RECOMM MENDATI0NS DUE
IN SENATE RENT PROBE
Subcommittee May Decide Upon Re-
suits of Six-Month Investigation
at Session This Afternoon.

The Senate District subcommittee
which conducted an inquiry into rental
and housing problems of Washington
in the last six months may decide at
an executive session this afternoon
what recommendations it will make to
the Senate.
One of the suggestions that has been
made to the subcommittee relates to
the possibility of regulating apartment
houses through the provisions of the
general licensing law passed by Con-
gress at the last session. What form
the conclusions of the subcommittee
will take, however, will not be known
until after today's meeting. When the
subcommittee meets this afternoon it
will have before it information pre-
pared by Assistant Corporation Counsel
w. A. Roberts at the request of the

extend to banks limited branch
banking privilege. While the matter
is one of importance. it can be asserted
that there are other matters demanding
attention Of greater import than a lin
tied extension to banks of the branch
banking privilege.
And what is the state Of the Nation?
Twelve million unemployed, 5000 bank
failures, 1,000,00 farms sold under the
auctioneers' hammers. a years supply
of cotton carried over to next year,
world trade gone, communities breaking

Nation demanding that Government

move quickly to enact measures, first
for relief and secondly for cures of
our economic and social ills.
Relief at StandstiIL
While the filibuster goes on nothing

positor Of his money, the farmer is de-

whole Nation-yes. the world-just
steWs in its own misery.
II there was war on, would a fill
buster on branch banking be intelligent
while men were being skilled. national
welfare threatened and possible national
ruin ahead? OF course. not.
Then, We are in state now compar-
able to war. The Nation is anxious. is
cxpectant. is fearful. The people have
anxiety now equal to the days of the
World War. Consequently, the tilibuster

The Nation has the right. therefore.
to expect Congress to do these things,

SPLENDID ISOLATION

WHEN President Roosevelt addressed
himself to the people of the world on
disarmament Americas famous tradition of
splendid isolation" went topping over into
the dust, and it seems probable that Ii will
stay there.
AS matter Of fact, of course, this splendid
isolation toppled years ago. But the tradition
remained, and that was what caused trouble.
We had tradition to which we gave almost
unanimous support, and it failed to jibe with
the facts. To support it meant that we had to
shut our eyes to the realities
We were fond of talking-and acting-as if
the Atlantic ocean were just as wide now as a
century ago. We laid our international course
on charts drawn up in the days of sailing ships
and stage coaches; and when we steered
ourselves into trouble, we wondered, plaintiveIy,
Why fate was being SO unkind.
Nineteen years ago Europe got into war,
and before it was over we got into it also
although we're still trying to figure out Just
what we gained by it.
Since the war Europe has packed a century
of troubles into decade and half; and
good many Of them have stopped over the
edges and spilled right on u.s.
The Bolshevism of Russia, the rivalry
between France and Germany, the tangled
finances of Europe as whole, the trade wars
growing out of the postwar mixup, the need of
foreign nations for American money and. later.
their inability to pay that money back-all
these things have had a tremendous direct
effect on the conditions of life for each one
Of us.
In the face of those uncomfortable facts.
our tradition of isolation has had thin time
of it.
We are as close to Europe today as the
England of Pitt was to the France of Napoleon
Not only is it impossible for us to remain aloof
from European quarrels; we can not even
restore our own internal prosperity as we
would wish to until Europes most pressing
problems are settled
We have, when you get right down to If
about as much real isolation as a traffic COP on
a busy corner
Well, then-so what? Won't it be a good
thing If at last we accept the realities of the
situation and do what we can to set things
right?
II we must make commitments overseas
let us make them and be done with it. However
1t turns out, we shall at least be looking the
facts in the face.

IF one cared to be super-patriotic, 1t would
be fairly easy to work up a good bit OF
excitement over the fact that one-third of the
entire United States fleet is to be placed In
reserve commission on July l, with reduction
of more than 1000 men in the navys enlisted
personnel.
That this reduces the fighting efficiency of
the feet goes without saying. A navy which
must pull third of its ships out of dock-yards
and find crews for them at the recruiting
stations in the event of sudden trouble
undeniably is below the standard which its
paper strength gives it.
But there doesn't seem to be much real
ground for worry even so. Troubled as the
world is, moderately competent craftsmanship
at Washington ought to bring us through the
next few years without letting us get into
war.
war right now would be a calamity for
US, anyway even If our feet were twice its
present size.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
YOUTHS VIEW OF WAR

THE Intercollegiate Disarmament Council
L recently polled more than 81 900 American
college students on the attitude they would
take if the United States should get into
another war.
Nearly SO per cent Of the students who
replied asserted that they never would
participate in any war. A slightly smaller
number said that they would fight only if the
United States actually were invaded.
AS evidence of a changing attitude on the
part of youth toward war, this is extremely
interesting. Probably however, it does not
represent as much of paci1stic tendency as
appears on the surface
Youth is impetuous, vulnerable to strong
emotional appeals; it is a safe bet that good
many of these lads who insist they never will
fight would find their way to recruiting
station pretty promptly if we actually went
to war.

