sheltering those new interstate ward# of the public, the wandering, homeless youths. It acknowledges what every relief worker has known for years, that the care of the destitute is a primary social function, not a private indulgence of kind-hearted givers. And

it concedes that when states and communities carry out this function the federal government must help. It took three terrible years to teach the country these lessons. In face of statistics proving the breakdown of private charity, in spite of the pleadings of relief bodies, mayors and Governors, the former administration stood stubbornly against this bill. Testimony before congress last winter proved how tragically inadequate was the compromise loan fund under the politically manned R. F. C. Harry L. Hopkins, New York state chairman of emergency relief, testified that American families were failing to receive the relief they required. The half billion dollars for relief may not suffice to keep the wolf from 4.000.000 doors next winter. But, with work relief and other administration depression remedies, it is hoped that there will be much less unemployment by the time this fund is exhausted. TOPHEAVY RAILROADS A T Salt Lake City during the campaign, Mr. Roosevelt said that it was time for the topheavy financial structures of the railroads to be overhauled. This is the aim of one section of the pending bill. It provides that the new co-ordinator shall promote financial reorganizations, and that henceforth the interstate commerce commission shall exert governmental pressure on borrowing carriers to make them bring about fiscal readjustments. Organized labor, believing these provisions are not strong enough, now suggests that the co-ordinator be empowered to promote and oring about financial reorganizations, and that railroads which decline to scale down their fixed charges be denied the benefits of the administration’s plan. If the federal government is to smooth the path for railroad rehabilitation, permitting and bringing about economies that will deflate labor, the railroads should be willing to deflate capital in cases where necessary. Commissioner Eastman apparently believes that the provisions in the original bill are sufficient; and that there is some misunderstanding about the need, for financial reorganizations among the carriers as a whole. Certainly we agree with him when he says that railroads’ fixed charges can not be scaled down overnight by the waving of a government wand. But we also believe with labor that the present bill should start the reorganizations. If.the original language of the bill is not strong enough to accomplish this, congress well might add amendments. The government should help to squeeze the water out of railroad capitalization. LINDBERGH IN COURT A MERICA is so familiar with the facts of the Lindbergh kidnaping case that most people could recite them backward or forward. And yet in Washington last week lawyers and the court had Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh submit once more to the agony of telling of the ghastly tragedy, reciting all the heart-rending details before a crowd that jammed the court chamber. “Did you ever see him alive again?” Colonel Lindbergh was asked. “No.” Did you ever ee him dead?” “I did.” Such testimony has been put into court records time and again since the kidnaping. Yet stiff and uncompromising rules and habits of legal practice, plus the fact of the many different legal jurisdictions in this country, bring about the perpetration of such useless legalistic torture as that inflicted upon the father of the kidnaped and brutally murdered Charles A. Lindbergh Jr.

DEPRESSION BRINGS SOCIAL CHANGES THE price may be pretty high, but the depression at least is leading the federal government to tackle a lot of jobs that reformers have been urging, fruitlessly, for years. These jobs are being attempted in the hope that they will put men back to work, smooth out the rough places on the road to recovery and allay social unrest. Some people have been advocating them for a long time—and, for their pains, have been denounced as radicals, visionaries and impractical theorists. Now there is every indication that most of these jobs will be done, not because the country is wholly sold on them in theory, but because any club is good enough to hit the depression with. First of all, there is the matter of city slums. For years social workers and others have been telling us that bad housing is a cancer in municipal life. They proved their case over and over again, but we never did anything about it. Now' it is evident that hundreds of millions are to be spent on slum clearance plans—not because we at last have awakened to the menace of the slum, but because we see that this is a good way to start money circulating and give men jobs. Then there is the much talked-of plan by which industry and the government would join forces to check overproduction, spread work, install shorter hours, eliminate sweat shops and adopt minimum wage scales. Social reformers have trumpeted the need of these steps for years. Intelligent business men have urged them, labor leaders have dreamed of them—and now we’re about to adopt them, not because they are good in themselves, but because adopting them may help to restore prosperity. There is, also, Muscle Shoals. Ever since the war a handful of men has tried to make it the basis for a great governmental experiment in power production—a laboratory in which some profoundly important theories about industry, agriculture and public utility management could be tested. This experiment is at last to be made—because of the depression. Reforestation on a huge scale is being attempted because of the depression. Governmental economy has become a fact because of the depression. We are approaching a common sense attitude on tariffs because of the depression. We are getting anew slant on the need for intelligent international co-operation—for the same reason. Nothing in recent history is stranger than the Way the depression has brought a roundabout victory to the reformers.

