SHOTGUN INDEPENDENCE 'T'HE injustice of the rejected HawesA Cutting Philippine law La multiplied by the latest move of the senate committee on territories. A subcommittee has been instructed to present a resolution reviving until next October the law which lapsed last week. That would be unobjectionable if tht purpose were to facilitate negotiations with the Filipinos for agreement on a fair independence measure. But the purpose the opposite of that. It is to force the Filipinos either to accept independence on unfair terms or to give up all hopes of any ’tind of independence. This is made very clear by the statement of Chairman Millard Tydings, explaining the senate committee’s action as follows: ’There will be no new Philippine independence legislation at this session of con-* gress Therefore, it is the committee's desire to give the Filipinos one more chance to accept or reject the Hawes-Cutting bill. If, after the new elections, the legislature again fails to take action, or acts adversely under the provisions of the bill, it will be notice to congress that the Filipinos do not desire mdependence and desire to continue under their present status.” Senator Tydings and his committee know very well that the Philippine legislature rejected the Hawes-Cutting act last October, and they know equally well that the Filipinos do desire independence and do not desire continuance of their present status. Senator Tydings and his committee know that a large portion of the American press favoring Philippine independence has condemned the Hawes-Cutting bill as a measure dictated in part by • beet-sugar and other selfish lobbyists, a measure which would reduce the Islands to beggary and make a mockery of independenceSenator Tydings and his committee know that representative American groups favoring independence, such as the special committee of the Foreign Policy Association and World Peace Foundation, have demanded sweeping revision of the Hawes-Cutting terms in order to protect the rights of the Filipinos, the honor of the United States, and the peace of the Pacific. Senators have a right to any opinion they wish on the subject of Philippine independence. But they have no right to put a gun to the Filipino’s temple and say, “Either jump into the sea or swear that you do not want freedom.” It is hard to believe that congress, or the Roosevelt administration, or the American people will support the policy of the senate committee. Indeed, the Tydings statement Is so unprecedented, we doubt that the senate commi. ee itself will push this policy when it has had time to understand the implications.

RAILROADS OX TRIAL Roosevelt administration is sincerely trying to help the railroads help themselves. And. even after the report of Federal Coordinator Joseph Eastman, administrator of the emergency railroad act, it is evident that effort is going on for a while yet. If, Anally, It doesn t work, the alternative is government ownership and operation. This phase of the Arst Eastman report. Just submitted to the interstate commerce commission and the President, got big notices in the newspapers. But. as an expression of Mr Eastman's opinion, it wasn't new. Although he is still trying to “give the railroads a break," to help them help themselves, he hasn't moved one whit from his position in favor of government ownership and operation. He approaches this in the practical way. He holds that the railroads are only masquerading as a private industry, and that government regulation goes into their most detailed operations. Such a hybrid arrangement. he says, must eventually be replaced with public ownership and public operation. This, the co-ordinator believes, is the inevitable result. In this alone, railroad managers will And little solace. But they may be comforted by the fact that Mr. Eastman Ands that this is not the time for the government to take over the roads; that government Anances do not now permit it. and that government policies, regarding these and competing carriers, are not yet deAnitely Axed. - His further recommendation that eventually "grand scale" consolidations might be enforced upon the carriers probably will be no more popular with the managers. And so, meanwhile, what . . . ? Meanwhile, the co-ordinator would rely ehieAy upon the emergency act he is now administering. Changes may be made in that; he suggests now that its labor restrictions are unreasonable, and should be amended. He will report later and more fully on this. In our opinion, whether such changes should be made will depend not only upon business recovery, but also upon whether Mr. Eastman's hint that the “salvage of employes” should be a charge against savings, can be worked out. So it's still a matter of the railroads helping themselves, with government help. REPEAL’S FIRST EFFECTS IT is hard to avoid a feeling of dazed wonder at the way in which some restaurants have undertaken to announce the fact that they now are legally selling wines and hard liquors. A certain Aoweriness. a euphuistic turn of speech which could call a spade nothing less than a gleaming instrument for the turning c er of the rich bosom of mother earth —(f

