TUESDAY NOVEMBER 26. 1935

THE SUPREME COURT AND AAA VV/'HILE a temporary injunction ordinarily is nothing unusual in court procedure, the sharp to 3 Supreme Court division in the farm processing tax case may have a significance that is deep and wide. The division was on Conservative versus Liberal lines. There seem to be three possible developments. The court. In its final ruling on AAA litigation, expected next month, may uphold the validity of the processing taxes and the Administration’s farm program. In that event, the program w r hich arrested more than a decade of distress, restoring the purchasing power of America’s farm population and pointing the way to balanced and economically profitable agriculture, will be continued, on a pay-as-you-go basis. The court may hold processing taxes unconstitutional, but not invalidate the program as such. In that event, the “gentle rain of checks’’ will continue. Farmers who entered into and carried out acreage restriction contracts with the government will continue to receive benefit payments. For a while money to finance these payments could come from relief funds already appropriated by Congress. But eventually other sources of revenue will have to be tapped to provide the half billion dollars annually required to keep the program operating and conservatives who applaud the decision will have only a brief triumph, for much of the substitute revenue probably will be obtained by higher income and estate taxes. The court may hold both the processing taxes and the benefit payments unconstitutional, definitely denying to Congress the right to spend money for such a purpose, regardless of the source of revenue. If that happens, the issue of the adequacy of our Federal Constitution will be catapulted spectacularly into the 1936 presidential campaign. That issue threatened momentarily when NRA was demolished and then interest in it subsided when forces of economic recovery took hold, to brighten the industrial picture. But, we believe, there will be nothing momentary about the revived interest in this issue if the Supreme Court tosses the AAA program into the constitutional waste basket. After more than a century of being exploited and discriminated against by industry benefiting from a perfectly constitutional protective tariff, American farmers found in the AAA an equivalent of the tariff, and they are not apt to give it up without a fight. If yesterday's 6 to 3 Supreme Court vote proves a forecast of the ultimate and complete junking of AAA we predict a rural political rebellion that will make the Bryan-McKinley battle of '96 look like a skirmish. LABOR LOOKS AT ITSELF 'T'HE resignation of coal miner John L. Lewis as -*■ its vice president and council member dramatizes the chief weakness of the American Federation of Labor. This is its failure to make such headway in organizing the unskilled and semi-skilled millions of workers in the great mechanized industries. Far from being something new the issue between craft and industrial groups within the federation has been waxing for some years. Mr. Lewis says he has simply given up trying to convert the federation's high command and has set out to help organize within the Federation the non-skilled workers in auto, oil. rubber, steel, textile, copper and similar industries along the “vertical” lines indicated by modern mass-production methods. This conflict is not irreconcilable. There is room for both horizontal and vertical unions within the Federation. Craft organization in the building trades and other skilled industries is logical. But so is the organization of the mass production workers. Indeed. Mr. Lewis’ own United Mine Workers is an industrial union, and is the largest single group in the Federation membership. It is not the executive council’s failure to see the logic of industrial unionization that has forced this fight; it is its apparent lack of performance. The present conflict parallels the war between the old Knights of Labor and the rising young craft groups led by the late Samuel Gompers in the early eighties. The Knights recognized the logic of the skilled workers’ claim of autonomy, but resisted them in various ways. The Knights went down and the Gompers group survived to sire the present Federation. There is a warning, in reverse, in that outcome, for Mr. Gompers’ successors on the present executive council. The A. F. of L. cannot afford to slam its doors on these Twentieth Century toilers. Its membership is hardly more than four million out of an eligible 39 million wage-workers. As its leaders fail to carry the benefits of collective bargaining to unorganized millions they weaken their own cause. The Lew’is group, like the young Gompers group 50 years ago, has brains and energy, and its claims are grounded in realities. MASARYK STEFS DOWN r-pHOMAS CARRIGUE MASARYK’S resignation -*■ as President of Czechoslovakia at the grand old age of 85 is an event which will be signalized around the globe. Born in Slovakia in 1850. the son of a coachman on one of the Hapsburg estates, he began life as a blacksmith. Today he offers living proof that greatness of mind and soul has little to do with ones early beginnings. Something inside young Masaryk told him to go places and do things. And he did. He tutored his nay through school. He lectured and wrote books on philosophy. He founded and edited such periodicals as ’’The Athenaeum.” He rebelled against the Teutonic school that placed emphasis on tradition. Also against the Tolstoyan idea of non-resistance. Asa realist, he believed in balance. He hated the idea of Austria's passive subjection to Germany, but he berated that same country for its aggression against the Balkans. His followers founded the Progressive Party and sent him to Parliament. But when the World War broke out he escaped from Austria and began his work of making his dream of a Czechoslovakian Republic come true. He lectured throughout the allied nations, including the United States. Thus, in a large measure, it was in this country that the republic was born. Secretary of State Lansing, at Masaryk’s pleading, issued a manifesto