PEGGY TELLS HER STORY "t'I7'HEN little Peggy McMath returned to ’ ’ school the other day, after conclusion of her kidnaping experience, there was a neat little demonstration of the operation of a bit of child psychology. The teachers, quite properly, asked the other children not to talk to her about the k.dnaping, so that the youngster could get back to normal existence as soon as possible. The children promised—but as soon as recess time came all promises were forgotten. Peggy immediately became the center of an excited and interested group of school children. and she had to tell and retell her story until every child had heard it. Couldn't any one who ever went to school have guessed it? And don’t you suppose that the fun of being the heroine and the excitement of having an absorbing story to tell made the day a red-letter one for Peggy? EXPLOITING CHILDREN HT HE more one hears about the way child workers are treated in some manufacturing plants, the more horriole the whole business seems. Latest reports from certain Pennsylvania shops show that more than 12,000 children under the age of 16 in the Pittsburgh district are working in clothing sweat shops for $2 to $3 a week. The sixty-hour week is common, and these little workers get fined regularly from 10 cents to 51.50 for “making mistakes.” Nor are these conditions peculiar to Pennsylvania. The National Child Labor committee can tell you about ether sweat shops in Connecticut, Louisiana, and-Utah; it cites, as an example, sweat shops in New Haven where children of 14 and 15 w'ork for SI a week. It still is possible for the states to ratify the child labor amendment. After reading these reports, it is hard to be patient with the amendment’s opponents. Congressman has proposed a constitutional amendment that no one shall have more than a million dollars. Wrong idea, congressman. What we need is a constitutional amendment that no one shall have less than a million. “I never had perfect vision,” says Billy Evans, former big league umpire, commenting on having some of his Cleveland players’ eyes examined recently. So far Billy is the only umpire to admit it. Writer from Louisville says the usual parade of fast horses and beautiful women was on hand for the Derby. Guess we got ’em mixed. We seem to have bet on a beautiful horse. “Our patience is exhausted,” said a Japanese leader just before beginning the latest drive into China proper. Well, they have had to take a lot. Americans have lost their peacock strut, says the president of Rotary International. Well? Ever see a peacock strut after he’s had all his tail feathers pulled out? The only place you’ll find the clinging type of girl these days is on the hind seat of a motorcycle. Even today, Germany is certainly the easiest country in the world in which to make your mark. Ireland at last has abolished the oath to the British king. Oaths at the British king undoubtedly will continue as usual. Lots of times a fellow gets all set up over a victory. But the jockey who won the Derby got set down.

M.E.Tracy Says:

The young .nan who kidnaped Margaret McMath and collected $60,000 for her return was not a criminal by training or inclination. Neither did he bear the McMaths any grudge. What he wanted, and all that he vranted, was money with which to save his home. Stealing a rich man’s child struck him as the easiest way to get it. Distraught parents, holding law enforcement officers at arm’s length, promising imiftunity and paying over huge sums of cash made a bad impression on his weak mind. If he had made a successful getaway, more weak minds would have been inspired to try the trick. Massachusetts authorities have done this country a real service. . Kidnaping has become altogether too fashionable for comfort. Upset fathers, ready to pay without question, are mainly responsible. While one can sympathize with their feelings, their attitude toward crime and society must be recognized as dangerous. No citizen has the right to help make any kind of a crime profitable, and that is what ransom and promises of immunity do. There are thousands of potential kidnapers in the United States —young men and women, driven to despair by loss of work, property, and prospects. There are thousands of weak minds groping for a w’ay out of their difficulties, ready for any scheme which promises quick cash, naturally envious of those still able to live in ease. u tt a THE way certain kidnaping cases have been handled is little less than an open invitation to come and get it. Kenneth Buck never would have thought of stealing Margaret McMath but for the things he had read and heard. Her father’s reaction shows that he had sized up the situation correctly. The police were requested to lay off, while secret negotiations were opened with the kidnapers. They could depend on getting a reasonable ransom and on being given a forty-eight-hour start of the law'. The United States soon would become a hotbed of child-stealers if such attitude prevailed. It is regarded as little short of that right now in many homes where small children and a reputation of wealth combine to make life miserable. Under such circumstances, it is necesasry for people to recognize their social obligation. Every child ransomed, evert- escaped kidnaper, every case in which authorities fail, only sets a dozen traps. a a tt IN the end. we must fall back on efficient police protection as the one sure remedy. That can not be had if parents prefer to act independently and pay. The inescapable consequences of compounding felonies is ruled by felons. We are having too much of that. Paying crooks has done more to develop gang control and racketeering than any single factor. We have gone very far in advertising our fear of criminals on the one hand and our lack of faith in constituted authority on the other. That is not the way to get around corruption or incompetence on the part of law enforcement officers. It is not the way to make life safe, or improve conditions. Our one way out is to work for courts and police officers that we can trust.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

