Let No Child Starve,
Should Be Policy

One of the Federal Gov
ernment's innumerable bu-
reaus has issued a folder for
the instruction of American
families, in dire distress, on
what to eat and how much
to pay. 1t is interesting to
learn that one Of the bureaus
has discovered the women
and children who are with
out enough to eat or wear;
and has concluded that there
is grave danger that many
thousands of children who
escape actual starvation may
emerge from these days OF
privation ruined in health.
The Federal Government
is sure that a family of three
can live on from five to seven
dollars a week and the chlId
have the milk it needs and
the other food containing
iron. 1t sets forth a budget
for the family; 25 cents for
milk, 20 cents for vegetables,
20 cents for bread and ce-
reals, 20 cents for fats and
sugars, and Is cents for
cheese, eggs, meats. There
are many families these days
not yet on charity that are
existing on less than this and
these will read Ogden Mills
feeling protest against
" soaking the rich 3" with
mingled feelings.
The Washington times., 1932-01-05
Mills and Mellon
Are Rich Men

The weakness Of Mr.. Mills
statemc~t is in the fact that
Mr.. Mills, Of the Trea Try,
is put in the light of speak
ing up for Mr.. Mills, the
taxpayer. He is a very rich
man, and, naturally, does
not relish the idea of the
rich being soaked. " So
is Mr.. Mellon. It would
have been more intelligent
strategy to have had the
Mills statement given out
by some member of his
party who would not per-
sonalIy be involved in a
policy of soaking the
rich. "
All of which goes back to
the former prejudice of the
American people against
placing the Treasury in the
keeping of men of enormous
wealth. It may be possible
for a man of enormous
wealth in the Treasury to put
his personal interest aside IN
determining on where the
taxes shall fall and who
shall be soaked" but it
must be difficult.
Men of financial genius in
the public field have made
great Secretaries of the
Treasury though possessed OF
small means themselves.
Hamilton was poor. GaIlatln,
his peer, was only well-to-do'
Crawford, whose manage
ment of the Treasury met
the approval of American
business, was without large
means. Few of the heads of
the Treasury have been very
rich men. These could have
said what Mr.. Mills said
with better effect on the
average mind.

Bread and Work Weapons
Against Communism

Senator Reed of Pennsyl-
vania has just given out a
statement to the effect that
Communism is not making
headway among the Ameri-
can unemployed. That, to a
large degree, we believe to
be true. He says that
"education' is the best
bulwark against >subversive
doctrines, and that is true,
with some reservations. 1t
is not true that we "can
face the future with equa-
namity," as he says, if vast
armies of men are to be out
of work and refused the
right to work for years.
Education is effective when
men have food, but educa-
ton, without bread, and
without the right to work
to get it, will not hold men
to any governmental theory
for long. Bread and work
in America are the most
effective protection against
subversive doctrines.
If the millions in America
have not been alienated
from our system, it is be-
cause charitable individuals
and local communities have
been sympathetic and de-
cent; but in the case of
these miners in H a RI a n
county, where organized So
ciety under our govern
mental forms stands aloof
and indifferent while drunk
en- ruffians, armed with
guns, terrorize women and
blackjack men, it is inevi-
table that these victims will
turn against the govern
ment. That is human ma
ture. There isn't a man on
Wall Street, who, subjected
with his wife and children
to such brutality, would not
turn savage tomorrow.

ZONE time ago in these
, columns, discussing the
plight of the miners in Har-
Ian county, KY, we reviewed
the story of the murderous
and traitorous assaults on
the human rights of the
miners of West Virginia 20
years ago. Now, with the
report of the commission
named by the governor of
Kentucky to investigate the
savagery in Harlan county,
the analogy is complete. We
told how mine guards, re-
cruited from a mong the
criminal classes of large
cities and furnished with i'm
plements of death and an
abundance of whiskey, were
prone to descend upon the
cabins of the miners in their
absence and terrorize their
families and steal the little
they had left in their cup
boards. We related the story
of the assassination of an
Italian woman, who, with
child, was kicked in the
stomach by the head of the
private army "a loathsome
crime that was never prose
cuted.
And now from Kentucky,
from the report of the COVER
nor's investigating commits
sion, comes this story:
The mine guards, or pri-
vate army, still tolerated by
American civilization, to the
disgrace of our people, have
been making raids on the
miners cabins in Harlan
county. Twelve to Is men,
frequently sodd en- drunk,
and brutal, have surrounded
the cabins containing terror

then swooped down upon the
house, using abusive lam

mony.
