FRIDAY, AUG. 3. 1934. THE PRISON REPORT 'T'HE report of Wayne Coy. the Governor s secretary, on conditions at Michigan City prison is all right as far as It goes. The only ; trouble with it is that it fails to go far enough, j His remark that the administration of the | institution might be “more effective" is a mas.- j trrpiece of understatement. Beyond doubt his recommendation that a cherry tree in front of the cast wall should be removed is sound. But in view of the record of escapes at the prison during the last year. Mr. Coys report is strongly reminiscent of the famous occasion when the mountain labored mightily and brought forth a mouse. We doubt that the public will be satisfied, in view of the latest walk-away of five prisoners, with the discharge of a few understrappers from the prison service. That would be too much like painting a cancer with iodine and pretending it was cured. What is needed at Michigan City is a major operation. Mr. Coy’s report dwells at some length on structural changes necessary at the prison. The taxpayers must make up their minds to spend some money in this direction. But they should not be asked to do so until they have every assurance that the administration of the institution is sound. A whisky still was found operating in one of the dormitory elevator shafts. It is difficult for the public to understand how such a thing could have occurred without gross negligence or downright corruption. Structural faults were not responsible for that. After all. the officials of the prison may have had some hard luck in dealing with the inmates, but hard luck does not deprive a man of some sense of smell. And any bootlegger can vouch for the fact that a still has an extremely strong and characteristic odor. President Roosevelt has set a splendid example to other public sen ants by frankly admitting his mistakes. He realizes that attempts to gloss over errors simply magnify their importance in the public mind. Prison administration has been one of the mistakes of Governor McNutt's administration. The thing to do is to admit it and apply strong remedies. Indiana's penal problem is a nettle which the Governor must grasp firmly. If he toys with it he is going to get badly stung. JAPAN AND THE NAVY I.YPAN does not like Secretary Swanson’s ** proposal for naval reduction, according to the cables. That is surprising. For several reasons: 1. Premier Keisuke Okada himself has just been talking reduction. 2. A naval race is expensive business, for each and all. 3. Japan is less able, even that the United States and Great Britain, to afford mounting armament expenses. 4. Japan needs very much a friendly agreement with the United States and Great Britain, who seem to be standing fairly well together on this matter. So Japan’s reported policy, however illogical it may appear from the standpoint of world friendship, seems even more Illogical from the viewpoint of her own selfish interest. But the subject can not be dropped there, permitting our two nations to drift into disagreement. We Americans it to ourselves ! and to world peace to male every effort to understand Japan's feeling. If Japan can not accept our original pro- | posal for all-round one-third reduction, or the new Swanson figure of 20 per cent reduction, Tokio is free to make a counter-proposal. Os course nothing could be accomplished by ; repeating her 1932 Geneva proposal for cut- | ting our navy 34 per cent while she cuts only j 9 per cent; or the recent trial balloon for an j American cut of 44 per cent and Japafiese I of 9 per cent. Such jests only increase fric- j tion. The counter-offer should be serious enough to merit serious consideration by Washington. Apparently Japan's real purpose is to change the 3-5-3 ratio which she accepted with j Britain and America in the Washington treaty, j There is nothing sacred about that figure. ! Possibly some modification might be fair— J that is not a question on which the general American public would be apt to have an opinion: it is too technical. But the American public gives no sign of changing its opinion as to the purpose which fixed the 5-5-3 ratio m the first place. The | object was to prevent either Japan or the United States from having an offensive force against the other. And it is agreed rather generally by r.aval authorities that under the 5-5-3 ratio Japan, in her own waters and near her own bases, has been superior to any five-ratio foreign power. If Japan can show that, because of changing naval conditions, a modification of the 5-5-3 ratio is necessary ! to preserve the purely defense balance, then she deserves a fair hearing. Often it is suggested that the main difficulty is national pride. That was a foreign interpretation of Tokio's recent statement that Japan will demand “equality” but not “parity.” There must be something wrong with our diplomacy if we unwittingly have encouraged the Japanese to believe that a smaller naval ratio is a sign of national inferiority. We ought to be able to make them see that naval requirements are relative, and that what may be a small navy for one nation might be a very large navy for another nation. 1 Certainly Japan does not think that France | and Italy are inferior, or consider themselves , inferior, because they need and accept smaller , ratio* than Great Britain and the United States. So even the national pnde difficulty may be solved If both side* try hard enough. Socialists have voted to resist war to the end. so they can tell their grandchildren how they fought the wax to resist war.

