SATURDAY. At;o 28, 1933 FOREIGN NAVY PROPAGANDA * b ’HE anticipated naval propaganda from abroad has begun. According to London and Tokla dispatches. th* peace-loving British oi.d Japanese governments are forced to enlarge their navies to keep up with the Roosevelt building program. ill take that sort of propaganda very seriously outside of Britain and Japan, but to keep the record straight it perhaps is worth while to repeat that the Roosevelt building program is under the quota agreed to by the London and Tokio governments, and tha’ tiie Roosevelt program was launched, not before, but long aftf-r those foreign powers had been building new ships Hector C. Bywater, generally recognized as the leading British naval writer, in a Dally Telegraph of London article predicting a British building program of twenty-five cruisers, fifteen to eighteen new destroyers annually, and other naval units In proportion, says: Little hope now remains that naval armaments can be graduated by treaties. The sole effect of these to date has been to emasculate the British navy and rejuvenate all the other fleets. It is felt, Indeed, that the latest American and Japanese programs have administered a death-blow to naval limitation by agreement.” There are several adequate answers to the foreign charge that the United States is wrecking the hopes of disarmament. But we ran pass over the pertinent facts that the belated American building program will not bring the American navy up to the treaty quota and that congress specifically provided in the building authorization for suspension of construction in event of a new’ limitation treaty. We even can ignore the vital fact that the United States for ten years has urged and urged in vain the foreign powers to accept any kind of actual disarmament. Forget all the past and the mutual Jockeying of the naval powers for position, discount all the big navy propaganda in all countries. Including the United States, and Judge the United States and the other powers solely on the basis of present policy. The United States government has made n standing offer to disarm by agreement as much as any other nation at any time. That Is the test. Disarmament Is not a matter of talk, but of action. Disarmament ndmlts of no alibi. If the other nations sincerely want Joint naval reduction, they have only to accept our ofTer. It is significant that America has been most anxious for disarmament to avoid a naval race, which America, as the world’s richest nation, probably could win. But Americas pleas for ten years have failed. What more can America do? America can not force disarmament upon the other powers by talk. America can not even force arms limitation on the other powers by example; when we refrained from building up to our treaty quota, the others ignored our example and went on building. Doubtless the large navy policies of the other powers are dictated less by outright militarism than by fears resulting from the temporary breakdown of the worlds peace machinery. Here Is opportunity for the peace groups of this and other countries. Their leadership is waning. Obviously the cause of world peace Is being retarded by the inability of peace proponents to cet together on a common program. In this country, as in others, one group still has faith :n and desires to work through a revitalized League of Nations. Another group believes that virtually all peace moves since the Great war have been along the wrong lines and should be Junked. Meanwhile, the desire for peace, the dread of war. grows among the people. The people want to work for peace, to make their efforts count: but they do not know how. The time has come for peace organisations here and abroad to rise above their petty squabbles, to get together in a united front against the forces of world Chauvinism and militarism. Such a united front for peace would not only deserve, but would receive, the active co-operation of the United Stares government. VAST DIFFERENCE IN JOBS TN declaring that no man should work less than eight hours.” John w Davis fails to make a distinction between professional or creative work and that of routine character. Lawyers, doctors, engineers, and other professional men find an Inspiration in their work which is totally absent from machine-driven labor. The man who threads so many nuts, turns so many watch pinions, or drives so many tacks in a piece of upholstery each day does not view his work as either thrilling or Important. To him, it is just so much motion which he must go through for so much monpy. That is the great weakness of this Machine Age. the great danger, the great problem. Machinery can turn out a standardized product, once it has been set up. but it can not think, imagine, or create Men who operate It become like it. They play the part of Inanimate gadgets and they realize its blighting effect. Hours of labor represent no problem In the creative field. You never hear an artist. writer, sales manager, or executive yelling for Ehorter days. The reason is that they can put something of themselves into their work and see results for which they can claim at least a

