BRITAINS PEACE SABOTAGE

WHEN President Roosevelt recently made
w his great peace appeal to all nations
and offered to enter an effective nonaggres-
sion pact, it was assumed that other large ma
tions would follow that leadership.
Though it was supposed that Japan, hav-
Ing outlawed herself by continued aggression
and treaty violation, might not Cooperate
the American public would not suspect Great
Britain of obstruction.
Indeed, the British monarch. in his pronpt
acknowledgment of the Roosevelt letter ex-
pressed sympathy with its purpose But now
1t appears that the British Tory-N National gov
eminent does not share the peace policy of
the British king and the British people
The official reply which the London gov
ernmenta just has made to the Roosevelt nom
aggression pact proposal does not even men
ton that proposal. This is not onlv had
diplomacy, it is exceedingly bad taste An
even stronger word could be used to describe
this British action without injustice.
The practice of blocking peace moves Is
getting to be habit Of the British govern
ment
The British government emasculated the
kellogg anti-war pact with reservations which
made 1t virtually meaningless.
The British government tacitlv Supported
japanese treaty violation and aggression in
Manchuria and repeatedly blocked league ac-
ton against Japan.
The British government now is irving n
Kill the Roosevelt nonaggression pact before if
is born.
This anti-peace policy does not represent
the British people; it is dictated by the Tory
lmperalistS of the British war Office and ad-
mlralty. But that does not make it anv tho
less disastrous for the worlds peace plans.
This is the sort of thing which makes II
SO easy for the American big navy groun to
argue that the American fleet should he bu,+
up TO parity with the British. For our part
we grow weary of the constant British CHARGE
that the United States will not cooperate for
peace-accompanied by British Moves to de-
feat American peace cooperation.
1t Is not necessary to go to London to find
Anglo-SaXon hypocrisy. We have had plenty
OF it in American foreign policy But in the
case Of the Roosevelt nonaggreSsion proposal
our hands are clean.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
THE NAVY GOES MORAL

A DMIRAL r. H. LEIGH, commander-in-
chief Of the United States feet, must
be a man Of an optimistic and sanguine turn
Of mind. His recent order that the practice
Of profanity be eliminated on all American
naval vessels seems to be the sort of order
that only a hopeful man would issue.
Sailors, Of course, are not nowadays the
tough, horny handed chaps that their prede-
cessors were. Taken by and large, the young
men of our navy are as fine a group as any
man would care to see. But they do have
excellent vocabularies, and there seems to be
something about sailors life which makes
that necessary.
Take, for example, a busy coxswain en-
gagged in bringing motor launch up along
side pier in stiff cross wind against an
adverse tide, with no one on the dock to
take his lines but couple Of rockies who
don't know a rope from a necktie.
One shudders to think Of the emotional
strain he will suffer if he complies literally
with Admiral Leigh's order

A Reasonable Request

ITO Haitian gentlemen and gen
Il erals it seemed the most natural
request in the world. And so they
sat to kill an hour and talk Of past
campaigns in which they had fought
as comradess or in contending ar.
mics.
Time flew, and many cigarets
were smoked, and there was banter
and the exchange Of information.
Finally the pack mule arrived, and
General Chevalier put on his red
pants and his white coat, with all
the medals.
He borrowed one final cigaret,
asked for a light, waved his hand,
and the shots rang out. Honor,
drama, economic, and political ne
ceSsity had all been satisfied.
And so I hope it may be with me
when 1 come to my white wall. I

whether to wear the light brown

or the blue with the purple stripe.

I read your editorial of Thursday
in which you state that Mooney
should be freed and that he never
was fully proved guilty.
Perhaps you are right, and maybe
Tom Mooney is innocent and does
not deserve life Imprisonment, but
have you ever considered that he
might be guilty? And that Cali
fornia might be making a great
mistake in freeing him. Of course,
public sentiment is with him be-
cause of his seemingly unjust in
generation, and because of his aged
mother, who wants to live until her
Tommy once again is free man.
But, on the other hand, what
about the ten people or more killed
in the blast on that memorable day
in San Francisco, and their rela-
tons that are living with no hope
Of ever seeing their kin alive again?
What would be the result if
Mooney is freed? A known anarchist
and trouble maker, he probably
would start lectures Immediately
against the government and the
state of California for their crooked
courts, etc. Then probably some one
of those men who were responsible
or connected with his trial and SEN
tence would be found shot to death,
mySteriOuSly. Mooney has a lot of
followers who would do most any,
thing he commanded.
His recent trial was a blank, prov
ing nothing, disproving nothing.
There was no need to submit any
evidence of guilt He already is
serving time for the crime and be-
sides it was an added expense on
an already overburdened taxpayer
who has not the time to worry
about costly trials in which nothing
can be gained.
My personal opinion is, and I
have been an inhabitant of San
Francisco for six years, that Mooney
if freed will be back in Jail within
one year after his release, for addi-
tional trouble. 1 say, let him rot in
Jail as he is menace to peace
loving citizens.
Mooney hardly can be criticised
for being hardened against the peo-
pie, after seventeen years of peni-
tertiary life, but he can not be
excused for his attitude or lack of
respect for this country's govern
ment, with which he never has
been in accord, and never will.

