SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 3 1934

THE AUTOMOBILE CODE TJ' XTENSION of the automobile code without change for ninety days is described in some quarters as a major rebuff to labor. It is true labor did not obtain the public hearing or changes it desired. But. under the very difficult situation which exists. labor fared rather well at the hands of the Preisdent. The President in extending the code last night announced that he is instituting "a study which may contribute toward improvement* in stabilizing employment in the industry and reducing further! the efforts of the seasonal factors.” Those seasonal factors are the rub of the automobile problem. A wage of $lO a day is a starvation wage if the man gets only sixty-five days’ work in a year. Some of the data presented to the President tends to show that earnings of automotive employes average less than S9OO a year. Therefore in starting an investigation immediately for stabilization of employment and later code changes, the President intends to achieve what labor expected from public hearings. which still will be held if necessary. If the President had intended his executive order as a rebuff to labor, as impatient critics contend, he would not have said: “I have not asked the manufacturers to agree that such an inquiry should be made. I have though it better to bring the inquiry about unde* my executive powers.” Whatever may be the complaints of labor regarding conditions in the industry,*the bipartisan automobile labor board on the whole seems to be stopping discrimination against union organization under the law'. One source of weakness is that the labor groups fight among themselves, making the problem of representation and collective bargaining especially difficult. Given a good year in the industry, which is foreshadowed in part at least by the Ford announcement of a one million car production schedule, labor can look hopefully toward the results of the Roosevelt stabilization policy. LOW COST HOUSING EVERY ONE seems agreed that, regardless of whatever other -teps are required for economic recovery, large-scale housing construction by both the government and private industry is imperative. Recognizing that prevalent high interest rates and charges on mortgages stand in the way of an adequate building program. President Roosevelt twice in the last two days has urged the need of cheaper money. He instructed Federal Housing Administrator Moffett to fix 5 per cent as the “basic maximum” charged on loans Insured by the housing administration. In some communities 8 and 10 per cent are prevailing rates. We hope the President is successful in educating the public that 5 per cent is enough to pay on well secured and insured motrgages. Chief among the evils which the FHA plans to eliminate are exorbitant second mortgage costs, and short-term mortgages with high rates and renewal charges. Great Britain now is enjoying a building construction boom largely because British financiers decided that 4 per cent is a good return. Before the housing program progresses far, it may be necessary .o examine other factors in building costs —materials and labor. Manufacturers of building materials may have to weigh the advantages of lower profits for each unit and larger turnover against present profits for each unit and the present small sales total. Building trades workers, also, may have to consider the advantage of a temporary lower wage for each hour to gam many hours more employment on low-cost workers’ houses The workers want and need higher annual incomes. That, too. is the way to larger buying power. FOR REDDER BLOOD THE hundreds of lives saved from anemia during the last eight years by their liver diet discovery had already crowned the research accomplishments of Dr. George H. Whipple of Rochester, N. Y.. and Drs. George R. Minot and William P. Murphy of Boston. And now- the Nobel prize in medicine for this year signalizes this medical conquest as one of the world's greatest. The medical achievement makes blood redder, in a figurative as well as a literal sense. Liver or extracts from it start good red blood cells growing in a dying body. Those of us who are well are given new courage that other “uncontrollable” diseases will be stemmed in their human toll taking. Dr. Whipple's laboratory experiments began the conquest applied to human patients by Drs. Minot and Murphy. In a statement to Science Service, he predicts that pure science investigations will enable the physician to bnng under control still other diseases. No bit of accurate knowledge about the action of the body is useless. Dr. Whipple observes that “progress is often made by way of detours which look very unfavorable at first.” STOP, LOOK. LISTEN THE vision of streamlined trains rounding the curves at ninety miles an hour, inaugurating anew era m railroading, focuses attention on the possibilities of providing employment and stimulating industries by elimination of grade crossings. “I doubt whether any projects would produce more general benefits, considering the relief of unemployment, aid to the capitalgoods industries, protection of the public safety, and improvement of transportation condition#” says Railroad Co-ordinator Eastman. In the next few years, it is generally agreed, the government will have to spend

