____ WEDNESDAY MAY 2. 1934. BROKEN PLEDGES JUST thirty-fix years after that May day ** on which Dewey's fleet at Manila liberated the Filipinos from Spanish rule, the Philippine legislature has accepted the new independence law. Within a year they are expected to set up r commonwealth government. leading in 1945 to complete independence if they desire. Two shadows fall across yesterday’s ratification and the future of the islands. The Filipinos are to blame for neither. One is the tense situation in the far east. Relations in the Pacific are such that the future can not be forecast. That, doubtless, explains in part the failure of the Tydings independence law to provide for American naval withdrawal from the Philippines as it did provide for future American military evacuation. However much the Washington government and Americans generally may wish to relinquish responsibilities in the far Pacific, it is highly improbable that the Filipinos will agree to give up our naval protection until their independence and neutrality are guaranteed by an international treaty which they can trust. Such a treaty, unfortunately, is not now in sight. Even the nine-power treaty for the international protection of China is today In jeopardy. For the second shadow we are to blame. The Tydings law carries unequal trade provisions which, if enforced, wil cause great economic damage to the islands. These provisions were extracted by a selfish congressional lobby as the price of independence. But these shameful provisions were accepted temporarily by the more honorable group in congress and by the Filipino representatives themselves only on the specific pledge by President Roosevelt that the objectionable features would be eliminated later by fair negotiations. Even before these promised fair negotiations, we have broken faith with the Philippines by writing a trade barrier against them into our tax bill. That is the tax-tariff on cocoanut oil. which not only will tend to pauperize 4.000,000 Filipinos but also in turn help to destroy one of our own best foreign markets. .Since the administration has lost its able fight on the floors of congress to keep this provision out of the tax bill, we believe the President should use his only remaining weapon—vfcto the bill unless the offending provision is eliminated by joint resolution. TRAFFIC AIDS T? RECTION of additional stop and go lights on downtown street intersections, which carry the heavy load of the city’s automotive business, should be an immediate aid to the traffic situation. Especially needed were the signs which have been placed at Indiana and Capitol avenues. Despite the efforts of a traffic officer at intersections similar to this, there were bound to be several traffic jams daily. The signs which are in operation during the early morning rush hours, already have prevented several of the usual tieups caused by motorists who tried to beat the other fellow across the street. The red and green electric lights are not affected by weather changes. They have no friends ana everybody is equal. Indianapolis needs more improvement of its traffic system and this appears to be a step in the right direction. MAY DAY, THERE AND HERE T> lOTS and bloodshed marked May day in foreign capitals, as usual, while Washington quietly went about its affairs of representative government unmolested by irate citizens. From this contrast we might draw a satisfied and holier-than-thou consolation. That would be dangerous. Americans by nature are no more long suffering than others. Indeed ours is a’more violent land than most. And. contrary to the easy optimism which rules in some quarters here, economic conditions in the United States are worse than in many other countries. We have a higher ratio of unemployment. Why is it then that unemployed and underpaid Americans, who are quick to violence in other matters, are yet more peaceful than other peoples under the provocation of poverty? Surely It is only because Americans have not lost faith in their government. However discouraged and impatient they may be in their suffering, most of them still believe that the government sincerely is striving for a newdeal for the common man. That faith is the most precious possession of the American government today. EXPERIMENT ON DEATH 'T'HERE is something pretty creepy about this California experiment with a dog who was put to death and then restored to life. The dog’s physical condition seems to improve daily, but his intelligence is still sluggish. Death did something to his brain cells, and it remains to be seen whether the revived body can rebuild them. And all this, in an eerie and rather ghostly way. brings us right up against the oldest and greatest problem of the race. What happens when a living organism dies? Is the change strictly something that can be weighed in the laboratory scales and tested beneath the microscope? Or is there some unknown factor there—some insoluble mystery that forever eludes analysis? It Is a long time since any scientist has attempted so interesting an experiment.

