WEDNESDAY. MAY 17. 1933. THE ROOSEVELT DOCTRINE PRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS histone peace appeal to all nations goes far beyond the Hitler menace which hastened it. Between the lines of the appeal is implied recognition of Russia, a warning to the warring nations of South America, a reminder to Japan that she is outlawing herself as an aggressor, and notice to the entire world that the United States is ready to take leadership in effective International co-operation for prosperity and peace. Probably no action by an American government since our entry into the World war has been so significant. Since Versailles, American foreign policy has been a wavering and unsuccessful attempt to wield power in world affairs without assuming responsibility. In the Washington arms conference, the United States restricted its responsibility to naval and Pacific questions in which we had a direct interest. In all the Geneva arms conferences, we have taken the position that land disarmament and the related security question was a European problem, to be worked out by European nations, without our co-operation. The United States government refused to put teeth into the Kellogg anti-war pact specifically because it was unwilling to take any definite responsibility for observance of that treaty. Hitherto our government has declined even to enter a consultative pact for preservation of its treaties. But in this emergency, President Roosevelt not only has consulted with other nations; he actually has put the United States ahead of Great Britain and France in an affirmation that any threat to European peace is a threat to American peace and welfare. Though this truth is somewhat clearer to the average man today than before, it was Just as true in fact during all the post-war years, when the Washington government vainly was trying to maintain the fiction of national isolation from European affairs.

'T'HERE is not a single American economic ■*- problem that can be solved in disregard of the rest of the world. Even the most blatant Isolationist among us must realize after these four years of suffering that our fictitious isolation from Europe did not prevent world depression from helping to drag us down, ruining the foreign market for our farm products and the excess output of our industries, bankrupting farmers, closing factories, turning workers out on the breadlines, smashing our banking system, and finally pulling us off the gold standard itself. President Roosevelt is not moving into the international situation because he likes it, or because he lacks enough work or excitement at home. He is fighting to save the arms and economic conferences, because he has learned since March 4 that even the mast drastic domestic measures he has introduced can not revive agriculture, can not give work to 13,000,000 unemployed, can not put us safely back on the gold standard, if world chaos is sucking us down. The American government can not really balance its budget, or plan national economic revival, until it knows whether there is to be arms competition or arms reduction; tariff war or reciprocity agreements; a depreciation race between the pound and dollar or monetary stabilization; observance of peace treaties in Europe, Latin America, and the far east, or American preparation for war. The immediate effect of the Roosevelt declaration is to unite the world against the Hitler madness. Hitler's capacity for mischief is not ended, but his ability to provoke a world war probably has been destroyed by the President. Because the United States now is allied with Great Britain and France to prevent Germany's violation of the treaties —not to mention the unwillingness of Italy and Russia to join Germany—Hitler's international power is virtually nil. At worst, Hitler conceivably might force international sanctions against Germany, but even that would be more apt to result in the overthrow of Hitler than a world war. To provoke a world war. Hitler must have powerful armed allies, and today even Italy hesitates to join him. After the Roosevelt declaration, it is less likely that Hitler will find foreign allies. • * # T>UT the far eastern crisis is more serious. Not only has Japan violated the treaties in the past, she is violating them now. President Roosevelt, after his discussion of the arms and economic conferences, added these significant words to his world message: "But the peace of the world must be assumed during the whole period of disarmament, and I, therefore, propose a fourth step, concurrent with and wholly dependent on the faithful fulfillment of these three proposals and subject to existing treaties: "That all the nations of the world should enter into a solemn and definite pact of noncggression. That they should solemnly reaffirm the obligations they have assumed to limit and reduce their armaments, and, provided these obligations are executed faithfully by all signatory powers, individually agree that they will send no armed force of whatsoever nature across their frontiers.” • • • "KTOT Germany, but Japan, is the nation which has sent its armed force across the frontier. At the very minute Tokio received Rocsevelt's declaration Japanese troops, having swept far beyond Manchuria, far beyond the

