FRIDAY FEB 18 1934 DON’T BLOCK RECOVERY 'T'HE President has moved with speed—and with Justice on his side—to scotch the attempt of railroad managements to throw a inonkey wrench Into the recovery machinery. Apparently utterly oblivious to the fact that the national aim is to raise purchasing power, the railroads have demanded another pay cut from their employes. As soon as this word reached Washington the White House announced that the President had written the management asking for an extension, for at least another six months, of the present agreement whereby 10 per cent is being deducted from the pay of railway workers. ‘ Under present conditions,” Mr. Roosevelt wrote, “the prosecution of a bitter controversy between the railroads and their employes over wages would have a mo6t disturbing influence, and I am further convinced that conditions are not yet sufficiently stable to permit of a wise determination of what wages should be for the future."’ The railroads made their ridiculous demand just as they are beginning to see increased revenue; just as Joseph Eastman, federal co-ordinator of transportation, has announced he will recommend —in the interest of the carriers—changes in the labor provisions of the emergency railroad transportation act to ease them. They ask this sacrifice from their employes while the federal public works administration is lending railroads about $200,000,000 to build up their plant and equipment to provide employment, while the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, another government agency, is preparing to make even more railroad loans. The railroads want and are getting help from the government. Their demand for another wage cut would indicate they do not want to help recovery. If they do, they will heed President Roosevelt's request. THE WAY THINGS GO it is because a man has held the lvl. center of the stage ever since Adam blamed Eve for choosing the wrong apple for that first unfortunate breakfast. Nobody really knows, of course. But the 7'orld of men holds considerable more interest for women than their lipstick realm does for the butcher, the baker, and candle-stick maker. The play begins at an early age. Miss Marjorie Barrows, editor of Child Life, says that there must boa picture of a boy on the cover of her magazine if she expects the sales to mount. Os course, if there is room on the sled or the handle-bars, a girl may go along. If there isn't, then it's the maid's day off. Statistics, gleaned from news stands, have proved that the youngsters, mostly under 12, who read the magazine want the masculine influence. For a girl will read boys' books but a boy is scornful of girls' books. Girls will play boys’ games, too. Leap frog, mafbles. baseball, kite flying. But when did you ever see a boy playing jacks, skipping rope, or sewing a hem in a rag doll's dress? No. They don't want to enter our world. They have a nicer one of their own. And the only way we can get into it is by being such an interested audience that after a while we are given credit for enough intelligence to try a game or two. Men. when they discover that women are capable of walking right down the main thoroughfare. grow a little fearful. No man wants a woman who can ride faster than he can, throw a ball farther than he can. think straighter than h* can. And no woman, by the same measuring stick, wants her strength to exceed that of the man who has promised to love her. cherish her and sock in the jaw any chance male who makes passes at her! But women need a great deal of intelligence to play the role. For a man grows weary of a woman who merely says "yes" to every one of his suggestions. He can buy a phonograph record and get the right responses. He wants intelligence. A pair of china blue eyes and hair like flax may turn a February blizzard into an April thaw but winter comes again—if the woman isn't intelligent. And intelligent enough to keep the man from knowing that his today's comment is something she thought after breakfast yesterday. Margot Asquith, countess of Oxford and Asquith, who has had ample opportunity to observe the men of the world, creates considerable interest when she remarks in her new book. More or Less About Myself.” that her life has been happier than that of any woman she has known . . , Because her husband has never let his love for her usurp his interest in their conversation! Lady Oxford is brave! She admits that women prefer dialogues to monologues. And she proves that men don't! For when a man did he made his wife Jubilantly happy. Since being a good audience is one of the things asked of us there is nothing to do but be one. But when we find a man who lets us talk. too. we are likely to be so pleased that we will sit quietly and give him a bigger floor' OUR LIBERTIES AMERICA is losing too many civil liberties —and not knowing it. “At no time.” says the annual report of the American Civil Liberties union, "has there been such widespread violation of the workers’ right* by injunctions, troops, private police, deputy sheriffs, labor spies and vigilantes.” % More than fifteen strikers have been killed, 200 injured and hundreds arrested since last July. Forty injunctions have been issued against labor leaders. The national labor board has “lacked the will or the power to