something like that—seems to be coming into vogue. We find cocktails referred to as “those priceless adjuncts of graceful living.” Champagne becomes "the imprisoned laughter of the peasant girls of France.” And whisky now and then is praised in blurbs which nowhere actually mention the word itself. Probably this sort of thing is all for the best. Maybe It’s just an inevitable reaction from an era in which we talked bluntly of dago red. bathtub gin and com likker. But it does, somehow, seem just a trifle odd. THE NEW DEAL UNDER WAY ■fYTHATEVER the outcome of the new deal, * * the campaign of Franklin D. Roosevelt for nomination and election will go down as one of the most astute in the annals of American political history. James H. Guilfoyle has written an interesting story of the whole campaign, laying special stress upon the part played by Mayor Curley of Boston in furthering Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy <On the Trail of the Forgotten Man: A Journal of the Roosevelt Presidential Campaign. By James H. Guilfoyle. Peabody Master Printers). Impartial historians probably will fail to concede Mr. Curley so prominent a position, but Mr. Guilfoyle presents his case very cleverly and persuasively. The new deal under President Roosevelt has been all-embracing and has marched forward with such speed that the average man has great difficulty in sizing it up §s a whole or in understanding its specific details. J. George Frederick has rendered a rpal service by preparing a primer of the Roosevelt economic policy, “The Primer of ’New Deal’ Economics.” It states well ihe general principles upon whieh the new deal is founded, tells of the leading figures who have participated in its formulation, and analyzes the specific sections of the recovery plan. Nearly half of the book is given over to articles by Richberg, Swope, Baruch and members of the brain trust defending and interpreting the new deal. For the man on the street, who wishes to catch up with events of his day, this is a very useful volume. Dan Duffy and Harford Powell have conceived of the ingenious notion of presenting the first three months of the Roosevelt administration by means of a reproduction of the more characteristic headlines which have appeared day by day in the leading New York papers. The book is “The World’s Greatest Ninety-Nine Days.” The job is done in an effective fashion and those unable to do serious and protracted reading will find the book helpful in bringing their knowledge up to date. The juxtaposition of headlines from different papers is sometimes humorous as, for example, the headline in the Evening Journal stating that “twenty Morgan partners paid no income taxes in 1931-32,” followed by the New' York Sun proclaiming that “Stocks Soar 1 to 7.” There have been a number of books dealing with the effect of the, NR A upon industry and upon labor. Lawrence Valentine and E. B. Weiss have produced the first satisfactory book handling the import of the NRA for marketing and merchandising, “Business Under the Recovery Act.” It is a realistic and intelligent volume which should be read by all wholesale and retail merchants who have any desire to save the existing economic order. The authors quite frankly analyze the defects of the old capitalistic competition, including a list of some forty leading unfair trade practices w'hich have been utilized in the past. The experience with Germany with cartels and syndicates is investigated and approved. The authors believe.that the recovery act w’ill permit a similar organization of American industry and commerce, and they are definitely in favor of such a development. The book closes with a framing against industrial bootlegging. The authors have the good sense- -to recognize that the NRA is the last desperate effort to help the capitalists to survive and they warmly urge the latter to take advantage of the opportunity before it is too late. There is nothing radical in the philosophy of the book, but the writers see clearly that business will never return to permanent prosperity until its ethical level rises above that of racketeering. Bernard London offers a concise program for the revival of business prosperity in “The New Prosperity: Permanent Employment. Wise Taxation and Equitable Distribution of Wealth.” He would stimulate new production and industrial progress by taxing the prolonged use of obsolete commodities. He has logic enough to recognize, however, that new goods can not well be bought without money. Hence, he goes on to recommend measures for the re-employment of labor, the paying of adequate wages and the rescuing of the masses from the creditor aristocracy. Mr. London’s observations are keen and pungent, but many will be likely to hold that he has stated the problem rather than brought forth its solution.

BOOING THAT IS PRAISE THERE isn't much question that 4* Smith has lost a good deal of the popularity which was his a few years ago. If he wants to regain it, however, all Jie has to do is get his name hissed and booed a few more times by the henchmen of Tammany Hall. When the Tammany speakers' bureau bestowed a hearty razzberry on the name of Mr. Smith, the attendant ward-heelers unintentionally gave the gentleman quite a compliment. The nature of the compliment becomes apparent when you reflect that immediately afterward they rose and cheered heartily at a mention of the name of former Mayor Jimmy Walker. To be hissed by the braves of Tammany is to get an accolade, of a sort, which is really worth getting. The man who displeases Tammany is pretty apt to be a man who has done something in the interest oT the public at large. NEEDLESS DEATHS r T"'W O-THIRDS of the women who died in ■*- childbirth last year could have been saved. Sixty per cent of them died because of lack of knowledge or judgment on the part of the attending physician. Those are figures to be carefully considered by that parTof the population which feels active alarm at the growing trend toward

