Climbers Race Pliers i1 British RipaIryf '''
 To Reach Top of Worlds Highest Peak
By OSCAR NEEDING

LONDON. March 13.--Two great adventures, which may develop in- to race, are pointing toward the conquest of Mount Everest.
 Loftiest known peak, it's head towering 19,l41 feet, Everest is to be assailed by land and air expe- ditions.
 Climbers Start Ahead
 First away to the task no one has yet accomplished though many lives have been lost in attempts, was the van of the land expedi- tion headed by Hugh Ruttledge, a retired officer of te Indian civil service.
 Te other seekers for the glory to be first in the conquest, com pose an air expedition. financed by Lady Houston. England's "Lady Bountiful."
 It includes the Marquis of lClydesdale, member of Parliament for East Renfrewshire; Air Con- modore P. F. M. Fellows, who will be in charge as technical expert, land Flight Lieutenant Mcintyre. They are flying to their base in light planes.
 Plan March Flight
 Two airplanes will be used, with the main base at Purnea. about 16O miles from Mount Everest. The Ieffort to photograph the worlds highest peak from above is plan Ined to take place any day now.
 Longer is the task of the land party, which expects to reach the base camp north of Everest in April and have nearly two months Ito make it's attack before the mon- I-soon
 This effort to scale the peak lafoot, was formed by joint com |mittee of the Royal Geographical Society and The Alpine Club. l Altogether, the expedition will number IA, including L. R. Wa lger, member of the British Arc tic air route expedition of 1930- 1881, and Thomas A. Brocglebank, who stroked the Cambridge crew to victory for the third successive year in the 1881 varsity race. l Unsuccessful attempts to scale the monarch of the Himalayas were 'Imade in 1921, 1922, and 1924 and there is a dramatic possibility for both expeditions that they may find traces of Mallory and Irvine, two climbers who never returned. Il The base camp 12 miles north lof Everest will be at the height lof Mont Blanc and here, Mr.. Rut- tledge said, is where climbers and tporters don windproof suits. gog- lgles, helmets, special boots, and everything calculated to turn respectable citizen into a figure 7 of fun"
 Three camps are to be kept per- !, manently, each three to four hours apart, with camp Three as the ad- vance base at 21,000 feet. The fourth stage. which they ex- pect to reach about May IT, will be at an altitude of 23,0O0 feet, and two more temporary camps are planned at 25,50O and 27,3oO fleet.
 1 The last 1000 feet, MT. Ruttledge said, will be "a nepic fight" Oxy- gen will be used if it seems nec- essary and effective.
 1 This will be the first expedi- I ton to provide it's porters with sleeping bags. They are lined with feathers and exceedingly light.

DELAYED PRICE FIXING

CECRETARY OF INTERIOR HAROLD L.
- IcKEs has demonstrated commendable
caution in delaying oil price fixing until he
sees how oil production is reflected in prices.
We believe that under extreme necessity the
President and Secretary Ickes can utilize their
legal authority over prices and not injure con-
sumers of gasoline and other petroleum prod
ucts. But it is obvious that price fixing is a
drastic remedy.
In isolated cases in the past, production
control has not had beneficial effect upon
prices. 1t may be that, with national control.
prices will take care of themselves, as General
johnson believes
We hope this first government move under
the oil code will have the expected results.
If it does not, then the President and Mr..
Ickes should not hesitate to invoke the unusu-
al powers conferred upon them, but always
with the aim in view of protecting consumers.

