WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 20. 1935. PFAFF-HLGHEL CONVICTIOX /CONVICTION of Myion M. Hughel and Walter P. Pfaff. investment bankers, can not cause any gratification among their fellow citizens on personal grounds but it does prove the intention of the government to enforce integrity among those who handle other people's money. Judge Robert C. Baltzell, in his charge to the jurors, admonished them to be guided by the evidence and not to be swayed by the emotional statements of the attorneys That was as it should be. In matters involving trust, carrying implications for the whole realm of finance, it is necessary to reach decisions on fact. In a number of celebrated cases of financial breakdowns, depriving many persons of their property, too much of the sentimental and emo.ional has been stressed. There is no community revenge in this conviction. Rather there is expressed the community feeling that when people intrust their savings to bankers and brokers they may do so with a feeling that their rights will be respected. THE CURFEW GIRL /CONVICTION of Edith Maxwell, the Virginia mountaineer teacher, for killing her father in self-defense seems incredible. The reports of her trial revealed intolerable abuse at the hands of a drunken parent who invoked the right to whip the girl for staying out late. At this distance, and from a close reading of the testimony, the trail of the lonesome pine is still as primitive as it was when John Fox Jr. described it. Our sympathies are w’ith all the “curfew” girls whose fathers are brutal. Edith did not intend to kill. She tried to protect herself. WHITHER NIPPON? /"VNCE more the military juggernaut of Dai Nippon is rumbling across China. Just how far it will roll before it comes to a stop no man can say. It depends on time, obstacles . . . and opportunity. At this moment, apparently, no power on earth can halt Japan's steady penetration of the Asiatic mainland. At least it is extremely unlikely that any will try. The rest of the world is too occ. pied with troubles nearer home, and China is too feeble. Just how helpless China Is can be discerned quite plainly, both in and between the lines of press dispatches from Tokyo, Shanghai, Peiping and elsewhere in the Far East. At. best the movement in North China is a native revolt to split off five of the country’s richest provinces. At worst, it is the result of intensive Japanese operations systematically carried on for years. If the revolt is purely domestic in origin, as some Japanese bluntly assert, China as a sovereign state has the right to send troops to quell it. If the result of a foreign plot, as observers frankly assert, the League of Nations, Kellogg Pact and all other peace agreements give her the right to defend her national existence. Yet the indications of the moment are that she will avail herself of neither right. Plainly she is afraid. Eleven Japanese divisions are reported in readiness along the border and within China proper to intervene if the central government at Nanking makes a move to ruffle the even tenor of the plan. To the four provinces comprising Manchuria and Jehol, the Japanese apparently are about to add five more. That will make a total of nine lost to China since Japan solemnly signed the nine power pact at Washington safeguarding China’s political and territorial integrity. Os China’s 450.003,000 inhabitants, more than 100,000,000 are now under Japanese domination. What the League of Nations can or will do about it remains to be seen. Nor is the United States expected to take any such aggressive stand as it did when Manchuria was invaded in 1931. But one gigantic power—the Soviet Union, with 165,000,000 people—is watching events in China with ever increasing anxiety. There lies a chief obstacle to Nippon's ambitions. Thence, unless we miss our guess, will come Nippon's first major check. US THERE AN ANSWER? TN the Hoosier Forum on this page today is one of the saddest appeals we have read for months. "Distracted” states m simple English, suggesting education and refinement, the case of wife and mother against the professional gambler. We hope readers of The Times will note carefully what she says and how she says it. We hope also that the city and county law authorities read it. Is there no answer to a plea like hers? We realize the difficulties of preventing the operation of gambling houses. Frobably no city in the state is without at least one. And usually professional gambling has a connection with government. Even if no officials share in the profits there is the element of recognition. In some places in Indiana gambling has been excused on the argument that the patrons are all well-to-do and can afford to lose. Here, evidently, is a family that can not afford to. GEORGE ADE AT 70 QTRANGE to read that George Ade is 70 and is being quoted on hew it feels. To his fellow Hoosiers he seems like Booth Tarkington, ageless. Their views are just as bright and modern as they were 20 years ago and there seems to be no sad backward looking for them. 1 Mr. Ade is quoted on how to be young at 70. His advice is more valuable for persons outside than inside Indiana. For his fellow-citizens know how he does it. One way is to have an Indiana farm and make it a playground for children and anybody else who has a respectable right to use it. Another is to take a fatherly interest in one’s old school. And another is just to be George Ade. SERVING WHOSE INTERESTS? SPOKESMEN for the utility holding companies posed as protectors of their investors when they denounced the regulatory measures before the last Congress. At that time Senator Wheeler, one of the authors of the law, said: “The issue is not the investor's equity, ghe real

