REASON By Ff EERBRs

A UTHORITIES at Washington persist in the folly
n of permitting the publication of the secrets of
national defense, their most recent contribution
to this inexpcable habit being their authorization
of the publication of the results of recent test OF
bombing plane whose features are expected
to revolutionize sky attacks.
Unlike other bombing planes, this one is an
acrobat it can loop the loop, skin the cat, dance
the Charleston and indulge in other frivolous pas
times heretofore denied the corpulent carrier of
bombs but more important still, it can Swoop with
incredible speed from great altitude then Straighten
out and stop with amazing alacrity above the ship
it wishes to destroy.
IF all the claims made for it be true it is wonder
yet it is no asset to national defense, since the
publication of the story of it will start every foreign
nation the trail Of the secret which makes such
sky terror possible.
We are in favor OF news but some things should
be kept still and President Hoover should proceed to
gag the officers in charge of all such experiments and
nobody earth should be permitted to tell it to the
world.
Foreign nations keep all such things dark and If
one of their officials should permit such secrets to be-
public property he would be court martialed, but
While all other countries have some sense in such
things We advertise the new features of national
defense with all the enthusiasm Of an Easter mlliner

The A. F. of L. Warning

II the surprise element makes the value OF news
the biggest news of the day is the warning OF Wllam
Green against the possibility of revolution Green
is president of the American Federation OF Labor
But he is more than that. He is one of the worlds
most conservative labor leaders, one OF the bterest
opponents of all so-caled red movements
When such conservative talks of the possibility
of revolution as result of unemployment and hunger
it is time for the country take notice In urging
passage Of the Wagner series of unemployment bills
Green said to the senate committee:
'sMen should earn money, not have it doled out
to them without labor in return. But unless en-
blowers change their tactics toward the unions, we
shall face either federal unemployment insurance to
take care of the jobless have revolution on our
hands"
What has driven such as Green to talk in
this language. He gave his answer in the form of
union statistics, showing:
one in every four men unemployed this winter.
Almost half the men in the building trades UNI
employed.
An estimated national total OF 100000 men out
Of work
Loss of purchasing power through unemployment

In the last twenty-seven months, including the
period of so-caled prosperity, the number of unem
ployed among union workers never fell below

nN April 3, 1860, the first pony
~ express riders left Sacramento,
Cal, for ST. Louis, to establish fast
mail service between the. Pacific
coast and the middle. west.
The service was inauguated In an
effort to reduce the twenty-five days
time it took the transcontinental
lines to carry mails from the east to
the far west by way of the Panama
canal.
The animals used on the express
we're not ponies, but fleet horses
They we're stationed at stages
from ten to fifteen miles apart and
each rider rode three animals sue
cessively, covering about seventy
five miles before he passed the pouch
to his successor. Eventually there
we're eighty riders and between 400
and 500 horses.
The fastest trip was made for the
delivery of President Lincoln's in
augural address, the distance OF
400 miles being covered in seven
days and seventeen hours.
Just sixteen months after it was
started the pony express was sup
planted by a telegraph line. But
despite it's brief existence, the serv-
ice has won a name for itself in
American history, because it main
tanned its schedule In all kinds OF

Movie in Great Role

THE movie is going to play an
Il important part in making not
only the morals, but the politics,
Of the future.
Those in control of it have a
stupendous power at their COM
mand. Also, they face a stupendous
responsibility.
Instead of sneering, we should
commend them for trying to
formulate a code.
Neither can the problem be dis
missed by trite epigrams on purity,
art, and elf-government.
If we are dealing with art in the
movies, we also are dealing with a
commercial enterprise, and if we
are dealing with individual genius,
we are dealing with group control,
A seventeenth century sage once
said, GIVE me to write the songs

writes it's laws"

ably would say, Give me control of

writes much of anything"
