New Republic Advises Trip

First Hand.
H00VER'S VISIT CITED

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SINEMS
Scripps-HOward Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Re-
ports long current that President
Elect Roosevelt might visit Europe
before he takes office today as
Sumed new form.
The New Republic, out TODAY. in
an open letter to Governor Roose-
welt, urges him to undertake the
Journey. to learn firSt-hand some
! thing of the Stupendous problems.
OF other leadingS powers, which. by
the very nature of things. happen
also to be ours.
The letter, signed by Smith Simp-
son Of the Social Science Research
council, reminds the Governor that
IN 1923 Hoover made trip to South
America, with very helpful results.
AT that time" he observes, our
relations with South America were
strained. We had nearly gone to
war with Mexico thee year be-
fore We had interviewed in Mica
kragua.
Trip Brings Good Will
Mr.. Hoover's trip had a bracing
effect. Good will was restored.
trade expanded. Politically the
trip was equally wise. 1t removed
Mr.. Hoover from the domestic
scene during time when he could
do nothing, yet easily could be criti-
cised.
The same effects you could ac-
complish by trip to Europe
The writer points out that war
debts are but one problem recurring
study abroad. There is the Lytton
report, which this country eventu-
ally must act upon. And there are
the disarmament conference and.
most important of all, the long-de-
ferred economic conference, which
is of an Importance to this nation
hard to exaggerate."
The letter suggests that Roosevelt
visit Britain, Germany, France and
Italy, taking with him "the gentle
men who will be leaders in the
house and senate after March A.
Benefits Pointed Out
BY doing so, it urged, you
would"
l. Remove yourself from the con-
fusion and embarrassment to which
you are exposed at home, when
there is nothing you can do by re-
naming here.
2. Capture the imagination of
the country and preserve your repu-
tation for initiative and resourceful-
ness in the face of unemployment
which threatens to soar above
twelve millions this winter.
3. "Solidify your party leadership
on questions which your party in
evitably will have to face, and on
which you will want complete har-
mony and unity.
4. Again contact with the lead
ers of Europe with whom you must
work after Inauguration.
The writer quotes Roosevelt as
saying, after his airplane flight to
Chicago, that this is no time for
fear, for reaction, or for timidity."
He further suggests that while the
election was landslide, it was due
more to resentment against Hoover
than an expression Of confidence in
Roosevelt.
This confidence, he reminded, has
yet to be won by fearless initiative.

shals told him he could not attack
Vienna without violating the treaty
he had signed2"
Then, assuming one of his many
eroic poses, the senator continues in
steely voice:
HE said: You take Vienna, and
my law professors at Heidelberg will
find me justification.
When he emerges from the self
imposed spell Of his pantomime,
Huey looks around, frowns and adds:
That's what I used to do as Gov

Another sidelight on Huey: Any

as may be expected, the Old Tesla
ment appeals to him more than the
New. He rushes to it and thumbs
its pages nervously whenever he gets
into an argument-which is often
on people and politics.
If he derives direction and
philosophy from biblical lore, he
gets his ideas on tactics from Fred
erick, whose life he has read and
re-read in Redpath's lectures.
It is no stretch of the magma
ton to suggest that he has risen
from rural salesman Of cake flour to
"kingfish" of the Gulf realm by his
resort to sudden and forced marches
into hostile territory.

Hamilton Fish Starts on
Save Capitalism Crusade
Congressman Urges Five
Day Week, Higher Wages
and Job Insurance.

By Scripps-HoWdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-Ham-
ilton Fish Jr., wealthy and blue
blooded member of congress and
eX-football hero, has quit chasing
reds and is out to save capitalism
from its own sins.
The tall New Yorker today out
lined his program from making
capitalism conform to American
ideals. 1t includes:
Compulsory security funds, created
by uniform state laws, in every in
dustry employing more than fifty
men. The funds would be contrib
uted to by employers and workers,
and from them would be maintained
insurance against death, illness and
retirement for the workers.
The five-hour day and the five
day week, with high wages as pos
sible' looking to a return of the
American high standard Of living.
Redistribution of wealth through
high inheritance taxes and high
wages to labor.
Limitation of dividends to stock
holders at per cent and no out
rageously high bonuses" to manage
ment.
Economic planning to gear pro-
duction to consumption.
Capitalism, to survive. must
modify itself" said Fish. 1T must
clean its house of greed and arrange
things so that the masses have
buying power and security. I think
our economic system still is the
best in the world, infinitely better
than Communism or FaScism, but
it is full of abuses. These must be
cured"
Fish says he does not fear Com
munism in this country,
The most remarkable feature of
the depression" he says, lis the
loyalty and faith of American wage
earners. In the midst of our worst
depression. our ten millions joblesS
have not been attracted to Social
ism or Communism. In fact, all the
radical parties polled less than one
million votes"

