THURSDAY FTBR'ARY 14 UH WHY HAUPTMANN MUST DIE r.a.l holes probably contnbuied as much a* anything else to the conviction of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. Dr. Condon had saom that it was to Hauptmann that he paid the ransom money. Evidence had been produced that the accused had passed some of the gold notes. This had a bearing on an extortion accusation, but it did not prove Hauptmann guilty of the killing. Col. Lindbergh had identified Hauptmann's vow-re as that of the man who cried to Jafsie. *Hey, Doctor.” Records had been produced inr that Hauptma'nn had quit his Job as carpenter two days alter the ransom money was paid, and that he lived without work and handled mor* than $40,000 in the next several months. More circumstantial evidence of extortion but still no murder evidence. Wit nr os had sworn that comparisons of ▼ nous specimens of handwriting showed conclusively that Hauptmann had written all of the demand notes. But opportunity remained for defense attorneys to challenge this testimony; to areue that there was ground for -reasonable doubt,” the chief refuge of a man on trial. All the circumstances considered as a whole might constitute strong evidence of extortion, b it it was not until testimony concerning the rail holes was introduced that the state rounded out its case. A board had been sawed off the floor of the Hauptmann attic. One upright, or rail, in a section of the kidnap ladder was placed in the space from which this board was taken. The four nail holes in the upright from the ladder fitted perfectly in the nail holes still In the floor beams. A witness testified: -We placed four cus nails in this rail and placed it upon the beams. Those nails fitted perfectly into the holes that were still in the beams. The nails were on a slight angle, sort of toed in. We pushed them in with our fingers.” Dr. Condon might have been mistaken and so mi2ht Col. Lindbergh and the handwriting experts, but the nail holes were not mistaken. And that is what the jury believed, as evidenced by its verdict. PRODUCTION GOES UP UNDERNEATH all the much-discussed subdivision of the recovery program, there seems to be a slow but definite tide which is moving toward prosperity. Thus the United Stales Chamber of Commerce reports that industrial production at the end of 1934 was 25 per cent above the low pouit of 1932, and that 1.300.000 more wage earners were on Uie pay rolls of manufacturing plants than was the case two years ago. The normal seasonal recession to be expected in January did not appear, coal was moving by rail at a greater volume than in any January since 1931, and the use of electric power was steadily climbing. Whether our recovery is coming because of or m spite of the Administrations efforts may still be a moot point. The important fact is that it does, definitely, seem to be under way.

JESUS AND NAPOLEON IT has been said that the two figures in history of the most intense interest to mankind are those opposites, Jesus Christ and Napoleon. Jesus Christ represents Love, finding glory in giving His life for others. Napoleon represents Power, sacrificing the lives of others for his own glory. Jesus represents the divine in terms of the human; Napoleon represents the human in terms of itself. It has been the privilege of The Indianapolis Times to present something new. destined to be of permanent historical interest, about each of these figures. Last year we presented the previously unpublishd manuscript of ‘ The Life of Our Lord” by Charles Dickens, the great novelist. This year we present the letters of Napoleon to his empress, Marie Louise, just discovered. Thus to offer something new and valuable about there- figures of permanent interest is, we believe, journalism of the highest kind, and. from the many expressions we have received. it is warmly welcomed and appreciated by our readers. LEAGUE MEMBERSHIP IF you have innocently wondered why the League of Nations was quite unable to do anything m the least effective along the line of slowing up Japan's seizure of territory in Manchuria, you m.ght profitably read the current cable dispatches about Italy's dispute With Abyssinia. Just what has been happening in those aun-smitten outposts along the Ethiopian border is not all all clear—won't be dear, probably, until the smoke clears away and a good many young men of both races have died. But it is evident that the excellent old game of imperialism is being played anew, and the w’.r.d-up will probably see anew sector of Africa experiencing the joys of European rule. Two or three things are rather significant. Cne is the fact that Abyssinia appealed to the League of Nations to settle the dispute, ana that Italy refused to permit it. Another Is that France, according to a recent cable, “has agreed tacitly to give Italy a free hand in dealing w ith Abyssm.a, even to takmg over most of the country * In other word*. Italy is behaving toward Abyssinia—with Europe* general consent—in much the same way that Japan behaved toward China, and this need not imply a criticism of either n att nn J because that is the way 4

