What is Important today may be nothing tomorrow: what was nothing yesterday may become all Important now. Once man was helpless without his horse, camel, ox, yak. ass, mule, reindeer, dog sled or tame elephant Now, in civilization, they mean little, while Lloyd George tells you, “Oil la the decisive factor In the Abyssinian campaign." Os all the great powers whose attitude is being canvassed, that of King Gasoline is most important Without oil, .Mussolini cannot win his war; with oil. victory Is certain. Japan at the naval conference will consider nothing less than a battle fleet as big as any the United States may build; no 5-5-3 ratio. No American should object to that if Japan can afford It It Is not the size of the fleet that counts. Unfortunate Spanis > grandees In charge of the great Armada could testify to that after they met Elizabeth's small fleet and big sea captains. Also, there it the fact that If real war started, above the clouds and under water, every fighting nation would hide Its battleship targets out of airplane sight In safe harbors; many battleships or few would make no difference. Senator Borah tells over the microphone what the country needs: Support of the Constitution: a fight against those who would undermine It The destruction of monopoly without necessarily enacting new legislation. An end to crop restriction. Senator Borah says restriction has always failed In depression ever since the days of Roman emperors.

News Review of Current Events the World Over ♦ ' President’s Defense of AAA and Canadian Treaty—ltaly t Offered Peace Plan at Ethiopia's Expense—Naval Conference Seems Hopeless. By EDWARD W. PICKARD • WoMfrn Nawspapar Union. I''-<. ; ■ : '

I■' ’ - - WHILE the United States Supreme court wag bearing oral arguments In the Hoosac Mills case In which the constitutionality of the wholg.Agrlcul-

tural Adjustment act ; was attacked and de- ! fended, president i Roosevelt was in Chi- ! ! cago seeking to Justify j l the entire New Deal | farm program. He adI dressed the American i Farm Bureau federation in the InternaI tional Amphitheater at 1 the stock yards and was beard and enthusiastically applaud- I ed by some 25.000 ,

farmers and as many others as could get into the theater and adjoining wings supplied with loud speakers. The farm program, the President ’ said, aimed to “stop the rule of tooth and claw that threw farmers into bankruptcy or turned them into serfs.” As evidence that It is succeeding, be asserted that farm Income “has Increased nearly $3,000,000,000 in the past two and a half years.” Necessarily Mr. Roosevelt defended the new Canadian trade treaty because only two days before that pact had been bitterly attacked by his late trade adviser, George N. Peek. "Just as I am confident,” said the President, "that the great masses of city people are fair-minded, so I am sure that the great majority of American farmers will be fair in their judgment of the new treaty. “If the calamity howlers should happen to be right, you have every assurance that Canada and the United States will join in correcting inequalities, but I do not believe for a single moment that tbe calamity howlers are right. “We export more agricultural products to Canada than we have Imported from her. “We shall continue to do so, for tbe very simple reason that the United States, with its larger area of agrleull tural land. Its more varied climate and Its vastly greater population, produces far more of most agricultural products, including animal products, vegetables and fruit, than does Canada. "In the case of the few reductions that have been made, quota limitations are set on the amount that may be brought In at tbe lower rates.” In his analysis of the Canadian agreement, Peek showed that 84 per cent of the tariff concessions which tbe New Dealers granted to Canada were on agricultural and forestry products. He also showed that the articles on which the New Dealers granted tariff reductions amounted to 308 million dollars In 1929. whereas Canada in re- : turn had granted concessions on articles valued at only 245 million dollars. After completing his speech and eating luncheon with a lot of local notables. the President went to South Bend. Ind., where he received an honorary degree from Notre Dame university and delivered another address. T) EFORE the American Farm Bureau *■* federation closed its convention in j Chicago, it adopted a resolution endorsing reciprocal trade treaties. To •void dissension, the resolution did not mention specifically the recent trade agreement between Canada and the United States, which lowered tbe duty many farm products coming tn over > <lie northern border. Another of the 17 resolutions adopted at the meeting concerned “federal fiscal policies." Indicating their un- ! easiness over the mounting federal deficit, the farmer* recommended that | the fiscal policies of the government I be modified, and that "Its revenues shall be Increased, and that its expen. ditures shall be decreased, to the end that within the next few years a balance shall be attained." The federation also approved a res- ’ button pledging Itself to defend the I Agricultural Adjustment admlnistra- I tion act. The meeting ottered no seri- ■ ous criticism of the act. but asked that It* administration be simplified. J The delegates, representing a paid I up membership of farmers in 87 states, re-elected Edward A. O’Neal of Alabama a* president of the federation for a term of two years. -Charles E. Hearst was re-elected vice president and all 15 members of the board of directors were reappointed. ITALY la being punished for starting 1 the war against Ethiopia, and will be well paid for stopping it That In a nutshell is tbe status at this writing. Great Britain and France reached an agreement as to tbe offer to be matte to Mussolini before the imposition of an oil embargo, net for December 12. This plan for peace, drawn up by British Foreign Secretary Sir Samuel Hoar* and Premiei Laval, was based on the proposal that Italy should retain part of tbe territory already conquered in Ethiopia, chiefly -n northwestern Tigre province. Including Adowa but not the sacred city of Ak■um, and that tbe Italian Somaliland border should be rectified, in return. Ethiopia would be given a seaport, either in Eritrea or in British or French territory. Thus poor Ethiopia, already declared by the League of Nations to be a victim of Italian rapacity, would be still further victimized with tbe consent of the two great power* that dominate the league. Presumably, fit?f'Or WXbC terms and decide* to continue his fight for the territorial inviolability gwerantced by th* league coven ant. he will be abandoned to his fata : _ ■

