TUESDAY. JUKE 27. 1333. THE G. 0. P. 800 'T'HE long-expected national Republican attack on the Roosevelt administration has begun. Representative Bertrand Snell, Republican leader in the house, has opened the offensive—doubtless after long consultation with the other G. O. P. generals. Mr. Snell objects to the new deal. He says it costs too much government money, and he says it has set up a system of “bureaucratic dictation ... in some respects equal to that of Russia.” In charging that the administration has not balanced the budget, he does not deny that it virtually has balanced the operating budget. But he objects to a separate extraordinary budget covering capital expenditures. Far from being tricky bookkeeping, as he charges, this system is used by most corporations. The fault is not in having an emergency budget, but in the failure during fat years to lay by a surplus for the lean years. The blame for this rests with the Republican administrations, which reduced taxes of the rich during prosperity and failed to build up an emergency reserve fund, as this newspaper pointed out repeatedly during the Mellon-Hoover reign. Emergency expenditures must be made during times of depression, even though the revenues are low, as the Hoover administration discovered with its five and half billion dollar deficit. The chief difference is that Hoover, Snell et al. poured government money in from the top—in the form of higher tariffs and Reconstruction Finance Corporation loans to big business—while the Roosevelt administration is seeking to put money in at the bottom to help the little fellow and to revive business by creating a mass purchasing power. There no longer is room for argument as to which is the more effective method. Three ! years of the Hoover method left the depression at its lowest level, not only depriving millions of jobs, but wrecking companies and banks. Three months of the Roosevelt method has produced a strong and steady rise in business activity and employment. To be sure, there is no absolute guarantee that the new deal will succeed permanently—the future may force even a more fundamental change as the price of survival. But whatever happens to the new deal, the old deal smashed itself so completely that it can never be put together again by all the Snells in the nation. There remains the G. O. P. charge that the new deal sets up a dictatorship, “in some respects equal to that of Russia.” The idea that Bernard Baruch, General Johnson, President Harriman of the United States Chamber of Commerce, Gerard Swope and other backers of the national industrial recovery act are Bolsheviks is too funny for serious discussion. And the notion that congress, in delegating to the President executive powers similar to those long exercised by American city managers, has transformed our democracy into an American Soviet indicates ignorance of affairs either in Washington or Moscow. But the main thing which Mr. Snell and his fellow Republican campaign strategists have to learn is that the American public no longer is frightened by the Russian bugbear. So long as the new deal works as well as during the last three months, Mr. Snell can shout Socialism, Communism, Fascism, Anarchism, or any other irrelevancy without provoking from the American public more than a satisfied grin. ORGANIZED LABOR’S ‘NEW DEAL’ AMONG the tremendous changes which were slipped into our national set-up almost unnoticed along with the industrial control bill, none is much more significant than the “new deal” given to organized labor. Even organized labor itself hardly seems, as yet, to realize what a sweeping new charter this bill has given it. But not more than a glance at the new system is needed to convince one that the whole face of the labor situation has been changed most profoundly overnight. A fair sample of the change can be seen in the bituminous coal industry. Here is an industry which has been about as essentially disorganized and competitive as any in America. It has witnessed some of the most appalling struggles between labor and capital: it has written some of the ugliest chapters in American industrial history. Today, while the operators are splitting into two camps in their attitude toward the impending governmental supervision, the United Mine Workers of America are working feverishly to unionize coal miners in every coal-producing state. President John L. Lewis is quoted as saying that 150,000 new members already have been enrolled. Union organizers are circulating freely in certain West Virginia and Kentucky fields which they never before even were permitted to enter. Thus before the main items on the industrial recovery program have had time to get their heads above water, organized labor seems to have made long strides toward winning a battle fought for generations. Unionization of the coal fields, with its accompanying improvement in the distressing conditions under which the miners have to live, is in a fair way toward being accomplished as a mere by-product of a larger struggle. It would be hard to overemphasize the importance of this. We have moved so fast and so far recently that we are quite likely to go a long way beyond the most advanced of the old-time objectives before we have realized that we are started. A year ago complete unionization of the coal fields looked like a Utopian dream. Now It bids fair to be a mere incident in a program that is infinitely larger and more daring.

