MONDAY. SEPT 24 1934 HAND-TO-MOl TH RELIEF 'I ''HE mayor’s relief program, as outlined to President Roosevelt in Hyde Park, should help clarify this whole problem so that America can meet it with rcal. m instead of wishful thinking. The jobless will be with us in large numbers during the approaching winter and for several winters to come. By February, it is estimated, the public will have at least 20,000.000 mouths to feed. This huge burden can be met decently only if its costs are distributed Justly. The executive committee of the United States conference of mayors thinks the cities and states should care for the unemployable Jobless except veterans. The great body ot able-to-w< rk unemployed should be a burden chiefly upon the federal government. This, in general, seems to be a fair division. At least we appear to have accepted it after three years of floundering. But such a partnership can r.ot work unless the localicities and the government cooperate to the limit. Many states now are not shouldering their share of the hunger load. Recently the government has been footing the whole relief bill for Louisiana, Arkansas and South Carolina, and the bulk of it for fifteen other states. On the other hand, certain cities and counties of Connecticut, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Ohio and Vermont have been bearing the entire burden of relief. Federal Relief Administrator Hopkins says the states must raise $100,000,000 more in the next six months than they are raising now. Oiherw; e his funds will not. last until April 1. He is convinced that many cities, counties and states “are putting up less money than they should." In spending these localities also should plug up the leaks of politics, graft and Inefficiency. The localities must raise more money and spend it more wisely. But the federal government owes it to the localities to declare a national relief policy pending adoption of a long-range security program. Last winter the government rushed in at the last moment and set up its hit-or-miss CWA. Localities, now fixing their budgets, have a right to know how and to what extent the federal government proposes to meet this winter’s heavy load. There has been too much hand-to-mouth relief. LEGALIZED LOTTERY YORK CITY’S effort to finance at " least part of her unemployment relief burden by means of a gigantic lottery simply j emphasizes the v.ay in which the pressure ot I this relief problem can cut across all lines of ordinary governmental procedure. The lottery is a game of chance which has been held illegal throughout the United States for several decades. Federal autlioritcs do not allow data on lotteries to be sent through the mails; city police spend a good deal of their time trying to squelch the infinite variety of ‘•policy’’ and ‘■numbers" games which flourish everywhere. Ail this is because the people of the country generally have come to xealize that a lottery ; costs more than it is worth. It encourages the gambling habit, and creates a steady drain on the resources of people whose means are limited; furthermore, it is not even, uniformly, a good thing for the lucky winners. And yet this device, condemned by public sentiment for years, is now about to be adopted by the largest city in the country. For New York faces no ordinary crisis. Fully one-fourth of all the city’s inhabitants are on city, state, or federal relief rolls. The city needs $50,000,000 a year to take care ol them. Relief funds are gone. Right now the city Is taking money ear-marked for other purposes to feed the hungry. Pressure of that kind can crumple almost any opposition, can overwhelm almost any prejudice or habit of mind. For the problem is one that can not be dodged. The jobless must be cared tor; if you doubt It. ponder for a moment over the things that could happen in a city like New York if more than a million people, unemployed and flat broke, were suddenly told to shift for themselves. And the whole business is a warning for the rest of the country—one of those fire-bells in the night that Thomas Jefferson used to talk about. The unemployment problem has the bit in Its teeth, and it may yet run away with us. We must get the jobless back to work. Let the problem continue to develop, and we shall have a social tension which could drive us in directions that seem utterly impossible today. THE NEW DEAL IN COURT FEDERAL Judges have Just ruled the public works legislation and the Frazier-Lemke farm bankruptcy bill unconstitutional, and a third federal court has been asked to invalidate the powers of the National Labor Relations Board to order employe elections. The administration is not alarmed at this legal barrage on the New DeaL Several score of these suits have not yet made an appreciable dent in its program. The suit field m Richmond.

