Tariff Racket's Toll

While the President and congress are houndering
around trying to decide how much money to appro-
pirate for unemployment relief and where to get that
money they should realize that they are partly to
blame for the emergency. Times would not be Sc
hard if they had not insisted saddling the country
with the Grundy- Smoot billion dollar tariff.
They must be reminded of this when they read the
latest figures of the department of commerce the
decline of our foreign trade. During the first ten
months of $780, foreign trade decreased 600
the loss being about evenly divided between exports
and imports
If the President and congress haven't enough
imagination to know what the loss of more than a
billion dollars of export trade means to the United
States, they look around at the unemployment
bread lines and closed factories.
1t is reported, for instance that the National Cash
Register Company lost 100000 from tariff retalia-
ton in sixty days, and is planning to build fac
tories abroad.
Because that million-doll fund has been taken
out of the pockets of American capital and labor
partly by the tariff sarted-the federal gov
eminent desperately must deplete the federal
treasury and burden the taxpayer to raise direct and
indirect relief funds
AS long as American business men, workers and
farmers go submitting to this higher tariff racket
there will be permanent relief for the depression
cycle.

Congress and the President

Some Of the news stories coming out of Wash
ington bit puzzing. They speak of the re-
bellion of congress against the President, and of
Hoovers threat to go to the people if congress doesn't
cooperate.
If there is anything in constitutional system
of checks and balances, and the division of power
among executive legislative and judicial branches of
government, it would be just as proper to spek of
presidential rebellion against congress as con-
gressonal rebellion against the President Neither
is the whole thing.
The impression is that it takes at least two to
cooperate. Yet one might conclude from Wash
ington stories that President Hoovers notion of CO.
operation is for congress do whatever the President
wants it to do
There is nothing in the Constitution that makes
the executive superior to the legislative branch of
government. The only possible argument in favor
OF presidential dominance the legislative branch
is that the President is leader of his party and that
hence members OF congress belonging to his party
should follow his leadership. But that implies no
obligation on the part of Democrats to take orders
from a Republican President
It's a good thing for the country that enough Re-
publican and Democratic senators refused to CO.
operate so far to approve some of the appoint
mentS President Hoover undertook to make to the
federal bench.
Until he shows greater qualities of democratic and
liberal leadership than he has shown so far it will
be good thing for the country if congress stops.
looks and listens before bndly cooperating by obey
ing presidential orders or following presidential
leadership.
It's good bet that if President Hoover appeals
to the country against the senate at this stage of
the game, his only response will the Bronx cheer
But maybe it would be good thing for him to
find that out.

Nursing a Good Cause

In the laudable effort to make honest men out OF
ex-crooks. of the greatest difficulties met by the
reformer is the solid wall of opposition to giving the
released convict job. Often the former prisoner
has no trade which be sold in the labor mart
Moreover, he either must face the handicap Of in
aoity to give references or admit the stigma of
crminslty.
The increased unemployment of the honest crafts
today renders it doubly difficult for the unframed
ex-crook to obtain steady job Therefore the latter
usually faces the alternative of starving and freezing
or getting the old gun into action He does not hest
tate long as to which to choose
In due time, sensible penology will recognize the
responsibility of the state to obtain employment for
its released convicts and prison will discharge
man until it first has obtained work for him. In the
meantime public and private agencies must redouble
their efforts.
OF the private attempts to provide work for ex-
convicts, the most ambitious has been the Marshall
Stillman movement organized by Alpheus Geer in
New York City some seven years ago. He enlisted
the aid Of famous business men, philanthropists and
cerics and put some of the most notorious ex-thugs
in all crookdom to work at plodding and prosaic
occupations.
Back in 1928, Greer took over the Amazon Leather
Compsnys plant and began the making of high
Grade leather goods. AL signs seemed to point to
successful future but disciplinary problems arose
Two Snop loremen were killed in succession. The
result was, as HeraldTribune writer laconically re-
marks, decrease of zest for executive work and adj
minisrative responsibilities in the plant
Geer was accused Of fair for the spectacular
out it may have been only touching faith IN human
nature which made him prefer to put killer at the
bench rather than frst-time forger He possibly
wanted to show that not even the worst thug was
hopeless.
In any event, his alleged misjudgments we're made
possible only through the prior and judgments
Of society. If we had rational habitual criminal
act or sound penology in operation, few or no no
torious professional criminals would find their
way out of prison. The worst type which a like
Mr.. Greer could get hold of to reform would be
potentially reformable
But no one deny that Mr. Greer like Mr.
1Osborne was a brave and devoted pioneer in the
movement to uproot our current savage ways Of
