I have discussed this question twice IN
my campaign Only today in Spring
field set forth in some detail my pro-
posals with respect to this. What I said
there, was an amplification of my pledge
in my Topeka speech of month ago
I seek definite action by the Federal
Govern1dht-and I stress the word
"action"-to prevent farmers from los
ing their homes, to provide for them
lower interest rates where, as in many
cases, such rates are excessive, and to
extend the capital payments due under
the original mortgage terms.
We have seen too many farmers
driven from their homes and from
their lands. 1t is time to reverse that
process
These are the eight great credit
groups Of the country. And this Is, In
brief, what the Democratic party pro-
poses to do with regard to each. sub

and your insight the case Of the Demo-

Realizes Difficulty Of Task.
I have taken you over the great field
of permanent American finance. have
tried to summarize for you in q few
minutes the result Of many months Of
public discussion Of the various prob
lens connected with these credit groups.
I fully know that the tasks before
me are heavy; some are difficult, but
all are possible The question is not
whether the situation could be worse;
the question Is, how can we make it
better?
The financial fabric of America is as
I have said before, seamless web held
together by the infinitely complex 10y
alties of men. We must protect it
against men who would tear 1t to
pieces rather than face defeat. There
is every reason to face the future with
confidence. Let us bend our minds
and will in performing this plain duty
because the unmistakable temper of
the American people is going to place
this responsibility upon the Democratic
party. That is the lesson Of the past
few weeks 1t is the answer Of the
American people.

of a woman who did these things.

81 Will NotO

1t is possible for a fortnight man to become
nauseated with evasive words even though those
words be spoken in his own political household
Mr.. Borah of Idaho is a fortnight man. There
fore, while his declaration is distinct sensation it
is not illogical or especially surprising all things con-
sdered.
In reply to the query drect-will he or will he
not support Mr. Hoover and Mr. Hoover's platform
in 1932-Mr. Borah says:
ct will not"
Those are the words of fortnight man.
Had Mr. Borah been man of the other type
ne could have replied as follows:
THE Republican party always has stood and
stands today for obedience to and enforcement of
the law as the very foundation of orderly govern
ment and civilization While the Constitution makers
sought high degree of permanence they foresaw
neeo OF changes and provided for them
Members Of the Republican party hold different
opinions and no official member of the party should
be pledged forced to choose between his Marty af
hliations and his honest convictions The American
nation never IN its history has gone backward
nevertheless, after little more than two wears
the FEDERAL farm board has many achievements to
It's credit The patience and courage of our peonle
have been tested severely but their faith in them
selves, in their institutions and in their future re-
mains unshaken
I'VE favor the policy of giving to the people of
Alaska the widest possible territorial self-govern
ment The problem is nonpartisan and so must be
treated, if it is to be solved The vagaries of the
Democratic house of representatives offer character
istc and appealing proof of the existing incapactv
of that party
I'VE favor the fullest protection of the property
rights OF the American Indian. We believe that the
time has come when senators and representatives
should be impressed with the infiexble truth that
the first concern should be the welfare of the United
States Without it, election under a party aegis be-
comes false pretense"
Mr. Borah, without departing from the language
OF the platform of the party to which he belongs
could have made that response. But, being a direct
man, he answered:
Il will not"
Simple words those And how symbolic of the
desires of distressed nation in time like this
nation wearied with vacillation, sick of bunk.
Senator Borahs declaration is signal It sounds
the cry of halt to every pussyfooer in politics It is
a warning that our people want as their leader in
these critical years neither a Hoover nor another
Hoover.

Pitiless Publicity

Winds supposed to be tempered to the shorn lambs
still blow cold upon the thousands of Americans who
lost their savings in what they were led to believe
were the shares Of sound and honorably conducted
corporations
At least these and the public that suffers with
them should be permitted to learn by whom they
were Wctnized and how.
The senate banking and currency committee has
been teaching them. So far the picture isn't pretty
1t reveals some of highly respected bankers and
corporation heads entering pools of their own stocks
to enrich themselves and friends and relatives i'm
poverishing their companies for private gains
helping themselves to huge bonuses; playing their
own shares short and leaving their sharehoding
partners paupers
Unfortunately much of the infamy of these re-
spectacle men Of affairs is non-actionable These
'rnalefactors of great wealth." as Roosevelt would
have called them, will not have to share the fate
OF lesser crooks But at least they should be treated
to the remedy of publicity
The senate committee needs $4,000 to carry on
this summer and prepare for new hearings in the
winter session. The few thousand may save rnanv
millions in the future.

