VATICAN CITY, March 6.-The
newspaper OSservatore Romano yester-
day resumed criticism of the Italian
government for alleged failure to fulfill
the Lateran treaty in regard to sup
preston of immortality of the stage and
the press and observance of Sunday in
Rome.
The newspaper took issue with Pre-
mier Mussolini's aide, Leandro Appinati
undersecretary of the interior, who. in
a speech in the Chamber of Deputies
Tuesday, indirectly questioned the accu-
racy of the Pope'S statement to Roman
priests that the government was not
maintaining the atmosphtre of reli-
gious center in Rome, as provided by
the treaty.

directly of casting aspersions on the
Pope by using such phrases as masters

GERMANY FEELING
U. S. BONUS LOANS

BERLIN, Germany, March 6. - The

over German treasury experts and
financial authorities. The reason is
that the Germans had hoped that the

Former Reichsbank President DR..
Hjalmar Schacht and the present pres

Luther, disagree on any number OF
things, but they are united in the
opinion that Germany's first need is
the conversion of these shot term loans.
whose periodic renewal is wearisome
and whose possible withdrawal is an in
cipient nightmare.
1t is seriously reckoned that the
withdrawal of say two-thirds OF these
loans at a given moment would precipi-
tate the collapse of several first-class
banks and industries unless the treas
ury interviewed to save them. The
treasury, though its condition is no
worse, is certainly in no position to Of
fer such obligatory help. Therefore,
these loans have been defined as an lin

paralyzing the country's freedom Of
action.
Passing of the bonus loan bill is eX-
pected to postpone for months the day
when the reviving American bond mar
ket would again be in position to abb

They Try a Witch

IN Buffalo, they are re-staging the
Il so-called witchcraft case, in
which a crazy old Seneca squaw is
charged with having murdered an
artists wife, because another squaw
had fallen in love with the artist.
For the sake of truth, it should be
entitled "a chapter in modern
art" because that is where it orig
mated.
A French painter became afflicted
with the illusian that Indian women
offered the only adequate outlet for
his welding talents. To get
them in properly receptive mood,
he made love to them. One took it
seriously, thought he was sincere,
and imagined that his wife was the
only obstacle between her and con-
nubial bliss.
With true native cunning, this
woman went to the old squaw who
believed in witchcraft, told her that
the artists wife was witch, that
she had caused the old squaw's hus-
band to die with her black magic. as
well as many other direful things,
and finally got the old squaw
worked up to a point where she
looked upon murder as the only way
to save herself and her people from
destruction.
Now the state Of New York wants
to electrocute the old squaw.
Wouldn't that be a triumph for
modern civilization and vindica-
ton of modern art?

A Progressive Rishop

In the Protestant church there is a decisive drift
toward more open-minded attitude on birth control
The august and authoritative gathering of Anglican
bishops in the Lambeth conference gave limited as
sent to the application of the principle and declared
it to be in harmony with Christian morality.
The question remains, however as to who is to
decide lust what constitutes Christian morality The
pope holds that Christian morality can not coun-
tenance birth control Bishop Manning seems closer
to him than to the Lambeth conference. In pre-
dominantly Protestant America, we still keep on the
law books barbarous statutes tabooing the giving OF
birth control information even by physicians.
If he is reported correctly in the press the bishop
of Sheffield England, has gone the whole way and
nut himself on ground which is as logical and i'm
pregnable as it is progressive
He has had the courage to state that, after all,
the question of birth control is medical rather than
religious issue: Birth control is more matter Of
health than OF Conscience medical rather than
a religious question"
If this is a correct report of the bishops state
ment, this is by implication one of the most epoch
making ecclesiastical pronouncements since the al
legged delegation of st. Peter to found the Church
of Christ on earth

An Unwise Veto

While We admire the Presidents courage in the
situation and the directness of his attitude dis
tinct from any purpose to resort to pocket Veto
we regret nevertheless that he considers it his duty
to veto the veterans loan bill.
There is a vast difference between the original
proposition to pay in cash the full face value of the
bonus certificates and the present bill to liberalize
the loan terms
We joined with the President in fighting against
the cash payment bill. 1t would have meant three
and half billion dollar bond issue, jeopardizing
federal finances and retarding business revival by
running the bond market
And it would have destroyed one of the purposes
OF the bonus certificates, which to provide funds
for the veterans in later life. when they would need
them most.
The fight against cash payment is won. For that
the country is to be congratulated and the Presi-
dent is to be praised
The loan bin is entirely different. No one denies
that many veterans are in dire need result Of
unemployment for which they are not responsible.
To increase the loan value Of their certificates from
q to SO per cent and reduce the interest charge
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-02-21