This was an emergency act. and the supreme court lias upheld emergency laws of drastic nature. A* Senator Wagner has repeatedly said, this legislation is primarily a safeguard of workers' freedom to select their own repremmaUves. The whole Constitution is based

on a similar guarantee of political democ- | racy. In Maryland, which rejected the Four--1 teenth amendment, a federal district Judge 1 ruled that the Frazier-Lemke bill violates the sos law” guarantee which* that ! amendment put into the Constitution. The | tv. "* Involves a farmers attempt to prevent foreclosin'! It Is expected to reach the su- | prone court. Jud.e C.. ut here—as other federal judgf s have done oelore him—ruled under the "due pro ■ - ■>” clause that the federal government can not Infringe a property con- | tract. In 1 M mortgage moratorium decision, the supreme court upheld the state law in the face of the Fifth amendmc.’ -. similar prohibition against state action abridging contracts. The Fiv.z, r-Lernke act goes further than the It provides, under safegu . Is to the creditor, for the farmer in distr to hold his property for five years, paying rent. It allow-, a six-months "breathing-spell" before pa yin nts start. But Judge Chesnut apparently overlooked nother federal power—one congress has had su.ee the Constitution was adopted. This is full and complete power to make bankruptcy laws. The Frazier-Lemke act applies only to farmers adjudged insolvent. The caue has wide social implication. It is on important test of the power of federal juoges to nullify frderal laws, which has b n mounting steadily since that little-de-but* and “due process’’ clause was put into the C'j. : . ution. not by the founding fathers, put ny the ir rtlwm reconstructionists in 1868. In a tl:lli rent category is the ruling oy Federal Judge Reeves at Kansas City, holding ti. h rera! public works money can not to cities or states, because th< government has no jurisdiction ova r purely interstate business such as the electric plant involved. This is indeed novel law. In the first place, no ’regulation’’ or "jurisdiction’’ is involved in a PWA loan. The city of Concordia in this case mint operate its electric plant under the laws of Kansas. Ccngre in enacting the National Industri . r A with its public works prov.sion was acting for the nation, and a cont t ral 1 nds can not cross state iii: lor the relief of a city's jobless workers must f :1 of its own weight. PWA officials props, iy express "little concern’’ over this decision. WHAT DO THEY FACE? IT is probably a sign of returning prosperity that college and university enrollments have r... n this fall. For the first time since the academic yur 1029-30, there are more young 1- op! m higher institutions of learning than there were in the preceding fall. Increase in the number of students whose exp uses are being paid by their parents is an obvious reflection of better times. Increase in the number of students who are working their way through college must, similarly, indicate that jobs are more plentiful. But the whole picture sets one wondering. What sort of world will face these youngsters when they are graduated? Will it be a world ready to use their youth and enthusiasm and training—a world ready, in other words, to put them to work? Or will it be the kind of a world young graduati s have faced in the last few years—one in which all kinds of labor, intellectual or manual, are a drug on the market? REAL HOPE HERE JOHN R. WALLER, deputy federal housing administrator, says that the United States is about to embark on one of the greatest building programs in its history. Within two months, he says, the housing administration will announce a refinancing program for small home owners “reaching into the largest city and the smallest village.” Th re is a shortage of nearly 1.500,000 homes; 16.000.000 hou.ses are in need of repair, 3,000,000 of them seriously so. All this outlines a most attractive picture. There are few industries whose revival would help the business and industrial setup as a whole quite as much as the building industry. Let’s hope that Mr. Waller’s forecast is made good. A GLEAM OF LIGHT THE new American trade agreement with Cuba apparently is working even better than expected. The first treaty to be negotiated under the administration's reciprocal tariff law went into effect Sept. 3. Now the state department announces that during the first six actual work- „ ing days of the month 18,797 tons of American products arrived in Havana. This tonnage, carried in twenty-four American-owned ships, is reported by the department as one of the highest on record and “due almost entirely to the favorable tariff changes on American products included in the reciprocal trade agreement." Those ti.ures did not include large stocks of our merchandise in Cuban warehouses ready for entry on Sept. 3. They covered only forty-five of the 468 items on which the Cubans gave us trade concessions. Cubans estimate that 4.000,000 pounds of American lard will be imported this month, compared with total lard imports for 1933 of only 9.873.000 pounds. Here is a gleam of light in what has been a dark vista. Our great export trade of $5,090.00.000 lour years ago nc# has dwindled, partly because of the world tariff war provoked by us, to $1500.000.000. Perhaps now tiirou h the tedious method of separate reciprocal trade agreements we may win back some of i iiis 1 -t wealth for cur business men, farmers and labor. Locks like Franklin Roudybush's Washington school for wouid-be public servants will have to add a course in mattress making. If consternation continues as to the safety of private Jewels, there is only one thing to do. Wrap them In cellophane where no one car get at them.