many billions of dollars on public works to provide job*. Surely part of this money can be spent advantageously to reduce travel hazards and facilitate transport. At more than a quarter million grade crossings in the country. ’ Stop. Look and Listen” signs impede the flow of rail and motor traffic. Trains of the new type like the M-10001 can operate efficiently only over a clear right-of-way. A government which is urging the railroads to hasten modernization of equipment should help make the safe operation of that new equipment possible. The question of how to divide the cost of constructing highway underpasses and viaducts naturally arises. Since the railroads would benefit almost as much as trucks, busses and private motorists, it is asked, why should the taxpayers foot the whole bill? Co-ordi-nator Eastman, who never has advocated giving the railroads something for nothing, thinks the government should pay all. Pick and shovel men, concrete and steel workers, and engineers now supported in idleness by government doles, would be better off doing this work. But the government should insist that all railroads whose grade crossings are eliminated public expense co-operate in the recovery i cm by modernising their equipment and improving their services. The benefited rail,i.ac,s would thereoy create new business, help : Ci. ve unemployment and ease the government's relief burden. PRESIDENTIAL YEARNING 'T'HE hidden ambitions of successful men are interesting things, when we can find* out about them. Many an industrial leader secretly wishes he had become a prosDector or a musician: many' a general woul.. be a locomotive engineer or an Arctic explorer if he followed the dictates of his own heart. But the most surprising of all these suppressed desires is the one recently attributed to the late President Coolidge. Arthur Hopkins, theatrical producer, says that Mr. Coolidge always wanted to be an actor. Mr. Hopkins says that he and John Barrymore learned this, some years ago, while guests of President Coolidge at a White House luncheon. The President, he says, not only wanted to be an actor, but was convinced that he would have been a pretty good one. Few men ever win more success than Mr. Coolidge found in his chosen field of politics. It is strange indeed to learn that beneath it all there lurked a hidden yen for the glamour of footlights and grease paint. A SERVANT OF INDUSTRY ALTHOUGH the question whether recovery should precede reform still is unsettled, there is one field in which majority opinion unquestionably wants to see reform take precedence. That field is the stock market. The measures passed by the last congress have not been in effect very long, but it is not too early to glance at the situation and see whether anything more nefcds to be done. John T. Flynn recently wrote an extremely penetrating analysis of the whole stock market situation. In his final article, looking to the future, he suggested certain steps that might be taken to prevent Wall Street from regaining its old dominance over our economic life. To begin with, he asserts that our whole financial system needs recasting. He wruld hare a national banking system, a complete divorce between savings and lending institutions, further restrictions on the activities of brokers, a revision of our corporation laws to require federal charters for all firms engaged in interstate commerce, and abolition of all holding companies. Second, he would have all such restrictions that deal directly with stock exchange activities written solidly into laws which the securities exchange commission would be directed to enforce. Under th present law the commission makes its own regulations on these subjects. This, says Mr. Flynn, puts the commission under direct pressure from Wall Street to adopt a “liberal” attitude, and may eventually result in nullification of the people’s will. In discussing any such measures, it is important to keep clearly in mind the underlying purposes of this or any other financial reform program. The things we have learned since October, 1929, prove pretty clearly that our financial machinery got badly out of gear in the last decade. The machinery of finance, credit and exchange exists to make possible the functioning of a large and complex industrial society. It became perverted. It grew to be end in itself. It got so that it was more important, and more lucrative, to perform sleight-of-hand tricks with this financial mechanism than it was to produce the goods and services which the nation needed. All that the reform program seeks to do is to restore a proper balance. Finance must become industry's servant again, and not its master. Continuance or modification of the reform program should be judged on that basis. PARENTS SHIFT BURDEN UNLESS we revise our way of training children in the public schools, we may presently find that we have reared a generation of “jaded old youngsters” utterly devoid of a sense of value. This is the warning Dr. William Ernest Hocking, professor of philosophy at Harvard, issued to a school teachers’ convention in Ohio recently. Teaching children how to solve problems in arithmetic, how to spell, how to reel off the names of the Presidents, and how to bound the state of Kentucky, Dr. Hocking suggests, is pretty nearly useless unless, at the same time, we give them the mental and emotional training which will enable them to get something out of their lives besides the empty repetition of a monotonous routine. Now the significant thing about this is the fact that the speaker seems to take it for granted that the youngsters are to get this kind of development in the school rather than in the home. One of the most profound changes any human society could undergo has been taking place in this country in recent years, and most of us .hardly have noticed it. We not only have given to our schools the job of teaching our children how to read and . write; we have, to a very great extent, also given thes:<he task of developing our chil-