overcome the defiance of employers.” Only where labor has been well organized have lta legal rights been respected. Last year twenty-four Negroes and four whites were killed by mobs. California, whose Governor keeps Mooney and Billings in Jail and “gloated” over a double lynching, heads the union's blacklist. Alabama. Maryland's eastern shore, the mine and factory regions of Pennsylvania and Illinois are described as freedom's burial grounds. The union agrees that the Roosevelt leadership has been a liberalizing leaven. Its immigration and Indian bureaus, its state department and some other agencies display a new spirit. But where property interests are affected directly its influence has been least effective. One wonders what would have happened had a reactionary government been in charge of reconstruction. COURTESY WILL HELP TT is interesting to read that immigration officials have been ordered by Washington to be more courteous and pleasant to Immigrants who arrive at ports of entry into the United States. In the past, the American immigration service has not been exactly famous lor Its smooth-voiced and smiling courtesy —and neither, for that matter, has the immigration service of any other nation. And it's a point well worth correcting. The new arrival in any country forms his first conception of the new land by his first contact with its officials. If they are hardboiled and unsympathetic, lie’s apt to get an unfavorable conception, and it may stick with him a long time. Courtesy doesn’t cost anything, and it can pay substantial dividends in the form c£ good will. SENSELESS ECONOMY ' I 'HERE'S an odd new form of mental disease afloat in the land, according to Dr. Alvan L. Barach, New York psychiatrist, and it keeps its victims from spending money which they well could afford to spend. In a report tc the National Committee for Mental Hygiene, Dr. Barach says this ailment is born of the depression and afflicts people in the higher income brackets. They get a vague and reasonless sense of guilt, and they try to atone for it by spending less money. Rich men do without their cars, rich women dismiss their maids. If their income is cut 25 per cent, they cut their expenditures by 50 per cent. They have a hazy feeling that it isn't right to spend money “in times like these.” It is against such people, says the psychiatrist, that “buy now” campaigns must be directed. Their senseless refusal to spend what they easily could afford to spend holds up re_ covery and does no one any good. A DISTINCTION A RRESTING MacCracken for contempt of v the senate investigators reminds of the Harry Sinclair case. MacCracken hires a lawyer who advises challenge of the senate committee’s right to cause his punishment. If that lawyer is wrong. MacCracken goes to jail, and has to pay his lawyer. Why isn’t it the lawyer who is in contempt and should be the one jailed? If a doctor prescribed arsenic, instead of, say, milk toast, and thereby killed his patient, the doctor would be liable for damages, perhaps be punished legally and ought to be kicked out of the medical profession. There’s a distinction. There's punishment for the ignorant or careless doctor who trifles with a man’s stomach, but none for the lawyer with opinions of any sort for hire who trifffes with a man’s freedom. Buy a can of corn that’s full of lead poisoning and the seller thereof is mighty glad to make restitution. Buy a lawyer's opinion that is worthless and you not only pay for it. but may go to jail to boot. And it’s our lawyer-packed congresses and legislatures that have so fixed it, TEETH IN IT VITITH the government spending billions of dollars the opportunities for conspiracy and collusion and graft are almost unlimited, and wise is it in President Roosevelt to serve notice with teeth in it on all parties desirous of doing work for the government. But Mr. Roosevelt's notice to the air mail contractors also may prove to be another noble experiment. If the army planes can carry considerable part of the mails.in an emergency, why not as a regular thing? It would lead to more planes and more pilots, convertible into augmentation of national defense, to say nothing of the saving of millions of tax money. We now have thousands of army men doing little save air stunts and a standing army of 100,000 doing little save parading. Mr. Roosevelt has the courage to hold them as a threat to the grafters, which is a good thing, even if a shock to big business and somewhat dictatorish. NEEDLESS MARTYRS "TN times like these, we ought to be willing to -*• deprive ourselves of new dresses, sweets, salad courses at meals—what not.” You might be surprised to know how often such sentiments as these are expressed among women's gatherings. To change the point of view of such "martyrs” may seem hopeless. Yet not until a few days ago did we learn that persons who talk like this are suffering not merely from economic misunderstanding, but also from a mental disease which psychiatrists say is akin to masochism—one suffering from an abnormality which makes him enjoy being hurt. Dr. Alvan L. Barach. New York psychiatrist. says the new disease attacks men and women who are attempting to satisfy their consciences by “tuning in on suffering they know others are undergoing. Thus, without considering the consequences to others or to the economic social scheme, men will do without automobiles, women will deprive themselves of needed clothing refuse to call up their friends because telephone calls cost 5 or 10 cents each, reduce the family expenditures for food beyond all reason. Os a course a reduced income makes reduced expenditures inevitable. But it is those who were living within their means before the depression and who now, with a 25 or 30 per cent reduction in income, have cut themselves down to 50 or even 75 per cent of their former

