SATURDAY, APRIL 13. 1933 YOUTH PROTESTS A/'OUNG men who must pay with thnr lives ;n rase of war and young women who will pay m suffering and tears, yesterday staged a nation-wide peace strike on scores of American campuses. Pa Miotic organizations, R. O. T. C. member: police and a few college presidents felt calied upon to suppress the demonstrations. In Ixis Angeles police rlubbed two girls into unconsciousness and the K. K. K. burned fiery rro; e.s above the campuses in warning. In Boston seven students were arrested and fined lor distributing peace literature and a professor speaking against war was booed. In Chicago stench bombs were thrown at studen - paraders. In Washington President Marvin of George Washington University refused to allow Rep. Maury Maverick of Texas to address students. Po •eritv will decide which of these—the militanrlv peace-loving students of America or their objecting elders—have served civilization best. PLOWING AWAY terrible dust storms in the West are producing a change in popular attitude which years of earnest argument and prophecy failed to achieve F'or several decades, expprts in soil con•rrvation warned the nation that it was wasting its most priceless possession. But, on the whole, the people remained indifferent, and so did their public officials. Now the dust storms, with their dramatic toll of human life and overnight destruction of vast areas of farm lands, have shaken the people. The demand that the government do something to check the spread of a man made desert has reached panic proportions. The alarm is justified. But a discouraging feature of the new demand is the utter dependence with which the people look to the national government to perform a miracle. True. Washington should and will spend hundreds of millions of dollars. There is no other adequate credit to be used to fasten the loose soil by planting trees, shrubs, grasses and unprofitable erosion resisting crops. But aggressive co-operation bv state nnd local governments and the owners of land is also needed. “It is obvious." Director Bennett of the U. S. Evasion Service says, “that this is not a battle to be fought solely by the government. The whole people must be aroused if we are not to lose the battle. - ’ State governments have a duty even more important to long-range success of erosion control than all of the Federal government's prospective expenditures. State governments have jurisdiction over lands privately owned. They should exercise their power bv prohibiting further misuse of private lands by farmers and cattle and lumber men. NEGLECTED LANDS THE extent to which the Federal government will be able to undertake a longrange International and conservation program under the $4,880,000,000 bill, as it was passed by Congress, has been questioned. Some attorneys believe the measure will not permit government acquisition of submargmal lands, forests and park areas. Land is our greatest asset. Studies of the National Resources Board show that more than half the nation's acreage is affected by erosion. The total area of the nation is 1.934.642.270 acres. Out of this there were only 798.870.160 acres on which the board could report: "Erosion unimportant.” The remainder has been depleted to some degree by wind or sheet erosion, gullying or by over-grazing. If there is any doubt of the authority of the government to buy submarginal lands and restore them to grass or forests under the additional legislation. Unlike some hurried re-work-relief bill, it should be quickly cleared by lief projects, national land conservation will mean much not only to this generation but to future generations. A. X. P. A. AND CHILD LABOR From the New York World-Ttlecram) THF American Newspaper Publishers' Association is circularizing its members with editorial attacks on the Child Labor Amendment The World-Telegram is a member of this national organization of daily newspapers. But this newspaper also happens to be an active advocate of the Child Labor Amendment. So we desire herewith to repudiate the action of the A. N. P. A. committee, which we beheie is doing a distinct disservice to American newspapers generally. There is a legitimate field for the activity of the A N. P A. functioning as a trade association, to advance the legitimate interests pf the publishers, when these interests do not run counter to the public will. However, because of the special privileges accorded the American press under our form of government, newspapers can not act as special pleaders for their own interests without compromising the special position they occupy in the public confidence and esteem. With any newspaper worthy of public support and confidence, public service must come before self-service. Nothing could so greatly damage American journalism in the eyes of the public than for it to make of itself a regimented pressure group comparable to the National Assoclation of Manufacturers or the American Federation of Labor. These are dp vs of widely divergent views on vital public policies. A truly Independent press, giving full and free expression to divirgent views, is the implement by winch 4ital Que&ucna can be fuiiy ured and sane policies