issue is the issue of the power trust control of concentrated economic power. The holding company managers and their bankers are fighting nobody's battle but their own. They are fighting to retain their empires, their control over other people's money, other people's property, other people's business, other people s lives.” In the few days that remain between now and Dec. 1. we shall learn more about the real role in which the holding companies have cast themselves. For Dec. l is the deadline fixed by the law for filing utility holding company registrations with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Holding companies which fail to register will thereafter be forbidden by law to engage in interstate business, and will be subject to heavy fines and other penalties. None of the larger holding companies has yet indicated intention to register. Os course any fines and any litigation that may develop—indeed any damage to "stock values that may result—will be paid for by the stockholders, whose interests the holding companies pretend to serve. FOR DECENT HOUSING SENATOR ROBERT F. WAGNER iD., N. Y.), sire of many social reforms both in the New York Legislature and the United States Senate, will make slum-abatement his big fight in the forthcoming session of Congress. He is consulting with the President, Secretary Ickes and others in preparation. Senator Wagner's plan centers on his pending bill to merge the government’s 58 separate housing activities into a Housing Division in the Interior Department. The bid would appropriate $800,000,000 as a revolving fund for low-interest loans to cities lor the razing and replacement of tenements. Senator Wagner believes that only by public credit can slums be tackled successfully. Most of the new homes under PWA and other government agencies will rent at about S7 a room. This is too high, he says. His bill aims at the building of apartments at $4 a room. Other countries have found that private capital is not interested in such low-cost housing, he says, and that the cities, equipped with low-interest, longterm Federal loans, are the only agencies to bring about a real rehousing movement among this class of renters. “We must begin a real attack upon this problem,” the former East Side immigrant boy declares. “So far our efforts have been on too small a scale. These crime-breeding, disease-infested regions must go, and the Federal government must take the lead. To raze these wretched human dwellings, erect decent homes in their place, give idle men work and stimulate industry through a great movement for rehousing working men's families should he the next big undertaking in Washington.” A recent study made for PWA by Dr. Edith Elmer Wood revealed that six million American families live in sub-standard town and city homes. At least 38 per cent of our city and farm families, she said, need rehousing.

STILL TOO HIGH 'T'HE lumbermen are kicking up a terrible row over our tariff concessions to Canada, and it appears that the Republican party welcomes this discontent as providing a ready-made issue with which to attempt the recapture of the Northwest. Let’s look at the record. All lumber and wood products left on the free list by the Fordney-McCumber and the Smoot-Hawley tariff acts are continued on the free list by the new treaty. The duties on other types of lumber and timber —including fir, hemlock, spruce and pine—fcre reduced 50 per cent. Those duties, at present, consist of $1 tariff and $3 import excise—total, $4. The new combined rate will be $2. The Fordney-McCumber act of 1922 left all such lumber and timber on the free list. Thus the new $2 treaty rate is $2 higher than was provided in that Republican tariff schedule. The Smoot-Hawley act of 1930 fixed the rate on these types at sl. Thus the new $2 treaty rate is twice as high as the Smoot-Hawley rate. But twice as much protection as the Smoot-Haw-ley tariff provided apparently is not enough for our lumbermen. They also want to keep that disguised tariff—the $3 import excise which they log-rolled into the 1932 revenue law. That year the Republicans had a majority in the Senate, the Democrats a majority in the House and lobbyists a majority in both chambers. There is one other thing in the record of the United States lumber industry which must be considered in connection with this lumber-tariff controversy. From 1925 to 1929, according to R. F. Marsh, forest economist of the Agriculture Department, the depletion of standing timber in this country was about five times the replacement in new growths. The depletion fell off in the depression years, but is now' under way again. This destruction of a priceless natural resource has to stop. When the lumber industry gets on a farming basis, harvesting no more of our forests than it replaces, it may deserve the protection of the American prop 1 ?. But not until then. A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT By Mrs. Walter Ferguson WOMEN have made a virtue, almost a cult, of worry. To most of us it is not the fearsome menace psychologists name it, but rather an admirable moral quality without which we could never prove to other people our affection for the family. You hear it exalted daily in such words as these, “I simply worry myself sick about Jim,” or “I can’t sleep nights until George is in,” or “Martha’s posture —she stoops so—has actually made a nervous wreck out of me,” or “I cry myself nearly to death over Horace's bad language.” Always behind such expressions is the hint that such worry signifies great devotion. In some circles the capacity to fret is interpreted as the capacity to love. Now it's no use saying women have nothing to give them alarm these days. We live in an age of accident and sudden death. Calamity, when it overtakes us, often does so from a clear sky. But what a wonderful thing it W'ould be if women could realize that worry about the family doesn't do the family any good; that crying over a naughty chiid doesn't make it a good child; and that walking the floor every time the man of the house doesn't show up promptly for dinner has never yet kept masculine eyes from straying. Quite the contrary—when it is over-indulged in, worry is a disease which destroys the mind that harbors it. And many a woman has worried her family sick as well as herself. You know as well as I do that the Federal government can't go on pouring out 55.000.000,000 a year in soothing sirup to keep the unemployment imp from raising hell all over this nation.—Gen. Hugh Johnson. Where is neutrality when wheat goes to $2 a bushel and cotton 30 cents a pound?—Bernard M. Baruch, questioned about neutrality laws.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Squaring The Circle With McCREADY HUSTON

