The White Houses Mosquito Problem


When it found that the District of Columbia
appropriation bill contained an item of $65oOO for
determination of mosquitoes in the vicinity of the
White House. certain senators objected, and, in our
opinion, with much reason. For to proceed against
these mosquitoes with chemicals sprays, ETC., as the
proponents of the bill intend is to say the least of it,
very old-fashioned.
What is needed is modern efficiency. That is to
say, we must first of all have commission to in
vestigate these mosquitoes and ascertain the facts.
The commission of course, must be empowered to
study the whole question of mosquitoes without bias
prejudice and recommend steps that will be CAL
culated to get rid of them
In its preliminary report, however it probably will
say that it has found it advisable to limit its purvew
1t will point out that the mosquitoes are part of the
fauna of the lnd that the supreme court has slapped
them, batted them and scratched their bites on
numerous occasions and that the question is not
how to get rid of them, but how to deal with them
now that they are here.
1t then will issue an informal statement to the
effect that what is needed is state cooperation
1t will cite that certain states have no laws against
mosquitoes 1t will hint that the mosquitoes in the
vicinity of the White House no doubt come from
Maryland which its eastern shore has mosquitoes
as big as buzzards and yet refuses to do anything
about them.
1t even will venture the opinion that the Consti-
tuition makes it mandatory the state to adopt some
sort of legislation, and that it is enforced Then
in another formal statement it will reveal that the
mosquitoes being dealt with better than any other
pest
Finally. 1t will say that all such things take time
and that we not expect to bring mosquitoes I'M
der control in few years. since patient education is
needed to make the country mosquito-mnded.
BY now, it is manifest, the occupant of the White
House should be sleeping great deal better In
event he still is bothered, however, he might try
citroneIa.

Finish the Parker Job

After two years deliberaton the senate judiciary
committee will meet today to report DILL to curb
the use of injunctions in labor disputes majority
of the committee having expressed themselves on the
issues involved when they voted to reject the supreme
court nomination of Judge John j. Parker recon-
mendation to forbid the issuance of improper and
unconstitutional injunctions appears certain
If ever there was any doubt in the public mind
concerning the rights and wrongs of the injunction
controversy that doubt was dispeed by the senates

credited yellow-dog contract preventing workers from
joining unions
Millions know as a result of disclosures in that
debate that court-made lew in injunction DEGREES

legal right to organize.
The nation is aware that injunction law mas
grown to its present state not by the dictates OF
sound public policy, sound economy or SOUND legal
doctrine but by the whims Of judges
The new bill recently reported by the judiciary
subcommittee is a measure which gives honest con-
sideration to the rights OF all parties 1t does not
abandon the injunction an instrument to prevent
riotous conduct or irreparable property damage Le-
uit,ate uses of the courts equity powers are pre-
served.
But it does seek to prevent indscriminate use OF
the courts power automatically to throw all the 1orce
and influence of the law and government against the
striker 1t would require definite showing OF TACT
in every injunction case. The old system OF tempo
rarv restraining orders without hearings practically
would be abandoned.
The rights of peaceful persuasion and orderly as
semby would be clarified by restatement Encroach-
ments upon civil liberties would be restrained Dy
explicit definitions of rights. The infamous yellow
dog contract would be left to stand on It's own lee
no longer propped in the posture OF justice.

The Government Sues

After almost a decade of indecsion, the govern
nent finally has come around to prosecuting the So
called radio trusts charges Of violating the anti
trust law
For years nnofhicial charges Of this nature have
been made by the independent" radio companies
by senator's and others Independent companies nave
won various suits in the courts, last year obtaining
temporary injunction. Since then senate group has
pressed for action by the department of justice
The charges listed by the government, involving
as they do group of the most powerful corporations
in the country and the possible control of the air. are
such as to make this probably the most important
trust case tried
Never before has the government in one case gone
uu against corporations with assets estimated at more
than $4,000 100000 Those involved are Radio Cor
poraton of America and various subsidiaries, Cen
era Motors General Electric American Telephone and
telegraph Westinghouse Electric and Western Elec-
trio.
According to the department of justice: THE pat
ent arrangements originally made among several of
the defendants have been increased steadily in num-
Der and enlarged in scope until the defendants now
practically have control of the radio business and its
development. The control has been brought about
by novel method of cross licensing patents.
owen D. Young, as chairman of its executive COM
mittee says: 1.-THE Radio Corporation of America
welcomes the suit of the government of the United
States to test the validity of its organization which
has existed for than ten years. and in every step
of which the government has been advised"
With the chief defendant thus welcoming the suit,
that makes it about unanimous For the good OF the
companies themselves, which long have been FESTIVE
under the threat of impending prosecution; for the
respect of the government, which could not much
longer refuse investigate such serious charges and
in justice the public whose purse is touched and
whose mind is more and more nodded by radio, this
gigantic test case has come none too soon.
1t is one of the outstanding acts of the Hoover adj
ministration to date.

Fortunately, through the years

only small part of all of those who

Ammunition for Reds

CONSIDERING all the time
" congress has consumed in
safeguarding manufacturers could
it not spare a moment to appro-
pirate $324,000 for laborers who
have gone unpaid for half a CEN
fury, and the majority of whom
have died meanwhile?
Such obvious discrimination, such
negligence of common folks on the
one hand and such zeal in behalf
of uncommon folks on the other,
does more for red propaganda than
all the imported pamphlets and soap
box orators put together.
To put it bluntly, we seem to have
become drunk with that kind Of
prosperity which is represented by
billion dollar concerns, stock spec
ulation and artificial values.
No matter what we start out 70
do, we invariably wind up with
measures to boost the price Of
something or other.
In nine cases out OF ten, the
price boosting is for the benefit Of
a few great centralized industries,
with consumers paying the bill.

TINE struggle between the Elam-
Il ties and the Sumerians was
only a local battle, however, accord
ing to DR.. Speiser.
Much more serious and wrought
with greatest consequences" he
says, twas the struggle between the
highlanders and the two important
races, the Semites from the south,
and later on, the Indo-Europeans
from the north.
"That contest still is going on, al
though it has been in progress for
several millenia. Many changes
have taken place in the meantime.
I'm Syria, which has been the
battle-ground between the Semites
and the older stock, interesting
fusions have resulted. Physically,
the older stock notably has affected
both the Assyrians and the Hebrews,
which accounts for the non-Semitic
strain in the latter.
when Ezekiel referred to Jerusa-
lem as a child of an Amorite father
and Hittite mother, he stated an
important ethnic fact and not just
a literary generalization.
"On the other hand, the language
of the district became Semitic.
Similar conditions prevailed on
the northern frontier. There again
the older population affected physi-
cally the several waves Of the invad-
ing ndo-Europeans, but the latter
were able to impose their own Ian
guage upon the subjugated districts.
"Thus the Hittites of antiquity
used a highly Indo-Europeanized
language, and the Kurds, Armen-
fans and Lurs Of today also use
dialects of the Eastern division OF
the same group.
1.-THE non-Senitic, non-Sumerian
and non-Indo- European highland
ers, who spoke languages OF the
Caucasian family, are thus seen to
have formed the basic population
of the near East.

cation of the whole area, the Oldest
cultures of Asia yet discovered"

OF course, this is said from the

Yet this is no good reason why
the teams should not meet in fierce

Grave errors of justice and of tact