(Times readers are invited to express their views in these columns. Make your Utters short, so all can have a chance. Limit them to 250 words or less.) By One Who W'ore a Carnation Mother's Day. In your paper of May 10, Governor McNutt urged aid for the mothers. If any one on earth needs aid, it surely is the mothers of the children of the unemployed. The Family Welfare and the Red Cross slighted them rather shamefully, it seems to me. Those mothers are bearing heavy, burdens that should be shared by both parents, but are not. Yet the father is the one who receives decent clothing and new- shoes that he-isn’t ashamed to wear anywhere, while mother after mother receives only flannelette dresses, poorly made, cut over patterns ten years out of date, someone else’s old shoes that do not fit, and cause foot ailments that become more serious day by day. Many of these mothers are ill from worry and lack of decent food. They don’t complain much. What is the use? One mother of seven remarked to me the other day that she did not care if the world ended that night. She had washed all day on the board. Her wash was snowy white, her shabby house was clean. The school board furnished clothing for the children, the Red Cross outfitted her husband and eldest sons, the Family Welfare furnished new shoes for both father and sons, but the mother is ashamed to sit out on her porch in the evening. She is typical of thousands of other mothers. Yet she doesn’t complain much. Only mentions that her feet hurt so. Yes, let us consider these mothers a bit now! By F. B. M., Lebanon, Ind. Mr. Taxpayer, apparently no one else thinks so, but I am inclined to think you are employing subterfuge. Os course everything you said in both your first and second letters were absolutely true, and applicable to 999 of every thousand American citizens. But as yet they are unable

This is the second of three articles by Dr. Fishbein discussing: foot troubles. A PAINFUL heel may be due to many causes; sometimes there is inflammation of the heel tendon. Under such circumstances it is desirable to prevent at once all bearing of weight on the heel bone, and to supply suitable bandages or casts to make certain that there is relaxation of the pull of the tendon on the muscles of the calf and on the heel bone. In addition, there must be suitable baths and massage to stimulate the tissues and aid recovery. If the condition is very slight, elevation of the heel by use of pads of felt or sponge rubber takes off some of the strain. In certain infections within the body, such as infection of the teeth, tonsils or other portions, there may be associated secondary infections in the feet.

THE most important problem of the twentieth century is the problem of • .he old. If we solve that, we shall find many others happily settled also. In Napoleon's time the average man died at 33. With us, the 33-year-old man is a mere boy. Women then did not live as long as men; today we live longer. All of which must be considered when we discuss the duties of the individual to society. It’s more than stupid to apply yesterdayrules to the puzzles of today. They never will work. Everything has changed and human relationships therefore are not the same. Life is more complex and swifter than before. And it is literally true that milwomen nowadays live long past fne child-bearing age. Motherhood may be their vocation in earlier life, but if they wish to be happy old women, they must have some avocation for their later years.

It is true that the P. R. Mallory Company gave a 12 ! 2 per cent increase April 1 and also again on May 1. It was not an increase, only the 25 per cent return taken away Jan. 1 from salaried employes. The fact is that the P. R.

They have allowed a few millions of us who were politically and financially unsophisticated (that’s more euphonious than the “unw’ashed hordes”) to go for quite a while now without the usual “crumbs from the rich man’s table” w-hich they were feeding us in 192829, calling it prosperity.

Asa result of the continued irritation, there may be a growth of bone on the lower, outer surface of the large bone of the foot, the heel bone, aid the production of what are called spurs. Occasionally the development of these spurs is associated with infection, with venereal disease, but this is by no means constant. It is, of course, exceedingly important first to determine the presence of any infection and to control that. Associated with the growth of the spur and infection, there are pain, tenderness, swelling and a tendency to limp.

These come on gradually, and the pain and tenderness usually seem to be felt first along the inner border of the heel. Since painful heel may be due to a wart, to inflammation of the covering of the bone or to an injury, it is well first to inspect very carefully the outside of the foot and then, if the cause can not be found, to have an X-ray picture which will reveal the presence promptly of so-called spurs with certainty. If the foot then is placed at rest and suitably treated with heat, the pain and sensitiveness will disappear. Use of felt pads tends to relieve pain In the weight-bearing portions of the foot.

