WEDNESDAY, JULY U, 1934. A MATTER OF LOGIC IN the galloping, cross-country, always lively "logic” of Heywood Broun the strikebreaker becomes “an anti-social member of the community,” who "sells his birthright for a few meager and immediate pieces of silver” and. therefore, never should be given the protection of police or national guardsmen when he functions in any Industry. Mr. Broun hates to see the San Francisco dock strike bring out guardsmen and police, who are "supported by the taxpayers.” In Toledo he would have had every owner of a business "down on the picket line with a placard urging the employers to comply with the demands of the workers.” The Indianapolis Times needs only the record to prove its friendliness to organized labor. But we think Mr. Broun, in what he calls "The Logic of Circumstances,” is far too cavalier toward taxpayers communities not unnaturally interested in the protection of life and property. Since when have union strike methods become completely and in all cases immaculate? Since when have aroused men ceased to be human? Since when has the public found it safe to permit collective bargaining to be turned into unrestricted, unpoliced, one-sided coercion? The long recognized weaker side has a special claim to have its rights supported and safeguarded. But we think there are better friends of union labor than those who tell it Its demands are always justified, its methods always right and its critics always wrong. We enjoy the freshness and speed of Mr. Broun's enthusiasm. But we believe the NewDeal promises enough for labor to make it unnecessary to crush strike-breaking by withdrawing police and guardsmen, while unions fight it out with employers regardless of what happens to the public. After all. the logic of collective bargaining is not a logic of Donnybrook Fair. DEMOCRATIC SHAKEUP FROM all appearances, the city's Democratic organization soon will undergo a housecleaning by Walter C. Boetcher, city chairman. The Democrats will find plenty to do this fall and if there are any changes to be made, it will be well for Mr. Boetcher to carry’ out his ideas as soon as possible. The longer dissension. if any, is permitted in the ranks of the city's Democrats, the harder it will be to iron out by the time the fall campaign gets under way. Regardless of the fact that Senator Arthur R. Robinson is going to use the cry of John Dillmger m his fall campaign, he will face a Democratic organization that will be the strongest in years. It is up to the Democrats of every unit in Indiana to strive toward one goal—defeat of Robinson. So. if Mr. Boetcher has factional troubles in his ranks, let them be cleared at once, so he will not have to solidify his vote-getting army at the last minute. THE OLD, OLD STORY THE old. old story has been related again on the front pages of the Indianapolis newspapers. At 14 days old, little "Jackie” has become an abandoned child because of hardships his mother apparently believed she could not face unless relieved of the burden of a newborn babe. Probably in her heart the child was no burden to her. Certainly she must love him because if she didn't she wouldn't have taken the pains she did to see that he would fall into responsible hands. But it is pitiful that such an incident should occur to this infant. Now Jackie's future rests with persons who will be kind enough to provide for him. And there are many in this city who probably will rush at the opportunity. CALL OFF THE DOGS THE epidemic of dog biting has reached proportions far beyond the middle stage during the last few days. Dangers of dog bites threaten all of us but, because of their inability to cope with the situation and their natural tendency of friendliness toward animals, children have been the chief victims. Every dog owner in the city and county should concentrate on the health of his dog. Every owner should see that the dog is not permitted the run of the streets. Unless there is co-operation on the part of all individuals who own or harbor dogs, the situation in Indianapolis may become far more serious. POLITICAL POLLUTION PETTY squabbles and the fears that taxes will be increased are preventing the construction of a sewage disposal plant at Michigan City. And. in the meantime, a beautiful beach is going to rum and the lives of hundreds of persons are endangered. Those charges are contained in the second of a scries of water source poisoning stories which appears in The Times today. A referendum vote. The Times correspondent says, was so small that the final plan to obtain money for construction of the disposal plant in Michigan City was lost. That is an indictment not only against the politicians of Michigan City but also against the men and women who have the power to cast ballots but refuse to do so either because of indifference or seme minor personal feeling. Those things have happened in the pest. In the future Michigan City, and every other city in the state where there is danger of polluted water sources ravaging homes and businesses, must awaken. This condition must not be permitted to continue. Every one of The Times’ stories on polluted water conditions is a written plea for action. To ignore any one of them is openly to inrite dfctrucuon.

