Shows Determination
To Do the Right Thing

This was the tone of Mr..
Roosevelt's s campaign utter
ances, and this tone in these
had much to do with the re-
suit at the polls. We are ac-
customed to hearing candi-
dates speak an attractive
language before the polls
open and become tongue
tied Immediately afterwards.
Not only become tongue
tied, but to suffer a lapse
of memory.
There is significance and
inspiration in the fact that
here is a former candidate
who talks and writes now as
he talked and wrote before
the election. 1t m ans just
one thing-that he was sim
cere then and is sincere now.
With a will, a determination
to do the right thing, the
battle is half won.
Mr.. Roosevelt thus con-
tinues to write about emer-
gency relief for the jobless;
but he will not be content
with temporary measures
meaning no actual reforms.
Here is language such as we
have not heard from such a
quarter for more than a
decade:
IF our present social or
der is to endure, it must
prove itself worthy of our
toll and self-sacrifice and
of the lives of those who
have been before us. And
it must prove itself worthy
within the next few years.
That is the spirit Of the
new leadership; it is civil
lied spirit and one Of com
mon sense.

lives have become intertwined,
it is just too much trouble and
exertion to untangle them! OF
all the ties that bind, habit is
the strongest
Habit, convenience and COM
munity property are bonds be-
tween husband and wife which
will outlive the rosiest romance
and strengthen with the years.
Long after love or duty or
public opinion has ceased to
hold them, many disillusioned
pair jog along cheerfully side
by side, without quite knowing
why.
A little wire-haired terrier or
a little motor-car have held
many a man and woman to-
gether until their marriage has
jelled.
Who is going to have the
moral responsibility of deciding
which shall have the custody
of the pet Peke or the toy
Bull? No impersonal judge can
determine whether a man or
his wife is more fit to bring
up Mimi or Chou-Chou in the
way it should gos
AS for the car. A man
NEEDS a car, and a woman
just can't get along without
one. So there! The thought
of giving up the dear old linn
CUISINE has made many a
woman think twice before filing
the divorce papers. And any
humane man shudders at the
vision of turning over the help
less machine, which he has
spent so many Sunday morn
ings keeping in perfect repair,
to a woman who has no sense
when it comes to driving a car
to death and can never decide
between a ditch and a tele-
graph pole.
Then, there is the radio. A
woman needs it in the morning.

TN his article, "Your New
l. National Leadership, " in
the January Cosmopolitan,
Governor Roosevelt gives us
a Gospel of the New Ameri-
canism. By New American
ism'' I mean a mere begin
ming of the old American
ism up to date. Every
American inclined to
cynical Interpretation of the
effect of the election should
read this article. He will
find a tone and temper with
which he has not been IA
miliar for a long time. Nat
urally the future President
does not undertake to treat
all the problems in detail in
such an article. All he set
out to do, we suspect, was
to make a confession of faith
to indicate the spirit of his
approach to the problems
that. must be solved. This
he has done. It is a new
spirit, or, rather, it is the
old American spirit brought
up to date. And the central
thought in all of it is that
we must get back to the old
Jeffersonian ideals of justice
and fair play in business and
government must rid itself
of the notion, so tragically
dominant during the last
twelve years, that it has no
concern with the average
man; that a nation is a
mere aggregation of great
corporations and financial
groups; that government is
merely a subordinate agency
of these.

candidate writing of the eff
feet of the prohibitive tariffs
precisely as he did before
the election, and we find
new note here:
THE building of a higher
tariff fence about ourselves
has caused foreign retalia-
tory tariffs and prevented
even the simple exchange
and barter of goods inter
nationally. BY reciprocal
agreements with other ma
tions we shall have oppor-
tunity given to lower our
tariff fence to permit the
resumption of international
trade. The United States
can lead in outlining the
mutual restoration of trade
and thus facilitate ex-
change"
This, of course, is a de-
cided departure from the
policies of the regime soon
to pass out. It foreshadows
a more enlightened policy.
1t means action.
We have. little patience
with the ballyhoo that inter-
national trade can move
again only on condition that
we assume the debts of the
world. Tariffs, not debts,
have damned the flow of
trade.

Radical Young Men

Too many young men, when
they begin to practice their pro-
fesSions, think they must do
something to bring attention to
themselves even if they must
appear ridiculously radical.
Evidently, they work on the
principle that as long as they
remain regular exponents Of
their special line they will not
get anywhere.

me must show unusual talent.

