self-control-as we'd have these
kids believe.
OUR ENVIRONMENT
CURBED 1T FOR US.
Every day, in a thousand
ways, we had our impatience
and conceit whammed out of us.
Remember those wintery morn
ingS when we stood around
shivery and blue with "goose
pinples"? Could we get warm
by pressing a button to turn
on a furnace or phoning
down to the janitor to rustic
up more heat? No, we couldn't.
We had to split our own
kindling-make our fire-and
endure our chattering teeth
while we did so.
Remember that first job you
had away from home how
homesick you got how you
longed to hear Mas voice?
Could you jump into a roadster
land get home in a couple of
hours, or step into the nearest
drug store and ring up? No,
. you couldn't. You had to stick
it out.
so WE LEARNED ABOUT
PATIENCE AND SELF CON
troll FROM THAT!
And now we're pretending that
we did it all ourselves-When
the truth is we'd have ducked
hardship just as fast as these
youngsters do if we'd chance.
We have our nerve!
All Wrong
The kids are wrong, of course.
They can't outsmart Life any
more than we could. But it
isn't their fault that they
think they can. This Machine
Age, WHICH WE OLDERS
HAVE WISHED ON THEM,
has given them the idea. Every
thing ready made heat,
light, water, sound. speed, fun,
food, clothes-no wonder they
expect to lead push-button lives.
Moreover, our live-wire sales
man, our clever ads, have
taught them to despise people
who don't get Quick Results
taught\them to sneer at
farmers who use plows instead
of tractors, at wives who bake
their own bread when they
might buy it better and cheaper
at the grocery.
THEN WHY SHOULDN'T
THEY THINK THAT CHAR
ACTER CAN ALSO COME
READY MADE. THAT POWER,
CAN BE ACHIEVED BY
LEARNING A BUNCH OF
TRICK GESTURES AND A
LINE OF WISE CRACKS?
OF course it can't. It's as
hard to be strong and loving
and wise and good in 1882 as it
was in 1888. 1t takes as much
time and machines don't do a
bit of good. But you're got to
prove that to the Machine Age
youngster. And you'll never
prove it by losing your temper
and calling him a Bad Egg.

The Public Will
Be Satisfied

With Congress in recess,
the statement given out by
Henry Rainey, the Demo-
cratic leader in the House,
concerning the actions of
the majority thus far, and
it's policy in the future, is
coming in for discussion;
and for the inevitable jeers
from the Administration Or
gans. Yet it was a very
fine and sane statement
indicative of a sound policy.
The President has submit
ted proposals dealing with
economic conditions. These
have been received, and will
be received, with the respect
due to the presidential Of
flee; and they have been, or
will be, adopted whenever
they meet the approval of
the House which holds the
mandate from the people,
and when an amendment is
thought, necessary it will be
added-as in the case of the
m ora t o r ium amendment.
Pending the passage of these
measures Mr.. Rainey an
nounces that there will be
no general oratOrical on
slaughts on the Administra-
tion.
Thus far the Administra'
ton press is satisfied.
But he adds that after the
Administration has submit
ted it's program the House,
with a recent mandate from
the people, will have pro-
gram Of it's own, and that
the Administration numer-
GUS sins of omission and COM
mission will be very frankly
discussed. And this shocks
the Administration press.
The public, however, will be
very we'll satisfied with that
program.

Things Congress
Must Consider

Just now it seems the Ad-
ministration, or the Federal
Government, will not be able
to stand aloof from human
misery entirely. The execu-
tive director Of the Welfare
Council of New York, Mr..
William Hodson, has just
given the Senate Committee
on Manufactures some fig
ures and facts denoting the
absurdity of the Presidents
theory that private charity.
and the appropriations OF
the municipality can ade-
quately provide for the dis
tressed.
He finds that wages IN
New York have declined be
tween fifty and sixty mil
lions a month, and that relief
agencies have expended a
maximum of four millions a
month.
The last figure we have on
unemployment in New York
is that 100000 people are ont
of jobs; and the President S
emergency relief committee,
acting with the donations Of
private charity, has only
$4,000 families or individuals
on its payroll; and the Wal
ker municipal committee has
1900 on the payrolls, and
5000 World War veterans
are being aided through
other agencies.
The director of the Wei,
fare Council is not interested
in politics; his business IS
humanity; and he can see no
way properly to meet the
situation in New York city
without Federal aid.
When Congress recOnveneS
we shall, or should, have
some information on the
condition of these 1000 ,OOo
unemployed, and, including
their dependents, the 10000
600 people in distress.

Mr.. Stimson's Dealings
With the Press

Win Ine FreSS
1t is this lack of good
faith with the American
people which accounts for
the general lack of conf
dence in the Administration.
We have an illustration the
story from Washington ex-
planning the absence of Mr..
Stimson from his office one
day. 1t was found neces-
sary to report that "those
in position to know denied
that he had remained away
from the State Department
to hold secret conferences
with certain foreign am
bassadors. "
Evidently the Washington
correspondents are suspl-
cious of the activities of the
head of the State Depart
ment; and this is the out
growth of Mr.. Stimsop's
The Washington times., 1932-01-02
A Lack of
Frankness


1t does seem that the Ad-
ministration might be less
secretive with the American
people, of whom it is the
servant, in dealing with these
matters. No one yet knows
what understandings were
reached between Mr.. Hoover
and NJ. Laval in the secret
diplomatic conclaves in
Washington.
The President at the time,
or Immediately afterward,
stoutly insisted, in the in
spired articles given out,
that there was no thought
of transferring the debts.
But it is evident that M.
Laval had a different un-
derstanding. That is the
reason he was given an ova-
tion because of his triumph
over America when he re-
turned to Paris. One of
the Partisan papers has said
within the week that Laval
understood that the PreSi-
dents agreement was re-
garding this very matter.
There has been a distress
ing lack of frankness on the
part of the Administration
throughout, if not a delib-
crate attempt to deceive the
American people. Thus, when
Secretary Stimson and Sec
retary Mellon both sailed for
Europe about the same time,
it was given out officially
that they were on tours Of
recreation. With all the
human misery and pressing
problems at home it scarcely
seemed the time for the Cab
met to turn it's back upon
our problems and sail away.
But Stimson and Mellon
went to Europe to discuss
debts, and did discuss debts;
and it seems a shocking, de-
liberate deception of the
American people to have
given, out a different story
officially.

lack of frankness in deal
ing with the press. At the
time of the London arms
conference the representa-
tives of the American press
made no secret of their re-
sentiment of Mr.. Stimson' s
policy which must be due to
one Of two things: his tenn

derstand the press, or his
impatience with the idea
that the people, through the
press, should be informed Of
proceedings he would pre-

THE President evidently
is displeased with the
amendment to the mora
torium setting forth the
policy of Congress and the
American people on the
European plan to transfer
the debts of IA nations to the
backs of our own taxpayers.
1t is announced that he does
not feel himself bound in the
least by the position of the
representatives of the people.
That would naturally be the
slant of one who has such an
autocratic concept of govern
ment. But it just so hap
pens, thanks to the spirit
and letter of American insti-
tutions, that whatever the
President may agree to re-
garding the debts will not be
worth the paper it is written
on until Congress acts.
The President will not give
any attention to the amend
ment and will, if he wishes,
send a delegation to the debt
conference called by the
debtor nations, primarily to
shift the debts to us. The
amendment does not prohibit
that action at all.
But when the President
asks Congress to revive the
World War debts commits
sion he will be refused; since
the sole purpose of the re-
vival is to get a recommen-
dation from experts" that
we pay the debts.