THE SPOILS SYSTEM I 1 T is a bit ironical that Harold Ickes, secretary of the interior, a Republican who has administered the PWA billions with a minimum of politics, should come under fire for haring issued an order that in land office advertising "Democratic papers shall be designated for all publications.” H:s explanation that the order involved a trivial amount of money and that ex-Secretary Fall had issued an order favoring Republican papers is even more out of tune. Certainly, the Roosevelt administration can not be charged with extreme partisanship in manning the new offices at its disposal. President Roosevelt’s slamming of the door in the fare of certain party ax-grinders, Secretary Morgenthau's order banning political activity in the treasury, the appointment of many competent officials regardless of politics, all go to show- a tendency to live up to the ideals of the merit system. On the other hand are tendencies equally disquieting. For instance: Official figures of the civil service commission show that in March, 1933, there were 110,000 federal employes outside the classified civil service; the number now is 199.000; Practically all the emergency services have been filled without benefit of the merit system; On July 12, 1933, the President 1 ' requested Postmaster-General Farley to prepare legislation placing first, second and third-class postmasters under civil service. On the day following adjournament of congress Mr. Farley told newsmen that this move had "died a natural death The National Civil Service Reform League charged that under former Chairman William F. Stevenson the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation's pay roll "become a dole to political henchmen who could not be ’taken care of’ in more discriminating bureaus.” The situation was improved under the new chairman, John H. Fahey, but an amendment by Senator Norris to make all H. O. L. C. appointments "solely on the basis of merit and efficiency” was defeated in the house. In 1924 Franklin Roosevelt wrote the National Civil Service Reform League: "I should like to see one of the great parties come forward with a challenge to the other party offering to enter into a compact to uphold and maintain the civil service.” Mr. Roosevelt, now President, is in excellent position to issue that challenge and get the proposed compact. PLENTY OF WHISKY, BUT—WHEN we advocate lower-priced legal liquor, we do not do so in the belief that cheap whisky is a boon to society. There is cheap w-hisky aplenty in this land of repeal, but it is the bootleggers who are selling it. You can get all of it you want, so we are told, any hour of the day, any day of the week. Six months have elapsed since the end of prohibition brought the promise of an end of those crimes that rested on the profits of bootlegging. We thought then, and still think, it was a mistake to increase the sl.lO a gallon federal tax, and that the $5 a gallon tariff should have been abolished, so that legal liquor dealers could obtain an adequate supply of mature liquor. Six months ago, United States treasury experts estimated that with a $2 a gallon tax, which was enacted, America would consume 105,000.000 gallons of liquor in a year. But treasury figures now reveal that actually taxed liquor is being consumed at the rate of only 34.000.000 gallons a year. In the face of these figures, liquor experts in the government and persons engaged in the legal liquor industry are led to conclude that for every gallon of legal liquor, two gallons of illegal and untaxed liquor are being consumed. Thus by our high tariffs and taxes —it should be remembered that state taxes have been piled on top the federal tax —we have made it easy for the bootlegger to undersell his law-abiding competitors. Even without any taxes, the legal liquor industry would have had a hard time competing with entrenched bootleggers. Bootleg syndicates had then, and still have, ample finances and supplies, dependable production, large and experienced sales organizations, and legions of habitual customers. Bootlegging was and still is a going concern. The infant legal industry has had to build from the ground while carrying the tax load. Since congress will not be in session again until January, this discussion at this time may seem academic. But these facts were known before congress adjourned. The last congress did not act because there was no strong public demand for action. And the next congress will not act unless public sentiment crystallizes. MEXICO'S NEW PRESIDENT MEXICO S new president, General Larzaro Cardenas, will take office under auspices more favorable than most of the republic's executives in the recent troubled years. He is only 39, a protege of the popular General Plutarco Calles, a Mexican of pure Indian stock and, judging from his overwhelming majority, a leader trusted by the masses. The new president will hold office for six years and. happily, he has a chart to guide his policies throughout his term. The Mexican government, under the retiring President Abelardo Rodriguez, has adopted a six-year-plan. This plan is something like our own New Deal, a declaration of principles rather than a detailed blue-print. It covers mining, oil. forest, hydro-electric and water uses; production control and consumer co-operatives; public works, revenues, defense; educational, moral and health reforms. It was drawn up by the national Revolutionary party under the supervision of General Calles. As we wish the new president success in carrying out the projected reforms south of the Rio we shall be struggling ourselves to evolve some sort of national plan. Both republics are aiming at a common goal, the freeing of the masses from want and insecurity through the orderly use of natural wealth. Here Senator Borah denounces the Democrats for fostering monopolies and the Republicans for not doing anything about it, and he's a monopoly all by himself. Dillinger is yellow, says a former convict, who knows him, and the bandit will surrender when surprised. But how to surprise him! A broker was not permitted to deduct a Monte Carlo gambling loss from his income tax report. He should have lost the money in Wall Street.

