TUESDAY MAY 1. 1934. CHILDREN’S COURT EXPERTS agree that criminals are almost invariably the product of their early environment. Dangerous thugs like John Dillinger do not simply happen. They develop along standard rules of cause and effect. Dillinger's case is typical. He came of a poor, but self-respecting, family. Asa boy he got into a minor scrape and was turned loose. Later, but. still before he was of age. he was involved in an attempted robbery and sent to prison. Twice before reaching manhood he was before the courts, which could do nothing to deflect him from a criminal career although his character was still in a formative stage. People are beginning to realize the tremendous importance of the scientific handling of juvenile delinquents. It is in children’s court that the mischievous and underprivileged adolescent has his first experience with American government. It is there that he decides whether crime really pays. Indianapolis needs a real expert on the children's court bench. The community needs a man of broad social vision as well as thorough legal training. Charles R. Metzger, Republican, is such a man. His qualifications speak for themselves. He holds law degrees from both Brnjamin Harrison and Indiana law schools. For ten years he has been teaching sociology at Indiana university and his authoritative writing on delinquency, probation and family problems has won him the coveted listing in "Who's Who in America.” Mr. Metzger conducted the Indianapolis survey of delinquency for the Wickersham commission. He is an active member of the Bar Association, of the American Sociological Society, the American Association of Social Workers and a number of other learned societies. In addition, he has considerable practical knowledge of child problems because he is the father of two children. Not another candidate in either party remotely approaches such qualifications and proved ability. Politics has no place, in the children's court. Its judge should be just such a man as Mr. Metzger. The fact that he has not the backing of the boss-controlled Republican organization is to his credit. Indianapolis will do itself a real service by making sure that this man is nominated—and elected—judge of the childrens court. Let us prevent future Dillingers from growing up instead of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars later in humiliating pursuit of them.

A BARGAINING TARIFF "ITS7HEN two such prominent Republicans as * ’ Chairman O'Brien of the tariff commission and former Secretary of State Stimson urge passage of the Roosevelt reciprocal tariff bill, it is time for the country to realize that this is not a partisian issue. The notion seems to have spread that this is a measure to cut American tariffs drastically while foreign nations continue to protect themselves behind trade barriers. It is not. Its purpose is to provide the President with bargaining authority so that he can obtain more foreign markets for our farm and factory surpluses. Most foreign executives have that bargaining power already, and they have been trading among themselves while we have been left out in the cold. In fact, there have been more than a hundred such foreign reciprocal trade agreements. World trade measured by combined imports fell in the period 1929-1933 from $35.000.000.000 to $12,000,000,000. Our own exports fell in that time from an annual $5,241,000,000 to $1,673,000,000. Because we can not materially increase employment without increasing production and surpluses, we need to regain as much as possible of that $3,500,000,000 lost American market abroad. But at the same time it is desirable that this exchange be chiefly in noncompetitive products. Titus the process of foreign trade recovery requires not only bargaining but also planning. This delicate operation can not be carried out by log-rolling congressional methods. Experience has shown that conclusively. Hence the present flexible provision of the law allowing the President to change rates up to 50 per cent. But. as Chairman O'Brien and others have pointed out. it is not very flexible in fact. So the new measure is needed. Since no general international tariff reduction agreement is in sight, the only remedial action that can be taken now is along the line of 111-help-you-if-you'll-help-me, as between the United States and individual nations. THE REAL BACKGROUND COLUMBUS always will get the credit for being the discoverer of America; but for many years to come historians and archeologists will be busy trying to find out how many people actually got to the new world ahead of him. It has been pretty well substantiated that the Vikings made the trip repeatedly, long before Columbus' time. Now Dr. Roland B. Dixon, professor of anthropology at Harvard, declares that the Polynesian peoples of the South Seas also reached America in the preColumbian years. Professor Dixon bases his belief at least partly on sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes, originally, grew wild only in Central and South America. But the first European* to visit the South Sea islanders in the Polynesian group, he says, found the natives cultivating sweet potatoes; and the natural deduction is that the natives had

