WEDNESDAY AUO. 9 1933 HOMECOMING ' | TIAI was a great party Senator Arthur Robinson hart last Sunday in celebration ol his return to his native soil No one would begrwlg** him such a pleasant social occasion, particularly since it is extremely likely that he will be coming back to Indiana to stay at the close of his present, term in Washington. Still, now that the bands have ceased, the breast-beating has stopped, and the great, big Amf*rican flags have been folded away, a cool squirt of reasoning may be pertinent. The Senator is prone to speak of his fondness for his flag. Surely it is not unkind to inquire just how rejwes ntative he has been of the great principles for which that flag stands. In the first amendment of the Constitution these words appear: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." There is no mistaking the intent of such sentence The founders of the nation made It clear that the United States stood unequivocally for the right of every man to worship God as he saw fit. The American flag guarantees that. Several years ago this state fell temporarily under the dominance of an organization known as the Ku-Klux Klan. which stupidly flouted this fundamental principal of Americanism The former great dragon of the Klan now is serving a life sentence in prison for the revolting murder of an innocent girl. Senator, were you ever a member of the KuKlux Klan? Did you ever speak before a meeting of this misguided and bigoted group? Did you ever renounce Klan support at a time when it would have been politically inexpedient for you to do so? What was your connection, if any, with the Klan? There is no harm in asking, particularly from a person who makes such constant platform references to his devotion to the American ideal. Now turn to the Senator’s record on another great movement in representative government —the revamping of the laws governing the sale of liquor, so that racketeering may be eliminated, new revenues flow to a distressed treasury, and true temperance be promoted. No need to inquire how Senator Robinson stands on this question He has voted consistently against every liberal measure on the wet-dry issue. But. Senator, why Is it that, since Indiana voted overwhelmingly for repeal of the eighteenth amendment, you never have said one word about this important public question? You used to be vocal enough about It. Surely you are not afraid of these "wets” whom you used to lambaste with such vigor. You used to be the plumed knight for the dry forces. If you were so honestly convinced a year ago. how Is it that your crusader's sword now is sheathed? Let us glancp for a moment at your latest enthusiasm—the veteran of the World war. You think he is being ill treated Certainly The Indianapolis Times will agree with you that the men actually injured in service and the dependents of those who died in the war are getting an extremely bad break. But your remarks on Sunday were addressed to the veterans as a whole. We gather that you think the bonus should be paid in full immediately Indeed, you introduced a bill to that effect, although you must have known it had no chance for passage You didn't introduce that bill merely In the hope of scaring up a few votes at home, aid you. Senator? Omitting discussion of the merits of the bonus question, where in the world. Senator, did you think the money was coming from to meet the costs of your bill, had it chanced to pass? It is quite true that the railroads. Wall Street, and the shipping interests did rather a thorough job of looting the national treasury during and immediately after the war. But that was a long time ago. You don't think that two wrongs ever added up to a right, do you? You spoke of the cost of the conservation camps and said that this money should have been given to the veterans You know, of course, that the conservation work is an emergency measure, while pensions for able bodied veterans are a current, year-to-year expense? Suppose a man is makmg SSO a week. His current expenses are S4B weekly. His budget •Is better than balanced. In a serious family emergency, his credit is good and he can borrow several hundred dollars to meet it. But if he is making SSO and is spending $52. he can't borrow and in an emergency he •isin a bad jam The United States government does not differ from the individual in . this respect. • You are aware of this fundamental business principle aren't you. Senator? You have said nothing about the Klan since it became unpopular. Your record is the sam on prohibition. Can the minority of war veterans who now ; are relying on you continue to do so if their • cause becomes unpopular? I You aren't Just a desperate gentleman try- ■ lng to cling to a well-paid Job are you, Sen- ' ator? CHILDREN GLORIFY WAR A" N astonishing reflection of the jingoistic teaching in American elementary schools Is found in the report of a test given 370 * American school children In a survey being t made by two professors at Teachers college. Columbia university. Fifty-eight per cent thought that most • foreigners are less. Intelligent than Americans More than a third saw danger of the United States being attacked by some other country within a year. Forty-five per cent thought that critics of tbe government should be sent out of the #