The Wrong Man

In 1929, George Growden %, was arrested, tried,
and convicted OF robbery and murder in RomuIus,
Mich. He positively" had been identified as one
OF the assailants of gas station salesman.
Because Michigan has gotten along without the
death penalty since 1S47, the young man was SEN
fenced to life. Last week three other youths con-
fessed to the crime, completely absolving Growden,
who had served 300 days.
No one knows how many innocent men are among
the 100 whose lives are taken by the states
each year. We know that Michigan and even other
civilized states that have abolished the death pen
atty are in position to correct their mistakes
The forty others who kill by moose electric chair,
or gas chamber do nothing about it. They will
have committed crimes serious as any they punish
They will have killed innocent men.
Were there no other argument against legal kill
ing this should suffice for its abolition

were a man of enormous

IF l were a man OF enormous
Il wealth-heaven forbid! I think
I would buy thousands of copies OF
William z. Fosters Toward Soviet
America" and circulate them gratis.
I think that this is one of the most
unfortunate books ever penned by
man, and every radical of whatever
rank or deviation owes a personal
grudge to the leader of the Com
munists in this country.
If Mr.. Foster were arguing a COM
plete fallacy, his ineptitude would
be lust SO much velvet. His failure
is more serious than that. He sue
ceeds in making true things seem
false and almost everything appear
tiresome.
Without much doubt, here is a
sincere and earnest man, and many
have held that fervor is half the
battle in the business of English
composition. Unfortunately, it isn't
so.
No matter how deep mans feel
ing, he can not say precisely the
same thing in the same language on
every other page without losing his
audience.
There would be no just cause for
complaint if William 2. Foster
wrote a simple, earthly prose, en-
tirely devoid of literary frills and
fancies. But this is not the fact. 1t
is the effort toward airs and graces
which makes him such prodigious-
ly bad writer.

Must Think Ahead

TINE notion that it doesn't make
4 much difference what kind of
a government we have, so long as
times are good, was a by-product
of the cheap, impermanent pros
perity in which we placed such con-
fidence. If the depression destroys
it, we will have gained something
of value.
The kind of government we al
ways have makes difference
difference which sometimes can not
be perceived until years afterward.
Some of the troubles we are facing
right now go back to the kind of
government we had five, ten or
even fifteen years ago.
1t takes a long time for a bad
law, or shortsighted policy, to
work itself out. We still are paying
for mistakes made during the war,
and will be for the next fifty years.
People who would govern them
selves not only must think, but
think far ahead.

AS the barber worked quietly, the
editor would doze off, awakening at
the finish of the shave. The nap
refreshed him for his combining tasks
of the afternoon.
While some people assert that
sleeping in the daytime interferes
with their natural slumber at night,
Psychologists tell us that there is no
essential and inherent inappropri-
atenesS in reversing the process.
This is borne out in the habits of
night watchmen, newspaper workers,
railroad men, mail clerks, factory
men on night shifts, and other
workers who toll at night and sleep
by day.
The nap, or "siesta," has been the
universal procedure in southern
countries for centuries. This period
OF rest, coming after lunch, generally
lasts from one to two hours, during
the hottest period of the day.
BY resting during this time no
work is done during the hot spell
and the energy stored up during
sleep rejuvenates the slunberer.

And his selection is exceedingly

ways. And yet no more than a page

Mr.. Foster can not seem to see the
weakness in using the self-same wit

is even deeper than that. One gets
the impression of a man without
continuity of thought.
He seems to suffer from a sort of
literary agoraphobia and breads the

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Maps Valuable for Recuperation

This little nap, probably not more
than a few minutes, and more often
less, is enough to pep up a person
and drive away that feeling of ex-
haustion that bears one down after
a day of toll.
Several stories are told of big
business men and the ways they
have of taking maps, or "siestas."
A New York captain of industry
found that he could refresh him
self after lunch by a short "cat nap"
but was at loss to wake himself up.
He solved the problem by holding
a bunch Of keys in his hand. as he
dozed off his grip on the keys would
relax.
Finally, after he had fallen sound
asleep, the keys would fall, the re-
sulting jangle awakening him.
The city editor of an afternoon
newspaper used another system. He
found barber shop and picked out
a barber who didn't do much talk
ing. He went there every afternoon
after lunch and got a shave.

Just Every Day Sense

ostrich
The few "highIghts" and striking sentences
picked out by energetic reporters were plattudinos

may deserve special mention since it marks what ap-

pride to the fact that there now are more men in
prison for federal oenses than ever before in our
history.
This is an achievement that should elate us. In

good many voters right now would like to Join the
prison squads, since they eat regularly. Perhaps if
the gentlemen keep on their entire constituency will

NOTHING could have been more disappointing to
the rank and file of Americans than to have

inane statements as those voiced by Senator Dick

Masses Are Asleep

L mitted Governor Roosevelt to
run away with their organization
last winter, consoling themselves
with the comfortable thought that
he was bound to lose, because he
had started too early.
Such thought furnished the best
kind of alibi for those who were too
lazy to bestir themselves. That,
more than anything else, made it
popular.
Now the Democratic masses, or a
good portion Of them at least, want
different kind of candidate. They
just are waking up to the fact that
their dumb theory about starting too
soon was all wrong.

Must Stay on Jobs

VOU can't run democracy by
L getting excited over some ques-
ton, or candidate, once in four
years, or even once in two.
If people are going to govern
themselves, they must stay with the
job. If they do not stay with the
job, some one else will do the gov
erning.
Just take that idea home to your
self. How much time have you
spent studying politics during the
last year? Have you spent any
where nearly as much as you have
keeping up with baseball scores,
bridge games and comic strips?
Assuming that you have talked
quite a bit, especially about the
liquor question, how much time have
you given to the local party organi-
cation, not as a worker, but to make
yourself familiar with its leaders
and detectives?
