PLEAS GREENLEE ■pLEAS GREENLEE must go He has had ■*- an extremely difficult task to do as the Governor’s patronage secretary. Perhaps he has performed it as well as any one not an archangel could. Yet his want of tact, his brusqueness and his lark of diplomacy have b: ought more criticism upon Governor McNutt than any other one thing except the beer law. No one can that Mr. Greenlee is straightforward. He is so forthright that he is naive. His mental processes are perfectly simple: if a man is a Democrat—a McNutt E moerat—he should receive every benefit fiem the state administration; if he is not, he 1 not even entitled to ordinary courtesy. Governor McNutt has a modern, liberal, ern tructive program for the state of Indiana. There is no place in it for such primitive poll ical thinking as that of Mr. Greenlee. Indiana wants no Tammany, will tolerate nothing that smells of Tammany methods. The patronage secretary’s latest blunder v is to lay the administration open to the charge of playing politics with the unemployment relief program in Shelbyville. That is a serious accusation. It was precisely this sort cf conduct that caused the voters to dump the I‘lo-year-old Democratic organization in New York City a few weeks ago. A Republican stomach gets just as empty a Democratic one, Mr. Greenlee. The chilci en of a Socialist suffer precisely as much from cold and hunger as those of a McNutt adherent. Money for poor relief comes equally ftom the pockets of all taxpayers. This complex for political organization has become a dangerous obsession in Mr. Greenlee’s mind. He must go.

EDUC ATION AND THE LEGION XTEVER in the history of the world h3s the need for public education been so great as it is today. America is confronted with the most complex economic problems, which are difficult of understanding even to experts. The people of this country have never been wanting in ingenuity and courage, but they can not use these valuable qualities unless they also have understanding. When the depression began pinching tax budgets politicians foolishly slashed teachers’ salaries and made other heavy cuts in education costs. This was silly and dangerous. The two principal functions of government are protection and public schools. Officials should have economized in the nonessential features t)f government instead of tinkering with the very fundamentals of society'. It is extremely encouraging to thinking people that the powerful American Legion is keenly aware of this dangerous situation. The organization's Americanization committee is going to roll up its sleeves and go to work to save the schools from further crippling. The public should give this work of the legion every' co-operation. If the United States is to recover from the depression withqut going over to some “ism” it must have more, not less, public education.

NR A. OR—IN his Savannah speech the President answered the modern Tories who object to experiment in government today just as the Tories of 1776 attacked the changes out of which our nation grew. He proudly pleaded guilty to the charge of the doubting Thomases that he is an experimenter who has faith in the pioheering spirit. Admitting that there are no easy and quick remedies for our economic ills, he added: “My friends, we are on the way to recovery.” It is understandable that the business man who continues to believe in “rugged individualism” finds it hard to adjust himself to the new philosophy embodied in NR A for instance. Permit us to suggest, however, that before he devotes himself to the task of wrecking the President's program he consider these facts: The electorate smashed the powerful Vare machine in Philadelphia the other day. It beat the Mellon-Coyne machine in Pittsburgh. It cracked Tammany in New York. And while this was going on. prohibition started its funeral march. All of this means that a spirit of change is abroad in this country. Franklin D. Roosevelt is a keen politician and particularly is apt in reading the public mind. Sensing public sentiment, it is altogether likely that if he swerves from the path he now is treading, his course will be to the left.. So it seems to us that the “rugged individualist” is called upon to decide whether he will accept NRA. a thing which he does not like, or whether he prefers tc accept something which he likes less. THE FOUR MILLION THE government’s splendid project for transferring 4.000.000 American heads of families from charity rolls to quick public works jobs will succeed or fail in proportion to the enterprise and selfishness of the men and women who administer the civil works fund. The principles laid down by President Roosevelt and Relief Administrator Hopkins are sound. Some 2.000.000 family heads, both men and women, are to be taken from relief at once and 1.000.000 others are to be hired from public employment bureaus as soon as possible. The remaining 1.000.000 are to be put to work as they are capable of job holding. All are to work as federal employes at prevailing wages for thirty hours a week until mid-February, when new plans will be formed. Workmens compensation will care for those injured. No creditor may garnishee a CWA worker’s wages. The work must start