birth control. They should be oondered by those concerned with physical, ethicai and social well-being of this country. The figures were reported by a committee of the Academy' of Medicine and approved by the council of that body. They stand as a lasting reproach to a civilization which will tolerate such a condition. In a time of many immediate and harassing problems this one should not be overlooked. More hundreds of women will die this year unnecessarily. WE CAN’T LET GO THE gentleman who caught a bear by the tail, and who found hanging on a trying proposition, but didn't dare let go, because things would be very much worse if he did. seems to have had nothing on the present administration in its civil works program. The administration has been spending something like $50,000,000 a week on civil works employment. At that rate the existing fund will be exhausted by the middle of February. The President has asked congress to vote $350,000,000 more to carry the job along; yet it w'ould require more than twice that sum to take the program through May 1, if the present rate of operations is maintained. Right here the administration would seem to hafe a wide-open chance to get itself into a lot of grief. The tough part of it is that, back of those stupendous sums of money, there is a stupendous number of human beings who w'ill get a cruel and tragic disillusionment if the problem is not handled just so. Also, though it might be mean to mention the fact, they are all voters. Already the CWA is showing signs of creaking. Money is beginning to run short. Hours of work have been reduced. In some localities men are being laid off. The theory, of course, is that the CWA program can be tapered off as private business revives sufficiently to absorb the men who are discharged. But that time hardly seems to have arrived. One locality, where CWA men are being laid off, reports that applications for relief have been increasing of late. It would take an optimist to believe that prosperity will return so fast that private business can absorb all 4,000.000 CWA men by next May. The administration has on its hands a program w'hich can not be continued indefinitely, but which can not be cut off suddenly without causing profound disappointment to a great many people. These CWA men had not had jobs for a long time—for years, in many cases—before the government put them to work. Many of them had been on the relief rolls. To cut them adrift before new jobs are open w'ould be cruel. So w'hat? Well, the administration would seem to be up against one of its biggest tests, it may not exactly be between the devil and the deep blue sea, but it at least can understand the emotions which beset the gentleman W'ho had a bear by the tail. Sally Rand is going to tour the country in vaudeville, so that you can see for yourself whether it’s the fan or the dance that makes her popular. Harvey Bailey, notorious kidnaper, went on a hunger strike in Leavenw'orth. There’s one man w'ho doesn't insist the world owes him a living.

Liberal Viewpoint i=.By DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES =

Editor’s Note—This is the first of two articles by Harry Elmer Barnes, Ph. D., on the opposition of the professors to Mr. Roosevelt's monetary policies. AS has often been the case in the past, academic elements are lining up w T ith the bankers and other reactionaries and joining in the panic cry against infiation. Already, a number of professional groups have issued manifestos denouncing infiation. Petitions have been drawn up. beginning with that of the thir-ty-eight Columbia professors, demanding the cessation of the administration’s monetary policies and urging a return to the good old “sound money” policies that landed us in the Black Friday of March 3, 1933. Indeed, an economists' national committee on monetary policy, headed by leading deflationists, has been formed. Meeting recently at Philadelphia, they demanded that the administration should abandon its monetary experimentation immediately, in order to “dissipate the widespread fear of infiation and reduce the financial demoralization now retarding recovery.” College and university professors have a very special interest in opposing inflation. The funds from which theii 4 salaries are paid are derived mainly from interest on bonds and mortgages. This interest rate is fixed and its purchasing power would decline in proportion to price rises. it tt tt YET. the supreme obligation of scholars is not to maintain their purchasing power but to afford authoritative and dispassionate guidance for the public. Professors of economics are supposed to be among our nost reliable experts on economic and financial affairs. Their sense of responsibility to the public should rise above immediate self-iriterest. Indeed, they should be sufficiently well informed and logical to recognize that even their self-interest is today most likely to be forwarded by reasonable inflation. If deflationary tactics are revived and allowed to wreck business still further, there is likely to be wholesale defaulting in the payment of interest on bonds and mortgages. It is doubtful, however, if the critics of the professors who explain the opposition of the latter to inflation wholly on the ground of immediate self-interest are entirely correct. Most academic opponents of inflation sincerely believe in what they say, though some may sign” a manifesto as a result of local pressure with their tongues in their cheeks. B tt tt PROFESSORS, like everybody else, are victims of stereotypes. The most powerful of all stereotypes in conventional economic doctrine are the “money illusion” and the “hard money” dogma. Not even the law of supply and demand possesses such sanctity. Then, some financial experts are possessors of single track minds and victims of the ‘ ideal of the theater.” They are passionately wedded to the doctrines of their own school of financial thought. Finally, university professors, like other mortals. are subject to the sentiment of the invidious. They boil inwardly at the spectacle of one or two of their number receiving special public recognition or getting extended and protracted public acclaim. It is quite understandable how irresponsible anti-inflation propagandists can frighten the man-in-the-street through the use of all sorts of absurd historical analogies and the utterance of completely unsupportable allegations about the disastrous effects of controlled inflation. University professors, most of all professors of economics, should, however, be proof against vulgar assaults. Any professor of economics worth his salt certainly must know that any inflation which looms on the horizon today is not of a “serious" character.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