Gus GENNERICH should have
" his say in any story about
the Roosevelts.
Gus, whom you probably never
heard of, is a New York detective
who for four years has been as
signed as the personal bodyguard
of Governor Franklin Roosevelt.
But he is more than that. He is
the escort, when needed, of the
Roosevelt younger sons =. their
companion, mentor and guide.
He checks them in and out of
the town house when their par
entS are not at home. He is their
sparring partner, their patient
stooge, and a foil for their boyish
enthusiasms.
Also, if you will take his own
word for it, Gus practically is a
member of the family.
Wonderful people!" said Gus,
with feeling. And you got no
idea how natural they are. I was
over at the house for dinner the
other night, and the Governor
yells in that big voice of his: Eats
are ready' and I think how kind
of simple and hearty they are, at
that.
And Mrs. Roosevelt tell you
they lost the pattern after she
was made; seems to think about
nothing else but doing things for
people. My mother was sick not
long ago and Mrs. Roosevelt,
who's so busy, found time to
come right to this apartment for
visits. And then she came to the
funeral when my mother died.
"THE kids :. F.. I got their
Il pictures in there, all auto
graphed Great boys Johnny and
Frank I know best. Of course. I
go with them to shows and fights
and so on.
They're seldom recognized, and
don't want to be, but I go along
just in case, see? Well, they
like Greta Carlo and this Diet
rich woman in the movies
and just about everybody in mu-
steal comedies.
After the show we always get
something to eat and Johnny
tries to pay the check They
like parties, too. Franks got
girl, but says he's never going to
get married.
Frank don't care much about
politics. Says he's going to study
law. Johnny hasn't made up his
mind yet, but I think it'll be law,
too.
They're both awful good arguers.
Right now they're crazy about the
teams and the fighters They
don't smoke nor drink, and
they've never lied to me, and I've
never had to report on EN- to
the Governor. We've had some
arguments, though. 1 kinda try
to tell 'em what's what"
Gus usually accompanies the
family to Warm Springs, Ca,
where Franklin Roosevelt has
found strength and renewed ac-
tivity IN the healing waters.
On a hillside overlooking a hol-
low is the next Summer White
House. 1t even looks a little like
the White House in miniature.
Inside are d big living room, a Ii
brary, three bedrooms and a
kitchen.
The President-elect spends part
of each morning on the spacious
porch, reading his mail. At IL
o'clock he drives down to the pool
for swimming and exercise. There
he receives his second mail and
reads it while summing.
LIE reads the papers, has lunch,
Il Il receives a few visitors and
later goes for a drive over back
woods roads, with Gus bouncing
beside him and hoping the flivver
won't turn over.

that the $50 children of the La
Sale orphanage, back of the eX-

be deprived of their annual party.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who herself was
orphaned at 10, says she wouldn't
miss that for anything, especially
since it's the last time we can
have them"

l. No, unless they decide to
forego children entirely. Not
only would their lives be made
unhappy by imperfect children,
and the children be forced to
live unhappy lives, but the de-
feet would in turn be handed
down to future generations.
This likely would be true,
even should some of their chill
dren not manifest the defect.
Many people in such cases have
given up marriage or else hav-

Deafeated SeafOrd Easily
BY easily defeating Seaford on the

the locals added another victory to
their already long list. Seaford
started in like they meant to give
the local nine battle. They scored
four runs on four hits in the first
inning off of McWilliams. After that
McWilliams retired the side on
strikes. With the one bad inning
out of his system, the visitors could
only get one more single during the
balance of the game. Henry and
Bradley from Mardella formed the
battery for Seaford Day, a high

while Short, still nursing some bad
fingers, played center, due to the
absence of Hall. The locals collect
ed fourteen hits which included eight
singlesfi four doubles and two trip

and a single out of four trips to the
plate. Several of the local hitters