BACK TO FUNDAMENTALS SCHOOL children in Soviet Russia, says a current dispatch from Moscow, are going back to the old-time ABC% and study them much as school children do elsewhere. For a long time the youngsters in the primary grades in Russia have been getting good doses of “dialetic materialism’’ and "economic determinism,” and so on—stuff that would be over the head of the average high school pupil in America. No* the Soviet authorities have at last discovered that it doesn't work. The kids simply can’t take it in. And one wonders if the resultant shift back to simpler and more prosaic methods of pedagogy isn't more or less symbolic. Running a nation on purely theoretical lines is a fine idea, maybe, but compromises with reality arc inevitable. A school child is a school child the world over. His introduction to the three R's is apt to be pretty much the same under Marx as under the benighted capitalists. TOP-HEAVY RAILROADS r T''HE wage controversy out of the way, the railroad industry, with federal help, now can turn to its other important problems that must be met if it is to survive in its present form. Perhaps the chief problem is the towering financial structure of the carriers that has been kept from toppling during the depression only through help of reconstruction finance corporation funds. Owning a large stake in the railroads by having advanced to them hundreds of millions of dollars to pay the fixed charges on bonded indebtedness, the federal government itself perhaps would be among the losers if the mortgages or, the railroads and interest charges are reduced. Life insurance companies and savings banks, to say nothing of charitable and other such institutions, that hold large blocks of railroad bonds might suffer temporarily, too. But obviously it is better to lose a little now through scaling down the railroads’ bonded debts and interest charges than to lose very much more later on. Such scaling down now will help the private owners of railroads to retain ownership. President Roosevelt sees this scaling down of debts and charges as one of but two alternatives, the other being government ownership. There may, as a matter of fact, be other ways out. The cabinet committee appointed to study the whole subect may be able to find them, particularly if it works in conjunction with Joseph Eastman, federal co-ordinator of transportation, whom the President has just continued in his job for another year. Briefly, the President hopes to help the railroads help themselves. And this of itself calls for railroad co-operation. MIXED SPEED JUSTICE! A RECENT dispatch from Washington, announces that "a vigorous campaign to simplify and speed action by the country’s courts’’ is being begun by leaders of the bar; and it is hard to think of any reform that would be much more welcome. Slowness and inefficiency of legal processes is the chief complaint. It also is charged that lawyers delay cases instead of pressing for a quick decision, and that appeals are made unnecessarily expensive by the requirement that the entire record be printed. The New York bar not long ago named a commission to study the state's judicial system. One member of the commission, Harry D. Nims, wrote an article for the state bar association's journal and said several things that laymen have long been saying privately. "On the calendars of the New York supreme court today there are about 50,000 cases awaiting trial,” he wrote. "Something like 150.000 litigants are interested in these cases. They are represented by lawyers. "These cases represent work to be done. Are we so prosperous that we desire no increase in business? Apparently, for the pro-, session is exerting little pressure upon the judges and the legislature to adopt measures which can be used to make it possible to bring these cases to trial and dispose of them. "The attitude of the profession is somewhat like that of the old storekeeper who refused to sell sugar because too many people came in to buy it. "Litigation is necessary and may be made beneficial under proper conditions. The decrease of it does not necessarily mean that there is more justice between man and man. It may mean compromise, fear, inflation of the nuisance value of unfounded and illegal claims.” All this is a mild and fair statement of the case. The delays and expense incident to legal processes have become, in many cases, quite unendurable. In some states ways have been found whereby minor law suits can be disposed of without recourse to lawyers at all. Unless this tendency is to grow to a point where lawyers as a class find a lot of business taken away from them, action to make litigation cheaper and faster is essential. Northwestern university professor calls congressional investigators "scopotropist-s.” That's the advantage professors have over those who know only how to swear. The Soviet ambassador and his wife were guests at a D. A. R. meeting in Washington, perhaps trying to get a line on how to start a D. R. R., or Daughters of the Russian Revolution. Let us hope all the big guns are called to Washington, when the senate begins investigating the munitions trust. That 231-mile gale recorded on Mt. Washington, N. H., was almost strong enough to blow down a congressional investigator’s dignity. Two bulls got loose in as many days in New York recently, but that's nothing. There's a bull loose in Washington almost every day congress is in session. A sports critic says Primo Camera is not so easy to hit as he used to be. He must nave gone on a diet. The Crusaders, having ended their campaign for repeal, have begun one against ’theorists” in government. Definition for "theorist’’—any one with whom you don't agr<*.

