WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 11. 1935. UNCLE SAM’S WARD SUPPOSE you were to take a little girl out of another man’s house, Bdopt, her as your own daughter against her will, provide for her according to your own comparatively comfortable standard of living and otherwise rear her in such a way as to make her completely dependent upon you. And suppose, on coming of age, she should decide to make her own way in the world, and should fail and should come back asking readmission to the security of your home. Would you shut the door in her face? The relations between the United States and the Philippines do not yet offer a complete parallel. But they may some day. The United States wrested the Philippines from Spain, and forced them against their will and over the dead bodies of many Filipino citizens to submit to a more benefioient but none the less paternalistic guardianship. For 35 years the United States made the rules under which the Filipinos lived, and by employing American capital to develop the Philippines and opening the rich American market to the products of the Filipinos’ labor raised their standard of living above that enjoyed by hardier oriental neighbors, On coming of age, the Philippines asked to be set free, and were granted permission to start on their Journey toward freedom under terms which gradually raise barriers against their access to American markets and which must inevitably contract their trade and their standards of living. If those standards drop to the level of other oriental peoples, domestic disorder and foreign intervention may result. The United States at first counted on treaty safeguards to protect the eventual independence of the commonwealth. But so was the political and territorial integrity of China thus mutually guaranteed by powerful members of the family of nations—and we see what is happening to her. /) The Philippines have only started on the road to Independence, and though the first flush of confidence has begun to fade into doubt, they may make the grade. They may never be seriously threatened with the type of conquest which is now raging in the Far East and devouring China's independence. But if the threat comes, Uncle Sam probably may hear his adopted daughter once more knocking at his door. Like it or not. he will then have to decide whether to shut the door in her face or take her back into the fold. And nations, no more than individuals, can shed their moral responsibilities. The United States, if such circumstances occur, will have to work out some new plan to safeguard the Philippine commonwealth from new dangers in the western Pacific.

THE PUBLIC PAYS HT'HE utility holding companies have said repeatfdly that they wanted a clear-cut test of the Federal holding company regulatory law. One would have expected them to welcome the government's suit against the big Electric Bond and Share Cos., as providing an opportunity to carry all questions of the law’s constitutionality quickly up to the Supreme Court for a final ruling. One would have expected them to be pleased at the chance to keep down their legal expenses by pooling their interests and pleading their cause in this one test case. But apparently the companies do not want what they asked for. They are continuing to file every day in different courts almost identical injunction suits to prevent enforcement of the law. All this litigation may mean prosperity for lawyers, but it is pertinent to ask who will pay the bills. So far os defense of these suits is concerned, the answer is simple. The taxpayers will pay for that. Already the SEC has had to borrow lawyers from several other government establishments. But there is a limit to such borrowing. So the various district attorneys' offices, few of which boast a staff attorney versed in utility law, will have to hire outside talent, and at fees matching the bids of the utilities themselves. And who will pay .the legal bills of the utilities themselves? Not the executives of the holding companies who hire the lawyers and order the suits filed, but the customers who pay the electric light bills and the investors who own utility stocks. A lawyer friend of ours, who knows about such things, estimates that the lawyers whose names appeared on the first six injunction suits filed by major holding companies will collect not less than $75,000 on each case before it gets out of the lower court. Six times $75,000 would buy a lot of kilowatt hours, but it is only the beginning. And out beyond these expensive legal skirmishes lies a still more expensive battle. If the companies win in the courts, the battle will be resumed in legislative halls. In their last legislative battle—their unsuccessful fight on the Wheeler-Ravburn law in the last Congress—utility witnesses admitted spending an aggregate of more than $2,000,000. We suspect, from the number of telegrams and the amount of excitement stirred up over the country, the total was closer to 10 times that amount. The officials of one company alone. Mr. Hopson's Associated Gas and Electric, admitted spending SBOO,OOO. The important thing about all this for all of ’ts to keep constantly in mind is that the general public —which is made up of the rate payer, the utility investor, the taxpayer, the ultimate consumer—pays and pays, and pays. MR. PEEK S DISSENT GEORGE N. Peek's appraisal of the United StatesCanadian trade agreement deserves analysis because it is representative of the viewpoint of a considerable and vocal faction in public affairs. That faction contends that the United States can live and prosper within a Chinese wall, opening and closing at rill the gates of trade, making our foreign customers buy from us what we want to sell, and permitting them to sell to us only what we choose to buy. Mr. Peek is a farm champion. So he objects with special vigor that 83.8 per cent of the Canadian mports affected by the treaty are agricultural products. We presume he would not have objected had we confined our concessions to Panama hats,,Hawaiian

