of foreign policy is invariably restricted
by such inexcuSable blunders by sub

Besides, it is not compatible with the
dignity of the Reich and the national

WASHINGTON OF 1888

FORREST DAVIS points out that as the
L Revolution OF 1776 shifted power from
England to the colonies, so today We are in
the midst Of another American revolution by
which power is being shifted from Wall Street
to the government at Washington, bringing
business for the first time in our history,
under real government control.
In this revolution of 1893, Franklin D.
Roosevelt may play the role of a second
Washington. Washington declir1ed to follow
the European tradition, but established an
American one.
He refused the crown He did not exploit
Selling irresponsible power and royal grandeur
as Napoleon later did in France.
Roosevelt genuine Democrat that he is,
may create a tradition no less important than
that established by Washington. AS Washing
ton set America clearly apart and ahead of
Europe, so may Roosevelt
The kind of dictatorship" upon which
Roosevelt has embarked is not the denial, but
the fulhllment, of democracy. The people are
strong and powerful only as their government
is strong and powerful.
To fear that peoples government may be
too strong is to fear that the people will be
too strong-and that is just what some re-
dictionaries, Directing to the Roosevelt die
tatorship," do fear
With expansion of the activities and pow
ers of government in the regulation and even
operation of business and industry, free
speech free press the right of criticism, and
.o-tlo;
tive electorate at free elections is more neces-
sary than it ever was when governments
effect on the life of its citizens was small.
With these correctives, dictatorship" can
become efficient government; without them it
would degenerate into inefficient bureaucracy
and we would decay.
Americans are superficial indeed, who, OBJ
serving how dictatorship in Russia Italy and
Germany has resulted in the collapse of de-
mocracy in those countries, conclude that the
strengthening of government in this country
must be followed by similar result.
They fail to see that in those countries
democracy never had taken deep root, much
less matured as it has in America
When the city manager movement came
to give American cities effective, strong, CEN
tradzed government, its reactonary critics
cried that it meant the end of rule of the
people.
Experience has proved that, instead of the
end it was the beginning of genuine peoples
rule. So in the much larger sphere of federal
government, we look to President Roosevelt
to prove that the exercise of vast powers by
the nations chosen chief not only is splendid
fer the people, but more truly than ever
before, Of them and by them.

WITHOUT POORHOUSES

Tor the aged and friendless poor, there used
to be only one road to take. That was
the road Over the Hill to the Poorhouse. To-
day, thanks to an able and persistent cam
paign by labor and social workers, that way
of sorrow is closed in half the states of the
Union.
report by the American Association for
Old Age Security reveals:
Since January eight states have Joined the
pension parade. In ALL twenty-four states,
covering AZ per cent of the nations population.
have adopted pension laws In eighteen Of
these states the laws are mandatory upon
the counties.
This month Ohio may adopt the pension
system, and thus a majority of states will have
built for their aged poor new and pleasanter
highways toward the setting SUM-
Although half the states have acted, the
problem of old age security, unhappily. is not
half solved. Normally there are 5000 900
Americans past IS, of whom fully 1900 900 are
dependent upon charity
If all pension states provided security for
their aged poor, 65 years and over, the bene-
ficiarieS would total only 100000 The $4,000
destitute old folks in non pension states still
must tread the thorny road.
AS matter of fact most of the pension
states provide only for those past TO- Further
more since it is in the less progressive states
that the majority of the needy aged live, the
fight in these states will be harder.
Federal aid can win quick and complete
pension victory. The Dill-Connery bill for
government aid to states on a $3.50 basis
would bring all states under the pension prin-
ciple, and set uniform age limit at S. 1t
would cost the government less than s5OOoo.-
900 year.
Some day the wealthy United States will
guarantee economic security to all its citizens.
Since old age pensions are cheaper than poor
houses, and since we long have accepted re-
sponsibility for care of the aged poor. the
wisdom of the federal aid law is clear. Espe-
cially, since the progressive states have met
the government halfway.