strong nations almost Invariably behave toward weak ones. Our own nation got possession of California and the other southwestern states in much the same way, incidentally. Now the thing to bear in mind in this connection is simply the fact that a stream can me no higher than its source. An international organization can not impose on any nation a rule of conduct which all its members are not ready to accept for themselves. The League, to be brief, could not keep Japan from taking what it wanted in the Orient because the leading members of the League have done the same sort of thing themselves and are prepared to do it again if they see fit. The plain fact, then, is that no international League can keep the peace until the nations which pompose it are ready to turn over anew leaf, individually, in their own dealings with other nations. The Italian squabble with Abyssinia is clear proof that wc have not yet reached that point. It explains why the League was impotent when Japan raided Manchuria. NEW RED CROSS CHIEF IN appointing Admiral Cary T. Grayson as executive head of the American Red Cross President Roosevelt has named an able man. Admiral Grayson is one of America s best doctors. While known chiefly for his services as Woodrow Wilson's personal physician, he has also been busy for years in medical research, health conservation causes and Red Cross activities. His wide personal acquaintance and experience will stand him in good stead as administrator of the big quasi-public relief organization-that dwells in marble halls in Washington. At various timfs in the past the Red Cross has been under fire of critics for hoarding current relief funds /or its “war chest,” for bureaucracy, for. class favoritism and for the self-perpetuating closed-corporation character of its high command. Assuming that most of these criticisms are unjustified, it is nevertheless probable that the Red Cross would benefit by an injection of new blood and new' ideas. It is to be hoped that Admiral Grayson w ill provide a progressive administration for this great humanitarian institution. TRADE ARITHMETIC OUR isolationists rejoice in the Commerce Department's report of last year’s 478 million dollar “favorable balance of trade” and orse billion dollar inflow of gold. They do not consider that our “favorable balances” are written in red ink on the ledgers of most of our customer nations., and probably will neicr be collected. How' can our foreign customers pay if we refuse to accept payment irv goods and continue to drain off their limited suplies of gold? One group of American workers and business men are entitled to as much consideration as another groifp. Isolationists stoutly defend the vested right of all American workers and business men in a sheltered American market. But they fail to recognize that the prosperity of legions of American workers and business men depends upon access to foreign markets. Thus they have no remedy for the problem presented by the new Agriculture Department report that exports of American farm products have dropped to about half the volume of a year ago. In December our cotton exports were the smallest in 17 years, exports of fruits the smallest in 10 years, and exports of wheat and hour and hams and bacon about one-sixth the pre-war volume. Those export losses mean millions of dollars of losses to American farmers and farm workers. Germany presents one answer to what is happening to America's farm markets abroad. Until about a year & go, Germany was one of the largest purchasers of American cotton and foodstuffs. Last year, Germany's purchases of American exports dropped 70 per cent>—from about 15 million dollars in January to about four million in December. The monthly average in 1929 was more than 21 million. Germany also has drastically reduced her interest payments to American creditors. True, Germany has discriminated unfairly against American creditors and American • goods. Germany said that she could not continue to buy two or three times as much from us as she sold to us and still pay her debts, so long as she was unable to sell her goods elsewhere to get the gold. Germany's choking off . of foreign imports, incidentally, has not proved any healthier for her than the Smoct-Hawley spree has for the United States. Germany’s ifnemplcyment has increased 31 per cent since October. Russia happens to be about the only major country which can stand ’ong on the receiving end of one-way trade with the United States. Russia has built up arge favorable balances in her trade with other countries, and has greatly increased the output of her own gold mines. Russia could pay off heavy balances to the United States. But. of course, this merely is of academic interest." By cutting off the debt-credit negotiations, the Roosevelt Administration thumbed its nose at the Sovirts and, in effect, told Russia to take her *ich trade elsewhere—which Russia seems to fce doing.

REVOLUTION IN RUBBER TF experiments now being conducted at the University of Illinois pan out as successfully as the university’s Prof. Gtorge L. Clark expects, them to, one of those unexpected and :ncalculable revolutions in large-scale industry may presently be thrust upon us. Prof. Clark has been able to isolate a molecule of the rubber plant under the microscope and have a good look at it—something which science nad supposed to be quite impossible. The research thus begun, he says, may well lead to synthetic production of rubber as good and as cheap as the natural product. It is not hard to see the industrial upset that would take place if this became a fact. A tremendous new industry would be developed in this country—and. presumably, in other countries as well; simultaneously, the enormous rubber plantations of the tropics would stagnate. Hundred of millions of dollars in investments would be ehaken. the destinies of huge areas would be changed-nll because a scientist peered into a microscope! A bill in Oklahoma would tax bachelora who are over 28. So you see, women have more influence in politics than you may think. * v