guitars and Japanese lanterns. But Canada might not have been interested in such a proposition. He objects that the lower tariffs granted to Canadian imports also are extended to the same products from other countries which do not discriminate against us. Ignoring the fact that no other country except Canada is in a position to sell us any appreciable quantity of the goods affected by our Canadian treaty concessions, an adequate answer to Mr. Peek should be to ask how long, if we did otherwise, he thinks other countries would continue their policy of non-discrimination toward us. Mr. Peek objects—this is a political and not an economic objection—that the treaty is in violation of President Roosevelt's pre-election campaign promise not to reduce any farm tariffs. He points out that in a speech at Baltimore in October, 1932, Mr. Roosevelt said: "I know of no effective excessive high duties on farm products. I do not intend that such duties shall be lowered.” We direct Mr. Peek's attention to the word "effective,” and suggest that he consult the market quotations as of October, 1932, and judge for himself how "effective” were the high tariffs applying to cattle, cream, poultry, lumber, etc. Those who adhere to the Peek school of thought would divide both trade and customers into two categories—good and bad—and indulge in a type of willful discrimination which inevitably would bring on retaliation and disruptions in what little remains of our share of world commerce. It is fortunate for the country, we believe, that the views of Secretaries Hull and Wallace have prevailed over those of Mr. Peek, and that the Administration has embarked on a program of reciprocity rather than reprisal. MAJOR BERRY’S PARTY TT was almost inevitable that Mai. George L. A Berry’s get-together party for capital and labor in Washington would be a failure. Too many of the invited industrialists had the idea that its purpose was to prolong the costly wake the Administration ls holding over the carcass of a very dead eagle. Others felt that the motives behind it were political. Others that, in view of pending Supreme Court tests, attempts at industrial planning were out of season. No one. however, expected the sullen and savage rebuffs that greeted the government’s friendly gesture. Here was industry’s opportunity to resume man-to-man talks with the government and with labor spokesmen. There was plenty to talk about that must interest industry—the new A. F. of L. estimate of 11,650,000 jobless; the alarming fact that wh.le factory production is back within 5 points of the 1923-25 average, factory employment is 15 points below and pay rolls are 25 points below; long hours, sweatshops, child labor, ruinous trade practices that NRA tried to eliminate; public works and taxation; the Berry proposal for an industrial council to advise with government. Instead, most of the big employer groups boycotted the gathering, and another group that did come tried to gang the meeting and bandy undignified epithets with its chairman. Thus big business again cold-shoulders the government. Like a convalescent who thinks he's cured, it fires the doctor, throws away the tonic and kicks about the bill. It is now pertinent to ask industry just what it proposes to do about it all. “There are,” says Maj. Berry, “only two alternatives. Either industry must find jobs for these millions or submit to taxation to provide funds with which they are to be fed. It is industry’s job to formulate a program. It is just as simple as that.”

EQUAL AND EXACT y AST week a Superior Court judge in Georgia — 4 did what the United States Supreme Court majority refused to do last May. He cut through technicalities and declared the conviction of the Negro Angelo Herndon to be “unconstitutional, illegal, void and of no effect.” The Herndon case is the South’s celebrated cause. Accused under an old and almost forgotten 1866 anti-insurrection law of trying to establish a Negro republic and of enlarging the Communist Party in Atlanta, Herndon was sentenced to 18 to 20 years in prison. The arrest followed his action in organizing a relief appeal of about 1000 Georgia families, of whom 600 were white. Judge Hugh M. Dorsey found that application of this statute to Herndon's activities was in conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment and also the Georgia Constitution. The United States Supreme Court majority had refused on a technicality to consider the case. Judge Dorsey has sustained law and enrobed his court with dignity. He has said that regardless of the color of a defendant’s skin or political doctrine he is entitled to the shelter of the Constitution. He has upheld what Jefferson called “equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion.” A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT By Mrs. Walter Ferguson “TS ft possible to disguise love?” asks a 30-year-old business woman who believes she has met her fate. “I am told it is a mistake* to show the object of your affections the true state of your feelings, but for the life of me, Mrs. Ferguson, I don’t see how any one who is in love can pretend not to be.” For the life of me, Annabelle, I can’t either. Which makes the two of us innocents among the worldlings. People who have a reputation for knowledge on the subject are always telling us that women must not show concern over the men they love. Nothing so irritates a husband. I fear, as the wife who displays too much curiosity about his affairs or worry over his welfare. The modern eligible of any age can apparently be scared off by the pinkest of passion. In short, then, the best way to love men according to these modem advisers is not to love th'i;;.. For it is impossible to disguise love or to hide it. If your tongue does not speak, your eyes will. What your words conceal, your expression will reveal. A candle which lights the face and shines through the body and electrifies every gesture of the hands—such is love. That’s why the only person who can follow the rules to success is the cold-hearted gal who never has and probably never Mill love any one but herself. Most of the formulas for luring men by disdain are designed for the unpopular girl who wants a date, or for the gold-digger who would like to deepen mining operations. To the others, those who are actually victims of the Grand Passion, there will come the moment when the deception can be kept up no longer. In some manner, the truth will escape. And I’m just the kind of simpleton, Annabelle, who believes that the men who are worth loving prefer truth to pretense. The warm heart is still more winning that thfc cold shoulder. It Is gross calumny against the Constitution to represent it as only the protector of property. It is a protector of rights, and the rights of the least and the lowliest among us, quite as much as any one.— Bainbridge Colby, fo*a£x Secretary of State.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Squaring The Circle With McCREADY HUSTON