SINCE this department was begun in The Times there has been some curiosity as to how the title came to be. Well, when you are .hinking about starting a local column you look around your town and try to decide what is characteristic. It seemed to some of us in the shop that Indianapolis was noted for its Circle and the expression most common with reference to a circle is to square it. So that is how and why. a a a The Circle itself is a curious place about which I intend to know more. For example, the realism of the sculpture on the Monument. In the agricultural group one discerns real farm-hand suspenders done in immortal rock, and also buttons. No mythological Ceres there, but the real, so-to-speak, McCoy. Then there are the faces carved in the of the English block which, my informants tell me, are the ancestors of the builder.

'T'HEY really did a job on war memorials in the years immediately following the difficulty between the states. They took their chisels and mallets and produced in heroic size men who were actually men, even to the wrinkles in the tails of the generals’ frock coats. I doubt very much if a modern sculptor could do as good a piece of custom tailoring as one finds on a Civil War monument or on the Hendricks figure in the Statehouse yard. What I started out to say about the Circle is that the founders intended it to be the site of the Governor's mansion. But after a trial it was found that a Governor could not have the proper gubernatorial privacy with a public road running all around his house, with the early Hoosiers looking in the windows while he was eating supper. So the mansion became a public building dedicated to some less private use and later this gave way to what we call the Monument. ana nnODAY’S Governor’s mansion is A not a mansion at all but simply a good-looking house out north, such as a fellow in the five-thou-sand-dollar bracket was encouraged to buy on the installment plan in the good old days of Coolidge. It is not pretentious and yet it offers Paul McNutt the necessary protection from the weather. The real curio in Governor’s mansions is in Harrisburg, Pa., overlooking the lordly Susquehanna. It even has the great seal of the commonwealth carved in brown stone. Its Victorian grandeur inside was so Dverpowering that when the smart young wife of the New Deal Governor, George Earle, took a look at it she screamed and sent for a contractor and decorator. The result was a job of remodeling that makes it possible for the Earles to live there without losing their reason. Fortunately for Mrs. Earle, a Pennsylvania Governor can not succeed himself. ana A geography of Indianapolis is supposed to be quite simple, but that is merely a legend. A certain prominent man whose name I am forbidden to use gave up trying to learn the way from his office to his dwelling in Golden Hill. And so large were the dividends at that period he simply got a chauffeur. He said that if he had to try to learn the way home he would have no time left for earning the dividends.

OTHER OPINION [Newcastle Courier-Times) Co-operative farm supply buying it not anew thing, having been in existence in one form or another for over 70 but in recent years has been spreadmg rapiuly. For instance, the farm credit administration, estimates that of the $2,000,000,000 worth of supplies used by farmers in growing and marketing their crops annually, approximately $250,000,000, or one-eighth is now purchased co-operatively. The purchases include such farm supplies as feed, seed, fertilizer, containers, spray materials, twine and petroleum products. The farmer, like the manufacturer, seeks to keep down the cost of production and has turned to the co-operative as one way to bring this about. Tracing the growth of co-opera-tive farm supply buying, the farm credit administration points out that a number of purchasing associations were started by general farm organizations. National Standards (Herbert Hoover) As I have increased in years and in opportunity to study the affairs of governments. I have made a very simple, but vital observation. That is that a government should have in financial matters the same standards that an honorable man has. A government must realize that money must be earned before it is spent, that a nation's word in finance must be sacredly kept, that a nation is immoral if it repudiates its obligations or inflates its mediums of exchange or borrows without regard to posterity; and, finally, that a nation which violates these simple principles will, like a man, end in dishonor and disaster.

THAT OUGHT TO SLOW HIM UP

The Hoosier Forum 1 wholly disapprove of what you say—and iviU defend to the death your right to say it. — Voltaire.