Liberal Viewpoint BY DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES

WITH the opening of the schools and colleges comes the returning activity of the R. O. T. C.—the dusting off of uniforms, the polishing of buttons and buckles, the induction of thousands of young civilians, more or less reluctant, into the ranks, and their introduction to that branch of liberal culture known as military science and tactics. “Comes also the annual protest on the part of some of the boldest against this form of peace-time concription, with inarticulate and grumbling acquiesence on the part of others, and much discussion in the liberal and religious press of liberty of conscience and the right of conscientious objectors to prepare themselves for the vocations of peace without simultaneously lending themselves to the pieparation of war.’’ The Christian Century thus leads off an excellent editorial article on the “R. O. T. C An We also are favored with an excellent study of the R. O. T. C. by Professor Willard L. Nash of Columbia university. New trouble at Ohio State university, long a center of dispute over this matter gives the subject more than seasonal interest. The advocates of the R. O. T. C. allege in its defense that the nation must be ready for war; that a large potential citizen army is better than a standing army; and that the best way in which to prepare for this large citizen army is to train officers in advance of hostilities. tt tt tt THE first of these contentions is largely a matter of opinion. The second is the subject of a warm debate even among military authorities. The third seems to be refuted by experience and even by our war department. The experience of the World war amply proved that under present conditions warfare changes so rapidly in nature that those who are trained in terms of existing military technique are quite unfitted to deal with new methods of warfare. This is likely to be even more true in the case of the next war, which, in all probability, will be primarily an air and chemical war. Moreover, the R. O, T. C. does not offer adequate training for officers even in terms of existing military methods. The secretary of war himself said in his annual report for 1931 that students who take the R. O. T. C. course for four years receive only the equivalent of four months of continuous instruction and require much further training in order to “fit them for performance of duties.’’ The advocates of military training in colleges do not, however, rest their case entirely upon the military arguments. They hold that the R. O. T. C. has marked advantages in physical training, training for leadership, discipline, and education for citizenship. It is not difficult to refute these contentions. Our colleges have well equipped gymnasiums. Properly differentiated classes under skillful physical directors can produce infinitely more satisfactory physical training than military drill. a a b MILITARY training may fit one for military leadership, but military leadership is something quite different from leadership in a democratic society. It is based upon “the habit of obedience to superiors and the demand of strict obedience from inferiors.” This might be highly suitable to a Fascist society, but it is certainly highly inappropriate to one where liberalism and democracy still have a dominant place. Likewise, with discipline, military discipline is officially defined as "the qualty possessed by efficient soldiers which causes each to appreciate and accept without question the powers and limitations of his rank and makes obedience to lawful superiors a second nature.” A favorite manual of military training defines it as “the habit of instantaneous and instinctive obedience under any and all circumstances.” This stands in direct opposition to the exhortation of President Roosevelt when he spoke to the youth of the land as follows: “I hope that a great many have been trained to pursue truths relentlessly and to look at them courageously . . . The country needs, and unless I mistake its needs, the country demands, bold, persistent experimentation.” How well the R. O. T. C. trains for citizenship in a democracy can be discerned by turning to the “Manual on Citizenship” used for instruction, which literally denounces democracy as a breeder of “demagogism, license, agitation discontent and anarchy.” It certainly attacks by implication everything embodied in President Roosevelt's New Deal, and denounces bitterly and directly the enlightened spirit of internationalism, such as is expounded for example by Cordell Hull, secretary of state.