country. About half believed that the United States should not lead in attempts to reduce armies and navies: half held that all American soldiers and sailors are wefi behaved One-third held that the greatest honor would bet 0 wear the uniform of the army or navy. Forty-six per cent believed every boy should have army training and 71 per cent thought that every park should have a cannon or a military statue to glorify past wars and heroes. The same children—aged 10 to 15—had no knowledge concerning the agencies for world peace a third thought the Kellogg peace pact manufactured breakfast food Half said they thought Uncle Sam should collect every dollar of the war debts, As the sapling, so the tree Children between 10 and 15 naturally romanticise hardy exploits such as war But behind that natural inclination lies the traditional history book glorification of war and subordination of constructiveness. Behind it also lies a teacher-fear of the social reproof which traditionally has punished par isle leanings. School board members usually are conservators of the old and outworn. We glorify the barbarism out of which we seek to arise. If history books were written and history taught with a preponderant view to the future the whole basis of American education and life might be remade. But we do not Therefore, nearly half of the 370 school children believed that the country is in danger of being attacked within a year.

GIVE CUBANS A CHANCE 'T'HE Cuban situation is grave, not only for the Cubans who are being terrorized and butchered, but also for the United States, which may drift into military intervention, with all the unforeseen consequences which might result. For most Americans the popular thing is to blame Machado, the dictator. But the United States is equally to blame. We are reaping what we sowed. Machado could not have lasted without the support of Wail Street and the state department. His terrorism early produced popular revolt. The Cuban people were ready to exercise the inalienable right of revolution against a tyrant. But always the tacit threat was held over them of American military intervention—in favor of Machado. For several years the Cuban patriots tried to get the state department to declare a hands-off policy, permitting the Cuban people to deal with Machado. But always the state department refused. Indeed, the state department continued its active support of the terrorist government almost to the point of partnership. President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull are not to blame. They inherited the mess. The Roosevelt policy has been neither very good nor very bad. It has followed a middle-of-the-road course, calculated tc do as little good as harm. Perhaps If the President had not been so overburdened with emergency domestic problems in the spring, he would have taken a stronger course in Cuba by withdrawing diplomatic support from Machado and indirectly cutting off the dictator from his friends in Wall Street. Instead, the President chose to dicker with Machado on the theory that the leopard might change lus spots. That method now has failed, even under the skillful Ambassador Welles The disadvantage of this method has been the periietuation of Cuban terror The advantage has been the exhibition of patience by Roosevelt which should impress Cubans and Latin Americans that the United States today is not seeking excuses to use a big stick. Os course. Machado has turned on his old friend, the state department. President Roosevelt is to be praised for his statement that he has no intention of sending Amreican troops. Such intervention would be legal under the Platt amendment and the treaty. Indeed, under ihat protectorate status, it is the specific duty of the United States to guaranteed Cuban rights and liberties, but only when the Cubans are unable to defend those rights themselves. Machado should be told—and he apparently has been told—that the United States no longer will protect him that he must choose between peaceful wiyidrawal and the revolution which has beers 'held in check too long.

A CODE FOR GYPSIES forsakes its last stronghold. 1 Even the gypsies in far-off Rumania have succumbed to the modern-day craze for organizing. mining, and regulating No longer will their caravans wander over the open roads, and their camp fires light the woods at twilight. They are to have an association with headquarters—permanent—and with officers, by-laws, and all the appurtenances of the typical society. Also, they'll have a newspaper, a university, and a library. But worst of all, the black tents are to give way to rest houses, where the gypsies may stay until they can find work Work, mind you. It's too bad, this modernization of the freest people in the world, who alone have seemed to have the secret of doing what they pleased and going where they pleased, with utter disregard of the rest of the world. AN EVER-WIDENING CIRCLE 'T'HERE has been much discussion of how many people will be given work as a consequence of NRA s establishment of a work week of thirty-five hours in factories and forty hours in the so-called white-collar pursuits. The National Industrial Conference board attempts to give a partial answer. It estimates that 838.000 additional factory workers would be needed to maintain the output as of May of this year, and 841.000 workers in "other pursuits." This is a total of 1.680.000. The figure does not. of course, make allowances for increayd activities which would result in many wajp from the return of this number to work. Nor does it include those who are returning to work as a result of the general upturn in business. Apparently there Is no way to make a definite calculation. Higher pay rolls bring Increased consumption, and increased consumption brings more jobs. The theory is that the recovery process will qperate in an ever-widening circle.

