FATHER COUGHLIN’S ATTACK TN his Sunday night radio address, the Rev. * Charles E Coughlin denounced the New Deal for playing into the hands of the "money changers.” His language was as vitriolic as that used by the same "money changers” when they denounce the Roosevelt Administration for playing into the hands of the "money magicians"—for whom Father Coughlin is the most persistent prophet. Father Coughlin’s criticism was quite as unfair as any that has yet come from the lips of the reactionaries. The latter have bitterly condemned the President for his labor and other social reform legislation, have fought him with every weapon at their command and have accused him of being motivated not by a desire to make democracy more workable, but by an intention to deliver a free people into the clutches of labor groups, for political gain. Father Coughlin expressed opposite suspicions. Because NRA had been held unconstitutional and because the President had sponsored other legislation which apparently will be called unconstitutional. Father Coughlin said he had been "led to suspect that the labor legislation enacted by this government was another phase of a sham battle to protect plutocracy at the expense of the Supreme Court's prestigr." "Perhaps.” he said, "a wrong unconstitutional method was chosen intentionally to deceive the laborer and to tide over the period of recovery without legislating lasting reform." Without commenting on the propriety ol such insinuations, we might, observe that it is one thing to broadcast your personal views to an audience which can't ask embarrassing questions. And it is quite another thing to sit in the White House and try to reconcile the conflicting interests in a nation of 125 million people. If pressure groups and self-elected leaders keep on breaking away from the New Deal because they can t get everything they want, the President may soon be without the support of anybody—except the peoples. THE EDITORS FOREGATHER 7 ''HAT party of Hoosier editors for Col. Frank Knox yesterday smacked of old times. Eugene C. Pullman of Lebanon not only did a good job of inviting, but, more than that, he succeeded in getting a formidable group of editors there. And when James Eli Watson made his well-timed entrance, just as the meeting was getting under way, it was like a scene in the Columbia Club when men were men and Republicans were Republicans. Some of the old, familiar faces were missing, but enough of the stalwarts were present to make certain that there will be two parties in the field next year. It was a successful gathering. Editors from the wind-swept dunes of Lake Michigan to the waters of the beautiful Ohio responded with a right good will to meet Col Knox and east a wistful eye toward 1036 A READY WEAPON \ MONO the statements in the preamble of the Indiana Liquor Control Act of 1935 is that it is the intention of the act "to prohibit forever the open sa'oon " However, so much power is granted the Excise Commissioner and his board that this prohibition is virtually dead so far as the larger centers are concerned. The law is being administered with flexibility. Some persons object to the apparent hypocrisy of the act. saying that if thp saloon is to be permitted in its present form the provision should be elimina: and from the law. Others argue that as long as the prevision is th re it is a weapon in the hands of the people. If the salcon becomes flagrant the weapon can be used, should public opinion demand it. Dr. Oxnam, the able president of De Pauw. alluded recently to the dangers of some of the evident abuses by the people of their new freedom to drink. Those abuses are shared by some customers and some dealers. One need not go as far as Dr. Oxnam in condemnation to agr°e that abuses do exist which, if not abated, may return the state to the dry column. For t hat reason it seems prudent to keep the saloon prohibition in the law. It may be necessary to invoke that provision. A BRAVE INDIANA BOY 'T'HAT was a sad but significant story which came out of Monon, Ind., telling of a 9-year-old boy living in a shelter of tin from lard cans in the midst of a corn field. Unhappy at home, he fled to the outdoors and proceeded to take care of himself. The story was significant because it illustrated the eternal resourcefulness of the very young. Juvenile officers now have charge of the boy. They will see that he is and, clothed, sent to school and protected from further cruelty. A boy with enough courage to sleep in the fields under a contrived protection must have good stuff in him. Given a chance he will succeed in life. As for the conditions which deprived him of a proper home, they, in the mass, in the cities and in rural communities, offer a problem of reconstruction which can keep our Federal, state and local governments busy for years. GIVING WITHOUT HURTING yi/’E made a great concession to Panada, it is * ’ said, when we agreed to reduce our tariff on bonded 4-year-old whisky from $5 to 52.50 a gallon. . Canada is repoited to have more than 20 million gallons of aged whisky available for export after Jan. I—the date the new rate becomes effective. We gave up something, did we? Let us see howmuch 'he giving is apt to hurt us. Almost all of these Canadian stocks are Amer-ican-type whisky, made by American p-e-prohibi-tton formulas. Much of it was made from American grains, and is owned by American interests—and our concession to Canada will give to those interests a chance to sell at attractive prices in the American market. I’ will give our Federal Treasury greatly increased customs receipt's. Legal goods will take the place of bootleg goods. If will give to licensed American liquor dealers a chance to reduce prices and compete on a more /'