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL

THE diplomatic corps did very well at the game the other day. It scored a total of ninety-nine Ambassadors and Ministers out of a hundred and completely defeated (so far as top hats and field glasses were concerned) both the Mexican and United States army teams. "Picture! Picture!” clamored photographers, as dignified Dr. Don Fernando Roa, ambassador of Mexico, hove into view, wearing a jaunty silk hat. But they really wanted to take snaps of His Excellency's charming nieces, Senoritas Dolores and Sara Amalia Chico Alatorre. Spanish Ambassador Calderon appeared surrounded by his staff. Duke Olivares was so enthused by the game that he went back to the embassy and uncorked a bottle of his family wine, "Marquez de Murrieta.” Young Ramon Padilla, Spanish secretary, was betting on the United States team. In fact, all the Spaniards were convinced the “gringos” would win. u a THE lovely, dark haired, brilliant-eyed Mme. Urquiza, wife of the etiquet expert of the Argentine embassy, sat as a guest of honor in the Mexican ambassador’s box. Miss Patricia Mencia, a very attractive Cuban girl, was rooting for the Mexicans and proudly displayed the Mexican eagle on her cerulean blue dress. • "Magnifico! Magnifico!” resounded frequently from the Mexican boxes as the Americans made some particularly good point. The Mexicans showed a lot of sporting spirit. All the Poles in the world seemed to be present. The son of the President of Poland, Monsieur Joseph Moscicki (Joe, for short) and his blondhaired and very attractive wife (more good-looking women in a crowd one seldom sees), arrivpd with the Vice-Minister of Communications for Air of Poland and Mme. Bobkowska. a a a SENOR EDUARDO VIVOT'S hair has turned pink—the result of a hair tonic. It reminded one of the pink whiskers of Senator Ham Lewis, as the gallant Eduardo, clad in a beige sports suit, watched the polo game. With him was the vivacious Natalie Pritchett, a symphony of autumn brown. A surprise to many was the presence of the former Peggy’ Mann, now Mrs. Churchill Owen, who does not often visit Washington. She came with her mother. Mrs. Issac T. Mann, who once lived in Sixteenth street’s turreted yellow cha-teau-later. among other things the Persian legation. The American Minister to Santo Domingo, Mr. Arthur Schoenfeld, swaggered in without (to tne amazement of many) his umbrella. It didn't rain, but Envoy Schoenfeld, very’ British, always carries his umbrella. He had with him a gentleman who wore bright yellow chamois gloves and negligently swung a walking stick--a circumstance which slightly altered the omission of the umbrella. Prince deLigne, counselor of the Belgian embassy, stroked his mustache and commented in French on the polo. He was not impressed.

Orrie J. Simmons has taken upon himself the job of defending the Communists’ right to agitate workers to the point of rioting and murder, rebellion and civil war; and as Communist agitation is directly responsible for the recent looting of stores and general anarchy in the eastern strike zone, this implies that Mr. Simmons condones such activities. If Communists were law-abiding citizens this would sound reasonable, but as the Communist party has declared war on all capitalist governments, including the United States; to uphold and defend its right to carry on its dangerous actities is giving aid and comfort to our most deadly enemies. Until Mr. Simmons is better acquainted with the aims and purposes of Communism he had better refrain from criticising Governors and other responsible men who have the intelligence to see the danger ahead and are patriotic enough to take proper action against the nation’s enemies. There is entirely too many persons claiming to be Democrats, or Republicans, who are willing to fight to the death to help the Communists and Socialists overthrow the American system of government. Therein lies the danger to American institutions. Until we get rid of this infantile notion that every radical idea and doctrine must have free right to contaminate the minds of our children and the more susceptible and simple-minded adults we are likely to have much unnecessary bloodshed and turmoil. The real statesman, the wise editor, the genuine American patriot, whatever his station in life, is not going to waste any sympathy on the enemies of our established institutions, or republican form of government and our whole American way of living. If the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and press to every treasonable organization in this country we will be living under the red flag of Socialism in less than ten years. a a a VETERAN OPPOSED TO ROBINSON Bt Bob C.

