Dali Case Evidences New Deal Matters of State Fail to Deter Daughter of President. BY GKETTA PALMER Times Special Writer NEW YORK, June 21.—Mrs. Dali has gone to Reno. She is the second child of the first President ever to permit such goings-on during his term of office. And the fact that considerations of state have not been permitted to interfere with her search for personal happiness

is, perhaps, one of the strongest vindications of the New Deal to women. There have been many tragedies occasioned in the past thousand years or so by the hypocrisy of regulating your actions by the yardstick of your neighbor’s view's. It would be illuminating to know how many persons

Jr

Miss Palmer

have behaved in a fashion excruciatingly uncomfortable to themselves because of setting a good example to the servants. The servants, lucky devils, having to set a good example to no one, were permitted to be natural. Democracy, at least, has brought in the theory that one person is as bad as another and that the pretense of perfection on the part of the upper classes is so much waste of time. The servants, in this modern age, do not require a good example. They aren’t looking. Responsibility Remains There was a time when “noblesse | oblige” was a respectable motto, j That time has passed. Noblesse | oblige operates now only if it is something that one does without the j lease self-consciousness—the kind of j thing, for instance, that keeps the better sort of duchess from falling flat on her face after the port wine has been passed around. The kind of artificial and feudal relationship which kept our betters on their best against their wills, has died from the world. But it is a question whether the more fundamental responsibility of the feudal relationship has not some reason for survival. In our south, the son-in-law of a white family’s cook, after his little experiment with a razor, can always count on the presence of the white family’s head in the courtroom, prepared to defend him. In return for loyal service, he can depend upon the “massa” to look after him in the more serious disasters of his life. We have no such concern in the north, and yet, perhaps, life would be pleasanter if we had. For there are many helpless individuals who find themselves, every day, in the complicated meshes of our law. They do not understand that ambulance chasers are not to be trusted. They do not comprehend the complexities of modern life. New Hobby Suggested They may break half a dozen laws without having heard of them, and they may spend months in jail without understanding that they have a. sound defense. These are the persons who would profit by the feudal system, in which the educated protect the interests of the ignorant and the poor. There are a great many sensible and informed people in this city who could help them. Well, it is our suggestion that they should. And what a magnificent hobby it would make for the women who have timt. and energy to burn! We urge that these women haunt the stations, the courthouses and the other centers where the ignorant are apt to find themselves in a dilemma that they do not understand. Let these women, with no ladylike hesitation, rush up and offer their services and advice. They may be rebuffed ten times, but they may be of inestimable value the one time they are not. When you have no obligations to a single household of servants, it is quite possible that your obligation still persists. Only it concerns the plight of strangers who have no one else to care for them. The Roosevelts do not live in fear of the opinion of the masses. But they are very feudal in their willingness to help them out of jams.

A Woman’s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON “TiJ'AGNIFICENT, stupendous, JLVJL awe-inspiring,” were some of the adjectives used to describe the naval parade. When one reads, however, that it was “essentially a parade for peace,” as a few solemn editors assure us, suspicion must also attach to other descriptions. Here are excerpts frorii a typi-

cal tribute: “T h e naval parade was a mighty spectacle. It represented the power and splendor of this government. We know the navy as the best insurance we have against involverrent in war. We know the people of

Mrs. Ferguson

this country do not want any war whatever and that the policy of the government is distinctly peaceful.” “Oh, yeah!” would be the proper Hollywood retort to all that. If our parade was a parade for peace then the long marching lines of Herr Hitler’s troops are signs of German amity and love, and the frantic arming of the Fernch but evidences of their amiable attitude toward the world. Funny, isn’t it, how we condemn in others the behavior we call angelic in ourselves? We are told by the militant element in this country that preparations for war in Europe always mean ultimate war for Europe. But, they say, preparations in America will mean ultimate peace for us. And this kind of inconsistency most of us accept as excellent logic. But if you lived in Europe, and you heard that the United States had built and equipped the largest naval force in all its history,

would you honestly believe that we expected to keep peace? I should like, also, to challenge the idea that a huge navy represents the power and splendor of our government. It represents, instead, just as it always has represented in history, the beginning of the end of all power and splendor. It is the first sign of national decadence, because it transforms an agricultural and home-loving race into a military machine, and that machine eventually grinds up its own creators. Probably the relatives of the dead in Toledo, 0., will not be moved to patriotic fervors by such evidence of our splendors, nor will the smoke from all the dreadnaughts blot from the consciousness of our people the knowledge that if we are to save ourselves
