BIG JOB BEFORE CONGRESS

COMMITTEE leaders in house and senate,
~ according to advces from Washington,
are getting busy in preparation for the work
they will have to do when the next session
of congress opens in January.
In spite of the tremendous accomplish
ments of the last session, there inevitably will
be an abundance of work for the next one,
and it is encouraging to see that preparations
already are being made for it,
1t already is apparent, for example, that
the taxation system will have to be revised
extensively 1t ought to be possible for this
government to find a way of collecting taxes
from such men as Messrs Mitchell, Morgan,
Kahn, ct al, and the job of doing it hardly
can be left until the session opens.
A lot of good hard spade work this sum-
mer will make things go lot more smoothly
and efficiently when January comes around.

WHY FARLEY PROVED FUTILE

THE break in the London economic con-
u ference seems to have come chiefly be-
cause of a general recognition that no very
genuine cooperation is possible between
nation which is following definite policy and
nations which are drifting.
Back of President Roosevelt's flat refusal
to consider currency sterilization at this time
is one fact that can not be overlooked
The United States has thought out and
adopted a very clear-cut and far-reaching
domestic program. 1t intends to raise prices
control production. boost wages, and decrease
unemployment. and it proposes TO do these
things by means of certain concrete actions
The other nations at the conference.-the
the exception Of Russia, which is in a class
by itseh-have no such program. They seem
70 be committed to policy Of watchful wait
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-07-10

ing, and at times they have a striking re-
semblance to Mr.. Micawber being hopeful that
something will turn up.
That being the case, how can we logically
expect that this nation easily can find COM
mon program of concerted action with the
others?
Furthermore, for what reason does the
chief responsibility for finding such program
rest upon the rulers of this nation?
The United States at least has made a de-
termined and heroic effort to put its own
house in order, 1t has embarked on ire
mendous experiment, and while we have no
guarantee today that the experiment will not
fail, at least the country has had the courage
and the vitality to make it.
Right or wrong, win or lose, the nation
has quit the policy of drift.
There is no reason why this country should
run the risk of running that experiment before
it gets we'll under way, simply to arrive at
currency sterilization agreements with nations
which have yet to enunciate a clear policy of
their own.
Correspondents at London are reporting
that the European statesmen are saying many
harsh things about us these days because we
have wrecked" the conference
That, of course, is too bad But considering
the fact that that has been one of the chief
diversions of European statesmen ever since
the war, Americans probably will be able to
bear up under it.
And it is a trife difficult to see why the
ultimate responsibility for lack OF accom-
plishment at London rests with us.

1t is evident that one of the
favorite indoor sports of our high
up financial intelligents and their

Mr.. Morgan, our most, distin-

tax in England.
Mr.. Mitchell, head of one of the
greatest banks of our biggest city,
avoids tax by selling his wife stocks
at a loss.

clusively that the chlorination of the
water is not adequate to kill the
organism of ringworm between the
toes, at least during a thirty
minute swimming period.
The spread of ring worm now is
so wide that every possible effort
should be made to control it. 1t is
well established that the use of the
stronger chemicals mentioned
namely, sodium thiosulphate, and
sodium hypochlorite, applied in the
manner suggested-actually will kill
the organisms with which they come
in contact.

physician be consulted, as he may

1t Seems Long Ago

DURING the darkest days every
~ body agreed that it never
should happen again and that it
never could. Unbridled speculation
and greed we're blamed for the
plight Of the country. In the pip
ing days of the boom, much that
went on in Wall Street was sheer
gambling. Even the players them
selves we're willing to admit, after
they had been sold out, that perhaps
they were little reckless.
But the boys are edging back to
the table again. Occasionally they
seem a little furtive as they shyly
ask for Just one stack of chips for
the fun of it" Give them another
month of bullish activities and they
will be drawing to three fIushes and
inside straights all over again.
Man is not evil, but he is power
fully foolish. He needs a lot less vel
vet and far more of the iron Of
compulsion.