Great Wall, were approaching the very gates of the ancient Chinese capital of Peiping. There is the chief threat to the arms conference, to the treaties to world peace. As in the case of the mad Hitler, only if Japanese militarism is isolated by an international united front can the world save its peace machinery. This was the Hoover-Stim-son doctrine. It failed because of the British pro-Japa-nese policy and the HOover anti-Russian policy. Russia, the largest and strongest nation in the far east, was left out of the united front against her will. This break in the united front has been overcome in part by the President's inclusion of Russia directly in the list of nations receiving his message, and in his decision to deal directly with the Russians at the London conferences. This is Implied recognition, which doubtless will be followed by formal recognition. * • * T TITHERTO in every crisis since the World -*■ -*• war, the nations have been divided—the European powers on one or two sides, Russia off in another corner, and the United States in still another corner. Neither the Hitler menace nor the Japanese menace to world peace can be faced safely by a divided world. For the first time there is the possibility of a united world against war-makers—thanks to the statesmanship of the President of the United States. THE EVIL SPREADS r T''HE cry for legislation to abolish the sweatshop spreads, along with the evil itself. Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President last year, brings gloomy news. He says that the sweatshop evil is spreading from coast to coast. “Everywhere I go it’s the same story,” he says. “Through New England, in the middle west, the same tale of w’omen being forced to work for $2 and $3 a week. “It is going to take the most rigid regulation, both federal and state, to get us out of it.” Rigid regulation, both federal and state, is necessary. And it appears that the federal government is preparing to do its part. President Roosevelt, in his May 7 address to the American people, pledged the aid of his powerful administration toward eliminating sweatshjps. The states should not, however, sit back and wait for President Roosevelt to do what their own legislators should do. Success depends on the extent to which public sentiment is aroused at this time. Labor, civic and religious bodies are doing their bit by publicly stating their opposition to this great social and industrial evil. Other organizations, which to date have remained silent, should follow their example. MORE LIBERTY nPHE American Civil Liberties Union's an- **• nual survey this year Is important news. It records a marked improvement in the attitude of federal and state authorities toward the rights of the people to think, speak and write as they please. For the first time in years no American is doing time under a criminal syndicalism or sedition law in any state of the Union. Even in California and Pennsylvania, where political persecution has been most savage, no such cases are pending. True, in Illinois and Ohio charges under such laws have been filed against miners, and in Michigan and lowa farmers, for the first time, are to be tried. But the Democratic administration of Michigan has dismissed the 1922 syndicalism cases against W. Z. Foster and seventeen other Communists. Eight states this year passed anti-injunc-tion laws. Bills requiring teachers’ loyalty oaths were beaten In every state but Delaware. “There is no activity by federal government departments interfering with civil liberties,” the Union reports. “No cause of mall exclusion by the postoffice department are hanging fire. The department of labor has ceased persecuting alien radicals, yie new secretary having announced that the Wickersham report Is her ‘Bible.’ ” There remain, of course, the old issues to challenge lovers of justice and freedom. Mooney and Billings grow old and gray in their California cells. There is Scottsboro and the whole question of justice to Negroes. Centralia's I. W. W. victims still suffer. Atlanta is under the cloud of the 1930 “insurrection cases.” There remaJn also cases of police brutality in Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, the coal fields, the south. The campuses are far from free of witch-burners. Red squads and white mobs still menace order and law'. But these outbreaks of passion appear to be rare and of local rather than state and national origin. The condition is all the more remarkable in that we are in the fourth year of the country’s worst depression, with 13.000.000 men and women jobless, with many on the verge pf actual starvation. Chief credit must go, of course, to the new Roosevelt spirit of liberalism and tolerance. The Democrats at Washington and in most of the stat 6 capitals are living up to the democracy of Jefferson rather than that of Mitchell Palmer. The results for themselves. BUSINESS CONTROL 'TpO get a good understanding of the new relationship between business and government. all you have to do is contrast the attitude of President Franklin D. Roosevelt with that of his distinguished predecessor, T. R. Each took office at a time when the public was dissatisfied deeply with the way in which social values were behig ignored by the industrial and financial community. In each case the ordinary man felt that some realignment was necessary, although there w-as not in either case any general agreement on what should be done. And, in each case, there was a radical fringe eager to move along paths which might be theoretically admirable, but were pretty likely to be disastrous to practice. Theodore Roosevelt insisted that what had happened in business and industry was a direct concern of the government. He saw that society in self-protection must do something to restrain the profit motive, and the anti-trust laws came into his hands as the most effective weapon. There was little talk then of making the *

