A POSSIBLE COMPROMISE F all the compromises yet proposed on the matter of differentials in the wage-hour controversy, the one suggested in the last few days impresses us as the simplest and best, if a compromise should prove the only way. The reason being that it leaves undebatable the $11-a-week base. And thereby it would settle that question of whether $11 for 44 hours work is too much for the nation that brags about being the richest in the world. It would limit discussion to figures above $11 a week;
{
would permit any employer to demand a hearing on the |
“escalator” clause which starts operating with the second vear of the act, when the minimum rises 5 cents an hour.
After 25 cents (or £11 for a 44-hour week) had been defi- |
nitely set by law as the
would be arrested. We believe it would be better that such a compromise be worked out than that the whole effort to establish a floor under wages and a ceiling on hours be allowed to fail. How such a compromise, if finally deemed necessary, could be made operative involves an issue basic to the whole long wage-hours dispute. If to regulate the escalator, to

WISE DECISION
RESIDENT ROOSEVELT and his leaders in Congress
made a wise decision yesterday. They decided not to attempt to pass the Government Reorganization Bill at this session. Early in the next ses-
sion, Senator Barkley and Rep. Rayburn said, they will press |
for
“some kind of effective reorganization of our Govern- |
ment in the interest of greater efficiency and practical econ- |
omy’—economy not having been stressed in the first bill.
Two months ago the country was torn by controversy | over this measure, which became a symbol of executive en- | croachment on the legislative, just as the Supreme Court |
Bill had been a symbol of executive encroachment on the judiciary. As such, it was beaten. To have revived it now—to have attempted to whip Congress into passing it at this time—would have been a tragic mistake. The country, in grave economic trouble, would have suffered too much from another bitter fight.

It's All Right for a President to Be Partial in State Elections, But Not While Using Public Funds.
EW YORK, June 1.—Nobody can seriously object to a President's expression of a desire for Senators and Congressmen who will do as he orders. If the President is a man who considers himself to be all-knowing, then he is only being consistent and, in & queer way, honest, when he asks for a purely nominal legislature, committed beforehand to every proposal which he may present, If a President has that opinion of himself, it is
=
his right to address the voters through his stooges, or |
even directly under his own name, with an.appeal that he be made supreme, legislatures entirely, but each to his own whim, and an American President-dictator might prefer to preserve the form, his appeal, however, the preservation of the form would represent a great unnecessary expense. Knowing that any White House bill would have the effect of a decree, he might, in the interests of economy, efliciency and speed, devise a bank check “aye” to he autegraphed by each member at the start of each session, and then send them all home and apply that
indorsement to all his commands. 5 IF is idle to argue that a President does wrong to ask the people to give him such , powers, disfuising the appeal in the form of White House indorsement in support of individual candidates. He is within his right, but it is then up to the people to analyze his request and his motives. weigh the effects and decide whether they want to abandon their ac-
customed form of government and yield to the will of one man, augmented, perhaps, by schemes purred In his ear by members of a secret political household. There is legitimate objections, however, against the use of Government money, the people's own money, to gel this power from them at the polls. This is the point that is purposely ignored in all the arguments in favor of President Roosevelt's interference in state politics. There were those who, in the beginning of the New Deal, were cynical enough to suggest that a President with billions at his disposal would yield to the temptation to use it to get further authority. That seemed utterly unthinkable then. Nevertheless, this was predicted, and the predictions have been borne out. ®

and Harry Hopkins, the greatest individual employer in the country, has dropped a hint to the dependent voters of Iowa, which may be interpreted as an admonition to vote right. A similar hint from Henry Ford to his employees would be considered outrageous, and might cause him to be yanked up. It is the sort of hint which has been denounced by New
Dealers as vicious arrogance in the case of private employers. But Senators and Congressmen who do
not obey the President's decrees will be fought by a
campaign fund taken out of the public treasury. That is what all the shouting is for. It isn't that a President must keep a still tongue in his head and pretend to be impartial in state elections. But no

Business By John T. Flynn
The Government Is Needing Expert Economists, Not an Advisory Body.
EW YORK, June 1.—Senator Bulkley of Ohio wants a national council to advise the Govern ment on matters of policy. He wants leaders of industry and labor to unite in an advisory body to tell the Government what it should do to get out of the depression. Secretary Roper had an idea like this when he came into office. council of leading businessmen inside the Department of Commerce. In the early days it exercised some influence. It favored the NRA. And then in 1934 it made a great contribution. It urged that the Government should continue the NRA but that the Govern= ment should step out of it and let business run it. It got no response to this and so it has kept up a kind of murmur ever since without getting anywhere. Now Senator Bulkley wants to do pretty much the same thing save that he would add a few labor people to the council. Senator Bulkley runs on the principle that these business and labor leaders know what can be done about our economic troubles. Business ought to have the right at all times to present its case fully to the proper Government authority. But Senator Bulkley wants to erect a small business group into a body with semisovereign powers, with the right to give its views to the President and Congress. Business has made up its mind about this depression. It believes that the depression can be ended by ending control by the Government of economic factors in our life. It has persistently preached that ‘all that is necessary is for the Government to let it alone. To create a council made up of businessmen is merely to give a kind of Government sanction to such recommendations.
Serious Adjustments Necessary

fifth-floor club window in New York City. It was a profoundly saddening occurrence.
But the |
point that most impressed us was the light it cast upon |
conditions in Germany. Looking down upon a concrete pavement five floors below is no pleasant experience. The hard surface there isn’t an attractive sight. It doesn’t promise enjoyment. But to Miss Liesel Wolf it looked better than going back to the land of her birth. She could leap to her death, but she couldn’t face the Nazis again. That tells a good deal, we suspect, of what has happened to Germany.

