In the murder of an unfortunate young woman, New York detectives think they see, at last, “the perfect crime.” one in which the perpetrator cannot be Identified. Fortunately, there Is no perfect crime,, except In the Imagination of the criminal or the detective story writer, because criminals are dull, cannot keep their mouths shut, are vain, boast and the electric chair gets them. Also, they jump when a hand Is laid on the shoulder; that helps detectives, •nd criminals are betrayed by fellow criminals. Bishop Stewart.

It is conceivable that selection of the celestial few might be postponed • few million years, until real civilisation shall have.begun. This Is the poison gas age. Rivers have played an important part in the world's history and in wars. The Tigris and Euphrates, creating fertile Mesopotamia, and the ancient Kile, with its rich valley, regularly coated with Nile mud, made the first civilizations possible. Men fought through the ages about those two rivers, and today rivers still cause war. In Europe the Rhine border may cause a repetition of the big war. In Africa, the Blue Nile, fed by Ethiopia’s Lake Tana, breeds bitter hatred between England and Italy.

News Review of Current Events the World Over Illinois Primary Results Interesting and Significant —New Tax Bill Drafted—President Roosevelt Favors Flood Control Projects. By EDWARD W. PICKARD © Western Newspaper Union. J

ILLINOIS’ primary held the emter of political interest for It not only provided lively state battles but also was of considerable moment nationally. Col. Frank Knox, pub--1 Usher of the Chicago Dally News, and Sent a^? r ®° rah 0t I,labo, - who was born In Hili'' ‘ ‘ T* I nolsT'were the contest- , kH ants for the Repub- / 1 llcan Presidential preferentlal vote, and the former came out with 31 delegates against 26 fWrp * for Borah. The senator's friends were Frank Knox elate< i because, without organisation, be carried a large part of the state outside of Chicago. This preferential vote Is purely advisory and neither man has a slate of delegates to the national convention. The result makes it certain that Knox will make a respectable showing on the first roll call It also adds to Borah's prestige and aids him In the coming Ohio primary.Gov. Henry Horner, seeking renomination, was victorious In the -bitter fight with the regular Democratic organisation and the Kelly-Nash machine In Chicago, which had thrown him overboard and supported Bundesen for governor. The Democrats almost unanimously voted for the renomination of Senator James Hamilton Lewis, and the Republicans named Former Senator Otis Glenn to oppose him in November. Republican leaders In Washington I were encouraged to believe the internecine warfare in the Democratic ranks would help the Republicans to carry the state. The Democratic sages, on the other hand, liked the showing of strength made by Borah, feeling his liberal following might switch to Roosevelt in November If the G. O. P. puts up a conservative candidate. In Nebraska’s primary only Borah’s name was printed on the Republican preferential ballot but about bneslxth of the voters wrote In the name of Gov. Alf Landon of Kansas. For the Democratic preference President Roosevelt was unopposed In both Illinois and Nebraska. DEFEATING opposition by President Roosevelt’s supporters, the state Democratic executive committee of Georgia ordered a Presidential preferential primary on June 3 and fixed the entrance fee for each candidate at SIOJX». •The New Deal has plenty of money to pay for a primary In Georgia and I am in favor of letting them do It,” said Will Mann, close personal and political friend of Gov. Eugene Talmadge, administration critic. The governor was asked directly whether be would oppose President Roosevelt in tbe primary. “I don’t know," he answered. “1 am pretty busy with state affairs right now. It depends on how things shape up in tbe state." HAVING discarded the President’s suggestion of temporary processing taxes. Chairman Sam B. Hill’s house subcommittee completed its draft of the new tax bill. It calls for a new h type of corporation ■BHPKjJB | levy, ranging from 1 K per cent to 29.7 per cent for corporations BB| with net income up to IKS’ ' SIO,OOO, and from 4 to 1 42H P*r cent for cor- I porations with net Income over 310.000. de- fj-wM pending on the amount of earning* that are _ not distributed. Pref- Bam Hjl erentlal tax treatment is given to banks and Insurance companies, to debt-ridden companies, to companies in receivership, and a new system of taxing non-resident aliens Is created. Railroads will continue to have the right to file consolidated returns but the committee refused to accept the petition of R. V. Fletcher, general counsel for the Association of American Railroads, that railroads ns • segregated group of industry, be given • variety of special deductions in computing taxable net income. WITH appropriate ceremony tbe cornerstone of the new Interior department building in Washington was laid, the President handling the trow eL The structure, the second largest government office building there, is to be completed in December. It covers five and one-half acres and will provide 700.000 square feet of usable floor •pace. It will cost 312,000,000, about $5,000,000 less than tbe capital’s largest, the Commerce department building. The trowel used by Mr. Roosevelt was the one employed by George W asbSton in laying tbe cornerstone of the pltol In 1793. IN HIS press conference President Roosevelt said government dejMirtmenta are concentrating on flood control problems and that If congress would pass a bill appropriating a billion dollars for that purpose he would sign it, provided the measure put men to work Immediately. Mr. Roosevelt said tbe Panaimaquoddy project in Maine and Florida ship canal were eliminated because of tbe recent refusal of congress to make appropriations for continuance of the work. He said he did not contemplate doling out relief funds for the project* and that there would be no finds for the projects unless congress reversed its refusal. On the same day the United States Chamber of Commerce issued a warning again** encroschmeut of the federal government on flood control prqjtty ot the Mates.