dren's character, establishing their Ideals, and suggesting to them the approaches to adulthood. A homely illustration Rill show the trend. Hardly any one spanks his child any more; and while that may be an excellent thing, the old-time firmness of parental discipline has vanished pretty largely. It has been transferred to the school room. The child whose parents "can't do a thing with him”—and hi* name is legion, nowadays —obediently toes the mark in school. He has to. He knows teachers will make it hot for him If he doesn’t. Now this is merely a symbol of the way in which we have transferred parental responsibilities to the school ma'am. The only reason why we are not raising the most spoiled brats the world ever knew is that the schools are doing our work for us. It is for that reason that Dr. Hooking’s warning is timely. It calls on the educators to recognize that they have been given a responsibility which, from time immemorial, has rested on the parent. SHEEP IN WOLFS CLOTHING TT is not really a big bad wolf on Wall -*■ Street, says the New York Stock Exchange, but to the contrary a harmless sheep around which misinformation has draped a wolf's clothing. The way to dispel public antagonism, it has decided, is to disseminate the truth about the exchange. Hence the exchange’s projected campaign of education. “We shall present facts only.” said President Whitney in a form letter to exchange members and correspondents asking them to fill out a questionnaire telling the attitude of the local press and pulpit, politicians and farmers, women and workers. This new attempt to build public confidence in the integrity of the securities markets is in striking contrast to the unenlightened selfishness which characterized the conduct of the exchanges in the boom and panic eras. Apparently, the New York Exchange, at least, is out to regain some of its lost customers. Perhaps the fact.that the New York Exchange showed a loss in last year’s operations guided it to the decision that it will be good business to take the public into its confidence. Whatever the prompting, the action is cheerworthy. But the exchange shouldn’t make the mistake of. kidding itself. Rigging of markets, manipulative raids and other shady devices of speculators were widespread in Wall Street in the not far distant past. And the proof is feund in the sworn testimony of financiers who are still influential. Scandals revealed by the senate banking committee demonstrated to thousands of investors that they never had a chance. The exchange should not try to prove that it never was a gentlemen’s gambling club, where insiders controlled the levers. Rather it should demonstrate that henceforth, under federal regulation, it can be an honest market place. Huey Long’s state policemen, guarding his personally conducted rah-rah expeditionary force, were admitted to Tennessee as game wardens “to guard wild life.” It wasn't the open season for migratory geese.