Liberal Viewpoint '• By DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES NEW YORK state has a possibility of anew deal in criminology as well as in industry. The Quinn-Robinson parole bill, which has been passed by the state legislature and now lies before the Governor for his signature, is capable of bringing about most remarkable progress in the field of criminology. It would not only serve the cause of humanity, but would also effect a great economy. The bill challenges much of our archaic traditions and conventions in dealing with criminals. It even assumes to question the omniscience of judges and to raise some doubts as to whether every judge is capable of determining at the moment of sentence exactly when any convict would be fitted for release. Asa consequence, all the forces of savagery and reaction are united against the bill in the same way as the foes of economic progress are combining bitterly to fight the Stock Exchange regulation proposed in the Fletcher-Raybum bill. In both cases the old deal is lined up firmly against the new deal. I believe it is extremely important that the Governor should sign this bill. In the first place, it is thoroughly in line with the progressive ideas held by the state corrections commissioners. The parole principle is a corner stone of progressive penology. In the second, place, this bill would go a long way toward undermining and offsetting the savagery of the Baumes laws, the failure of which to effect the desired results is already all too apparent. What ara the arguments advanced against the Quinn-Robinson bill? First, the old bogey of a jail delivery is raised once more. It is alleged that if this law goes into force we shall have turned loose upon us a whole army of dangerous crooks. It is assumed that the parole commission will exert no discrimination or restraint in their handling of applications for parole. This argument is particularly popular with hard-boiled police officials throughout the state. o o o THERE is little foundation for any such alarm. The New York state parole commission studies far more carefully the case of every convict involved than does the sentencing judge before he imposes the sentence. Nothing would more quickly or certainly discredit the parole commission than indiscriminate granting of paroles. In mere self-defense, it would be compelled to use decent restraint. We can. however, have more assurance than this. There are plenty of other states in which the parole commissions have as much discretionary power as is envisaged in the Quinn-Rob-mson bill. We have no records of jail deliveries in such states. Almost invariably, the work of such parole commissions is one of the few bright spots in the criminological work of the state. Second, it is held that the judge knows better than any parole commission how long a man needs to be incarcerated. This argument can not stand up under the most elementary logical analysis. Only those who are able to follow the behavior of the man after sentence has been imposed can possibly know whether he has given such evidence of reformation as would justify conditional release. Imagine a judge assuming to sentence an insane person to a state hospital for five years and six months, giving the doctors of the institution no discretion as to when the patient should be released. * tt tt THIRD, it is alleged that the parole commission would be opened up to the serious danger of powerful political influence being exerted to insure the release of dangerous criminals. This may be doubted, but even if true the same argument applies with far greater force to the sentencing power of judges. Our judges are much more closely linked with the political system of the state than the parole commission could possibly be. If we do not worry about political influence in connection with the sentencing power of judges, we need not be greatly concerned about its operation with respect to the exercise of parole authority. Let us not, however attack the great progressive principle of parole which has been advocated by intelligent criminologists for more than a century and has amply justified itself by the experience of the country in the last generation. It may be a long time before New' York will be offered another opportunity of comparable scope in the w'ay of bringing its treatment of criminals into accord w'ith science and civilization.