MERIT OR SPOILS SYSTEM? From the Federal News (Newspaper of the National Federation of Federal Emploves.> ' | s WO personnel courses are open to the administrators of the new governmental agencies. • One Is to fill positions with political appointees. The other Is to employ persons of experience in the federal government machine, who have met the competitive requirements of the civil service. These two courses are open, but there is only one proper step. That is to re-employ the men and women with civil sendee qualifications and training, who, through absolutely no fault of their own, have been the victims of curtailed operations elsewhere in the federal government. There can be no questioning the wisdom of following such a policy. It is a course dictated by every consideration of sound and intelligent personnel practice, as well as by the elements of justice and fair play. The administration has set up the new emergency agencies not to provide jobs for so-called ‘deserving’ persons, but tc hasten the nation’s recovery. It follows logically that the chief consideration of administrators is to gain the most efficient and experienced workers to aid them in their monumental task. Such workers are to be found in the men and women whose names are on the lists of the civil service commission. They are men and women whose experience, efficiency and loyalty is not open to question in any particular. The administration, on numerous occasions before and since March 4, has emphasized its thorough belief in the merit system and its determination to uphold that principle. We are face to face with an opportunity for a clear-cut decision. The American people have given ample evidence of their faith in the merit system and their disgust with the spoils system. And they are watching anxiously the personnel policy to be pursued by the administrators of the new emergency agencies. That decision should be neither difficult to make, nor delayed in its affirmation and execution. A NEW ERA DAWNS A GREAT nation at work, with essential toil incidental to the creation of anew civilization in which culture will be paramount, was predicted by Miss Frances Perkins, secretary of labor, in an address recently in New York. “We recogfiize,” she said “that our mass •production system can not go on unless we consciously build up the purchasing power of the people who work in this country, and we ‘ are recognizing that out of the building up of this purchasing power—by artificial or other means—may come a blessing beyond anything we in our generation have ever dared to’dream of. . . . “Our activity in the production of things we need in the mere earning of a living is going to be incidental to the production of those great civilizing institutions, which, thank God, we have now become a people powerful enough, a people intelligent enough, to have and to share with all.” Therefore, she declared, the s*ople who take profits as investors are going to be satisfied with smaller returns and larger wages to the productive forces, to unify the country and to create the new civilization of which she speaks. All this is not in any sense visionary. It actually is the necessary basis of recovery. It is highly encouraging that President Roosevelt has in his cabinet persons who eagerly preach the doctrine of the new day while organizing its realization. ATOM & CO. T>IG game hunting in Africa, if it does not look out, will be supplanted in popular imagination by the explorations of scientists into the fastnesses of the atom. These scientists, in common with explorers of other branches of modern science, have reached a stage where they have produced something which the public can understand. At least the ordinary mortal now is able to appreciate that the atom, once considered the smallest entity, is a jungle, dark and prodigious, with cosmic dynamite hidden in it which man seeks to develop into a superpower. The Darkest Africa of the atom, the deuton, the neutron and the alpha particles, however, differs from the Darkest Africa known by explorers from Livingstone to Carveth Wells, contemporary African debunker, in this remarkable particular—that you can’t go big game hunting successfully in the atomic Jungle merely by hiring a guide and rigging up a costly expedition. Only the highly competent guides can go on these explorations. Fortunately, the guides, the Millikans of the new science, are becoming more articulate as they penetrate further. And there are more competent Stanleys going constantly in quest of the Livingstones lost in remote laboratories. Witness the newspaper reports on the fascinating papers read at the joint meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Physical Society in Chicago. Atom & Cos. are with us and growing. When the firm will be open and ready for business as a deadly rival to the tribe of the Insulls as power-venders to humanity is a question. If the big cannon being invented to liberate the energy in the atom succeed in capturing the imagination of the public, the Big Berthas of the field of mortal battle may lose some of their power over the fancies and the destructive passions of men. MOLEY CARRIES THE BALL 'T'HE sudden departure of Assistant Secretary Raymond Moley for the London conference, after a dramatic last-minute conference with President Roosevelt off the Massachusetts capes, is the sort of event that ought to appeal deeply to the football fan. It all looks, somehow, very much like that tense moment in which the coach sends in his star quarter back to save the game. The team seems to have been wobbling a bit. It has been getting its signals mixed, over at London; it has been missing tackles, and

