CITING INTO PRINT

Running q college publication has t's terrors-tust like running q news paper in the college Of hard knocks. Young Paul Brooks Of Har> ard, president of the Harvard Lampoon, has found that out
 Everyone knows or should know -he story by thts tlme-how the LamPoon lampooned Mayor Curley O. Boston. all in jest
 The boys on the Lampoon staff have decided ideas about humor They like their humor to sparkle and not requ,re an explanatory chart Sometimes 1he artists draw ing the cartoons leave little to the imagination When the humorists reach for q cigarette and write thcil pieces about gentlemen in the pub he eye-jnc.uding mayors-they dish ID their humor straight and not diluted.
 Naturally, when Mayor Curley was the subject of Lampoon Jest he realized m 6 tainhnng that the boys ] had gone too far, He conferred with h,s lawyer. 4 libel suit was threat cned.
 4 little thlng like threat or a libel suit does not worry many edi- tors, but the Lsmpoon IS run by comparative, youngsters and they don't like serious things like libel suits So Mr, Brooks made a written apology to tho mayor, which the latter gracjously accepted in view Of the fact that he vas young and court proceedings would tend to in- Jure his future.
 Which WAS nice at by the mayor. he. too once Vas young and had longer future than he has now.
 Obviously the Boston mayor had g distinct grtersnse about the hin5 of humor 10 which he vas subject. cd. What the boys on the Lampoor learned-and i. ought 10 be par Of their college cducation-is tha humor which questions, even indr rectly, the honesty and persona reputation of anybody turns into libc when the party "humorized' hap pens to be honest and Of good repu tation,
 Mir Brooks says se boys didn' 'mean' to impugn the. e.honesty ant reputation or the lord mayor; whicl didn't mean thing to the mayo until the apology vas forthcoming

slon would be unconstitutional. It may be unadvisable from some standpoints, and contrary to the wishes of the President as given during his Boston tariff speech dur ing the last presidential campaign, which we quoted the other day; but if the Tariff Commission were to be given ultimate power there is much in favor Of the premise that such action woIld be constitutional
 The constitutionality of the pres ont flexible provisions in the tariff was decided by the Supreme Court m 1928, in the Hampton case. In this case sn importing firm challenged the constitutionalty of the Presi- dents 50 per cent increase on the duty upon barium dioxde. the claim heing made that Congress had no right to delegate it's legislative pow CTS 10 the executive. The opinion of the court that Congress had such power was unanimous So that much was set ted Congress, the court held, had merely laid down general rules un- der which its authority could be ex- arcjsed.
 Rut the Consutuuonshty of such action goes back even further. In the caso of Field N Clark, A years ago inc Supreme Court had held cons.i- 'uional the power delegated to the President 10 make certain tariff changes, without such advisory in formation as that furnished by a tariff commission. AS for delegation Of rate changes 10 a commission without Presidential action-as pro- vidod under certain circumstances in the recent proposal-the Court pointed 10 Congress delegation Of ] power to the Interstate Commerce Commission 10 fix railroad rates without action hy either Congress or | President

PARITY BUILDING

Eme~glng from another artach by rhe Tory party the MacDonald go,- ernment Of England continues to sal serenely. and on the same day this vote Of confidence in Parliament was registered came inc significant news that the British Admiralty. in submitting a na,al a4ud5ng program 10 the cabtnet does not intend 10 build ID 10 tho parity standards per- mtrted under the London nasal treaty
 At inc same moment S-na.or Borah drops the r-s~ng= 4ttho for- eisn relations eomw"aa on the pact and various nttre-sas ya. 10 hc heard are told 10 submit frsir arguments in fra form Of hriels voIle the chsrman studies secret cahles" from London.
 From nhjch f appears that there has been 2 lo- or unnecessary talk ing r the Ms-Dorsl7 government IS rot going 10 construct ships Up 10 the limit Of tha ,rcary-and in view of Premier MacDonaId.s well known attitude toward such things this policy is not surpr,sirg-there is no need for special nervousness in this country.
 The British zo,ernm-nt in al probs bil,ty is gong 0 attempt an economical naval status. Postwar Britain hasn't the money 10 indulge in the luxurIes of bygone day. It's day ot consistent naval supremacy IS past. Not only is there likely 10 be practical parity with he Cnitsd States from now or. but it IS likely that Britain will not be able or will ing to maintain an effective party.
 Significant loo, in the case of Britain IS the unworried attitude to- ward the competitive threat between France and Italy Downing street }s wise 10 the ways Of the continental nations and apparently Is discount ing much Of the sabre -rattling that Mir. Mussolini indulgcs in. now and then. The Duce's speeches may sound and read well 10 his fellow patriots and they may arouse intense interest in France, but they are not disturb ing the Macdonald ministry. Wheth- CT this Is mistaken attitude time alone can tell, 8 strained relation, between the Mediterranean powers certainly would tend to involve more than France and Italy.

New York, May 9-Blackmail- ing lawyers-and New York has passed its quota-usc threat of publicity as q leverage for shake downs AnH yet in nearly all the flimsy cases where victims refuse to be bluffed it is seldom their names are dragged across the front pages
 The first move Of a crooked law yer to terrorize is to send anonNm- ous tips 10 news agencies that SO and-so has been sued. A q matter O. routine the agency calls up the victim. This is, of course, alarming but means nothing. Respecta ble newspapers do not lend themselves tC hi-jacking.
 Hundreds or trumped-up e&tor- ticns get no further than q news editor who promptly losses them is the waste basket Most men and women who submit 10 eXtortive yf- fcrts do SO to protect the innocent, a foolish gesture. Even if scandal iaAl by headlines if is 2 few hours scfsation. The public quickly for gets.
 "A famous comedian Of 20 years ago was involved in one of the red dest scandals Broadway ever knew. A year ago he happened to pass a group at a cafe table One Of the party mentioned the affair. Seven out Of the eight other Broadway wise had no remembrance Of it,
 Indeed a writing gentleman haa compiled q long.-list Of names Of those who were not6roEsly publio- ized in thick S-column streamers during the past decade. During their ordeal, they were discuss d pro and con almost everywhere.
 Among them-and how many do you idcntify?-wero Ocey SneaI, Jcycc HaWlev. Robert Reidt, Joseph Robin, Mary Pagan. Bruce Isnay, Herman kochl, Wi1bur Huston. Caesar Young. Harold Bride, Fred Beauyis, Alice Jones. Clarence Y. Y. Richesou. Constantin Dumha, Vera Cathcart and Mary Louise Spas.
 Nothing achieves such sudden prominence and nothing yanshes 70 miraculously as scandal But swol- len. ugly headlines will likely strike terror SO long as human nature is what it is. And that is why black mail flourishes Blackstone said years ago. "Only q fool pays a blacknailer.
 One Of my Dads fayorite stories concerned the Texas judge address ing a Mexican accused Of horse theft. "Manuel Jose Santos he Irtoned in a dreamy voice. in few weeks Spring will be uponsus The snows and ice will vanish and roses will perfume the glorious air, Earth will witness its annual miracle of transformation All nature will be glad. But you, Manuel Jose Santos, you yelloWheIlied grcaser. will not be here 10 see 1t. because you hang three weeks from today. Court s adjourned.'