Liberal Viewpoint BY DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES THE other day I received a somewhat startling folder which asked in flaming letters the question: “Shall we permit crime and radicalism to ruin our country?” Its sponsors put themselves down as the “Association Better Citizenship. Inc.” In the folder we find such forthright statements as the following: “Crime, radicalism, infidelism, unemployment problems are destroying our vision.” “We aim to make better citizens of all kinds ; of citizens. We deal with crime, radicalism and j unemployment scientifically.” “Never before, as far as records go that we ! have seen, has there been an attempt to gain ! the co-operation of the citizens of the congested | districts in the fight against crime and radical- i ism.” “We conduct a weekly open forum in Red ! Square (Union Square) /or educational purposes j both for ourselves and the Reds. We are having j a bully good time. Rough and tough, but highly i enjoyable.” Now it is obviously desirable to organize associations to combat crime. It is also certainly , permissible for any one who feels like it to ! organize groups for the peaceful suppression ot radicalism. At the same time, if one has any regard for j truth, elementary logic or the transparent facts j of American social history it is certainly not fair | to link up in one movement a drive on both crime and radicalism and to imply that the radicals are primarily responsible for crime in the United States. a a a THE reverse of this comes nearer to the truth. For the greater part of the really significant. criminality in this country today irresponsible j capitalism and rugged individualism have been | primarily responsible, both directly and indirectly. The “something-for-nothing” ideals of the j <*ra of finance capitalism have borne fruit in an , appalling development of organized crime and | racketeering, obvious by-products of the system. • Crime represents anti-social action jlcarly beyond the pale of the law and directly punishable by the force of the state. Racketeering embraces a wide variety of practices on the border line between crime and shady business practices. It rests primarily upon fear, and consists of diversified forms of extortion of money without any corresponding service rendered. Both contemporary crime and racketeering have derived this inspiration and technique mainly from certain business and financial practices of i the last generation. The basis for our crime orgy has been laid by the developments of the last thirty years. It is a law of social psychology, formulated by Gabriel Tarde and others years ago, that the socially inferior tend to ape the socially superior. The upper classes capitulated pretty thoroughly to the prevailing “something-for-nothing” psychol- j ogy of the past era. Freebooting in railroads, ! banxs, utilities, receiverships and the like be-* came shockingly frequent. a a a IT was inevitable that, sooner or later, a process of imitation w r ould set in among the criminally inclined of the lower classes—especially the foreign element. Many of the practices of finance capitalism have approached the border line of criminality. Thus fact was recognized by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his message to Congress on Jan. 3, 1934. “. . . We have been shocked by many notorious examples of injuries done our citizens by persons or groups who have been living off their neighbors by the use of methods either unethical or criminal. “In the first category—a field which does not involve violation of the letter of our laws — practices have been brought to light ivhich have shocked those who believed that we were in the past generation raising the ethical standards of business. . . . “In the other category, crimes of organized banditry, cold-blooded shooting, lynching and kidnaping have threatened o u security.”

