It Seems to Me HEVWOD BROUN ON a number of editorial pages I have read today that the public has rights. I don’t see how anybody can deny that. And yet I remain puzzled as to why the public should almost invariably shout for them at the last minute and up the wrong alley. Before discussing the elevator strike let me point ou'. some of the familiar ways in which Mr. and Mrs. Manhattan allow themselves to be played for suckers. Wt ride in taxicabs in which the drivers are ad-

mittedly underpaid, and the jifference between starvation pay and something approaching a livin wage we make up ou of our own pockets. And yet if a large section of the taxi drivers struck, demanding a guaranteed living wage instead of tips, a number of New Yorkers would insist that their rights were being violated and would proceed to ride with strike breakers and put their weight to the perpetuation of the tips. This has happened in a score of hotel and restaurant strikes. Patrons of places which certainly

charge enough to afford a decent wage scale walk gayly through picket lines to illustrate their good old .American right to be flimflammed by paying the proprietor, the waiter and whatever company nas the hat check privilege. u n n Patrons Might Vole ONE might think, at the very least, the owners of such resorts would permit a plebiscite before any old waiters are fired. After all, since the bosses don’t pay the men, why shouldn’t the patrons who bear the freight have the right of hiring and of firing? . It is assumed that in apartment houses the elevator operators are paid in part by the management and in part by lips. Some day associations of tenants will organize and say to landlords, “You pay your employes decent wages and quit trying to shift the burden to us. Our obligation should end after we have paid the rent.” I am surprised to find as realistic a newspaper as the New York Times dealing with a current situation in terms of Utopian economics. I refer to the following lines in an editorial called “The Strike”— “The men who operate the small number of absolutely indispensable services in a modern metropolis* nave a special responsibility to the community to keep these services functioning. They can fairly ask, in turn, that the community itself show a special interest in the conditions under which they work. They have no right to ask the city to help them establish a closed shop and a labor monopoly. But they can fairly raise the question of hours and wages. ... By carrying their demands to the strike stage, the union leaders have jeopardized the safety of the city.” a a a Smiling Face, Happy Heart PLEASE assume for the moment that you are an underpaid elevator operator and then read the advice given in the Times and see what comfort you can get out of it. Your services are indispensable, and therefore you must accept low wages. You can ask for higher pay and shorter hours, but it must bo understood that if the employer says, “Certainly not, and don’t have the audacity to bother me again/’ you return to your job with smiling face and happy heart. According to the Times, yo\ and your fellows can’t strike, but probably it would not object if the tenants picketed a building wuh signs saying “We will take a walk until decent wages are paid to the operators in this building.’ I am gratified to learn that such a great paper purposes to take up the fight lor the underprivileged. and I am waiting for the happy morning when an eight-column line streams across the first page proclaiming: “Tenants, Fight for Your Rights— Get Out on the Picket Line and Join the Elevator Operators!” (Copyright. 1936>

Ro sevelt Squeeze May Get Results BY RAYMOND CLAPPER WASHINGTON, March 7.—Thanks to a neat squeeze play. President Roosevelt is likely to get his corporate surplus tax through Congress. After sending the proposal to Congress earlier this week) Mr. Roosevelt waited for the first outcries of pain to subside. Then he applied the squeezer. He sent his Treasury experts to say that

if Congress didn't like the surplus tax there still were three other ways to raise the money. First, a general manufacturers' sales tax. Second, higher income taxes in the lower brackets. Third, lower exemption on theater and admission taxes. It wasn’t even necessary for Mr. Roosevelt to remind Congress that any of these three alternatives would step on the toes of far more voters than the corporation surplus tax. Every one in Congress knows what year this is.