share of the credit. That !j not true of work as provided by the factory system. The fac’or” system has reduced labor to uninteresting drudgery. The average toiler no longer is master of his trade. He can do very little to prove his skill or efficiency, much less get a reward for St. The system compels him to stand In a certain spot, go through certain motions in obedier.ro to the machine which he serves. He is expected to perform no sendee, save to feed It or tak** away its grist. He must forget that he is a human being, to do the job well; must lay aside his tn ue ambition, and individuality It is not his part to think, but merely to as an automaton. He is expected to have a quick eve and a trained hand, but no brains. If a ’bread breaks, he ties It. If the head of a tack fl:“s off he Is exp'-etc i to put in another tack quick enough to satisfy the conveyor system. That :s not the kind of work average men hk** to do. or that they will sit up nights to complete. The only way that they can express themselves is to cet away from It. Their only hope of functioning as human beings lies In leisure. The chances are that they will not make the best use of leisure during the first generation or two, but eventually they will. Eventually th' v will make Just as good ’use of their leisure as their ancestors did of the old manual trades. Eventually thev will develop hobbles, and out of those hobbies will come the innovations and improvements which this Machine Age threatens to stifle. Eventually they will turn to dreaming, which always has been and always will be the true basis of human progress. The bad use a few rich people have made of leisure should not be taken as a true indication of how average people will employ it, but even if they were to make no better use of it, it still would be necessary, because if humanity wr-r to be chained to machines for ten generations, it would cease to be natural or normal. CODES AND CONSTITUTION OECAUSE considerable expression of concern is being heard about constitutional aspects of codes as they are being formed, the following from a recent speech by Donald R. Rich berg, general counsel of the National Recovery Administration, is amply well worth rereading at this time: “As the legal adviser of the National Recovery' Administration let me Indicate in a brief space the futility of a debate over the questions of constitutional law in this critical situation. “First, there is no change of any provisions of the Constitution attempted in this law. ■therefore, all the time-honored constitutional rights of the individual remain unmodified by this law. ‘ Second, there exists no constitutional right to do anything which is forbidden by this law. There is no constitutional right to compete unfairly. and there Is no business competition which is more unfair or more harmful to all the people than the competition of low wages and long hours, which the National Recovery Act seeks particularly to eliminate. The welfare of all the people and the prosperity of all business is undermined by such competition, out of which only a small minority can make a temporary profit. If the Constitution protected the right of a few to piofi* in such manner at the expense of all the people it would be a charter of anarchy and not a bulwark of law and order. "In truth, the supreme court repeatedly has held that the Constitution does not authorize any such minority veto upon a code of business morality approved by the overwhelming majority of the people. “Third, If any man fears that, in the establishment of a law of fair competition, he may be deprived of some constitutionally protected freedom of action, his present course should be clear. Let him first Join with his fellows in writing the rules of the game before protesting that he is sure the rules will be unfair. “Let. him then try to play the game according.to the rules, which may be a novel, but perhaps an educational, experience for many who have been accustomed to dignify lawless self-assertion and disregard for the rights of others, with such noble words as ’individualism’ and ‘liberty.’ “Finally, constitutional rights are not in\aderi by proclamations, or statements of public policy, or even by grants of extra ordinary P°wcr to meet extraordinary needs. “They are invaded only by the exercise of force to take from a man a liberty or a property right of which he may not be lawfully deprived. Let me say now and emphatically that the National Recovery Administration expects to operate so far Inside the boundaries of constitutional power that Judicial determination. even of borderline cases, will not be necessary. But if the learned members of my profession tin which two opinions always can be obtained) feel at any time that the administration has erred, the courts, zealous to protect liberty and property, always are open—and they are the final arbiters of what may or may not be lawfully done.” JOBS AND HOMES § LUMS ma >’ S° the way of child labor and sweatshops, under the recovery act. The public works branch of the recovery administration has approved five model housing projects for immediate construction with money loaned from the big public works funds. Tins money will be repaid with in.erest. and will, in addition to providing work for unemployed, provide thousands of families with new sanitary and inexpensive dwellings. Money to be spent for these projects is ar. investment in heai'h and human decency as well as in dollars and cents. It will give families who have existed in airless, smelly, dark, and insanitary tenements a chance for life and self-respect. Boston. New York. Philadelphia and Hutchinson. Kan., are getting these first housing loans. But thirty other projects are under consideration by the administration. The dwellings of America's workers have been a national disgrace for years. Poorer countries tolerate no such slums. It Is a matter of deep satisfaction that the public works fund is to do so much more than just employ Jobless men. t