Capital Capers

OHIO notables gathered at a tea given in Washington the other day by jolly Representative Charley West in compliment to Senator Bob Bulkley and his bride, the Toronto millionairess, who used to be Mrs. Helen Graham Robbins. The entire Ohio delegation—appropriately dressed in morning coats and juggling tea cups, —surrounded the attractive Mrs. Bulkley. Representative Bill Fiesinger, the Sandusky leader of the big silver bloc in congress, solemnly stirred his cup of tea w’ith a silver spoon. His handsome brunet daughter Lois accompanied him. "Ah. Judge.” enthused an acquaintance, smiling a gold-plated smile, “I hope you hold no prejudice against gold tooth fillings.” Fashionable Mrs. Chesty Bolton, wife of the congressman from Lyndhurst, 0., poured tea and coffee and smiled sweetly on every one. Senator Bulkley was the only one w'ho failed to wear a morning coat. He affected a doublebreasted blue serge suit and looked the typical bridegroom. Small, gray-haired W. A. Julian, treasurer of the United States and national committeeman of Ohio, held forth persistently about his “back to the land” movement. “A cup of coffee, Julian,” urged a friend. “We must,” said Julian, “Get back to the land.” ‘‘That’s coffee grounds for murder,” replied an amateur funny man. Representative James G. Polk, thpdirt farmer of Highland. 0., was profuse in congratulations. Bald-headed stocky Representative Warren J. Duffey of Toledo leaned forward to catch every word. Representative Frank C. Kniffin waved his shock of thick, black hair in Napoleonesque fashion. ("Well, why not? He’s a native of Napoleon, 0..” explained friends.) Eloquent Representative Charles V. Tmax, the silver-tongued orator of Bucyrus. 0., balanced a cup in one hand while he talked about balancing the budget. Such a gathering of Ohio's best minds has not been seen here for some months. Only Senator Fess was missing—and nobody seemed to miss him. o o a BLACK-MUSTACHED Ambassador Saito of Japan the other afternoon donned formal attire, entertained at a buffet luncheon in celebration of the thirty-fifth birthday of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Hirohito. Polite, ceremonious Japanese arrived at the embassy, bowed to His Excellency, exchanged pious wishes for health of their sovereign. Telephones rang. Punctual diplomats remembered to call at the embassy and leave cards. Amid chrysanthemums—symbolic flower of the imperial house—Envoy and Mme. Saito smilingly received members of the Japanese colony, served typically Japanese dishes, toasted Emperor Hirohito with Saki wine in traditional fashion. Congress is anxious to end the present session in a hurry, but not any more anxious than the public is. We may have overnight flights to Europe in five years, says Glenn Martin, famous aircraft builder. Most likely the flights will be from, not to, Europe, the way things axe going there.

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.) a it a ’’MONKEY BUSINESS” SHOWS A PROFIT By Harry Wilfong. This monkey story explains the cause of the depression: There was a group of monkeys which lived on an Island. The monkeys ate cocoanuts. The monkeys were very fond of sea shells which were very scarce. Upon finding a sea shell a monkey would let it glitter in the sun and the rest of the monkeys were envious. One day the king monkey was digging in sand near the sea coast and he uncovered a great bed of shells, and immediately covered them again. He said to himself, “I have found the appl to the other monkeys’ eyes.” King monkey opened a cocoanut market. He told the other monkeys that for each and every cocoanut he would give them one shell. All of the monkeys started to the woods in the morning and worked late to bring in cocoanuts to trade for shells. Finally, they gathered all of the coaconuts they could find. Soon they became hungry and went to the market. The told the king monkey they wanted to buy cocoanuts and they started to give the king one shell for one cocoanut but, he said, ‘“‘No, you will have to give me two shells for each cocoanut. The worker monkeys said, “This is unfair; there is no justice in it. The king monkey said, “I am entitled to profits.” To keep from starving, they had to give him two shells. Finally, the king monkey had 50 per cent of the cocoanuts left and all of the shells. The monkeys wondered what to do. The king monkey told them if they would give him a mortgage on their next year's crop, they could eat up the other 50 per cent. The following year they produced 33 1-3 per cent but owed 50 per cent. They paid the king the 33 1-3 per cent and asked the king to extend their credit for the next crop. The king said. “I will not, you monkeys have lost your credit. tt tt tt ASSERTS TWO UNIONS NOT RECOGNIZED' By F. H. F. I have been a reader of The Times for many years, and I am thoroughly convinced that this is the only paper that is not afraid to print the truth about the strike. In the article about the E. M. B. A. being so square and Real Silk paying more wages than any other factory here, listen to this and allow the public to see the truth: I was a topper in the Fulton mills and I have worked fifty-two hours and a half in one week for the large sum of $6.57 before the NRA compelled payment of a minimum wage. About a month ago the mills installed strippers on the machines to make ringless hose which sell for more money. Then they give the employes a cut while smaller factories were raising wages. The manager said he could have hose knitted in other cities cheaper than here. Then why is he so anxious to get him employes back at work? Why doesn't he sell out the knitting machines? Could he still advertise fresh silk hose? If you still think the E. M. B. A. is more • square than the union, what will you do when the NRA is no longer in effect? The Fulton and National voted union 100 per cent. If the Real Silk election is binding, why haven’t Fulton and National unions been; v