I Times readers are invited to expres their views in these columns, relit/ions controversies excluded. Make uour letters short, so all can have a chance. Limit them to 250 icords or less. Your letter must be sinned, but names will be withheld on rei,uest.i a a a INQUIRES: HOW ELSE CAN ITALY GET TERRITORY? By Joseph Romano To the League Against Imperialistic Wars and those w’ho claim to be working for the cause of peace and justice: It is universally admitted that Italy’s need of territorial expansion is urgent. So being the case, instead of criticising her present plans and favoring sanctions against her, it would be much better for the sake of peace and justice to propose a better plan by which she may be able to receive the much-needed territory and mineral resources. Until such is done, you have no right to criticise Italy's present plans. It is unfortunate so many of us are selfish enough to think of our own well being, disregarding the needs of others. a a a SOLUTION TO GAMBLING PROBLEM SOUGHT By Distracted I would like to point out to Hoosier Forum readers a matter most vital to many Indianapolis wives, mothers and children. I hope that you will give me space in your column for this item. How many actually know the extent of open gambling in this city? I find that a certain element of our citziens are as skeptical about the extent of gambling in this city, as some were about bootleg liquor before repeal of prohibition. Actual existence is the same in both cases. During many years in this city my husband made better than the average salary. The depression came along and made the struggle really hard. All these years he has frequented gambling places in this city regularly and has lost more than 50 per cent of his income. Naturally, I learned to recognize a good many operators of such places, and have spoken many times to them, asking that they not permit my husband to gamble. I even explained to them the tragedy they were bringing to my home and to our children, who suffer from my husband’s gambling. But do you suppose they cared or thought enough about that to carry out my request? No. They even tried to flirt with me while I talked to them. We who have suffered from and have investigated such conditions knew of many openly conducted gambling places operating right now in this city. They are raided occasionally. But only wide publicity follow's such raids. Those guilty of operating such places are released when the public has forgotten. Right now dice games are conducted daily right dow’ntown, on N.

More citizens are affected than generally is suspected. We are told by those in high positions that nothing can be done about it, because our police are benefactors of such illegal places. Can’t constant and serious vigilance be accomplished in some way to break up such havoc-spreading practices when they are right under our loafing policemen’s noses? We are told,'"Report them to the authorities.” I have done that many times without results. They claim I can't prove charges unless I gamble myself, or bring someone in that has. They know both are unreasonable things to suggest. What is to be done about it? a a a SEES CAUSE FOR CHEERS IN SOCIALIST VICTORIES By a Reader We should take our hats off to those citizens of Bridgeport, Conn., and Reading, Pa., who were responsible for the sweeping Socialist victories in those municipalities. They acted as truly vigilant Americans should act “when any government becomes destructive” (or threatens to become destructive) of those “inalienable rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Well, the 1936 elections are approaching. Perhaps we’ll do better then. a a a LIQUOR LAWS QUESTIONED BY LAWYER By Member Indiana Bar The new liquor control law limits the number of those who may “import” liquor from other states. This reminds one of European state lines, with their restrictions on commerce between commercial baronys. What right has an American state to interfere with “interstate” commerce? How can this privilege be ’imited to a politically selected group? If the liquor traffic is like any other business and entitled to do business like any other business, why should it be specially licensed, different from the publishing business or the clothing business? If it is not a business like any other, what right has a Legislatuie to license it? The United States Supreme Court ruled in the Louisiana lottery case that no Legislature had “power to barter away the public health, peace or morals.” The death toll due to semi-intoxicated drivers indicates a serious interference by the liquor traffic in public health. Neither does it improve public morals, or the peace of the community. Constitutionally speaking, the traffic that is “per se” illegal from the “moral code” that underlies the Constitution, now is made legal in violation of the basic moral law on which all orderly government rests. Why tax a business if it is like any

punctured by yellow jackets, wasp! or other insects. Concords frequently crack after a dry spell, or as the result of a hailstorm, and honey bees will work on these. Q —Do stag-horn or elk-horn ferns grow in Brazil, south America? A—They are restricted to the Old World tropics, except a species of the genus which is found in Bolivia. Q—What is Element No. 85, and what are its sources? A—lt is commonly referred to as ekaiodine, but has been named alabamine by Dr. Fred Allison of Alabama Polytechnic Institute. It exists in sea water, fluorite, apatite, monazite sand (Brazilian), kainite, potassium bromide, hydrofluoric acid and hydrochromic acid. Q—Did Napoleon say, “An army, like a snake, travels on its belly”? A—The epigram was coined by Frederick the Great, and is often wrongly attributed to Napoleon. Q —Name the last three Governors of Colorado. A—Clarence J. Morley, William H. Adams and Ed C. Johnson, the present incumbent. Q —Where in the Bible is the verse, “Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many doys”? A—Ecclesiastes xi, - _