wished and does not wish war. But today we are bound to defend our soil, which Italy has violated. "Ethiopia agreed at the time of the j Paris conference and the meeting of | the League of Nations committee of : five to all concessions comparable to j its dignity, to avoid Italian aggression, j but that aggression has been committed. We cannot submit to force which we never provoked, because that would be rewarding violence.” Since Mussolini showed a disposition to consider the proposals, the oil embargo was |»osti>oned to permit negotiations. If he rejects the plan the embargo would go into effect later and * supposedly the war In Africa would continue at least until tbe rainy season- next spring. . Italian airplanes bombed the city of Dessye three days In succession but Haile Selassie, who was there, escaped Injury. However, the American hospital and a Red Cross cfmp were practically wrecked and many persons were killed or wounded. pROBABLY with slight hope of ac- • complishlng anything worth while, representatives of tbe United States, Great Britain, France and Japan met

I in Ixmdon and opened the international naval conference. Italy also was represented, but only as an observer • and listener. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin welcomed the deleI gates In a smooth address asking the chief I sea powers to lessen I some of their demands to “avert the calamity of unrestricted naval competition.”

V Admiral Nagano

Norman H. Davis offered President ■ Roosevelt’s suggestion of a 20 per cent : reduction In existing naval treaty ton- | nage. or, falling that, a continuance of present fleet limitations. Then arose Admiral Osaml Nagano, chief of the Japanese delegation, and told the conference that Japan demanded parity with Great Britain and the United States instead of the existing 5-5-3 ratio and requested a “just and fair agreement on disarmament" He said in part: .“A new treaty, in the view of the Japanese government, should be based upon the fundamental idea of setting up ... a common limit of naval armaments to be fixed as low as possible, which they shair not be allowed to exceed; simultaneously, offensive forces must be drastically reduced ahd ample defensive forces provided, so as to bring about a substantial measure of disarmament thus securing a state of i nonmenace and nonaggression among the powers.” After several days of discussion and i debate, the Japanese demand for parity | was flatly rejected by tffe delegates of the four other nations. The French delegates were prepared to accept drastic limitation and even ' reduction of tonnage and gun calibers on individual ships; but they thought land and air armament issues must be considered In any discussion of the relative strength of navies. Italy reaffirmed her loyalty to the principle of limitation and reduction of armaments. The pessimistic feeling that prevailed was attributed to the Japanese demand for parity, the rivalry in the i Mediterranean between France and Italy, the war tn Ethiopia an 1 Its sanctions developments and recent occurrence* In north China. Any one of which might well wreck the conference. THE United States and Great Britain. In the conference at Washington. agreed upon a plan that is exI pected to result In regular air mail and passenger transportation across the Atlantic by the summer of 1937. Negotiations were under way tor the northern route byway of Canada. Newfoundland. and Irish Free State to England, and the southern route from I’orto Rico and American ports to England. The northern route Is more practicable than the southern route because of the shorter distance, but la lees practicable in winter because flights would be undertaken under less favorable conditions. Under the agreement experimental flights will begin next summer. When regular service Is Inaugurated, according to the agreement, four round trips will be tnade each week.

