" SATURDAY. MAY 26. 1934. THE FAIR. 1934 MODEL CHICAGO’S world's fair, reopening today, will reveal this country's progress not only over the past century, but over the past year. More than $6,000,000 has been spent in renovations. The added crowds riding Chicagoward in new cars will demonstrate the advent of better times. Chiefly progress has been made in taste. The nudities and crudities of last year have been deleted. Gayety, not jazz and blatancy, will be reflected in softer colors, better music, more temperate amusements. Thre will be anew street of villages, picturing the native lift of the world’s countries. America has made progress in one year. Perhaps before another “Century of Progress” exposition is staged social progress comparable with the material advance of the past century will be recorded. Then America may point with greater pride. LEARN THE WORLD—ONE of the results of the present period of uncertainty and confusion may eventually be a sounder and more realistic educational system in the United States. The recent report of the social studies commission of the American Historical Association calls for such change, and demonstrates that some educators, at least, are aware of our need for a method of teaching which will really tell pupils what kind of world they are inhabiting. For instance, the report urges that school children be taught to study their own communities in a realistic manner. It suggets that they look into “the inefficiencies, the corruptions, the tensions, the conflicts, the contradictions, and the injustices of the age,” in addition to “the material and spiritual potentialities implicit in man’s mastery of natural forces.” One need only compare that program with the general custom at present to see what a change it would involve. Nowadays the youngster in the grade school or the high school learns all the theories of democratic government perfectly. He is shown how our American system is meant to work—how it would work tomorrow, if it could be set down in a vacuum, free from the stresses and tensions of everyday life. Then, after a while, he finishes his schooling and goes out into the world —and discovers that his teachers didn’t tip him off to the real way in which things get done. He finds that they forgot to tell him anything about ward politics, about the devious business of city contracts and “honest graft,” about the power that predatory wealth can exercise in government, about the favors and deals and compromises through which politics is commonly run. He has to discover those things for himself; the discovery usually comes as a shock, and * the contrast of reality with the ideal he studied in school is so distressing that the youngster likely is to conclude that politics is a dirty business in which a gentleman will not dabble. The natural result is that politics remains the happy hunting ground of those whose scruples are less sensitive —and we go on having our Tammany halls, our Vare machines, our Big Bill Thompsons and our Huey Longs. Nothing could help the country more than an educational revolution that would teach pupils about the world as it really exists.

A NEIGHBORLY NOTION /''kUR Canadian neighbors, who have a genius for good will, are planning a campaign to educate the citizens of both the United States and Canada on the desirability of visiting each other. It is to be a sort of "See North America First” movement among potential tourists on both sides of the border. Can we do less than reciprocate this gracious gesture of our good neighbors and customers, who motor by the thousands every winter to Florida and Southern California, and who buy from us twice as much as they sell to us? As the sun shines warmer over these United States, there are many appealing reasons tfhy Americans may think of vacationing somewhere in the cool expanse of Canada. There is the lakes region, where it is said a fisherman may fish all summer, each day in a different lake for different kinds of fish. There are the gorgeous Canadian Rockies, the scenic dominion parks, the pleasant climate of British Columbia. There are the quaint villages of Quebec, more French than France. And—not the least argument—the American dollar still rings true upon Canadian counters. Our dollar will still buy one Canadian dollar’s w’orth of goods or service. ONE COLLEGE TOO MANY OELIEVERS in democracy, who hope for the day when the people shall elect the President and Vice-President of the United States, need not be discouraged because the senate has rejected twice the Norris resolution submitting a constitutional amendment abolishing the electoral college. It is an emasculated resolution, and would give the people no more voice than they now have. It would do nothing more than abolish the antiquated electoral college, and cause the names of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates, . instead of the names of the electors, to appear on the ballot. A candidate winning a bare plurality of a state’s popular vote would still get that state’s total electoral vote. A restl reform in the direction of greater

