TUESDAY. FEB 20. 1934. THE RECORD MAIL FLIGHT 11TE are glad Captain Eddie Rickenbacker ” ’ broke the transcontinental mail transport record in his spectacular flight yesterday. Not only because the war ace is a great flier, but because something like this was needed to symbolize the bravery, fidelity and efficiency of those who have flown the commercial mail lines. The air mail scandals, which have necessitated cancellation of the private contracts, touch those company promoters and others who have chiefly a money motive in aviation. But none of that tarnishes in any way—indeed it merely emphasizes by contrast—the successful operation of the lines by the pilots, mechanics, radio men, and engineers, whose service to aviation and to the country has been exceedingly great. The country understands and appreciates that service. THE HOUSE ABDICATES WITH, doubtless, the best intentions in the world, the Democratic leaders of the house of representatives are discrediting the administration in the eyes of the country. When word goes out that the house has been reduced to the point of impotence where its membership no longer is permitted even to propose amendments to a tax bill, then it is inevitable that a feeling of resentment should spread. For the house was given primary control over public money solely because it was, in the beginning, the one branch of the federal government close to the people and responsive to their wishes. Centuries of struggle had established the tradition that the popular branch of a government should hold the purse strings. Today the Democratic leadership of the house has completed a long process of attrition by which this vital function has been surrendered. The beginning came, of course, when the house allowed its membersnip to increase to the point where free and unlimited debate became a physical impossibility. To function at all the overcrowded house had to have some measure of boss rule. But today, for no reason that seems evident, boss ruie has been extended to a point far beyond anything called for in the interest of simple efficiency. There is no indication that this was done at the request of President Roosevelt. The tax bill under consideration was not proposed by him. although the bill as finally drawn was approved by the treasury. A gagged house of representatives is decided’y a discredit tc the President whose policies it undertakes to expound. In the senate, which is today far more representative of the public than is the house, the tax bill will be debated and amended. Yet the house can be so manipulated by its bosses that the senate may be forced so choose between abandoning its amendments or defeating the tax bill altogether. This is not representative government. It is not even intelligent autocracy. Some have suggested that the public actually might be more faithfully served if the house of representatives were abolished altogether and this only truly representative body were left to function unhampered. Whether or not this conclusion is sound—and it probably is not—resentment towuiri the house will grow if it aoes not reassert its powers as a deliberative body. GREAT LEADERS. FOLLOWERS CELEBRATION of Washington's birthday this year likely is to result in some rather • far-fetched attempts to figure out just how the father of his country would react to the new deal, if he could come back to earth and draw a hand in it. Such attempts are far-fetched because those who make them have nothing to go on. The world of today is as unlike the world that Washington knew as the world of the Caesars. We can say, if we like, that Washington would feel thus and so about railroad mergers, crop reduction plans, stock exchange regulation, and Tennessee valley projects—but if we do, we shall be talking through our hats, because all those things were completely outside the range of his experience. It might be more useful if we stopped figuring out how Washington would react to modem problems and began to wonder how we ourselves would react to Washington. Any national leader can be great only to the extent that the people he leads give him their support—their courage, their endurance, their loyalty. Washington's greatness consisted largely in the fact that he was able to find those qualities in abundance in the disorganized and bewildered colonies of his day. Had he been unable to do so, independence never would have been won—and he himself probably would have wound up on a gallows on London's Tower HilL Suppose, then, that he did come back to lead us today—would he find us the kind of people a great leader can use? Would we be too wrapped up in the scramble for personal gain to listen to him? Would we be too busy with our pleasant diversions—our sports and our recreations, our baseball and our movies and our week-end automobile trips—to bother with a man who sought to command all our loyalty and faith and steadfastness? Would we, in short, be the kind of men Washington commanded in the ola days—or would he look us over, and shake his head, and aigh for the ragged, profane veterans of Valley Forge? Those questions really are worth asking. , Usually we observe Washington’s birthday by Comparing him with our present-day leaders. ly would be a lot more to the point if we used