NON-AGGRESsION BY MARINES

nNE reason the United States never has
achieved much in it's crusades to make
the world safe for democracy. or Christian
ity, or any other goal is its failures to nrac-
tlce at home what 1t breaches abroad Es-
peclaIIy IN the matter of world peace and
non-aggression pactS, this has been O. bar
rier.
When we told the Japanese that they
should not send troops into China in viola
tlon OF treaties, they at once replied that
they merely were following our example in
Latin America. They justified their policy
of aggression by calling it a Monroe doctrine
for Asia
The comparison was not exact. The
Monroe doctrine does not apply to United
States intervention in Latin America against
Latin American country, but merely for
United States protection of Latin American
countries against foreign intervention.
Nor has our military intervention in Latin
America been in violation of specific treaties
while the fact that Japan has violated her
treaties is the chief count against her.
/ Nevertheless, apart from technicalities and
LOCALITIES, there was much to be said for the
SPlllU VI JdpdIlSS6 anu Quiet 1OT6lSn
of our hypocrisy in sending marines to oc-
cupy weaker countries.
Therefore, one of the chief virtues of the
new Roosevelt doctrine, as laid down in his
world peace declaration Tuesday, is the PreSi-
dents application of the non-aggression policy
to the United States intervention in Latin
America
Both the President and the secretary of
state have made it clear that the proposed
non-aggression pact in which the nations
would agree not to send troops across FROM
tier, would prevent American marine occu-
patton of the Vera Cruz and Nicaraguan type.
American marines now are in Haiti and
in China, but under specific treaty rights 1t
is to be hoped that even those troops Will be
withdrawn soon. But, in any event. it is
essential that the United States hereafter re-
frain from foreign intervention in violation
not only of the letter, but of the spirit of
anti-war and non-aggresSion treaties.
otherwise our attempt at world leadership
. for peace is likely to prove as futile as it is
hypocritcal.
President Roosevelt has faced this issue
honestly. The Roosevelt policy will increase
our own self-respect, improve our relations
with Latin America, and heighten our pres
tige throughout the world

though natural longing for mascu-
line companionship, and for the
same happy recreationS that other
people enjoy, seems to be the Bit
ter heritage of the American woman
teacher.
For her profession, one of the first
to open its doors to girls, offers the
poorest matrimonial opportunities.
That this should be so destroys the
highest purpose of education and
condemns as fools those of us who
profess to believe in that purpose

ordinary ambition and possessing

WHO SHOULD BE TAXED?

IT is fair that those who actually are earning
money these days should be required to pay
a little more in income taxes to the federal
government so it may try to revive industry
and put the jobless back to work.
For this reason we favor the first three
of the four alternative tax suggestions made
by the President through Budget Director
Lewis Douglas to the house ways and means
committee.
1t is true that, in increasing the normal
tax rates, great as well small incomes are
touched; but the Rooseyelt-Douglas plan
should be amended to provide for higher sur
taxes and corporation taxes as well.
Douglas likewise suggested the general sales
tax he put the rate low and permitted no ex-
emptions AS before, this newspaper opposes
the principle of the sales tax. 1t is too easy
to levy, too hard to repeal its burden is an
insidious one hidden but sure. The invisible
tax is bad tax,
Perhaps in this emergency it will be neces-
sary to levy a general sales tax. If it comes
to a final choice between putting men to work
by reason of a sales tax, or keeping them idle
by killing a sales tax, we would choose the
former course
But a sales tax should not be resorted to
until other rich sources of revenue have been
tapped.
President Roosevelt must have had the
same idea, and Budget Director Douglas as
we'll For their first three out of four sugges-
tions were for higher income levies.
The President, in all fairness has put the
troubling tax question up to congress to solve
with the announcement that if it does not
select the new levies by "the first of the week."
he will recommend his own He thus clearly
has shown against his belief that this indus
trial recovery bill, taxes and all, must be en-
acted quickly
Speed is an extreme necessity in the situa-
ton.