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL -

COUNT ROBERT VAN DER STRATEN PONTHOZ will be th<? next Belgium ambassador to the United States, succeeding the late Paul May who died in Washington last July 30. Count van der Straten is at present minister at Copenhagen and was formerly minister in Buenos Aires. He is 55 and reputed a skilled diplomat. Former State Secretary Henry L. Stimson, looking as fit as the proverbial fiddle, lunched with President Roosevelt at the White House. “What did you talk about?” queried friends after the luncheon. “Oh, we talked about . . . vacations,” said Mr. Stimson. “And other things.” It was surmised that one of the “other things” might have been the Japanese situation, which is now intensified, and which was one of exSecretary Stimson’s biggest problems. The former cabinet chief, ruddy-cheeked and in high spirits, came to town to open up Woodley, his lovely old-fashioned estate on Cathedral avenue. “I'm going to be in New York most of the winter,” he admitted, "but I want some place to commute to. So I decided on Woodley.” He reported that blond blue-eyed, spectacled Jim Rogers, former assistant secretary of state, is coming east in a few days to deliver a series of lectures at Harvard. He and Stimson were close friends and they hope to meet either in Cambridge or New York. Newsmen noted that the former secretary still wears old gray felt hats, and trousers that break slightly over the toe of his shoe. He still is good naturea, kindly, and much interested in affairs of the state department. “What’s going on over there?” he inquired eagerly. “Is anything happening?” “Not much,” replied a reporter. “Nearly everything nowadays is centered at the White House.” ‘“Are you down here to get a government job?” queried one man. “Are you going to be drawn into the administration?” Stimson shook his head vigorously. “I’m happy as I am.” he replied, laughing. And he looks it. nun DIPLOMATS are planning to go to New York to attend the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden from Wednesday to Nov. 13. A great deal of interest is being shown in this event in foreign circles here. Three French officers from the Cavalry School of Saumer, and four officers from the Irish Free State army are arriving today in New York aboard the French liner Lafayette. The French team is commanded by Captain Pierre Clave and includes Lieutenant Charles de la Croix de Castries and Lieutenant de Bertillat. The Irish team, which won the event last year, is bringing twelve prized jumpers valued at $50,000. This team is composed of Colonel Michael Hogan, officer in charge; Lieutenant J. J. Lewis, Captain Dan J. Corry and Captain Fred Ahern The French team has eight mounts. Irish Minister Michael Mac White is expected to attend the horse show, and a crowd is also going from the French embassy. Reservations are being made by a number of other envoys, including Chilean Ambassador Trucco, who has taken a box for one of the performances. u n tt SCANDINAVIAN music is becoming popular here. The minister of Denmark. Otto Wadsted. the minister of Sweden, and Mme. Bostrom, and the minister of Norway and Munthe de Morgenstieme are expected to attend a program of such music to be given soon by Mme. Sola Holmen, contralto from Oslo. Various Scandinavian societies are supporting the movement for more Scandinavian music, and the probabilities are that there will be plenty of it this season. Many members of legation staffs from the far north have strong musical voices, and can be heard singing lustily in their bath tubs. Soon, in musical as well as literary cirales one may hear the phrase “including the Scandinavian” ~,

Out of the clear skies of those days before the depression, when Herbert sat on high Olympus, basking in the glory of eternal prosperity, picking chickens for the pots of the rugged, there issued from an assembly of the gods, known as the Basle committee, representing the chief central banks of the world and presided over by representatives of the federal reserve system of the United States, a warning in the nature of a thunderbolt, as follows: “High tariffs are everywhere putting obstacles in the way of the movement of goods . . . they, cause movements of capital to throw the world's financial balance out of equilibrium . . . the progress of civilization depends upon their removal . . . upon the governments of the world rests the responsibility.” Did the governments listen? No, they were all flag wavers; they defied the lightning, like Ajax, and they all stand today surrounded by wild beasts; throwing the beasts food, because they know the beasts are only waiting for them to stop, to tear them limb from limb. On Tuesday an Indianapolis newspaper stood up as Ajax, to defy its own gods, the bankers. It positively denied that high tariffs had caused or prolonged the depression. It demanded of the administration the unspeakable idiocy of reducing our tariffs, without like concessions from foreign countries, just to prove to the people that it wanted tariffs reduced. And of all the Ajaxes throughout the world, ours are the only ones who denounce the feeders of the beasts. They fear nothing but higher taxes. They know nothing but “balance the budget.” And they never wili—absolutely nothing. tt tt a DIGEST POLL RAPPED BY TIMES READER By William Post. After listening to the radio, it strikes me that the Republican campaign committeemen must have run short of material, since they find it necessary to resort to the telling of bedtime stories about the Big Bad Wolf in an effort to attract votes. They seem to forget that the persons wljo ordinarily might be enraptured by such fairy tales will not be eligible to vote for a number of years., Let me take this occasion to add my name to the growing list of persons who received ballots in the Literary Digest poll last spring, but who failed to receive any this fall. tt tt tt FARMER HAS PROFITED UNDER NEW DEAL By Ernest Hamlyn. The Republican county central committee is sending out speakers this fall in the farming communities and still is trying to induce the farmer to vote against his own interest. But the farmers have not forgotten the twelve years of Republican administration and their appeal to the powers tnat were for relief, but to no avail: when Jim Watson wnuld stump the state in every.campaign and tell the farmers that they sure had a tough time, but stick to the Republican party and the tariff and it would do the job. Yes, it did the job. So well it made near paupers of most of them. Under this New Deal, prices are many times greater for the principal products than for many years and the speakers will not convince many farmers that 14 and 15 cents a bushel for com and 33 cents for wheat received under the Repub-