the chance to compare ourselves with the men Washington led. Are we as good men as they were? If we aren't, we’d better start to change. For if the present hour, as even-body says, calls for great leadership—it also calls for great followers. ON LAND AND SEA 'T'HE long fight started by the elder La FolA lette to apply the simple rules of labor justice to workers of the sea can be won under NRA, unless the greed of ship owners again inten-enes. Since last August representatives of a half million seaman and dock workers have been urging a master shipping code providing for a national maritime board, or some similar device, under which the workers and owners could meet on equal footing. This the ship owners have refused. There is proposed a system of national and regional labor boards in which, without recognizing unions, the owners also are opposing the workers’ demands for a forty-four-hour week in port, labor representation on the code authorities and the right of union representatives to board ships to talk with the men. All these rights are being granted to land workers. General Johnson is urging a thirty-two-hour week for all American labor. Some codes permit workers’ spokesmen on the code authority. The right to organize unions is orthodox to the whole new deal philosophy and law. The Black committee hearings have revealed the wealth of government generosity to American ship owners. We learn that these have collected $140,000,000 in ocean mail subsidies since 1928, borrowed at per cent and less over $144,000,000, bought government vessels for $40,000,000 that cost the taxpayers $560,000,000. A little justice if not generosity on the ship owners’ part would not be asking too much. It is time to abolish this double labor standard as between the toilers of the land and the sea. DUMB. BUT NEVER DULL MARGOT ASQUITH, like our own matron of politics, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, has been writing a book. The title is “More or Less About Myself” (Dutton), or, more accurately, All About Myself. For though she has much to say about the great and not-so-great of the war and prewar England, they become in her mind only foils for Margot. As those who read her earlier essay into autobiography will recall, Mrs. Asquith has been blessed with two glorious certainties in life. One is that she is brilliant, and the other that she is naughty. It happens that site is, underneath, rather dumb and decorous. But her illusion of superiority has liberated her to be herself. That is why she is a very interesting person. In the -worlds of society, politics and literature in which she moved one was not disqualified by dumbness. The arch sin was dullness And of that she has never been guilty. So when Margot lifts her veil, you will adm.re the hawklike dart by which she pins her enemy, Lloyd George; you will be moved by her manner in stacking the cards in favor of her husband premier, you will be amused by her flirtation with the prince who became Edward Vll—even though it all seems more than a little faded, wisecracks of those who helped make the great war which destroyed them. THE STATES MUST HELP PLANS of the first nation-wide conference on labor legislation to seek regional treaties and iron out discrepancies between the forty-eight state systems of labor laws are important and timely. Whether the recovery act is made permanent or not, the states should advance the social gains of the codes. And to halt the unfair interstate competition these state laws should be made as near uniform as possible. Our present system of state labor laws presents the picture of a crazy-quilt of standards, reaching up from those of the industrial jungle to the better codes of Wisconsin, New York. Ohio and other enlightened commonwealths. Only twenty states have ratified the child labor amendment: only sixteen have minimum wage laws: only twenty-seven states and two territories have old-age pension systems; only eleven have the legal eight-hour day, and four states permit a sixty-hour week. While forty-four states have workmen’s compensation laws, only eighteen provide for state insurance funds. Alabama and New Mexico have no safety regulations for workers. Only Wisconsin has an unemployment insurance law. Only nineteen states have accepted federal aid and joined the United States employment service. Only fourteen states regulate industrial home work, sixteen prohibit or limit night work for women. Only five states have proper laws permitting cities to work with the federal government for slum abatement. In 1935 the legislatures of forty-four states meet. Before that time regional conferences can be called to reach agreements on minimum standards. The national minimum provisions just adopted by the Washington conference should be used as an irreducible living standard below which no state dares push its workers. The federal government is assuming leadership in labor reform. Its projects in employment exchanges, ■unemployment insurance, child labor abatement and slum elimination require more active and unified co-operation from the states. CITIZENS FIRST ONE of the unlooked for by-products of the CWA program seems to be anew eagerness for American citizenship on the part of residents who were born abroad. Records in a typical American industrial city recently show that the demand for naturalization papers is many times greater now than it is normally. During the first two weeks in February, for instance, there were more than 300 applications for first papers: the ordinary monthly average has been around fifty. The reason for this, of course, is that men holding jobs under the CWA have been threatened with loss of their work if they remain aliens. Hence the sudden rush to get under Uncle Sam’s wing. American citizenship has certain very solid advantages, and the war on the depression seems to be making them more obvious than ever beforo.

