all sex traditions by saying
that JOBS FOR WIVES DO
NOT PAY!
Dear Miss Robinson:
Every paper I read has some
discussion about working wives.
And, of course, the working
wife always defends her job.
Well, I've been one-and it did
not bring me a thing.
1t wasn't necessary for me
to work, at first. My husband
had a good position. But
was Childless, with a lot of
time on my hands, and most
of my married friends worked.
So I used to take a job for a
few months and earn about
$500, then my husband and I

Sinking the Navy
Or What's Left Of It

No foreign naves make further plans for sinking
the United States fleet in time of Congress apparently
will beat them to it, in time of peace.
The latest Congressional proposal is to make further
slash in the naval appropriations which, Secretary Adams
points out, will keep the following vessels laid up:
Battleships, out of Is.
Aircraft carriers out of T.
Heavy cruisers, out of Is.
Light cruisers, out of 10.
Destroyers, a. out of 103.
Submarines, 18 out of 3d.
Dirigibles out of 2.
The Navy is 10000 short of the number neces
sary to keep all its vessels in active commission The pro-
posed cut would eliminate more $500 civilian
employees and add them to the ranks of the unemployed
Still further the Navy will have only 66 per cent as many
vessels in active commission Great Britain and only Sc
per cent many Japan has.
This will make it, for practical purposes twohirds the size
Of the British Navy and ONE HALF the size the Japanese
All of which makes interesting reading Americans who
still believe in adequate national defense.

; So THAT'S settled. Or is it?
Then, there's this.
Dear Miss Robinson:
For obvious reasons, I wish
you to omit my name and
address if you print this. I
can imagine quite we'll, what
most men will say on reading
this, without receiving their
personal comments!
It's about working wives.
And, of course, the conven-
tional thing for a young man
in my position to say-twenty-
eight years old, married ten
months-is that I'D rather die
than let my wife take a job!"
But, instead, I'm frankly
glad that she has one. And I
believe that she has as much
right to and as much need for
that job as I have.
Briefly, my reasons for this
are as follows:
FIRST-We could not have
married, unless she also
worked.
SECOND-There is not
enough work in the small,
modern home to keep her busy
and happy, even if my salary
had been ample for two. And
both she and I strenuouSly
object to the dangerous drift
ing of the idle young wife.
THIRD-She is ambitious,
interested in her work, proud
of her growing career. If she
were a man, that would be ap-
plauded. But why hasn't a
woman as great a need to ex-
press herself, and as much
right to an ambition, as a
man?
FOURTH-With my wife
working, we can save a little
toward the real home and
family which we hope to have
some day. If she did not work,
this would be impossible. We
would both be single; both
condemned to lifelong drudgery.
Those are the four main rea-
sons why my wife works-and
why I'm glad she does. I
have yet to see them answered.
MR.. x.
So there you are, stranger.
It's up to you. Out of all
these contradictions, what's
YOUR decision?
IF YOU'RE A HUSBAND,
WOULD YOU LET YOUR
WIFE WORK? AND IF YOU
ARE LETTING HER, WHAT'S
THE RESULT?
IF YOU'RE A WIFE, DO
YOU WANT TO WORK? AND
DO YOU THINK IT'S BET
TER FOR YOUR HOME,
YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR
SELF THAT YOU ARE
WORKING?
AND IF YOU'RE A SINGLE
PERSON, MAN OR WOMAN
WHAT IS THE WORKING
MARRIED WOMAN DOING
TO YOUR JOB?

My husband is dead now,
and I think regretfully of the
years I should have been at
home making things cozy for
him. He learned to enjoy my
money, and naturally we both
acquired habits that made us
spend it all.
But I swear I would never
work again. Even if I had an
unemployed husband I wouldn't
work. Nor would I consider
hiring a married woman-and
I would discharge one imme-
diately upon learning that she
was married. A woman's home

dent spoke and Baruch tes-
titled, Senator Smoot struck
the reactionary note of the
bourbon who forgets nothing
and learns nothing new. The
lame duck Senator, who is
conscientious according to
his light, speaks dismally Of
the passing of Lincoln S idea
of government of the
people, by the people, and
for the people. - That of
course was Jefferson's idea
to which Lincoln subscribed
when he said that "the
principles Of jefferson are
the axioms and the precepts
of a free society"
But the struggle today is
to restore government of
the people, by the people
and for the people" not
to displace it. Our govern
mental policies for long
time have been dominated
by the few against the in-
terest of the many.
But Senator Smoot sees
nothing in the plan to pro
tect the people against the
economic exploitation of the
few but the loss of liberty.
What kind Of liberty,
Senator? The liberty to go
on doing what the insults
did? Half baked ideas may
be advanced to end that
sort Of thing, but the real
fight today is to protect the
economic liberties of the
people, not to destroy them.