Liberal Viewpoint BY DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES

THERE is much bellyaching at present among the die-hards as to the cost of the New Deal. Great apprehension is expressed about such things as the $10,000,000,000 budget, the increase in the national debt and the like. This sort of talk goes on in spite of the fact that these New Deal expenditures are intended to save the country from collapse and its citizens from starvation and exposure—indeed, they absolutely are indispensable if we are to succeed m the.se desirable achievements. The recent discussion about war debts has suggested to me an interesting comparison of the relative nonchalance w-ith which we take the announcement that there is little prospect of our ever getting any more on account in connection with war debts and the vast concern which some of us show about the expenditure of a few- billions to save America. In the first place, we should be clear about the abysmal difference between the benefits to be expected from our war loans and from the expenditures in behalf of the New Deal. At best the war loans never could have brought any definite benefit to the United States. They were designed to finance the war activities of the allies which aimed to secure Alsace-Lorraine for France, the straits and adjacent territory for Russia and the German colonies, mercantile marine and navy for Great Britain. We stood to gain little or nothing from these war loans in the way of immediate benefit to the United States. We would have been far better off if w-e had kept out of the World w’ar and never allowed the American investment bankers to pass the buck of war credit to the back of of Uncle Sam. nan THEREFORE, any failure to receive complete payment of principal gjid interest from the debtor nations represents a stark loss to the American government and public. On the other hand, expenditures on behalf al the New Deal constitute the best possible investment which could be made by our government if one wishes to save the capitalistic system, representative government and democracy. The radical may think this all wasted money, but any one who believes in the profit system and democratic government logically must look upon the financing of the New Deal as the most promising expenditure of money conceivable at present. It is indispensable to the salvation of of the American system. The depression is more of a menace than the kaiser and his shock troops and submarines ever could have thought of being. The losses from war debts have every prospect of being greater in total in so far as the latter can be foreseen and estimated at present I than the cost of the New Deal. The total of war debts amounted to some $11,600,000,000. By 1923 the accumulated interest en these loans came to approximately $400,000.000, making a total of about $12,000,000,000. The money to finance these vast foreign loans was raised through the sale of federal bonds, most of which are still outstanding. Whether the foreign governments pay or not, Uncle Sam must raise the money to retire these bonds and pay off the Americans who have invested in them. a an WHEN we estimate the interest payments involved, it probably will cost the United states government around $25,000,000,000 to pay off these federal bonds. If the foreign governments default, then that is the burden which the American taxpayers will have to assume. There is every evidence that said taxpayer will have to undertake this additional burden. More than half of these war debts, indeed, became a total loss to the American government in the debt settlements of 1923-1926, in the course of which 51.2 per cent of the original debt total was cancelled by the United States. The_ present value of the funded debt is only $5,873,638,000 out of the original $12,000,000,000 total. It now seems quite apparent that the debtor nations have for the most part decided upon bald default. They showed no enthusiasm even for our recent proposal that they pay in kind. Hence, we lhay anticipate the loss of $20,000,000.000 on the war debt account. Yet there seems no hysteria in the country in the face of this prospect. If we can lose $20,000,000,000 quite cheerfully in the effort to help ruin Europe, there is no very good reason why we can not face cheerfully tlie prospect of spending $15,000,000,000 in the effort to save America.