of sympathy for Czechoslovakia, and this the allies later indorsed. A national council was formed and on Nov 14. 1918 Masaryk was elected president. He has held that office ever since. Europe has seicom produced a finer man or a better statesman. Nor is the prophet without honor in his own land. He resigned yesterday only because of his advanced age. He will not be easy to replace, despite the unusually high standard of Czechoslovakian statesmen. The mantle might fall upon the shoulders of Dr. Edouard Benes. who has been a more or less permanent fixture as premier and foreign minister. Certainly Europe and the world hold him in high esteem and would applaud. SEEING IS BELIEVING 'T'HE exhibit of Federal projects in Indiana which was made yesterday in the Clavpool was one of the best New Deal educational displays we have seen. One may read about $1,000,000 spent in Goshen, but until one sees the photographs of the work done he can scarcely realize how the city and the people have benefited. One reads that Indiana has 57 CCC camps with nearly 10 000 emoliees, but until one sees specimens of the handicraft of these boys and pictures of the results of their work the figures mean little. The exhibit not only told that Indiana has 1191 WPA projects, with a pay roll of $4,000,000 a month, but it also showed what those projects mean in urban ana rural progress. The slum clearance exhibit gave a before-and-after picture that was convincing. Tire humanitarian and educational projects deserve public interest and support. It is unfortunate that the exhibit could not have been seen by thousands of Hoosier citizens. Perhaps it will be possible to arrange another to which the public will be invited. CAREERS FOR WOMEN r T"'HE careers conference for women at Purdue this week is in line with the efforts of Deans of Women throughout the country. To point the woman student toward a career, or merely an occupation, is one of the essential duties of a university. Although marriage, the home and the family may be the career for a woman, the uncertainties of this modern world certainly suggest some protective occupation. That the untrained woman is “out of luck” is tragically obvious. That a girl should be equipped to support herself and her dependents is equally obvious. Much of the present woe is due to the accepted idea that it didn't matter about a girl’s training; she would marry and thus her problems would be solved. Experience in the last five years has knocked that idea into a cocked-hat. True, many marry and nvke marriage and a home a career. But what happens when the wage-earner no longer can prevail? What does the wife and mother do then? That is why this conference on occupations for women, to which experts have been invited to advise the students, has merit. LAYDEN IS RIGHT XT' LMER LAYDEN says he is not in sympathy with a Rose Bowl invitation. He says his tired players for the most part have been to California. To keep them in training through December and have them keyed to win would be a task that Layden does not welcome. Layden is right. In a short time the famous full back of the Four Horsemen has returned Notre Dame to top-flight ranging in the country. His team has won seven, lost one, tied one, in a schedule which included the best in the United States. Furthermore, Layden is a gentleman and a scholar A lawyer, and a man of high ethical standards, he could not subject his boys to the rigors of the post-season spectacle without a quirk of the conscience. He has done everything to restore Notre Dame to the Rockne level. Notre Dame is first of all an educational institution, one of the best in the land. The season is over. Perhaps some time, when there is a real championship to be defended, he can take the lads to the coast. This does not seem to be the year. The season has been cock-eyed from the start. It might be good for football if the Rose Bowl committee would cancel the annual game. Or else invite Texas Christian. FOR DRUNKEN DRIVERS O TATES and cities are doing something about drunken auto drviers. In San Francisco police watch liquor dispensaries, and warn intoxicated patrons not to try to drive their cars. Knoxville police arrest drunken drivers on both city and state warrants. Utah and Michigan publish pictures of drunken drivers. Rhode Island suspends driving licenses not only for drunken but for drinking motorists. Texas makes driving autos while intoxicated a felony, and sends all such cases to the grand jury. In New York City a drunken truck driver was ordered to spend a half-hour in the city morgue looking at the maimed bodies of three persons killed by careless autoists. He left the morgue in a state of collapse. A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON TN every successful marriage, the process known as "*■ "falling in love” occurs several times. The complacent woman who tails to recognize the fact is the one who loses her husband. First, the boy enamored of the girl—usually with her outward person. Often he marries her without knowing much about her likes and dislikes. her virtues or her faults. After a couple of years together, if the two get along amicably, they fall in love all over again, and this time it is with the man and woman who live beneath the romantic surface of the boy and girl. Slowly, sometimes painfully, the wife discovers a stranger in the husband. He develops new whims, he is unaccountably stubborn, he ceases to consider her every wish a command. Perhaps her lover will entirely disappear, now and then, while in his shoes there will be an unknown, inimical being; almost, you might say, an enemy. But he will possess traits which also attract—a hardihood, perhaps, a strength of purpose which have not been evident before. And so she begins to love these new qualities she sees in him. And he must also fall in love with the woman his bride has become after two years of married life. Time flies cn. Suddenly the couple awakes one day to find taemselves middle-aged, and once more there comes the period when, if all goes well, anew kind of love must develop within them. Both perhaps have lost the contours as well as the illusions of youth. The verve which whets the edge of life has left them. To others they may even present a stodgy appearance. But between them there has grown up a loyalty, a tenderness which is not always discernible to the outside world. As long as politics interferes, or the sweatshop, government projects, or other hangovers of the old system prevail, we will always have labor troubles.— —W. B. Stout, head of the Society of Automotive Engineers.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Squaring The Circle With McCREADY HUSTON