standard of living, who may truly be said to be mentally awry. Aft£r the doctor's analysis, it will be a brave person who will criticise a neighbor's expenditures for needed new cars, equipment, clothing, electric appliances, “when so many people have nothing to eat.” LAWYER OWES A DUTY TTTHAT does it take to make a good lawyer? * * Probably there are a lot of answers to that question. Earle W. Evans of Wichita, Kan., president of the American Bar Association. supplies one version In a recent speech before Harvard law school students. Here is the program he suggested for budding lawyers: “Make speeches which show that you know the law; go to church so that the ‘best citizens’ will see you; take part in public affairs; join the Chamber of Commerce and a service organization; get known as a public-spirited citizen; be a man of strong convictions; engage in bill collecting, as that's a good way to make contacts; join bar associations; get a thorough knowledge of accounting, engineering and chemistry.” Asa guide book for fledgling attorneys, this is probably a very handy bit of advice. But to the layman it is rather remarkable for the things that it does not say. The modern lawyer often gets in a very peculiar dilemma. His duty to his client, and to himself, can cut directly across his duty to society as a whole. He doesn't perform his functions in a vacuum, but in a highly complex and -delicately integrated society where his deeds can have effects that he neither desired nor foresaw. The lawyer, for instance, who specializes in keeping gangsters out of jail eventually may, through no wish of his own, fill a role which is actively anti-social. The lawyer who advises great financiers how to evade income tax payments and sidestep government regulations designed to control the activities of high finance can become a man who does society much more harm than good. The lawyer who shows a stock speculator how he can get around the rules which cover stock exchange activities can become something little better than a parasite on society. This peculiar criss-crossing of the lawyer’s public and private duties raise a complex problem which, so far, the legal profession hardly has Attempted to solve. Advice to budding lawyers—so the laymen would suppose—might properly touch on it a little. Now, if General Johnson had handled the matter, he'd have had Mr, MacCracken crackin’.

Liberal Viewpoint

By DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES

NEWS of any kind on prisons is good for at least one blast from Judge Marcus Kavanagh of Chicago, that old war horse who never tires of charging that our present crime problem is due to the coddling of prisoners. On the heels of the Welfare Island raid he comes out with a long article in the New York Sunday Times, protesting that our prisoners have become clubs and hoarding schools and sternly demanding a return to harsh severity, even including the whipping of prisoners. The judge tells us that he recently visited a prison and details his sensations thereupon. At the outset, the judge was shocked to find that the prisoners had clean and soft beds and edible food in sufficient quantities. He was further amazed to behold such elegance in table service as a knife, fork and pewter cup for each prisoner. He was even more astonished to discover that the prison actually contained offices for a surgeon. a dentist and an oculist. This apparently was all out of place to the judge in anything properly known as a prison. But this was only the beginning of the amazing conditions-which the judge uncovered as he proceeded further in his investigation of the institution. Three times a week, no less, the inmates were permitted to attend a lecture, a concert or a motion picture show within the walls. In warm weather, teams of inmates were allowed to play baseball and football. a a tt WORST of all. prisoners were granted the right to engage in such dangerous and exciting pursuits as “listening to all the speeches of leading statesmen and other thinkers.” Quite unthinkable was the fact that inmates were allowed to buy tobacco and candy. The judge looked about vainly for the whipping post, -but to his vast chagrin and disappointment he found none. Believe it or not, the only punishment permitted in this institution was solitary confinement, loss of ordinary prison privileges and personal disgrace. On the basis of these devastating revelations, the judge unhesitatingly describes such institutions as this as a club “which surpasses by far the comforts of the victims and their families ... Asa matter of fact, it is safe to say that more than half the prisoners are enjoying more comfortable quarters, better food and clothing, more constant and higher class medical attendance than ever before in their lives.” Yet, somehow, the judge's story does not seem to hang together. He portrays the luxuriant quarters and elegant appointments of our penal “men's club” and “boarding schools’ ’in such intriguing fashion that we might imagine long lines would form outside to take advantage of the first vacancy in any cell block. Least of all would we expect that any man who had known the advantages and comforts of life in one of these select residential halls would wish to leave them to enter the cruel and cold world outside. tt tt a NEVERTHELESS, marvels do happen, and the judge himself informs us that these “club members” don't like to stay in their “club” or to come back after they leave. The last half of the judge's article is given over very largely to dolorous details relative to the impressive number of escapes executed by prisoners each year—2,soo away back in 1923 when club facilities were even more attractive, due to the fact that there was less crowding. Even today, when the club members face the prospect of unemployment and starvation in the depression conditions outside, they will murder and burn in order to leave luxury behind. And escaped club members will even hide in river bottoms and cane brakes, risking the grossest exposure and suffering, rather than be brought back to their sumptuous abodes. Moreover, the judge can give us no evidence that even in his own state of Illinois there is any long list of applicants for membership in the men's club at Joliet. What Judge Kavanagh has failed to do is to acquaint himself with the barest essentials of the modern science of penology. If we are ever to reform criminals, they must be prepared for life as it is lived outside prisons. Hence, the model prison must go as far as possible in reproducing the conditions and responsibilities of normal life. Judge Kavanagh is a lawyer in the great city of Chicago. We wonder if he would believe that the best preparation for a young associate in his law office would be pearl fishing in the South Seas. Chicago has plenty of good libraries on the subject of history and criminal law. It might pay the judge to read up on criminal law, prison conditions and the crime rate in seventeenth century England where the stern methods of punishment he recommends were vigorously applied.