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL

THE Supreme Court has not yet announced its decision on the gold clausp „utmost of the justices for years have admired the famous gold dinner service at the White Housg. Last week, amid red and white carnations, white buddleia and maidenhair ferns, the justices were dined by President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes headed the list of arrivals, accompanied by Mrs. Hughes. He wore pearl studs in his shirt, and (except when he bowed his head) an old-fashioned white tie cut on the flat pattern peeked from beneath his beard. All members of the court attended, except Justices Brandeis and Van Devanter. The former never goes to formal dinners and the latter is in mourning. Raymond Moley was on from New York for the party and brought his wife. She is far less widely Known than Ray. Many guests didn’t recognize her. Bishop Ryan of Catholic University, one of the most popular dinner guests in the Capital, added a splash of color with the purple insignia of his office. The former ambassador to Germany, James W. Gerard, was another guest, sitting just below Mrs. Biggs, wife of the pink-cheeked solicitor general, who divides .nuch of her time between Persian cats and rose bushes. Senator and Mrs. Borah attended—the Idaho Senator carefully eschewing wine in favor of his customary drink—water. Senator and Mrs. Ashurst of Arizona bowed and smiled from across the table. Ashurst is as eloquent at White House dinners as on the Senate floor. Mr. Bernard (Barney) Baruch, who went duck hunting a little earlier in the season, appeared with Mrs. Baruch. He looks ruddy from outdoor exercise, his eyes twinkling through rimless specs. a a a THE Senate seems to be growing restive unthe jibes of Huey Long. A number of Senators walked out into the cloakrooms last Thursday when the Louisiana Kingfish began one of his now famous tirades. Others rose from their seats several times to make sarcastic comments. Once, in the course of his harangue, Long shouted: “I wish I'd lived a hundred years ago ...” Senator Black of Alabama stood up and exclaimed: , ‘‘l want to concur in those sentiments.” A little later. Long twitted veteran Senator Tom Connally of Texas about his failure to come to the defense of farmers. “I haven’t had a chance to,” retorted Connally, referring to the fact that the Kingfish had held the floor for more than an hour. Styles in the auto industry change each year, tut when it comes to the automobile code, the industry prefers to stick to the 1934 model. Twenty million on relief leaves only one hundred million wondering where the next day's food expense will come from. The New Jersey judge who beat up a man for beating his wife and children probably didn’t act legally, but he acted effectively. Ivan Poderjay must figure he’d rather plead guilty to bigamy than face any one of his wives. In other words, by turning down the World Court, we refuse to court the world. Railroads are putting on faster and faster trains until some day they’ll succeed in beating the automobiles to the crossings.

(Times readers are invited to express their views in these solutnns. Hake your letters short, so all can have a chance. Limit them to 2SO words or leas. Your letter must be signed, but names will be withheld at reguest o] the letter writer.) a a a WAGES PAID BY FARMERS ARE SCORED By E. VV. Clayton. I never read truer pieces than those R. J. B. and Mrs. E. E. R. wrote about the farmers. The farmers want everything in the world to make life easier and expect somebody to do their work for as little as 50 cents to $1 a day and from that to nothing but their board. The farmer wants as big a price for his products as he can get, but he does not want to pay a living wage for help. The farmers come to town and criticize the PWA workers. The farmers talk about the PWA workers because they can’t get them to come out on the farm and work for starvation wages. It is high time a minimum wage law was passed for farm labor as w'ell as industry and other business. There are farmers in Morgan County who are not paying their labor any more now than they did three years ago when corn was selling for 15 cents a bushel and wheat for 35 cents a bushel. If corn would sell today for $2 a bushel and wheat for $3 a bushel there are farmers who would expect someone to do their work for a starvation wage, such as 50 cents to $1 a day. I wish every farmer and farm laborer could read this letter and see how the farm laborers feel about it. I say if the farmers don’t want to pay better wages chan 50 cents to $1 a day they should not put out more than the farmers can take care of. We all know that most farmers have signed the corn and hog contract and the government gives them large checks for doing nothing. Who pays for all of this? The taxpayers. Here we are—lo,ooo,ooo idle men and 10.000,000 acres, but the farmers still think they should have their work done for as little as possible and sell their products ! at a high price. an <*' READER GIVES HIS VIEWS ON SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR Bv Frank G. Mathusack. On Jan. 16, one William H. Col- \ lins gave as facts on the duration | of the war with Spain and the ' Philippines Insurrection, also that a Civil governor was inaugurated July 4. 1902, at Manila, P. I. I take issue. War against Spain ; was declared April 21, and ended 1 Sept. 21, 1898. All men who enlisted or re-enlisted on those dates or between were discharged. Troops stationed in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Ladrone and the Philippines had to wait until the army was reorganized under general order No. 36 of the war department March 4, 1899. The last part of section 12 read as fbllows: “Provided further, that such increased regular and volunteer force shall continue in service only during the necessity therefore, and not later than July 1, 1901. All enj listment for the volunteer ' force j herein authorized shall be for the i term of two years and four months, | unless sooner discharge by command of Maj. Gen. Miles. H. C. Corbin, adjutant general.” All men who enlisted under that order were out of the Philippines before July*l, 1901, under discharge as their services were no longer required, except f hose ’ who accepted