finally formed. Never has a press, free in the fullest sense of the word, been of greater importance to our very existence as a democracy. But freedom and independence are restricted whenever an editor, even by his silence, permits any association to speak for him publicly or to his feilow editors. The WorldTelegram is a* strongly opposed to a journalistic bloc as it is opposed to a Long. Coughlin, Townsend or soldier s bonus bloc. We do not challenge the good faith of ary newspaper opposing the Child Labor Amendment. But we do know that the charge has beer, made that newspaper opposition to the amendment is inspired bv the .selfish desire of the publishers to retain the status quo of newsboy delivery. Granted that there may be merit in the contention that the amendment is not wisely drawn, no trifling advantage that could come to publishers as a result of a successful en bloc attack upon it could possibly compensate for the price that would be paid in lost public confidence should the impression prevail that publishers had used their journalistic strength to preserve an advantage to themselves at the expense of the youth of the nation. A GOOD STEAK -Q EP. MAURY MAVERICK, like the unbranded steers his grandfather used to send roaming the great Southwest, thinks the lone* pa-ra-rie a safer place for a man than a soft-carpeted caravanserai in Washington. Responding to a dinner invitation sent by the Southern States Industrial Council, the young Texan said he would come if he could pay for his own meal. The Council’s president was deeply offended that Maury saw- anything sinister in so innocent a thing as a bid to dinner. “We deplore," he wrote the Congressman, the implication that it is an unsafe thing for a member of Congress to expose himself to the influence of a good steak and the information which he often gets in connection therewith, even though they cost him nothing except his time, which is presumed to be worth more than the best dinner." Mr. Maverick's Chesterficldian comment to this was: “Phooey!” Without questioning his would-be host's motives it can be said that the Texas Congressman s instinct is sound. Piopaganda sifted through soft lights, laughter and music is ever so much more convincing. The subtle half-tones of dinner conversation are more persuasive than logic in the daylight. Many a man who could not be bought for millions has been tempted by a good steak. CHILDREN AT PLAY PLAY, like so many other things in our youth, used to be “free for children.” There were the cow pasture baseball diamond, the old swimmin’ hole, the woods and its streams for trapping and fishing. Today 56 per cent of all Americans live in cities, and unless the cities provide playgrounds, parks and other recreational facilities, children must play on the streets and sidewalks. The depression has pinched city budgets, on the one hand, and sent into streets 2,500.000 unemployed youths, on the other. The result is that play centers are underbuilt, inadequate and congested. “Ten million urban children are still without playgrounds,” says a report of the National Recreation Association. "Neighborhood playing fields are only about 30 per cent adequate. The indoor recreation centers should be more than doubled to meet the need for them. The greater part of the task of providing recreational opportunities lies ahead.” From now on urban America should plan for play as seriously as it has planned for work in the past. And especially should it have ample space and facilities for children to run and stretch their legs in sport. Children at play are not problems in disease, Juvenile delinquency or crime. Here is a legitimate call upon the cities, states and nation now planning gigantic work relief projects. EXCUSE IT. PLEASE TN San Quentin, famous as the domicile of innocent Tom Mooney, California hanged a 19-year-old Negro named Rush Griffin the other day. Imagine that state's embarrassment when it discovered four days later that a Los Angeles court had granted Griffin an appeal on his plea that he killed in self-defense. An absent-minded court clerk, it seems, had mislaid the appeal papers. Too bad. of course, but mistakes will happen. And California courts, clever at getting around such little things as blunders, have set about to clear the records. The court machinery Is moving solemnly to “save” the dead mans life by sending the appeal papers to the state Supreme Court. Apparently that august body soon will issue a stay of execution. and everything will be okeh. Thus California reproduces in ghastly fact thr fiction story about the vigilance committee that hanged the wrong man by mistake. The committee's spokesman, notifying the widow, apologized. We re downright sorry, madam." he said, graciously doffing his hat, but we reckon the joke s on us." ROMANCE HAS NOT DIED T'HE day of rip-snorting romance at sea Is supposed so have ended about the time when the steamboat shoved the last of the square-riggers off the main sea lanes. But romance doesn't depend on the trappings of tradition. As long as there are oceans to be crossed and men to cross them there will be adventure, and romantic things can happen to a seaman today just as well as they did 100 years ago. Consider, for instance, the surprising things that befell a young man named J. Ancil Bayette. who went to sea for a lark last June after graduation from the University of Florida. Bayette shipped on a four-masted schooner for St. Vincent, in the Cape Verde Islands. The schooner had a load of lumber and automobiles. and it immediately ran into very heavy weather—so heavy that it took 114 days to make the trip, whereas even Columbus did it in 90. Anyway, on arrival at St. Vincent, the skipper got into difficulties with the owners and was dismissed. And then, by a freak of chance, young Bayette. fresh out of college, was put in command, and tha schooner