IS EUROPE NEAR WAR? IJENRY MORGENTHAU. American dele- -*■ gate to the international wheat conference. reports that Europe is bristling with arms and seething with the spirit of war The fear of war. he said, was hanging over every European delegate at the conference, and I this was one of the reasons no agreement for limiting wheat production could be reached: the nations wanted to raise and store gram for : use in event of war. France, he pointed out, had subsidized wheat growers. Mr Morg*mthau has had much diplomatic experience and is a keen observer. Europe un- : doubtedly is armed to the hilt, as he says, and Is filled with international suspicions and jealousies. but there have been some evidences than the war spirit was less prevalent than last spring, when President Roosevelt issued his memorable address to fifty-four nations, warning of the danger of war | For one thing. Soviet Russia during the ecoj nomic conference signed a series of nonj aggression pacts with nations along its southI *>rn borders, which it has been believed generally will minimize greatly the dangers of trouble. and do much toward destroying the fear of i the smaller nations. Mussolini's four- power peace pact, signed ! by his own country. France, Britain, and Ger- ! many, pledging those nations not to engage in offensive war. is in effect. The Hitler government of Germany has shown a disposition to be more conciliatory in its foreign relations, and tension between Germany and France seems to have eased in some j dpgree At present negotiations are in progress looking to formation of a Danubian pact, which would do much to eliminate the friction between France and Italy. Czechoslovakia. Yugoslovakia Rumania. Hungary, Austria, and Italy, would be signatories to a treaty covering economic and political issues, which would open the way for recovery of the Danubian states. France, while not a party to the negotiations. has given her consent, necessary because of her influence over the smaller states. All in all. at least some improvement in international relations has been brought about, even if the situation is loaded with danger, as Mr. Morgenthau points out. EASTMAN’S ADVICE JOSEPH EASTMAN, federal railroad co- ** ordinator. has one of the more difficult jobs in the new deal. His task Is to promote economies in railway operation. Economies usually mean discharging men. But. under the act Co-ordi-nator Eastman administers, this fortunately Is prevented. Mr. Eastman, recognizing that he and his agency constitute part of the Roosevelt recovery machine, has asked railway managements to put as many men as possible back to work. He also has addressed the railway executives in behalf of reductions of their own large salaries. Railroads should heed the requests of the federal co-ordinator, especially since the interstate commerce commission just has decided to keep up freight rates. Unless the railroads : employ more men. they will be out of line with other industries under the recovery plan. Notice that Clark Gable had his appendix removed the other day out on the coast. Another big Hollywood opening. Chorus girls now working under NR A code, with restrictions on hours. After-hours - gold-digging, however, is not classed as work. That's still a pleasure.

jM.E.TracySays:

IN asking the New York legislature to pass a law making the payment of ransom to kidnapers a felony. Governor Lehman merely expresses the principles of good government, public interest and social justice. Infliction of the death penalty for kidnaping would not appear to be so essential. As every criminologist knows, the certainty of punishment does more good than the severity. Fifty or even twenty-five years' imprisonment would be enough to discourage kidnapers if a reasonable percentage of them drew it. The crime has not flourished because the punishment was so light, but because so many cases resulted in a good profit and no punishment whatever. Promises of ransom and immunity coupled with the willingness of law enforcement officials to step aside so that they could be carried out. is at the bottom of this epidemic of body-stealing. Every family that has paid, or offered to pay. can be charged justly with encouraging thus detestable form of blackjacking. As Governor Lehman says, “in this warfare, we can not afford to consider the feelings or interests of an individual when it conflicts with the safety and welfare of the people as a whole.” From a strictly personal standpoint. It would seem quite proper for parents or relatives to buy back loved ones, especially if they can afford to do so. but from a social standpoint it is a pernicious, futile, destructive method. a a a IT serves little purpose except to jeopardize the safety of an incalculable number of people, to promote one of the most cussed rackets ever Invented, to put money in the hands of a peculiarly detestable class of thugs and to make a mockery of the law There is no doubt that if people were willing to pay thieves they could get back a lane* proportion of stolen goods, or if murder were made subjects of barter and sale much of it could be prevented but only at the price of wrecking constituted authority and social order. We have learned the risk of compounding felonies, in other lines, but we s?em to have forgotten that it constitutes the same kind of a risk in kidnaping We do not excuse people who harbor or conceal murderers, who pay to have their buildings set on fire, or who encourage traitors, yet the recent record shows an astounding degree of tolerance for kidnapers. a a a IN some instances, we actually have applauded pledges of pay and immunity, have argued that, under similar circumstances, most any of us would do the same thing and have allowed the impression to get abroad that it was all right for the prosecutors and police to remain quiet, to facilitate negotiations with the criminals. You Just can't conceive a frame of mind better calculated to promote crooked enforcement. We actually have fattened the psychology of gang rule, have exposed ourselves to an unnecessary and illogical amount of trouble, actually have set the stage for our worst elements to strut their stuff. The remedy does not lie in compromise but n extermination. By no stretch of the imagination can the practice of kidnaping be >quared with social sanity. By no stretch of .he imagination can tbe payment of ransom, :he connivance with criminals, the idea of protecting thugs for the sake of personal mter;*t, be reconciled with the principles of sound government, *

