WORDS AND ACTION

Ssnator Fcss, new Republican national chairman. gives evidence Of saying one thing and doing another.
 The other day t will be remcm- !. rcd. h. announced without the quiyver Of an eyeIash that the tariff would be the dominating issue in tb, November elections. and tha. pro- hlbition would be no issue worth mentioning.

one day. all aimed at the tribesmen. Furthermore, the tribesmen have been notified. if they don't quit theit foolishness the airplanes will drop bombs upon their villages The tribesmen, thinking of their women and children, have eased their am- bitions to drive the British into the sea.
 Thus airplanes in the hands Of white men are a striking weapon to maintain their supremacy in corners of the earth where the natives don't care 10 nave them. Without the planes such onslaughts as were en- gineered by the embattled natives would have left the British to meet them without any special advantage except perhaps better guns and some cannon and machine guns. With the airplanes the British took the breath of carnage right 10 the feet of the tribesmen along the slopes of the mountains, controlling a nasty situ- ation after a few days of action.
 But whether anything in particu- lar is settled following a weeks military activities remains in doubt. For one thing, the Indians them- selves have enough of an assortment of hate to keep them busy for quite some time. In the Sind District Of Bombay, for instance, which recently was the scene Of much fighting be- tween Hindus and MosIems. the flames Of conflict have broken out anew and troops have been con- pclleG to take over half a dozen vil- lages. The Hindus and the Moslems acuse one another of insults to their faiths. and consequently are inclined 10 settle their scores with as much fighting as possible.
 It's a hot time in India" in more ways than one,

THE, AMAZING NORRIS

Senator George W. Norris is the most impor' ant independent leader in Washington; hence his success full battle for renomination in the Republican primaries in Nebraska attracted nationwide interest.
 Incidentally Senator Norris still poses as 8 Republican" though he was once read out Of the party" and has opposed the major plans of the administration more successfully than any Democrat. He even oppos- ed Mir. Hoover's presidential candi- dacy in 1928. coming out openly about it and telling why.
 This man, who has aroused the bitterest enmity of standpat Repub- licans. the Administration, public utility corporations and extreme drys-thcugh the Senator personally IS himself a dry-has again shown

BOGi S WAR HEROES

Again has come 10 light the ease Of a man who was fated and dlncd if not wtned by many organizations and city officials for having worn the Croix de Guerre, the Victoria Cross the Distinguished Service Cross and the Congressional Medal o1 Honor.
 That IS quite a combination, and if is quite remarkable that none of the admiring officials who shook his hand in admiration and were pleased 10 make his acquaintance paused to reflect that when q youth has so many medals it is high time that somebody acted suspicious.
 Especially when it could be calcu- lated without the aid Of lead pen cil that the age Of Benjamin Lee O. Detroit with less than a dozen years subtracted put him l ? years Of age when We entered the late unpleas- antness,
 Finally somebody did pause to consider that fact. however. and then the bubble burst,
 Perhaps the man al heart $ no, so wicked however As he explains it, his wife, when she was merely his sweetheart, was not highly impress cd with his theatcr ushcr's uniform so he bought the medals from war veterans who were willing 10 sell their decorations in order 10 pose ss a hero in the eyes Of the girl and iu- duca her to marry him. she fell hard
 The other point about the story Is that a large number Of war veterans seem 10 think less of their decora- tions than the governments who so gladly donated them But then, there is no accounting for tastes. From the start some of the boys cared very little about the badges" and 10 this day some wear what they own and others don't.

THE PRESIDENT AND
 GOVERNORS

It is rare indeed for governors to be called into q presidential confer ence as is being done m Washing ion today. The dozen governors who have accepted the invitation of the President will confer regarding ways and means of relief" to com bat the effects of the drought Tnc last time a governors conference al the behest Of the President took place in Washington it was in 1923. when President Coolidge summon ed them to discuss cooperation be- tween federal and state authorities in the enforcement Of law and pro- hibition.
 It will be interesting 10 note wha; the governors think the federal Gov crnment can do about the drought Talk without appropriate action will amount to little; and appropriate uClloIi utoll cu bS Ntolttli II 6OhtI llOl . and farm interests generally runs counter to the Hooverian doctrines of self-aid in the states.
 After the Mississippi flood, it will be remembered, there was quite controversy over the methods of federal relief Local co-operatior was the cornerstone Of the relief finally provided. which meant tha; some states, like Louisiana, had plenty to pay itself rather than rely upon the national Government for the funds MT. Hoover was secre- tary of commerce at the time and he was active in the flooded area. In his preliminary report on the prob lem of relief, he insisted that both the immediate problem of making the stricken population self-support- ing again and the long term recon- struction needed could best be handled by the states involved. each state being supposed 10 under stand it's problem better than the federal government. He believed the

L.iGuARDiA AND FOOD PRICES

Repr1 sentative LaGuardla Of New York is not going 10 sit idly by while the effects Of the drought are trans lated into higher food prices for the cave dvallers of the metropolis. He isn't that kind Of man. He has noted that the milk companies have raised tho price a cent quart that fruit firms are restless, and that vendors of other ,dibles show signs O. rsferring 10 the drought when surprised customers note price ad- yancos, Kindly soul that he ls,,he immediately goes 10 the White House with his complaint But Mir. Hoover. Icing busy with one thing or snoth- er refers him 10 Secretary of Agn- culture Hyde.
 Now Mr. Hyde is chiefly interest ,I in stimulating prosperity for the .ood producers. He hasn't had mucI, success of late; but all the same, that is his business. So one reads that even before MT, LaGuardia called Mr. Hyde gave out q reassur- ing statement that the only crop shortage was in corn, hay and pas lures for cattle, and that out of 8 normal production Of 2,So0,Ooo, 900 bushels Of corn, only 175.ooo.o00 are used for human consumption. That would indicate that Mir. Hyde at least dos not share the alarm with Mir. LaGYardia
 While afl this is proceeding one comes across an advertisement in yesterdays paper rogistering ne" low prics for food at local res taurant And the estimable New York World the other day, while 1t head 'n"l ln4lgnant protests on Ids@ One regarding New York food dealers conspiracy or something of that sort, had story on an inside page that food prices decreased 2,1 per cent during the last year or so. That isn't q very large decrease. but perhaps the New York food dis tributcrs pceyed at the percentage table, merely want to get back their 2.1 per cent Mr. LaGuardia isn't go- ing 10 let them if moving heaven and the North Pole can prevent 1t.

He registered a victory against the Republican national ma- chine as far back as 1909, when he got kerosene put on the free list Next year he led the rebellion which changed the House rules and ended the czarist career Of Speaker Joe Cannon. He fought like a bob cat for the direct election of senators, saying he was willing to stand ur for election in his state at any time.