fumbling, and showing other signs of disorganization. And now the new quarter back, after a final conference with the coach, dashes out to take his place in the lineup. What will happen next? Anew drive for the goal—a new solidarity and anew form of teamwork, anew bit of strategy that will prove irresistible? We can all hope so, at any rate. SPANISH JUSTICE TT must have made an Americana little bit melancholy to read the other day that Don Juan March Ordinas. the richest man in all Spain, has just completed a year In jail. This wealthy Spaniard, it develops, was a deputy to the Cortes, and he was accused of, bribing General Primo de Rivera, former dictator, to obtain the Moroccan tobacco monopoly in 1926; and all his millions couldn't keep him out of jail. Spain seems to have a different method of dealing with such folk than we have. In the United States, when some wealthy man bribes a high government official, we do a lot of talking about it, and we even make the wealthy gentleman come into court—but we don't, ordinarily, even come close to sending him to prison. It might be worth our while to find out how Spain does it. ADVICE TO THE JOBLESS ' I ‘'HE high school or college graduate who -*• is looking for a job this summer is in a pretty tough spot. It is very hard to tell him where to go to look for work; but one bit of advice can be given him without hesitation—- “ Don’t go to New York unless you already have a job there lined up.” A committee of the New York Welfare Council just has issued a warning to all young graduates pointing out that opportunities in the old home town are apt to be a lot better this summer for youthful job-seekers than they are in New York. “Unless you have friends or relatives here, an assured job or money enough to last a year, don’t come to New York,” the committee says; and this discouraging warning ought to be taken to heart by all ambitious graduates. This is no time for drifting off to the metropolis on the chance that something will turn up. Washington dispatch says United States’ treasury's “conscience fund” just has passed $600,000. There’s nothing in the record, however, to show that the latest contribution came from J. P. Morgan. Ex-President Hoover has been named li-' brarian at Stanford university, which leads one to wonder if his long experience in trying to balance the budget will prove of value in his new job of keeping the books. “President’s office to be air cooled”—Washington dispatch. Another step in the administration’s movement against sweat shops, we presume. Job-hunting college graduates should not become discouraged. John D. Rockefeller’s grandson just has succeeded in finding a job with the Standard Oil Cos. of New Jersey. / Weathering storms off the Atlantic coast must have been easy for President Roosevelt, considering the storms he has weathered in Washington since March 4. Stenographers have long been accused of being careless about their spelling, but most of them are very careful about their figures.

M.E.Tracy Says:

