side. the more ultra political the general atmosphere and the less Important legislation that sees daylight. That's how we get along, congressionally speaking; or rather, it is how we worry along in this day and generation.
 Putting the President in a hole" with farm relief for company came to be the dominating thought in congressional halls this week. Picture the scene, or the back-drop in this kaleidoscopic vaudeville: In the west millions of tottering and pseudo bankrupt farmers demand ing relief from the government; in Congress a division of pro and con: in the White House a Presi- dent who said he would not sign subsidy legislation but favored "co- operative farming" instead. A won drous opportunity for insurgent Republicans and keen-witted Demo- crats to pass subsidy legislation the President was sure to detest and force him either to back down from his previously announced at- titude and sign the bill. or stick to his guns and veto it. If the lat ter, then lachrymose lamentations in the COW country and the loss of prestige, power and votes.
 The showdown in the Senate came with the Haugen farm bill and how well the disciples of em- barrassment had their lines fixed can be gathered from the fact they nearly succeeded in their objective. Had 1t not been for the desertion of sundry Democrats the embarrass- ment would have been complete; as 1t stands, the President has won the victory. The plotters failed be- cause they couldn't agree among themselves by the time the voting began.
 But a species of embarrassment still turks in the offing. The west ern insurgents now have a strong talking point against the adminis- tration. Tho President, of course, Is deserving of credit for his courage in resolutely facing this possibility; but 1t would be idle to assume there will be no political conse- auences in the west. The first re- suit of the embarrassing situation is likely 10 be the loss of ma i jority in Congress as result of the | November elections, making it i'm possible for the administration to put things through" as desired. 1 We will have Republican presi- dent and an opposition Congress.

which convicts were able to mar ket products worth s45,ooo, and how he became a changed man, and one ready to dedicate his life to the uplift Of unfortunates be- hind prison bars - all this is al- ready known. Nothing he could do would bring back the lives of the three persons he ran down, but his term in prison aroused heretofore unawakened humane interests in the breast of the banker. There can be no doubt he will be an asset 10 the world in a different manner than had he never seen the inside of a cell.
 The question of pardoning rich man and doubt whether he would have been pardoned had he been poor will project itself in many minds. The charitable view is that Brooks mental metamorpho- sis is genuine and that his future activities will continue in the man. ner begun while in prison. His awakened ideals. backed by his wealth, should make of him a stall wart example of humane eudeavor in the interests of convicts. To bet ter their outlook, revive their hope and lend a helping hand after they are given freedom, is an essential of correctional Jurisprudence. Too many prisoners become embittered and turn into permanent criminals.

HANGING \ WOMAN

English justice moves with the inexorable regularity of the uni verse. Like stars in the Armament, it Is fixed and unyielding. Man or woman convicted of murder in the tight little isle must hang by the neck until dead. And if, In the case Of a woman, there is a baby or two chnging 10 apron strings and habbling of mama" it makes no difference to the home secretary, who in all cases does his duty like a man, according to the law made and provided.
 British citizens who suffer from a wave of revulsion at the specta- cle of hanging woman and a mother have the right to petition for clemency. although nobody ever heard Of such petitions com- ing to fruition. The swivcl-chair home secretary has a stereotyped answer ready; the party was found guilty. the law exacts a pound Of flesh for the deed - on the eye for an eye, tooth for tooth principle and there is nothing to be done but let the unfortunate creatures swing in the air. If there is a child or children bereft of mother Iy attention. somebody or the state will take care of them, and prob ably give them a better upbringng than the mother who failed 10 think of them when she committed the crime. Thus runs British jus tice: mo meddling allowed" is the watchword.
 The home secretary is n func- tionary who stands between such nasty business and the king, so that the latter need not be unnec- essarily bothered with petitions for intercossion. If the home secretary showed weakness" and allowed himself 10 be bent before the on- slaught Of clemency petitioners, the case would go before the king, No loyal home secretary would think of being a cause Of irritation to his king. The woman be hanged before such a step is taken.
 Thus a mother of three children, one of them baby was hanged in strsngeway jail, London. She went 10 her doom after a confes- sion: and perhaps 10 the last she thought of her baby and her two other children. A spectacle of hor- TOT - this hanging of a mother; a strange way" indeed.
 The fuuHty of capital punish ment is never more fittingly exem- pnfod than in the execution Of a woman. The death sentence is sup posed 10 be more of a deterrent to others than d punishment; if pun fehmcnt alone were the object q lifetime in prison would be an am- pie suflciency. But women rarely figure in court charged with mur- der: they do not need a capital punishment to deter them from the Inst to kill. They are no more ire quanlv charged with murder in countries and states which lack capital punishment than in such nations and states which continue 10 retain this feature Of justice tri- umphant.
 British justice again is vindi- ca'rd; there is no blot on the es- cu,cheon. The home secretary. pes tered for piece by cries of indig- nation from soft-hearted folk. can now return to his golf. and the king can do no wrong.

armaments. The question went over
until Monday
In the meantime, the objections b.
the American delegation concerning
the problem of potential war
strength" were met, and formula was
adopted declaring that mathematical
considerations were insufficient to
determine what amount of armaments
a nation should possess, and that. to
permit a profitable examination as a
basis for reduction of armaments.
experts should be asked to decide the
influence exercised on armamerts by
such matters as poulation and ma
tional resources of all kinds.
The significance of this decision is
that large number of countries want
to know the exact strength. positive
and potential, which any nation can
throw into a war, believing that arma-
ments should be fixed only after TAX
ing into consideration the potential
strength of. any possible enemy.
Hence. each country would be asked
to make a list not only of troops, bur
all other factors helpful in war. the
idea being that a great industrial ma
tion would be entitled to fewer troops
than nation weak industrially. For
instance, France would undoubtedly
claim that she was entitled to a big
ger army than Germany, because of
greater German industrial power.