Well, what do you know about this one you speak of? It was voted in by a standing vote after a motion had been made and seconded, and representatives elected by secret ballot. Now, who railroaded anything? From your viewpoint, the Progress Laundry employes are a bunch of dumbbells and fools. From my viewpoint they are sensible and cooperative, each one of whom wants to beat the depression and bring back prosperity. Why dig up the war because Mr. Baum was of German birth. He is an honest, plain-spoken man. who has made the problems of employes and employer a life study, and has at last found a fair and square way to solve them. A true American will give the new deal a fair trial and co-operate with the employers who are living up to the NRA as the Progress Laundry is now doing and will continue to do, regardless of such censorship as you offer.

When a piece gets so good it makes a radical columnist admit he has no sense of humor, it must be downright good. Although the results on the radical must have been just a flareup, nothing permanent. Radicals are not like that. Peglers’ bit of fiction was equal to Gulliver’s Travels, better, in fact, because shorler. Still and all. Pegler would improve if he wrote 500 words.

THIS FOG WILL LIFT

Against the Hay shakers

By a Main- Street Observer. I agree with Westbrook Pegler that the honest hayshaker is taking Uncle Sam to the cleaners. I live in a country town thirty miles south of Indianapolis—it is typically Main street. The reactions are easily a cross section of rural human life anywhere in the country. The children of Israel, lost for forty • years in the wilderness, could not have wailed more plaintively than the hard-pressed farmer of today. I meet dozens of farmers each week, and it is rare, indeed, to find one that is optimistic. This morning I said to one. “I suppose you feel better, now that hogs have advanced?” His reply was no surprise to me—it was the stock answer they all give: “Well, the price won’t help when I haven’t any to sell—l sold mine when they were cheap.” A short time ago when eggs were going up I queried a farmer's wife: "I am glad to see you are getting more for your eggs now.” Her reply was not unexpected, “The price doesn’t help me any, my hens aren't laying.” Yet one of our grocers tells me that oleomargerine is his best seller to the farmers, despite the

friends, but you soon lose interest in this or that person and seek new friends, maybe finding fault everywhere, while the fault is within yourself. Life seems empty and you never are satisfied. You can't smash down that wall unless you undo each crooked deed that built it so high. This you may find a very hard task. So why not play square with ourselves? nun EMPLOYE IS LOYAL TO PROGRESS LAUNDRY By An Employe for Four Years. Don’t bite the hand that has fed you all through the depression.