IT’S A WISE FATHER-!

That Robinson's a Panic , He Says

By Reader, Frankfort I attended my first political meeting when Senator Robinson spoke here a few nights ago. I look forward to hear Governor McNutt here Thursday night. It was just the two meetings for me. It is worth any one’s time whether he be Republican or Democrat to go and hear Senator Robinson if he has the chance. I think Mr. Robinson is a past master at bringing the real out of the hypothetical. He carried us to Moscow, during which time I could almost feel my whiskers grow. It was thrilling. He also was instructive. He told us that we didn’t have free speech, a free press fior freedom of worship here in this country. I marveled somewhat at this as I couldn’t note any restraint in his speech nor have I noted any restraint on the press. No doubt he is correct, however. He told us a lot about the Constitution, and thank the Lord the Constitution still stands. On the whole and considering the occasion, it was a wonderful address. I have attended many Republican meetings in times past, Being somewhat of an old-timer, but I never attended one quite Jike this one. The usual array of former President’s pictures was missing. Not a word did I hear in reference to any former President, not even Abraham Lincoln, who freed the slaves. The Republicans scarcely were mentioned. I heard a great deal about the Dem-

lican administration is better for tnem than 65 to 75 cents for corn and 85 cents to $1.05 for wheat under the New Deal. The different codes under the present administration are harmful to certain businesses, so some speakers said. We would not have needed the codes had it not been for the Harding, Coolidge and Hoover code, with Andrew Mellon the administrator, and with the flexible tariff he could whisper in the ear of the President that he wished the tariff pushed up 10 or 20 per cent on aluminum. Os course, the President used decorum and said nothing, and that may be the reason they called him “Silent Cal.” But the tariff went up and again the peopl' fell easy prey. So, good people, next Tuesday, when you go to cast your vote, think of the H. C. H. code and the misery caused to millions of people under their rule and you will give indorsement to our amiable President Roosevelt by voting the straight Democratic ticket. 000 CONGRESSMEN SHOULD LISTEN, NOT TALK, HE SAYS By An East Sider. Mr. Scott, of Greenfield, says we need a representative to say “no” to the New Deal program. What need would there be of mentioning a New Deal if the old order had shown ability of our super-business men to operate their business in such fashion as would have provided constant production of new. wealth? The scrapping of 11,000,000 men, and the destruction of their opportunity to earn and create new wealth thunders condemnation and reproach to those whose snort at the attempt of government to restore their usefulness to society. The old order of incompetents who still shout of their superiority, despite their abysmal failures to control this fake system of production are not to be trusted again until they demonstrate some of their boasted supremacy. Seeing is believing. There never has tjeen a constant program developed by our super-men which had any rhyme or reason to it for meeting social needs. The relief program was as necessary in Mr. Scott’s hometown as It