THE SEAMEN’S NEW DEAL AN unusual election is being held on the Pacific coast. Government representatives are conducting a secret poll among thousands of licensed and unlicensed seafaring men in preparation for arbitrating their strike demands. For centuries the men who manned the merchant ships were forced to air their grievances singly. I if at all. and often the answer was a blow of the first—or belaying pin. Now they are being permitted to select their representatives, either unions or individuals, to sit at a tabic with the ship-owners’ spokesmen before a government umpire. Thus, the seaman is getting a taste of economic democracy. Just settlement of the longshoremen's and seaman's strike demands only can come through some such adjustment as the President’s mediators are trying to evolve. Permanent settlement of these and other grievances should be provided for in a code of statutory mechanism for adjustment, such as the railroads and other industries have set up. At the last session of congress the senate unanimously passed a resolution, introduced bv Senator Hiram Johnson of California, calling upon the administration to take steps toward creating a national maritime board. With such a board it is unlikely that the Pacific coast would have suffered this long and costly strike. Both England and Japan have had such boards for years. In America the double labor standard for land and sea has persisted too long. FASCIST IDEA OF PEACE THE mind of a devotee of dictatorship must work in an odd way. Sir Oswald Mosley, the Englishman who admires Mussolini so passionately that he wants to set up a black-shirt regime m England, found himself moved the other day to praise Fascism as a force making for peace. Discussing the recent turmoil in Germany and Austria, he asserted. “Fascism is the only thing which prevented Europe from being plunged into a w’ar like the one of twenty years ago.” This, to be sure, is one way of looking at it. Most of us. however, had supposed that it was just the other way around—that the danger of war in the last fortnight has been due largely to the high-handed and brutal things which the philosophy of Fascism makes men do. It will take better evidence than anything the trans-Atlantic cables have carried in the last month to persuade us that Fascism is a potent force for peace, MILITARY CENSORSHIP IT is a strange new- policy which that national guard officer has tried to promulgate in regard to freedom of the press in Minneapolis. After the national guard had been called out by Governor Floyd B. Olson to preserve the peace during a paralyzing strike, the adju-tant-general of the guard undertook to tell the city's editors how they should behave while under martial law. Among his instructions was the amazing order that to print anything “defaming the state of Minnesota or any member of the Minnesota national guard in the field ’ would be construed as a violation of his order, subjecting the offender to punishment. It is hard to imagine a clearer perversion of the constitutional guaranty of a free press. It is bad enough to have a military censorship restricting press freedom in time of actual war; but to have a tin-hatted militiaman undertake to strait-jacket the press when nothing more than a strike is going on is intolerably insolent and unwarranted. PEOPLE WON’T WAIT LONG after recovery from the depression has been completed, we probably shall be arguing earnestly about what caused the recovery. Was it due to this, that or the other specific measure adopted at Washington? Or did it come of itself, in spite of what Washmgton did? This argument has begun already. On one side you have the theory that our cyclical swing, from prosperity to depression and back again, has been increasing steadily in velocity for half a century, and that this last time it carried our economy down so far that our whole social organization would have collapsed if a remedy had not been applied. On the other, there is the belief that this depression differed little from its predecessors. and that recovery would have proceeded just as fast—if not. in fact, a little faster—if Washington had kept its hands off entirely. This latter viewpoint is expressed ably by Neil Carothers. director of the College of Business Administration at Lehigh university. Economists, says Professor Carothers, realize that the causes of a depression "spring from our system of capitalistic production, in which goods are made far in advance of the market by means of borrowed credit and invested funds. It seems to be established that depression comes when this credit-securities-investment system of production becomes overstimulated.” Now this, says Professor Carothers. is a system which inevitably rights itself. It never quite capsizes. Economists, he adds, "know that the only cure is that one remedy for all human ills—time.” * The chief trouble with this theory seems to be its belief that human affairs are carried on in a vacuum. When an economist talks of producers, consumers. investors, and so on, he is not speaking of units in an academic chess game; he is speaking of human beings who have a naive way of getting angTy when they lose their money and their jobs, and who will stand privation only about so long before they go out to burst something. A depression like the last one might right itself, if given plenty of time; but the people who are living through it are apt to tear the house down while they are waiting. Depending on time to effect a cure is like depending on time to relieve an attack of acute appendicitis: it may work—and. on the other hand, the patient may die. In a highly organized country like ours, which happens also to be a democracy, it is impossible to let nature take its course in an acute depression. The strain on the social fabric is too great. Ultimately, says a scientist, we'll lose the use of our fingers and thumbs. How terrible for the hiich-hik#*-. / v i