government a partner in industry—although it is interesting to remember that T. R. was not afiaid to threaten the anthracite coal barons with his direct government Intervention. It was his theory that the government could do all that was needed by exercising its supervision from the outside. Business was to be allowed to go its own way, but Uncle Sam was to be alert in the background with a big stick ready to rap any head that got too far out of line. That theory was followed without Important changes up to this year; but by the spring of 1933 it had become painfully evident that more than that was needVd. Government must not be content to keep industry from doing certain things; it must be ready to persuade or force industry to do things. Its control must be positive rather than negative. This, at any rate, seems to be the second Rooseveltian philosophy, as embodied in the legislation which now is taking shape. It is in marked contrast to the creed of the first Roosevelt; but it is worth noticing that it is a perfectly logical development from it. The contrast is more apparent than real. Once government has begun to exercise supervision over private business it can not turn back. —t -■ - SHIFTING POPULATION TT will be interesting to see whether the end of the depression will bring any change to the striking new shifts in American population growth. Figures compiled by the Scripps Foundation for Population Research show that during 1932 American cities as a whole decreased in population by more than 400,000 persons. Farm population, on the other hand, Increased in that year by 1.000,000. A great part of this undoubtedly is due to‘the depression. The cityward migration of farm youth was checked; and vast numbers of ex-ruralists who lost their city jobs retreated to their parents’ farm homes for the duration of hard times. Let prosperity come back and the old tendency probably would be resumed. But w r e can’t be quite certain about it. There are good reasons for believing that most of our cities are about as large now as they ever will be. A movement toward decentralization seems to have begun. How far is it apt to continue, and what wall its ultimate effects be? Cleveland councilman introduces an ordinance to make it “illegal to steal baseball equipment from teams that play in city parks.” Lots of people will agree that it, is about time stealing was made illegal in this country. More than 4.000,000 people in this country neither can read nor write, says the national advisory committee on illiteracy. Might send them to Germany, w’here they wouldn’t be allowed to, anyway. Market seems to be substantiating the rumor of a big rise, but personally we don’t take any stock in it. All work and no pay (for teachers) makes Jack a dull boy. Chicago labor union gangsters operate on the principle of all for one and gun for all.

M.E.TracySays:

MEASURED by what farmers have suffered, their strike can be justified. That, however, is dabbling in water gone by the mill. What farmers and all the rest of us have suffered demands looking ahead, not backward. We can not square accounts with the past. The best we can do is make things a little better in the future. Any farmer strike of this kind has no chance of success, except as it ties up business and threatens innocent people with loss. Haven’t we had enough of that to realize the folly of it? A country trying to climb out of depression must pull together. It can not do that effectively as long as any group holds others back. Being somewhat new to farmers, the strike idea undoubtedly intrigues them, but they would do well to talk it over with experienced labor leaders before going in too deep. Experienced labor leaders have shown a marked and commendable inclination to avoid strikes during this slump. From a practical standpoint, they have yielded to the slim chances of success which unemployment created. From the standpoint of social need, they have chosen to co-operate in behalf of the common good, regardless of the sacrifices it involved. tt tt tt IF farmers lacked sympathy or were being treated with indifference, a strike might be warranted to develop the right kind of public opinion and a more equitable policy on t-he part of the government. They face no such necessity, however. The administration is doing all it can to help them, and its course in this respect meets with widespread approval. Like all classes of people, the farmers have been victimized by an unexpected and unforeseen situation. Workers in many a trade have been hit quite as hard and have just as good reason to complain. City mortgages have been foreclosed and city home owners sold out. Old and reliable employes have lost their jobs; energetic, capable business men have lost their property; incomes and wages have been reduced all along the line. The fact that other people have suffered does not make the farmers’ lot any easier, but it does have a definite bearing on the wisdom of calling a farmers’ strike. Who will bear the loss? Who will be intimidated? Who will get mad? If it should come to a case of real hunger, would city people be more likely to flood congress with petitions to give the farmer what he wanted, or would they inaugurate foraging expeditions? tt a o JUST use your imagination. People never have been and never can be starved into sympathetic co-operation. Recovery does not lie in the erection of more trouble and less work. The farmer ought to be getting better prices, as every intelligent person admits, but how can he. until or unless other people get better wages? Does a farmer strike help them to do that? Improved conditions for each trade, profession anfi industry lie in puffing together. That is what President Roosevelt has been saying ever since he took office, and that is what forms the basis of his program. Every interruption of traffic, every interference with business, every tie-up of supplies, every lay-off of workers, means only so much ground to be regained. This is no time to think in terms of factional or sectional interest, or attempt to settle old scores. This is a time for disciplined action.