The main job is to work out reasonable exempted reserves to protect corporations against bad years. a a a THE State Department was anxious to emphasize that passage in Secretary Hull’s opening campaign speech to Maryland Democrats in which he urged international currency stabilization. It was designed to take some of the wind out of Republicans like Hoover who are demanding return to a fixed gold standard, and at the same time to put in a plug with foreign nations for more stable currency relationships which are essential to successful operation of the reciprocal trade treaties and to the negotiation of others. Actually, however, this government does not anticipate ea 'y stabilization. Unsettled conditions in Europe, a* particularly the general expectation that France .ill have to devalue the franc again, stand in the way. But Hull's policy is to keep hammering away at a good idea in the hope that it will help toward ultimate realization. Similarly he preaches respect for treaties at every opportunity although scarcely a day goes by that some nation doesn’t tear one up. a a a In the present campaign, Hull will be one of the chief right-wing speakers of the Administration, to be used, as he was in opening the Maryland campaign, in conservative territory. He is one of the few Administration stars whose prestige has risen instead of declined during the last three years. a a a GREAT BRITAIN is studying our suggestions for a reciprocal trade treaty but has failed thus far to warm up to them. Since introducing a protective tariff policy of her own a few years ago. she has come to think better of it than she did in the old free days. a a a Detailed returns from the Roosevelt-Talmadge presidential primary in Seminole County, Georgia, show that while Roosevelt carried the county 2 to 1. he carried the county seat. Dona Ison ville. 40 to 1. From which some Democrats say that Mr. Roosevelt isn’t so unpopular among the small-town business men as might have been thought. a a a THE real reason the Department of Justice took the bit in its teeth and obtained dismissal of the Louisville and Detroit housing condemnation cases without the consent of PWA was two-fold. First, the suit had necome academic since PWA no longer seeks land by condemnation but buys it by negotiation. Second, broader questions of the right Os the government to spend for housing were involved and the government did not risk a general defeat from the Supreme Court that might lze other spending activities. t

Alberta, with it* Social Credit government pledged nix months ago to pay each adult citizen $25 monthly merely for being a citizen, is a proving ground for the Townsend plan and other economic nostrums being currently offered to Americans. Foi x that reason the Scripps-Howard Newspapers sent Forrest Davis, staff writer, to Alberta a half year after the Social Credit election to study how it came into being and what progress has been made toward paying the people’s pension. His second article follows. BY FORREST DAVIS Scripps-Koward Staff Writer. £JALGARY, Alta., March 7.—Here in the foothills, gratifyingly warmed by a chinook from the coast slope of the Rockies, Alberta appears less a province than a paradox. The land over which that sternly prophetic man of God, William Aberhart, was called to rule last August on his promise of milk and honey at $25 monthly to adults, lesser doles to minors, seems, at first glance, to be an economic headache and a sum of contradictions —climatic, economic, of behavior and vegetation. A giant land, immense as Texas, Alberta, in truth, flows with milk and honey. Nature willing, it produces meat, milk, poultry, grain, wool, hides boundlessly. It contains more coal than Germany and France put together.” Yet, on the post-election word of Premier Aberhart, Albertans starve; farm women dare tempera.tures of 50 below in gunny sacking, and their infants lack milk. Upon that broad paradox, familiar elsewhere, of want and plenty, other contradictions sprout like eyes on an old potato. In depressed Alberta, for example, farmers have come to believe “the better the crop the poorer the farmer.” * a a A ND those are broad reasons f 1 why, Albertans explain today, the bouncy, ruggedly individualistic baggage Alberta went philandering. after Social Credit last summer, throwing herself wholeheartedly into the arms of a dour preacher of old Testament justice who, paradoxically also, offered her $25 a month without toil in a post-Adam Garden of Eden in the Canadian Northwest. An odd mating of frontier and Genesis. The paradoxes pyramid bewildenngiy. Yet those are by no means the end of it. Calgary, a cosmopolitan settlement of 80,000 souls, one-tenth the province’s population, is a cow town—and proud of it.

WASHINGTON, March 7. Wall Street already is figuring out ways of juggling Roosevelt’s new tax on undivided corporation surpluses. The idea is to issue dividends, but in the same envelope ask shareholders to reinvest in anew issue. This avoids taxes and at the same time means more stock-issuing commissions for Wall Street. . . . Keep an eye on Gen. Hagood and the Senatorial situation in South Carolina. His friends are urging him to run against Senator Jim Byrnes, close friend of the President. . . .

