wise would have been postponed,
in order to give employment to
the hundreds Of workers who are
now idle.
Plans for rushing work on
Identification projects will be
submitted to the unemployment
conference called by President
Hoover, by Col. q. s. Grant Sd,
director of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
$2,5OO,OOO to Be Spent
Under these plans, $1,000,00O
will be spent to expedite work
on the Arlington Memorial
Bridge, supplementing the ST.
100000 already appropriated for
this year. Another $500, 900 would
be spent in development of Rock
Greek and Potomac Parkway.
Should Colonel Grants plan be
approved, funds for these projects
will be sought from Congress as
soon as that body convenes.
1t lis estimated that adoption
OF the program will mean en-
ployment of twice as many men
as are now employed on the two
projects.
Meanwhile, another plan for
relief of unemployment is being
studied by Major John C. Got
walls, Engineer Commissioner and
Capt. Herbert c. Whitehurst,
highway engineer.
Under the partially formu-
lated plans, many District en-
ployes who are generally laid off
in the winter because of the
suspension of street work would
be retained on the payroll.
Another Of the Plans
It is understood that one of
the plans being studied by Major
Gotwals calls for the employ
ment of more men than usual,
but for shorter hours per day.
While this plan would not give
full-time employment to all en-
ployes, it would furnish work
for more men.
Several bridge. sewer and via
duct construction projects. for
which financial provision has
already been made, will probably
go forward at once to aid in
providing employment.
1t is also hoped that plans for
several school buildings, for
which appropriations are already
made, can be completed by
Municipal Architect Albert L.
Harris in time to start work on
them shortly.

HOOVER AL00F
IN ELECTION
FIGHTS
President and Cabinet Remain
Out of Battles as Dry
Question Rules the Field
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

ny GEOhGE n. hOLMES
President Hoover not only is
keeping himself aloof from the
many savage political fights in
volved in this campaign, but his
official family as well.
Old-timers about the Capital
today could not recall an Off
year campaign Of the vigor and
virulence of this one which saw
so little Cabinet participation.
In other years, Cabinet officers
have spread far and wide through
out the country on speaking
tours, exhorting the electorate to
send a favorable Congress back
to washington. Members Of the
Cabinet were always considered
the oratorical "big shots" OF the
campaign. But not @ this year.
Practically Nil
The Cabinets participation in
the current campaign to date has
been practically nil. Whether the
abstention has been due to orders
from the White House, or whether
the members have quietly taken
their cue from Mr.. Hoover'S own
attitude is a matter Of lively
speculation.
One favorite explanation is that
the prevalence and bitterness OF
the prohibition issue in so many
of the Senatorial and Congress
sional contests has been the mo-
tivating factor in keeping the
Cabinet off the firing line. A
Cabinet officer usually is regarded
as speaking for the White House,
and apparently the White House
did not desire itself represented
in these many contests, even by
implication.
Davis Is Active
Secretary of Labor James J..
Davis is the only member Of the
Presidents official family who
has taken what might be called
an active part in the campaign
and he was forced to do so
because Of his own candidacy for
the Senate from Pennsylvania.
However, he has made compare
lively few speeches, and today
it was announced that Saye for
q few more appearances in Penn.
sylvania the Secretary's duties
would keep him close to Wash
ington until after November 4.
Secretary of State Stinsoh has
made one appearance. He "key-
noted" the Republican State Con
vention in New York last month,
but his address consisted entirely
of a commendatory appraisal Of
the National Administration. The
convention adopted a wet plank
and nominated a wet candidate
for governor, but Mr.. Stimson
had returned to Washington be-
fore that was done.
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde
has made a few speeches in vari-
GUS parts of the country, but
they have been largely confined
W d644CuALuEd1 IudCCSTS.
Postmaster General Brown has
Travelled a bit between Ohio and
Washington, doing some quiet d.
rection Of the campaign there,
but has refrained from speech
making.
And. that about sums up the
extent Of the Cabinets participa.
tion in this campaign.
Mellon Keeps Silent
Secretary Of the Treasury An
drew w. Mellon has not had a
word to say in the extremely bit
ter contest In his own Pennsyl-
vania. He has been just as aloof
from it as President Hoover him
self.
It's something Of an innovation
for Washington not to see the
Cabinet on the stump in q cam.
paign as hectic as the present
one.