HAMPSHIRE. Connecticut and lowa line up for repeal. That leaves the score 14 to 0. The record is even more one-sided than that in iavor of the eighteenth amendment, and more impressive because in this instance the verdict is by popular vote. Drys still hope for a break, but they have little to base it on, except one or two states in the south and Kansas. Jouett Shouse is so sure of ultimate triumph that he challenges any dry to name six states that will vote against repeal. He probably would be safe if he reduced the number to four. The American people have made up their minds that temperance applies to law' as well as liquor. The eighteenth amendment was one of the most intemperate pieces of legislation ever enacted. As might be expected, it led to a wild orgy of lawlessness. Instead of less crime, we got more. Worse than all else, we got a widespread attitude of indifference and disrespect toward all law. 000 'T'HE diversion of revenue from government to racketeers was acompanied by a far more serious diversion of loyalty. The slump in patriotism and civic consciousness brought on by prohibition is as great a social disaster as the slump in business. It will take at least one generation to rebuild the confidence in constituted authority W'hich w T e have lost through this foolhardy experiment. The deterioration of public morale has had a direct bearing on the wekness of public policy from which all branches of government have suffered during the last thirteen years and justly may be charged with a large part of the breakdown. Indeed, there is ground for arguing that Volsteadism helped materially to aggravate the depression, not only by switching vast amounts of money into illegitimate channels, but by alienating popular support of law-enforcing agencies all along the line. Prohibition merely was one more phase of that impractical idealism by which we assumed that society w’ould make men over. While it h#d been advertised, sold, and promoted by seventy years of campaigning in this country, it was undoubtedly clinched by the war spirit. 000 TI7AR spirit always is dangerous, because it * * involves the suppression of every natural instinct to insure physical success. In this connection, we still are dealing with conceptions and ideas bom of war propaganda and intended to create an illusionment that w-ould make men willing to die. People throughout the world were drugged into a fervor of patriotism with promises of what would happen if they won. Operating through a highly organized system of publicity, statecraft dangled all sorts of impractical dreams before the eyes of a bewildered humanity. There would be no more war. no more oppression, no more tyranny, if the kaiser were whipped, and drunkenness would go the way of all other sins. It was not a conflict to revolutionize politics, but human nature.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

(Times readers are invited to express in these columns. Make your letters short, so all can have a chance. Limit them to SSO words or less.) By H. L. Seeder. The South Bend News-Times let out a big howl over the fact that 15 billion out of 37 billion of the American income of 1932 went to support local, state and national governments. In normal times, the national income of 90 billions compared to 37 billion in years of sweatshop wages and starvation prices does not place a burden on the public that demands every type of public service from care of children to building of battleships. Something for nothing, is, of course, the great American sport. That is why Wall Street gets the suckers and shears the sheep. Tax payments are not a tribute, any more than railroad fare is for transportation, but many want to ride on a pass when it comes to taxes. The “inability” of the capitalistic machine to keep income up to the normal 90 billion distorted the ratio of public requirements to private income; this can not be balanced by cutting off public needs, but by raising national income to where it belongs and distributing it so that both private and public bills can be paid. Os course, when the “kitty” got practically all the chips in the national income poker game, the game went haywire. It is easy to rave over public expense and maintain silence on the gouging of wages. We do not live so far apart that destruction of normal life does not affect all of us. The functions and services of the public rendered for taxes are far above the values rendered in the normal channels of business, dollar for dollar. We have tolerated the greed and stupidity of our economic machine

TTTHILE it is true that the ’ medical profession does not know as yet the cause of cancer or any certain method for relief except early diagnosis and surgical removal or treatment with radium and the X-ray, there are certain facts that have been well established. In the first place, it has been quite w T ell shown that cancer is not contagious. The person who has it does not easily transmit it to any other # person, and it is quite safe to be in a room with a person who has cancer or to attend him as one attends a person with any other non-contagious disease. It is fairly certain that diet is not in any way related to the cause of cancer or to the relief from cancer, All sorts of tests and studies have been made, bqt with negative results. Proponents of whole w'heat have urged that the eating of refined foods causes cancer, and another group says that eating food cooked in aluminum utensils causes can-

r T'HE last four years have been 1 particularly hard on lovers. In many instances, marriage was out of the question in a jobless universe. And that is the cruelest tragedy that has come out of our bloody war game and the mad orgy of gambling that followed it. The couples, however, who do manage to marry these days probably have a better chance for happiness than those who stepped off during the era of Coolidge prosperity. They are beginning as their fathers and mothers began—on nothing. And nothing is a good point to work up from. Because life for them will be for a while a bitter economic struggle, they may muddle through to permanent marriage and lasting love. The girls who marched to the altar decked in white satin and

