Norris Fights in Open

XETHEN Senator Norris bolted
w Hoover in favor of Smith two
years ago he did so openly. Giving
his constituents an opportunity to
see where he stood and judge him
accordingly.
When Lucas bolted Norris in favor
of Hitchcock he did so in the dark,
not even giving his right hand a
chance to guess what his left was
doing.
Those who disagree with Senator
Norris are obliged to admit his
frankness and sincerity, while those
who agree with Lucas and who
would like to see him succeed are
obliged to hold their noses.
Some political leaders have al
lowed themselves to be blinded by
factional prejudice, but the public
has not.
In weighing this issue, the public
falls back on those simple rules by
which it has learned to distinguish
a square fighter from one who sneaks
up behind. -
Rightly or wrongly, the public sets
more store by those simple rules than
by party loyalty, and is far reader
to trust straight men with whom it
may differ than plausible catspaws
of a political machine.

It is no news that birth control is for all prac-

to be going little too far to ban the exposition of

the doctrines of very pious old gentleman who
openly opposed what is meant today by birth control
and exhorted his readers to practice chastity until
they were able to support family in decency.

The Senate's Own View

If the senate foreign relations committee ever
awakens to the dangerous implications of its post
ponement of action on the world court for another
year. it will reverse its decision promptly. The
mittee has postponed debate this treaty because
it is said it Is not in the interest of public welfare
to have the senate in session whenever that can be
avoided Thus it is hoped to avoid special session
of the senate in March.
But has the committee considered the logic of this
line of reasoning?
First if the senate is going to insist that it has
under the Constitution, full and equal share in
the conduct of foreign relations with the Presi-
dent then to postpone consideration of vital treaty
for a whole year. at a time when the world is all
too uneasy and likely to break into flames of inter-
national war; demonstrates that our Constitution has
not provided way of dealing with foreign relations
which can be endured under modern conditions
where passions are speedy and perilous.
Second, this is democracy and everything which
tends to make people distrust their representatives
is dangerous and unwse. Theoretically, congress
ought to be in session all the time and if it be true
that there is public feeling of relief when congress
adjourns then the is to have congress change
its conduct and not to have it adjourn when urgent
public business needs to be transacted.
For the senate to take this action and thereby
admit that it. too, believes that it is bad for the
American people to have their representatives in
sion is practically an admission that democratic
form of government as the senate conducts its share
Of it, is failure
If this is not the impression the senate foreign
relations committee wishes to leave with the public
doubtless it will reconsider and move for prompt
action the world court protocols.

THE agricultural situation in the

In considering this discussion OBJ

struck by the fact that almost all
of it has been from the point Of
view of the immediate situation and
that but little has been said of the
long time aspects Of the problem.
Or. Holmes adds, Probably no
previous period has presented so
great a need for the best effort OF
educators, legislators, and the lead
ers of the farmers movement toward
making general an intelligent view
of the real nature of the situation:
toward making as easy as possible
the adjustment to the new align
ment of forces, and toward develop

There never was so great need

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor Times-I enjoy reading the
views of The Times Readers on the
unemployment question.
Ialso ask, why doesn't the question
of the married woman working be
given more consideration? Why
can't something be done regarding
this situation, to eliminate the stress
of hard times? personally know
of several cases where women are
working and these positions, if not
all given to men, could be given to
single girls or widows, perhaps, with
little ones to care for.
One case I have in mind, the
husband owns place of business,
another owns lovely home, another
one spends her salary in poker
games. Now does it seem fair to
have cases of this kind come before
ones observation and our honest
men 60 jobless and their families go
HI .4gry? Many are forced to accept
charity to exist through these hard
times.
Why can't our firms look over
their lists and give their positions
to the poor and needy and let every
one have little. Put the men back
to work and let the married women
stay home and give their love and
attention to their families. BY doing
this, more homes will be happier.

Seven Forces
THIs threefold reYoluti

THIS threefold revolution in
- agriculture, industry and COM
merce is the key to the study of the
recent history of the United States,
Professor Schmidt says. He adds:
while the antecedents of the
economic revolution already we're in
evidence before 1860, it was the war
between the states that fastened
the tendencies and produced the
changes that were destined to
transform the economic and social
structure of the nation and give
rise to complex problems of reor-
ganization and readjustment which
today challenge the social sciences.
with these observations in mind
we may proceed to a consideration
of the forces underlying the agri-
cultural revolution in the United
States
Professor Schmidt lists seven
forces as playing important roles
in this revolution. They are:
First-The passing of the public
lands into private ownership.
Second-The rapid growth Of pop
ulation and immigration.
Third-The invention and popu-
larization of improved farm imple-
ments and machinery.
Fourth-The extension and de-
velopment of transportation facili-
ties.
Fifth-The migration of indus
tries from the farm to the factory.
SiXth-The expansion of domes-
tic and foreign markets.
Seventh-The establishment of
agencies Of the promotion of scien-
tific knowledge relating to agricul-
ture.
"These forces" Professor Schmidt
says, transformed farming from a
pioneer and largely self suficing
occupation into a modern business
organized on a scientific capitalistic
and commercial basis"