A Joke Could Help

A LTHOUGH it is generally held
N that a sense Of humor is a
handicap to the leader who wants
to get things done, 1 could wish
that Herr Hitler was not so furi-
ously insulated against any under
standing of fun. A fierce and swing
ing gust of laughter might do much
to clear out fumes from the Oppres-
sive atmosphere which hangs over
the Germany Of today
But there is small hope Of freeing
Germany through shafts of satire,
even if a genius arose to tackle the
job. Herr Hitler never will see a
joke. If he could see so much as
one, his tongue would cleave to the
roof Of his muth and the day Of
persecution would be over
1 do not see how anybody can
deny that Hitler is among the
worlds significant figures. Yet
am doubtful if that makes him I'M
der any nicely of definition a great
man. This is not the first time that
a fool has found himself in the seat
of the mighty.
And yet one authentic service he
has performed Adolf Hitler has
taken the theory of Nordic suprem-
acy and reduced it to a palpable
absurdity.

IS THIS THE DAWN?

nNE of the brightest signs of the times is
the compilation of figures by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference showing that en-
ployment in the United States increased by
more than 10 per cent in July over June, and
that this was the largest monthly percentage
gain recorded in fourteen years.
Furthermore, July was the fourth successive
month in which an employment gain had been
recorded; and on top of that it was shown that
the people who had Jobs were, on the average,
working longer hours in July than had been
the case in June.
The tide is rising-not as rapidly as we
might like perhaps, but very steadily What
ever may be the cause and whoever may de-
serve the credit, we at last seem to be emery
ing from the depression. Could We possibly
get better news than this?

BUTLER ON ARISTOCRACY

nR. NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER, presi-
dent of Columbia university, at South
ampton L. /, Sunday demanded the end of
direct primaries and declared:
"A true democracy must produce its own
aristocracy and be governed by it."
How could a democracy be democracy
if it let an aristocracy govern it? This sounds
like the copy book maxims of the political
scientists of Dr. Buffers younger days.
1t might be said that the American democ-
racy now has an aristocrat governing it in
the person of Franklin D. Roosevelt. But the
power of Roosevelt came from the demo-
cratic masses, along with his mandate.
A revolution of votes, rising up out of the
factories and grass roots, selected and en-
powered Franklin D. Roosevelt, just as in an
other day it lifted and empowered plebeian
Lincoln
1t is far more healthy for a democracy
to keep on thrusting up new democratic ma
terial into the seats of the governors than to
create and consolidate a set of aristocratic
rulers
In the last analysis, democracy should in
its multiplicity govern itself all possible.
The sense of the masses may be despised.
But even the most ignorant of the masses,
like baby, know when they have the collie
or are hungry and can cry out for relief.
Political scientists who advocate aristo-
cratic government in democracy forget that
democracy is more than a means of ruling
the people and regulating their affairs.
1t is a school in self-respect and self-devel-
opment, continual opportunity and incen-
tive toward development upward for the
individual, however humble.
Place upon the head of humanity a cap
stone of aristocracy and that capstone tends
to bear down upon the spirit of the less
privileged and less intelligent. Democracy
is the sun which nourishes the growth of the
human spirit
Aristocratic government, like royal govern
ment. is a screen which subdues that light
and tends to discourage the greatest personal
confidence and self-esteem without which
there can not be the greatest possibilities of
growth of mind or spirit.
More democracy and not less or qualified
democracy is the hope of the people on this
earth.

ONE LESS NUISANCE

A SAN DIEGO youth was sentenced to
year in Jail the other day for confessing
to a murder which he had not committed
San Diego had had a murder which drew
a lot of public attention, as murders some
times do. This youth, desiring a taste of
notoriety, went to the police and confessed
In a short time the police proved that he
didn't know what he was talking about; but
instead of slapping his wrist and turning
him loose, they charged him with obstructing
justice, and now he will have a whole year in
which to mediate on his folly.
Here is step which proftably might be
followed in all such cases. Every unsolved
murder brings confessions" from notorety-
seekers, and they are a tremendous nuisance
to the authorities.
1t is a safe bet that the nuisance would be
abated considerably if a good stiff Jail sentence
were the price of each bogus confession.

