ELIMINATE THE RACKETEERS

ONE of the good things the senate did in
" its final moments was to vote a drastic
investigation into racketeering in Americas
biggest cities.
If our new deal is to be all that it ought
to be, it must ind some way of dealing with
the racketeer; and although a great deal is
knowp about that problem, no effective cor
receives can be designed and applied until
lot of definite, detailed knowledge is tabulated.
The best way to get such knowledge seems
to be by means of a senate investigation. The
committee members who will study the mat
ter this summer and fall can be relied upon
to get it.
Following that, there must be new legis-
lation. 1t is to be hoped that the investigators
will find some way in which an aroused
nation can strike a Gripping blow at the un-
derworld sharpers who have been ievying such
a heavy toll on legitimate business.

DANGERS IN RECOVERY ROAD

4 S the great depression of the 'thirties
n sinks into what we all devoutly hope will
be its final coma, it is instructive to look
back at the deathbed scenes of former de-
pressions and see how they compare with this
one
BY one way of looking at things, they are
all much alike.
In former times as now, the upward turn
began before people realized it. Commodity
prices began a slow, but steady climb security
prices advanced. scattered factories began to
put men back to work, people started buying
things again-and then, the first thing any
one knew, we were out of it and there was a
clear road ahead again.
That seems to be very much the way
things are working out now. But there are
one or two differences and they modify the
whole picture in a way that it is impossible
to ignore
In the first place, no previous depression
led to such far-reaching and drastic action
by the federal government. We never have
before had anything like the new farm bill
the industrial control bill, and so on.
No previous depression forced us off the
gold standard; none ever caused so much
power to be given. to the President
Secondly. the international situation is diff
ferent. Never before did the climax of hard
times in America coincide with such a near
approach to chaos in international relations
The London conference, with all that it i'm
plies, is a new thing; the problems of dis
armament international debts, world peace
and treaty revision give to our emergence from
this depression an entirely new face.
Last of all, it is true probably that never
before have we been so thoroughly disillu-
sioned-with our leaders. with our institutions
and with ourselves. We have called in ques-
ton the basic features of our national life.
Radical as our recovery program may seem,
it is mild as milk compared with what the
great mass of people will demand if recovery
is delayed along the way.
We are coming out of it in different way
than we did other times. To say that we
always shall go on in the old paths simply
because I'VE always have recovered before"
is to talk complete nonsense.
Everything is profoundly different. Only
by recognizing the extent of the difference
can we find our way safely through the next
few critical years

L \ as a hazard in summer, the
next most important source Of trou-
bic is food and water.
In the first place, one should be
careful not to eat too much in
summer. Fruits and vegetables are
the most valuable bases for the
Summer diet.
However, no one-sided diet is safe.
Every diet suitable for health and
growth must contain protein, carbo-
hydrate and fat, mineral salts and
vitamins in suitable proportions.
Milk and milk products should
form the basic substance in diets
particularly for children in sum-
ner, as well as in winter. How
ever, it is much more difficult to
keep milk satisfactorily in summer,
and parents must make sure that
refrigeration is adequate, that the
milk is ,pasteurized properly and
clean when it comes to the home.

IM.E.TracySays:

TIME appropriation of more than three bill
lion dollars for public work is an essential
feature of the industrial recovery bill. Some
people regard it as the most essential. No one
expects congress to repeat it. however much
less make it regular item of the budget. Why
not take similar attitude toward other features
of the bill?
President Roosevelt is graphing with an
emergency He was elected for that purpose.
His campaign centered on the idea that some
thing drastic had to be done. When he as
sumed office, he made no bones about telling
the people that he would do his best to give
them the kind of leadership for which they so
emphatically had asked. But the Presidents
thought is one of relief rather than revolution.
He is not Mussolini or Hitler.
To put it bluntly, Mr. Roosevelt is tackling
the depression in about the same way that
Woodrow Wilson tackled the war, moblizing the
power of the country just as quickly and just as
effectively as he can.
The stupendous program he has formulated
may lead to certain changes in our financial and
economic system, but much of it is bound to
disappear with the situation it was designed to
meet.
The country elected him because it had
decided that normal methods we're unsuted to
the abnormal conditions which existed.
TURNING this proposition around, is it not
absurd to assume that the abnormal
methods he is proposing would suit normal con-
ditions?
Whatever others may think the President
has no illusions on this point.
Undoubtedly, he sees room for improvement
in many branches Of the government, but his
immediate objective is to get the country back
on its feet, to rehabilitate buying power provide
work, and re-establish business in any and every
possible way.

Does it appeal to you as right or

dogs? One big advertiser of dog ra-

this company will argue that the
slaughtering of horses for dog meat
is no different in principle than the

that these horses are wild and I'M

They say that dogs like horse
flesh. Perhaps such concerns can
advance many arguments to justify
this business, but it appeals to many

RAIL MEN FIGHT
NEW PAY GUT

CHICAGO, June 16 QN.S1,
The Railroad Labor Executives
Association, esentinE Fl
brotherhoods, met today to frame
reply to the carriers request
for further wage reductions for
all employees.
A total reduction Of 22h per
cent, which includes the 10 per
cent cut accepted by tn unions
last year, was asked of the
brotherhoods in a notice served
by the conference committee of
managers.
Although union representatives
stated they would fight further
wage cuts, reports were current
that both labor and MANAGEMENT
would consider q compromise.
A poll of the brotherhood
leaders indicated that their reply
today to carriers will demand that
the 10 per cent cut now in effect
be eliminated.
The railroads, in their notices
to the unions yesterday, asked for
a conference here July IL, stating
that they plan to make the new
reductions effective November l,
the date on which the present
wage agreement expires,