Shouse and Lobby Probers Battle Over Investigation

By United Press WASHINGTON, March 7.—The American Liberty League and the Senate Lobby Committee were engaged today in a blistering exchange of charges and counter charges over the committee’s method of conducting its nationwide investigation. Jouett Shouse, league president, charged in a radio speech that the Senate group had gone beyond its authority, and appealed to followers of his organization to join in a “mammoth petition of protest against this monstrous invasion of our fundamental rights.” Shouse vigorously criticised the committee’s tactics, and said its, practice of subpenaing copies of telegrams sent or received by companies and individuals was indirect violation of the “rights and liberties” of the American people. Committee Chairman Hugo L. Black (D., Ala.) replied immediately with a statement that Shouse and his supporters were “simply spokesmen for the interests that don’t want to be investigated.” He added that the committee probably would seek radio time to answer the league's charges. 000 American Liberty League 1 is one of the group whose telegrams have been turned over to the Black committee without notification,” Shouse asserted. “Quite by accident we learned that this had been done. “To any information that the committee can get it is more than welcome, but it will be disappointed at the result. The League has done its work in public .. . There are no skeletons in its closet.” Senator Lewis B. Schellenbach (D., Wash.) commented that if the League had “nothing to conceal,” it is “peculiar that it is so vigorously objecting to our perusal of its telegrams.” “I am delighted,” Senator Shellenbach said, “that Mr. Shouse, the mouthpiece for the du Ponts, has attacked the committee, this

brush, the rural “slums” of Alberta. Ukrainians and White Russians, existing miles from villages dominated by tinny Orthodox churches with onion-shaped demes; living in log-and-mud huts, without floors other than dirt and forced to sleep in their bundled clothes to keep warm in' winter. Anglo-Saxon farmers, too, in little better circumstances. These were settled on unproductive land, willy-nilly, during the great land rushes before and after the World War, when Alberta, the Promised Land, dreamed of being a center of empire. Dreamed patriotically, you may be sure, in spite of occasional rashes of secession talk. Alberta is loyal both to itself and to the empire, as witness the streamer line with which the brisk Edmonton Bulletin announced Edward VIII’s accession: “Alberta Citizen Takes Oath as King!” Nor should mention be omitted of the sentimental Communist burghers of Blairmore, a village in the north, who halfstaffed the red flag over the town hall the day of King George's funeral. Monday, Forrest Davis describes the rise of Social Credit and Aberhart in Alberta.

brings into the open the fact that the opposition to the committee comes from the Liberty League.” , Mr. Shouse charged that either committee investigators or Federal Communications Commission agents had examined every telegram sent to Washington by every citizen in the country from Feb. 1 to Dec. 1, 1935, regardless of whether the messages pertained to personal or private business. “If your telegrams can be pawed over at will by agents of a partisan political group,” Shouse asked. “What assurance have you that your mail may not be tampered with? What assurance have you that your telephone wires may not be tapped and your conversations reported? What assurance have you that dictaphones may not be placed in your offices or your homes?” 000 “'T'HAT is a fabrication of the A whole pint,,” said Senator Sherman Minton (D., Ind.). “We have examined only the telegram and corespondence of organizations that have been known to have been active in opposition to or in favor of legislation. “The committee has not the slightest interest in anybody’s private telegrams.” Mr. Shouse urged his listeners to write to the league to protest against the committee's activities. “Or I might suggest even that if possible you telegraph,” he said, “because we knots that a wire at least, especially if addressed to the American Liberty League, will not only come to the attention of the Administration and the Black investigating committee, but will have the most alert consideration of both.” Meanwhile. the committee planned to move forward with its inquiry. It tentatively scheduled an examination of alleged lobbying against the Agricultural Adjustment Act as the next on its program. It was expected representatives of the National Canners Association would be called Monday.

Fair Enough nils A7TENNA, March 7.—Karl Nisselback, a naturalized ~ American who has been sentenced to a German prison for two years, may not be a very good citizen of the United States, but. nevertheless, our government ought to make the Nazis let him go. We could do this by arresting 10 German Nazis in New York

or Hoboken on a long list of charges and giving them everything that the book calls for—sentences to run consecutively, not concurrently, and without option of fine. Our police are very good piling up complaints when they really put their hearts into their work, and it would be no problem at all to retaliate at the rate of 10 to one for every American who is slammed into prison for violation of the trick laws they enforce against our people. For example, a Nazi driving an automobile might be followed