touched the Americas and taken seedlings back with them. These Polynesians neither had decked ships nor compasses, but they were doughty seagoing men. Voyages fully 2.000 miles in length, in those frail-looking outrigger canoes of theirs, were by no means uncommon. Professor Dixon believes it quite possible for them to have reached America by way of Hawaii. There are few more interesting by-paths of history than the one toward which this theory leads. When the Europeans reached America they found most.of the land peopled by stone age savages; but in a few spots a high degree of civilization had sprung up, and the ancient cities of Peru and Central America and Mexico still excite the wonder and admiration of archeologists and laymen alike. How did it happen that the new world nourished these islands of civilization in a sea of utter savagery? Where did they come from, those people who built cities and temples and roads, learned the art of sculpture without metal tools and knew more about astronomy than the Greek of Pericles’ time? Were they 100 per cent American in their development, or did they draw their knowledge, somehow, from across the Pacific? Maybe we shall never know; but the questions are fascinating, and this theory of Dr. Dixon casts anew bit of light on one of history’s most interesting riddles. POLITICS RESIGNS JN some ways the worst bit of news to come out of Washington this spring is the news that congress finally has refused to rule out politics in selection of employes of the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation. This action is nothing less than a body blow at democratic government. At a time when government activities are being more greatly extended than ever before, congress has refused to take the simple step that would have removed an important part of these activities from the grasp of the spoilsmen. It has made it possible for a great and necessary work to be prostituted to the claims of selfish, peanut politicians. This isn’t an unimportant matter. Each time something like this happens, a few more people are convinced that a democratic government can not function efficiently in the modern world. Congress can do the nation no greater disservice than to increase the number of people who feel that way. COSTS OF PEACE TT is doubtful if there is any other country -*• where the anti-war sentiment is quite as wide and as deep as it is in the United States. Yet the United States government has just announced that it will start construction of twenty new warships within four months, with seventy-five more to be built immediately thereafter; and there is little question that this action has the endorsement of the majority of the citizens. Why should there be this contradiction—if it is a contradiction? For one thing, the American people trust their government not to use the fleet as an instrument of aggression; for another, the international horizon is by no means clear, and if a navy is to be supported at all it m.ght as well be kept up to the mark. It is possible to desire peace very earnestly and still keep ready for any emergency; and that, apparently, is what present-day Americans plan to do.

DANGER OF ECONOMIZING 'J'HERE is just one thing about the new air mail bids recently submitted in Washington that is a little bit disturbing. That is the thought that some lines, winning new orntracts with extremely low bids, mav have to cut the corners so closely in financing their flights that the safety margin will be reduced. Carrying passengers through the air in safety depends on a number of things. Planes and other equipment must be of the first quality. The pilots themselves must be capable and experienced. The network of ground service—radio communications, mechanical servicing, weather reports, technical supervision, and so on—must not be skimped. It is greatly to be hoped that no company will find itself with such a lew figure on its contract that it will feel obliged to cut on any of these essential safeguards. Economy of that kind would, in the end, be frightfully expensive. LAST OF OLD CAVALRY IT gives one a sort of old and grown-up feeling to read that the United States war department has ordered the cavalry to put away its sabres. The war department points out that armored cars, tanks, and so on. are replacing the horse throughout the mounted service, and that a cavalryman sitting in an auto has little use for a sabre; nevertheless, the thought that these jingling riders with their polished blades are now officially out of date comes as a bit of a surprise. Cavalrymen without sabres —or. for that matter, without even horses! Shades of Attila and Bedford Forrest, of Custer and Nev and all the other captains who led galloping troopers into battle beneath a swinging arc of gleaming steel! We must be getting old. if we have lived into a day when armies have no use for such things. EQUALITY IN BRAINS POOR children are just as intelligent as rich children, according to Dr. Ethel Kawin, psychologist of the Institue for Juvenile Research in Chicago. Dr. Kawin gave the well-known StanfordBinet and Merrill-Palmer intelligence tests to sixty-two children in a nursery school in Chicago's famous Hull House. Then she gave the same tests to youngsters in a Winnetka public school nurseryyoungsters from a considerably higher social and economic level. And she found no difference in the average intelligence of the two groups. The next time you hear someone lament that poor people have a higher birth rate than rich people, you might remember this fact. The child of poor parents gets just as good an allotment of brains as the child of the rich, if this test is any criterion.