even footing w-ith the smuggling and bootlegging syndicates 'o whom the present high tariff gives an advantage of about Sls a case. And it will give to millions of American consumers who heretofore have not been able to afford th® best whisky a cha ice to buy it. It will give all o' that and will still leave to the American distilling industry a protective tariff amounting to more than 300 per cent of the cost of production THE RACKET TRIBUTE I EDGAR HOOVER'S comments on the enormous ** income revealed by the account books of a slain racketeer were distinctly to the point. When a singlecriminal can take in $6,000,000 in a year one wonders about the total takings of all men living by their wits and their ability to terrorize others. What Mr. Hoover hopes to do is to get enough G -men and enough in his budget to do with rackets what he did with kidnaping. But the cities and states should not be impotent. They have laws and prosecutors competent at least to make some inroads in the racketeers. If men have to pay levies amounting to many millions for the privilege of doing business unmolested, it is a sign that local self-government has abdicated. “ENGLAND'S MOST HATED MAN” T RAMSAY MACDONALD, thrice Prime Minister ** of Great Britain, appears hopelessly crushed by the general elections of Thursday. "Today,” he commented after it was all over, "I am Just a tired, old man.” Once the nero of Laborites, a trick of fate has caused him to go down to the bitterest defeat of his career before another Laborite and to fall with the epithet of -'traitor” ringing in his ears. Few political careers have been more colorful. Born in Scotland, as he himself expresses it, "in a but. and ben" 'a one-room hut with a kitchen), he has known wnat it means to go hungry. Yet his qualities lifted him to the position of chief adviser to King and country and made him a familiar figure in England's marble halls. From a Socialist on a soap-box, he became Britain's first Laborite Premier in 1924 and a second time in 1929. Then, in 1931, splitting with his Labor associates over the budget, he formed a "National Cabinet” by calling in Tories and Liberals. In the subsequent elections the country upheld his course, but both Labor and Liberal parties almost were-wiped out. Thus many of his fotmer followers came to regard him as a traitor. But none vvho really know him well would call him that. Throughout a long and apparently inconsistent career, he was true at least to his own convictions. A pacifist during the World War, a London newspaper described him "the most hated man in England.” The crew' of a British ship struck rather than carry him across the North Sea to a peace conference at The Hague. Ironically, he went to defeat supporting the Tory demand for rearmament. His argument was that the League of Nations is vital to world peace and the support of a powerful Britain is imperative if the League is to survive. Today Mr. MacDonald is aging. He is more than half blind and his health is said to be failing. But one more honor is almost certain to be his. King George will probably make him a peer, the Laird of Lossiemouth. But the bitterness of being "misunderstood.” he likely will carry with him not only to retirement. but to his grave. Doubtless there have been abler statesmen in the history of Britain but certainly few more sincere. If he has reached his political end, it is too bad it had to come this way. THE CHRISTMAS CLUBS OINCE fewer banks offered Christmas savings service than in 1934 the total to be distributed is under that of last year. But the banks giving the privilege report an average increase of 17 per cent. This is an indication of the improvement in wageearning and also of faith in thrift. For a time, during the depression, there was a defeatist attitude. One heard people say that it was useless to save. They had saved and lost. They had lost homes, bank accounts, life insurance. They said let us spend and enjoy what we earn. Many persons must have recovered from that sorry mental condition, judging from 'he report of the Christmas club distribution. They have reverted to normal. They have new faith in frugal and honest living, with a surplus in the bank and tangible property to sustain them. A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT By Mrs. Walter Ferguson T HOPE you have not failed to note that the Big -*■ Bov of Europe is beginning to crawfish in his theories about women. Not long ago he was bawling at them to go back to the kitchen where, by dictatorial and divine will, they belonged. This, said the daring Duce, is man's world, where the inferior sex should stick to domestic trades. Not only did he say this, but by official ultimatum he put it into effect. Yet now. w-ith hundreds of thousands of his men shipped off to Africa, he finds himself shorthanded in business, and so. with the inconsistency natural to men on this subject, he reverses himself and orders many Italian women back into industry. This is neither unexpected nor unusual. Wars can not be won or waged without the help of women. The sounding of the drums does two revolutionary things; it orders men to battle and women into business. When that time comes, all the twaddle about feminine inferiority is silenced. If father is a warrior, mother automatically becomes a wage-earner. Home then is nothing but a pretty word: the care of children, always so important at other times, sinks into insignificance. Times without number women have been asked to make these lightning changes in their life roles. In no .nstance have they falied to respond. Then almost invariably when war is over, they are forced to submit to their age-old humiliations. Strangely changed, the voice of their country becomes the voice of the tyrant or of a collection of tyrants. The majority of males, from dictator down to dad, regards such farcical behavior as a highly intelligent procedure, and the pity is that women themselves have failed to resent it as it should be resented. In days of slipshod English and spread of American slang and journalese, there is no surer safeguard against the decay of taste than a mind well stored with beautiful utterance.--R. P H. B. Lyon, Rugby headmaster. When Hitler began. Germany lay prostrate at the feet of the allies. We may yet see the day when what is left of Europe will be prostrate at the feet of Germany.—Winston Churchill. The middle class of people is like the temperate zone; the creative strength of the world is there.— The Rev. Dr. H E. Fosdick, New York City. Whatever has been accomplished in comfort and worldly happiness in the last 70 years has come from the English-American and German people in spite of the late World War.—Dr. Hans Grimm, German econon^ist -author.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Squaring The Circle With McCREADY HUSTON