npHE Works Progress Administration is a source of some of the best stories about Indiana people because its officers see so many under the unusual conditions imposed by relief. A group of workers were clearing out Riley's "old swimming hole” over at Greenfield. The taretaker of the Riley Memorial Park is John Mulvihill who was a boyhood friend of the poet. Recalling how Brandywine Creek looked in Riley's day he said: "This place was so full of briers and bushes that they had to hang two bells on a cow to find her in here.” tt n tt TT7HEN the Fort Wayne Journal- ' ’ Gazette was trying to stir the local authorities into starting some projects under WPA it told of a lazy hill-billy, the father of ten children, who would not support them. His neighbors down South became so enraged by his neglect that they decided to take him out and hang him. While they were on their way with him in a wagon, a farmer came by and inquired what the necktie party was about. He said, ’‘lt’s a shame to hang the poor fellow. I'll give him a bushel of corn so he can make some hominy for his wife and children.” The hill-billy looked up from where he was reclining in the wagon and asked, “Is the corn shelled?” "No,” replied the farmer, “You'll have to shell it yourself.” "Then drive on,” said the hillbilly. tt tt a A woman relief client is a chronic letter-writer. She has written to President Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt, Gov. McNutt, Wayne Coy and a number of others. She requested “two or three everyday dresses, a voile crepe or print dress and a navy blue or brown dress for church.” The writer added. "I live alone with the proceeds of one cow.” To Mrs. Roosevelt she wrote, “I feel that when you talk to Mr. Roosevelt you can place my need vividly before him.” tt tt tt at the Statehouse the other day a large number of men were waiting outside the office of an official. Mildly curious, I asked, “What do all these people want?” The official said, "They all have axes to grind.” "All of them?” i Inquired. "No,” he answered; “a few have no axes but are carrying chisels.” tt tt tt A. L. Trester, who guides the Indiana High School Athletic Association, is a prodigious worker. He learned to work when he was principal of the Alexandria High School about 20 years ago. All he had to do was teach five periods a day, manage the football team, schedule its games, coach it and officiate on Saturdays. For more than two decades he has managed the high school athletics of the state, a job which includes running the annual basketball tournament. The details are many. With sectionals and regionals being run off in advance of the state tournament he has to see that every row of bleachers is inspected and insured. Then he has to attempt to satisfy about 200,000 persons who want to see the finals with only 15.000 seats in the Butler Fieldhouse, tt n tt Herman Schilling writes: “We like a local column and hope you have success with it.” Sounds a little suspicious, as if he were betting we wouldn’t. Our main anxiety is crossing the streets to get to the office so we can write it. The way some drivers have darted at me recently I begin to feel that the column should be insured. u tt tt Homer Phillips remarks that among the Christmas shoppers are a numbpr of Hoosiers looking for new political ties. OTHER OPINION On Neutrality (Henry L. Stimson in The Foruml The world has been tied together, and the sooner we face that fact and stop talking about self-suffi-ciency, the sooner we shall be ready to make intelligent progress upon this question of war. The result of this is to indicate that it is more important to prevent war anywhere than to steer our own course after war has come. When a serious war breaks out in the world, we are likely to be gravely hurt, whatever we do. Whether we shall allow ourselves to be drawn into the actual fighting or not is then of comparatively minor importance. All we can do is consider whether the additional injury which will be done us by entering the war will offset the evils which will be done to us by some of the combatants if we do not step forward and defend ourselves against them. The theory that we can save ourselves er tirely by isolation is today an economic fantasy worthy of an