Loan Shark Evil By Disgusted. TT CERTAINLY is a pleasure to be able to read the classified add section of The Times without being “grinned at” by a dozen or more loan shark advertisements. Os course, those w’ho think know why the nearly total absence of loan shark advertisements exists. The Times is the only Indianapolis paper that calls a spade a spade, and knows that interest at the rate of 42 per cent interest was a crime even in the days of Nero. Ancient history mentions usurers charging 40 per cent interest in those days, and also states that they were outlawed by society and prosecuted. A recent bank failure hearing developed the fact that two different persons were drawing SSOO a month each out of the petty loan concern, although their services at the same time were paid for at a high rate by the bank. This thousand dollars came from people in dire and- desperate circumstances, and, of course, was only a small part of the total profit made. One has to be in an awful state of mind to place himself in the clutches of the loan shark. I know from personal experience. / This is the main idea I want to express. This country and state long enough. We hope to control a!id guide it through the industrial recovery act. Failure there will spell the end of private ownesship of industry and will compel social ownership to produce and distribute the products of industry. Dollars represent only the share of the products in terms of distribution. This sharing must meet every public and private need for a decent standard of living. That’s America’s job.

Editor Journal of the American Medical Association of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. cer. There fc not the slightest scientific evidence to support either of these points. Experiments on mice have shown there are certain hereditary factors in cancer. However, there is no scientific evidence that under the conditions of human marriage there is any tendency to perpetuate cancer in certain families. In other w’ords, so far as the human being is concerned, the hereditary factor does not seem to be very important. Among other common conditions possibly related to cancer is constipation, and the drinking of alcohol. There has been some question as to whether or not the increase in smoking may not be associated with cancer of the tongue, and it has been urged that the drinking of exceedingly not drinks may serve as a source of constant irritation and thus tend to the development of cancer of the stomach. Absolutely established is the fact that neither mental worry nor ex-

have for the last thirteen years foolishly tried to prohibit beer and liquor, for the questionable reason that it is harmful. Is anything more harmful to a family than to borrow money at 42 per cent, when the very fact that the money is borrowed proves the need of better financial management? The only form of prohibition we need in this state is the prohibition of loan shark activities. Why should a person be allowed to wreck himself financially when a little sober advice from the right source would show him that it is foolish, and so' very expensive? Let the state set up a department for this purpose and loan money to people at a decent rate of interest. The loan shark money really comes from banks which loan millionaires money at 6 per cent and then reach the pauper by going through the loan shark offfice at 42 per cent. Let’s stop this.

So They Say

Most teachers of French in our senior high schools would have to have an interpreter in Paris—Dr. George Willard Frasier, president of Colorado Teachers’ college. We have substituted the “alfresco” method of international discussion for the “corner cupboard’ ’type that so long ruled and ruined the world. —Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war. Graft, of larger or smaller proportions, seems to be widely accepted as a more or less inevitable incident of government. President James Rowland Angell of Yale.

ceeding cheerfulness control the causation or disappearance in any way. It is not possible to cause a cancer to disappear by adopting a cheerful attitude toward it. Moreover, such an attitude may lead to neglect of the possibility of surgical removal or treatment by radium or X-ray in the early stages when relief by these methods is possible. Although young people occasionally have cancer, it is essentially a disease that occurs beyond middle age. The mental attitude never should develop into cancer phobia, or unwarranted fear of cancer. Such an attitude does not help the condition in any way. It is desirable that people who have such fears have complete and prompt examination and, if after such examination they are given a negative answer, they may consider their fears as without warrant. Do not procrastinate with the possibility of cancer. The occurence of any unusual lumps or of any persistent and unusual bleeding from various organs of the body demands immediate examination.

The muscles of her mind already have toughened in her battle with circumstance. Her soul has been steeled with patience, and she long since has learned the virtue of courage. In many; ways, therefore, she is fitted for the role of wife. And so I believe and hope that the boy and the girl who decide to tackle the hard job of marriage now' have a good chance to win. Given only a few' lucky breaks, they should be successful. Erom the very start they will have to co-operate in all their efforts, to stand by each other, to pull together. Like their forefathers of old, they are building their homes upon the wreckage of a fallen civilization. Theirs will be the job of making anew world. We, who are unworthy, wish them luck and godspeed.