(Times readers are invited to express their views in these columns. Make your letters short, so all can have a chance. Limit them to 250 words or less.) HE HAS IT IN FOR GOVERNOR M NUTT By J. Brook. After reading the letter written to your paper by E. W. Pratt and published Jan. 23. I am just wondering if Mr. Pratt is an inmate of the seven steeples, as I believe these people who are unfortunate in not being able to see the light, and such an assertion from there about the way Governor McNutt has lessened the burden on taxpayers would sound all right. I dare say that any taxpayer in Indiana will disagree with E. W. Pratt. Real estate tax instead of being cut in half has been raised about 40 per cent, not only increased rates but increased valuations as well. I don’t understand how any person who has been paying taxes could make such a silly assertion. Governor McNutt not only has increased property tax but has made legal all sorts of new taxes which every one must pay. So, with facing actualities, I believe this E. W. Pratt must be somewhere out of the knowing and God forbid that this Paul V. McNutt will be President of the United States. One good thing is that he does not stand a ghost of a chance and I believe he will be extremely lucky to serve out his time as Governor. tt a o WELL, M. G. L., WE ARE, AREN’T WE? Bv M. G. L. Why do people take everything so seriously? Westbrook Pegler and Hey wood Broun are, like their articles, so different that they cau not be compared.

The jelly fish Democratic congressmen are hypnotized. The taxpayers at home, in hopeless agony, are watching each other starve to death. The superstitious ones, in prayerful attitude. are looking toward the Capitol for signs of a miracle. A weak-kneed nation can not endure. We have moved swiftly from independence to dependence in the so-called new deal. New. when? It is a cross between absolute monarchism and feudalism. Moses tried out a plan of dividing the Israelites into tribes, each with certain labors to perform, and exacting certain tributes from their crops and flocks, to keep the idle governing body in luxury. The plan failed. Moses sought solitude in the mountain to write the ten basic laws. While Moses was away, Aaron tried to rule the people, but they got beyond control. So Aaron gathered in all the gold which was melted up and made into a golden calf for an object of worship to satisfy the vanity of an idolatrous race. America has its shrines and temples. statuary and memorials. The gold is being called in. Be patient, people, it will only be a short time, if we keep on looking east we shall

‘VIEW FROM BACKSTAGE’

Comes to Defense of Captain Ray

By a Loyal Supporter of Our Police Department. I also witnessed the so-called one-act play staged by Captain Otto Ray at Pennsylvania and Market streets on Jan. 4. Mrs. J. D.’s version of the affair is entirely different from mine. I observed and heard everything that transpired. Captain Ray certainly did not sw'ear or act unbecoming an officer, but for the life of me I can’t understand how he kept as cool as he did under the -circumstances. From the time of Mrs. J. D.’s letter I suppose that she was one of the three women who were together and took quite a part in this so-called one-act play. The unbecoming conduct which I observed w'as on the part of one of these three women who, I believe, was Mrs. J. D. Captain Ray was talking to the taxi driver regarding a law violation. The taxi driver, prompted by Mrs. J. D„ was acting in a very surly and impudent manner. To avoid blocking traffic, Captain Ray ordered the taxi driver into

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE, SAUCE FOR ROOSTER By V. D. Vincent. In Friday’s message center you headlined. “Can You Answer This, Mrs. Alderson?” I take it you meant this writer, and here is the answer. Evidently, Mrs. Merle Nichols. Mr. Allen Alderson. and Mr. A. Wonderer did not read the beginning and did not follow up the controversy between Mr. George Stephens and myself. The issue is Mr. Stephens’ insinuations of Governor McNutt's “political” terror gang and graft. It is unethical to make accusations by insinuations. I'resent Mr. Stephens’ letter and would like him to give facts, particularly about graft. The “crime” terror gang is, of course, to be regretted and the Michigan City affair should not have happened; as it is. worse things —riots, shootings, killings, firehave occurred and are occurring almost weekly in other states’ institutions. Os course, that does not excuse Indiana prison troubles. The discharging of the Republican personnel in Michigan City and in other state institutions is. under prevailing present political condi-