HOW MORGAN DID 1T

T. P. MORGAN paid no income tax last
year, yet he lived like man with very
adequate income. Many people would be glad
to take what it cost to keep up his feet of
automobiles, his yacht, or his Glen Cove estate
as salary. That is one reason why many
people find themselves perplexed. If not sus-
picious
How could Mr.. Morgan escape without
paying cent. if he still took in enough to
live so sumptuously?
Men who earn their incomes have to pay
if they receive more than a stipulated amount
and there is no doubt that Mr.. Morgan did.
The point is that the law permits him and
all others in similar position to Offset in
come with capital losses, which is something
that those without capital can not do.
Here is how it works. man worth $780,
100000 loses $25, 100000 through the sale OF
stocks, or bad debts Under the law, he can
write it off against his income during the cur
rent year, although he still may be getting
two or three million in profits, dividends, or
salaries.
The man without capital Is of course, un-
able to take advantage of such law. He must
pay, regardless Of how hard times are or how
sharply his income has been reduced, provided
it exceeds the exemption limit
Now the question is, should capital losses
Of any kind or description be allowed to off,
set income which actually is received?
The man who owns home and who sells
it at loss is not allowed to deduct it, because
trainers of the law forgot to include the home
in those classes Of property on which losses
would be allowed

One need not be an income tax expert to

Most people are firmly convinced that the

Exercises Strengthen Foot Arch Tissues

IN many instances, feet are ex-
L ceedingly painful because Of a
condition affecting the main bone
of the foot, the astragalus.
This is particularly the case in
the condition commonly called fall
en- arch, which occurs more often
in women than in men.
People who stand long hours, such
as motormen or SalesWomen, are
especially likely to be disturbed by
pain in the feet due to eXtraordi-
nary stress on the arches.
There is pain and rigidity of the
tissues and at times even spasns
Of the muscles in the effort to over
come the pressure.
Relief frequently occurs when the
person is able to stay off the feet,
but in most cases this interferes
with occupation and earning power.

A WOman's Viewpoint ::

TT seems a great pity that so few
L men read novels. especially those
designated as feminine fiction.
A good many are no good, Of
course, but the best ones do give an
insight into the mind of the modern
woman-and this is territory that
the modern man would do well to
explore.
Problems of marriage make up
most Of the plots, and we take it for
granted that men as we'll as women
are concerned with this subject.
It is encouraging to note that
there is distinct trend away from
divorce in our best current fiction.
There is strong propaganda for the
preservation of marriage and the
advantages of old-fashioned stabil-
ity.

r Unless I am mistaken, there is a definite
" need for re-educatiOn as to the meaning of
liberty in these United States We continue to
preach that each mans liberty begins where that
of another ends but We do not practice it.
We insist that there should be no limit to the
exercise of certain rights and privileges. Pro-
ceeding on the idea that it is the individuals
right to earn and accumulate all that he can

the specific purpose of sitting competition Gre

The unlicensed liberty acquired by small
groups through the power of concentrated wealth
is reflected in the last liberty of millions.
Officially the United States lives under the
same form of government that its founders es-
tabliShed, but unoficially its people have become
subject to a network of interlocking tyrannies.
DIG BUSINESS, as we call it, has come to
ID dominate America, not only in an eco
nomic sense but in philosophical sense. 1t
has trained us to think of size as the al-impor-
tant objective and of money as the al-impor-
tant medium.
Most OF our young people start out in life
with the sole idea Of getting an income. What
will they do for ii, or with it, becomes a sec
ondary consideration
The success of college graduates generally is
rated by the cash income they receive and the
worth of business enterprise or individuals by
their liquid, rather than by their permanent
assets. We have reached point where We think
OF capital solely in terms of money or securities
which can be moved on the instant.
AS matter Of common sense, our real cap
ltal consists of land, buildings, machinery and
natural resources. without them the cash and
securities we possess would be of little value
The land and natural resources come to us
as gift from nature The buildings tools and
machinery We have created, and we have created
them largely by virtue Of an ingenuity which
owes much to liberty as conceived by our fore
fathers.

materials into wealth and comfort to develop
the best-housed, best-clothed and best-fed nation
of all time.

experimentation would be sacrificed for the sake
Of theoretical security

too seriously except it reveals the folly of toll
Grating unlicensed privileges as some of our
great industrial and financial institutions have
been permitted to exercise.

CHE presents a plea for the

her husbands interest if she has
children, and practically certain to
do so if she doesn't.