I\j|'Y investigators have not comA pleted their report, but from' returns now on hand I begin to suspect that Indianapolis has more j conventions than any other inland city. It must be that Hoosiers like to convene and are ready to do so on the slightest provocation. Any day the streets are not sprinkled with strangers wearing j badges or merely that self-conscious j look of the delegate it seems like Sunday. Indiana editors can not criticise anybody for convening for they are ; addicted to it themselves. I believe both Democratic and Republican associations have two meetings a year. We've just had the farmers and ; the canners and now for the Eng- j lish teachers. n a u T WAS interested in the canners. You understand they are the people who put the tomatoes in the can; they are not an association of men who fire people out of their jobs. Canners I talked to referred to their product as the “pack.” That, it seemed, is the number of tons of tomato juice put up in one season. At the convention were several brokers. These are the men who find markets with wholesalers and jobbers for the packs of the various Indiana canning companies. One of the brokers told me that a canner capable of shipping 50,000 cases of j canned tomatoes in a season could clear $25,000. It seems to me if I were a farmer I would tear down my ! barn and put up a cannery. Much | depends, of course, on how much a ton the canner has to pay for his ; raw material. A Toledo woman, visiting in Indianut. ~ drove to Brown County to spend an afternoo*. and stayed more than a week. There’s a little Hoosier advertising. tt it tt NOT all the incurables whose cases have brought up this mercy death dispute are bed-ridden. There are other incurables. There is the chronic grouch. The perpetual punster. The back-slapper. The person who makes you guess who is on the telephone. And so on through a long list of incurables who are a far greater burden on society than those who are ill or crippled. A merciful death for some of them would be greatly appreciated by their acquaintances if not by themselves. a u tt On second thought, why not a convention of such incurables? They might kill themselves off. a tt tt npHE thing I can not understand -*• about the depression is that while the streets of our cities are walked by men in shabby, often ragged, clothes, the women nearly all are smartly if not luxuriously dressed. Can it be that the ladies take more pride in their appearance or that the ones who are without proper clothes stay at home where they are not seen? a tt tt What would people do if they couldn’t make cracks about Hoover? He has become the national butt for all manner of jokes and worse. If people really want to make him the forgotten man they shouldn't advertise him. tt tt tt Last week the Scotties had their show; today the wire-hairs are on exhibition. Both breeds are so in- j telligent they probably think they are having conventions, too. OTHER OPINION A NEW DEAL THREAT [Clintonian, Clinton, Ind.] The State WPA is entrusted with the responsibility of the education | part of the program as well as all other parts. According to one ot its bulletins, “the possession of teaching certificates is not required for this program.” And as an indication that this manner of handling at least an important part of edu- j cation in this country it may be pointed out that the Social Security Act places in the Department of Labor responsibilities for handicapped children and appropriates annually nearly $3,000,000 for services already performed for years in our best public schools. But the extravagance of the program is not its worst fault. It is being built around a staff of Federal and state workers who are politically appointed. Their responsibility to the people is so indirect as to be almost negligible. The longestablished politically free methods of school administration are being circumvented by the New Deal. Off# On Social Security [Abraham Epstein, i n Harper's.J It is a confession of complete ignorance of the principles of social insurance for liberals to argue that' with all its faults the Social Security j Act, nevertheless, “makes a begin-j ning.” a beginning toward what? Only incapacity to see the longrange interests of labor prompts William Green to gloat over the fact that the act places the rei sponsibility for unemployment insurance upon the employers. A tax i on pay rolls is not a tax upon the i owners of industry but on the work- | ers as consumers. The act does not I levy a cent on the owners of in--1 dustry, as Mr. Green thinks it does.