Capital Capers

BY GEORGE ABELL

CONGRATULATORY July 4 cables from the different nations of the world have been pouring into the White House and the state department. Almost the only ruler who failed to send one is King George of England. But of all the missives the most curious is this one from Santiago, Chile: “President Roosevelt, "Washington: "Excellence hearty congratulations on your national birthday. Please present same to Julie Mayfield from devoted Chilean friend. (Signed) "AUGUSTO ERRAZURIZ.” When the wire was received, state department protocol experts wrinkled their brows. White House protocol experts puzzled. Newspaper correspondents were stumped. Who is Julie Mayfield? Who is Augusto Erraztiriz? What did the cablegram mean? Nobody has discovered yet who Julie Mayfield is, but a few facts have been gleaned about the sender of the message. Augusto Errazuriz is a wealthy importer of Santiago. He is socially prominent and has many American friends. About fifteen years ago he lived for a while in Washington. The Chilean embassy has been bombarded with queries about Errazuriz and the mysterious Julie. Diplomats could only shake their heads, shrug and reply: "It is very funny. I don’t know. I don't know.” Note—lt was reported today that Julie Mayfield Is the wife of an American naval officer formerly stationed as naval attache at Santiago, Chile. nan KING FUAD of Egypt sent a long flowery wire of congratulations and PresidentDictator Gomez of Venezuela who is not reputed a great admirer of independence, dispatched a flamboyant cable about "the day of glory of your friendly nation.” President-Dictator Trujillo of the' Dominican republic referred to "this glorious day of American liberty.” King Alexander of Yugoslavia addressed a brief, personal message to "The President of the republic.” The longest wire was sent by the affable Greek minister, Mr. Charalambos Simopoulos (who only had to pay the charges from his legation in Washington to the state department, to Secretary of State Hull. The shortest wire was sent by Don Miguel Cruehaga. who used to be Chilean ambassador here and is now minister of foreign relations. It read: "Accept, excellency, sincere congratulations.” President Masaryk of Czechoslovakia addressed his wire to "President of U. S. A.” Senator Huey Long has taken hold of the government of Louisiana, so the rest of the country will just have to wait until he gets around to it. Doctors are trying to discover what caused the death of 164-year-old Zaro Agha of Turkey. May we suggest old age? It’s the boy who takes the initiative in love affairs, says Professor Robert Wray of Pennsylvania State college. But let them just start, and the girls will take care of the rest,

