Bonus Camps Constitute
A National Disgrace

To the Editor of The Star:
The attack of Representative Arthur
M. Free of California in his Independ
ence day address on the so-called
bonus army" was most appropriate
and is deserving of the highest praise
by every law-abiding citizen of this
community. 1t is high time for the
people of Washington to protest against
local situation that is making us the
laughing stock of the world. No other
civilized country would tolerate such a
condition, which no one seems to have
the courage to remedy. Mob rule seems
to be the order Of the day, instead of
good municipal or Federal government.
A number Of these undesirable citizens
are now camping on a vacant lot ad-
joining the Botanic Gardens on our
principal thoroughfare, Pennsylvania
avenue, block from the United States
Capitol. This disgraceful scene is going
on without any interference by the local
authorities. The entire Nation is en-
titled to Federal relief, and not single
group in these distressing times

World Flyers Found in Russia,

A so-called round-world flight has
failed in the second stage, fortunately
without the loss Of the lives of the
airmen who sought to establish a record
of speed in a circuit about the northern
quarter Of the globe. 'Griffen and
Mattern, after remarkably fast fight
from New York to Berlin. took off from
that city Wednesday night for Moscow.
Somehow they went off their course
after passing warsaw and, in effect
losing their way, they mistook the lights
Of the small town of Borisov, not far
over the Russian boundary, for their
objective and landed. their plane being
wrecked in a peat bog and they receiv-
ing slight injuries The flight, Of course
is abandoned. II is indicated in the
dispatches that the loss OF route was
due to the faulty operation of the
controls of the plane.
While these daring adventures in fly
ing for records do not in themselves
promote aviation materially and cost
seriously in lives. they will probably not
be discontinued. The rewards for sue
cess are sufficient to give impetus to
the enterprise of trying to make records.
There is definite lure, also, in the
hazard of the undertaking. With every
attempt at globe circling flying-as this
may be styled even though the course
lies around the short northern route
something is gained in knowledge Of
terrain and Of plane management. Con-
stantly provisions are being perfected
for the landing Of planes in areas here

Back to the Land Cure
For Economic Distress

To the Editor of The Star:
Many lines have been written con-
cerning the present depression. its
causes and possible remedies. I be-
lieye a return to rural districts Of q
large number of the now unemployed
would be a great step forward. This
thought is not based upon the theory of
having the commercial farming business
greatly augmented. because there al
ready appears to be an overSupply Of
farm products. but as a means of pro-
viding for many of the present unem-
ployed an adequate, honest living. My
thought has been to have this oppor-
tunity extended principally to families
who have had farm experience. On
many abandoned farms there is al
ready shelter for man and beast. Neces-
sary repairs and improvements could be
made to provide employment for the
prospective occupant as well as others
A marcel of 10 or more acres when
properly cultivated would provide ample
food for a family The very low prices
now being paid for COWS, hogs, sheep,
chickens. eggs, etc, would suggest that
they might be better used for stocking
small home areas. This stocking, with
the necessary feed might in many cases
be done on a cooperative basis, the
newcomer to repay in kind when his
increase would warrant or in labor
during busy periods. Farm machinery
dealers have been generous in placing
equipment on credit.
Because of the efficiency of the pres
ent machine age. some of our eminent
economists predict that we will never
again see the time when all of our
workers will be regularly employed. If
this proves to be true, then we are
to have large percentage of our popu-
lation who can expect merely rea
sonable living, and the small farm area
seems to offer that living with greater
assurance than any other.
I believe areas nearer to the cities
and manufacturing places should be
utilized first, so that If the time should
come when it would seem desirable, be-
cause of boom period, for the male
of the family to return to his manu-
featuring activity he might commute
and retain his. home and garden for
the time when the manufacturer would
no longer need his services.
few years ago, when work was
plentiful and wages high, such a plan
of living would appeal to only few.
but after several years of hardship and
suffering, and the fundamental ques-
ton OF getting living becomes para
mount, I know of many who would
gladly consider such an opportunity.
Organization and some financing would
be necessary in any such revamping of
our economic structure. There are
public-spirited citizens in every COM
munity, who could be formed into COM
mittees, who would gladly give of their
time and crops to get such plan start
ed for the purpose suggested. Such a
movement would give an impetus to
many lines of business. However, the
major advantage would be the CONVEX
sion Of growing mass of weary, dis
couraged and discontended people, now
in a mood to listen to un-American
ideas. into a group of constant pro-
ducers scattered throughout the land.
where they would soon become assimi-
lated and MADE part of our stanch
and dependable rural population.

Baldwin,s statement reiterates the fa-
miliar British contention in favor Of
%, ,000-ton battleships and 7,000-ton
cruisers, along with other plans for cur
failing the size Of individual feet units.
The United States Navy adheres to its
belief In 35,000-ton battleships and
1o,00o-ton cruisers, mainly because OF
the larger cruising radius which vessels
of such size have. The British Navy,
with naval bases throughout the seven
seas, including the Western Hemisphere
and American waters, does not need
large-radius warships to the extent that
the American fleet. with relatively few
overseas bases, requires them. Our
naval representatives at Geneva. when
they heard of the Baldwin proposals,
graphically pilloried them as merely
renewal of the ten-year-old controversy
in which the British have sought, by
reducing the size of our ships, to keep
the American Navy in home waters"
President Hoover proposed fiat, hor-
izontal slash of one third in ornaments
of all kinds. On its face, that is
proposition which. if accepted. would
leave each power in the world relative
ly, and as compared to its respective
neighbors, as strong as it is today. 1t
is evident. from Mr.. Baldwin's naval
suggestions. that so apparently simple
program cannot be carried through. If
Britain insists upon the specific figures
and plans just laid before the House of
Commons, we are on the threshold of
another and internlinable naval tech
nical debate, which augurs Ill for any
early disarmament prospects. Perhaps
that is the underlying purpose Of the

bill" Taft. Taft means well, feebly,"
the colonel remarked. The impression
prevails that AIS support" of Gov.
Roosevelt may turn out to be bit
feeble, too.
Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Of Ari-
zona, called attention during the i'm
mediate beer" debate in the Senate
yesterday to the familiar practice Of
reading newspaper editorials into the
Congressional Record He claimed to
be the only member Of the Senate who
makes a habit of submitting such
publications for the Record, whether
they're favorable or unfavorable to him
or the causes he espouses. Ashurst
charged his colleagues with a weakness
for asking leave TO print cnly sweet
smelling bouquets about themselves or
their legislative hobbies.
It's to be duel between Charlie
Nicholson, Democratic publicity direc-
tor, and former Governor and Senator
Henry J. Allen of Kansas, Republican
publicity director, in this 1882 year
of grace. Allen functioned in the same
capacity in 1928. Nicholson did not
clear for action until the Democrats
came up for air in 1929. Since then
he has done the finest job in the his
tory of political ballyhoo. He will find
a worthy and resourceful foeman in
the former Kansas editor and states
man. Allen was on scout duty at the
Democratic convention and says he
picked up some useful ideas. Both
national committees will use radio to
the extent that their somewhat limited
exchequers permit Paul Gascoigne,
veteran telephone and broadcasting ex
pert, will, as in 1923, have charge of
radio publicity for the G. o. P.

And wonder how you have the nerve!

And happiness is still your law.

Beneath the rainbow's radiant curve,
And to all sorrow bid farewell