M. E.TracySays:

MEN have enough to fight against without
1Vl fighting each other if they only realized
1t. Death and disease even of the oldest variety,
remain unconquered, while multitude of new
forms appears on every horizon.
No sooner do we get one plague we'll in hand
than another develops to take its place. In
some instances our own folly is responsible
In most instances, we are taken completely by
surprise
Six months ago no one looked for an cpl
demic of sleeping sickness in st. Louis, and now
that it has come no one knows the cause.
We are confident that science will identify
the germ and carrier some day, after which it
can tackle the problem of remedies
Meanwhile, our greatest psychologists are
laboring in the dark They had no notion that
such afliction was about to break out in the
midwest or anywhere else.
On general principles, this latest variety of
sleeping sickness, which has no connection with
the well-known African disease of the same
name, is supposed to be due to some kind Of
germ, spread by some kind of a carrier.
But where did the carrier get the germ to
begin with, and why did it pick out ST. Louis?
FURTHERMORE, where has the germ been
i hiding all these years, or was it recently
brought into being as by-product OF civilized
life?
We did not know there was a germ world
was not. in such varied and vicious form Maybe
some of the methods and processes by which We
have tried to tame, control, or exterminate other
forms of life are responsible for the increase of
germs.
AT any rate We are discovering them or their
deadly work at an alarming rate, and We only
can wonder how the old folks ever survived if
all the germs were present in their day.
DR.. Burr Ferguson of Birmingham Ala,
thinks it was the little white corpuscle that
saved the race by eating any sort of germ. with
out regard to race creed, color, or previous con-
dition of Servitude.
DR.. Ferguson also thinks we would make quite
as much progress by assisting our white cor
puscles as by bothering to isolate every different
kind Of germ and then preparing specific.
THE problem is too complicated for the
il average layman. Whether it is better to
fight the bugs direct or to encourage other and
more friendly bugs to eat them is question for
science to decide.
All we can be sure Of is the folly of fighting
hands
We don't need war, murder or kidnapping to
make the struggle for existence interesting, or
furnish an adequate outlet for our surplus
energy.
The task of keeping human beings fairly we'll
and reasonably happy is sufficient to provide
plenty of work and plenty of honor for all OF Us.

1t Seems
to Me
BY HAYWOOD BROUN

NEW YORK, sept. 8-Herr HIT
L Ter is a cut-rate Nero He is
trying to get by with circuses and
leaving out the bread.
All the available figures seem to
show that the economic position of
Germany has grown worse under the
Nazi regime. and yet 1t must be adj
mitted that the little man with the
loud voice is more powerful just now
than ever before.
1t is a strange thing to observe the
manner in which a nation can sus-
tain itself on slogans. Even wrong
headed and vicious slogans at times
will do the trick. Certainly no scien-
fist of any standing conceiyably
would support the preposterous the
cries about the desirability of race
purity advanced by Germany's brass
chancellor.
We have a right to be scornful
about the nonsense set forth in MI
remburg. But with our Scorn for the
Prussian poppycock should go a re-
solve to be equally impatient with
the same point of view when il is
advanced here in the United States.

The Golfer
BY AUSTIN JAMES


He'll get up early Sunday morn
At half past five or six,
And take them from behind the door
His barnyard Skinny sticks,
He'll stop for Alvin, Chef, and Tom
And head for Pleasant Run,
And fore the sun has got clear up
His Collin games begun.
And then he'll walk a dozen miles
In August's burning air,
N think he's havin' lots O. fun,
He'll swing and sweat and swear,
But through the week most every
morn,
His duty he will shirk,
He'll try to grab another snooze
N then be late for work.
And if his family wants some sweets
Or he a big cigar.
Why though the drug stores just a
step,
OF course he'll drive a car.
Oh. golfer you're funny man,
Your Collin work is play,
But you're very lazy cuss
In every other way.
Now don't you make a crack at me,
You see I'm on to you,
know exactly how you feel,
Cause I'm a golfer. too.