' took on anew cargo and cleared for the west i coast of Africa. Old Man Trouble was still on the prowl. More storms came. Tne old schooner sprung a leak—or, more accurately, a whole set of ! leaks. And the young officer who went to sea for a lark found himself commanding a foundering hulk in an Atlantic gale, with his frightened crew putting in 24 hours a day at the pumps. Finally the pumps clogged. The schooner became waterlogged. The young skipper found his brief career of command climaxed by the necessity of abandoning ship. There was just one lifeboat—an 18-foot affair into which 12 men had to jam themselves. It was powered with a small motor, but the motor wouldn't work and they had to take it out. They set forth, leaving the schooner to sink, and set out to brave the i gale. There followed days of great privation. A steamer hove in sight, failed to see them in the storm wrack and went away. Food ran low, toward the end they were reduced to j the unusual and interesting diet of hardboiled eggs and whisky. And at last, with food and strength and hope vanishing together, they managed to land on the tip of the island of Brava, in the Cape Verde group, where they slept in caves I on a rocky beach until one of their number was able to walk to a settlement and summon help. So the romance of the sea is dead, is it? If you think so, you might ask this young college lad from Florida.

Liberal Viewpoint by DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES

PROFESSOR PITKIN has written an excellent book on the crisis of contemporary capitalism. (.‘'Capitalism Carries On,” McGrawHill.), but the title can give a very false impression of the contents or even open up the wav for a humorous parody. It has been represented by not a few commentators as an apology for the capitalistic system, but it is not such in any ordinary sense of the term. Indeed, it is one of the most devastating indictments of conventional capitalism that I have ever read. Professor Pitkins makes it clear that the only type of capitalism which can carry on for any length of time is a radically different variety of capitalism from any we have ever known. It would have to be a rigorously planned capitalism, lead by able members of the middle class, and tolerating the existence of a large nonprofit economy along side of it. Professor Pitkin not only undermines capitalism of the Hoover-Mellon variety, but shows the essential bankruptcy of even the New Deal economy. Just how economic America stands today is presented lucidly and graphically in the two following tables: “There are row, in early 1935, about 127,000 of us. We fall into five broad income classes tlur: Upper class, very rich, about 500,000 Middle class 12,000,000 Self-supporting workers, farmers, and small business men, around 34,500,000 Marginals, earning most of their livelihood but receiving a little aid in some form, at lea ->t 15,000,000 Submerged idle, mainly on relief 65.000.000 Total 127,000.000 “If we refuse to count as income the relief money gb en to the needy rich and the needy jpoor, our personal incomes can not run above ; $43.625.000,000 —or some similar figure. It distributes about as follows: The upper classes get SIO,OOO each, or $ 5,000.000,000 The middle classes get SIOOO each, or 12,000,000,000 The self-supporting workers, farmers. etc. get SSOO each, or 17,250.000.000 The marginals get S3OO each 0r... 4,500,000,000 The submerged get $75 each, 0r... 4,875.000.000 Total $43,625,000,000 a a a IT is evident that no society with this economic and social exhibit can carry on for very long. Like most sensible persons Professor Pitkin conI tends that it would be easy for capitalism to continue for generations in this country if it could muster even a little enlightened self-in-terest. But he sees little of this in prospect: “Can we Americans give capitalism a fair trial? I do not