SYRACUSE JOURNAL

TORN J. LEWIS, president of tbe J United Mine Workers and head of the “rebel" committee on industrial organization that is seeking to gain control of the American Federation of Labor, Invited President William Green of the federation to resign and accept chairmanship of the committee. In a tetter to Lewis, Green declared that he nevefr had associated himself with any minority seeking to split the A. F. of L., and never would do so. He mildly rebuked the insurgents by saying that be himself “in a spirit of good sportsi manship took It on the chin" whenever ’ he had found himself outvoted in the A. F. of L. convention. ADMINISTRATION officials state ** that President Roosevelt will ask the new congress for a. $100,000,000 appropriation as the initial fund to launch the federal social security program going Into effect January 1. The j fund is to be distributed among the I states for the needy old aged in the form of pensions, for maternity and child welfare, and to aid the blind. h State commissioners and public weli fare directors were summoned to Washington by the social security board to discuss formulation of regulations and procedure. POLITICIANS, especially Republicans 1 were greatly interested in a meeting in Washington between former Vice President Charles Curtis and Senator Rorah, and its possible Implications. Curtis insisted to the press that he is still advocating the nomination of Gov. ! Alf Landon of Kansas for the Presidency. but the Idaho senator is himself a leading possibility for that honor. Curtis had recently had a conference with Landon in Topeka, but he said there was no connection between that ; and his call on Borah. Tbe ex-Vlce President said of the ■ nomination: “I have no second choice, but a lot depends on what happens at the convention. I have the highest regard for the senator. I'm for Landon, who is well equipped to run, after giving us an economic administration in Kansas—something we need here In Washington more now than ever before." CARLOS MENDIETA resigned as president of Cuba because of a fierce quarrel in the government over procedure for the election of a constitutional president. Mendieta had held the office for two years. Secretary of State Barnet took over the office and reappointed all members of the cabinet, and preparations for the election went ahead. r /CONTINUOUS rioting In Cairo, dlnu rected against British control of Egypt, attacks on English soldiers and smashing of street-cars and shop win-

dows, forced Premier Nessim Pasha and his cabinet to decide to resign. The rioters demanded the restoration of the constitution of 1923 and the ministers pleaded with Sir “Miles Lampson, British high commissioner, to give his con- | sent. He was obdurate in his refusal until ' Nessim Pasha an- ,

■mbH King Fuad. ■ .. . .

nounced that he would quit, but yield- ■ i ed then to avoid disorders similar to those of 1919. \ | Therefore, with the consent of Great Britain, King Fuad signed a royal de- | cree restoring constitutional government, and the cabinet members withi drew their resignations. The constitution thus restored provides for a senate and chamber of deputies I takes control of Egypt’s Internal affairs completely out of British hands. It I does not, however, affect Britain’s con- ; trol of Egyptian foreign affairs, nor the i British military protectorate. NORTH CHINA autonomists, supported by the Japanese armies, evidently are too much for the Nan- I king government, of which Chiang Kaishek has now become the premier. The provinces of Hopei and Chahar. with a I population of 30,000.000 or more, have been granted virtual self-rule under a political council. The central government made only three stipulations—that Nanking would continue to control the new state’s foreign affairs, financial. military and judiciary matters; that all appointments would. be made by Nanking, and that’ there would be | nosctual independence for the area. No machinery was provided to pre | vent the new council from doing exactly as it pleased under Japanese protec- | tlon and guidance. Bruno Hauptmann, convicted oi kid"spl.ig and murdering the Lindbergh baby, lost almost his last chance of escaping the electric chair when the Supreme court refused to review his case. The decision was made through the single word “Denied." Hauptmann's attorneys had announced previously that, in the event ! a review was refused, they would seek a new trial if new evidence could be Ybtmd and would appea. for a commutation of the death sentence to Use im- | prlsonment. | IN THE opinion of the lawyers’ comI* mittee of the American Liberty league, the Guffey coal act la unconstitutional. Although this law. Intended to stabilize the soft coal Industry, has I been upheld completely by one federal judge and partly by another, the committee said It violated the Constitution in that it: L “Capriciously and arbitrarily infringes upon the Individual liberties of producers and employees’’ and 2. “Undertakes to regulate activities which are essentially and Inherently i local In character." /CONSUMERS who buy potatoes tn ! * regular retail establishments are ’ not Hable to a fines as high as SI,OOO If the spuds are grown and marketed to violation of the potato control set. !