other, or what right have we to license it if it violates our basic moral law? We also have “protected” prostitution. a a a SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH RADIO By Vincent Lopez, New York I wonder whether radio isn’t a trifle too effete? The legitimate theater had its Wilson Mizner, W’ilton Lackey and John Drew; the world of literature has its Jim Tully and Hollywood its Garbos and Von Sternbergs. All of these people have had or still possess lusty, glamorous or colorful personalities which are responsible for a misty tradition which has been and will be built up around them long after they have vanished from the field they conquered. Therefore, as a radio performer nayself, it is disheartening to speculate upon the paucity of such corresponding individuals in the radio world. Os all the current crop of air entertainers—and there are countless excellent ones—l don't believe there is one whose exploits will live behind him for any length of time. I don’t know whether it’s due to censorship or the peculiarities ot radio, but this phase of the arts is not establishing any traditions. a a a MEASURING THE VALUE OF DAY’S WORK By Henry N. Host At the close of the day’s work let us not measure our success so much in dollars and cents, but in deeds of love for our fellow men. LOVELY THING BY MAUD COURTNEY WADDELL Out on drab bush Stripped of all leaves A gay cardinal In vivid red Lifts up his head To look within My shadowed room.

Washington Merry-Go-Round

BY DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN. TIT ASHINGTON, Nov 20.—As the ’ European ring around Italy tightens, the complete inside story of the facts behind the Romah tragedy gradually is unfolded. Even official reports, voluminous as they have been, have left several blank spots in the Italian picture. It was known to the United States War Department, for instance, that some time around May, the Italian general staff submitted to Mussolini a highly discouraging report regarding the time and expense of conquering Abyssinia. It was also known then that II Duce was heading into domestic storms. Not onlV was there a growing subterranean criticism of him, but his financial structure was headed for the rocks. He hack been running into debt at a rate which would have evoked cries of horror from Liberty League Italians, had any political party save his own Fascists been allowed to function. a a a FURTHERMORE. Mussolini’s system of planned economy, higher tariffs, plus lower tourist expenditures and decreased emigrant remittances, was running Italy's international balance deeper in the red every year. Mussolini was up against it both politically and economically, and as an alternative he chose the precedent followed for centuries by the Caesars before him—conquest. But the unfortunate fact—from Mussolini’s viewpoint—was that up until early summer the Italian public was anything but enthusiastic about the idea of conquest. a a a AT which point enters that nart of the picture, not fully realized hitherto, namely that Mussolini proceeded to use the English as a drum-beat to lead his armies into Abyssinia. Prior to that time there had been no anti-English sentiment in tha Italian press. Nor had there been any outburst against Italy in Great Britain. References in the LondrtA press were mild and casual. Capt. Anthony Eden had even gone to bat for Mussolini during the negotiations with the Abyssinian delegate at Geneva. But suddenly, out of a clear sky, the Italian press flared forth against England. Only those familiar with the way the Fascist press operates can appreciate the significance of such a blast. Under this system, all editors are required to take their cue from the editorials of certain designated spokesmen. Usually this spokesman is Mussolini’s own paper, Popolo dltalia. a a a IN launching the blast against Britain, however, the spokesman was Signor Virginia Gayda, of Giornale d'ltalia, partly because hre is an English expert and partly because anti-British castigations ; n Mussolini's own paper would have brought the campaign mo close to home. Giornale d'ltalia, therefore, launched a vituperative story of British imperialistic atrocities, persecutions, tortures, drugging and poisoning of rebels. The entire press of Italy followed, even the comic papers. Protests by Sir Eric Drummond, British ambassador, were unheeded. And it was only after this that the British press caught fire. The result in Italy was a conviction that the British were the natural enemies of Italy, that they had determined to throttle Italy's natural growth, that they themselves yearned for the prize of Abyssinia. In fact, Italian public opinion has now come to the point where it even does not consider Italy the aggressor in Abyssinia, but as the potential victim of a robbery by England. Italians consider themselves the oppressed, just as they did when they struggled to liberate themselves from Austria and the Papacy. Thus Mussolini got what he wanted. Whether he also wanted, or even expected, such vehement retaliation by Great Britain only he can answer. But when the final story of the Italian tragedy is written, one of the most important chapters will be a description of how a national propaganda machine, in full control of the press, remade the viewpoint of the Italian people.