democracy in government is the Lea resolution, pending in the house. It provides that a state’s electoral vote shall be apportioned among presidential and vice-presidential candidates on the ratio of popular votes received. That was what the Norris resolution originally provided. Senator Norris, master of the technique of compromising details without sacrificing principle, seems to have compromised on a principle when he consented to revision of his resolution. But Senator Norris “works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform.” For years he compromised all over the Capitol on his Muscle Shoals bill, but the measure finally enacted was much the kind of a law he had always wanted. So too with his lame duck amendment. We believe he will yet succeed in introducing democracy into our election system. SAFER RAILROADS r T'HE American Railway Association’s safety* ■*- section is out with figures indicating amazing progress over the last decade in reducing deaths and accidents among railway workers. In 1923 there were 150,012 rail employes killed or maimed. By last year this number had been steadily reduced to 14,955. By 1939 the safety section hopes and expects to bring this number down to about 10,500. In these days of employer liability, safety, of course, pays. Not all employers, unfortunately, can boast of such enlightenment as this record discloses. THE ARMS INVESTIGATOR JN Stephen Raushenbush the senate munitions committee has found, from all accounts, a capable and thorough investigator. The committee’s decision to appoint an advisory board, however, seems less praiseworthy; not because of the membership of that board, but because the old saw that “too many cooks spoil the broth” is still true. Senator Nye, the chairman, and Chief Investigator Raushenbush will have their hands full when they start their investigation of the steel and the chemical makers, the ship fabricators and the airplane builders. But, with the President’s leadership, and his public appeal for support, they should not hesitate to get at the bottom of the munitions racket if and as it exists in the United States. HARRY HOPKINS npHIS country ow’es an uncommon debt to Harry L. Hopkins, now finishing his first year as Uncle Sam’s relief director. This is not because he’s spent more money, fed more people, salvaged more homes than almost any relief worker of history. After all, spending money—even $1,500,000,000 a year—may not be so hard. What makes this lanky harness-maker’s son from lowa unique is his cheery, common sense kindness. He hands out less bunk and spins less red-tape than most bureaucrats, and he admits that “undoubtedly we did make mistakes.” “We all get balled up because we get too formal about a problem that’s really quite simple,” he told state relief directors the other day. “If a destitute rural family needs a house, a cow or work implements, go and get it. Just cut out the red-tape and get down to work.” That does not mean he is careless W'ith public moneys. When he found politicians and petty grafters muscling in on CWA jobs he cracked down with scant ceremony and with no bluster. The FERA chief’s task is far from finished. Probably the most difficult part is ahead. About 1.000,000 people have been taken off his hands, but there still are 4,000,000 families to be fed. The drought in the northwest makes relief this summer largely a rural problem, a more complicated one than feeding city destitute. Also there is likely to be another big work-relief plan, similar to CWA. next winter. But there is real assurance in Hopkins’ assertion, “Nobody’s going to go hungry;’ don’t worry about that!”

CENTURY OF PROGRESS 'T'HE innumerable labor troubles of the day make dismal reading. Now and then, however, it is instructive to compare them with the labor troubles of a century ago. The following story, printed in the London Times of May 2, 1834, makes interesting reading: ‘‘So great is the prevalence of the spirit promulgated lately by the unions as to wages that all classes appear to be actuated by a spirit of opposition to their employers. Even the washerwomen have not escaped the system. “No fewer than seventy of this useful class of females struck at Kensington for higher wages. It appears that 2 shillings 6 pence per diem and two half pints of beer has been the regular scale of wages, but a revolt was agreed upon and the price to be demanded fixed at 3 shillings per diem and the usual beer allowance. “Affter a considerable time had been occupied in parleying, the washerwomen gained their point, and after taking copious libations of gin returned the following day to their tubs as usual.” That little story presents a striking picture of the labor movement of a century ago. The improvement since then is too obvious to need comment. POINT OF VIEW 'T'HE Italian newspaper 11 Popolo d’ltalia, which is owned by Mussolini himself, foresees the decline and fall of the United States. Why? Because the 'birth rate .is falling. This, says the paper, shows a "paralysis of energy” and will result before long in national decadence. “Within several generations,” it adds, "the births and deaths will be equal, and then the crumbling of America’s skyscrapers will begin.” Before getting too gloomy about this, it is well to remember that Mussolini is constantly telling the Italians about the beauties of a high birth rate; and when one recalls that Italy is already overpopulated, and that further population pressure can only add to the disastrous tensions of European politics, one suspects that America’s falling birth rate will prove less dangerous than Italy’s rising one. Indiana’s Republicans don’t seem to be taking Arthur Robinson’s presidential hopes seriously judging by the way they’re trying to beat him. Perhaps they don’t recognize -true talent. \