Liberal Viewpoint BY DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES IN SPITE of widespread efforts to adopt economic nationalism as a way out of the depression. the logic of the facts and events continues to force a recognition of the international character of the twentieth century economic order. War debts, international financial relationships, monetary controversies and imperialistic clashes, all illustrate this important fact of the international foundation of the modem age. Mr. Simpson has written a clear and informing book, designed to support the thesis that economic recovery can not be attained by any nation working alone, no matter how able its leaders or how sweeping its economic reforms. (Introduction to World Economics, by Kemper Simpson. Harper Publishers, $3.50.) He studies in detail the industries and banking system in the United States. Great Britain. France and Germany in order to uphold his contention. Though the United States will have to depend for the restoration of prosperity primarily upon increasing the purchasing pow’er of American consumers, certainly the modern world as a whole must co-operate intelligently in the economic and financial fields if it is to avert widespread disaster. One type of internationalism certainly has been condemned by the verdict of history, namely imperialism or the forceful subjection of backward peoples. Mr. Fox, an intelligent and competent Communist, subjects to brief but trenchant criticism the* evolution of British imperialism. i The Colonial Policy of British Imperialism, by Ralph Fox. International Publishers, 75 cents.) While a partisan analysis, it is an excellent antidote for the ultrapatriotic idealizations of British expansion by Ramsey Muis and others. n tt tt MOST realistic observers frankly admit that there are more potential danger spots and causes of war in Europe today than there were in 1914. Few wTiters are more competent to analyze the current European set-up than the brilliant young journalist, Mr. H. R. Knickerbocker. His book is a running commentary on the politics and war spirit to be found in the various European capitals. (The Boiling PGint. Will War Come in Europe? By B. R. Knickerbocker. Farrar & Rinehart; $2.) It is easily the "book of the month” for all realists concerned with foreign affairs. In a fundamental sense, life is primarily a thing of the mind. Consequently, no estimate of the new regime in Russia could be complete without an analysis from the point of view of mental hygiene. And certainly no psychiatrist could have been found more competent to investigate the Russia order than Dr. Frankwood Williams. He presents a graphic and extremely important summary of what has been achieved in Russia in eliminating worry over economic insecurity, working out a sane sex life, making proper provisions for the spirit of youth, removing the fear of the unknown and reconstructing the morale of the whole nation. (Russia, Youth and the Present Day World. By Frankwood E. Williams. M. D. Farrar & Rinehart; $2.50.) No book written on the new Russia gives one more insight into the spirit and achievements of the new regime. tt tt tt MAX EASTMAN, far more radical in his philosophy than Dr. Williams, presents, nevertheless, a much more unfavorable impression of one phase of Russian life, namely, the subordination of art and literature to Communist party propaganda under the regime of Stalin. <Artists in Uniform, by Max Eastman. Kmpf. $2.50.) Mr. Eastman's criticism is not directed against the general reaction of communism upon the arts, but against the operation of a particular type of Communism, namely the bureaucracy of Stalin, which Mr. Eastman, as a follower of Trotsky, cordially dislikes. Once upon a time the near east was the center of the most flourishing material civilization in the world. Today there is effort to rehabilitate this region in an economic sense. The nature and extent of what has been achieved is clearly and concisely summarized by Dr. Grunweld. (The Industrialization of the Near East, by Dr. Kurt Grunwald. The Palestine Economic Society.) One of the essential prerequisites of international understanding is a tolerant insight into the psychology of other peoples. The autobiography of Tan Shih-Hua ought to contribute notably to a better understanding of the Chinese mind by occidental observers. (A Chinese Testament. The Autobiography of Tan Shih-Hua, as Told to S. Tretiakov. Simon & Schuster, $3.) It is a frank and candid summary of the mental evolution and social experience of a typical Chinaman of our era. It may very well come to rank with Pearl Buck’s "The Good Earth,” as a contribution to Chinese psychology.