LIBERALS 'LEFT AT POST’ r T''HE old-fashioned die-hard conservative is not happy these days, and the extreme radical never has been happy. But it is doubtful if either of these groups is getting half the misery that is falling in the lap of a certain kind of doctrir.naire liberal. The conservative at least can reflect that he controlled the government for upward of a decade The radical always can cock his ear for the rumble of tumbrils down the streets of the distant future. But there is a certain kind of libera! to whom the present era seems to be bringing nothing but confusion and disappointment. To be sure, the actions that this liberal always has demanded of his government are being taken. The program that he has clamored for for years—or something strikingly like it —is being put into effect The conservatives are in full retreat, all along the line, and they haven’t found a rallying point. But the tragedy, to the doctrmnaire liberal, is that all this is being done in the wrong way by the wrong people The change came before he could pronounce his blessing upon it. He Just had got through proving that nothing of consequence could be expected from the present administration, when it proceeded to take the wind out of his sails by adopting his whole program. What has our liberal been demanding, all these years? Well, he has called for a "planned economy.” He has wanted federal laws to protect union labor In the leading industries. He has wanted the New York financial powers drastically curbed. He has wanted the government to crack down on the power trust. He has wanted vast sums spent by Uncle Sam on public works. He has wanted a systematized federal employment service. He has wanted to see people like Frances Perkins, Ickes, and Richberg in important government positions. He has wanted an administration that would place human rights above property rights. Every one of these goals has been reached. Things that until recently looked like remote possibilities for the millennium now are in actual operation. But our liberal got left at the post. Change caught him napping. Fate dealt him a hand from the bottom of the deck. And his unhappiness, these days is heartrending to observe. COTTON PLANNING HPHE decision of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace to push the cotton campaign over three years instead of one is calculated to do more toward improving cotton prices and stabilizing this important industry than any flash-in-the-pan operation. That was the fault in the original cotton acreage reduction campaign as originally announced by the agricultural adjustment administration. We said then that this plan could not, and should not, be limited to one year. The AAA’s intention to carry on In the cotton south for 1934 and 1935 is an intelligent decision. Instead of wholesale planting next spring, and then wholesale destruction to reduce cotton production, the secretary and AAA apparently have decided to curb planting at the outset. A planned agriculture thus Is attained.

M.E.TracySays:

INDUSTRIAL leaders are wasting time and energy in trying to preserve the open shop. Under such a system of codes as now is being put into effect, the open shop can not mean what it once did. Neither can the right of collective bargaining. The national government is stepping into this traditional controversy between capital and labor. From now on. it will be a three-sided situation, and the two original sides will grow weaker as the third gathers strength. Employers already have been deprived of their once sacred right to determine how much they would pay and how long hours they would demand. They no longer are in a position to bargain. That brings up the question of who , really occupies the other side of the table when labor exercises its right of collective bargaining. The government not only is undertaking to I act as arbiter, but as the ultimate source of ! authority. It prefers that industrial codes be ' formulated by voluntary agreement. If that is not feasible, it reserves the right to formulate and Impose them. Penalties have been provided for employers who fail to carry out codes. That precludes them from driving any trade with their employes. except that it conforms to limits prescribed by the government. a a a AITE have not come to a test case as yet In VV which employes undertake to exercise the right of collective bargaining against employers who faithfully are living up to a code, but the chances are that we soon will. When we do. .ve shall begin to recognize the full force and effect of this national recovery program. The laissez-faire regime has meant something to labor as well as to capital. If It Is disestablished, both are going to find themselves deprived of certain privileges which they-have exercised in the past. Planned economy, essence of this program, does not permit of arbitrary or willful interference by any group. It is a substitute for | those old anarchistic methods by which we sought to reach a fair adjustment through force. The right to strike has been recognized and upheld because labor had no other way of making capital play fair. With the government undertaking to make capital play fair, this aspect of the problem is changed We are headed straight for courts of arbitration. Such courts can not make men and women work against their will, but they can liberate men and women from the decrees of any organization which pursues a course contrary to the public good. B B B THE very same reason that has influenced the government to protect both the public and labor against exploitation by greedy industrialists will compel it to protect conscientious industrialists from exploitation by unwise labor leadership. The entire set-up is being altered and the methods to which we have aceus omed soon will become obsolete, if the principles and ideals on which the national recovery program rests are successfully applied. The basic idea of the code system is to bring about such readjustments under government supervision as will guarantee the averac? worker a fair return. This is irreconcilable \yith arbitrary interference by any organized group. To the same extent that a great industry must yield obedience to law. so must a great union. This does not destroy the right of collective bargaining as such, but it does limit its exercise in the interest of public policy on the one hancLand personal liberty on the ctf.er. ,