from to Az per cent is no than just-es-
pecialy since the government can borrow money for
less than AZ per cent
The bill merely advances by about six years the
original maturing loan value That is little enough
There is one flaw in the bill 1t covers all vet
Grams instead of only those in need Therefore
some veterans who do not actually need to do so
unwisely may go into debt under the temptation of
ready cash.
But the loan and interest terms are hardly at
tractive enough to tempt large numbers of employed
veterans to mortgage their future.
At the present rate at which veterans are apply
ing for loans, the bill will not entail the maximum
outlay of billion and half, but additional financ-
ing estimated, by some. as low as $43OoOO0OO. And
this is not Va gift but valid loan against the best
Of security
We believe that bill definitely limited to the
unemployed would have been better and that such
bill probably could have been passed had the adj
ministraton offered such constructive alternative
to the cash payment proposal in the beginning
But since that was not done congress now has
passed the general loan bill AS no basic principle
is involved, believe presidential veto would be
a mistake.
After ALL congress is the body, under the Con-
stitution, that determines national policy. Over
throwing the will of congress is something Presi-
dent should undertake only in crisis SO serious that
his conscience will not permit him to do otherwise
The house has voted to l. and the senate to /,
in favor of the present bill This far exceeds the two
thirds majority required to pass the bill over presi-
Dental Veto
We do not believe the President should attempt
to set himself above the will of such an overwhem-
ing majority, unless the fate of the nation is in
voved It is not The veterans have a right to
fairer loan terms.

Every month would have a per-

The day of the week also would
indicate the monthly date and vice

At Washington, Ind.

1t is significant that in the city in Indiana
which bears the name of the Father of His
Country, father is under arrest for refusal
to teach his children to salute the flag.
His reasons for this refusal are religious.
He belongs to the Amish faith. A part of the
crede is to given allegiance only to God.
1t may be well to remember on the birth
day anniversary of Washington that he is not
revered for his craftsmanship but for his
love of liberty and the fact that he led sue
cessful revolution against tyranny. He is not
loved because he saluted the British flag, but
because he refused to salute it.
One Of the things for which he was ready
to die was the right to worship as he pleased.
Liberty to him meant freedom of speech, a
free press, freedom of worship and partic-
patton in government.
Patriotism is a matter Of sentiment and
soul and can not be forced by official power.
Traitors may salute the flag even as they be-
tray it's principles. The true patriot will try
to preserve the soul of that nation.
It might be suggested that some organi-
cation which really believes in this country
should Journey to Washington, Ind, and
teach those in authority something of Amer
lean history and little of American ideals.

Business Leaders See Vir-
tues in Reform of Calen-
dar.
THE council Of the League Of Ma
L tons has issued an invitation
for an international conference up
on the subject of calendar reform.
The date has been set as Oct. %.
The preparatory work for this
conference has been made possible
by George Eastman, the multimil-
lionaire kodak manufacturer. who
has given a fund Of $4,000 to the
league for that purpose.
Eastman, who has given gener-
ouSly to the cau5e Of science and
medicine, and who also has been
liberal patron Of music and art, has
shown considerable interest lately
in the subject Of calendar reform.
Critics of the present calendar
point out three facts which they
regard as major defects in it. They
are:
/. The fact that the months are
Of unequal length.
2. Lack of any systematic CORE
spondence between monthly dates
and days Of the week:
3. Lack of fixed dates for Easter
and other church festivals.
Critics say that the present cal
endar makes it difficult for business
organizations to keep financial rec
ords on a monthly basis.

The Low Wage Fallacy

Unemployment can be checked by shortening the
working day and week and thus spreading work
among more persons. No one disputes this. But
some business men argue that working hours can
not be cut without a corresponding wage cut.
This fallacy also is put forward by Professor W.
I King of New York university He says:
Labor can not lift itself by the bootstraps 1t
can not divide product which is not produced. 1t
can not work less and get more wages cut OF one
third in working hours would cut production and
hence weekly wages about one-third. II this Is
agreeable to the workers, well and good; but they
should make the step with this result clearly in mind
King apparently clings to the old wages-fund
theory of classical economics exploded nearly cen
tury ago This doctrine was that the price which
could be paid to labor was fixed and could not be
exceeded without disaster
On does King assume that labor is being paid
highly enough now? He hardly can do this, as his
very able study of income in the United States re-
veaIed the miserable annual wage Of unskilled la
borers.
King holds that the trouble with us is buyers
strike-that there plenty Of money, but people won't
spend it, There may be something to this as applied
to the small rich class. But even more important
is the fact that most people have too little to be able
to spend
King probably is right in insisting that the over
production DOGGY has been overworked, but he says
little about the other side of the picture-under-
consumption due in the main to unsteady and made
quate wage payments.
Rerduced working hours and maintenance Of pres
ent wage payments would go far toward relieving both
unemployment and underconSumption. Kings solu-
ton of speeding consumption through interest in lux
uries and nonessentials may contribute something.
But it is far less sound and comprehensive than
assuring work for everybody at decent wages even If
capital does have to take temporary loss Of inter
est and dividends to stabilize profits later