TARIFF TRUCE
a sCRTPPs-HOwARD NEWsPAPER

A T home and abroad the Roosevelt ad-
ministration is making it's fight against
tariffs and other trade barriers Secretary of
State Hull, whose long congressional career was
struggle against high tariffs, has carried this
battle into the United States Chamber of
Commerce
He warned the chamber convention this
week to fear the policy of extreme isolation
as the greatest danger to world peace and as
more seriously threatening the world with
bankruptcy than war itself"
On the foreign front, the administration
has proposed a tariff truce pending outcome
Of the world monetary and economic con-
ference meeting next month
Unfortunately, other governments are not
cooperating as thoroughly as they might.
Perhaps we should not be too harsh in our
judgment of the Others since it was we who
infected most of them with the high tariff
disease.
Many of the foreign tariff walls were built
in self protection and retaliation against our
declarations of economic war during past adj
miniStrations
After making such allowances, however, it
still is somewhat difficult to understand
British and French policies, for instance In
accepting the Presidents tariff truce proposal,
France has attached reservations. And Great
Britain has rushed through a trade agreement
with Argentina which appears to contain all
kinds of jokers aimed to destroy United States
trade.
Under ordinary circumstances no one would
be surprised by these evidences of trade war.
But they occur Immediately after Prime Min
lister Macdonald has visited the White House
to pledge cooperation in an economic peace.
something is wrong somewhere.
1t is all very we'll to talk in optimistic
generalities about the anticipated success of
the world monetary and economic conference
But if the nations are not even willing to re-
spect an armistice what is the use of holding
a peace conference?
That applies not only to the British trade
maneuvers but also to Great Britains efforts
to control the foreign price of the dollar at
level harmful to the United States.
Too many international conferences in the
past have made conditions worse rather than
better, precisely because of the various govern
ments scramble for advantage.
If the next six weeks are to be used by the
governments to increase monetary chaos and
to erect more trade barriers, the world none
tary and economic conference will fail.
Acceptance and observance of the Roose-
welt truce is essential to the conferences sue
cess.

viii buy nothing, sell nothing, and pay
nothing"
You see thousands Of school teachers pa
rading the streets of Chicago with such angry
vehemence that police have to club them
back into lne-teachers who have been paid
irregularly for five years and not at all for
seven months.
You see 1000 ex-service men arriving in
Washington as the advance guard Of what
they say will be a group of half million
men to demand a cash bonus to relieve their
distress.
And lastly, you find witnesses and mem
bers Of congress openly discussing before a
congressional committee the possibility of
revolution in the United States
That, then, is the background for the dis
cussions at Washington In front of that
background, nice theoretical arguments about
the ACCESSIBILITY of this or the practicability of
that become futile. One fact emerges too
big and robust to be overlooked:
Something must be done, it must be done
very soon, and it must be something drastic,
far reaching, bold, and determined. If we are
not to have imitation, minimum wage laws,
vast public works programs and so on, we
must have something else and the men who
oppose those things must offer some pretty
concrete suggestions. Furthermore they must
offer them quickly.

M.E.Tracy Says:

ROY1NG power IS not wholly matter of cash
~ or income. good deal depends on indi-
Vldual attitude and prevailing custom
Many people are discovering that they can
get along without a lot of things which they once
regarded as essential. It is to be feared that
some are discovering that they can get along
without work
Three years of depression have made all of
us a little cautious. The idea of putting some
thing aside for the proverbiaI rainy day never
was more popular than it is right now
OF equal if not greater Importance is the
growing oelef that the present setup precludes
the possibility that people, especially young peo-
pie, can do very much by or for themselves.
The time has ceased they are told, when d
young man or young woman can meet the eco
nomic problem alone
waiting posture is the logical result, with
lncalculable numbers thoroughly sold on the
theory that they can do little to help them
selves or anybody else until the signs are right
in high places
Lack OF ambition to achieve on ones own &C
count has direct bearing on what to buy and
whether it should be bought now
EVEN if work and wages of the 1928 level
II were restored, it probably would be long
time before the buying power of that boom
period returned
There are grounds for arguing that it never
would return and that we only would be headed
for another depression if it did, which implies
that certain degree of readjustment is in
order.
In the first place, a saving mood or, if you
prefer, boarding mood has come to be quite
fashionable
In the second some of our major industries
have been affected permanently by introduc-
ton of substitutes. Coal, for instance. gradually
is succumbing to OIL while the steel market has
suffered definite loss through the decline of
railroads
The railroad decline has been brought about
oy the automotive vehicle, hard-surfaced high
way, pipeline, water transport and super
power plant
No matter what happens, we shall not re-
establish our industrial system as it was before
the slump and our buying power will not fol-
low the same channels
IF anything, we probably are due for even
more revolutionary inventions and innova-
tions. The very strain of the situation is fore
ing our ingenuity to seek new outlets for cap
ital and labor, new appliances with which to
open up new markets. and new enterprises with
which to absorb the surplus energy.
1t goes without saying that work must be
provided and price ana wage levels lifted. Under
existing conditions, We are not able to pay our
way much less promote new ventures
Whether we should begin by arbitrarily
cheapening the dollar, the dollar must be cheap
ened in comparison to labor and commodity
values before we can make any real start to-
ward recovery.
The load of debt only is not driving us to-
ward bankruptcy, but is creating frame of
mind which is ready to play safe at any cost
Such frame of mind does not lend itself to
buying power, except where the veriest neces-
sites are concerned.

WINNING THE PULITZER PRIZE
Trom the New York World telegram

CFrom the New York WOrld-Telegram)
THE World-Telegram is doubly proud Of
the honor that comes to it in the award
of the Pulitzer prize for the most disinter-
ested and meritorious public service rendered
by an American newspaper during the year
1892
Our pride is double in the sense that we
feel the fighting traditions of two great news
paper groups are honored and encouraged by
the award. For the merging of the Telegram
with the World and the Evening World in 1881
brought together the crusading journalism of
two famous newspaper founders-E. w.
Scripps and Joseph Pulitzer.
Both these founders were born fighters.
Both believed newspaper should not be con-
tent with merely printing the news but also
constantly should attack injustice expose
wrongs be a militant leader in the cause of a
truly progressive democracy. Both imbued
their newspapers with this active faith and
purpose
So highly did the elder Joseph Pulitzer rate
militant public service among the functions
of a newspaper that he put this award at the
top of his prize list. The World won it in 1922
for exposing the operations of the Ku-Klux
Khan, and again in 1924 for the exposure of the
Florida peonage evil.
The Evening World won it in 1929 for its
campaign to correct certain evils in the adj
m.nistration of justice in New York City The
indianapolis Times, a Scrpps-Howard news
paper, won it in 1928 for exposing political cor
ruption in Indiana.
The Word-T Telegram now wins this prize
"for its articles on veterans relief, on the real
estate bond evil, its campaign urging voters in
the last New York municipal election to write
in the name of Joseph v. Mckee and its ar
ticles exposing the lottery schemes of various
fraternal organizations
I'VE take additional pride in the number
and diversity of the services thus listed by the
Columbia university trustees in the award.
Just after the merger which created the
World-Telegram, Roy w. Howard, in defining
this newspapers policy, said:
ut is obvious that the need for independent
editorial utterance and effort never was greater
in the days of E. w. ScrippS and Joseph
Pulitzer ST.. than it is today.
injustice, corruption, and greed challenge
the efficacy of our social structure as boldly
today as at any other time in our history"
To carry forward its twofold Journalistic
heritage and tradition was. the World-Tele-
grams first pledge to its readers. The Column
bia School of Journalism award encourages us
TO believe we have not been false to that
pledge and that We are on the right track for
the future.
We shall strive to keep up and even better
the pace.