Holy Writ Applied to Economics

By A Striker. I hope you will print this for the sake of conscientious objectors to strikers on the ground of religion. Matthews, 25, 31-46, shows the practical application of Jesus’ statement, “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” He condemns to hell those who do not clothe the naked, and feed the hungry. He commends those who do and gives them life eternal. If we, by united effort can increase our wage sufficiently to be able to comply with Jesus’ commandment, we are doing our Christian duty. Worthy religious causes are at a standstill because we are not financially able to do our part. James, 5:16, condemns holding back wages, in no uncertain terms. Real Silk pays knitters 40 per cent less wages than union mills, vet its product is the most expensive on the market. Union mills pay profits to middlemen lor distribution that Real Silk saves by selling direct to the consumer. Yet Real Silk would have us believe that the E. M. B. A. guarantees fair treatment to employes. The fine cars and fine homes owned by Real Silk workers are

DEFINES DEMOCRACY IN INDUSTRY By an Observer. Dr. Wirt's attack on the new deal policies of getting business on a decent basts, is a straw in the wind, that reveals who is w r ho in this benevolent despotism of capitalism. A pseudo-democracy that sputters about liberty of its sovereign citizens while the voices of the creators of wealth, in mine, factory and on farms live on the fringes of abject poverty, do not even echo in the control of industry, is more mockery than democracy. The divine right of our princes of industry to control the division of the products of labor to permit a luxurious living for a few, and a poverty standard for the real producers, is a hangover of the era of monarchs and castles. Shall economic power rest with the makers of wealth, or shall the fakers and takers wave the flag of liberty while they destroy the liberty of labor to enjoy a just distribution of its products? A democracy is a government for all the people, by all the people. It is a commonwealth—not a despotism, autocracy, plutocracy, or bureaucracy. It means more than the right to vote for select men of special privilege. Real democracy can not exist without having all the workers in industry represented in the control of the policies of business. Without the labor of the sovereign workers, no production is possible. Labor fc is capital. Labor creates capital; our capitalists would starve if they depended on the products created by capital. NRA codes of fair business practices are framed by the takers, without the voice of the makers, as to fair wages. Democracy in industry creates incentive for the workers to produce better goods, more goods for use and reasonable pay for management. it n n FAIR NAME OF DELPHI FINDS CHAMPION Br Fred Thompson.