at once, and should be of the sort that requires little equipment, uses white collar men and women as well as day laborers, and adds the greatest social benefits to the community. Wherever possible localities must chip in to help finance the projects. Speed is the first criterion. The Ickes public works program has moved too slowly. This one should get under way at once. Communities which daily run the risk of being left out of the $400,000,000 benefit. ’ are on the dole something happens mentally,” President Roosevelt said."VTTrio sooner we can take them off the dole the better off we will be.” Public-spiritedness is the other test of the administrators. “We would like to have a rule,” said the President, "that every one associated with relief work will never ask whether persons needing assistance are Democrats, Republicans, Socialists or anything else.” Governors, supervisors, mayors and relief administrators who spend this money for selfish or political ends defraud the taxpayers and commit treason against helpless and suffering humanity. The task ahead is not easy, particularly in the winter-bound states of the north. It will take courage, initiative and resourcefulness. qualities that we like to call American. But, in this fourth winter of misery, it comes as a challenge that no public official worthy the name will treat lightly. The federal government is furnishing the money, the standards and the leadership. But jqb-making, like the charity it supplants, must begin at home. Y

BALANCING THE FORCES PERKINS tells the New York Merchants’ Association that the NRA provides “a good technique for balance” among finance, industry, agriculture and labor, and that, she adds, is perhaps the most significant fact in the whole recovery program. This remark, while it says nothing that has not been said before, nevertheless helps to clear up one of the most common reasons for criticism of NRA activity. Getting a proper balance among the forces mentioned by Miss Perkins simply means fixing things so that each shall get its fair share of whatever degree of prosperity happens to be available, and devising a method whereby no one group can throw the whole works out cf line by taking a greater profit proportionately than the economic setup can stand. Now ihe getting of such a balance might not necessarily, of itself, restore full prosperity. What it would do would make it certain that such prosperity, when it did return, would be a self-accelerating thing, that it would be distributed evenly, and that it would not, as in the past, create the contradictions that lead to new depressions. The NRA framework, in other words, is not so much a measure to restore prosperity as a conduit through which returning prosperity can flow more smoothly and rapidly. It is just as well that we keep that fact in mind. Otherwise we are apt to gaze about us, see that the depression is lingering, and conclude that the NRA is worthless and should be junked. Restoration of good business, as Miss Perkins points out, depends on the inrerlocking of a number of factors. The NRA is one of them, the agricultural adjustment act is another, the public works program is another, the present manipulation of the currency seems to be still another. And Miss Perkins properly warns us: “Restoration will be a comparatively slow process, with passible checks from time to time. No great co-operative effort such as this has ever been carried to a successful conclusion without some setbacks.” We can stand the setbacks, so long as we don’t let them persuade us that the NRA is a flop because it isn’t doing something it never was designed to do.

CHEAPER RATES PAY THE Atlanta speech of Director Lilienthal of the Tennessee Valley Authority should encourage the great electrical equipment industry to join in the campaign for generally cheaper electric rates. That industry always has been regarded by the public as more or less allied with the private utilities. But as a matter-of fact its interest should point in a diametrically opposite direction from the position taken by those utilities which constantly fight to retain existent rates or to raise them. Every substantial rate reduction should show up in increased sales of electrical equipment. If the surplus of electricity to which Director Lilienthal refers—“the pool of electricity lying idle"— could be tapped, the possibilities for equipment sales in terms both of equipment now commonly used, such as electric lights, fans, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, and the like, and oi equipment not commonly used, such as heaters and cooking stoves and cooling systems, would be enormously increased. If the equipment industry could be added to those forces which are pressing for lower rates, the influence would be tremendous. Furthermore, Director Lilienthal’s speech suggests an argument that should appeal to the selfish interests of the utilities themselves. He emphasizes that the electric industry. both privately and publicly owned, is running into a financial blind alley unless the use of electricity can be increased very substantially. and he adds that a drastic revision downward of electric rates would not result in a decrease in either gross or net revenue. Some of the more far-sighted of the private utility interests have been leaning toward that thought for some time. The surplus pool to which Director Lilienthal refers, representing as it does a conservatively estimated 25 per cent idle investment in powerhouses and transmission lines, constitutes a powerful appeal to go out and find a market. One way to find it, of course, is to lower rates. Probably the 5 per cent who voted “no” in the Hitler plebiscite were "yes men” who meant it this time. The Ku-Klux officials who failed to launder their nightshirts now are organizing as black shirts. Keep your mouth shut, says Dr. Shirley W. Wynne, New York health commissioner, if you want to avoid a cold— also if you to avoid trouble of any kind.