NOISE THAT IS UNHEARD of the things the ordinary citizen usually finds hard to understand is the habit some well-meaning folk have of holding demonstrations before the embassies or consulates of foreign powers. The other day, for example, a sizable throng of New Yorkers clustered in the street before the Austrian consulate in New York to protest against the Austrian government’s use of violence in its struggle with the Socialists. Now this may be among the worthiest of worthy causes —but what earthly good does a demonstration of this kind do? Could such a thing, conceivably, have any effect on the decisions of the harassed government at Vienna? Could it help the beleaguered Socialists behind their barricades in far-off Austria? Such demonstrations are common in all countries. But the fact that they happen often doesn’t make them any easier to understand. PROBE PATRIOTEERS npHE senate should move quickly on the Vanderberg and Nye resolutions. The former, by the senator from Michigan, would set up a defense commission to investigate ways of stopping profiteering on arms and munitions in peace as well as war. The latter, by the senator from North Dakota, provides for an investigation of the so-called munitions trust. With almost daily charges of profiteering on sales of aircraft and other material to the government, with congress being asked to spend immense sums to build up the navy to treaty strength, vith the armament lobbyists reported busy again in the Capitol, the senate and the country should have the facts. They can be developed by the passage of these two resolutions. And the sooner the better.

Liberal Viewpoint ■—“-•By DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES =====