More JObZess?

BY W. NJ. LindIey.
TINE attached copy Of an ed
4 itorial by julius G. Berens was
called to the attention of the
delegates to the convention of
railroad telegraphers here in Mon
treaI and I think your railroad
readers in Indianapolis would like
to read it Friday:
The railroad bill pending be-
fore the senate is little more than
hodge-podge legislation.
Even its sponsors admit that
the bill is little more than per-
mission to the railroad manage
ments to go ahead regardless of
antitrust laws and similar stat
utes for limited time, and to
effect economies which can be &C
complished under the plan set
forth in the bill"
The remarks quoted were made
by SecreCry OF commerce roper
at senate hearings.
The testimony thus far has
failed to refute the charge that
one of the most certain results Of
the proposed legislation would be
dismissal of a great many railroad
workers, estimated as high as
100000.
These would be added to the
100000 railroaders now out of
work.
This seems a high cost for the
privilege of giving railroad man
agements free hand in recon-
mending economies which presu-
mably are to re-establish the
financial integrity of this twenty
billion-d industry.

MORE impressive than the denials of the
AZ power companies and the army engineer
officers is the demand for prompt investigation
OF the charges Of misuse Of government equip
ment at Muscle Shoals
The public Will not be disposed to pre-
judge the facts. Nevertheless, it is easy to
understand the general concern over these
charges Senator George w, Norris Secre-
tary of the Interior Harold L, Ickes and Louis
r. CLAWS who made the preliminary inyesti-
CATION for the government, are names that
carry weight When they fear something is
seriously wrong, it is time to act.
That apparently is the attitude of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He has assigned Huston
Thompson, former federal trade commits
sioner and government counsel in the New
River power case to continue the probe
Washington is even more concerned over
the possibility that this military property may
have been damaged than over the loss Of fed.
eral money through alleged improper use of
plant facilities by the Alabama Power Com
pany.
The VIGOROUSLY unfriendly attitude of the
Hoover administration and certain army en-
gineer officers to government operation of
Muscle Shoals has fed ugly reports in Wash
ington.
In justice to all concerned, the govern
ment speedily should bring these charges into
the open and give the accused fair chance
to defend themselves.

NJ. E.TracySays:

GERMANY under Hitler promises to be
" stumbling block in the path of disarma-
ment, but this fact should not be taken to mean
that the allies are blameless.
Germany under Hitler is a logical result of
allied laundering of the Treaty of Versailles, of
the stubborn attempt to hold a nation in
servitude
Sooner or later the Versailles treaty must be
modified. Its provisions are incompatible with
European peace. 1t was formulated in a spirit
of vengeance and contains sanctions at variance
with the first principles of equity.
Europe can not have peace as long as it is
guided by the animosities of war.
The very presence of Nazsm furnishes a vivid
Illustration of where these animosities lead. No
group of nations can presume to dominate the
policy of a neighboring nation without fostering
just such a reaction.
Signing of the Versailles treaty foredoomed
Germany to Nazisn, Communism, or some other
exaggerated movement to express her bitterness
of feeling.
TINE idea that a healthy republic could be
l. established in Germany under such restric-
tons as the allies imposed was just one more
absurd illusionment born of victory.
If revival of the war spirit succeeds in
crushing Hitlersm, it will only be to make room
for some other party devoted to Germany's
emancipation.
Statesmen are dealing with elemental emo
lions, rather than calm naturalization OF pub
lie interests and public problems The more they
scratch and irritate old wounds, the more diff
culties they will have to overcome in laying the
foundations for peace.
Permanent peace presupposes a parity of
armies and navieS. The very thought that one
country must be held back because of what
happened fifteen or twenty years ago is irrecon-
cilable with the major purpose. Nations have no
choice but to trust one another or revert to the
old order.
Such factors as the Versailles treaty the non
recognition of Russia, the insistence of France
that she must be protected against further de-
cline Of the dollar will have to be eliminated.
THE civilized world faces no choice but
L. abandonment of certain old conceptions if it
would establish new order. Those growing out
Of the war are among the first that should be
abandoned, because they represent the latest and
most powerful source of discord.
The failure to make better progress thus far
can be traced definitely to the insincerity of
leaders who imagined that they could arrange
new agreements without abrogating old ones
that they could retain the prestige and spoil of
victory and still enjoy the whole-hearted CO.
operation Of their beaten enemies.
The time has come to admit that such atti-
tude is impossible, impractical and unavoidable,
that it not only perpetuates antagonisfn between
and among nations, but constantly threatens the
development OF revolution within nations.