The old-age pension legislation is divided into two parts: (1) A national system of compulsory contributory old-age insurance; (2) Federal subsidies to the states to help the aged who can not be brought under the insurance system. We are only concerned in this summary with the last named system. Under such system the act provides that the Federal government shall allot yearly to each state an amount equal to what the state and its local subdivisions spend for oldage pensions under an approved state plan, provided that the Federal contribution shall not be more than enough to provide, when added to the state contribution, a total of S3O per month per person. This means that the Federal government will contribute sls per month in every instance where the state contributes at least that much. The state may contribute more if it so desires. The act requires the following standards in a state plan before it will be approved by the Social Security Board: The state plan must (1) provide that it shall be in effect in all political subdivisions of the state and be mandatory upon them; v 2 provide for contributions by the state; (3) provide for a single state agency to administer the plan or supervise the administration of the plan; (4) provide for granting to any individual whose claim for oldage assistance has been denied, a hearing before such agency; (5)

The act makes it mandatory upon the Social Security Board to approve any plan which fulfills above conditions, except that it shall not approve any plan which imposes as a condition to the granting of a pension an age requirement of more than 65 years (but the plan may impose, effective until Jan. 1. 1940, an age requirement of as much as 70 years].

Washington Merry-Go-Round

BY DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN. YY7ASHINGTON, Nov. 26—SiXVV foot-six sir Ronald Lindsay, His Majesty’s Ambassador to the United States, slipped into the State Department after it was almost closed the other night and climbed the back stairs because the elevators were not running. Closeted with Cordell Hull for more than an hour, he told the inside secret of why the Japanese suddenly had halted their plans to seize North China. The Foreign office in London had called in rotund Ambassador Matsudaira. uncle-in-law of the Emperor. tola him that if the League of Nations applied sanctions again i Italy for conquering Ethiopia i% should also apply them against Japan for stealing North China; that Britain was ready to go to bat for this policy. Shortly afterward. Secretary Hull went down the bade stairs of th? State Department, motored to the Union Station and conveyed this information to Roosevelt just before the President's train departed for Warm Springs at 9:30 p. m. tt a a I ''OUR years before this—almost to the month—Sir Ronald Lindsay used to come down to the State Department to confer with Secretary Henry L. Stimson. At- that time he nodded assent while Stimson lectured him on the dangers of Japanese aggression m Manchuria. The Japanese move into Manchuria, Stimson said, was but the fir.G. step. It would be followed by the conquest of North China, then the Yangtze Valley, stronghold of British trade, then South China and Hongkong. Mr. Stimson also held lengthy and vigorous trans-Atlantic telephone conversations with his old friend, Ramsay McDonald, prime minister of the national government. MacDonald agreed with him emphatically, promised co-operation, a definite Anglo-American front. But whenever Ambassador Cameron Forbes in Tokyo delivered one of Secretary Stimson's vigorous protests to the Japanese foreign office, the British ambassador called an hour or so later to say that Great Britain thoroughly understood the Japanese position. i And when Secretary Stimson fin- ! ally went to Geneva himself to enV* ! list the support of Europe's premie^ 1 for definite sanctions against Jai pan. the only semblance of support he could get was from Italy. Ramsay MacDonald, who agreed with him personally, could not swing the Tories who ruled his cabinet. Thus the British in 1931-32 spiked at Geneva the principle for which they are fighting today. a tt tt HENRY L. STIMSON came bark crestfallen from Geneva. He I had tried to set, an example for I peace. He had tried to block JaI pan’s initial move toward engulf- [ ing all China. He had tried to bol- ! ster the League of Nations. And | the British had stabbed him in the !back. After Roosevelt was elected —bub j before he assumed office—Stimson j went out to see him. came away Elated. He had sold the Presidenti elect his policy in the Far East. ! Since then international initiative | has been reversed. The British have ' been doing the talking. The State J Department has been doing the lisj tening. ! The only difference is that Roose- ! velt, as well as he ran under the | neutrality laws, is backing the Briiish up to the hilt. Note—On the night the armies * of Japan were poised outside the I Great Wall, ready to take North ! China, the Chinese Ambassador, I Alfred Sze. was throwing a resplendent, dinner for Mayor Mansfield of Boston. tt u u COMING date on the capitals program is a tea on Dec. 2, to which the invitations read, in part: “Captain Tamon Yamaguchl I Japanese Naval Attache At Home jln The Chinese Room Mayflower | Hotel PINK OF CONDITION.” The persistence with which Herbert Hoover's intimates enthuse over j his buoyant health is considered highly significant. The rhapsodies : are viewed as having all the earmarks of campaign propaganda. During the ex-President's latest trip East, members of his entourage missed no opportunity to regale reporters with tales of his endurance and high spirits. , 'Copvnght. 1935 by United F*atnr# Syndicate Inc i