|M.E.TracySays

d ECOGNITION of Russia is inevitable, be-
IN cause non-recognition does no good, because
it has accomplished nothing except to lose us a
few trade advantages.
Trade advantages do not constitute the most
important consideration. The question of what
is fair counts for more than what we can make.
What is fair usually can be depended on to
guarantee us such trade advantages as we de-
serve.
For fifteen years we have been telling our
selves that non-recognition of Russia not only
was, but would achieve something or other.
Exactly what that something or other was we
are not sure. Indeed, we were not sure of what
we wanted much less what we could do through
ncnrecognitiOn.
Our official attitude toward Russia has been
largely the by-product of private prejudice. AS
a nation, we have had little to quarrel about
with the Soviet, except at the very beginning,
when there was some ground for suSpecting that
Soviet authorities lent moral support to political
and economic disturbances
Outside of a prejudiced few, that suspicion
no longer is entertained. Still we continue the
policy Of nonrecognition.
WE never have stated our reasons for pur-
w suing that policy in a definite way The
Russians do not know what would be required
to change it. 1t is doubtful whether we know
OURSELVES. IL Is dIulOSI CeIGdlu INdC we SQall
change it without the Russians doing much of
anything.
The policy we have pursued toward Russia is
much like that we pursued toward Mexico dur
ing the Huerta revolution. We had "a definite
day Of reckoning in mind, but it never came to
pass. We captured Vera Cruz and forced Huerta
out Of Mexico, but only to prolong the period of
revolution by ten or a dozen years.
We sent an expedition to capture Villa, but
only to give up and let him escape. Our ideals
may have been sound in theory, but they were
not sound enough for us to stay with them in
practice.
Back of our nonrecognition of Russia, there
may be genuine desire to do something worth
while but the vast majority of people have yet
to discover what it is, or how it could be
accomplished by the methods we are pursuing.
THE fact that we disagree with the principles
Il of Communism has nothing to do with it.
We disagree with the principles of Fascism and
monarchy but recognize Italy and Japan.
If debt reputation has caused us to turn a
treat a whole lot Of other nations the same way.
We won't do that. and every one knows it.
We have singled out Russia as a target chiefly
because We imagined her form of government
would fail
Imagination has played too big part in the
formulation OF our foreign policy during the last
twenty years. If we had known what we know
now, we would have done lot of things differ
emily The moral Of it is to trust realities rather
than predictions.

being raised to float the recovery public build
ing program by special taxes, which will be
lifted when repeal becomes effective and the
government can tax liquor The income from
liquor tax is estimated at $6O0,OO0,OOO and up.
In addition to the financial stake at issue
in the repeal vote, there also is the chaos and
. progressive breakdown Of law enforcement
with repeal just around the corner.
If repeal is not achieved in 1888, the fault
will be largely with certain Democratic Gov
errors and legislatures, who deliberately are
delaying a vote, or otherwise knitting the re-
peal movement.
President Roosevelt knows this He said
virtually as much in his telegram to the DEM
ocratic national committeeman from Alabama
BY mentioning Tennessee, Arkansas, Ken
lucky "and Others and then making public
his appeal, the President is warning his fellow
Democratic officials of their responsibility for
prompt repea! under the Democratic platform.
He said:
81 think I have made it abundantly clear
that the platform of the Democratic party
adopted last year should be carried out inSo-
far as it lies in our power"
With the White House and the Democratic
national committee actively pressing the fight,
the prospect of ratification this year by the
necessary thirty-six states is much brighter.

Ringworm Control Is Swimming Problem

TINE control of ringworm infec-
L ton of the feet, particularly
between the toes, becomes an i'm
portant problem in the summer,
because of the frequent use of
the swimming pool.
Long ago it was established that
regular bathing Of the feet in 10
to Is per cent sodium thiosulphate
solutions or a concentration Of one
tenth Of, per cent of sodium
hypochlorite would destroy the
parasite which causes ringworm.
Investigators at the University
of Pennsylvania recently sought to
find out whether the use Of chlor-
inc in swimming pools would de-
stroy ringWorm infection.
Of course, this would be an ex-
ceedingly valuable procedure, since
most swimming pools are chlnr-
mated anyway, and since it would
make possible the elimination Of
the specially medicated footbath.

DR.. Dorothy Spring examined
scrapings from the feet which were
soaked in water from a swimming
pool. These scrapings were tested
after thirty minutes in the water,
after one hour, and after an hour
and a half.
There seems to be evidence that
the chlorination of swimming pools
will destroy any organisms that be-
come detached from the body.
However, the human toes are so
close together that it is exceedingly
difficult to get between the toes
and to stay there long enough dur

make certain that it will destroy
ringworm.

THE only really honest way for
L divorce is the way OF mutual
consent. Yet in states where the
method is barred legally, we find
many of the clergy opposed to it.
This should not surprise us, how
ever, since church organizations
commonly are addicted to fitting the
human being to the rule, rather
than rule to the human being.

upon the principle that infidelity is
the only cause for divorce. And