Our national officers from over the United States and our visitors from the state of Indiana were more than pleased with your paper. I also want to compliment you for your selection of reporters. They were very capable in taking convention notes, courteous at all times and their news items were more than pleasing. tt tt tt TAXI RIDER BOOSTS MEN AND SERVICE Bv a Constant Reader Here is a boost for the taxies and drivers. Having occasion frequently to patronize a taxi I must say the drivers always have been kind and courteous to me and are always on time. My work keeps me out late at night, until 1 a. m.—and I’m in favor of keeping the number of taxies we now have. If any change is made, put more on. 1 rode the street cars many times and had to stand up all the way. I am for the taxies first, last and all the time, and for the drivers who would be thrown out of work if the force was reduced. I am voicing the sentiment cf many people to whom I have talked. tt tt tt THIS MIGHT HANDICAP LEFT-HANDED MEN By W. V. Hunter, Worthington Until recently I have scoffed at our Brain Trusters’ ideas or crop limitation and destruction. Now I have entered the spirit of the thing and believe it is a good policy. When there is an overproduction of any one thing that is all there is to do about it. So I have formed a plan that will lead our country out of this awful depression and bring prosperity back to stay. In propagating this plan I realize that I will slide into the good graces of the Administration several yards ahead of Raymond Moley and others, including Frances Perkins, as this deals mostly with labor and unemployment. We all know that we have an overproduction of unemployed laborers, and

that unemployment is a very bad thing during a depression. Now here is my plan: We will not kill off nor destroy a single laborer, but every laborer, whether employed or not, must submit to the amputation of his left arm. Thus two laborers must stand where one stood before—the course of unemployment is solved. Then we will put a 5 per cent tax on all incomes for the process of training the young for the military, thus solving the problem of national defense. If any one in the ranks of labor attempts to raise his voice against the government, just remember that his left arm is missing. Pay no heed to him. He will lean to the right. Communism is whipped. Truly there is nothing as brainy as brains. tt tt tt SEES DISASTER FOR S. MERIDIAN-ST. By Jimmy Cafouros Cities, like men and women, have faces. Just as respectable men and women like to keep their faces clean, so respectable cities like to keep up a decent front. To cite a specific instance: Out on S. Meridian-st a junk dealer is hanging out his shingle in one of the fairest parts of this highroad. If the precedent is established it will be only a matter of time until Meridian-st will be another louse row or boneyard. A city impresses a visitor by its approaches, its avenues and its highways. When the day comes that a man can be so bold as to cause a fine class of property to depreciate merely because he wants to do business it is high time for the citizenry to protest. I invite all you South Siders to come to the rescue. a tt a COMES TO DEFENSE OF WPA PROJECT By Haze Hurd I see where Jimmie Cafouros broke into print in the Hoosier Forum Nov. 23 concerning WPA project No. 6020. First I wish to say from his article one might think he was from Breathitt County, Kentucky, or Brown County, Indiana, where the people are not accustomed to seeing streets, boulevards and parks built. He said those workers dig holes one day and fill them the next. He saw these workers putting in a sewer, I suppose, and did not know the difference. Or they might have been digging holes to set out trees. They haul soil and fill those holes around the trees. He said, “think of the streets that could be reconditioned; the dumps that could be cleaned up.” Those fellows that are digging south of Michigan-st are doing just what he advises. They are removing an old dump that has been an Indian-

A—The Treasurer, commanded by Cape. Daniel Elfrith, which landed at Jamestown, Va., in 1619. Q—What does the name Lyder mean? A—Dweller on a slope (Middle English). Q —Where is Picardy? A—lt was an old province in northern France on the English Channel, which now is divided among the departments of Aisne, Somme, Oise, Pas-de-Calais and Yonne. Q —When, where and by whom was the bicycle invented? A—The forerunner of the bicycle was the* “draisine,” invented by Baron von Drais, a German, about the year 1816. It was composed of two tandem wheels of equal size, connected by a perch, and was propelled by a rider thrusting with his feet on the ground and guided by a bar connected with the front wheel. Q—What are the areas of Italy and Ethiopia? A—ltaly, including Sicily and Sardinia, 119,713 square miles; Ethiopia, 350,000 square miles.

