Tor the Federal Relief Administration
Following the session. Johnstone said
no final decisions had been reached,

tne present available funds. He said
yesterday he felt $4,000 would not
be too much for relief purposes during
the current fiscal year. Congress has

Seven Colored Clergymen
Carry Sermons to By

Taking the oft-qucted line anent
Mahomet and the mountain as their
maxim, seven colored pastors have been

Folks have stopped coming t.

pastor Of First Baptist Church, Sixth

to carry the gospel to them"
Every night, the clergyman said, he
and the other pastors meet in Mount
Moriah Baptist Church, Third and X
streets southwest. Then, after brie1
get-together, they separate and &c
through the streets and alleys, preach
ing and singing. Usually, an eight
piece band accompanies one OF the
ministers.
I'VE started last Monday night" Mr.
Marshall said, "and we've been quite
successful. People sit en- their door
steps and along the curbs and listen
to us, and they sing with us, too. It's
better than letting them sit around and
play cards, shoot craps and the like
When the mountain wouldn't come to
Mahomet, he went to the mountain
and that's just what we're doing"
The permit for the street preaching
expires tonight, but Mr.. Marshall said
he and the other preachers are con-

cratic National Committee, declared in
a brief address at the opening ses-
sion of the National Committee Of

Urging the alliance Of "as many girls
as possible" with the Young Demo-
cratic Clubs, Mr.. Farley declared the
Democratic party long had advocated
active participation OF women in
politics and he asserted that the pres
further than that by naming women to
high offices in the Government. Citing
Secretary Of Labor Frances Perkins
and Mrs. Nellie Ross. director Of the
Mint, Who, with others, he said are
doing their jobs "as well as any man
could" Mr.. Farley said:
I'VE are going to see to II that
many other women are appointed to
responsible positions In the Govern
ment. not because they are women,
but because they are Democrats cap
able of filling these positions"
President Roosevelt sent the young
Democratic leaders a message in which
he expressed dependence upon the
drive for national recovery.
When you return to your home
States" Mr.. Roosevelt's message, as it
way read by Richard Roper. executive
secretary of the National Democratic
Committee, urged, Il hope that you
will tell your friends that I am depend
ing heavily on the youth of America
to help in our great drive for national
recovery"
The Presidents message explained
that while he was anxious ito meet and
talk with each one Of you personally" d"
the press Of business just before his de-
parture for Hyde Park made that i'm

tinued success. Continuing, he said he
had heard in the course Of his career a
great deal of criticism Of political
bosses"
But I like political BOSSES Senator
McAdoo said. when they are of the
right sort. The right sort of political
boss works for the public interest and
not for private interests. And that's
what like about Jim Farley as q
political boss; he works for the public
interest and not for private interests"

THE VALUE OF FAIRGROUNDS

A BULLETIN from the National Recrea-
- tional Association hammers anew on
point which requires especial emphasis in
time of depression-that lack of public funds
must not be permitted to cut down the recre-
ational facilities available to children.
To begin, the bulletin points out that
children must, and will, play Not only their
happiness, but their health and character, are
bound up in their play.
Under modern urban conditions, the public
has to make provisions for Fairgrounds If
it fails, children are cheated of their rightful
heritage.
In addition, public expenditures on play
grounds are connected directly with expendi-
lures on jails, juvenile courts prisons and the
like. If we skimp on our playground expendi-
lures now, we shall pay double, in less pleas
ant ways, little later on.

We Must Build Up Our Navy
An Editorial

Instead of this method Fastening diSarna-
ment and the substitution of effective peace
machinery for war preparation, it actually has
encouraged Japan and others to take the
opposite course.
Very well. Our method having failed, we
must, as realists, try the other method. The
other method is to meet them on their own
self imposed terms of preparedness When
the world sees that the United States is rich
enough and strong enough to play the pre-
paredness game, perhaps then the other
powers will be glad to bargain for disarma-
ment and real peace treaties.
That was the costly, but effective, method
by which we achieved the Washington naval
treaty-the only effective arms limitation to
date.
1t is important, however that the American
government, in being forced into it's new naval
building program, make clear to our own
citizens and to the world that only our method
temporarily is changed; that our end remains
the same.
Our purpose is a warless world For idealist
reasons, yes. But also for practical reasons.
War does not pay. All lose by war.
The practicability of peace has not been
diSproved by the tragic drift toward force
The great world powers merely have proved
their temporary inability or unwillingness to
cooperate for peace.
We dare believe that this epidemic of mill
tariSm and supernationaIism is temporary.
When Japan and the other world powers no
longer misunderstood our anti-war and dis
armament program as an evidence of weak
ness, the enduring American peace policy can
be advanced with more hope of success

THAT sMITH-ROOSEVELT SPLIT

DEVELOPMENTS following logically from
~ the administrations recovery program
are providing an interesting sidelight on one
of the most perplexing features of the 1882
presidential campaign.
One of the high spots of that campaign
was the apparent GOODNESS between Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Alfred E. Smith
The two had been comrades in arms for
years; furthermore, they evidently had been
fairly close friends, as we'll. Roosevelt twice
had put Smith in nomination for the preSi-
dency Smith had turned over his job at AL
bany to Roosevelt
But 1882 brought a break. Roosevelt spoke
of the forgotten man and Smith promised to
take off his coat and fight all demagogues.
The Chicago convention flag left scar
that refused to heal. Not until late in the
campaign was there a reconciliation, staged
amid the fioodlights; and even then hints of
soreness persisted.
Gossip had it that the rift was personal.
Roosevelt was accused of having gone high
hat; Smith, of nursing wounded vanity. Now,
however, the basic difficulty becomes fairly
clear.
Smiths recent editorial in the outlook re-
veals that the gulf between himself and the
President is almost as wide, fundamentally, as
that between the President and eX-President
Hoover.
The recovery act, says Smith, will Grip
pie initiative, legalize monopoly raise prices
and require higher tariffs 1t goes beyond
anything my imagination can follow" The
common man is likely to get lost in the shut
fe" We are apt to sell our American birth
right for a mess of Communistic pottage."
These comments show that the rift of a
year ago was based on something deeper than
personal pique. Roosevelt had one political
philosophy; Smith has one almost diametri-
cally opposed to it.
Both used to be claSsed as liberals. Roose-
Welt has taken the utra-modern fork in the
road and has gone on to evolve a new theory
of democracy; Smith has chung to the tradi-
tional conception of democracy and has veered
steadily toward conservatism.
1t is not likely that we ever again shall see
these two men in the same camp The cleav-
age between them is too deep and wide.
That editorial in the Outlook reveals a
basic disagreement too profound to be over
come