THE POOLER’S SNAP \ RTHUR W. CUTTEN. among the most famods of exchange operators and classiest of Wall Street’s pool manipulators, speaking: ‘‘When the market goes off a little bit we buy and then the market goes up and the public comes in. Then, we sell.” Very simple and easy. The wonder of it is that, in a civilized country advanced beyond the status of the anthropoids, tens of thousands of the population hurry into the “come in” and get stripped by the manipulation. However, as Poet Lowell advises: The right to be a cussed fool Is safe from all devices human, It’s common <ez a gin’rl rule) To every critter born of woman. ATTRIBUTES OF AN EDITOR r T"'HE editor in Mansfield, 0., whose plant •*- was bombed after he had carried on a spirited crusade against his city’s underworld has joined the honorable list of editors who have braved danger and violence'to serve their subscribers. The list is a long one. and in the telling of it there are some bright stories of human integrity and courage. The Mansfield incident emphasizes anew the fact that those two qualities—integrity and courage—are, in the last analysis, the most important ones an editor can possess. To be sure, he has to be a good craftsman. He "has to be enough of a business man to keep his paper from going bankrupt. He has to be a diplomat; sometimes he has to be a sort of detective; he has to be a salesman and a counselor and a historian. But, first of all, he must be straight and he must have nerve —so that he can perform his duty to his town, like this Mansfield man, even in the face of violence and personal danger.

IN THE LABORATORY ONE of the advantages of turning the liquor problem over to the states for solution is the fact that a number of different ways of handling the traffic will be tried. We thus shall have a sort of laboratory in which many experiments are being attempted simultaneously. Asa result, in a couple of years or so, we shall be able to get a pretty good line on the methods of liquor control which work out the best in actual practice. At present our discussion of the different courses that have been suggested theoretical. We think we know how such and such a plan would work out, but we can't be sure. After half a dozen different states actually have tried out a half dozen different liquor control systems. we shall be in a much better position to judge the comparative effectiveness of the various schemes that have been suggested.

VICTORY IN DEFEAT FERDINAND PECORA has won the admiration of his fellow citizens in the last half dozen months, and they share in his disappointment over his failure to win election to the job of district attorney in Manhattan. But there's a bright side to his defeat, after all. If he had been elected district attorney, he would have had to stop acting as counsel for the senate stock market committee; and it is a little bit hard, off-hand, to. think of any other man who could do as good a job in that position as he has been doing. As it is, he can remain in that post, where there is a great deal of very valuable and important work for him to do. His loss, in this particular instance, looks very much like the nation’s gain. Manhattan may have failed to get a firstrate prosecutor, but the senate committee can keep an unusually able investigator. If your doctor tells you you're as sound as a dollar these days, it might be a good idea to start looking for another doctor. Sleeping sickness has attacked horses in Texas. That must have been the trouble with the last one we bet on.

M.E. Tracy Says:

ECONOMIC skies have brightened measurably during the last few days. For one thing, repeal of the eighteenth amendment promises more revenue for the government and and more jobs for the people. For another the prospect of increased Russian trade means a healthier outlook and improved business. For still another, the substitution of work for charity represents a needed change in our attitude toward relief. This is going to be a tough winter for many people, but not so tough as last winter in one vital respect. We entered last winter with every reason to believe that spring would find us worse off. We enter this winter with every reason to believe that spring will find us better off. One year ago we saw no way out except through breadlines. Now we recognize the necessity of providing jobs. That in itself is a great step forward. a a a ONCE we settle down to the idea that work must be made, we shall make it. The whole problem of recovery hinges and has always hinged on the proposition of giving people a chance to pay their way. While charity is a great virtue in the face of immediate disaster, it becmoes vicious when imposed on people who want to work. In my judgment, the plan of putting four million men to work on various public projects and enterprises this winter is the finest and most constructive decision yet made by the Roosevelt administration. It means restoration of faith in action, and a rebirth of independence for millions of families. It means a return to those ideals and standards which have made this country what it is, and Without which anything approximating permanent recovery is impossible. a a a YOU can't put a nation on its feet by letting large numbers of willing workers stand with hats in hand to catch crumbs from the table of expert charity. You can't keep up their morale as long as they are forced to beg or to submit to the spying and snooping which go with expert relief. When you appropriate $lO to put a man at work, he gets the money and that's that. But when you appropriate, $lO to buy food or pay rent, he may get $5, though not without humiliating himself in ways that make one shudder. The worst so it is that the $lO appropriated for this so-called charity, except as it may have been made necessary by sickness or accident, leaves little hope. In the end there is nothing left to show for it save a bunch of reports and statistics. In the end society would be better off if it spent SI,OOO to provide jobs, than if it spent only SIOO for handouts.