Liberal Viewpoint BY DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES' MODERN science has extended greatly our knowledge of the physical universe. At the same time, it has shown the impressive limitations of the human intellect in any attempt to form a final and dogmatic view of the nature and purpose of the cosmos. Mr. Rothschild very clearly and usefully has brought out the failure of science to provide us with any final interpretation of the universe (Reality and Illusion. By Richard Rothschild. Harcourt, Brace. $3.50). But he certainly errs in both fact and logic in his attempt to show that the old religious and metaphysical dogmas offer as satisfactory an explanation as the findings of contemporary science. Human marriage has been one of the most basic of all social institutions since prehistoric times. Doctor Westermarck is regarded generally as the foremost authority on the history of marriage institutions and practices throughout the whole evolution of mankind. (The History of Human Marriage. By Edward Westermarck. Macmillan. 3 vols. sls). It was he who blasted forever the doctrine of universal sexual promiscuity in primitive times. Briffault and others more recently have shown that Westermarck went too far in minimizing the existence of promiscuity among primitives, but his w'ork still remains the monumental treatment of the course of human marriage. a tt tt WITH the exception of a few converts and enthusiasts, the western w'orld has realized very inadequately the importance of Buddhism in the history of human civilization. Yet its influence upon thought and action has rivaled that of Christianity. Readers in the English-speaking world now may remedy this gap in their knowledge through the excellent work on Buddhist philosophy and theology by Doctor Thomas, author of the standard biography of Buddah (The History of Buddhist Thought. By Edward J. Thomas. Alfred Knopf. $5). Professor Preserved Smith is engaged upon the writing of the definitive and comprehensive history of western civilization since the beginning of the sixteenth century. The second volume has just appeared, covering the age of the Enlightenment from 1687 to 1776 (A History of Modern Culture. Vol. 11. By Preserved Smith. Henry Holt Cos. $4). It constitutes an unrivaled one volume survey of the orgins and manifestations of modern rationalism. The wide research and immense scholarship upon which the book rests do not prevent the author from putting down his facts and thoughts in a clear and attractive style. This work bids fair to become the outstanding achievement in the so-called “new history” to be produced by an American scholar. tt a * '"’“RICAN readers are widely familiar with J\ at least the names and general achievements of the James brothers. William and Henry. But they are less aware that these eminent American intellectuals were the sons of a father who quite matched them in intellectual powers and originality. Mr. Hartley Grattan emphasized the importance of the elder Henry James and first made intelligible to American readers the nature and inter-relationship of the James trinity. Now Mr. Warren gives us a very lucid and interesting volume on the elder James which should make, secure the place of the latter in the intellectual history of the United States. (The Elder Henry James. By Austin Warren. Macmillan. $2.50.) tt u BEFORE the Civil war the culture and urbanity of the cultivated south thoroughly matched, if it did not surpass, that of the north and east. The impact of the war and the savagery of reconstruction were a tremendous blow to the cultural life of the south, and the latter was for years the target for much satire and ridicule on the part of northern highbrows. Mr. Couch has edited a comprehensive volume on the cultural life of the contemporary south, which impressively reveals the progress made towards regaining the lost cultural pre-eminence of the American southland (Culture in the South. Edited by W. T. Couch. U. of North Carolina Press. $4).

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL

WEARING a blue cornflower in his coat lapel, Admiral Sir Lewis Bayly of His Majesty’s navy paid his respects to the United States navy department. Clean-shaven, well tailored and slightly stoop shouldered, the neat little Britisher was whisked this way and that, bowed in and out of one round after another and finally wound up as guest of honor at a tea in the Army-Navy Country Club. One American admiral after another took charge of the visitor. First it was Rear-Admiral Hayne Ellis, chief of naval intelligence. “I remember seeing you in Southampton,” he informed Admiral Bayly. ‘‘Quite . . . quite,” piped Bayly. Then it became the turn of Admiral Standley, chief of naval operations. “Glad to see you. Admiral,” he boomed. Then arrived Admiral Taussig, assistant chief of naval operations. “This is my workshop. Admiral,” he beamed, opening wide the door of his office. Admiral Bryant, chief of the war plans division, now took command and piloted his guest toward the teacups (a pastime relished by every British subject, whether admiral or lieutenant). Admiral Lloyd P. Chandler, Bayly’s host, then took him to dinner and told him some Kiplingesaue stories. (Chandler is recognized as one of the leading authorities on Kipling in the United States). ana WHITE-SUITED, dapper Ambassador Cardenas of Spain ended his ambassadorship to the United States in a blaze of tropical heat. Panama hats, fans and handkerchiefs fluttered in farewell as the train bearing the popular envoy and his wife to New York crawled out of the oppressive warmth of Union station. Despite the fact that the train platform felt like a foot-stove, nearly every one who counts for anything in diplomatic life strode along toward the Cardenas Pullman. It resembled a garden party, with the sunshine, the gay dresses, the flowers, the straw hats, linens, white coats and flannels. One legation attache calmly nibbled a pink ice cream cone. Mme. de Cardenas —much affected by the demonstration—wept as she waved good-by from the steps of the Pullman. She carried a large bouquet of American Beauty roses, red and white carnations and spring flowers. e u a Assistant secretary of state sumNER WELLES and Mrs. Welles were at the train to say "hasta luega.” They are close friends of the Cardenas family. The tall, slim secretary seemed unaffected by the high temperature. He became used to heat in Havana. Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British ambassador, suffered visibly. His British placidity and British flannel suit wilted noticeably under the heat wave. Once at a White House reception, he fanned himself with a plumed hat and remarked: "R* Jove, it’s hot!” Yeso-rtfay he didn’t fan himself at all. He stood stoically and once curved his lips into a silent whistle expressive of his chagrin. Felipe Espil, the Argentine ambassador, braved the Washington climate in a thick brown suit. Ambassador Laboulaye of France sent his regrets. He had to go to Annapolis to visit the French training ship. “Anyhow, we’ll meet in Paris,” he assured Cardenas. Greek Minister Charalambos Simopoulos and Peruvian Ambassador Freyre were both on hand, wearing linens. The German ambassador is out of town, but little Italian Ambassador Ro'so, his hair sleekly shining iri .the sunlight, arrived to shake his colleague’s hand.