The Message Center

(Times readers are invited to express their views in these columns. Make pour letters short, so oil can have a chance, limit them to 250 t cords or less.) a n n ASKS INFORMATION ABOUT RED FLAGS By Enid Fountain Just recently I began reading the letters in The Message Center. I was surprised to find the column of so much interest. Will some contributor who has the information please explain the significance of the red flag of the Socialist and Communist parties and the Salvation Army? a a a DECLARES MAJORITY DOESN’T THINK By A. B. C. Walter P. Chrysler said our country needs better trained leadership —“it needs men who know all about something and something about everything.” Knowing about something requires mental effort, which is taboo for a majority of the people. Only 5 per cent of our population has capacity for leadership, and of that group only 2 per cent really get anywhere. -Exposure to education in schools does not always mean inoculation. The subject may be immune although exposed. Independent thinking is a rare article. Propaganda of the silliest sort finds many followers, who pretend to be thinking people. We still are following the prosperity around the corner myth. Only real thinking can create prosperity. Thinkers in science—search for and discover the laws of the universe to apply their efforts in harmony with those laws. Disobedience to natural law, in any realm, means disorder and chaos;- that includes economics. u a tt ECONOMIC LIBERTY DEEMED VITAL By a Reader. Does political liberty mean that political gangs shall select the leadership of the ship of state? To whom do such leaders owe their allegiance? Is the gang influence greater or less than the people's interest. whose servants these leaders are supposed to be? Can a democracy be built on the spoils system? We celebrate the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence as the birthday of political liberty. Do we recognize the insidious enemies of political liberty? Liberty can only be maintained by eternal vigilance. Religious liberty to many means noninterference with pagan ceremony, but not the application of religious idealism to real life. That is only for the hereafter; a sort of fire insurance religion. Economic liberty is the inseparable part of the trinity of freedom. The nation can not endure half slave, insecure economically, while the other half lives in luxury, dominates, and crushes. Economic liberty is vital to sustain the other two. nan CONDEMNS DOUBTER OF DIVINITY By E. J. Hudson Please permit me space to wipe out and silence once and for all a menace to humanity. In answer to a letter by one Frank Cummings, we. the civilized citizens, would like to know just what species of humanity could authorize such a letter condemning Jesus Christ. ■Who, civilized, could say of the God, the Supreme Being, that formed him, that He was just as imaginary, as i>ur Santa Claus or

IN NEED OF REPAIRS

Change in Milk Setup Opposed

By Kaiph W. Foulton. Purporting to represent the producers of milk in the Indianapolis sales area, Carl L. Hedges, manager of the Indianapolis Dairymen's Co-operative, Inc., and William H. Settle, president of Indiana Farm Bureau, are in Washington asking that the price of Class 1 milk in this area be increased from $1.85 per 100 pounds to $2.25, according to last week's Marion county mail. At first glance such action would seem to the casual observer to be a highly beneficial one, but in the light of what has gone before, it is actually a move which stinks to high heaven throughout this entire milk-producing area. No doubt many consumers know that there is a milk license in effect in this area, a license which was supposed to be based upon fairness and equity. This license sets the price to farmers for the milk which is used as bottled milk for consumption in Marion county at $1.85 per 100 pounds of 4 per cent milk. For milk used to produce cream for bottling purposes the price is based upon the Chicago butter price plus a certain margin. Milk used for all other purposes is lumped into Class 111 at four times the Chicago butter price plus 10 per cent. If all the milk in this latter class was used for butter, such a price would be fair to the farmer. However, such is not the case. Indeed, a very small percentage is used for butter. The larger proportion of this Class 111 milk is used for condensed milk, powdered milk and ice cream—all products which net their processors a highly satisfactory return. If it were not so tragic, it would actually be laughable to cite some

our Uncle Sam, "who it is true doesn’t exist?” Even the heathen population of the mast remote parts of the earth, who haven’t heard that a Christ came to earth, bled and died on the cross for them, set up an image of wood, stone, or metal, and on bended knee, worship them. For in the human brain is the knowledge that somewhere, some time in ages past, there was something that had power to bring them into existence. And no doubt they also look and marvel at the universe, the plants, the flowers, and the blade of grass, how perfectly made they are. The hand of God is upon everything the eye beholds and that lives. ana BRANDS COMMUNISM AS CHRISTIANITY’S FOE By E. F. Maddox. Frank Cumming's letter is a good example of the workings of the Communist’s mind. His atheistic, anti-religious letter ought to awake some of our drowsy ministers to the fact that Communism is the deadly enemy of Christianity, ar.d that its pacifism and pretended love for Christ s teachings is nothing more or less than hypocritical propaganda. The reason Communists pretend to be religious is because they know from experience that the American people will not subscribe to atheistic doctrines. Mr. Cummings complains because the Bible is full of war and murder. But if he will investigate closely he will find that most of the war was waged against God’s enemies, of which he seems to be one. Here is a verse from the Bible which Communists those nations which have Communist

