Cable Citizenship Act
Hailed as Significant
Prom the PhiladsiDhia inquirer

From the Philadelphia inquirer
BY passing the Gable bill Congress
ends the forfeiture Of United states
citizenship when an american woman
marries . foreigner. Since September
%, 1927, American women have re-
tanned their national status unless their
huS ndS we're aliens ineligible for
naturalization. The exception chiefly
Affected American wives of members Of
the Monaghan races. Now that dis
ability Is removed.
Moreover, the rights arising from ma
tivity here, which a woman might have
relinquished by marriage or by resi-
dence abroad, may now be reacquired
without the formality of again estab-
fishing q fiVe-year residence. This
point was raised against William y.
Bryan'S daughter, Mrs. Ruth Bryan
Owen. in the contest nled against her
election as Representative from Florida.
Leaders Of the Womans Party hail the
achievement as the greatest triumph OF
equal rights since adoption Of the suf-
frage amendment. They see In it the
successful elimination of q 20-year
campaign. Certainly 1t marks radical
departIe from what had been accepted
international practice for centuries,
when q woman always assumed the ma
tASAAa1Aty % 4lCE A0cUdA1us Al 8CCCRt~
ing the conclusions Of The Hague con-
ference OF 1880 on naturalization this
country becomes the first in the world
to accord, full parity TO the sexes on the
score of civil rights apart from marital
alliance
While generally regarded as victory
for feminisna, the reform has impllca-
tions that give new dignity to the abb
stract conception Of American citizen-
ship. Unless. the possessor files formal
Remuneration, the right Is now almost
inalienable. Thus it is pervaded with
D sense Of power and privilege which
Roman citizenship once conferred. One
may recall that the circumstance pro-
foundly affected the life, teachings ane
great mission Of ST. Paul. No such ex-
pectations surround the future Of the
Gable bill enactment. But one can
hardly deny that its international
significance may prove greater than
present indications suggest.

VOLSTEAD
Modification Plans Advance
Rapidly; Membership
Campaign On

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-De-
signs for membership buttons and
cards will be submitted this week to
officers of labor's national committee
for modification of the Volstead act,
and Immediately upon acceptance of
design a national membership cam
paign will be inaugurated.
Local organizations of this fighting
labor organization will be formed
throughout the country, with every
prospect pointing to the building Of
the biggest membership organization
now in the field in relation to the
modification movement.
President Matthew Woll and Secre-
tary-Treasurer l. M. Ornburn have
been in conference repeatedly over
plans for the membership campaign
and plans are in shape so that active
work may start as soon as member
ship supplies can be got ready.
Each member will be provided with
an official card of membership and
with a beautiful emblem button, as
we'll as with literature offering sug-
!, gestions for making membership
effective in the fight for modification.
| Correspondence is pouring to ma

tion here from all points asking about
plans for the formation of local or

OBSOLETE EQUIPMENT

There comes the story Of the bank
ruptcy of great steel company, for
no other reason than the obsolescence
of it's equipment! And discussion of
this fact leads to revelations concern
ing the obsolete character of the
of the steel mills generally,
and the statement that under condi-
tions when only about so per cent of
the steel plants operate, it is the ones
whose equipment is obsolete that be-
come the wall-fowers.
And so with the railroads of the
country, and which are far behind in
up-to-date equipment.
Those are two of what might be
called "basic industries s"-railroads
and steel. But to these we can add
the coal business, which is trying to
shake itself together, but begins by
trying to shake down the miners
wages first of all The coal mining
business is said to be operating with
about 70 per cent of up-to-date ma
chinery for underwriting, transport,
elevating and handling of coal at the
mines. But it is the little companies
that play havoc with the prices of
coal-and then with wages, so as to
cut prices.
A detailed survey of the metal
working machinery equipment of the
nation in 1925 showed that "A per
cent of this equipment had been in
stalled ten years or more prior to
that time. Another survey, taken in
1880, showed that last year the con-
ditions was even worse, and that 48
per cent of the Woodworking ma
chinery that is used largely to con-
struct the manufacturing equipment
of the nation-was installed ten
years since, or prior to that.
In other words, about half of the
boasted industrial equipment is ten
years or more obsolete. Russia has
better machinery, to the extent that
it has any, than America has now,
on the average! Russia's equipment
is the best that the Americans were
able to sell her.

THE FARM LABORATORY"

Henry Ford seeks solution of the
nations agricultural problem. Up in
Southern Michigan he has dedicated
a 3,000-acre farm to this work, Great
ing an agricultural laboratory" so
to speak. He will put into effect his
fve-dollar- -per-eig ght-hour-day for
farmers and farm laborers. The ex-
pertinent will be watched with in
terest.
Mr.. Ford believes the solutions of
the agricultural problem lies in in
creased efficiency and the discovery
of new markets for farm products,
and, of course, he would correlate
manufacturing and farming.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1931-06-26

1t is a beautiful theory. Good may
come out of the experimentation.
Every step in the effort to find a
solution of this basic problem should
be of assistance. Mr.. Ford believes
also in mechanization and mass pro-
duction. But what the use of mass
production unless mass buying can be
provided? Agricultural difficulties
here are tied up with the complexi-
ties of world economics.
The government has not been able
to do much in it's dubious and ques-
tionable efforts in this direction. A
farm and factory in juxtaposition
might be good thing, but Mr.. Ford
is hopelessly welded to the principle
! and ideal of paternalism, which takes
too little account of the individual
This devotion mas not TOO HappliS
justified itself in Mr.. Ford's indus
trial activities, striking as they have
been in many respects. Along with
the rest of the world he has felt the
burden of world depression, and he
has not hesitated to situate his inter
ests in any sovereignty where he
thought he could discern profit.
In Mr.. Ford's vision the man and
the machine both have part, but the
machine holds the larger place, and
the conduct of all human activity to
him appears to be best served through
some paternal guidance. But the

contribute something to the adjust.

HOME PROSPERITY
is BEST BET

Americas best contribution to
world progress will be the promotion
Of prosperity at home, not mad
scramble for export trade.
Thus declares the Business Week,
leading business magazine, in an edi-
torial last week pounding the chorus
that clamors for export trade and
that weeps and walls about American
overseas business. BUILD PROS
PERITY OUT OF AMERICAN PUR-
CHASING POWER, urges this maga-
zine, of which DR.. Virgil Jordan is
economist. Says the editorial:
Ultimately the only economic JUS
tifcation for sending our goods
abroad is that our people as a whole
may get in return things that we
need, which other countries can pro-
duce more advantageously and which
add to our standard of living and our
real wealth. If we refuse to take
these things, our trade profits no one
but a relatively few security holders
who have lent our foreign customers
the money with which they can enjoy
the wealth we have produced-and
even this profit cannot be permanent
unless ultimately it is converted into
products which our people can con-
sumo.
at is useless to criticize for their
lack of courage those who question a
foreign trade carried on on these
terms, and who do not respond to pa
triotic appeals for it's expansion
They are only facing the facts, which
no amount of fag-waving can con-
ceal. They are only insisting that ou1
foreign trade be left to find it's Level

pulmotor.

selves more energetically to the de-
velopment of the domestic market, for
this country can contribute more to
world progress and stability by pro-