Taking cognisance of pending legislation calling for huge federal expenditures on water control projects, the chamber's committee on natural resources insisted that responsibility of the federal government comes only in the case of projects on major streams and affecting a number of states, or of unquestioned concern to the nation as a whole. The committee also objected to the New Deal policy of expending large sums for dams to develop hydro-elec-tric power and declared that the administration should follow a well-bal-anced program having as its foremost purpose tbe control of floods. BY A vote of 153 to 137 the bouse rejected a resolution to permit Senator Black's lobby committee to pay $19,000 to special counsel in Injunction litigation started by William Randolph Hearst to protect his telegrams from the probers. This action, which followed a bitter debate, doesn’t halt the work of the committee, which has its own funds, but it prevents the payment: of more than $3,600 a year, in accordance with general law. to Crampton Harris of Birmingham, Ala., former law partner of Chairman Black. The lobby committee in a recent session brought out the fact that some wealthy men who are • backers of the American Liberty league also have contributed to the Southern Committee to Uphold the Constitution, though what this has to do with lobbying was not quite clear. The Southern committee, which Is headed by John Henry Kirby of Houston, Texas, Is opposed to some of the New Deal doings. SUDDEN death, due to a coronary thrombosis, came to James M. Beck at his residence in Washington, and all informed Americans mourn tbe demise of this public spirited citizen and eminent I authority on constltutlonal law. Though be B was a sturdy and con- B scienttous opponent of ■ the present national I administration, lead- ■ Ing officials tn Washington united with the Bp3B|M Republicans in declar- Mk ing that in his death the nation had suemined a great loss. ' ' Mr. Beck was not only one of the foremost lawyers of America but for more than three decade* was a public man of distinction, holding numerous offices nt Washington, and an influential place in tbe counsels of the Republican party. Born in Philadelphia In 1861, he first held office as United States attorney for the eastern district of Pennsylvania, as a Democrat He left that party on the silver issue and was made an assistant attorney general by President McKinley. In 1921 Mr. Harding appointed him solicitor general, an office which he filled with distinction. He then served three terms In congress, where he was one of the best debaters, and retired tn 1934 because he thought congress had become • “robber sump." Since then be had been prominent in the legal attacks on various phases of the New Deal. Richard Yates, former governor of Blinois and former congressman, died in Springfield at the age of seventy-five years. The son of the Civil war governor of the state, Mr. Yates was for many years a picturesque figure In Illinois politics and an influential member of the Republican party. MUSSOLINI’S armies in Ethiopia occupied Dessye, an Important military base, and captured vast stores ! of war materials. Marshal Badogllo at once started an expeditionary force along the excellent road from there to Addis Ababa, and It was believed the capital city would be captured within a few days. Stiffened by military successes in Africa, the Italian delegation went to Geneva for peace conversations, prepared to demand a peace on Italy’s terms. Including virtual Italian control of the entire empire of Haile Selassie. Settlement of the matter within the framework of the League of Nation* seemed remote if not impossible. PLANS for mutual defense In case Germany attacks France or Belgium were studied by the general staffs of Greet Britain, France and Belgium at a meeting in London. High officers of the armies, navies and air forces were present, with expert* to assist them. ,i' It was understood that a major feature of tbe plan would be to reply to any German attack with a terrific aerial bombardment by massed fleet* on German Industrial centers, railways, army headquarter*, airdrome* and seaports. It was clear that the relatively small British professional army could not give a great deal of help against German aggression, and that Britain’s effective aid would be rendered by her navy, which could easily seize control of tbe North sea and the channel, and her steadily increasing air forces. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, attended Easter service* at St Thomas Episcopal church, after the First Lady had witnessed the Knights Templar sunrise service at the Arlington amphitheater. Next day the President went to Baltimore where he addressed the Maryland Young Democratic clubs. Mr. Roosevelt accepted an invitation to speak before tbe annual convention .of the Daughters of tbe American Revolution which ope** 1 * in Washington April 20.