application to some particular case Is,
to say the least. illogical. None of the
cases which Miss Sedley cites carry
with them very different implications
to the mind of the psychoanalyst from
the implications which they carry to
her mind. Nobody at all could wax
enthusiastic over the advice of the
psychologist to the mother, the morbid
introspection of the youth, or fail to
agree with the general proposition of
Prof. OverStreet that children feed on
love, and might add thrive on it. To
turn aside from the whole psyche
analytic theory because of these shallow
statements of alleged adherents would
be but another example Of throwing out
the baby with the bath. The authoress
herself, for example, acknowledges that
some kinds of mother love are bad for
some children. Nobody, certainly not a
psychoanalySt, would undertake to make
out Of such a statement universal rule
and say that all mother love is bad for
all children. 1t depends upon what one
means by love and how it is used, and
more particularly whether there gets
into the love between parent and child
certain components that do not belong
there because the mothers love in other
directions has been frustrated.
The statement that psychoanalysis
gives free rein to all the tendencies and
passions on the theory that their repres-
sion Is bad for the individual is nom
sense. Psychoanalysis never taught
this and never believed it. The only
people who do believe 1t are those who
want to, and they are among the critics
of psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis, as
a matter of fact, has, in recent years
particularly, laid a great deal of stress
upon what other people call moral con-
trols, shown how they have grown up,
what are their mechaniSms, etc. 1t has
explained how they work, and like all
truly scientific disciplines, it sets forth
the facts as it finds them for you or for
me to do with as we please. Nobody
discusses the morality of the cosmic
rays. Why should anybody discuss the
morality Of structure or a function
of the mind? Things, as said before,
are not moral or immoral, good or bad,
within themselves. 1t Is the way in
which we use them.
In further comment upon the matter
of suppression, or more properly re-
preston, it may be said that psyche
analysis does not teach that there Is
anything inherently bad in suppressed
desires as such. It is true that sup
pressed desires in certain neurotic in
dividuals do short circuit into forms Of
conduct that are bad: but, on the other
hand, the simple, primitive, crude, con-

crete satisfaction of our instructive tend
encies at all times in all places and
under any circumstances is utterly i'm
possible; and there are no people on the
face Of the earth so primitive as to in
dulge in any such behavior, and, to be
paradoxical, if there were such people
they probably would not survive. In
fact that we call civilization" is de-
pendent upon capturing the surplusage
of energy that otherwise would run of
in these instructive directions and, as
the psychoanalysts say, sublimating 1t,
which means turning 1t into channels
of higher usefulness both to the indi-
vidual and to society.
Much has been made of the fact that
among certain primitive peoples where
there Is very free expression of the
instructive life there Is an absence of
neurotic and mental disease, but al
ways like to add to this statement that
these people remain primitive. The
process of recapturing the energy from
these instructive channels of expression
for purposes of sublimation is the job
of civilization, and like all such high
adventures, it is fraught with danger
No such process can take place which
has as its objective such high purposes
without there being a certain percent
age of casualties on the way, casualties
that are represented by the failure to
effect results aimed at These are the
casualties of the nervouSly and mentally
Ill, and they represent in a very real
sense the price that we have to pay for
civilization. 1t is the purpose of the
mental hygiene movement for example,
and of the practice of psychiatry in its
preventive aspects to endeavor to find
out whether or not this price may not
be reduced.
A Time for Everything.
suspect, too, that most of the evils
that are complained of by the authoresS
of this article are evils which are GER
tainly no worse than those that pre-
coded the advent of pSychoanalysis
canot conceive that an inquiring mind
that learns something about subject
Is worse of than a mind that Is filled
with fear of that subject and knows
nothing about it. knowledge seems to
me to be power, to certain extent at
any rate, and ignorance seems to me
therefore to be weakness or helplessness.
OF course, we cannot trust everybody
with knowledge, and 1t is quite obvious
that we should not begin in our primary
schools to teach the profound biological
truths of psychology any more than we
should undertake to teach calculus to
children of and 6 years of age. There
is time for everything and that time
is dictated by the development stage at
