THE ROOSEVELT DOCTRINE

THE Presidents address to the Woodrow
= Wilson foundation last night was the
most important statement he has made on
foreign policy. IL was courageous and frank
Indeed it might have been even more specific
concerning the grave danger of war in Europe
and in the far east
But foreign governments will have no diff
Guilty in reading between the lines that the
United States has no intention Of participant
ing in the planning or the fighting of these
threatened wars abroad. His denuncation of
so-called statesmen abroad who wrote the
war-breeding Versailles treaties who have
misused the League of Nations for selfish
ends, and who today block world accord on
nonaggression and disarmament, was just and
effective.
Asserting that at least 80 per cent of the
peoples of the world are ready to go along
with the avowed American policy of non
aggression. noninvasion and disarmament by
joint agreement, he added:
Back of the threat to world peace lies the
fear and perhaps even the possibility that the
other 10 per cent of the people Of the world
may go along with leadership which seeks
territorial expansion at the expense of neigh
bors and which under various pleas in avoid
ance are unwilling to reduce armament or stop
rearmament even If everybody else agrees to
nonaggression and to arms reduction.
THE political leaders of many of these
peoples interpose and will interpose argument,
excuse, befogging amendment-yes, and even
ridicule but I tell them that the men and
women they serve are so far in advance Of
that type of leadership that we could get a
world accord on world peace Immediately if
the people of the world spoke for themselves"
In this the President used the Wilson
method of appealing in a crisis to the peace
loving peoples of the world over the heads of
their laundering or war-mongering govern
nents.
The curse of hypocrisy in such an appeal
was removed by the President in his confess
sion that our own hands have not been clean
in Latin America, and that hereafter we shall
not be guilty of armed intervention and i'm
peralsm. Even if it becomes a question of
police power to protect the peace of this con-
tinent, we shall not, as under the past mis-
Interpretation of the Monroe doctrine, take
1t as our responsibility alone, but as a joint
responsibility with others. This is the Roose-
welt doctrine
ut is only If and when the failure of or
derby processes affects the other nations of
the continent that it becomes their concern;
and the point to stress is that in such an
event it becomes the joint concern of whole
continent in which we are all neighbors."
Only as we keep our own hands clean of
Imperialism on this continent dare we con-
denim the imperialism of Japan, Great
Britain, France and italy Hitlers German
insanity, and the wars now breeding in that
foreign selishneSs.

as somewhat of a shock to millions of new
readers.
For it reveals the discouraging fact that the
banking ills from which America has suffered
so heavily within the last few years were all
recognized, appreciated and warned against
twenty years ago.
Just as the so-called Morgan hearings" of
today revealed the vast ramifications of the
holdings and powers of few investment
bankers so did the famous Pujo investigation
of two decades ago reveal the same evils
At that time Justice Brandeis summarized
the findings and pointed the morals to be
found in that hearing, in a prophetic volume
which, had it been productive of legislation,
might have prevented much of the suffering
recently inflicted upon our country by bank
failures
Every person who has suffered from bad
banking or who has an interest in recovery
which should include practically everybody
will find Justice Brandeis' book both interest
ing and profitable.

A Woman's Viewpoint

A GOOD many girls seem to
IA think I have gone back on
them. And are they angry about
the letter appearing here recently
which was written by the young
man who doesn't care for the mod
ern feminist? 1 should say they
are. His ears must be flaming.
They resent his charges; they
hate his smugness; they despise his
high-handed attitude, and secretly.
I imagine, each would like to marry
him.
That my sympathies in the con-
troversy are with the girls goes
without saying. With few excep-
tons the younger women in this
country are splendid, efficient. de-
pendable and lovable. Most Of them
only ask few breaks in life. They

ter than himself. We like adora-
ton mixed with passion and always
will. And is it not the highest quail
ity Of any emotion that is worthy to
be called by the name of love?
The physical alone does not sat-
lsfy mortal longings. Neither do
men and women stand upon a dead
level with each other, no matter how
vociferous we may become about
equality
This is why I regard the break
ing down Of all barriers between the
sexes as a distinct calamity for
both. And women would forfeit far
more than they ever could gain
Moreover, If, as we say, love is I'M

that a few romantic young men still

THE PLEDGE OF PEACE

TT isn't always easy to figure out just what
L is going on at the Pan-American Confer
ence at Montevideo; but in at least one re-
spect Secretary Hull seems to have paved the
way for better and healthier understanding
between the United States and the nations of
Latin-America.
BY giving his governments pledge that
hereafter no Latin-American nation need
fear intervention by the United States, Mr..
HUI has struck boldly at the greatest OBJ