I don’t know w r ho wrote that article but I want to inform him I was born in Carroll county on the banks of the Wabash river one mile west of Delphi, fifty-one years ago.

found only at homes where there are no children and both husband and wife are working. Forty per cent more wages would put thousands of dollars more ito the pockets of grocers, milkn on and others, in Indianapolis. It would not increase the cost of stockings because Real Silk stockings already are the highest priced on the market. It will only reduce the enorrr js salaries paid directors and otner officials of Real Silk and give the employes nearer their rightful share of the profits. Goodman is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to break our spirits and make serfs of us, instead of giving us what is rightfully ours. The election held last fall was a fake as facts will prove. National and Fulton mills both voted union and they are fighting with us for recognition. Mr. Goodman wants us to abide by the false election at Real Silk, but he refuses to abide by an honest vote at his own Fulton mill. The government is assisting Goodman to break the rights it has guaranteed us in the NRA. which it should be forcing him to recognize.

law abiding citizens. I wonder if he went fishing up there and had bad luck and thought he would knock Delphi. B B tt WHY DOES GOODMAN CLING TO E. M. B. A. By S. A. M. After reading E. B. S. and R. S. letters in The Times, I would like for them to answer this question: Why is J. A. Goodman so anxious to keep the E. M. B. A. in force at this plant? Every one know-s it is not for the good of his employes. I live between two of his employes, a knitter and a girl w’orker. The knitter drawls sls a week, for knitting twenty-eight dozen pairs of stockings. I don't think any one who has seen a knitting machine would say that every one could run one. The knitters have not been satisfied with the E. M. B. A. and J. A. Goodman knows it. This girl says the workers were told to vote for the E. M. B. A. or they would have no job. Mr. Goodman never approached the knitters. He knew they w-ere men and boys of intelligence and not girls of 18 and 19. who were not able to figure out the matter for themselves. The vote was not fair. Why should the knitters’ vote be counted with the janitors’ vote? Why were not the National and Fulton plant knitters votes recognized? These mills are owned by Real Silk. Mr. Goodman has the idea he is a ruler and the workers are his slaves. I have known this knitter to get his check with a cut and he would have to take it. This knitter has been with Real Silk five years and last fall when he joined the union his insurance was taken away from him. I think our Governor and mayor should be asked how they stand. When the strikers had a meeting one was out of the city and the other had a more important engagement. The Times is to be congratulate on its fair publicity on the Real Silk strike. e a a ASKS RECOGNITION OF V. F. W. SERVICE By W. H. .Morrell I read an item in The Times about the American Legion's probe of guardianships of veterans with request to all veterans to write in suspicions and the statement mat

MAY 2, 1934

the legion has a man in Marion county probing guardianship records. The Veterans of Foreign Wars spent more than a year probing the records and this group has the facts and not suspicions and as in the | past after some other organization ! does the work the legion steps in I and gets the credit. It is time the I credit goes where it belongs. BAN GUNS; END CRIME, ROOSEVELT ADVISED Bv Charles Ealy. Addressed to President Roosevelt: You will find some clippings inclosed regarding our crime w r ave in Indiana, with 5.000 officers covering a part of five states after one man with all the power invested in them by the federal government. The lives of good citizens and thousands upon thousands of dollars are being sacrificed, purely because this one man has a gun or guns. My purpose in writing this is to urge that you. our beloved President use your power tc bring to the American people i gunless nation. If any man can do this I believe you can. Guns were made for no other purpose than to kill something or somebody. Why not stop the making of guns and ammunition and stop the sale of guns and ammunition; take them off the market, give six months time for every person in the United States to turn over guns to the federal government. Fix a penalty of a fine of $5,000 or ten years in prison. Give the merchant the same if caught selling them. Why should any man be allowed to carry a gun; he can have but one purpose, that is to kill some person. With no guns, there would be no bank robberies; no filling station holdups; little if any kidnaping; no train robberies; no pay roll holdup'. Thousands of persons are in prison who ought not to be there purely because they could get guns and use them. Families by the thousands are wrecked, widow's and orphans are hungry. Millions and millions are going out into illegitimate channels. Billions in commercial values are being wasted. The different states can handletheir own game hunting program. B tt tt LEFT-HANDED PRAISE FOR MR. GRESHAM By K. David Adam?. I will recommend A. G. Gresham - the very idea of anybody questioning his integrity! He certainly is well qualified to vouch for both Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Coffin, he having long been an astute politician himself. He always has been an untiring worker for Arthur Robinson.