Why Marriage "Clicks"

Why Marriage "Clicks''
The surprising thing, today,
is that in spite of modern free
dom, woman's independence
and the easy divorce laws,
most marriages DO "click," and
go right on clicking from the

holds two people together;
sometimes it is congeniality;
and sometimes it is convenience

Of Just War Debts

Of Just War Debts
And on the debts Mr..
Roosevelt. stands precisely
where he and his party
stood:
''Debts owed the United
States by foreign govern
ments must be paid. It is
sound common sense to as
sist our debtors in every
way, but there is neither
practically nor honor in
cancellation.
And then, too, he strikes
the national note Americans
insist upon, and never has
this been more necessary
than in these days when
America is being bombarded
with foreign propaganda as
never before since the days
just preceding our entrance
into the war. Thus:
1.-THE new national leader
ship will deal fairly, hon
estly and sanely with this
situation. It will remember,
however, that as society is
now organized we are di-
vided into nations and that
it is the duty of your ma
tional administration first
to consider the welfare Of
its own people" I"
That is what England is
doing, and France and Italy
why not America?
Insists on Beer
Before Repeal
Nor has Mr.. Roosevelt
changed his view with the
closing Of the polls on the
necessity of affording better
protection to honest business
against dishonest business,
and to Individual investors
in securities. He says that
domestic speculation and
stock thievery, personal and
e, must be put
down" He outlined his plan
for this in the campaign; he
relterates it now.
Nor has he weakened in
the least on the prohibition
issue. He insists that the
mandate Of the people be
carried out by initiating the
movement for the repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendment.
And more:
Pending the outcome of
this action there will be i'm
mediately put forward legis-
lation to legalize the manu-
facture and sale of beer. "
But behind all these plans
looms the really significant
thing-the presence of a
new Interpretation of the
purposes of government. 1t
is this new Interpretation
which means so much to the
great mass of men and
women.
II shall repeat many
times that I shall ceaselessly
endeavor to bring govern
ment back to a more init
mate understanding of and
relation to human problems.
This is essential, that gov
ernment may serve the basic
purpose for which it was

BLOCK EVICTION
DESPITE ARREST
Defense Attorney Also
Arrested at Trial

NEWARK, N. j., June 29.-An at
tempt to evict a Negro workers fam
lily on Saturday was stopped by the
concerted action Of white and Negro
workers of the neighborhood.
AS the workers gathered, police APP
peared and tried to make the rally
ing workers move on, but we're
bluntly told that the eviction would
not be permitted on any grounds.
When the constable came with
three workmen to remove the furni-
ture, they were surrounded, and
when told of the nature of the job
refused to go on with it. The con-
stable, seeing that he could not carry
out the eviction, nailed up the door
of the flat. A committee was at once
chosen from the assembled workers
to take the locked-out family to the
City Hall to demand redress. One
of the white workers, mounting a
stoop to ask the rally to remain until
the return of the committee, was ar
rested. Again the crowd was told to
disperse, but refused, and one Negro
worker was arrested.
The committee returned and re-
ported the city's Overseer of the Poor
had promised to take care of the
family, but not putting much faith
in such promises the workers tore out
the nails from the door and REIN
stalled the family in its home. Mon
day. when the trial of the arrested
workers took place on a charge OF
unlawful assembly, the workers SC
packed the court inside and out that
they forced the judge to postpone the
case until Thursday, thinking that
the spirit Of the workers will have
died out by then, but gathering out
side the court they promised to
bring out the whole neighborhood. .
The International Labor Defense
lawyer that came to defend the two
workers was arrested for talking to
the men and women outside the
court. He was Immediately released.

.AMTER TO SHOW
UP ROOSEVELT
Governors Relief Is
All for Railroads

NEW YORK.-The fake schemes of
the Roosevelt government for "relief''
and the real program of relief to
banks and big corporations will be
exposed by Israel Amter, Communist
candidate for governor of New York,
in an address tonight at pm. in
westminster Workers Center, 81 Hud-
son Street, Yonkers.
The New York Central Railway
one of the wealthiest corporations in
the United States, was given relief
to the extent of $13 100000 by Re
construction Finance Corporation, &C
cording to an announcement yester-
day. This was the total amount they
asked for. They got it because the
government appropriation for relief
to banks and corporations was set up
for this purpose, by the banker and
corporation control of the govern
ment and treasury.
On the other hand, Roosevelt re-
Gently announced approval of an ap-
preparation of $6,546,784 for relief
to the unemployed of the state -
through forced labor. While the ap-
preparation for relief to financial in
situations (more than two billion dol
lars) was carefully planned to be
elastic enough to take care of any
demands they might make, the New
York state relief for the unemployed
provides a maximum of two dollars
each for the two and half million
unemployed of the state, and has no
relation to the needs or demands Of
the workers.
There is no provision for stretch
ing. Only mass demand can push
the relief" beyond the narrow limits
of a two-dollar bill.

Explains Curtis Lies
AS Itch for Money

PENNINGTON, N. j., June 49,
John H. Curtis, Norfolk ship builder,
never knew the kidnappers of the
Lindbergh baby and the stories he
told were all a bunch of lies, Lind
bergh testified during his cross-exam-
nation at the second day of the trial
here of Curtis on the charge of "ob-
structing justice"
The reason Curtis told these lies,
Lindbergh said, was that he hoped to
sell a story to the newspapers. Capt.
talist greed, that seeks profits every
where, and the vogue established by
capitalist newspapers of financing
scandal mongers and notoriety seek
ers, were the theme of todays testi-
mony