I am a Negro. 24 years old. the father of four children, and have lived in Indianaiiolis since birth. There is no way in the world for any one to tell I have Negro blood, for I look the same as any white man. I do not try to pass for anything but what I am. a half-breed Negro, but what I would like to do is to get a job where it doesn’t make any difference what a man is, so long as he is a clean-cut, honest fellow. I have had several jobs from which I have been fired, for that reason and that reason only. Somebody always is busy looking after my welfare instead of his own,. Is there a place in the world for a man like me? If so. where is it? I am urging all my friends to purchase their gas and oil from the company for which I now work, because its competitors do not believe l in employing a Negro for a job higher than a janitor or to pick up trash at their stations.

THE control of the carriers of typhoid fever represents one of the mast difficult problems confronting physicians and health officers today. The carrier of typhoid fever is a person who has within his body the germs of the disease, and who spreads them about in his excretions and secretions, and through the soiling of his hands and later in handling food If health departments watch these, people too closely, thev are likely to seek cover and then can never be reached. In some states attempts have been made to bupport such carriers at the expense of the state in order to control them, but this is an expensive procedure and really serves no valuable purpose, because many carriers simply take the money and are careless anyway. In most instances, the germs are carried in the gall bladder. Recently, Drs George H Bigelow and G. W. Anderson have considered the possibility of attempting to

SOMETIMES when me l start talking about women, you’d think they were discussing an altogether different species of animal. Hendrik Van Loon, for instance, announces that the modern woman is very unhappy since she has had her freedom , I wonder now whether Mr. Van Loor. would have us think that the modem man. with all his liberties in his pocket, is skipping about for jry these days? I hope the time will come when men. especially intelligent ones, can think of women as individuals and not as a mere massed sex formation. This, however, seems to put too much of a strain upon their reasoning capacity. So, viewing the general misery all about and th# speeifl# misery

They report fourteen instances in which people who had typhoid bacteria constantly in the gall bladder were submitted to removal of the gall bladder, nine of them primarily to get rid of the germs n the gall bladder and the other three because of some coincidental disease of the gall bladder. In these cases the typhoid fever had occurred some years before the operation, and in all but four of the cases the germs, actually were found in the bile removed from the gall bladder just before the operation.

There is no doubt but the sewage should be taken care of. but why single out Morgan as the arch enemy of the public, when, in fact, he has done more for that community than all the howlers ever did? As to cattle dying from the ditch. I owned a place and lived on that ditch at one time and never lost any stock from that cause. Also have a neighbor whase farm is along said ditch and never h?ard ar.y comolaint from him. I still own a farm in that community and know that fishermen and hunters are a far greater nuisance than the sewage. They tramp down your fences, cut your timber and are a general nuisanc®. and these are the fellows who yell the loudest. In conclusion, will sav this seems to be more politics than anything else. I am a Democrat but don't think it is fair to single out Morgan because of his politics when he has done mop for that community than all the fishermen or howlers down there.

tients were no longer a menace from the point of view of distributing typhoid germs. It is not possible to state definitely how many typhoid fever carriers there are in the United States. The health department of Massachusetts knows definitely of between seventy-five and one hundred in that state, but estimates that there are probably 1,100 Carriers in the state who could be detected by careful investigation. There is a report of one investigation available which indicates twenty-one cases of typhoid fever, three of which were fatal, traced in a single year to seven previously recognized carriers. Inasmuch as the cost of one case of typhoid fever is bound to be at least SSOO. the bill for typhoid fever developed from carriers is far beyond any cost that might accrue from assembling all of the carriers in any community and taking necessary measures to free them of their menace to the community.

attached woman—is no whit more unhappy than the free unattached man. She only appears to be. since she labors under the disadvantage of having to assume unconcern, instead of putting up an aggressive campaign for a mate. Perhaps this privilege would do much to alleviate her miseries. Freedom never yet has added to the unhappiness of any individual. It is the misuse of freedom that does all the dirty work. And the assumption that women in the past, enslaved by a thousand bonds, always were happy, is one of those sentimental conclusions at which we arrive without any help from the facts. A good many of those old-fashioned home bodies were too stupid to be discontented.

