Welcome Planners
Important Groups Here

The meeting in Washington this week of the Bcentennia
Conference Planning Parks and Government brings this
city the most important groups participating in local civic
affairs
is meeting which will doubt have important bearing
upon conditions in municipalities throughout the country
Until few years ago the average citizen looked askance
such matters city planning community Identification and

They regarded ideals which would interfere with the
bread and butter affairs of everyday life
Now however, the sentiment has changed.
It is seen that city planning and similar activities instead of
cutting the productivity of community enable it to
function efficiently and for the greater general good
AS long those interested in this phase of activity keep

Once you probably thought
that jazz would never be &C
copied as music; that sex"
and "sex-appear" would never
be discussed outside of the
smoking car; and that woman
would never cut off her Grown
ing glory" or wear pants. Oh,
you DID, did you? So did L!
It is true that prohibition
and Sex-appeal have become
the great national jokes. But
that is the way with every
thing. First, it is shocking;
then it is a menace; then, it
becomes moral issue; then,
a popular CRAzE-and finally,
a joke!
Grandmother never heard of
sex" or "Se x attraction"
Mother spoke. of it only in a
whisper and with blush.
Daughter came out flatly and
took it up in a serious way.
Now, Little Sister smokers at it.
For a while, "sex-appear' was
the Big Motif of every popular
novel, play, and Song-and
most of the afterdinner stories.
Now, the mere mention of it
makes us yawn. Even the
crooners sing about moons"
and "JuneS" and stick to ro-
nance and undying love.

Forgotten Men"
Tender Ovation

Meanwhile, as Mr.. Hoover
was writing the misrepresen-
tation of Jack Garner, the
latter and Mr.. Roosevelt
were receiving a remarkable
ovation from the "forgotten
men" in Kansas. There
were representatives of the
thirty million farmers-who
have been forgotten" in
Government almost cOntinu-
ously since 1865. In his
speech Roosevelt put his
finger on the explanation
for the ruin of the industry
of agriculture-it has been
either ignored or discriml-
mated against in legislation
and administration. Mean
while other elements have
been built up by the favor
of Government; and the
problem now is how to meet
the necessary demands Of
agriculture without inter
fering with the whole arti-
fically built economic struc-
ture.
One thing is now clear
there can be no real pros
perity in America until the
basic industry of agriculture,
representing at least a fourth
of the population, has been
restored to the purchasing
class. The last three adj
miniStrations have been
either hostile to all attempts
or pitifully inept in their
methods-fOr the position Of
the farmer has been growing
worse and worse

N1 statement regarding the
veterans bonus which is but
a reiteration, and is, mani
testify, openly a campaign
document in which he re-
sorts to a deliberate and UNI
pardonable misrepresentation
aimed at an opponent. We
previously have commented
on the evident hope of the
Hoover High Command to
continue in power through
the liberal use of falsehoods
that were so effective in
1928. Not a member Of the
Cabinet, meandering over
the country campaigning
when his time would be bet
ter spent on his job, but has
misstated facts with a SNUG
cOmplacency that could only
have come from the expert
ence of four years ago. But
the majority of the Cabinet
are not among the impress
Sivn leaders in American life.
1t is a more serious matter
when the President, himself,
above his signature, deliber-
ately misrepresentS a fact.
When Mr.. Hoover says
that the bonus bill that
passed the last session of
Congress passed "under the
leadership Of the vice presi-
dental candidate,'' he takes
liberties with the truth, and
he does it deliberately and
with full knowledge. He
refers to the fact that Mr..
Garner permitted a vote on
the bonus; and deliberately
withholds the essential fact
that under the rule agreed
to, both by Republicans and
Democrats, he could not
have prevented a vote if he
had wished. This rule pro-
vided for the discharge of
the committee on the de-.
mand of a stipulated number
of members.
Lying about Jack Garner
is part of the major program
of the Administration, but
it is to be hoped that this
will be left to the general
staff, to the solutions and
the cooks, and not acted
upon by the commanding
general who will continue in
the presidency until next
March,

Real Situation
Long Concealed

If it was not cowardice
and hysteria that turned
the bayonets against the
defenders of the Republic,
it was something worse-a
bitter resentment of the
fact that the presence of
thousands of men, denied
their right to work, adver-
tised the human misery I'M
der the Administration. For
two years Mr.. Hoover mis-
represented the number of
the jobless; for two years
his subordinates juggled the
figures to deceive the
American people. For three
years the Administration
impatiently and contemptu-
ousIy brushed aside pro-
grams of public constlHc-
ton to give these men werk.
And now their protests
against neglect are to be
met with the charge that
they are terminals" and
"bums" and "vagabonds"
and Communists" and
some have been disfranchised
because to save themselves
and families from starvation
they have been compelled to
accept the bounty Of a
county or a municipality.
Thus we have illustrated
in many ways the attitude
of the regime in power
toward the great mass of the
people - the "forgotten
men,"

MARRY-GO-ROUND

Only the torch singers con-

walls for torrid love and burn
ing kisses. Ho-hum!
After 10 years of concentrating
on the sex-motif, clarifying it,
preaching against it, eXcoriat-
ing it, magnifying it, we have
discarded it like an old last
years beach hat. Among the
sophisticated it is way back
in the class with sheiks, vamps,
the tango and the banana
song!
But it has left the torch
singer and the backlesS bathing
suit. And even though prohibit
ton may pass away, it will
leave us a legacy of ruined
stomachs, acidosis and hard
drinkers. These things always
leave something in their wake.

Called Crime"
Of Cowardice

Vilifying Garner with
plain falsehoods cannot di-
vert attention from the crime
of July % for which Herbert
Hoover bears a direct re-
sponsibility. Millions OPP
posed to the immediate pay
ment Of the bonus, but SYM
pathetic, and not contemptu-
Gus toward veterans who are
out Of jobs, were shocked
when, at the instance of the
Administration, the Army
was ordered into Washing
ton; the civil authority and
the police, who had been
handling the situation per-
fectly, were brushed aside,
and men, who had fought for
their country, were driven
out by tanks and bayonets
and their miserable shacks
were fired. That was a
shocking thing; so shocking
that the only explanation is
that the crime was inspired
by cowardice, or by an auto
cratic and tyrannical mind.
That was shocking enough,
in all conscience.
But more shocking still
was the use of the highest
law officer of the Nation,
who prostituted his official
position, and degraded his
professional standing at the
instance of Herbert Hoover
to attempt to smear men who
fought for their country,
while others were profiteer-
ing on their country's neces-
stiles, with the epithets of
terminals" and "bums. "
The reaction Of decency
to that charge and that act
has not been encouraging;
that was bad enough.
