Why the G. o. T.. Is Worried

T HE President has held White House
conferences with party leaders in Con-
GresS on two successive days this week in
an effort TO reach agreement by which the
Legislative program deemed essential to
strengthen the chances of party success in
the coming fall elections will be speeded up.
The one question that gives them most con-
Germ is that OF bonus legislation On this
Issue they are all at sea as to how to
frame bill that will secure both votes and
the required revenue to meet its terms.
The public interest does not figure in the
equation II the notwithstanding factor
could be eliminated, there would be no cues

ICY The country is already over-burdened
with taxation. II the proposed bonus leg
islation is enacted several billions of dol
lars additional must be taken from the
pockets of the taxpayers OF the country
VIII the taxpayers stand for 1t? Will not
the piling on of additional taxation to raise
these billions ALLEVIATE more votes than
will be gained?
Republican leaders didn't think so a few
months ago, but the rumbling of discon-
tent throughout the country at the oppres
siveness of the tax burden, for which speedy
relief was promised in the campaign which
elevated the Republican party 10 power. has
produced alarm in the ranks of the party
chiefs. They find the usual avenues OF de-
ception closed. They hoped to catch the
soldier vote by batting the party hook with
the foreign debt as lure. That scheme
o. deception was so quickly exploded as an
impossibility that it has been virtually
abandoned. The President whose natural
disposition is to consent 10 anything upon
which party leaders might agree refused
10 become party TO such act of bad
faith and. while receding from his original
position OF opposition to the bonus al this
time. has put II squarely up TO the con-
sressional leaders that he will approve no

Above Politics

IF the people OF Virginia would avert
l serious deterioration OF the States So
cial and political fabric, they must come
speedily to realization OF the fact that
the outstanding issue of the moment is law
enforcement; and. further, that the out
standing phase of this issue is enforcement
OF the prohibition laws. The time has como
when these laws must be ASSOCIATED from
partisan politics and fac,oualism. They
are no longer TO be regarded rs the pet
project OF any person or group of persons.
They on the statute books OF the State
ard in the Constitution o; the nation; no
coed Virginian 10 good American, can az
ford to ignore the obligation they impose
upon him.
I'VE are going 10, have effective enforce
ment OF the prohibition laws when the right
attitude is adopted By al thoughtful, rep
resentatiye citizens; not until then. And
We may as we'll realize al once that nef-
fectiveness OF enforcement carries social
and political poison OF the deadiest sort.
The situation in Virginia as in many other
States, is one 10 challenge the earnest at
tentfon of everyone protesting the essen
tails Of good citizenship. This situation. far
from improving, must continue 10. grow
more aggravated so long as the idea per-
sists that prohibition enforcement is mere
~ game or political avocaton.
No one should need TO be told that con
tempt for the prohibition laws is sowing
the seeds OF contempt for every law on the
statute books. And ii are 10 admit
openly or by inference, that any regularly
enacted law is properly subject TO contempt
we must admit also that the foundation of
our social and experimental structure is
OF sand, and not.-of.rock as had been sup
posed
There are some encouraging signs in our
own State. There is evidence of Il more
general disposition 10 regard prohibition

Not Rushing to Destruction