through the streets for a few hours and pulled up on enough charges to keep him under glass as long as Nisselback. if we really set out to get rough about the matter. nun There Are Plenty of Laics "lI7E have laws against smoking in the subways, ’ ’ cluttering fire escapes, impeding sidewalks, loitering, littering and walking on the grass in the parks, and a clever cop, if he wants to, usually can draw a man into an argument and then charge him with conduct calculated to draw a crowd. This would be a petty way to act, to be sure, but the Germans are enforcing petty laws against Americans, and the penalties are too serious to be accepted in fun. This Nisselback was held for four months without charges, whereas we can't even pick up a man without telling him why. He was held 10 months before he got a trial, and in the long run they gave him two years for having in his possession a newspaper which they considered seditious because it criticised the Nazi form of government. But i tis almost impossible to avoid seditious conduct in Germany under their laws. If you were to have among your papers a copy of Winstcn Churchill s article analyzing Hitler’s character they could give you as much as 10 years under their law or even shoot you. On the other hand, the Nazis proceed in the belief that they can get away with murder in other countries, and when I mention murder, 1 am not using a figure of speech, for the assassination of Engelbert Dollfuss, dictator of Austria, was planned and directed by the German government. a a a Diplomatic Outcast TT must be kept in mind constantly that the Nazi government is a rule of hoodlums and grafters whose murderous character has been demonstrated not only in the Dollfuss case but in their own historic blood purge. Heie in Vienna, Von Papen, their ambassador, ia an absolute outcast so far as the diplomatic circle is concerned, for everybody remembers his record as military attache of the German embassy in Washington up to 1916. Nobody wants anything to do with him. The Austrians, of course, want no part of his country, because the only reason the Nazis keep an ambassador here is to organize a traitorous movement and deliver the country to Germany. This is the sort of racket the American government is dealing with in Germany, and it is useless to expect that American passports will be respected unless the Nazis understand that we will treat their people as badly as they treat ours. Nisselback personally isn’t very important, but two years in prison is too much for the mere possession of a paper which the Germans considered to be seditious. If we need a definition of seditious conduct every Nazi in the United States should be in prison now.

Art in Indianapolis BY ANTON SCHERRER

npHE fact that water color painting was a part of every little girl's education during the Victorian Age, contributed, perhaps, as much as anything to the downfall of that period—unless, perchance, it was the little girl’s piano-playing of Mendelssohn s “Songs Without Words.” 000 Whatever it was, Victorian art in the hands of the water-colorists (after Turner) achieved an alltime low of saying nothing sometimes, to be sure, with a good deal of charm. If, by any chance, it did say something, it was something stupid. The wonder is that an art reduced to such straits could ever recover. That it did, is due in great part to the moral rectitude of the ladies themselves. Today, water color painting faces another dilemma—not of saying too little this time, but of saying too much. It’s got to the point now that water colorists, in their eagerness to give something of themselves, very often give themselves away. Every once in a while, however, we happen upon an artist who understands how to be intimate without telling everything he knows. Last week, for instance, we ran across Sara Bard's “Christmas Eve" and it had every appearance of an invitation to participate in the painter’s mood. Miss Bard’s thrilling picture is a big part of her solo-show now on view at the H. Lieber Gallery. a *. * N alert little lady, who spends her spare time watching the behavior of nine grandchildren, went to the Herron the other day to have a look at Indiana art. A survey convinced her, she said, that Indiana artists are becoming more masculine every year. She developed the thought right before our eyes. Masculinity, it appears, is not a sign of strength, power or violence. Neither is it a sign of brilliance or bravura, much as the men would like it to be. Applied to art, it is a connotation for gentleness coming from strength. A baby placed in male arms (we quote the lady) may turn from a raging brawl to a tranquil tune, simply through feeling the comfort of masculine grasp, which is not a grip, but a steady reassuring hold. It is, perhaps, impertinent to introduce anything so fantastic as a baby into a discussion of artlet alone Indiana art—but maybe the lady is right. Maybe this year’s crop of Indiana art is good by reason of the same steady hold that makes babies behave. “Anyway.” said the little lady, “this year's prize pictures didn’t have to be spanked to be good." 000 ELMER ZILCH, on his first visit to the Indiana Artists Show, was so taken with John M. King's picture, With Still Life,” that he asked Wilbur Peat lor thr girl’s telephone number.