THE ECBTANAEOLTS TIMES

(Timet rtidert are invited to etpreti their views in these columns. Make your ieffer* short, to all can have a chance. Limit them to !.'0 i cords or less.j By Times Reader. There has been quite a discussion in the newspapers concerning the ! charging for meals of the employes of hotels and restaurants. Knowing that the papers have the restaurant men's views on the matter, I take this liberty of giving you the views of the workers themselves. I have been an employe of this industry this city since the fall jof 1908. Have worked in some of | the leading places. I never was and I don't know of a single case where an employe was charged for meals. Os course, some of the res- ; taurant owners base their pay roll on the value of the food the employe eats and some of them place the value on the food more than they do on the actual cash they j pay the employe. For the last three years there have - been employes paid as low as $2.50 ! a week for eighty-four hours. Last race day I worked with an [ extra cook at a well-known res--1 taurant downtown and he put in about forty-one hours straight time in the kitchen, for which he received $1 in cash. Surely the manager had a food value that this man consumed far above the cash he paid him. I volunteered to organize the cooks' and waiters’ union. One of j the first obstacles that I encounj tered was an employer who disi charged two waitresses for joining ! the union. Now, all we ask of any one Is a 1 square deal under the NRA. We intend to do our part in the government program, and we are going to see that the chiselers are re- , ported to Mr. Wells as fast as they . are reported to us. Our members ; are bringing in complaints every day. By I>. A. C. There are a few’ things I would like to ask and say in regard to the company I work for. lam working for a drug company and have been for several years. The l highest salary I ever have known I was $21.50 as fountain manager. I started, inexperienced, at $lB. In about four months I was given a fountain and my salary gradually raised to $27.50. Then they gave us two or three small percentage cuts, reducing us by degrees, until last March, when they gave us a major cut of 25 per

The condition is extremely frequent In France anl Italy and in some southern European clinics more people are likely to come with congenital dislocations of the hip than with club-feet. For certain reasons the condition is much more frequent in women than in men; namely, about 88 to 12 per cent. Although the condition has been known for centuries, it is only within the last fifty years that its exact nature has been establshed. Little progress was made in its control, however, until the last twenty-five years, when methods

ITNLESS we wish to slip back into ' the abyss of depression, we shall have to do our NR A climbing with warine- and care. Already Sr. Louis reports mob activity. A restaurant owner who had not conformed, or so it was thought, was beaten and forced to kiss the Blue Eagle emblem, while fifty persons looked on. giving silent support to the outrage. This is no way to bring prosperity back to America. It is instead a very good way to make all plans fail. Half remedies will not suffice now. This recovery must be permanent. and permanence never is to be found in the emotionalism cf mobs. Such fires burn out a'most as soon aAtbey^a

A Busted Napoleon

Barred Off Job Bv S. M. I WAS called back to the Pennsylvania car shops at Hawthorne yards June 13 and let go on July 26, reported to be physically unfit. But at the time I was called back, I had received a physical examination and was reported in good health. I worked extra board up until September of last year and they took my voluntary relief out of my check. When I was called back, they wouldn't take out for relief and put me out of work. I have had seventeen years’ service with the Pennsylvania railroad and would like to know how I can become reinstated, as this relief is not supposed to be compulsory. The way they are doing nowmakes it impossible for a man past 45 to get a job. cent, reducing all fountain managers to about sl7 average. The company’s general manager, very well known here, promised faithfully that this cut would only be temporary and would bo returned in about thirty to sixty days. So far, they haven't said a word about giving it back since we got the cut. Last March we were working on an average of seventy-two hours a week until the NRA started. New we are working fifty-four hours. But all the fountain help except the fountain managers were raised to the minimum wage. We now are drawing about $2.50 more a week than the regular fountain help, and at the same time we are held to full responsibility for every small detail—more so now than before. So far. in our store., they have not added any more help, which makes every one put forth about twice the effort to get everything done in less time. And I want to know if it is possible that they can do this and get by the NRA, and if it is possible that they can hold a fountain manager's salary to sl7 a week and hold him responsible for every small detail and expect him to live and support a family? I am married and have a boy and I want to know if it is fair for single people to draw the minimum wage and have no one but themselves to look out for. And we who are married, have the upkeep of a home and other incidental expenses and the responsibility of the fountain.