Editor’s Note—This is the first of two articles by Harry Elmer Barnes, Fh. E , on the grave crisis which faces the NBA with respct to collective bargaining and union labor. tt tt tt WE now are entering the period when the new deal will be subjected to the real test of its adequacy. Neither its handling of immediate emergencies, when ardently supported by the public, nor superficial monetary tinkering, however wise in itself, will be able to demonstrate the success of the Roosevelt policies. The acid testbwill come over the ability of the new deal to insure a sufficient increase of mass purchasing power in the face of every kind of treachery from stupid and recalcitrant vested interests. This marked and stable increase of mass purchasing power, which is necessary to perpetuate capitalism, can be brought about either by state ' 'in or by voluntary agreement between capital and labor. The latter is the only method which can be tried under the new deal as it has been revealed to date, ft ought to be a truism by this time that an increase of mass purchasing power through voluntary arrangements will only be possible if labor is given the right to bargain freely with capital. Section 7A of the national industrial recovery act seems explicitly to give workers “the right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing . . . free from interference, restraint or coercion of employer.” As usual, however, the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. We can place no confidence in any rhetorical gestures made while the devil of corporate greed was deathly sick back in the spring of 1933. tt tt tt EVEN the administration itself slipped badly ' when it allowed the merit clause to be inserted in the automobile code. The actual execution of Section 7A today is calculated to give rise to the greatest concern on the part of liberals and to produce ecstasy in the camps of both Fascists and Communists. The national labor board seems to be in a state of relative collapse; piratical industrialists, who have learned nothing since 1929, are in control of the execution of the code; and there is a definite defiance of the government with respect to Section 7A in representative industries throughout the country. This desperate situation has been described admirably by Paul Anderson and William Mangold inn the Nation and New Republic. Mr. Anderson points out that even the United States supreme court thus far has made a better record for itself than the national labor board with respect to the fulfillment of the new deal. “While the highest legal tribunal, by a majority of one, was demonstrating its right of survival, the highest industrial tribunal was adding to the evidence that it should either be drastically reorganized or completely abolished. “Nothing in the progress of the recovery program has been more disappointing and demoralizing than the collapse of the national labor board. Set up as the supreme arbiter of disputes between labor and capital, it has degenerated into an object of employers’ contempt and employes’ despair. Buried under a growing mountain of complrints, it blusters and does virtually nothing. tt a tt IT was futile against Ford at Edgewater, and pathetic against National Steel at Weirton. It meets, only to adjourn for the ridiculous reason that the industrial members don’t show up. Even Louis Kirstpin, the most devoted of them, is missing. Its chairman. Senator Wagner, is away on Capitol Hill, leading the fight against ratification of the President’s St. Lawrence waterway treaty. Its most diligent officer, Dr. William Leiserson, has resigned as secretary and gone over to the petroleum labor board, apparently in search of action. As thousands of automobile workers are reported discharged for joining the union. General Johnson removes the limitation on working hours in that industry.” If these facts do not arouse realistic friends of the new deal to the seriousness of the situation, then there is little hope indeed of saving the present economic order. If the plutocrats can blandly get away with overt defiance of the most crucial section in the whole recovery act at the very outset of its application. what can we expect many months hence, when the first rebels have gained in prestige and power and their rebellion and treason have been imitated by those who today are more timid or hypocritical? Unless the administration acts decisively now, it will find it much more difficult to unseat the plutocrats from their citadels of victory at a later date. A movie actress got a divorce because her husband said she was awkward. She must have taken it often enough from her director. Americans are leaving Paris because of the drop in the exchange value of the dollar. Others have left Viffina for different reasons. The king of Sweden won’t play tennis with women who wear shorts. He wants to keep his mind on the game. John D. Rockefeller Sr, at the age of 94, takes his annual trip to Florida in spite of a recent attack of grip. If he isn’t careful he won’t live to be more than a hundred or two.

Limit them to 800 words or less.) tt tt tt HE’S FOR SPEEDY AND SURE JUSTICE By Ray Jarrett. This is in reply to B. A. Osborne's article against lynching that appeared in the paper on Feb. 9 issue, Mr. Osborne stated: “Another law dealing with anti-lynching is before congress.” That, in my estimation, is just the reason we have lynchings in our country today—too many laws. Do you.know that for every law we have we send a criminal to a house of correction or the electric chair? There are two laws that the criminal with the aid of a good “mouthpiece” can escape sentence. I will admit that being a part of a lynching isn’t anything to brag about, but the people of the United States are tired of seeing their money used to convict criminals only to see them freed again through numerous loopholes that our laws afford. Heres an example: I just finished reading an article in The Times tonight stating that out of thirty-one Marion county traffic deaths last year there was only one conviction. Think of it. An auto kills a pedestrian—the driver stands a 4 to 1 chance of never being apprehended. If he loses, statistics show that he stands a 33 to 1 chance of never serving a sentence. Why? Because the laws afford him too many ways of escaping punishment. Arch Steinel pointed out in his article that every auto fatality costs the taxpayers of Marion county S2O minimum. If an arrest is made in the case, another $lO is tacked on, and if there's conviction, it brings the total to SSO. Now, just how much of the taxpayers’ money does it take to convict a criminal on a first-degree murder charge, or a kidnaping charge? For instance, the lynching that took place in California some time ago. If those criminals were brought to justice, the chances are they would have gotten about a ten-year sentence, if any. In about seven seven years they would have been eligible for parole on good behavior. Free again! The people realized that and decided they wanted justice rendered right for once. Well, they certainly rendered it, and there will be more and more of this kind of justice meted out in the United States until the majority of legal hairs are pulled and a sure-fire “wig” installed. tt tt a 'TIMES WAR PICTURES PRAISED AS SERVICE By Dr. Walter E. Hemphill. From the bottom of my heart I wish to thank you, as many thousands of your readers will in their hearts, if not by pen, for the war pictures you display in your paper. If the picture of the dead, young boy (babe in the woods) does not tear the heart out of a person, nothing possibly can do it. But unfortunately these pictures -will not affect people, improperly named statesmen, who are behind all of these wars. No language properly can describe one’s feelings of contempt for these sinister influences that organize these wars. First, its intrigue followed by a country-wide deluge of war propaganda to get our poor, feeble minds confused as to what is the real issue. Any and all things are used to get us war-minded. Then comes the great speeches, air parades, bands playing, bond drives, hysteria, more parades and on and on until we are in the thing up to our necks and there is nothing to do but join up and try to make the best of the mess and all for no apparent reason than some half-witted duke, or great society leader had been killed (even that 'being a part of the intrigue). Most of ns came back, but no money or other consideration can replace the young lad shown dead 4n the picture {babe in the woods).