Liberal Viewpoint =■B7 DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES =

STUART CHASE has written a book which should be put into the lap of every man in Washington in any way connected with the effort to build anew order in America (“The Economy of Abundance." By Stuart Chase. Macmillan. $2.50). It is the most satisfactory work I know of which is devoted to the theme that we have passed from a scarcity to a plentyeconomy and must make corresponding readjustments in our social structure and ideals. The old order was one devoted primarily to vending goods. The new one must be concentrated upon serving man with the minimum of pain As Mr. Chase dryly remarks, “it is not money which makes the mare go; it is oats.” He emphasizes the fact that the Roosevelt program can never-show any real consistency until it recognizes this fact. “The Roosevelt administration can not make up its mind whether it wants to restore vendibility—popularly known as recovery—or inaugurate anew economic system based on serviceability. Obviously, until this choice is made, the conflict will be reflected in zig-zag administrative performance.” nun PROFESOR PAUL B. DOUGLAS, once engaged by the new deal as a member of the consumers’ council, has been working for many years to fomulate an inductive theory of wages and distribution. The results of his efforts are now embodied in a monumental work which constitutes one of the outstanding contributions of an American writer to economic science (“The Theory of Wages.” By Paul H. Douglas. Macmillan. $5). Now that the regulation of the New York Stock Exchange is being practically considered and warmly debated, the study of stock market control made for the Twentieth Century Fund is extremefv timely (“Stock Market Control.” Edited by Evans Clark et al. Appleton Century. $2). The books on money and inflation still continue to be ground out. Professor Edie has written a clear and sensible book from a mildly conservative point of view ("Dollars.” By Lionel D. Edie. Yale University Press. $2.50). While opposed to thorough-going inflation and the commodity dollar, he takes some lusty swings at the scare-hounds and bogy-mongers and admits the necessity for a constructive expansion of money, nun A GOOD part of the administration monetary policy can be harmonized with his conceptions. though he is very critical of the specific doctrines of Professor Warren. Dr. Clark is a well-known expert on economic history. His present book is primarily historical and expositiory, and gains in value from this very reason (“What Is Money?”) By Victor S. Clark. Houghton Mifflin. ($1). He is a convinced anti-inflationist, but he does not allow his prejudices in this matter seriously to affect his historical discussion of the origin and character of monetary media. Professor Mason has written a very lucid and informing history of Judge Brandeis’ legal and juristic evolution ("Brandeis: Lawyer and Judge m the Modern State.” By Alpheus Thomas Mason. Princeton University Press. $2). I know of no - other book in which one can so conveniently arrive at an understanding of Mr. Justice Brandeis’ social philosophy and his greatness as a judge.

Capital Capers =f-~- BY GEORGE ABELL —.