NE of the most interesting treatises on the habits of
It is becoming more and more clear that the business situation has gotten to a point where it cannot be improved save by certain very serious and difficult adjustments in the economic system. It would be far more intelligent to summon not an advisory council of businessmen, but an advisory council of experts who are really familiar with cecnomie law. This is something which has not been done up to the present time. Economists have been called to Washington. Economists have been sent to Washington by private interests. But for the most part they are men quite incompetent to deal with the problems confronting the Government. : The Government should summon a small council of the greatest economists in the country. Senator Bulkley's plan may have the appearance of doing something but it will really get us nowhere.

In View of F. D. R's Tax Speech
It Is Hard to Escape Idea That His Advisers Don't Want Recovery,
A apous, Md., June 1—A gentle criticism of °
the President's radio speech from Arthurdale on taxes is that several of its statements of fact were incorrect. As Senator Harrison tenderly suggested, the President was perhaps misinformed by Treasury officials. A new phrase appeared-—taxes on “increase of wealth” as though, under the Constitution, that is taxe able. Such is not the fact. Income only is taxable, If a man owns a herd, its natural increase is not taxable until he sells it and changes his “increase in wealth” into “income.” n

The fear of that chills business and delavs sales—the swift and constant turnover of what we call “good business.” It is neither accurate, logical nor fair and it is one cause retarding recovery. The Press ident didn’t tell his hearers about that. His illustrations were misleading and needlessly provocative of envy and class hatred. Opening with references to human misery as Scott's Run, the speech attacked the new tax bill as a device to prevent a Huey Long-"share-our-wealth™ program, Unless we are to change our economic syss tem to a form of communism, there can be no recovs ery unless money can be invested to make money, That is the economic system under which we became The old tax law prevented money from being invested to make money.

The Liberal View
By Harry Elmer Barnes
Writer Claims U. S., Through Its Exports, Is Giving Aid to Japan.
N*v YORK, June 1.—The Roosevelt Administrae tion has been accused of many contradictions, For example, while we were paying farmers under the AAA to cultivate land we were proceeding under the CCC and other agencies to reclaim more land for cultivation, But there is a far more serious contradiction, and one which is not at all necessary or inevitable. It is something which Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hull could and should correct at once. It is dealt with by Eliot Janeway in an article on “Japan's Partner” in Hare per's Magazine, Through our present exports to Japan we are not only making possible the Japanese conquests in China today but are preparing Japan for greater conquests, And at the same time we are planning to spend billions of dollars to protect ourselves against these future Japanese conquests As Mr. Janeway makes evident: “We are helping Japan to conquer North China by selling her the vital raw materials she needs for armaments.” Without our sales of scrap iron, steel and oil to Japan she literally could not proceed with her war against China. Even more colossal and momentous is our folly in helping Japan to carry through a second industrial revolution which will thoroughly mechanize her steel, armament and motor industries and render her largely independent of American oil. When this is accomplished Japan can proceed to attempt to cone quer Siberia or to defy the United States in Far Easte ern waters. Arms Costs Exceed Export Values
In the meantime our rearmament expenditures, which are directed almost exclusively at Japan, will amount to a much greater figure than the value of the Japanese imports from the United States. The absurdity of all this is thus summarized by Mr, Janeway: “Well, there is the story—a very simple one, Japan is the one nation in the world whose aggression we fear. Japan is the unashamed attacker of a country with whom we sympathize, whose magnificent defen« sive stand we admire heartily, In this attack have occurred atrocities—the bombing of universities, for example-—which shock the world, “American industry is selling Japan the goods which permit her to do this and to rear grandiose schemes for continuing to do this on a scale so huge that all western Asia will be reduced to the level of the Japanese subjects in Korea, “Here, then, is the paradox. The Japanese menace is made possible by American exports, Because of the Japanese menace our Government is building bat« tleships with money which might otherwise go for housing or to ease the tax burden of our people. What is to be done about this situation is up to the Amers= fcan people. Here are the facts.”
Watching Your Health
By Dr. Morris Fishbein
HERE are few people without birthmarks or other skin blemishes of one type or another,
The so-called strawberry birthmark is a mass of blood vessels collected in a knot near the surface, Sometimes they are flat, but in other cases they are elevated. According to the distance from the surface, they are either brilliant scarlet in color or blue. Another type of birthmark contains more cellular
tissue and less fluid. This type appears to be pale blue or gray in color and is not as spongy as the strawberry birthmark. Usually immediately after birth these spots may seem insignificant and small. Thereafter they may grow, reaching a fairly good size by the time the child is 3 weeks or several months old. Then they may stop growing and, in fact, may sometimes disappear. Another type of skin growth is called the port wine birthmark. These marks are collections of small blood vessels with various amounts of pigment deposited from the blood into the skin. They seldom get larger and there is not much that can be done for them, although occasionally they disappear alter suitable medical treatment with ultraviolet rays. In the past it has been customary to treat skin lesions of this type with the electric needle, to freeze them with carbon dioxide snow, to cauterize them with heat or various chemicals like carbolic acid or nitrie acid, to cut them out or to treat them with radium. A more recent method is to inject the blood vessels in such growths with various chemical substances that cause a slight inflammatory reaction inside the blood vessels, eventually resulting in scarring with oblitera« tion or disappearance of the birthmark, Such methods are exceedingly delicate, but when carried out under proper conditions by a physician who has been suitably trained in the method, the results are in most ine stances exeellent,