It Seems to Me = BY HLYTYOOD BROUN

VIEW YORK Aug 9—'You may have heard writes Reporter Unemployed, "that, although the newspapers are carrying the bulk of NRA publicity a number of the publishers themselves ere planning to cheat NRA re-employment aims The newspaper publishers are toying with the idea of classifying their editorial staffs as 'professional men. Since NRA regulations do not cover professionals, newspaper men. therefore, would continue in many instances to work all hours of the day and any number of hours of the week. “The average newspaper man probably works on in cight-hour-a-day and six-day-w >ek b isis Obviously the publishers, by patting their fathead employes on the head and calling them professionals.' hope to maintain thus working week scale. And they'll succeed, for the men who make up the editorial staffs of the country are peculiarly susceptible to such soothing classifications as professionals.' journalists.' members of the fourth estate.' gentlemen of the press and other terms which completely have entranced them by falsely dignify.ng and glorifying them and their work. B St St White-Collar Hacks ‘•'T'HE men who make up the X papers of this country never would look upon themselves as what they really are—hacks and whitecollar slaves.

Why, that's all right for dopes like printers, not for .'.mart guys like newspaper men!' "Yes, and those dopes.* the printers. because of their union, are getting on an average some 30 per cent better than the smart fourth estaiers. And not only that, but the printers, because of their union and because they don't permit themselves to be called liigh-faiuting names, now will benefit by the new NRA regulations and have a large number of their unemployed reemploved, while the smart’ editorial department boys will continue to wi.rk forty-eight hours a week because they love to hear themselves referred to as professionals' and because they consider unionization as lowering their dignity." a a a Keeping Hypocrisy Out 1 THINK Mr. Unemployed's point is well taken. I am not tanuliur with just what code newspaper publishers have adopted or may be about to adopt. But It certainly will be extremely damaging to the whole NRA movement it the hoopla and the ballyhoo (both very necessary functions) are to be carried on by agencies which have not lived up to the fullest spirit of the* recovery act. Any such condition would poison the movement at its very roots. I am not saying this from the point of view oi self-interest. No matter how short they make the working day. it still will be a good deal longer than the time required to complete this stint. And as far as the minimum wage goes. I have been assured by everybody I know that in their opinion all columnists are grossly overpaid. They almost have persuaded me. Alter some four or five years of holding down the easiest job in the world. I hate to see other newspaper men working too hard. It makes me feel self-conscious. It embarrasses me even more to think of newspaper men who are not working at all. Among this number are some of the best. I am not disposed to talk myself right out of a job, but if my boss does not know that he could get any one of forty or fifty men to pound out paragraphs at least as zippy and stimulating as these, then he is far less sagacious than I occasionally have assumed. Fortunately, columnists do not get fired very frequently. It has something to do with a certain inertia in most executives. They fall readily into the convenient conception that columnists are something like the weather. There they art, and nobody can do anything much about it. Os course, the editor keeps hoping that some day it will be fair and warmer, with brisk northerly gales. It never is. but the editor remains indulgent. And nothing happens to the columnist. At least, up till now.

Bosses 1 Hare Met IT is a little difficult for me. in spite of my radical leanings and training and yearnings, to ac- | cept wholeheartedly the conception of the boss and his wag® slaves All my very many bosses have been editors, and not a single Legree in the lot. Concerning ever. - one of them, it was possible to say, "Oh, well, after 'all, he used to be a newspaper man I himself ." But the fact that newspaper editors and owners are genial folk I hardly should stand in the way of ! the organization of a newspaper 1 writers’ union. There should be one. Beginning at 9 o'clock on the morn--1 ing of Oct. 1, I am going to do the best I can to help in getting one up I think I could die happy on the opening day of the general strike if I had the privilege of watching Walter Lippmann heave half a , brick through a Tribune window at a non-union operative who had been called In to write the current 'Today and Tomorrow" column on the gold standard. iCopvriKh*. 1333. bv Thv T’.rr.sl I Found Life BY CHRISTIE RUDOLPH O. calm integrity that comes when day is through.