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL OFFICIAL Washington is getting an enormous chuckle from the bombastic and apparently serious postoffice department communique which the other day described Post-master-General Farley as “one of the greatest fishermen who ever visited Yellowstone national park.” "Attired in oilskins, the postmaster-general in short order caught ten black spotted native trout in Yellowstone lake, and would have been fishing yet but he had caught his limit under government park regulations." A ripple of laughter ran through official circles as this startling information was released. Expert fishermen who have sought the elusive "poisson” from Hudson Bay to Miami Beach snickered derisively. . • Well, if Jim Farley only caught ten trout m Yellowstone he ought "to be ashamed of himself, declared one Izaak Walton. "The trout are so thick in that lake a child could pull them out with an unbaited hook." "The trout in Yellowstone lake are packed more tightly than herring in a herring bottle,” added another enthusiast. Tales were related of tourists who gather beside a small boiling geyser at the edge of Yeliowstone lake and broil their fish while they still wriggle at the end of the line. "Did Jim Farley do that?” inquired a high government official. • The Bureau of Fisheries, discreetly refraining from any opinion in the debate, revealed that Yellowstone lake, largest lake in the United States at an altitude of 7.700 feet, is profusely stocked with native trout. tt B tt THE Chaco war between Bolivia and Paraguay goes on persistently despite proposed peace moves, resolutions and veiled threats of intervention from outside sources. In Washington, Bolivian Minister Finot and Paraguayan Minister Bordenave continue to play the chess game of diplomacy with absurd little skirmishes that serve only to emphasize the heat of a summer in the capital. A meeting of the governing board of the PanAmerican Union earlier this week found the Bolivian and Paraguayan envoys wondering whether to attend or not. Each minister realized that the meeting was called primarily to discuss a resolution requesting Latin-American governments to decide on a peace movement in the Chaco. Minister Bordenave of Paraguay—for some reason—did not attend. Minister Finot of Bolivia was present. The Bolivian expressed to the Pan American gathering the “sympathetic approval” of his country at the resolution. Somehow the Paraguayan learned of this. Before the meeting adjourned, he managed to send a message expressing the approval of Paraguay. also. Minister Finot claims a diplomatic victory. Minister Bordenave claims a diplomatic victory. Meanwhile, the Chaco war goes on and Bolivians and Paraguayans continue to be slaughtered. The disarmament conference is a failure, since some of the Nations would rather lock arms on the battlefield than block arms in the conference room.

J a a b EDINBURG RESIDENT PRAISES TOWN By Mrs. Nina Richards. In answer to Main Street Observer, I will say there must be something wrong with him or her. I have lived in Edinburg thirty-two years, have been a home owner some fifteen years and have seen very little in that time to kick about. I believe we have weathered the depression far better than some of the larger towns. Os course, Edinburg is a small town with small town ways, and we love those ways. We are proud of our school, our churches, our several factories and mills. Proud of our farmer friends, and their industry, and our corn belt which is known all over the