Bv MRS. WALTER FERGUSO

IF the government of the United States can call in all the gold, why can t it also call in all the guns? The Display of firearms found in the New York City prison, the story of which has scandalized the country, is perhaps the most reprehensible of the many reprehensible phases of that affair. America is knee-deep in guns—hence she is Rnee-deep in crime, deadly weapons repose and can be bought in every dirty little pawnshop in the land. They lie concealed beneath the lovely lingerie of lax ladies and within the desk drawers of captains of finance and industry. They are on the shelves, alongside the potato masher, in the housewife's kitchen and. everybody from guttersnipe to gentleman boasts a family arsenal. For every weapon the policeman carries the ordinary citizen owns two and the bandit half a dozen. In the possession of revolvers, at! least, there is no class distinction with us.

constant plaintive note about the low price of cream. The landowner who oftentimes becomes embattled upon provocation, cr persuasion, is the same man who paid his labor 75 cents a day last year, even though com and wheat had doubled in price. I am against more handouts to she farmer. Look how wheat production has jumped, despite the government’s effort to restrict. A few farmers sign up—the rest attend the meeting, and hurry home to put out more wheat. The situation reminds me of the little state of Delaware. In 1917 strawberries brought $5 a crate; *ten years later, after all the hayshakers rushed to plant strawberries, the price was 90 cents a crate. If the farmer won’t help himself, I am in favor of legislation forcing on him the curtailment of his acreage. Or, better still, let him try the basket plan for a while, like millions of his city brethren. Then, perhaps, he will put his shoulder to the plow and his face to the sun, instead of wondering what is happening on Main street, or watching the mail for the latest shakedown check from Washington.

I see in your Message Center a young man writes about the difficulties of single men, and signs his name W. H. H. He says young men have not a chance in the world.

tT’S high time we did something -*• about it, too. Our guns should be hunted down and destroyed by federal officials if need be, because in this respect the people must be protected against themselves. It should be possible to keep a check of the weapons manufactured by our armament makers. It should be possible to make a feeble attempt to prevent smuggling and sale of weapons in the country. When such an attempt is begun it will be easier to apprehend the criminal, because possession of a gun would mark a man as one. The first step toward becoming a murderer is to carry a gun. Swift, sure, easy death is possible with the touch of a finger. And all the arguments in favor of the decent citizen arming himself as a protection against the bandit are, I think, petered out. With all our arsenals at hand we never have managed to do it. A gun in the hands of any citizen except an officer should mark him with the brand of Cain. We never shall be able to disarm the bandits until we disarm ourselves.

son we have so much crime. Then he says. “I have walked the streets of Indianapolis two weeks hunting work.” I wish to say to this young man that I was once a young man, and now I am four years older than the President of the United States—our birthdays coming on the same day, and I never have seen the poor forsaken or the righteous begging bread. have reared two boys of my own and a stepson and one daughter. I never knew either one of them to walk the streets looking for work. I taught them that the city had street cleaners and would call them when they were needed. The. trouble with many young men is that they walk the streets looking for someone to give them something they come in contact with some of those ignorant Communists who forever are walking the streets spewing out their ignorance to young men. His letter just sounds like some of their spew. I want to tell Mr. W. H. H. of my stepson. He finished Washington high school in 1929. worked for a farmer thirty-five miles from the city, worked for room and board and $1 a day. On June 20. 1931, he had saved up enough money to buy a car and get married. In January, 1932. he got a job overseeing a stock farm. and. at present, is making a good living and saving some money. He took a chance, and did not walk the streets, begging someone to give him something, aud listening to dirty, rotten Communism. I am making a living. I live in the city, do not work at my trade, which is carpentering, but I find something to do, and support a wife. I am 56. Young man, will you let a man of 56 put it over on you that way? So be a good sport. Apologize for your waiting in the Message Center. Quit walking the streets. Get busy and support yourself. Be a man. and you never will become a criminal. a a HERE’S SOLUTION TO 5-CENT BEER QUERY. By Eugene L. How can the public get a 5-cent glass of beer? The answer is this: If the government reduces the tax on beer, i. e. $2 for the government and $1 for the state. This would cause many more empty barrells, and more money due to a larger volume of beer being drunk. There also should be standardsize bottles and glasses for the benefit of every one. Wine should come undex* the same tax as beer in proportion to the tax as it now is. Government salesrooms should handle the whisky, and if a restaurant owner wished to sell it he should buy it direct from one of the government stores, and be under its supervision.