know. I have grave doubts as to whether we can for at least another generation. When I see some of the self-styled leaders of capitalistic groups denouncing every attempt to bring expert intelligence into the government, I am forced to believe that the greatest enemy of capitalism is the obsolescent capitalist." In his very important oook, “Capitalism and It's Culture,” (Farrar & Rinehart), Professor Jerome Davis gives us what is probably the best readable survey of the impact of capitalism upon ! civilization as a whole. It is not a pleasing pic- | ture, but it is pretty close to the facts. He shows how capitalism reacts upon society, religion. law, government, the press and education. If Professor Pitkin is still a little hopeful of capitalism, John Strachey in his “The Nature of the Capitalist Crisis,” (Covici. Friede), has no doubt that it is on its last legs. The Immigration Department has seen to it that a far larger number of Americans will read of our . national economic weaknesses than would otherwise have been the case. a tt n IN another important Brookings Institution study Dr. Harold G. Moulton analyzes the operation of contemporary capitalistic economics The Formation of Capital,” Brookings Institui non. It should be read along with Lewis Corey's * "The Decline of American Capitalism.” Those who wish an authoritative conventional account | of American banking organization in the last two decades will find it in Lawrence E. Clark's "Central Banking Under the Federal Reserve System,” (Macmillan.) ! Samuel Strauss presents a mellow and interesting prospectus of the “new capitalism' 1 ‘American Opportunity, Little Bron*. an attractive progrzm which has little probability of being tried out in practice. Mr. Osmond K. Fraenkel has edited a number of Justice Brandeis' more notable papers on legal, economic and international topics ("The Curse of Bigness.” i Viking). It reflects both the justice's keen so- : cial conscience and his antipathy to monopolistic tendencies. Those who wish to go to the I bottom of the economic planning problem will 1 do well to read the papers edited by Mary L. Fledderus and Mary Van Kleek, ("EconomicPlanning." Covici. Friede).

He didn't make the I allotment to his mother because he was required to send her part of his pay. i If anybody asked me, I would say | that any soldier who talks the way he docs was wounded before he ! .joined the Army. I was a regular myself and in the Sixteenth Infanj try and I believe I can tell him j something. I did not fight myself | since I was a cook, but I saw those j who did. Nearly all of those in France who did not go to the front were regulars of his type. There were as many drafted babies, as he calls them, as there were regulars in the regular divisions because of the replacements drafted. The children, he says, were afraid to walk post, and I am telling you this and get it straight—some of those drafted babies were under machine gun fire longer than he ever walked a post. There were j regulars as well as others who wor- ! ried about wives and sweethearts. He says he can’t get in the Veterans of Foreign Wars and no doubt j they are not worried because they wouldn't admit a man of his type i even though he were eligible. Their members could walk a post without ; suffering untold agony. In closing, I will say that the infantry boys think more of their drafted buddies than they do of the enlisted kind that roamed from camp to camp to stay at home. a tt a Bv F. A. Shaw.

And he was wounded twice, that’s the one that gets me—but they tell me that our alien camps were sometimes severe and the mess kit knives flew thick and fast, or perhaps his wounds were from flying hatpins of a blond who insisted on eliminating chiselers. Now his remark: “We bovs can't join the V. FW. tGod forbid 1 ' because we weren't overseas.” Well—that's a break for that lance corporal.