of the ludicrous situations which have arisen under licenses. For instance, a certain distributor in this area admits having made more than $2,000 from Class 111 milk simply by separating it and selling the sweet cream to otner markets at a price considerably above what he paid and at the same time he retained the skim milk for making cottage cheese and buttermilk. Now comes the proposed change in the price of Class I. Already this market is flooded with condensed milk made from the cheap milk purchased under the present classification and being sold at a price in very direct competition with whole milk. To raise the price of Class I milk would force the distributors to raise the retail price to the consumer which would encourage the consumer to buy the condensed product, decreasing the percentage of Class I milk and increasing the percentage of Class 111 or surplus in the market and thus actually reducing the blended price to the farmers instead of increasing it. How much better it would be to reclassify the market as proposed by the Independent Milk Producers’ Association, the Indianapolis Dairy Producers’ council, and a group of dairy producers who are members of the Indianapolis Dairymen’s Cooperative group. These groups propose that Class I and II prices shall remain as they now are but that a new class shall be inaugurated to take care of the higher priced dairy’ products such as ice cream, condensed, and powdered milk in a higher price bracket than the milk used for butter, which milk would remain in the lowest class in the market.

form of government might well consider: “If I whet my glittering sword and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.” Deut. 32-41. Another thing Communists will find out some day is that pacifistic propaganda has not had any great effect on the American people. To the Communist cry of “peace, peace,” the Bible says, "There is no peace for the wicked.” History and the Bible agree that God has prospered the people and nations who believe in Him and has destroyed those who denied Him, and I am fully persuaded that Russia is soon to feel the wrath of God for her terrible crimes against humanity and her denial of God’s existence. There is no use to argue or debate with an infidel in defense of the Bible, for the Bible can defend itself, and no unbeliever has ever proved that its prophecies are not true. The burden of proof rests with those who attack its authenticity. The Bible pronounces a curse and destruction on the enemies of God, and if the present Communistic government of Russia is destroyed we must accept that as proof of His power. a a a AMERICAN LEGIONS COURSE ASSAILED Br L. F. A. When the roll is called of all the near-sighted reactionaries of the twentieth century the leaders of the American Legion, Edward A. Hayes and Russell Cook, will be found heading the list. The leaders of the American Federation of Labor will be fighting for second place. .Why (to these supporters of indus-

trial anarchy fear to have anew social order discussed in our colleges? Would it not be better that the netv social order be discussed by students in the classrooms than by the politicians who are leading the two major parties? It is not hard to see why they denounce the churches that intend to start on the path to Christianity by refusing to sanction preparedness for the letting of blood. Capitalism in its prime becomes financial imperialism, and then in its dying struggles demands that it be supported by wars. But wars can not stop evolution. As the old order of capitalism is dying, the new order of Communism is being born. Does not this new’ order come close to fulfilling the theory, “Thou art thy brother's keeper”? The American Legion and other supporters of wars and capitalism can not stop the approach of Communism and Christianity. They will however, offer enough opposition so as to change the peaceful approach through evolution to that bloody approach of revolution. May the day be closer when the American Legion and the American Federation of Labor will be fighting for the advancement of Christniaity and mankind and not against it. ana CHARGES POLICE WITH BRUTALITY By Roy S. Osborn. Never have asked to have a letter put in your paper before, but would like to say a few- words about our brave police force. I w-as passing the jail on Alabama street about 2;30 Thursday afternoon and saw- two of our "prides,” big, husky men, who could pick up a man of at least 180 pounds like a chad in their arms and carry him, dragging some poor old fellow out of the jail and putting him in the patrol wagon. When they reached the wagon each took a shoulder and trouser leg and threw him up to the middle of the wagon. The thud of his head could be heard easily across the street. a a a ADVOCATES STUDY OF BIRTH CONTROL By Paul Wvaonif. Does any man and woman, in this time of acute economic stress, have the moral right to add to the burdens of already overburdened taxpayers? In plain words, does any man and woman have the moral right to multiply themselves when this multiplication will mean additional paupers? Let us give thought to birth control and perhaps we can come to an understanding of its need and virtue. I, for one, am in favor of regulation by state statute. What have you to suggest other than “the poor ye always have with you?”