TOURING WITHOUT ROAD MAP

yTNHE man who wants to get a good idea OF
i the wav the whole administration re-
coverv program is going to work out can't DO
much else than come back about two years
from now.
The one thing that is clear today is that all
signs fail in a time like the present were
irving something so completely new that the
man who wants to do little prognoStlcatlng
has nothing to so on.
Everything is adrift. and about the only
rrediction that seems safe is that when all the
various blocks have been put together again.
the picture will look like nothing We ever saw
before.
It is for this reason that all the learned
attempts to anaIy1e and diSsect the recovery
program are so contradictory. No two critics
of the program get the same result.
Does the arch-conservative complaints
one did. recently-that it is getting almost
impossible to tell the news from Moscow from
the news from Washington these days?
On another page you can find the arch
radical protesting that the whole business is
lust great Fascist coup designed to enthrone
PRIVILEGED wealth forever.
Does the studious economist prove con-
clusively. with graphs and columns of figures
that the kind of economy represented in the
industrial and agricultural control plans can
not possibly work2
You can find books by equally Studious
economists written before March lasD prov
ing that only through a planned economy
similar to the one now being attempted can
a mechanical modern society survive.
The doctors, in other words. disagree about
as thoroughly IS can be imagined and the
more thoughtful and learned they are, the
more they seem to differ with one another.
And what it all comes down to is the fact
that We are starting out on road so new
that We must make up our maps as We so
along.
That. in turn. brings our democratic So
ciety up against its supreme test. Have We
enough intelligence. enough aptitude for the
science Of politics. enough training in the
business Of self-government, TO carry this ex-
pertinent through successfully?
If you doubt it, you would better start look
ing for a cyclone cellar. But if YOU believe
that We have-and there are good reasons for
so believing-you can face the future with
confidence.

JONES TO THE BANKERS


CTRENUOUs days bring strenuous language.
~ one Of the most pleasing aspects Of the
new deal is the unswathed treatment Of public
questions as compared with the weasel words
OF corrupt and contented times.
Roosevelt. Johnson and Richberg-what
contrast to the mufled and meaningless
phrases Of Coolidge or Harding era!
and now Jesse H. Jones. head of the R. F.
c. talks turkey to the bankers A few of his
shots picked at random, are, to say the least,
refreshing and clear as set over against the
record Of usual platitudes which have charac-
terized the verbiage Of previous ABC con-
ventions
said Jones to the bankers:
The blue eagle should be on the vault door
As well as on the bank window.
..Hoarders of available credit are little bet
ter than hoarders of currency.
Calling loans and forcing liquidation, as
some highly liquid banks have done, and are
still doing, breaks mems hearts, destroys
values. often the savings of lifetime, and
creates unemployment Certainly there is no
reason why this policy should not now be re-
versed by the tightest of the tight.
~One Of the worst sins Of banking in recent
years was the draining of deposits out of our
country banks by investing in securities, for
eign and otherwise Not necessarily bonds of
foreign countries. but securities foreign to the
locality and foreign to good banking principles.
Shall we repeat this, or shall we look more to
the local or home Unit?
Some of you are afraid We will have infia-
ton. and some Of you are afraid we Will not
have initiation After all, it is fear, and ask,
Is it not time that we uncross our fingers and
follow the Presidents lead?
"A man with plenty Of chips can play
better game of poker than one who Is playing
scared or short money. This applies as well
to bankers.
The man who boasts nowadays Of his own
good fortune and tries to belttle or poke the
finger of scorn at his competitor or his brother
who is less fortunate, is a menace to society
Every other business is required to perform
under the NRA-why not banks-au banks?
Not merely by raising the salaries OF few I'M
derpaid clerks, but in providing credit and
performing the normal functions OF bank
1t is easy to say no and if that IS the
program and we want the government to do
our banking. what is to become of our high
priced bank talent? The office boy can say
no.
Be smart for once"

ceptance of the speech