WE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

(Times readers are invited to express their views in these columns. Make your letters short, so all can have a chance, himit them to 250 words or less.) tt tt tt By Hiram Lackey. The prominent space which you gave H. D. Kissenger’s letter on the “Red Flag Menace” is indicative of your fairness. For the growth of modesty and clear thinking among college professors, ministers and editors, it is well for them to view with retrospective eye this picture of absurd thought. As an exercise in intellectual discipline, let us American Christians cast aside our prejudice cf yesterday and state the facts about Russia with fairness and with force. It is well for us to remember that both Americanism as advocated by Mr. Kissenger and communism are religions. Justice demands our admission that both religions need the application of the entire gospel of Christ. “By their fruits, ye shall know them.” Viewed in the light of His word, Russia and the red flag is more truly representative of the Christian spirit than is America and the rest of the world. Religion without the injection of economics is absurd hypocrisy and impossible of successful practice. God will not soil His immaculate hands with the touch of the leprous hypocrite. God can and does shake hands with the pagans. The boasted patriotic nationalism of Mr. Kissinger is the avowed enemy of Christianity. This Americanism contains all of the evils of individual selfishness caricatured in their ugliest aspects. As did the college professors of an anemic age, so does Mr. Kissenger worship at the shrine of the liberal George Washington, the while muttering curses against the flag of oppressed peoples, made red by the blood of multi-colored races. Had Mr. Kissenger lived in the days of the American revolution he would have been a tory. nun COMPETITE SYSTEM BREEDS POVERTY By Charles Burton. Poverty is a disease caused by the unjust wage system of competitive capitalism for producing and distributing the necessities of life, food, clothing and shelter for the profit capitalist, the few who live by owning the material and machines of production and distribution. This blighting malady can not be cured by charity, but it will spread until this system is supplanted by the just one of co-operative industrialism, a system by which these necessities shall be produced and distributed for the use of laborers, those who live by making and operating machines. Every gift to charity by a rich man is a robbery of a poor man. You will not see this at once, if ever, and I shall not blame you for the failure to do so. It was not seen by me until I was older than you, but I now see it as clearly as I ever saw the sun on a cloudless noonday and this is true of rapidly growing millions who resolutely have determined to do away with the prevailing conception of charity. tt tt u CLEMENCY BOARD PUT ON “PAN” By E. G. B. I have been a reader of The Times and Indianapolis Sun for twenty years. I want to make a protest against the present clemency board. At the present meeting two south side boys were denied paroles. Both were sentenced for robbery. One had served three years of a ten-year sentence and the other more than three years. The papers didn’t give the reason for denial, but the mother of one prisoner said she received a letter stating that her son’s petition was denied because of insufficient time. She said jyayne Coy had told her previously tnat she would have to