Washington.—A politician without a problem confronting him is virtually _ -j.. , unknown. Whether rolittcal he be a big shot in JProMem* political life or just a ward heeler, his Mf* to constantly beset with difficultie*. Those difficulties always have •nd always will force him to' wiggle and squirm and sprout additional gray hairs. The newest problem worrying politicians is the Townsend old age pension proposal. Promoters of that fantastic scheme are gaining such a headway that even James A. Farley, postmaster general, chairman of the Democratic national committee and chairman of the New York state Democratic committee, is currently reported to be developing frowns on his otherwise smiling face. When Mr. Farley begins to get worried, there is cause, indeed, for all of the other politicians, big and little, to get worried. The Republicans also are concerned about the Townsend plan. But it is not quite as important to the Republicans as it Is to the Democrats to take a stand on the Townsend plan because the Democrats are in control of the national administration and obviously they are on the defensive. I The battle being pressed by Mr. Townsend and his satellite's is no small I concern. Impossible as it is of opera- ! tion; doomed to ultimate failure as such a scheme must definitely be, it continues to expand in its scope of poI litlcal influence and has arrived at the/ 1 point where it constitutes a power [ that must be reckoned with by all. I am convinced that anyone who will analyze the Townsend plan cannot help arriving at the conclusion that it is comparable to the fantasy of the "Mississippi bubble.” When the Mississippi bubble broke, not thousands but millions were disillusioned, if not utterly destroyed, and their economic future, so glowingly painted, was completely wrecked. • • • Tip Townsend plan which contemplates payment of two hundred dollars . per month to the inTownuna digent is one of those Plan things that develops invariably in periods of economic distress. It is distinctly a product of hard times. When people are out of work and without resources; when they are suffering, they are always prey to any •nd all argument offering them relief. The conditions exact even a greater i toll, a toll leading to crime. Only a , few days ago the chief of the secret service, W. H. Moran, told me that it j was a characteristic of hard times that : counterfeiters of currency were more I active. Idle hands will find something : to do and the clever crook will take advantage of the situation. While every one ]who has talked with Doctor Townsend recognizes his sincerity, his earnest desire to accomplish relief for the aged and indigent population, ! believe it is an indisputable fact that Doctor Townsend’s plan would not get to first base except for the fact that this country now has millions of citizens who are almost if not quite without food. The point I am trying to make is that Doctor Townsend’s scheme, idle dream that it is, has been put forward | at one of the few times in this nation’s history when it is possible to amass a , following of political importance. It | is only in times such as these that people would pay attention to it It ; will die down and his organization will crumble sometime in the future but this will not happen until It has caused plenty of grief, until .it has wrecked political fortunes of countless scores of men and women who guess wrong and until probably It has produced a burden of taxation upon thia | nation the like of which never haa . been seen before. In the forthcoming campaign. I believe we will see numerous political candidates, otherwise sound in their thinking, affirm the validity of the Townsend plan. They will commit themselves to its support because political maneuvers will force them into that position. Some of them, probably more than we now Imagine, will be elected to congress and they will bring a gigantic headache to Uncle Sam who must foot tbe bill. Townsend plan supporters in all of their preachments have consistently talked of their proposition from its beauteous side. It is susceptible of that because it is easy to point out what a blessing it would be to have I each aged person receive a monthly I check of two hundred dollars from the ■ government But there is another side to tbe picture. It Is basic. Where will the government get the moheyT Townsend spokesmen have figured out a visionary taxation scheme to raise the amount of money required but the thing they do not discuss is the fundamental fact that by their taxation scheme they will depreciate our national currency and will load upon those who are willing to work such a burden of taxation that soon there win be a clamor from three out of four of the population for some kind of a government payment The end then would be obvious because after all government as such produce* nothing. All that it pays out must be taken from those who produce. in adverting to the Townsend plan as I have done, I have attempted to set forth In a manAnofAwr ner what I believe to Problem «»® one of the greatest dangers of the present day, namely, the absence of dear thinking.