stale. We have the best drinking water to be had in the state; we have gas and electricity. We have very little real suffering among our poor in the winter. Most of them are cared for by their more fortunate neighbors, few having to apply to the trustee for help. Most of them receiving help from the trustee are sent by our neighbor state on the south. So, I am for dear old Edinburg, with its kind friends and beautiful homes. Os course, if Observer city ways best there are twenty-two trains out of town daily, several busses and good roads for hitchhiking. I w’ill stay where I can get credit from friends if I need it; where I j can afford to own a little home and ! have happiness, and may God protect us from grafters. tt b a DESCRIBES POLICE ACTION AT PARK MEETING By a Bystander. I was attracted Wednesday night by a small crowd that was gathering near the pavilion in Military park. I learned that it was a public meeting against war and Fascism called i under the auspices of the Communist party. The crowd was small — about 250 persons—men and women, Negroes and whites, and nearly all in working clothes. Little interest for me here. I thought, and was about to go on when an officer approached the first speaker on the platform and asked I for a permit. A young chap, self-evidently an ! American, replied to the officer to the effect that the Copimunist party j was not an illegal organization, that j its members had the right to free speech and assembly, that never before had a permit been necessary,! and that as American citizens they were going to exercise their rights. The officer left and the meeting proceeded. The first speaker was a | Negro. He spoke for about fifteen minutes. He had been in the war. So had I. He was thoroughly disillusioned and called upon his audi-! ence to fight against the next war which he said was impending. The next speaker was the same young man who had replied to the officer. He said he represented the Young communist League, an organization of young people who were unalterably opposed to war. The young, he said, were most easily! duped by war propaganda, by uniforms. and martiai music. A young Negro with an excellentj command of English took the platform. He represented the International Labor Defense he said, an organization composed of members of all races and nationalities. This organization, he said, would take up the legal fight in behalf of j eight arrested Indianapolis workers' who merely had made use of their

Charges Schools Waste Tax Money

By a Qualified Reader. After considerable research I wish to report on the school systems of Indianapolis and Marion county as a qualified taxpayer and school patron. I am now paying $21.40 an acre a year taxes on twenty-seven and one-third acres in Washington township, more than 100 per cent of my earnings. I find that the educational system is of lower efficiency and value than in the last thirty years; that 80 per cent of the taxpayers’ money spent on the schools is wasted; that only eight practical subjects are taught in the grade schools, reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling, physiology, geography, grammar and history, and that education is undermined by coaches, gyms, entertainments and athletics. There is a continual drain of money from the parents for lunch and refreshments. The children

constitutional rights of free speech and were pounced upon by Chief Morrissey’s police. Then the fireworks began. An officer waddled to the platform yelling, “That's enuf outa you; you can't talk about the police like that —come offa thera; you're under arrest.” The crowd became incensed. It was only the calmness of the young communist that prevented violence. I was dumbfounded. Certainly, I thought, the men would be released immediately. My aroused interest took me down to the police station later. The speakers were slated for vagrancy under $5,000 bond each. Later I learned the bond was reduced to SI,OOO and given. I was present when the men werfe released. One of the men cLaimed he had been beaten while in the Bertillon room. There was blood on his shirt and trousers; he limped, was ashen and had to be supported. Os a more unprovoked, ruthless curtailment of the right of free speech I never have heard. An aroused public opinion must stamp out this police terror, or our Constitution is in real danger of being overthrown—not by Reds and Communists, but by the police force. a B a STATE CONSTITUTION DECLARED VIOLATED By Will H. Craig. We hear a lot about the “denting” of the Constitution by the NewDeal administration, and while I do not approve of much of the NewDeal, yet those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Since 1868 the legislature of Indiana has been violating the state Constitution by appropriating state money for the higher state schools. The Constitution of 1916 did provide for a state university at Bloomington, and county academies, but the Constittuion of 1851, on a resolution offered by Thomas A. Hendricks and adopted unanimously, abolished the university and the county academies and the Constitution provides for a "uniform system of common schools, wherein tuition shall be for and equally open to all.” If I. U. was authorized by the Constitution, why did it wait seventeen years before asking aid? In 1868 it was given $486,000 a year, and was sponsored by the state board of education, a grandchild of the Constitution. What right has the legislature or state board of education to violate the Constitution and impose on the taxpayers? And if the state schools are legal how can they charge tuition and fees contrary to the Constitution?

often go hungry because instead of patronizing the school cases the children drop the money into vending machines. The children pay 5 cents for one-half pint of milk, w-hich is at the rate of 80 cents a gallon. The milk producer receives 6 to 8 cents a gallon. Permit me to suggest that W'e discontinue the services of doctors, dentists, nurses, special writing teachers and all instructors in nonessential courses. While taxpayers are paying county agents and assistants in seventy-eight of the ninety-two state counties to instruct us in production of better crops and live stock the government is asking us to produce less. These activities may receive a high academic rating, but from a practical standpoint the rating is minus. In the educational affairs of our state, county and city brains and brawn should be equally represented.