Prices fall, wages go down, debts, both public and private, increase tremendously in ratio to income. Since we do nearly all our business on credit money, we find real money expensive in terms of labor and goods during credit shrinkage periods. We don’t operate our business structure to produce goods for consumption. We produce goods to make money. When we fail to

Aluminum Scare Is Without Basis BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN ' ———-

YOU needn’t be disturbed over the cries of some alarmists that the aluminum pots and pans you use in the kitchen are harmful to your health, or chat the alum in baking powder makes the use of that ingredient dangerous. As ’va matter of fact, there is hardly enough harmful material cooked out of aluminum utensils, or contained in baking powder, to harm even a fly. Because of the commercial interests involved, and the cry that has been raised by misguided or prejudiced persons, chemists have given increasing study to aluminum and its effects upon the human system. Lately, new- methods have been devised for detecting the amount of this substance in foods and other materials. Investigators have found that when neutral foods, that is, foods having no acid or alkaline reaction, are cooked in aluminum utensils, hardly any of the metal is removed or dissolved in the food.

“ A LTHOUGH they have the idea | that masculine life centers around them, men in America are only moderately interested in women.” says Joseph Hergesheimer, the eminent novelist. The use of the word "moderately” is, I believe, an exaggerat'on. American men really are not interested in women at all. That is, they are not interested in us as women. We appeal to them as “'buyers" for their tremendous productive endeavors; as mothers to bring up their children; as stenographers, who look after the details of their business; or as sweethearts with whom they can indulge their emotional and amorous fancies, but as mere human beings, the other half of thexftselves, they do not see us at aIL

Old A,cje Aid By Guy L. AAoodruff. By a majority of nearly 3 to 1, Ohio citizens have A'oted for the adoption of an old-age pension law, making the twenty-sixth state to leave the poorhouse ranks. Those opposed to the just, humane pension system whose chief advocate is the Fraternal Order of Eagles, can get no comfort from the Ohio vote. In some precincts the vote in favor of pensions ran as high as 10 to 1. Even the prohibition repeal issue received a smaller total vote. It is interesting to note that the Ohio law provides a maximum of $25 a month, starting at age 65, as compared with the Indiana ' law paying a maximum of sls monthly, starting at age 70. No consideration of the pension issue is complete without giving thought to poorhouse condition. The forty-third annual report of Indiana’s board of state charities described thirteen poorhouses as follows: “In such institutions the fire hazard is a constant menace to the lives of the aged and crippled men and Avomen.” The report sho\A's that only 617 of the 5,833 inmates of Indiana poorhouses are able bodied, but only ten of the institutions have hospital facilities.

However, acid juices may remove up to thirteen parts in a million from new aluminum pans and up to three times as much from old, dark pans. If you ate a large amount, say four pounds, of stewed fruits and nothing else, you would have consumed something less than one twothousandth of an ounce of aluminum. „ Experiments on university students have shown that they might eat as much as one two-hundredth of an ounce of aluminum every day for a long time without revealing any disturbance. Moreover, further experiments show that some aluminum is present as a natural constituent of a good many cereals, vegetables and fruits. The average person eats about twelve milligrams of aluminum daily.

A Woman’s Viewpoint

BY. MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

It’s the one terrible thing wrong with the world these days, this utter blindness of men to our individualism. When they think oi social problems of labor conditions, of industrial progress, or international trade, they think of them in terms of their influence upon the destinies of men. 808 ONLY the rare and precious few are yet able to understand that the social revolution which has plunged the male into so many troubles has destroyed the old safe world in which women used to dwell. Men do not see that the doors of home, as the word was used in its former sense, have been slammed in our faces, or that expensive domesticity as our mothers knew it is an art forever lost. *-■ No, men are not interested in

like a car out of gas. We use money in trade, because it is simpler than barter of goods for goods or labor. The control of money, whether it be coin or credit, amounts to control over all the people and their life, liberty and happiness. If a king or czar wielded such power over the people, we would recognize the implications. Credit and money control must be exercised for the good of all citizens, and from experience, we are having the only agency, for it is the government through our representatives. Shortchange money is not sound money. By Edwin A. Hunt.