Hard to Please Everybody
Now They Complain That Mayor OBrien Works
Too Hard and Too Long Hours

Perhaps you remember when Mr. Walker was mayor of
New York The reporters used to say that at
city hall rather late in the afternoon sometimes and did not
stay long On Mr. Walkers behalf pointed out that
he very active quick young man. and perhaps could
do in hour and half than others could do
longer time
Now different type of is mayor of New York city,
MIR. O'Brien. the former surrogate.
Accustomed to devoting long hours Of hard work to the
important tasks of the surrogat court Mayor Bren pro-
ceeds to devote very long hours and hard work the
task of governing New York city
Mayor OBrien does not arrive late and leave in
and half He arrives early in the morning and stays
sometimes until o'clock at night, working all the
tme and what is painful making others work the
same long hours.
It does please everybody in the city hall to until
sx-thirty What is the of being public
payroll if you cant keep brokers hours and get away
about three?
Some faceous person in the city hall has suggested that
the employees club together and present Mayor oBren with
stopwatch to remind him when it is time to stop work
The mayor thinks he knows the tme which is when the
work of the day is finished.
"NOthng in excess" the old Greek motto. But the
average citizen will be well satisfied to have mayor who
believes in staying until that particular day. work of
the way.

would take a nice trip and
spend it all.
Then, in one place, my
salary was raised $40 a week
rather than let me quit. so I
stayed on and worked steadily.
And that really ended our home
life.
I don't mean that there was
any unhappiness between my
husband and me, but home
was never the same again. Our
double salary permitted many
luxuries, but not a maid; and
though I'm an efficient house
keeper, you can't possibly serve
good meals and keep things
tidy while holding a job.

Expert Politician
Must Cooperate

Prof. Raymond G.. Moley
has just had the privilege
of talking like a Dutch
uncle to a PROFESSIONAL or
academic group. He could
speak out in meeting be-
cause he, himself, is a pro-
fessor, and a good one. He
is in politics today because
he was a good professor,
and there would be more
experts of the academy at
the governmental council
table but for one failing in
so many Of them-their sub
ordination of reality to
theory, their disposition to
make a fetish Of a formula,
their temperamental inca
pacity to compromise to
make an advance. That and
their training with books
and charts rather than with
men. If the professional ex-
pert could rid himself Of
this failing he would play
a conspicuous part in the
affairs of state.
There is a disposition in
academic and intellectual
circles to deride the intelli-
gence and capacity Of the
statesman. The latter is usu-
ally referred to in these cir
cles as a "politician." And
in America, only in America,
we have made the word
"polit clan" synonymous
with everything that is mean
and low. OF course, Lincoln
was a politician, and Jeffer-
son, and Briand-else they
could have accomplished
nothing that they did.
Prof. Moley, emerging
from the academic shades to
mingle practically with poll
ticians, was able to tell the
acad mic group he ad-
dressed:
1.-The professors like the
politicians and the politicians
like the professors. I have
learned more, not only of
practice, but of theory, from
Jim Farley and Louis Howe
than from many of the
books. -
The expert is able to show
what should be done; the
politician is able to show the
expert what can be done.
And nothing can be done
with a theory unless it can
be reconciled with human
nature.
That is the reason the ex-
pert needs the politician, as
much as the politician needs
the expert. Just now we need
them both working in a
spirit of cooperation on the
most complicated and diff
cult problems the nation ever

Il made his last public ut
terance as head of the ma
tion on Monday night. The
purport of his message was
that the budget must be bal
anced and the gold standard
maintained; and that what
ever we may do to assist
other nations that have left
it to return, would be good.
At no time has he expressed
himself so bluntly regarding
the propaganda, foreign in
it's origin or inspiration, for
the transfer of the debts
from Europe to this country
without a corresponding con-
cession from the debtor ma
tions. Thus he says:
II trust the American
people will not be misled or
influenced by the ceaseless
stream Of foreign propa-
ganda that cancellation of
war debts would give this
international relief and
remedy. That is not true.
These debts are but a seq
ment of the problem. Their
world wide Importance is
being exaggerated"
All of which has been the
contention of these columns
for two years. And then nc
makes another point, famil-
lar to the readers of these
columns, when he says:
1.-THE American people can
we'll contend that most of the
debtor countries have the
capacity to raise these an
nual amounts from their tax
payers, as witness the fact
that in most cases the pay
ments to us amount to less
than one-third of the mill
tary expenditures of each
country"
The Washington times., 1933-02-17
One thing Is
Certain

On the day President
oover spoke, Bernard
Baruch appeared before
Senate committee to insist
that the maintenance of the
gold standard and sound
money, and the balancing of
the budget is necessary to
the return of a sound pros
perity. Just now when we
hear so much Of cheapening
the dollar, and of initiation,
it is just as we'll that the ma
tion hear something on the
other side. One thing is GER
tain: we shall gain nothing
by drastic action which mo-
mentarily may mean easier
money if the final effect is
disastrous.
At the same time, Mr..
Baruch is conscious of the
necessity of doing something
for the farmers, and he has
a plan. Most men who oppose
plans proposed are merely
destructive critics; they are
against a plan proposed but
they have no substitute to
offer.