MME. CHARALAMBOS SIMOPOULOS, wife of the minister of Greece, entertained at a cocktail party the other day at the 1925 F Street Club in Washington. The party was in honor of the retiring ambassador of Spain, Senor de Cardenas, and his wife; the retiring ambassador of Brazil and Mme. de Lima e Silva, and the retiring counselor of the Rumanian legation and Mme. Nano. Caviar and mushroom sandwiches were much relished. "Mv dear, everybody is here.’’ gushed a dowager, as she pushed her way into the crowded salon. v u tt u A DELICIOUS Greek mixture, combined of absinthe, anisette and crushed ice, delayed some of the guests w'ho had intended to leave earlier. The guests w-ere tempted, lingered, tasted the Greek drink with their persuasive host, Minister Simopoulos, and remained indefinitely at the party. Seyfullah Bey, new charge d'affaires of Turkey. wandered in at a late hour. "I feel lonesome,” he signed, “without my ambassador.” After tasting the Greek drink. Seyfullah had about determined to surrender Mr. Samuel Insull to the authorities at Athens. nun Ambassador cakdenas of Spain swallowed Martini cocktails, exclaimed: “I'll hate to leave the United States.” Mme. de Lima e Silva, the very lovely wife of the Brazilian ambassador, w r as surrounded by friends. Baron Paul Shell, the ex-caviar salesman, ate caviar sandwiches with enormous gusto. Alice Davis, daughter of the former secretary of w'ar, w'as sw-athed in silver fox furs. Pen Turner. Washington man-about-town, announced to friends: “I am just back from Palm Beach.” Robert Jackson. Democratic chieftain, was in gray flannels and polka-dot tie. He ate an inordinate number of sandwiches and little mufnns. I m hungry, he explained to one who regarded him with amazement. (And he proved the statement.) n n a MBASSADOR ESPIL of Argentina is very careful not to stay too long at anv party. One must be smart—even at the cost of an Argentine beef sandwich. Ambassador Andre de Laboulaye of France and Jules Henry, French counselor, wore their pearl scarf pins and looked very "boulvardier.” Ambassador Hans Luther of Germany talked French and was mistaken for a Frenchman by a number of guests—a distinction that the Herr Doktor is not unmindful of. The Italian embassy bachelors—tw T o of them, at any event—Signore Tommasi and Ferrero—gray flanneled and debonair, tried to live up to heir reputation as the town’s most scintillating bon vivants. Minister Peter of Switzerland and Mme. Peter brought their son Marc a resident of Boston, who speaks better English than many Americans. A Chicago university scientist has devised a sure test for intoxication in the saliva. With the decline of the spittoon, however, judges will still watch the noses. Pat Roche, Chicago detective, says if he got SIO,OOO and three men he would bring back Dillinger alive. Why three men? Wouldn't Frank Buck alone do? The long Garbo bob is no longer in style, say hairdressers. Now let us hear from the foot specialists. The Bronx cheer has been ordered out o f all movies hereafter. It sounds bad enough w-hen the audience gets it. A Miami university student ate fifteen hamburger sandwiches in half an hour, and still some of us can see nothing in a college education. Seven hundred ways have been found in which people kill time in America. Listing these 700 makes the 701st way of killing time.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

(Times readers are invited to express their views in these columns. Male your letters short, so all can have a chance. Limit them to 2.10 words or less.) ADVOCATES LAW TO PROTECT DOGS By Tim , s Krador. Under English law', if you once mistreat a dog you never are allowed to own another. The law ? in Indiana should be the same So many poor dogs are half fed and lack water most of the time, and no dog should be allowed to run the streets to get crippled and suffer and die. If we call on the police it does no good. We need England's | law for dogs. tt tt tt WINDOW SMASHING AND DILLINGER’S GANG By a Reader. We read about Dillinger every day, and I w-ant to express my opinion regarding some of the citizens in our midst who are not as honorable as he. Under cover of darkness they knock out the windows of a taxpayer's home. The taxpayer is neither a striker nor a bootlegger, but a respected citizen W'ho does not get police protection, although the police have evidence that points to the culprit. I think the Dillinger gang is a credit to the window breakers. nun ACCUSES POLICEMAN OF BEING DRUNK By a Baseball Fan. I was standing in front of Perry stadium after the opening game, when a well-known doctor's wife approached and asked for a sober policeman. There were drunks trying to find their car and they picked this doctor's wife's car. She W'ent to an officer to report the two drunks and the officer said. “Don’t bother me. Call up Mike Morrissey and tell him.” This officer so drunk he had to support himself against a parked car to hold himself up. They say everybody is supposed to obey the officers of the law. I hope she did and gave his badge number, too. a a st SEES FAVORITISM IN HOME LOAN WORK By Seeder. Since Uncle Sam is going to guarantee the Home Owmers Loan Corporation bonds, the pie counter favorites who get to "sell” the material and the contractors who “bid” on the repairs of this property ought to be forced to compete in the open, by having the corporation post the location, type of work and specifications for public bidding. This is really Uncle Sam's “baby” and no group of insiders or panhandlers ought to kidnap the spoils. Padding the costs is unjust for the “saved property owner” and for the bond holders. “Sack holding” loans on property where loans were too high, or where no real down payment was made, soon may burden the corporation with “dead horses.” Os course, the trick is easy with the shrewd real estate operators, but what a stink later. No buzzards, please. n e n STRIKER REPLIES TO E- B. S. Bv a Striker. What kind of a position do you look forward to getting for your letter. E. B. S-? The majority of knitters must’use our brains to make what the E. M. B. A. calls good wages. We are worth much more. The way you j talk you couldn't even top stockings; on a machine. I will wager you have never received a loan by stating the actual use of the money. Remember the insurance policy is group and it is only 35 cents; the balance of the 60 cents goes to keep the dummy' arbitrating against us.