Our fond, if silly, belief that the man who retires from business is as good as dead scon must be replaced with some more humanitarian and intelligent formula. Indeed, it seems to me, that the time has come when the real enemy of humanity is the man who refuses to retire from business when he has sufficient means to keep him • family. Yet these older people can not be expected to relinquish all active interests without a protest. They must have something to take the place of their children and professions. What will it be?

HAY 15, 1933

It. Seems to Me “ BY HEYWOOD BROUN =

NEW YORK. May 15.—The case of Rockefeller vs. Rivera seems to me to present certain aspects which ar° rather comic. Naturally, my sympathies go to a fellow painter and to a companion in mugwump radicalism. But the Rockefeller point of view is understandable, even though wrong. The family of the oil king hardly can be expected to join hands in a circle and cry out in great glee: “Goody! Goody! Dieg,-* is painting us a head of Lenin upon the nice, clean wall of our new building!” It is a little as if a mural painter came to the villa of Jimmy Walker and suggested “How about my doing a nice frieze of dancing Sea bury s over your mantel?" a a s Art With Reservations. BUT the fundamental fallacy in the position of the Rockefellers lies in the fact they chose Rivera in the first place and then expressed shocked surprise that he should set red flags to waving in his background. After all, they can not justly assert that they were unfamiliar with his point of view and method of expression. One would not have gone to Landseer with the request. “Please paint for me, but let’s have no damned dogs anywhere in the compostion.” Nor would it have seemed sensible to give Turner a commission with the stipulation: “Do whatever you like, Mr. TANARUS„ in your best manner— that is. anything but sunsets. I can’t abide them.’ Yet if it is true that the Rockc - fellers should have known Rivera from the beginning it is equally true that he must have heard of them. Possibly it is not quite fair to say that proletarian artists should not put their trust in Socony princes. Diego Rivera is primarily a mural painter. He can’t start unless somebody offers him a wall. Practically all the walls hereabouts belong to the well-to-do. There was a certain naivete in the Mexican's compromise suggestion that he might provide balance for Lenin by tossing in Lincoln and John Brown. “This,” exclaims an angry editorial writer, “would make things even worse in American eyes!” tt tt tt Propaganda and Paint IMUST admit that I do not quite understand the psychology of those who so bitterly resent Rivera’s scheme. He would be the first to agree that he mixed propaganda with his pigments. Indeed. Rivera has said that without propaganda there can be no art. In the largest sense of the word that is undeniably true. I mean that when a man paints a picture he says something. He expresses an opinion. Nor can the most conventional sort of photographic realism kdep even the most pedestrian artist from putting something of himself on the plaster or the canvas. I think it would be quite possible to do a revolutionary still life around a dead fish and a couple of oniohs. Georgia O'Keefe, for instance, has painted the humble eggplant in aspects which constitute a direct challenge to conventional morality. If Mr. Rivera wants to continue to spread his stuff upon the bigger and better walls of New' York I’m afraid that he will have to speak up on his customers. The Rockefellers, for instance, have been rather proud of their reputation of being liberal minded in the matter of art. In the past they have looked upon Rivera when he was red and have exclaimed, “How interesting! ’ But in those instances Diego was moving behind a smoke screen of cymbolism. The radical artist will get along moderately well with the very rich as long as he contents himself with doing a man with a hoe or a hammer and saying, “This is the spirit of labor.” a tt tt Leaving Out Family THE figure with tne hefty torso may be bringing the hammer down on the head of another character in a cutaway. But there will be immediate objection if the paunchy one happens, by any cnance, to bear too close a resemblance to Uncle John or Cousin William. There could have been a figure uniting the hands of the worker and the soldier, but he must be the Spirit of Co-operation or something of the sort and nobody whose picture ever appeared in the Sunday rotogravure section. I am told that the man who posed for the figure of one of the militant workers happens to be, by an odd coincidence, a nephew of Mr. Curry. No harm was done, for only ?. few visiting relatives would be in a position to say, “You know', that’s Aloysius over there waving the red flag and kicking the stout gentleman in the stomach.” The very rich can abide quite a lot of radicalism as long as it remains symbolic. I wish I had been able to sit in as mediator in the dispute between the Rockefellers and Rivera. I think I could have suggested a compromise acceptable to botn parties. Diego Rivera might have paintecL in the very center of his scheme a large, hairy figure tearing a railroad car in two. To Rivera that could have been the Capitalist Svstem. And to the Rockefellers, King Kong. And this would have satisfied the cultural aspirations of both parties.