DUT beneath the angry retorts
ID and in spite Of the excellent de-
lenses. the letters of most Of the
girls carry a subtle message, one
which few of them meant to convey.
Even against their will they have
written between the lines their joy
in the fact that men wish to regard
women as beings made Of finer fiber
than themselves.

Reduce Those Light Rates!
"A Staten ent-

ed Mr.. Minton and the public service COM
mission spent two months conducting their
own investigation through New York firm
Of utility accountants which is known through
out the country for its efficiency and honesty
Today, after the most careful study, they
acted In calling upon the power company to
show cause why the commission should not
order a rate reduction, the commission stated
fatty that the rates now charged are unfair,
unjust and unreasonable" 1t further charged
that the indianapolis Power and Light Com
pany had, without justification, added s24-
100000 for rate-making purposes to its valua-
tion-this out of a total valuation claimed of
SIS, 100000.
If this is true-and The Times believes it
is-electric rates should come down at once
That excess valuation, if amputated, would
save consumers many thousands Of dollars in
coming months.
The commission and Mr.. Minton deserve
every credit for the manner in which they
have handled the indianapolis Power and
Light Company matter. They have sought no
political advantage and they have stirred up
no ballyhoo. They simply went to work quiet
ly and when they were ready they acted for
the citizens of Indianapolis.
What The Times wants is not a series of
sensational news stories, but a real rate re-
duction for this community. And it looks as
though there were now a chance of getting it,

I might add also that if Mr.. Mil

it seems to me that newspaper

BY a Times Reader.
The government has approx
mately 500 men from Marion
county, who are engaged in work
ing on the Monroe county forest
preserve, south of Martlnsville.
Each man on this project is up at
4:30 a. m. every day in the week
except Saturday. The buses leave
some days bewteen 5 80 and 6, other
days at 6 to $50, to enable us to get
on the job at 8. To earn six hours
work, we put in thirteen hours time.
The distance we travel is eighty
eight miles a day. We are happy
and glad that we are working and
do not mind putting in the time.
Every man is a hard, conscientious
worker.
On Tuesday of this week we ar
rived on the job and it was raining
The roads and the rock quarries
were muddy and it made working
impossible. We sat in our buses till
10, when it started to rain steadily
Mr.. Murphy, our construction fore
man from Indianapolis, and by the
came to the buses and ordered us
out in the rain to work. If we were
equipped like the G. C. G. boys with
clothes for such weather we would
not have protested. Out of nearly
$50 men, more than 200 stayed in
the buses, for Mr. Murphy decreed
work in the rain and mud, or stay
IN O.QO ~
the afternoon. Those who worked,
half of them were soaked, and one
man was confined at home next day
with temperature of 102. Now we
will not get paid for that day and
God knows the men need that SO.
On top of that, it is a Christmas
pay. They will not let us make up
the time and our plea is give us
square deal, you statehouse politi-
clans, for in 1886 we vote again, and
we will see that McNutt and his
clan are out forever. Our praise for
the government men who have
charge of the actual work being
done on our project is that We have
never met finer men than they, but
as to Mr.. Murphy and his straw
boss politicians out of the state
houSe-phooey.
Please print as much as you can
of this letter. Also we have a petit
ton with almost $50 names of the
men who we're given this dirty deal,
and will testify as to the assertions
made by this writer.

Seems Fair

By a Times Reader.
I am a devoted reader of The
Times, SO please print this:
I read what some one wrote
about the NRA and Indianapolis
railways.
Any street car man who wants
work can earn more than SIS a
week. Some only want to work
on certain lines and certain
hours. Those street car men who
had their hours cut were making
more than $40 every two weeks.
Some men want all the work
while other have none.
I am a street car man and I
know Mr.. Chase has done more
for our company than any one
else in several years. Can any
one tell me where other men who
have no trade are making 81
cents an hour? I give two days
a week to the extra man, and
I'm glad to give it. If every one
of us would cooperate I'm sure
Mr.. Chase and the Indianapolis
Railways always would give en-
ployes justice. Before the NRA
some men would work four and
five months without giving the
extra man a days work. Now
they must give up one day a
week and the extra man who
wants work has it. I'm asking
you, isn't that fair?