ocrats. They must be awful. I heard considerable about Governor McNutt. I don’t know what office he is running for but he certainly is in the running somewhere. In climaxing his remarks about Governor McNutt he told us that he had traveled the state from the Ohio to the Illinois lines and from the Michigan to the Kentucky lines; had talked with hundreds of Democrats and Republicans alike and hadn’t talked with a man who had a good word to say for Governor McNutt. I thought that was quite the gentlemanly thing to say. The meeting reminded me very much of the old story which most of you have heard, but perhaps have forgotten, of the occasion when a man was to be* hanged. He was such a culprit that he had no friends, not even a minister was present at the time of the hanging. The authorities couldn’t bear the thought of continuing without someone saying something on behalf of the victim. After much scouting around they found one, a lawyer, I believe, who consented to say a few words just before the execution. He arose and proceeded thus: “Gentlemen, if you will pardon me we will discuss the tariff for a few minutes.” Well, the Constitution helps many a speaker who is in a predicament. No, I was well repaid for attending Senator Robinson’s meeting. I got many laughs and let me urge all to hear him.

was in all other towns. When these whizbang go-getters show us that they can put all of our unemployed to work with wages sufficient to consume the products they create, then there will be plenty of time for discussing the dropping of any assistance the government has given to those who were treated like outcasts of society by our super-business brains. The brain trust just had to function because of a lack of brains in the heads of these would-be leaders. When we hire a congressman to represent us we will get one who is willing to listen as well as talk? 000 NEGROES WILL NOT FORGET DAYS OF OLD REGIME By Ernest E. Lishalerl. The election period is here again and every one is advising his neighbor how to vote and who to vote for. The Negro, still being considered politically ignorant, has many counsellors and advisers. He invariably has lived on the Republican side of the political house so long that he is ostracized by his own people if he votes the Democratic ticket. His is the only race of people which has stood the test of time and the many changes without ever attempting to divide their vote between the two major parties. He always is reminded of the many good deeds the Republicans have done for him to the extent that he feels it somewhat a betrayal of fidelity if he votes for the Democratic party. That argument may have stood the test twenty years ago, but in 1924 the Republican party brought a dirty night shirt from Georgia and sold it to D. C. Stephenson to be retailed at $lO for each 100 per cent Republican in Indiana with the avowed intention of racial and religious hatred with the Negro as the principal character in this drama of hate. There are many Negroes who can not reconcile that display of hate then with protestation of friendship now. We are of the opinion that the Republican party has displayed sufficiently to us all the hateful things they claim the Democratic party has

.NOV. 3, 1984

been doing to our people when the Democrats owned the K. K. K., but we know today who owns the grand united order of the sons of the ancient night riders and red light brigade. 1. We believe today that every vote we cast for the Democratic party in Indiana will be a vote cast for the political liberation of our people in the South. 2. We are satisfied that the Democratic party has done more for our people in Indiana than ever before. 3. We believe that the Democratic party has shown us that they are anxious for our political co-opera-tion, and that when they are fully satisfied that our political allegiance to them in the north, east and west is assured, they eventially will eliminate the political restrictions against the Negroes in the south. 4. When the Negroes learn to divide their votes between the two major parties, their political future not only would change in the north, but the south, recognizing them as allies, also will make a bid for their votes. 5. The political indenture of the Negro in the south is due to the fact that though he has been a child of the south, a man of the south, fed, clothed and educated in the south, he never has given the south his political allegiance. After all is said and done, we never must forget the fact that some of the most intelligent, prosperous and influential Negroes in this country still are in the south. THE TREE PLANTING SITUATION IS AIRED By Earl E. Williams. The President’s plan for planting a “tree belt” from Canada to Mexico has collapsed, as was expected. Mr. Roosevelt finally has been convinced that trees Just won’t grow in that area, due to the fact that there is not enough moisture in the ground. We are hoping that the President will not try any more of his pet theories, but from past experience we should not be too hopeful. It would not be at all surprising if the next congress were asked to appropriate $5,000,000,000 to change the course of the Missouri river in order to irrigate that area so that trees win grow. Even though the plan is not feasible, that will not deter the President, as is would give employment to many "deserving Democrats.” It is apparent that President Roosevelt is not at all concerned whether his plans work out or not, s long as money is spent and hi3 party benefits.