Your paper is one of the most unbiased organs in the middle west. The editorials explaining to a duped public the almost unheard of Rand School of Social Science and the complications that underlie the Rivera-Rockefeiler incident are, I hope, your debut into a different sort of journalism than Indiana h~s recently—if ever—experienced. While the other city presses were damning Diego Rivera for his actions concerning the Radio City murals, your attitude was unassuming and fair minded. Senor Rivera is unknown to Americans in general, although his new art is highly praised elsewhere. He safely may be termed the chief exponent of proletarian art. Into his canvases go a tender sympathy and rare charm combined with a beautiful forcefulness that compels the observer to fear that he will miss something if he does not look long enough. His depictions of workers, serfs, and slaves may go down in political as well as artistic history if his“work is not burned or he himself destroyed. Through sheer ability, he has overcome the shallow pollyanna art of Victorianism and he has more imitators than Sargent ever dreamed of having. I think he may be blamed only for optimism—or perhaps he gloried when the opportunity to refuse a Rockefeller was flung in his path. I hope you can afford to give readers more information on the Rand School of Social Science. The latest report is that John Dewey

The fates have a way, however, of aiding the fool killer and avoiding the wise and provident. Therefore, the family that wants to prevent disease on such a brief vacation will take along enough ordinary mosquito netting to keep away insects at night. While the average mosquito may not carry either malaria or yellow fever, it is an annoyance. Moreover, in the southern parts of the country and in the western sections there is the possibility of bits by insects that do carry diseases, including both mosquitoes and ticks.

HAVE you noticed how much better acting is done in the moving pictures by older people and how the men excel the women in this art? Both facts are explained easily. The older group, and especially the men, are not concerned with looking pretty. Lionel Barrymore has outdistanced his brother John, because the latter, as any audience can observe, is so intent upon getting his left profile at exactly the proper angle. The smooth-skinned adolescent feminine stars also are afraid to disarrange their marcels or to get their facial contours out of harmony and so they seldom really forget themselves in their parts. Not for nothing have awards of merit been given to Helen Hayes and Marie Dressier, two women who are not afraid to look homely when occasion demands.

Comedians are better box office bets than languishing ladies, because they have given up trying to be beautiful. They strive only, to be funny and to be funny they often must look absurd. It is a pity that so many promising girls have become nothing more impressive than clothes-racks upon the stage. Their ability has been suppressed by their desire to go to the head of the beauty class.

when they expect us to serve their "cause” by our propaganda. But we are supposed to do this because we are given a broad hint that our jobs depend upon it. We wouldn’t mind opposing a rate cut (even though our friends and relatives certainly would benefit by a cut) if it were the only basis on which our jobs depend. But it isn’t so! Reducing dividends that pay $9 a share to “our betters” is the correct way out. At a company meeting not long ago, I heard the remark that many persons who clamor for a rate cut don’t even have telephones. Os course not! Most people feel that rates are more than the average man of today can pay. And all because our company must get its last “pound of flesh” in dividends.