BEFORE the senate subcommittee on labor appeared spokesmen for organized labor with , charges that there Is a great movement of machine guns, tear gas and police clubs into industrial centers for use in contending with strikes and attendant disorders. The first witness to tell the story of the arming of industrial plants for conflicts with labor was J. P. Barria, a steel worker from Portsmouth, Ohio. In support of bls assertions came a mass of data compiled by tbe senate munitions Investigating committee and presented at the hearing by Heber Blankenhorn, an employee of tbe national labor relations board. At one point Harris testified that ho knew the Wheeling Steel corporation at Portsmouth was “arming," • statement that brought from corporation officials at Portsmouth an assertion that company police were armed to protect property against “thieves and firebugs, and they will continue to be armed." At another point in the hearing there was testimony that general “rumors" were being circulated that the Ford Motor company was “shot through" with spies, hired to report on the activities of labor. ABOUT tlx hundred men and women, members of the recently or* ganlzed Unemployed Workers’ Alliance, staged a big parade of “hunger marchlers" in Washington, shouting demands, singing and waving banners. They sought to present a petition to President Roosevelt in the Whits House but the best they could do was to obtain an audience from Secretary Marvin Mclntyre for a delegation headed by Vice Pres. David Lasser, presiQarner dent of the nuance. Lasser declared after spending 30 minutes with the President’s secretary: “Mr. Mclntyre gave us a lot of nice words, but nothing substantial. It nothing is done to give these people jobs there will be a hunger march on Washington next summer in which hundreds of thousands will take part We are tired of Mr. Roosevelt’s promissory notes." Lasser and his delegation also called on Vice President Garner at the Capitol and got even less satisfaction from him. “The jobless feel that we have been sold out by the Democratic party,” Lasser declared. “I resent that** snapped the Vice President reddening; "I have been in politics for 40 years and I don’t think anybody has ever been sold out by the party.” The marchers carried banners and placards with such inscriptions as: “Give tbe bankers home relief; we want jobsl" “Slaves will not be killed," “We demand employment insurance,” “Pass the Marcantonlo bill," this being a 6 blUlon-dollar relief bill introduced by ths New York city representative. y FOLLOWING a conference with Maj. " Gen. Johnson Hagood, who was removed from command of the Eighth corps area for criticising WPA methods, President Roosevelt took the soldier back Into his good graces and appointed him to the command of the Sixth corps area with headquarters in Chicago. He will replace Maj. Gen. Frank McCoy and the assignment takes effect May 2. General McCoy is transferred to the Second corps area at New York to succeed Maj. Gen. Dennis E. Nolan, who is retiring. PLUTARCO ELIAS CALLES, former president of Mexico and for long the most powerful figure In that republic, was forcibly exiled to tbs United States, together with three other once prominent citizens, by the Mexican government, which declared their presence there was dangerous to the welfare of the country. Summarily ousted with Calles, who for 11 years ruled Mexico with an iron hand, were Lola Morones, former minister of labor and leader of the regional confederation of workers and peasants; Luis de Leon, former minister of the interior and agriculture; and Rafael Melchor Ortega, former governor of Guanajuato. The four men were, by order of President Cardenas, placed aboard a plane at Mexico City and taken across the border to Brownsville, Texas. From there they took another plane to California. Leftists charged that Calles and his associates were fomenting agitstlon against the Cardenas administration. This Calles denied, adding: “A state of anarchy exists In Mexico and communism Is spreading with government help." SOMETHING new tn Spanish history took place in Madrid. The parliament, by a vote of 238 to 5, ousted Niceto Alcala Zamora from the office of president of the republic. This action, accomplished by a coalition of Socialists, Communists. Left Republicans and ten minor groups, was taken on a Socialist motion that the president had acted illegally in dissolving the last parliament before the elections and that therefore he should be expelled from office. Back of this motion, however lay radical sentiment that Zamora, in using bls power according to personal whim, has hampered the progress of the “republican revolution." Diego Martines Barrio, speaker of parliament, was made temporary president to serve until elections are held. IN THEIR formal acceptances <rf the invitations «r the United States government to the forthcoming Inter-Amer-ican peace conference, three of the Latin American nations have proposed that a league of American nations be formed to preserve peace in tbe western hemisphere. The suggestion comes firom Presidents Alfonso Lopes of Colombia, Jorge UMco of Guatemala and Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic. They believe the proposed league would be not only a means ot prevenUng war in the New World but also would be an effective adjunct to organlzati<HMi working to preserve peace in all tbe wori&

Im t National Topicg Interpreted XI by William Bruckart National Frssa Building Washington, D. C.