Compiler Describes Analytical Bible

By G. R. Kaye, Director. Student’s Bible Institute. There has come to my notice a statement by Herbert R. Achley in The Times of Sept. 10. He w’ants to know “What authority any one has for changing the Bible,” and declares that the New Analytical Bible states that the Bible contains thousands of mistakes. As I am the author-com-piler of the New Analytical Bible I should know something about this. Mr. Achley’s statement, “Our ministers can never believe that God’s word is full of mistakes,” might create the impression with some w’ho are not acquainted with the analytical Bible, that it takes this position. He says the Bible he now has is good enough for him. Which version of the Bible does he refer to? There have been several of the English Bible — Wycliffe’s, Tyndale’s, Coverdale’s, Matthew's’, the Great Bible, Geneva Bible, Bishop's Bible, Authorized Version and Revised Version. Mr. Achley writes as if one of these Bibles, presumably the Authorized Version, was the original Bible, that Moses, Isaiah, Paul and the others wrote the Bible in the English language. It does not seem to have occurred to him that these versions are but translations of the original Hebrew and Greek Scriptures; that these translations do contain mistakes; that many English words of that earlier day have become obsolete, and that we are in possession of manuscript copies of the Bible not known when the tration just as long as it follows in the footsteps of the old order or 60 per cent profit to larger corporations and greater monopolies to make more millionaires. NRA (nuts running America) has added little to employment, much to the costs and greatly to the discontent of the forgotten man who in this New Deal was supposed to relieve. The greatest help was tp the PFP (political plum pickers). If we say we are broke we are socialistic, or cry we are hungry, communistic. If we squawk too loudly w ? e are shot, beaten, jailed, and told we do not appreciate what this God-sent administration is doing for us. I say again, down with the old order. Vote for those who do a little for us. Minor acts are far greater to me than enormous promises. Why can’t we draft a mayor like Sullivan to retain his office? a a b WE RE CHIDED ABOUT HUGH JOHNSON By Walt Smith. Tsh Tsh! Talcott Powell! That you, who rise from your virtuous couch each morning and blow a kiss eastward toward the “best President or the last,” should be guilty of lese majeste. That you should “crack down” about the ears of the dyspeptic dispositioned. tough spitting and loudspeaking “Top Sarg” Johnson, just goes to show that you are going soft; that you can’t take it. Why, man, when you take a crack like that at the President's right bower you become a slinking, cowardly Tory, and up to now you have swallowed the castor oily New Deal with a smile, and looked as if you liked it. Time was, a few years back, when The Times was an independent, fearless and hard-hitting paper that

1 wholly disapprove of ivhat you say and will defend to the death your right to say it. — Voltaire.

Authorized Version was brought forth. I wonder if Mr. Achley knows that we have no original documents of the Bible; that they have been lost for centuries. Does he have the slightest Idea how the Bible has come down to usi? We are perfectly safe in assuming that he is wholly ignorant of these things. The Revised Version, now so widely used, which is our best translation as far as accuracy is concerned, corrects a great many mistaken translations of the Authorized Version. Does Mr. Achley, whose name Is not in the Indianapolis directory, understand that the Revised Version has changed the word of God, or has more accurately given what is the word of God? Does he really know what is meant by the word of God? The New’ Analytical Bible has in the text of the Authorized, i. e., King James Version, more than 5,500 bracketed words which correct that version, or state the original more adequately. These bracketed readings are the renderings of the Revised Version. I W’ould advise Mr. Achley that before holding himself up for ridicule he spend a little time ascertaining just what is the word of God, what is a translation of the Bible, and how translations contain many errors for which the word of God is not responsible and that the Bible he is using is one of those translations, a fact with which mar.y young boys in Sunday school are familiar. "he we d to the line, let the chips fall where they may,” with the ax always sharp, so there was no need to take the position of having "an ax to grind.” And did the people of Indiana like it? You ask ’em! You probably will receive a letter from Robbie Bailing you nasty names and as your editorial was "asking for it,” a slap on the wrist will be just what is coming to you. a a a DRIVEN TO POETRY BY POLITICS By Esaw Xhornbrook.

Kingfish Long's recent probe of vice and corruption in New Orleans was Inteerstlng as a political maneuver, but it hardly provided any unusual revelation of police methods. The uninitiated may have been shocked to learn of petty graft in connection with saloons and vice dens, but the worthy citizens of New Orleans may console their outraged conscience with the knowledge that these conditions are comparable to those existing in almost every city. Prostitution, for instance, is an established business in every average community, which the police could hardly destroy, even if they wanted to. The best they can do is to maintain a semblance of order. The result is that the disorde^v

_SEPT. 24, 1934

district in New Orleans operates in a highly competitive manner; the policemen get their hush money and every one is satisfied, save the diehards who have no conception of the problems of a police department. We hardly can infer that were Long to run New Orleans, this setup would radically be changed. His conduct does’ not indicate that he is any zealot for purity He actually has revealed nothing but everyday occurrences in city government, realizing that this step might inflame righteous passions in the breasts of those who had been ignorant of it all. This is not to condone such conditions. That they are a blight on society needs no elucidation. The poins is that they are not peculiar to any one city, but are accepted everywhere as necessary adjuncts to a political government. Am I right? DECLARES RETAILERS PROFIT GREATLY.