THE Indiana consumer last year paid an
Of electricity he used This was a half cent
more than the cost Of a kilowatt hour TO the
average user throughout the United States.
It was nearly cent more than the price to
the average consumer in the east north CEN
trail states, Of which Indiana is a part.
1t appeared to The Times that this was
wide and inexplicable discrepancy. Unduly
high power and light rates not only place an
unfair burden on the householder, but tend
to divert business and industry to communities
where this essential commodity may be cheap
ly purchased.
Last March The Times employed account
ants to make careful study Of all available
information concerning the indianapolis
Power and Light Company. 1t approached the
question of the local light company's rates
without prejudice. 1t simply wanted the facts.
Public utilities vary like individuals. Some
are good. others are bad.
After months of work this newspaper had
collected a great mass of evidence. 1t took
this material to Sherman Minton, public
counsellor of the public service commission.
We made no recommendations to him, merely
requesting him to examine it, check it with
his own experts and then take any action he
felt justified.
The Times felt that only in this manner
could any charge of unfairness to the Indi-
annapolis Power and Light Company be avoid

gratitude to Arthur Gresham.
If the service men of this state
had a few more leaders like this
man, they would not be in destitute
circumstances today. He is not a
politician and asks nothing for his
efforts but the friendship of his
fellow More power to
him.

Perhaps the vets who so success
fully brought back their much
desired beer have not thought that
its return might have helped in the
unusually high number Of deaths
due to automobile accidents in
Marion county this year. To be
exact, there are 131 deaths due to
accidents this year. BY bringing
your beer back, you probably have
helped indirectly in the slaughter of
these victims.
Still the worst is yet to come.
With repeal now in effect, the
number of drunken drivers no doubt
will increase hugely and the death
toll for next year probably will in
crease simultaneously.
I am only high school boy of
IS, yet even I realize that some
thing must be done to check this
death hazard which is confronting
us.

lished, as your paper was for re-
peal, but I wish it might be.

In reply to the bitter condemna-
ton of James F. Miller relative to
your editorial on professional fees,
it seems to me that apparently he
must have been on the receiving
end of the "hot shot" if we may
apply those two words as the basis
of your editorial
Mr.. Miller may know his fees, but
the editorial resulting from an Gill
advised brainstorm" seems to have
been the direct cause for brain
storm other than the editor.
The opinion of the general pub
lie seems more in favor of The
Times and its fearless editor con-
corning their ability to hit the
"bullseye" in their bold editorials
AS Mr.. Miller says his renewal
was for short time, I believe, Mr..
Editor, that you should mark his
subscription up for at least two
years and allow him more time to
read The Times. Evidently those

STRAND THEATER

Not until the picture was prae-
tically completed did the produ-
GERS and players in ''Hot Satur-
day" the story Of a girl who
walked home from a Saturday,
night date, and awoke Sunday
morning to find she might have
spared herself the trouble, know
how it would end.
The picture, with Cary Grant.
Nancy Carroll and Randolph
Scott in leading roles. is showing
tonight at the Strand Theater.
The reason for the enigma lay
in the fact that both Grant and
Scott. sensational young Holly
wood finds. both performed SO
well in trying to win Miss Carroll
that the producers weren't sure
which one had greater audience
sympathy. The one who did
have, they agreed, should certain
ly win the girl.
Grant plays the role of a mil
lionaire playboy, who has a sum-
mer home near the town in which
Nancy lives. Scott is childhood
sweetheart, who wants her to
marry him.
Nancy walks home from a date
one Saturday when a too-amor-
Gus swain becomes too ambitious.
Sunday she discovers that he has
combined with number of girls
jealous of her popularity to
spread the story that she had
spent the night at Grants house.
The story costs her her job
and almost costs her her home.
In this extremity she flees to
Scott, to accept his offer of mar
riage. He is delighted-until he
hears the story. too. His first re-
action is one Of Indignation.