It is just as reasonable for high schools to charge fees and tuition. Purdue was established in 1870 as an agricultural college. But like other octopi, she is ambitious to spread out; teach everything under the sun, from setting a hen to building a boiler. The taxpayers are bled illegally to keep up these wasteful institutions. It is not the duty of government to educate lawyers, doctors, dentists, nurses, plumbers and scientists. Its duty ends when all the children of the state have a good common school education. Why all these expensive state schools when there are enough nonstate schools J to do all the higher special training without costing the taxpayers a dollar? It is about like a city or tow-nship building a high school when some j philanthropist already had erected ! the bulding and supplied the teach- i ers. Again, why should the national government, through the federal emergency relief administration, provide money to help students at Purdue and I. U. and not those in nonstate colleges? Spoils and graft control our educational system as j well as other units of government. tt tt a AGED MAN DESCRIBES INSURANCE PLIGHT By a Reader. I am disclosing a condition that I illustrates my own plight and probably that of many others in losing one’s life insurance at the age of 77. I took a straight life insurance 1 policy in one of the old com- i panies, rated at the time as one of the strongest in the coun- ; try. I carried that several years. The company merged with a large | western coqipany. I kept on paying j twelve years; then, at 59. I was in-1 duced by an agent for another company to take out a policy that would ; be paid up at the age of 70, which proved to be all right. Now, when I found at the age of: 59 I could get that kind of policy, j I asked the other company io j change the policy I had with it to j one like I had taken with the other, I that would be paid up at the age of 70. It was changed for a considerable advance in premium. I reached the age of 70 and then received the shock of getting notice of premium due the same as ever, j I. of course, thoueht there was a mistake and took the policy to the other company that wrote the term insurance and was informed that I would have to pay the premium as j long as I lived. Then, to make matters w-orse, the company has been reorganized and 1‘ have to pay 5 per cent interest orv

AUG. 3, 1934

50 per cent of the policy's cash value, and yet the company will not or can not pay me any cash value. Now, at the ace of 77, I did make the last quarterly payment, but the next one, due this month, will, as far as I can see now, have to go unpaid and the policy will be forfeited. it tt tt KINGAN SI IT NEWS WINS APPROVAL By Union Man. Thanks for the story about Tom Smith’s suit against Kingan & Cos. Look as I would in the other newspapers, which apparently are given over entirely to the interests of the employers, I could find nothing about the suit. Perhaps they didn't think it was news, eh? We of union labor shall be looking forward W'ith a great deal of interest to see what happens in this suit. We hope Mr. Smith will win, of course. If he does, a great blow will have been struck for the unions. Don’t be Scared by the Tory tactics of your more conservative contemporaries.. Keep up the good work. it a tt HINDENBURG CLASSED WITH TRULY GREAT By Ex-German Veteran. The high tributes paid to his excellency, Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg, field marshal of the imperial German armies and, later, president of the ill-starred German republic, have not been too high. A common soldier in that greatest of all war machines, the Prussianized German army of the early portion of the World war, I must pay tribute to him, though I have learned to hate the imperial system to which he was so loyal. The field marshal was a great soldier and a great man. May his soul rest with the souls of the other great German soldiers who have gone before him. And, may someone like him rise again in Germany to lift it from the rule of an outsider and a maniac. a tt tt HE W ANTS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT DILLINGER Bv C. W. I have the idea that the Dilhnger series which is being printed in The Times is a bit short of the pre-run advertising which it was given. Most of us will admit that Dillinger is dead. Most of us will admit that he was a “master mind” as far as crime went and most of us will admit that he went the way of all flesh. But, before you finish that series, let’s have some of the real “inside” on how the federal men caught up with him. We’ve read all about Matt Leach’s ability, now let’s hear about the men who really finished the job.