CHESTER R. MONTGOMERY. State Securities Commissioner, is one of the most interesting men in public life. He has held many offices —judge, prosecutor and mayor among them. He carries the scars of many campaigns and has been in and out of many conven- | tions. For a man who has been honored so much by the citizens, Chester is seen less than the average officeholder. He likes to see the people he has to see at night; and if you do not watch him he will keep you up all night talking. He also enI joys calling on some political friend in the evening to take him for a j walk. Most politicians prefer to take their friends for a ride. u a a Much as I enjoy the man I can remember winter nights when I felt like letting the furnace go out so : that Chester would decide to go | home. At state conventions and state ! committee meetings, he tends to keep out of sight. His influence is felt but the influencer is not seen. John B. Chester, once one of Indiana's best political reporters and i now secretary to Representative | Sam Pettengill, says that once at the Claypoo) during a convention Montgomery had a devious route from his room to the freight elevators. out through those mysteri- ! ous regions of storerooms and ! kitchens Montgomery and John j would go on their errands of state- | craft. a tt a CAM PETTENGILL, of the Third | District, is a poet of some ability and a fellow of sly humor. Once when I was in Washington I called : on Sam and was complimenting him ; on the office space and appointments of Representatives. “Yes,” said Sam; "but the Senators’ offices are the ones I like.” e a tt A visitor was complaining recently | that Indianapolis does not have enough places for dancing. What he meant was night clubs. I could not enlighten him about the comparative standing as night clubs are rather off my beat. However, in my limited experience I never yet saw a city that could not provide for any emergency as long as the customer had the money. The Circle now has some of its | best night club agents investigating j and if it is found that the city 1 la.gs in places where men and women may renew their youth we j shall make a report to the Chamber ! of Commerce. It may be that in the present i j stage of appreciating the new deal j | in liquor, customers think that hav- ! { ing to get up and dance between j | rounds would be a waste of time. b a tt TJ'OUR members of Congress spoke ; at a single dinner in the city the other night. We thought the law- prohibited cruel and unusual punishments. tt tt tt A young lady says that the Fall! j Creek bridges by twilight make her | think of Paris. When such civic spirit exists, how can Indianapolis | fail? OTHER OPINION [Shelbyville Republican] DERNARR MACFADDEN charged i that the Washington Adminis- ! tration had appropriated billions of j dollars of United States money to j buy elections. He maae the charge in an address j before the Columbia Club. He said: "A colossal sum of nearly $5,000,- | 000,000 has been given to the Democratic Administration and it has taken for granted that this money j - will be used, at least indirectly, for j campaign purposes. The present Administration wants to be elected in 1936." Mr Macfadden is handing us old news. We know about it—have ; known about it for the last year. We have seen Federal programs started in areas where it seemed likely that certain of the Presi- j dent's friends would meet with defeat. We have seen big appropria- j tions spent in various areas just before elections. There is one bit of news, how- : ever, that we would appreciate re- j ceiving—how the bill is to be paid. a tt tt iLafayette Journal and Courier) It is common talk in Washington that. Senator Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky is slated to succeed Homer S. Cummings as Attorney General. | Cummings has not turned out to ! bt much of an asset to the Administration. He is loyal and well | meaning, but he hasn't “rung the 1 bell” as a Cabinet member. He has j something of a reputation as an as- ; tute politician, but he hasn’t the gift i of publicity. Even his political astuteness is a trifle questionable. He was Demo- ' cratic national chairman at one time, but the Democrats lost under his chairmanship. Probably he understands New England, but maybe not the remainder of the country, j Also, he lost the Administration's case in defense of NRA's constitu- j | tionality. It is the consensus of j j chatter in New Deal circles that he * bungled it.