Editor Journal of the American Medical Association of Hvceia, the Health Mafazin-. were discovered for controlling the condition by what is called closed manipulations. There are various theories as to this condition, but the majority of experts in orthepedic surgery are convinced that it is associated with difficulties of birth. Usually the congenital dislocation of the hip is not diagnosed in the child until it begins to walk. Then it limps or waddles, without any pain and without any preceding injury or disease. Measurement by the physician will demonstrate the fact that there is a shortening of the leg on the side in which the dislocation has occurred. It also is conceivable that disease of the bones may be associated with

Therefore, let no man delude himself into a belief that he is a good or patriotic citizens when he attempts to visit punishment upon a fellow who may be slow to feel his ardor. For that way lies disaster. a e a \ MERIC AN citizens, however l\. humble, who have been reared upon the milk of freedom, who never have known the rule of kings, and who believe, at least, that they govern themselves, will not submit readily to any forcing process. They may seem to do so for a time, while moved by fear, but sooner or later this course will plunge us into a revolt that maylead to positive and dangerous revelution.

Don't you think we should be given some consideration? In regard to this, it is worth several times more than the $2.50 difference which we now are getting. By W. B Srhrclbfr Voltaire’s statement in your message center rather assures one that he can have a voice, so I'm sending this. I have followed the church articles closely, and would like, to give my reasons why the great cavalcade back to the church. First, poverty, a product of capitalism, rendered the masses penniless. No money for movies, hence the free show. Second, under each oppressive social order in the past, the oppressed have sought for comfort from the soothsayers, astrologers, and clairvoyants. The church of today Is the greatest fortune telling agency on earth. Appealing to the ignorant, superstitious and hypocritical, capitalism and the church are twins. The big twin capitalism is in his death struggle, on the brink of oblivion. The church twin rushes to the rescue. I admit a discouraging feeling while reading of the many thousands, but the same voice that spoke to Elias, the Prophet, I Kings 19. 14-18, spake also to me and that voice is the voice of reason. It said, "just figure a little." We did and found there are yet 300,000 people in Marion county who have not yet bowed the knee to tho image of the baal of capitalism (the church). In each and every world crisis, the church always has stood on the side of the oppressor and against oppressed. So today, in this : last and final combat between the powers of light and darkness, between labor and capital, the church is busy pouring new wine, the R F. C.. into old bottles, sewing new cloth, the NRA. on to capitalist garments. The new- Is bound to take from the old and the rip will be made worse. We invite Dr Benson of the Methodist hospital, Dr. Evans of the church federation, or any of the hundreds of others to meet us in j public discussion and disprove any of these statements. Now, reader, listen to them keep their mouths shut. Who am I? Just a carpenter of Indianapolis, who has heard and heeded the call of carpenter of Nazareth, the Social Communist.

changes in the tissue which will make dislocation easier. Unless something is done promptly for children who have this condition at birth, they are likely to be disabled for the rest of their lives. They walk only with the greatest of difficulty, lurching and waddling Fortunately, It has been found possible by manipulation—or when manipulation fails, by surgical operation —to help most patients. It is believed that manipulations first should be attempted in all cases under 10 years of age, and even in older people if the joint and the structure are sufficiently loose. With proper treatment of this character and with suitable care after the manipulation, from 50 to 75 per cent of those affected may be benefited.

It is the duty of the government to see that all business mer abide by the code outlined for them. But it equally is the duty of the government to stand firm against any or group of men taking the law into their own hands. The government that makes the rules must deal the punishment for any who break them. A mob always is more dangerous than a profiteer. As everybody agrees, we must nave co-operation, but only that co-operation which comes from the heart will count for much. The NRA is anew dream for America and Americans. Let us hope, let us resolve that it shall not be ihade into a hideous nightmare by the flaming of mob spirit.