A VALENTINE DAY SENTIMENT

By J. F. Huffman. When newspaper space is used by a newspaper.-to maliciously attack the attempt upon the part of industry in their efforts to correct an existent evil, we are forced to voice our protest. Referring to your front page “splurge” and your editorial of Feb. 8. Dare you to publish an unbiased answer to these questions? Where is the small independent grocer of a few years ago? Where is the small independent druggist of the same period? What penalty have they, as well as many, many other small business men paid in their losing battle against the large operator with ''their wolfish competitive methods? Speaking in behalf of about 3000 small operators in this industry in Indiana, the NIRA, with its efforts at regulation, has literally kept those operators in business and enabled them to at least buy bare necessities. Further the Dyer Industrial Stabilization Act does not burden the state of Indiana With apy additional cost and does not create jobs'for any administrative bodies

positions in various branches of the; insular civil government. First part of July, 1901, the insular civil government was established. Executive, judicial and legislative. Military law ceased—also insurrection. About the middle of March, 1901, Aguinaldo was captured and confined, other insurgent leaders were captured or surrendered and depprted to Gflam. Metropolitan police relieved provost guard. Insular constabulary took stations in provinces before July 1, 1901, also Insular Coast Guard took over patroling duty. a a CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT SHOULD BE EXPLAINED By Fairplay. I read Dorothy Dunbar Bromley’s article in favor of the child labor amendment and notice she says, ‘‘there is no word in the amendment which would give the right to militarize our children or to dictate what religious instructions they shall or shall not have.” I should like to ask if there is any word in this amendment which would keep the government from having that right and if so what it says. Why not publish in the papers the child labor amendment so people will know what it is or stands for? I do not believe in giving Congress or the President the right to control our children when the President can not even control his own. I would like to hear the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin’s- opinion on the child labor amendment. We need a few Father Coughlins at Washington at this time. ana GROSS SALES TAX IS BURDEN TO MERCHANTS By Jimmy Cafouro*. There was a time when farmers and real estate men groaned and whined about taxes. They protested that they bore the brunt of the tax program. And like all other similar situations, they had soon raised their voice high enough so that they were heard. In due course followed legislation which healed this gaping wound only to inflict another. Now

Inherent Selfishness Reacts

[l wholly disapprove of what you say and will 1 defend to the death your right to say it. — Voltaire. J

that is not paid by industry upon a basis that in no form or manner can be reflected in the price of any commodity. In this industry our employes are paid from 16 to 28 per cent more in wages today and from 14 to 18 per cent more employes have been added to our pay rolls and are being given an opportunity to earn decent, livable wages and the consumer is not paying one cent additional for our service, in fact in 90 per cent of the localities in Indiana they are paying less. The inherent selfishness of certain interests is the basis of the opposition to the stabilization act with the predominant thought in their minds of eventually driving from business the grocer, the baker, the druggist and in fact any small business operator who should have the right to make his living without facing the cutthroat methods employed by those larger interests. Is not that same selfishness warping your judgment in building up opposition maliciously and not confining your statements to the truth so that the jJublic may be the judge?

nerchants—small, unorganized, common, everyday merchants —are canting and ranting and wondering how they will pay the gross sales tax, THe situation is such that by a great deal of concentrated effort they manage to keep their faces (some of them) out of the deep. The gross sales tax is just another of a multitude of anchors tied to the neck of any one who is unfortunate enough to be in business and still more unfortunate in that he does a neighborhood and not a national business. a a a SOLDIERS PAID TERRIFIC PRICE IN WORLD WAR By Angele Mathus. We who :ead the Message Center were regaled by the braying of “Junior” discoursing on his views concerning soldiers’ pensions. Just whac do you know of the problems of these men, shattered in nerves, minds and bodies? Their average age ,s 45 or 50—these men sent to fight the battles of you and your ilk/ Dare you grudge them the Pittance ihey receive? You say ;ou are unwilling to pay taxes to support their paid mercenaries. Own up, do you pay any taxes unless, perchance, a poll tax. Did you offer your little protesting squeak at Admiral Byrd's, General Pershing's or a President's widow's pension? The widows of Senators who die in office receive a pretty little sum. Some expensive funerals of those soions in Washington have been paid by the* people. What about thq MU allowing widows of GCC camps recruits a pension of $45 a month? It is extremely probable Uncle

Mudd. While the government is loaning money, why not loan to the unemployed and those who are working that they may buy a few necessities of life, such as clothes and furniture, etc. The loan could be a credit card good on any store up to S3OO, i making the repayment installments : total 60 for the full amount. The applicant ivould have to make apI plication for an insurance policy for I the amount of loan and interest. The applicant getting a loan could work fwo extra days a month to make the monthly installments. When they are employed in private | employment they could repay in l mqney. There are several ways this ; plan could be worked. What is your i idea?