Perkins I read your paper every night and I read of the good that your paper does for the people. I have no political power to help me, but I am going to ask you to be a good sportsman and see if you can see the same possibilities in the Martin County land project as I can. Your paper said that 30,000 acres would be bought and more than 1000 men would be put to work clearing this tract and building roads through it. Then it would be turned over to the Indiana State Conservation Department. We now have in the state several large parks which are the best in the country. They are fixed to suit the traveler, or the man that wants to take an outing and not have to get out of his machine. I would like to see this 30,000-acre tract in Martin County cleared of all dead trees, a fire road built around it and a fence of not over two smooth wires put around it. Close all roads that cross it, allow only a fire tower and warden’s cottage to be built on it. Let the tract grow wild, and let the wild game live in it as they want. Wouldn’t this be a swell place to go camping? You could leave your car outside and carry all your equipment to your camping on some nice creek or river. You could sit in front of your tent and enjoy the wild life as it is. You would be away from the sound of the autos and the loud voices of people.

Questions and Answers

Q—How old is Noel Coward? Is he married? A—He is 35 and unmarried. Q —How was the vibration of the Empire State Building in New York measured? A—By means of an optical instrument, a vertical collimeter, located on the sixth floor and sighted on an illuminated target on the 86 floor. A camera was arranged to take photographs that would show whether the building swayed as much as one-quarter of an inch. Q—Who invented the first vacuum bottle? A—Sir James Dewar, a British physicist, is creditad with the invention, although his bottles were too fragile for use outside of laboratories. The first vacuum bottle for general use was invented by Reinhold Burger of Berlin, Germany, in 1904. Q —Under what law was the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation incorporated? A—The corporation was created by special act of Congress. Q —Was the late Will Rogers graduated by a college? A—He was educated at Willie Hassel’s School, Neosho, Mo., and Kemper Military Academy. Booneville. He dis not receive a college degree. Q —Give the 1934 hourly statistics for births and deaths in the United States. A—Births. 2*6.44. and deaths, 159.46.

A PAINFUL COROLLARY

1934? We are still unemployed. Some say it was because they couldn't keep the old men working unless the younger men were laid off. Now I understand they are even working on Saturday. If you talk to some of these men they will say, “It’s not our fault you men were laid off. We want them to call you in and let every one have a living. We don’t want to work on Saturday.” If you talk to the big shots they say, "It’s not our fault. We would like to call you men back.” What I can't understand is how they can work these men on Saturday without calling us men in. We married men with families were buying our homes and we have lost them. We have worked 12 and 13 years out there, and learned our trade. We were bumped off right when we needed work to save our homes. It looks to me as if some of these men that have been working steadily could take a furlough and let some of us fellows that haven’t had a pay day for almost 17 months have a chance to square ourselves up a little. If some of the old men out there who have their homes paid for, and money saved, could be laid off and let some of us fallows who are trying to get a living have a chance, working conditions would be better for us all. So let me hear how some more of the men that were laid off in July, 1934. feel about this. To see your family go half-starved, and to lose your home and everything you have strived to have doesn’t seem fair to us. B tt tt EVIDENTLY DIDN’T LIKE MACFADDEN’S SPEECH By D. Yaver Bernarr Macfadden had his moment on the radio Tuesday night and he should be tendered the Nobel prize for putrid addresses. Why the air lanes should be clogged with such s'ereotyped rubbish is beyond conception. Here in real life is a replica of the Fascist characters in Sinclair Lewis’ latest book. “It Can’t Happen Here.” Bulging biceps may have considerable virtue, but such muscular achievement above the ears seems to be fatal. Pro-Administrationists who chanced to catch the unannounced address must have wallowed in