A Woman’s Viewpoint Ry MRS. WALTER FERGUSON -

FEMININE as well as masculine ranks can boast a redoubtable Babe. Didrickson. star woman athlete, wonder of the age, now lends cheer to the girls by issuing a pronouncement. Indeed it is a bit more than that; .it is a challenge to tradition. “Men,” she says, “are fine sports and. all that but no good to a woman who wants to get ahead.” They're a bother and a hindrance and marriage, therefore, is out for her. She's sitting on top of the world, and no big, swell boy is going to coax her off. All of which goes to prove one thing only—that Babe Didrickson is 20. Doubtless Eros smiles. He has heard many such fine sentences go ringing down the ages, sentences which are prompted by ambition and by pulsing youth that dreams of wondrous deeds. As for me. the Babe gets all my applause. I think it’s fine to know we have come so far along tfee road of intellectual progress that a girl can make such a statement without provoking any outbursts of disdain a?d disapproval.

a parking space. Mrs. J. D. and her two friends followed. Among the remarks made by Mrs. J. D. to Captain Ray was, “You would arrest your own brother.” She repeated this time and time again. Captain Ray at no time made any answer whatsoever. He certainly treated Mrs. J. D. with courtesy and respect which she did not deserve. My advice to Mrs. J. D. is, “Mind your own business, hereafter, if you want to be treated with courtesy and respect because the next officer might not be the gentleman that Captain Ray was, and you might get that ride to headquarters which you deserved.” Although a witness to this oneact play staged by Mrs. J. D., I only learned who Captain Ray was through Mrs. J. D.’s article on this page Jan. 19, and not from the taxi driver whom ,Mrs. J. D. calls an observer. I have been a reader of The Times many years, and know you believe in fair play, and will print this letter as soon as possible.

A few days ago there appeared in your paper * an article written in a humorous vein regarding the action of an electric meter which had suddenly seemed to have gone berserk, and how the helpless patron had made frantic efforts to have the company come and see what ailed the meter’s “innards.” After ten days, the necessary repairs were made, so the article relates, and all was notsy totsy except the s2l charge. I do not know what was at fault in the case, but in my twenty-five years of electrical experience I have yet to find a case where the customer’s apparatus tr wiring was not the trouble due to poor construction. This may happen any time where wiring is not in good condition. My i advice to this class of complaint would be: First call a competent i electrician, have him trace and correct the trouble and make a written

BOYS have said these things many times. They have said that marriage would spoil their chances for success, that a wife would hamper their career, and all such balderdash. And usually they got married .n the end. When they didn't they probably lived to regret it. So I imagine the intrepid Babe will also some time do a sprint to the altar. It gets pretty lonesome sitting on top of the world all by yourself. One day —although we must not whisper this to the young, gallant, hopeful Babe the legs will tire of running round and round tracks. The arms will weary of nothing but the slinging of javelins. The heart will have enough of the handclappings of grandstands. Then our Babe will go back to the immemorial business of women—love, husband, home, babies. There is no work. however spectacular. that can compensate for the loss of them all. When it comes to living, careers for both men and women are only avocations.

I would like to’ see this new deal for the working people, when, and if, it comes to this city. Having seen Barnum & Bailey’s, the previous biggest show, I know this one would be great' Why were the few basket men put on? Was it to encourage the others, or as a smoke screen? After the first two weeks it has been harder to get a membership in the CWA than is the most exclusive club. Thousands of citizens have spent the year filing application for relief jobs. Thousands have been hired, but from where? Are they not using the poor list at all? Why are three or four employed from families of four or five? Why is it necessary to own a farm (title clear) or store, or have a pension, to qualify? Why does a newcomer rate higher than a citizen of four, five, ten, fifteen or twenty years’ citizenship? Why expose the petty light company racket and boost the local CKA? When mention the amateur California CWA gang? In numbers, the CWA would have riepleted Marion county’s trustee list. Why didn’t it? Why should a pensioner with four pensions in a family of five, register at 10 a. m. and be called at 3 p. m. Why should men who resign jobs one day, apply for and obtain CWA jobs the next day? Why are not the August applications used. P. S.—Why doesn’t Editor Powell investigate? Editor's Note—The Times is investigating. u a u A TIMES CARRIER TELLS HIS STORY By A Times Carrier.