A RED LETTER DAY

Offers Musical Sc

By Tom Berlins. To the anonymous men who have organized the Associated Business Builders of Indianapollis for the protection and welfare of all the citizens of our no mean city in general and themselves in particular, greetings and salutations. I believe you are interested in the strike at the Real Silk mills. I have noticed the strikers walking around. Mr. Goodman and the board of directors are to be congratulated for having at one time had in their employ such a fine, courageous group of young men and women. As an experiment and anew and novel method of settling a strike I wish to offer my services. Gentlemen, music hath charms to soothe. I propose to hold a gigantic meeting of all concerned. First, the strikers accompanied by a band donated by the Musicians union will sing “Whose Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?” Then Mr. Goodman and the board of directors’ quartet will sing “Give Me Time to Blow the Man Down.” Next, the members of the com-

As for this town being rotten, persons like you make it so. You mention the load of bricks. There are always a few radicals in every large group of persons who demand their rights. In closing, I am disapproving of what you say and I hope you lead this in the only Indianapolis daily paper not dictated to by the Chamber of Commerce and political influences. n st u DESCRIBES STRIKE AS AMERICAN CAUSE By a Knitter on Strike. The only trouble with Hoagland is that he or she thinks they have the world with a fence around it, and nobody can tell them anything different. Some knitters might : make $35 a week, but very few. In the last six months some have been lucky to make the minimum. The fellow who said it was worth SIOO a week is right, and I know we're out on strike to get the wages we have coming to us, and we’re out to win. Hoagland doesn't know why we are out. or he or she would be with us. We are fighting for an American cause, which the President has given us the right, in Section 7A. We are out to get a living wage, working conditions and a union which will uphold us and help us to keep our living wage after we get it. The only way of getting a fair wage is by organization and not oy an E. M. B. A. You employes on the inside think hard and learn about our union. I think you will be with us. ass a WORKER STILL ON JOB REPLIES TO STRIKERS By A. G. Hoajland. It seems to me that if the E. M. B. A. was unfair I wouldn’t wait eight years to quit. I have been running a footer machine for five years and I figure $1 an hour is darn good living wages. You ask me to get a little more education. I figure I have more common sense than you, by staying with my job. If a knitting job is worth SIOO a week, why don't the union ask | for it? Mr. Striker, you ask me if I was ! thinking only of myself. I would rather be a "scab” and keep my wife ! and children from going hungry ; than like your wife and children ! will be doing when you have no more pay checks coming in. Don’t forget that the city will not keep you as long as you are a striker. It is true the transfer boys only get $S a week to start with, but why

1 wholly disapprove of what you say and will _ defend io the death your right to say it — Voltaire.

ore to End Strike

pany union will softly chant “Keep on Doing What You're Doing to Me.” The singing will close with a rendition of that old popular ballad, “Home. Sweet. Home,” by the members of a group of thugs, mugs and strike breakers. Immediately after I suggest that the gas pipe manipulators be paid off in full and allowed to depart. Mr. Goodman and the union organizer, Mr. Smith, then will retire and settle the strike on an open-minded, square policy, with all interests working for the common good, as you asked in your advertisement. By the way, gentlemen, in all sincerity I can assure you that the union men of Indianapolis will judge you according to the fairness with which you settle this strike. If you can see your way clear to recognize thus group of men and women they will not only ■work for you, but fight for your interests and boost your products. We also are interested in Indianapolis. Let’s get togther—our way.