to death for breaking the commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy and refrain from work? A—Numbers 15:32. Q—Should co-operative be spelled with a hyphen? A—Yes. Q —What is the full names of Joe Louis? A—Joe Louis Barrow. Q —What is the capital of Florida? A—Tallahassee. Q —Name the principal exports from the United States to Germany and France in 1934. A—To Germany, cotton, mineral oil, fruits and nuts, lard, chemical products and refined copper; to France, cotton, mineral oils, machinery, fruits and nuts, tobacco and manufactures, and refined copper. Q—How many persons are shot, and how many commit suicide by firearms in the United States annually? A—ln 1934 there were 7702 homicides and 7296 suicides by firearms. Q —With what date in our calendar did Sept. 27, 1916, in the old Russian calendar correspond? A—Oct. 10, 1916. The Old Russian calendar was 13 days behind our calendar. Q —What is the source of anahne? A—-It is an oily poisonous basic liquid, colorless when pure, obtainable by the distillation of indigo, coal, etc., but now chiefly made by the reduction of nitrobenzene. It may be regarded as ammonia in which one hyd r ogen atom has been replaced by the radical phenyl.

I'm a poor man and therefore know no "prominent” citizens. I'm just one of the forgotten men. In all fairness you should have printed alongside your front page story, "Forgotten men need not apply.” Perhaps if I could have obtained the okay of Mr. Pfaff and Mr. Hughel, I could have made the grade.

Washington Merry-Go-w Round

BY DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN. ASHINGTON Nov. 19 —A the scenes for hundreds of business concerns which sell goods and services to the government. The Guffev Coal Act requires government agencies to buy mal only from companies which are operating under the code provided in the Guffey Act. Few know, however, that there is a section 14-a> in the Act —slipped in just before it passed—that bars the awarding of government contracts to all industrial concerns that do not use code coal. Under the spurring of the Bituminous Coal Board, th? Procurement Division of the Treasury moving to put this sweeping clause into effect. Several davs ago it held a secret conference of government purchasing agents to discuss the framing of anew contract form for Federal buying. The effect of this provision is farreaching in the extreme. It means that concerns selling shoes, shirts, food to the Army and Navy; utilities supplying electricity to postoffices; building contractors, steel makers, warship builders, railroads carrying mail; in short, practically all industry must use code coal or do without government business. The leverage this specification gives the Coal Board in forcing coal operators to sign the code is terrific—which is exactly why u was eased into the law The effect of the clause is to cut off non-com-plying coal companies from a vast volume of business, something which few will, or can, long resist. tt tt a A STRANGER walked into ihe office of Senator Moore, of New Jersey, the other day and asked to see him. ‘The Senator is not in the city.” said Jack O’Brien, his secretary. "What, did you want, to see him about? perhaps I can help you. ’ “I'm trying to get a job and I’d like a letter of recommendation to the Bureau of Self-Control.” “The Bureau of what?” * The Bureau of Self-Control.” It finally developed that the caller wanted a job in the Bureau of Space. Control, which assigns office space in government buildings. a a a THE Home Owners Loan Corp. is undergoing a quiet metamorphosis. Once a $3,000,000,000 savior of distressed home owners, it is now becoming a hard-boiled forecloser of mortgages. The change in character is not due to a sudden accession of hardheartedness. The HOLC is operating wholly in line with the law. With the exhaustion of its lending resources, the agency is now occupied chiefly with administering the 900,000 pieces of property on which the government made loans. In fulfilling this function, the HOLC is finding it necessary to foreclose on homes at the rate of 150 to 200 weekly, due to failure 10 meet payments, abandonment of property and other causes. To handle this crowing liquidation problem the HOLC has set up anew section, the property management division. In charge is Col. Harold Lee, former New York lawyer and real estate operator, who won his colonelcy overseas with the Thirty-sixth Division. The rate of foreclosures is now running one to every 4000 homes mortgaged. Total liquidations to date are around 2000, of which the HOLC still has about 400 on its hands. Homes taken over bv the government are disposed of either by renting or by selling through real estate agencies in the local communities. The disposition of the properties is so handled that, real estate values are not disturbed. tt U tt IT looks as if Dr. John R. Brinkley. famous goat-gland specialist of Kansas, has finally licked the State Department and the Federal Communications Commission in his fight to broadcast his medicinal cures from Mexico. The Mexican Supreme Court has given Dr. Brinkley the right to reopen his radio station. The State Department, which lodged vigorous protests with the Mexican government, has decided that it can not go beyond the Mexican Supreme Court Note—Charley Curtis, when Vic* President, went to bat for Dr. Brinkley in his fight with the State Department.