THE PIED PIPER RUNS FOR HIS LIFE

By a Utility User. I think the people of this city have been subjected to the injustice of political men enough without the city taking over the Indianapolis Water Company and making another enterprise for the politicians to fight over. There is gross inefficiency in all enterprises that are controlled by politics, since people are placed in the positions because their politics are favorable regardless of their actual qualifications for the positions. Another point is that the majority of people will agree that their water bills are the smallest utility bills they are forced to pay. If these federated clubs have nothing else to do, let them put their efforts into getting the larger utility bills reduced, for instances the telephone and light. Perhaps these clubs do not realize that the Indianapolis Water Company is not paying large salaries, but very moderate ones. Perhaps they also do not realize that the political jobs in this state, county and city are the biggest paying jobs in existence. If the

We are all hoping that the boys in the CCC will not be used as the boys in 1917 and 1918 were used. May God prevent it. Mr. Editor, you have performed a service that never will be equaled. This outstanding service should gain you the friendship of every Godloving person in the community. tt tt 11 RELIGION URGED AS . AID TO PEOPLE By Orville Pitcock. I am a Times reader, also a CWA worker. I haven’t lost a minute’s time since I began working. I am glad to have the job, have five in family, and lived three years off the trustee. I sure appreciate the courtesy and I think they did some wonderful work, if some people don’t think so. I read one letter in The Times the other night. The man says: “Real business is what the nation needs.” It might need it, but there comes something first. I know that God doesn't want the world to be like it is now, but He said, through His prophets, these kind of times would be, so we can expect them to be. It seems w-hen I read and hear people talk of what the world needs, they don’t even realize there is any God. and they are just trying to figure it all out themselves. If poor people would start laying up treasures in heaven, while the rich

A Woman’s Viewpoint

'TpETE case of Children vs. Dogs -*■ has been decided in a New York village. Surprisingly enough, the dogs lost. Four pets, whose owners appeared in court to plead their cause, "were sentenced to death for having set upon and chewed off the arm of a small girl. The verdict is interesting, if only because it shows what a tyrannous hold the dog has upon the twentieth century thought. “A great responsibility,” said the judge, “rests upon one who has to decide in place of a jury. I have great sympathy for dogs and their owners. I know the value of a good dog. But this is a serious case. Something must be done to guard against such things in the future.” A subtle apology, you see, an apology one seldom finds expressed by judges to relatives of human criminals. tt a tt THE case of Children vs. Dogs, in its wider aspects, goes on all the time in this country. The love of an individual for his dog IS a and one

Water Company and Politics

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

Indianapolis Water Company is taken over by a lot of politicians, these old employes of the company who are qualified fully for their positions by years of service with the company will be ousted and higher salaried men with the right politics will be employed. Do you think that would reduce the consumer water rates in this city? The higher the operating cost, the more you and I are going to pay for the water we use, else pay higher taxes. “Too, every time the political party in this city changed, a complete new set of employes would go into office—people who would have to be trained and wouldn’t be worth their salt for several months, still they would be drawing, in all likelihood, higher wages than now are being paid. Apparently the city has indebted itself to the Indianapolis Water Company to such an extent that it is unable to pay, and some pub-lic-spirited individuals offer as a solution that the city take over the water company and thereby presumably cancel the indebtedness.