It Seems to Me - BY HEYWOOD BROUN

XJFWYORK Ain: 26 Some pec- - r a iution. and others deny it with either bitterness or gra'.'ude. Os course, the difference of opinion lies largely in 'he definition cf the wort: To many it isn't a revolution unless a li t of people ar" b< - ing •'liquidated” and ownership i*passing from top to bottom In this sense we certainly have had no revolution. But changes of a somewhat startling nature ahead•ire with us and may crowd in eve:, more closely. For one thing, w* definitely are on our wav to a fair! general acceptance of the five-da” week. To a certain extent this ma\ defeat the purpose of NR A. In certain industries it is likely that tlv discovery will be made that there was a treat deal ot waste motion in the old-fashioned week. Penalties for tardiness are going to be more severe. The three-hour-for-lunch club ha.- received its death blow, in many factories labor will be vastly speeded up. BBS Asa tic's Paradise Puds HUT I am not referring to thes< condition- I want to comment on the fact that for centuries the proud Nordic lias been living in an ascetic's paradise. Possibly all Nordics do not fall under this criticism. The British have had for many ! years a leisure class even among I certain persons engaged in gainful I occupations. Perhaps it would be more accurate to confine ourselvt - to the New England tradition. Surely it was so among these pio--1 neers. their sons and their sons’ son . that work was sacred in its own | right. This attitude was confirmed ! by hundreds of saws and aphorismThe devil found work for idle hands to do. and the sluggard was ncii vised to go to the ant for advice and example. And now the ant must sit I and learn from his former pupil. When the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth rock they began to w,s: with the wilderness, the Indians and -some of the harshest farm land the world ever has known. Although I never have attempted it myself, l ! have watched with great interest , many people trying to plow the soil of Connecticut. Generations have been working on those boulders, but as vet they only ! have scratched the surface. A conscientious man can spend any numbo. of hours a day and still quit with his task incomplete. A forty-hour week would have reduced the early Puritans to stari vation. So, after the manner of all men, they made a virtue of their i stark necessity. Even after the economic urge had abated, your true New Englander insisted upon imposing punishing hours upon himself and everybody under his control. There came into being the American business tradition. It went to ludicrous lengths. Even in the fairly | frequent periods when there was no business, the slave of the tradition : insisted upon going into his office and sitting around He had a feeling that any curtailment of hours was in a sense a surrender. a a a Watch That Clark T TK demanded that nobody should -*• watch the clock. I hold that something startling, even if it isn t revolutionary, has occurred when all of us are asked as a patriotic duty to keep close rally of time and r> - ixirt the names of miscreants who ; violate the code. The old morality j has given way to the new or, at : any rate, it is edging over in that direction. We no longer respect the man : who forces himself or anybody ebe to toil through unholy hours. We see him now’ not as the useful and j thrifty citizen, but the greedy individual warring against planned production. Not only is the industrial w'orld in a state of flux, but it seems likely that the manners and folk ways of hundreds of millions or people ar • about to be changed by the new style week. I see by the pap<: that a committee has been appointed to advise toilers as to what they shall do with spare time to which they have not been accustomed. To be sure, unemployment has given millions a certain training lr. the arts of inactivity. But that is hardly the same thing. These people have been under the necessity of working upon the problem of the next meal and chasing the will of the wisp of possible jobs. Leisure combined with some spending power and the dull blankness of joblessness are not the sam.'* thing at all. a a a The New Leisure JUST what will liappcn nobody can predict. I doubt that man / toilers will report to receive hints as to what to do with an extra day off I think that the International Organization of Amateur Radish Growers Is likely to treble Its membership within the next few years. I hope and expect that the crop of Sunday painters will be augmented vastly All existing standards of golf are certain to be lowered by the influx of new recruits. The artisan golfer who Is well known in England soon will b*makme his appearance here and challenging the supremacy of treidle rich. Glee clubs and amateur theatricals will flourish. The professional stage will come back into its own. And it may even be that every now and then somebody will buy a book And from the point of view of the publishers, that will be authentically a revolution. iCopvrlghV 1933. by The Tlmem