HE SOON FOUND OUT

Germany Doesn't Want War

By F. O. As an interested reader of your paper and as a student of modern problems, i am offering the following article to you for publication. The rumors of a Germany preparing joyfully for war arc grotesque, the fruit- of imbecility or conscious falsehood. Notwithstanding the national movement it will never renounce the old German tradition of arms, its virility and valor, or the educational formative school of the army. The third reich has been founded upon the basis of a religious and Christian conception of the world; a moral foundation to any and system of government; a strong central power and authoritative and stable government; an honest and honorable administration; a social sentiment founded on the love of one’s neighbor and respect for all honorable work; for every honest son of toil though he have a ragged coat and horny hands; a

home from Jefferson Barracks, Mo. Then along came the draft and I w*as one of the first called, without claiming any exemption. I passed the examination and served 21 months with the drafted army, but did not go overseas. Now, Mr. Regular Soldier, it did not take me long in the service to find out that the 90 per cent that you speak of were not yellow, but, to be brutally frank, they had more sense than you and I had and I will shake hands with any of them today and say, “Buddie, you were a scholar and a gentleman.” You complain about the hardships of 1917. I went through that, too, and I am not kicking, because I know the boys who were at Chateau Thierry and the Argonne went through much worse. You are kicking because you can’t join the V. F. W. If you were overseas, you are eligible for membership. If you were not. where did you get those two wounds you speak about? Did you fall off your bed while doing “bunk fatigue?” 1 have two boys coming up and should I live to see them face the same kind of a crisis that we faced back in 1917, unless it would be an invasion of our own country, my admonition to them will be. “Wait for the draft.” And I had as many guts as you in 1917. In closing. I want to add if you are not eligible for the V. F. W., why not get that chip off your shoulder and join up with the American Legion, an organization that does not discriminate against either domestic or foreign service? tt tt tt ALL VETERANS SHOULD HAVE NATION’S RESPECT By William M. Easter. We have been called everything from reds to treasury robbers and now we are called cry babies and yellow. If the “Regular Soldier” will look at the records of the various combat divisions he will find out how yellow they were or how much crying was done. He said he had attended their open meetings and al lthey did was brag. The ones he heard, about 93 per cent, never saw any service at all. I am a member of the V. F W. and any time this "Regular Soldier" wants to look at my discharge he Ls at liberty to do so. We have nothing against the domestic service men. It was not their fault that they were not order'd across, but call the soldiers, sailors and marines of the A. E F. cry babies and yellow Ls not to be thought of for one minute. This man does not seem to understand that there were thousands of regular army men in the A. E. F. and also there were many who tried to enlist but were turned

feeling of solidarity, free from all class prejudice, for the whole community; a public life that will be upright in its behavior, decent in its literature and its art. Such ideals are the expression of a movement which means a moral and spiritual reform which desires to liberate and recreate the German soul, stifled under the errors of the pre-war period, the ruins of the war, the dust of the revolution and of international bad faith. With an understanding of the soul of the new Germany, it is difficult to visualize a recreation of the old militaristic regime. No German wishes for war. He who has lived long years in the mud in constant proximity to anguish and death has no wish to renew the agony. The majority of the leaders of the National Socialist organization are ex-service men. These men staked their lives for their country in the World War; today they stake their lives on the reality of national interests which is. after all, the very antithesis of war.

Baa MOTHER PLEADS AGAINST SON GOING TO WAR \ Bv a Mother. There is so much talk of war and | there seems to be a possibility of the United States getting into it. It j is terrifying to all, but mothers will ' know the supreme heartbreak of seeing their young sons, many of them scarcely more than children, marching off, perhaps to be shot down. These boys who have not really lived yet. Who knows what great men some of them might become if only they were allowed to live their lives. War is such an idiotic thing. We might expect better things of the people of this enlightened time. But why must they take the very young boys? They can not vote until they are 21. Why must they be compelled to fight until then? They would hardly know what it was ail about. Won't all the parents and others, too. who are against w-ar write to Washington and say so? I tm themother of a fine son and I am j heartbroken over the very possibility of war. There are so many other equally fine boys who give such promise of valuable manhood later.