apolis eye-sore for 25 years and are hauling the dirt on those trucks he complained about to 21st-st and filling an old dump with that dirt he complained about. He says those who work on these projects have no purpose, no results, no inspiration to their work, just digging. Mr. Cafouros. have you ever had experience as foreman of building street and flood-prevention projects? Your talk in the Forum does not indicate such experience, but your article does indicate that you are of a different political faith from the Administration conducting these projects. If you will go out to one of these projects you will find these men quite different from what you imagine. You will find most of them well satisfied with what you call digging and you will find they are in favor of retaining the present Administration. Come out, Mr. Jimmie Cafouros. and visit this project and let some one explain to you the condition this territory just north of Michigan-st was in before the present Administration went in power. I work on this project and as I come home in the evening along White River just south of Washington-st, I don’t have to look over the bank at Hooverville and Curtisville. I saw as I came along there one evening a great smoke ascending. I found that the WPA workers had abolished both of those cities and like Sodom and Gomorrah they will be remembered, but not exist again as long as the present Administration remains in power. I believe it will remain in power for many moons, regardless of a few useless kickers. HOUSES BY POLLY LOIS NORTON Houses are dark aches when veiled in misty rain.

Washington Merry-Go-Round

BY DREW rEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN. WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.—That thunder you have been hearing on the left the last, few week3 is the New Deal staging a political counter-attack. The bombardment of rhetoric by Administration big shots is not a coincidence. it is a carefully mapped out plan of political strategy. The New Dealers have taken a leaf from the book of modem military methods and have opened fire on their opponents without bothering to proclaim a formal state of war. Here is the record of operations: Major speech by the President in. Atlanta. Ga. Another in Chicago. Both campaign addresses. Slashing attack on Administration foes by Secretary Ickes in Detroit. Aggressive defense of AAA by Secretary Wallace in New York. Speaking tour by Work Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins, featuring warm defense of New Deal relief expenditures and policies. Several speeches by Undersecretary Rex Tugwell. proclaiming the Administration's determination to adhere to liberal tenets. Prediction by Big Jim Farin' that Roosevelt will be re-elected in 1936, carrying as many states as he did four years ago. The Administration has set itself a stiff job. if it intends to keep up this pace all year. a a tt TTERR HERBERTSCHOLZ is first secretary of the German embassy. in charge of Nazi cultural activities. The other day, while attending a diplomatic function he got into a conversation with the counselor of the Swedish Legation, Baron Johan Beek-Friis. Baron Beck-Friis is a sort of milk-and-crackers-looking person but actually he’s just the opposite. “I understand.” said Herr Scholz, “you do not like Germany.” “I am fond of the German people.” replied Baron Beck-Friis. "In other words, you don't like Germany since 1933.” (The year the Hitler government came into power.) "Exactly.” replied Beck-Friis. "Well, you don’t have to worry.” shot back Scholz. “In two years France, and in twenty years Sweden will be a part of the Nazi empire—. and you will like it.” tt tt a TTENRY WALLACE has spent more of the taxpayer’s money on travel than any other member of the Cabinet—and is proud of it. “A Secretary of Agriculture,” he says, “can not afford to lose touch with farmers.” And he has developed a unique method of doing it. All along the way he stages conferences, takes hikes into the country, asks questions of almost every one he meets. On his last Western trip, there were long stretches of travel by car. during which Wallace was escorted by several of his county agents. A dozen times a day, he would shift from one car to another in order to pump each agent on local conditions. Note—Wallace does not accept fees for his speaking engagements, as do some other members of the New Deal. Only other member of the Cabinet to out-travel Wallace is Jim Farley, whose expenses are paid by the Democratic National Committee. a a tt THE barrage of suits against the Holding Company Act has obscured a significant fact. The attack has been concentrated entirely on one phase of the law— Title 1, which regulates utility holding companies, through the Securities and Exchange Commission. But there has been no attack on Title 2of the same act. This section is no less far-reaching and important than its mate. It authorizes the Federal Power Commission to regulate the rates and transmission of power that goes across state lines. The provision has been operative since last August. There are approximately 1600 operating utilities in the country. Yet not one has peeped against it. More than that, of 14 companies which have filed applications with the power commission to simplify their corporate structures under Title 2, 11 are members of holding corporations which have filed suits against the SEC on Title 1.