_MAY 17, 1033

It Seems to Me

=■ BY HEYWOOD BROUN XTEW YORK. May I.—l gather from the statements which have been authorized by the Rockefeller clan that their objections to the mural for Radio City depend upon artistic grounds rather than any quarrel with the economic philosophy of Diego Rivera. I observe it is asserted that his magentas and his scarlets are too red to fit neatly into the scheme of decoration planned for the great hall. In other words, the Mexican master is too gaudy for the austerity of the temple in which his work was to be housed. This theory interested me. and so I looked at the current announcements to find just what fare now is being offered in this pew cultural center of the city. Radio City Music Hall, I gathered from the billing, is the “show place of the nation.” For the inspiration and delectation of the intellectual there is being exhibited a picture called “The Warrior’s Husband,” and the seekers after truth and beauty are informed in readable type 'that the entertainment concerns a land “where women fight and do the chasing—where men are chaste! Laugh riot of the year." I think Diego Rivera can rest his case. ft tt ft Burning of the Books THEY burned the books, but there remains a red glow in the sky. The fuel of the foolish was curiously assorted. Upon the Nazi bonfire were piled the words of some who never glowed before. I had not thought to live into a day when sparks would fly from Morris Hillquit. The names of the great, the near great, and the never great came to the crucible along with the words of the lame, the halt, and the blind. Side by side the magnificent and the feeble words of those who merely meant well ascended to heaven. Unconsciously the Nazis paid a singular tribute of respect to certain authors of small fame and rather meager merit. What wouldn't I give to have some forgotten book of my own suddenly become fortuitously a part of a pillar of fire by night! I really must buckle and wvn to work and write something which Hitler does not like, to be in on the next illumination. Yes, and I will even consent to call it to his attention. Remarque, Ludwig, Mann, Karl Marx, Jack London, and Ben Lindsey! It sounds almost like what some of the book critics call “a balanced ration.” But why Ben Lindsey? He seems to me one of God’s noblemen and also among the most fearsomely bad writers who ever set an earnest pen to paper. They burned the books of Dr. Sigmund Freud. One of the barkers at the bonfire explained that the little man from Vienna had put too much stress upon “the animal qualities of human nature.”

U St tt Sikes and Aunt Martha ICAN NOT understand at all the philosophy of these nascent Nazis. They seem to be engaged upon a rather pitiful attempt to combine the school of blood and iron with sweet violets. If I can make it out, the accepted author must be a combination of Nietzche and Harold Bell Wright. It’s a swell trick if they can do it. But most of all I was interested in the burning of Dr. Freud. Sigmund Freud, like Karl Marx, is a writer who has been vastly discussed by millions who never looked at a line he ever wrote. To paraphrase a familiar spiritual; "Everybody talking about Marx ain’t gwine there. Revolution! Revolution! Gwine to walk all over Marx's revolution!” And in some respects Sigmund Freud is in an even better pasition than Karl Marx to get a pretty good chuckle for himself out of Nazi goings-on. The little man who led the first expedition into the darkest subconscious can afford to smile at the most amazing demonstration of national neuroticism the world has seen in our time. a a tt “Vse G wand pa” AN American correspondent who reported the address which Herr Gutjahr made as the bocks burned, writes: "It was a boy’s speech, and it was received with boyish enthusiasm.” I think Mr. Birchall might have gone a little further than that. It was, as a matter of sober fact, a child's set piece, and the whole enterprise represented a retreat from reality into infantilism. The I. Q. of the Hitler movement hardly can rate anything above 6 years of age. At that stage any one of us would like to dress up in a uniform and play with matches. But somebody really ought to tell Adolf’s adolescents that it isn’t funny any more. The first time I meet a Nazi fooling around writing things with chalk on nice, clean walls and sticking his penknife into the furniture. I purpose to fetch him a cuff over the side of the head and exclaim in a firm voice, ‘Naughty! Naughty!” (CoDvrizht. 1933. bv The Times)

And he and I, impulsive and unheeding, Will hush all questions in life with our eager lips. I doubt, even when that night comes, if I’ll forget Bathed in a singing light, this night of grieving— This night of recalling the glory when we met That shone in our eyes, past all but our love's believing. Love I may still give others; alone to you I offer a sprig of rosemary and of rue.