Washington.—lt has beeh several months since the administration farm relief program, the Memory agricultural adjustLingera On ment act, was declared dead, but like the words of the song, “the memory lingers on.” And it is quite apparent that mistakes as well as memories of the AAA will continue through the heat of the coming Presidential campaign and probably considerably longer for It is only necessary to recall that the stepbrother of the AAA. the federal farm board of the Hoover administration, still is the butt of much criticism and many pointed paragraphs. One of the main reasons why tbe memories linger on, where those memories Involve AAA, is Michigan’s Republican Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg. Senator Vandenberg never did get enthusiastic about the merits of AAA as they were expounded by Secretary Wallace, Administrator Chester Davis and other New Deal spokesmen and when the Supreme court of the United States threw out the processing taxes upon which the law Was predicated, Senator Vandenberg was In a delightful spot from a political standpoint He has not found It necessary to say “I told you so” and has had, I imagine, a great deal of personal fun In dimply hinting to or reminding others of bls previous stand. But It was not until the Michigan senator began pulling figures out of his senatorial hat showing how benefit payments from the AAA had gone to great and wealthy corporations in sums as high as a million dollars or more, that he held a key to the New Deal skeleton closet They know now, however, exactly what he meant when he announced in the senate several weeks ago that no such plan as the AAA could be administered without vast sums being distributed tn what he termed unwarranted payments—unwarranted from the standpoint of help for the smaller farmers. Secretary Wallace stalled off Senator Vandenberg’s demand In the senate for a complete list of beneficiaries who received checks from AAA in excess of one thousand dollars for quite a while but there were too many senators who believed as Senator Vandenberg did, that the truth ought to be known. Os course, as the procedure usually goes in Washington, many things are done without actual force being used. It was thus in the case of the AAA payments. Democratic senators who foresaw their inability to prevent a senate vote demanding a list of AAA payments persuaded Mr. Wallace to make public the list voluntarily and it was done just In advance of senate action. So, we now have for the first time, at least, an indication of the grotesque results of the agricultural adjustment administration program that was hailed from the Atlantic to the Pacific as an ideal plan. • • • The dynamite In the situation lies in the fact that there were dozens, even hundreds, of Dynamite corporations which in /f received AAA checks among the big bounties paid to induce curtailment of basic forage crops. This would not be so bad except for the fact that the brilliant planners of the AAA continuously stressed its value to the small, debt ridden farmers. Throughout the time the law was under consideration and through the two years of its operation, never did Mr. Wallace or Mr. Davis fall to point out in their numerous speeches how great sums of money, collected In processing taxes, were being distributed to thousands of farmers and that these payments were to time going to put agriculture on its collective feet. Now, however, the truth of their statements has been proved but when the whole truth had been exposed on the floor of the senate, It was found to go far beyond the small, debt ridden fanners. The whole truth disclosed, to fact, that several million dollars had been paid even to corporations chartered by the British government and with home offices in England. Wall Street, ' that home of “entrenched greed," re- \ cetved its share and its share was snb- ! ztantiat On top of all of this there ! lately has come • disclosure that • great wheat farmer to Montana received something like $50,000 for sgreeing not to plant wheat on land which he had rented from the Indians through the Federal Department of the Inte- ‘ rior for the specific purpose of raising wheat The list of huge benefit payments is much too large to include to this letter but the fact remains that it showed bow even tbe best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray, even when those men are brilliant brain trusters who themselves claim to know all there Is available for human understanding. Beyond that, the Vandenberg disclosures have set in motion discussion that will come pretty close to continuing into every* farmhouse in tbe land. Unless I miss my guess, and I am no Doctor TugweU, thousands of fanners are going to bitterly resent the fact that thMr payments were small, whereas gigantic corporations received sums ranging from ten to a thousand times as large. • • • In behalf of the AAA officials, it must be said that there will be as, indeed. there has been Unfair alnadj, considerable fnhwm, unfair criticism. The criticism to which I refer is of this type: that they should have discovered to advance of the payment* that funds were going to these corporations. Assuming that they could have discovered that fact in advance, there was no alternative for them except to pay the checks authorized by law. Congress made the law, or rather xc'A-S-s&fefe -'7: ■■