Socialism and Cap

By H. A. C. The Brookings Institution reports the findings of a study, showing that America can produce twice as much as it does now, and 20 per cent more than it did in 1919. This could be accomplished without any improvement in our production efficiency. Finally, the report asks what there can be in the organization or functioning of our economic system which prevents us from attaining such a production. I thought that, by this time, the reason for the crippled production must be obvious even to the dullest mind, but this question by the institute seems to indicate that I have overestimated the capacity of the human brain. It is, of course, nothing in our economic system which curtails production. It is the capitalist system as such. Since the producers are also the consumers it is self-evident that production is limited by the pay rolls. And since the object of capitalist production is to make money—that means to buy labor as low as possible and to sell the commodities back to labor as high as possible—the total of the pay rolls always will remain at a respectful distance from the total sales value of the goods. It is a mathematical impossibility to make capitalism function, unless a rapidly increasing expansion takes place. This is not guesswork, but an established fact. Asa consequence, our standard of living, which depends upon the output and sales of commodities, must from now on keep sinking. This will happen because

have the prosecutor’s and judge’s recommendation on a statement that they had no objection to her son’s release. She did that. Now I want to let the readers of The Times judge for themselves whether this boy should have a chance to restore himself to society again. Here are the facts: There is a prominent doctor here who wrote his desire to give this young man work as an assistant in one of his clinics. The man who was robbed also wanted the boy released. The prosecutor and judge had no objection. This young man has a son who needs his support and guidance. He has an absolutely clean institution record for three years. A denial like this is what makes John Dillingers and God knows we don’t want any more of them. Wayne Coy’s statement to Mr. Dean when asked in the board room if he had any comment to make was, with a gesture of his hand, “No, no, not interested.’’ Well, he should be interested if he’s going to be trusted with the destiny of some 5,000 of our young men. I urge that every interested citizen of this state get behind their representatives and insist upon an automatic parole system that will save this state the expense of a clemency board such as we have now. a a a STREAM POLLUTION AND FISH SLAUGHTER By George Champlin. I read in The Times of Saturday, May 18, concerning desired conservation laws outlined after discussion of 139 subjects. I saw a picture of game wardens with forty-nine bass, victims of slaughter with pitchforks. It would make any man with brains cry to think we who live along the river need to be told about fish. Three miles above Waverly a buzzard can’t live. Every once in a. while I read that there are thousands of game fish in White river. A Sometimes I don’(name the peo-

talism in Contrast there is no possibility of expansion, and no possibility of such an enormous export trade as would be necessary to balance discrepancy between wages and prices. In the Socialist state, the pay rolls will equal the sales value of the goods, and production may thus be raised and lowered according to the people’s needs, independently of everything else. The only limitations for production will be the supply of raw materials and our own desire for commodities. While capitalism is pitifully inefficient, Socialism will be exceedingly efficient. By improving our industrial plants and increasing their number, and also by producing durable goods instead of junk, we will, under Socialism, be able to establish a standard of living which will make 1929 look ridiculous in comparison. Such things ds Hoover’s “chicken in every pot” sound rather cheap to a Socialist. He could at least make it a turkey. We want things like air conditioning in every house, a grand piano in every home, golf for every garbage collector, Beethoven for every coal miner, Shakespeare for every prize fighter and Florida for every silk knitter. It is, however, no easy task to make people understand what Socialism means to them. The answer is often the same as that which their ancestors gave when Christianity was introduced—“ Our fathers’ belief is good enough for us.” Nevertheless, Christianity is an established fact.

ple for killing the fish because the sewage from Indianapolis is turned into the river and kills the fish by the ton. I think it is time to do something about the streams and stop talking. What’s the use to pay to raise fish and put them in the river one day and kill them the next? a a a FIREARMS ONLY FOR REAL ESTATE OWNERS By William Driffill. Charles Ealy says the way to stop crime is to take all guns from the people and stop making guns. William Collins says let every one carry a gun who wants to. I differ with both. If you want to stop crime, let no one have a gun unless he can show a deed for real estate. That will make the gun owner responsible. One thing which causes crime is that the people are sport crazy and sport breeds corruption. a a a TRACKLESS CARS ARE POPULAR By Sciuth Meridian Patron. In reply to Mr. T. F. Class’ article of April 26 in regard to the trackless trolley licensing, I wish to advise Mr. Glass of the conditions surrouding the trackless trolley. In the first place, the majority of the people of Indianapolis who do not own automobiles and who rely soley on this kind of transportation are heartily in favor of the new equipment and the demand is so great on the Riverside and South Meridian lines that the street car company is going to equip almost all lines with these new busses. We are sure proud of them on South Meridian. We taxpayers only paid 10 per cent of the cost of the paving of South Meridian street and the street car company paid 15 per cent. Isn’t that fair, Mr. Glass? The operators of these busses go through a complete and strenuous examination before they are qualified. First, they- ipust know how to drive an automobile and second.

I advise Mr. Glass to go to the attorney-general and get the facts before he condemns this progressive corporation. a a tt BETTER BUSINESS AND SSOO REWARD By a Striker.