tlons actually are and without considering what the ultimate effect would be. It seems worth while to consider another national problem which, though of an economic nature and less sensational in its outward appearance,, is nevertheless very real. This problem concerns our transportation system. Shortly after President Roosevelt took office we were»deluged with argument that amounted to propaganda favoring government ownership of the railroads. There was a reaction against this Idea. The reaction was so strong that few politicians dared to unloose their demagogery in favor of government ownership. Yet, it is perfectly evident that those who favor perpetuating private enterprise which is always more efficienvand less wasteful than any government are In danger of being lulled to sleep. Crack pots and misguided theorists- in great numbers still favor government ownership of the railroads. They are still working. The government ownership problem is not dead. It is only concealed from the eyes of most of us for the time being. Certain developments of the past sev-/ eral months confirm the statement I have just made. Taken singly, these developments appear insignificant Collectively, they are very important I have heard it charged that government ownership advocates have a weli--1 laid plan to wreck private ownership in the rail Industry. This charge goes further. It asserts that those who seek to destroy our profit system are proceeding, piecemeal, to load a burden of charges upon the railroads so that in the end it will be a physical impossibility for the railroad corporations to earn a profit Indeed. It Is alleged that the scheme contemplates eventual burdening of the rail lines to the ex--tent where they cannot make their ex : peases. • • • Obviously, if that end were attained, bankruptcy would follow. Then, there 1 would be no alternate Meant tive but legislative Bankruptcy action placing the railroads in government ownership. Our wartime experience ought to be sufficient to demonstrate how the costs mount when the government operates the railroads.. It means more taxes on every one of us who has income whether it be large or small But to get back to the developments mentioned earlier. Whether there exists an actual plan to drive the railroads Into bankruptcy or not, the developments certainly are subject to that surmise. One of the items of expense. a new burden of cost that Is proposed to be loaded on the railroads, is the rail pension law. 1 have seen some statistical calculations which were convincing to me at least that the charges proposed to be levied upon the railroads by the law will not work out in the manner their proponents claim. The bill would assess each rail corporation per cent of its payroll and each worker would contribute a proportionate amount of his salary toward his pension when he retires. Like the Townsend plan, no one can argue against the fine spirit actuating a move to protect the retired workers. But to go behind the figures at the start one finds certain astonishing facts. Almost any way. almost any method, one uses to calculate this cost, forces the conclusion that after eight or ten years the pension system will have expanded to such an extent that the railroads will be carrying an annual charge on their payroll of not 3Mi per cent but approximately 15 per cent. I thlqk It goes without saying that no Industry can bear such a tax as that and continue to operate. In addition to the pension proposition, labor unions, aided by their cats’pa ws in congress have kept up a steady machine gun fire, demanding first one thing and then another from the carriers. For instance, one of the current demands—and It is likely to succeed tn some form—is the movement for shorter hours for practically the entire list of railroad employees. Os course, the railroads cannot justify working their employees longer than eight hours except in an emergency. It is possible that a seven-hour day might be practiced. But even a sevenhour day would mean that the railroads must add to their operating costs, and any item added to operating costs reduces the ebance of the corporations for an even break between income and outgo. There are a number of other such demands or movements under way or in the offing. Each bne means a new burden, a new tax on the railroads. This would not be so bad in itself but the effect comes back to all of us. Unless the carrier* are able to earn their expenses they cannot give the service required by a nation such as ours. When railroad service suffers every form of business suffers lo . consequence. and that goes as much for agriculture as for the most densely populated industrial area. Railroad corporations have many skeletons in their closets which they cannot explain nor justify. They have shortcomings, many of them yet the point Is that we must have transportation. Tbe people need the railroads as badly as the railroads need th* people. If there are evils, they ought to be corrected, but I believe the argument is irrefutable, that it is unwise to destroy a whole unit of industry because of a few cancerous sores that can be eradicated. • Western Hewapnoer Untoa.