congress passed it under the lash of the administration, but it was on the statute books and administrative officials are not supposed to disregard such provisions. If there is to be criticism it should be directed at the initial framing of the statute that brought about the condition. The results that have attracted so much attention since Senator Vandenberg's exposure constitute one of the curious coincidences and queer quirks of planned economy. And a further word about the criticism. A great many people are likely to forget that while their check was to three figures and some corporation received one in six figures, the condition results wholly from the fact that one owned more land than the other. You may properly say this should have been foreseen and I believe you will be making a correct statement But surely this is a fact: the AAA officials cannot be blamed for sending out the checks when the law said they should do it regardless of the name or nature of the beneficiary. The fault lies solely and completely with those who, from their professional desks, conceived the whole scheme and gained President Roosevelt’s approval for It • • • Development of the vulnerable spots In the AAA crop curtailment prograth probably will prove Vulnerable beneficial to the Spofs country as a whole eventually. For one thing, these disclosures have forever choked off proposals of that kind. They may result as well in strengthening the new proposition for crop control through the medium of soil conservation. In other words, since the bulk of the congress thinks through legislation only In the terms of administration arguments, they will likely be less prone to enact legislation without knowing what results will be obtained. It seems to me that the new farm-aid plan likely will be stronger and probably more workable and certainly less extravagant than was the AAA because the AAA weaknesses have been exposed. These exposures ought to have an effect also among thinking farmers who hereafter are unlikely to accept dogmatic statements and rainbow pictures painted for them by political demagogues and professional farm leaders without examining the practicability of the scheme. Personally, I am convinced that a great many farmers were led to believe that AAA was their only salvation and they gained this conviction solely because the other side never was told to them. • • • While we are talking about mistakes and about tbe results obtained by brilliant theorists, I hear more and more distrain Trust cusslon of«the latest move by Chairman Henry P. Fletcher and his Republican national committee. Mr. Fletcher has hired ten university professors to head up wbat he calls the committee’s research staff and in announcing their appointment he stressed a declaration that “the division is not a brain trust.” But “brain trust” It is going to be called notwithstanding Mr. Fletcher’s ' assertion that they were practical men and women of experience. They are going to be a brain trust In exactly the same sense that Mr. Roosevelt’s “brain trust” has been denominated. And how else could It be? There actually seems to be little choice between the type of men Mr. Fletcher has chosen and the Tugwells, Hopkinses and other doctors and professors who have constantly had the ear of the President These men will have Mr. Fletcher’s ear and undoubtedly will pour Into it their own theories of government and their own ideas of approach to the problem that confronts the Republican national committee, namely, the defeat of Mr. Roosevelt I have observed political battles for a good many years and I have observed ths management of governmental responsibilities through a parallel period. Tbe conclusion Is inescapable, as far as I am concerned, that practical men always have done a better job, always have been better administrators and better planners, than the men and women who have spent their lives lecturing from a university classroom rostrum. I once criticized Professor Tugwell by saying that his qualification for the post of under-secretary of agriculture consisted of tending flowers In a window box and I am wondering now whether Mr. F.etchers new brain truzt is any better equipped for its job. However, we must not forget, the country new has on* brain trust trying to find out wbat Is wrong with another brain trust. • Wastara Unlea.