You can get an idea of how tiny this amount is when I tell you that there are 28,571 milligrams in an ounce. Yet five of the twelve milligrams you eat daily are a natural constituent of the foods. The college students, on the other hand, ate 200 milligrams—about 150th of an ounce—of aluminum daily for a considerable period without experiencing any bad results. And they took more than twenty times as much aluminum daily as the average person gets. These investigations show the folly of the attacks that have been made on aluminum by misguided chemists and promoters, some of whom make their claims on the basis of health appeal. Remember that no such statement is of value unless it is supported by adequate evidence and unless it comes from a person who may be considered an unbiased authority in the field concerned.

women, and that's pity. Because, if they were, anew kind of existence could be built, a bright and splendid civilization created from the ruins of the old. Men always have used rather than considered us. And if today that use is turned into other than mere physical channels, the word nevertheless carries its ancient implications. In too many instances we not only are used, we are exploited. And we still are apart from men in their thoughts. We are for them a strange and alien people. Though life has shoved us into their faces and though we shout to them, they are not conscious of our essential reality, but dreamily contemplate the ideal creature of their imaginations, a being who never did and never will exist.

It Seems to Me -BY HEYTYOOD BROUN^

WILL and Walter, the cowboy and the cum laude. have joined forces in a curious combination. At the moment Mr. Rogers and Mr. Lippmann are separated by nothing but a wad of gum. You can still tell them apart, because Will does the chewing and Walter is the one who doesn't smile so much. Moreover, their technique is different. Will's part of the act is to swing a lariat, while Walter walks on eggshells. The turn is called “Making the Eagle Scream." Mr. Lippmann does it with a kiss. In a recent message to the American people he announced himself a believer in ‘‘the immense possibilif.es of the code system as applied to basic industries.” But this doesn't mean newspapers. It is Mr. Lippmann's notion that they should refuse to go under any code whatsoever. n a a Lippmann Kicks ' | •'HEN.” he adds, "to show their good will, those newspapers which can afford it ought voluntarily to make a gentlemen s agreement among themselves, and perhaps with the President, putting into effect the labor provisions in the proposed code.” The New York Daily News, which Is not a radical publication, declared in an editorial this week that ‘newspapers are the chief employers of child labor,’ hiring some 500.000 children as carriers or newsboys.” Just what has delayed or hampered the gentlemen in coming together in some voluntary agreement to end this monstrous condition? If there is any logic in Mr. Lippmann's position why wouldn't it be just as pertinent to say that the more prosperous and public spirited members of the steel industry or of cotton or coal or sugar might be counted on to get together and make a gentlemen's agreement to | shorten hours and raise wages? Avery famous gentlemen's agreement was made in the White House a year or so after Herbert Hoover ,came into power. All the great captains of industry were summoned and pledged themselves not to cut wages, since it would intensify the panic and deepen the depression. In some cases the pledge was observed for as much as twenty-four ' hours. a a a In Praise of Proprietors NEWSPAPER owners are neither rogues nor rascals. They are business men. It is my belief that they rate above the proprietors in many other industries. On the whole, their sense of social responsibility is greater than that of coal magnates or steel barons. I have known several who were distinctly idealistic in their attitude toward the public welfare. But I never met one who was exactly what you might call a fanatic about it. The newspaper industry is fiercely competitive. I think it would be not only ridiculous but quite unfair to single out any small group of owners and say: “We expect you to establish and maintain wages and working conditions well above those which prevail at present, but, of course, some of your less fortunate competitiors are going to be allowed to run wild.” In a fairly short time the gougers and the chiselers would be the successful proprietors, and you would have to call on an entirely new set of gentlemen to make the next agreement. a a a According to Ability THERE never has Deen any suggestion that precisely the same burden should be imposed on every paper regardless of its size or the potentialities of the territory which it served. But it will be an extremely faulty code if every single publication is not called upon to perform some part in aiding recovery by increasing wages and shortening working hours. The . gesture of voluntary sacrifice already has begun to bog down in New York. A number of newspapers announced that without waiting for any compulsion they would establish the five-day fortyhour week. But at least two went gentlemanly on the first page and after a few w4teks decided to forget about it. Nor did either of them feel that the fact of going off the five-day week deserved the same space and prominence given to the original gesture. The contribution of Will Rogers to the school of lassiz faire and Lippmann was a screamingly funny broadcast called “What a Coach!” “That’s Professor Try-Anything coming out. Look at those professors get back to their classrooms!” And so it went on. zip-zip-zip, for half an hour. Then, according to Mr. Rogers, the call came for Owen D. Young. “No theories, no trick plays. It’s the old power from now on—the old. real line-buck.” Sure, those fine old fleet carriers who made all those touchdowns back in the tough winter of 1930 and every winter since then—well, maybe they didn't score any touchdowns, but they certainly made some elegant “gentlemen's agreements.” 'Copyright. 1933, by The Times)