! man is laying up treasures on earth, which would be the best? One of our former Presidents told us that prosperity was just around the corner. Has any one seen it yet? Now, the real business the nation needs is Jesus. When we got Him we can say we have found the corner. We forgot God and let the old devil lead, us into this shape, and he will keep us there until we let God into our soul, and He will supply us in every need, and give us an everlasting life. tt a a MAKE CWA GRAFTERS PAY, IS DEMAND By Oliver Townsley. Being a subscriber of your paper and apppreciating its impartial disposition. I would like to express through your Message Center a desire that I think not only is mine alone, but that of the majority of our honest and law-abiding people, both rich and poor. This is in accordance with your CWA graft comments. In the first place, the idea, as I understand it, is to give relief to poverty-stricken people rather than to create immediate circulation of money. Now, we all know that graft has had no little part in the cause of money panics, or perhaps the depression. What this country needs is to enforce discipline upon the people who represent us, as well as

which I am sure no one would criticise if it is carried only to reasonable lengths. But when that love confers upon an animal the material advantages so badly needed by many children, then I do believe it should be questioned. It should, indeed, be boldly challenged. Half-starved, ragged little boys who roam the city streets and get a part of their food from garbage cans are able, every day, to look into richly upholstered limousines where dogs recline in ease and elegance. They can peep into the windows of houses and see dogs that are sheltered, warmed, protected, fed, loved. They well may ask themselves, I think, into what kind of a world they have strayed; a world in which animals am housed like humans and humans are forced to live like animals. The child who freezes and starves and whose heart has ached for the love it has never had wili one day have the right to charge with high crime a government which permits so many of its citizens to pet and pamper dogs while thousands of its children go forgotten and neglected.

_TEB. 20,1931

sit around idle until election time, then go to the polls, vote and then “hope we might have a good man this time.” Now, to the point. Merely discharging a crooked CWA official or employe is nothing short of an invitation to graft and corruption. Their cases should be investigated fully, and if found guilty of crookedness in any form, they should be punished to the limit-, regardless of person or prestige, just as they would any other criminal, for those who are guilty are criminals, according to the code of honest universal society. We employed have suffered enough. As Lincoln said, “A government of the people, by the people and for the people.” tt tt tt FOOD, NOT ARGUMENT, IS NEED OF NATION By Walter R. Brewer. I notice in today’s Message Center, Emanuel Buckner challenges the public to prove that he is wrong in his assertion that “the recovery laws are unconstitutional.” He says, “no one has yet accepted his challenge.” Well, I expect people don’t care what he thinks so long as humanity knows the Nra is part of what the country needs. i s it a question of whether you have to prove to one person in a thousand whether a thing that is lifting our country out of the depths is constitutional or not’ You know, Mr. Buckner, I don’t suppose President Roosevelt has ever lost any sleep over the question of whether you thought the recovery laws were unconstitutional. In the first place, our Constitution was made for the needs of our country. If it was not constitutional to pass the recovery act, then change the Constitution to meet the needs. When people are going hungry and are cold, do you stop and ask if it’s constitutional to feed them? I'll agree there always has been too much of this pro and con business, while they starved to death. We thank heaven that we now have a President who doesn’t quibble over this stuff, but does what needs doing as he should do as our President. If he keeps coming out of the old rut as he has been doing, and keeps the peoples’ needs near to his heart, we really are going to have a country fit to live in. There are still some who say the majority are not fit to rule, but it seems that, any way, it is their right. So, let’s say, all together, “On with the national recovery act,” and not be too egotistical. We all know It sure does bum up the G. O. P.