didn’t you finish it? They get that while they are learning and then they are raised to sl3 on rating, and they can make as high as S2O. tt tt a OPPOSES SUGGESTED BLIND AID PLAN By Morris B. Field. A note of discord among the blind | again has been sounded by the same small group of sightless persons who opposed the blind pension bill during the 1933 legislature. This time the dissenters are proposing a compromise bill apparently designed to obtain the backing of certain public officials who previously have opposed an equitable relief measure for needy blind. We are given to understand that the new plan calls for complete authority of administration of the relief funds to be vested in the ex- ! ecutive secretary of the board of ; industrial aid for the blind, and i that the relief will not exceed $25 : a month. A majority of the blind are most emphatically opposed to ; granting any such power to the seci retary. They also contend that an j absolute limit of less than S4O a ! month is wholly inadequate to meet I all needs which may arise among the destitute blind. a a a HE DIDN’T GET AN OTTO RAY BASKET By a Poor Man. I have attended a few campaign meetings in the last month, and would like to ask the readers of this paper if they know whether Otto Ray is a police officer or a township trustee. His pinch hitters claim that he put baskets out to the poor. Did he take them out of his own pocket or were they donated by others? I failed to see any of them. a a a COMPANY UNION FOE WRITES. Bv a Real Silk Worker. To the supporter of the Real Silk company union, I would say that he or she must be an assistant forewoman supervisor, departmental director or company pet, or perhaps an office worker and not eligible for the union. Os course, there are a lot of persons who judge the world ! by their own little world, which may happen to be a very sheltered one. a a a MR. GOODMAN AND E. M. B. A. LAUDED By Rral Silk Seamer. I quite agree with the seamer who said we do not need a union. We have our own E. M. B. A. and as far as I know the E. M. B. A.

MAY 1, 1934

is all right, and so is J. A. Goodman. Many thanks to the knitters who stayed, and I am for them 100 per cent; also thanks to those who had the courage to come back. I'm sure J. A. will do what is right by all of you if you'll do what is right by him. As to a seamer having $3 to $5 worth of bad work a week, I'd say it's mostly the result of carelessness, and if any knitter isn't satisfied to earn $35 or more a week. I wish he would let me know, because I know' of someone who would certainly appreciate a good job in times like these. Real Silk has done much better during the depression than other hosiery mills, and I believe in time will do still better. What burns me up is this: There are some folks still working who are in favor of the union. They're afraid to parade with strikers. Yes, are in favor of the union. They're not true to the union or the E. M. B. A. I think Mr. Archer and The Times had better investigate the facts before they criticise Real Silk or the E. M. B. A. I have ben at Real Silk almost nine years, and I know.

ADVOCATES GIVING JOHN A CHANCE By Mrs. I.ida Fischer. | I, like ninety-nine out of one j hundred, cm for Dillinger and hope ! sincerely cur Governor will give the ! signed petitions a lot of thought. I believe he vould make a good citizen j if given a chance. I will guarantee I if a petition is started in Indiani a polis, ninety-nine out of every I hundreds will sign, to give John a j new start in life. Everything committed was blamed : falsely on him. That is why other i crooks got busy, for John was i getting all the blame. If a petition is needed here to help him I will be glad to help get it signed. I know John personally and his heart is as big as any one's. He is not a bad man, even though he did slip out of Crown Point. tt o a OFFICER’S WIDOW DEFENDS POLICE Bv A Time* Reader. I am the widow of a policeman; therefore, I resent the attitude of the public toward officers. Like any ether organization, there are the good and the bad. but I do not believe that the worst of them are so bad that they should have an escaped criminal for a leader as wa3 suggested in g letter in your paper. Should John Dillinger be pardoned as the bank clerk of Mooresville desires, it forever would be a black spot on the United States in general and on Indiana in particular. If the clerk from John's home town would get a job in his own town, come taxpayer in this city would be put to work in his pU.ce. Fatalist BY VIRGINIA KIDWELL Life is a gamble and love is a game. And fate is the judge and the high prize is fame. You exult when you win and you pay when you lose, And you never regret, for you do as you choose. No price is too high and no trick is too low For the risk and the thrill compensate for the woe; You swagger through life with an utter disdain, Oblivious to censure—indifferent to pain. You stride over all as you seek for your mate. And you bow to these three and no more—Life, Love, Fate.