It Seems to Me ‘==BY HEYWOOD BROUN YORK, June 27.—The cop is a curious person and most gravely misunderstood. Much after the manner of Mr. Lecky's strange woman, he is blasted for the sins of the system. He is the first and most prevalent symbol of law and order, and nobody really likes law and order, no matter whar you may hear in the commencem*nt orations. "Pull over to the curb.” or “Move on, there,” never rings pleasantly in the ear. I have seen policemen behave very badly, and I have seen them show not only great courage, but superb tact, I grant that thus latter quality is not exactly rampant on the force. Courage is. Even in its most corrupt days and phases, the force in New York always Las had its heroes. In the last few years the job of being a policeman has become increasingly arduous. The growth of radicalism has imposed new and difficult responsibilities. A veteran on the force was sighing for the good old days. “The way things now are.” he complained, “somebody sneezes in Asia Minor and two cops get hurt in Union Square.’’ 000 Cop and Communists T THINK that the average policeman is justified in being a little puzzled when he is called out to mill around with men and women bearing banners inscribed "Defend the Chinese Soviets." It is not altogether unreasonable for him to say, “Why fight with me. buddy? I haven’t done anything to the parties you refer to. I haven't even seen a Chinaman all afternoon.” The complications of radical politics are so intricate that the average patrolman sometimes grows confused as to the ins and outs of the Lovestone movement and Mr. Foster’s party. If you ask him to explain just where A. J. Muste stands or what is the position of Edmund Wilson, he probably would flunk the examination. But, so might Edmund Wilson, for that matter. Both sides have agreed on a simplification of the problem involved. To the cop anybody who gets up on a stepladder to make a speech is a dangerous red and will bear watching. The radicals, on the other hand, have agreed that all cops are cossacks. But this short cut is too easy to be true and causes clashes which are sometimes unnecessary. Apparently the invitation to workers of hand and brain to unite never has been construed broadly enough to include the cop. And yet he is as proletarian as the next one. He certainly is exploited, and there never has been a police force in which more members profited by graft than suffered because of it. 000 Theirs Not to Reason TN the field of higher ethics it sometimes has been argued that no lawyer ever should take a case unless he feels certain of the righteousness of his client’s contentions. This system is not followed invariably by lawyers. It isn’t followed by cops at all. It wouldn’t be quite practical. For instance, the other night the College of the City of New York staged a combined police parade and commencement. If there is any generosity in the soul of Dr. Robinson he should see to it that the captain of the precinct is awarded an LL.D. During the last year the police have played a larger part in the administration of this institution of learning than the professors. And yet I hardly see why the boos and the southpaw cheers should go to the poor cop who stands on the corner and says, "Keep moving.” After all. he didn’t put Dr. Robinson in office. He isn’t in any true sense of the word keeping him there. Without doubt the policeman would much prefer a college president more capable of functioning without the collaboration of the cops. 000 No Fun for Police r I 'HERE are many more pleasant police assignments than playing stooge to a baccalaureate sermon. How would you like it if you lost your day off by being sent to Lewiston stadium to listen to a patriotic exhortation by Governor McNutt of Indiana? Plenty of police would rather have an evening at home than trail around under the responsibility of seeing to it that Dr. Robinson doesn’t lose his umbrella. If you got a cop alone for fifteen minutes off duty, I don’t think it would be too dreadfully difficult to convince him that the little man with the big police whistle is a very silly sort of person to be running a college. But the cop upon whom extra duty has been imposed naturally is going to be a little cranky in the first place. And his temper doesn’t get any better when people surge around him saying, "Down with the cossacks!” A cop, even as Ibsen’s Nora, is before all else a human being. (Coovrisht. 1933, bv The Times!
