L. S.-ARGENTINE RELATIONS.

VXTHEN President Roosevelt speaks of i'm
w proving trade relations one of the coun-
tries he has in mind especially is Argentina
He made this clear in his recent economic
conversations with representatives of that
country.
Argentina now responds in kind In his
important United Press interview Saturday,
President Justo declared his government was
ready to sign a trade treaty with the United
States to stimulate business in both coun-
tries He should be assured that the Amer
lean government and people appreciate his
offer Of a reciprocity agreement
Argentina is one of the four or five coun-
tries with which the Roosevelt administration
is most anxious to reach such an economic
accord
1t is perhaps too early to discuss the pro-
spective agreement in detail The state depart
ment has not completed its study of the
Anglo Argentinan trade agreement. President
Roosevelt has not yet received his anticipated
tariff powers from congress-
But Investigations by American govern
ment experts already have gone far enough
to show that there are a number of COM
modities which could be included in reci-
procity agreement. Those commodities how
ever, probably do not include Argentinian
meat, mentioned specifically in the Justo
interview, Revision of our tariff law would
be necessary to lift the mandatory provision
of section BOG, fixing a sanitary embargo
against countries where hoof and mouth
disease and certain other animal diseases
exist
Revision of our tariff law is not imprac-
ticable, in the judgment of the administration,
during the special session of congress and be-
fore the world monetary and economic con-
ference.
Perhaps later the power of fixing sanitary
embargoes can be made discretionary with
the agricultural department on zone basis,
which would facilitate the entry of some
Argentinian meat, especially mutton.
In any event Argentina will find the United
States ready to meet her more than half
way in a trade treaty. President Justo's appeal
for collaboration which will prevail over
economic nationalism is in complete unison
with the doctrine repeatedly voiced by Secre-
tary of State Hull.
The fact that Argentina is one of the few if
not the only South American government 10
maintain payments on it's foreign obligations
during these hard times has given it high
reputation in this country. On the basis of
ministrations should he able to work out
trade treaty of reciprocal benefits for these
two sister American republics

LINDBERGH IN COURT

a MERICA is so familiar with the facts
of the Lindbergh kidnapping case that
most people could recite them backward or
forward And yet in Washington last week
lawyers and the court had Colonel Charles
A. Lindbergh submit once more to the agony
Of telling of the CHASTITY tragedy. reciting all
the heart-rending details before crowd that
damned the court chamber
Did you ever see him alive again?" Colonel
Lndbergh was asked No" Did you ever
see him dead?" "I did"
Such testimony has been put into court
records time ard again since the kidnapping.
Yet stiff and uncompromising rules and
habits of legal practice, plus the fact of The
many different legal jurisdictions in this
country, bring about the preparation of such
useless legalistic torture as that inflicted upon
the father of the kidnapped and brutally muir
dered Charles A Lindbergh Jr

it comedies that when states and communities
carry out this function the federal government
must help.
It took three terrible years to teach the
country these lessons. In face Of statistics
proving the breakdown Of private charity. in
spite Of the pleadings of relief bodies, may
ors and Governors, the former administration
stood stubbornly against this bill
Testimony before congress last winter
proved how tragcally inadequate was the COM
promise loan fund under the politically
manned R. F. c. Harry L. Hopkins, New
York state chairman of emergency relief, tes-
tilted that American families were failing to
receive the relief they required
The half billion dollars for relief may not
suffice to keep the wolf from 100000 doors
next winter. But with work relief and other
administration depression remedies, it is hoped
that there will be much less unemployment by
the time this fund is exhausted.

TOPHEAVY RAILROADS

A T Salt Lake City during the campaign,
n Mr.. Roosevelt said that it was time for
the topheavy financial structures of the rail-
roads to be overhauled. This is the aim Of one
section Of the pending bill 1t provides that
the new co-ordinator shall promote financial
reorganizations, and that henceforth the inter
state commerce commission shall exert gov
ernmental pressure on borrowing carriers to
make them bring about fiscal readjustments.
Organized labor believing these provisions
are not strong enough now suggests that the
co-ordinator be empowered to promote and
bring about financial reorganizations and that
railroads which decline to scale down their
fixed charges be denied the benefits of the
administrators plan
If the federal government is to smooth the
path for railroad rehabilitation, permitting
and bringing about economies that will de-
fate labor, the railroads should be willing to
debate capital in cases where necessary.
Commissioner Eastman apparently believes
that the provisions in the original bill are suf-
ficient and that there is some misunderstand-
ing about the need for financial reorganiza-
tons among the carriers as whole.
Certainly we agree with him when he says
that railroads fixed charges can not be scaled
down overnight by the waving of govern
ment wand
But we also believe with labor that the
present bill should start the reorganizations.
If the original language of the bill is not
strong enough to accomplish this congress well
might add amendments. The government
should help to squeeze the water out of rail-
road capitalization

TWENTY-FIRST AMENDMENT

MIR. sHOUsE, Mrs. sabin, and other wet
Iva leaders warn that the repeal war of
1884 can be lost through overcon1dence.
Too many Americans believe that with the
winning of beer the fight for temperance is
over. It just has begun.
Victory went to the repeasts in the first
skirmishes. All three states which have held
conventions so far have ratified the twenty
first amendment Michigan's convention voted
for repeal SO to l. Wisconsin and Rhode
Island repealed unanimously. Today Wyoming
votes and tomorrow New Jersey. New York,
Delaware, and Nevada also vote this month.
All of these, with the possible exception of
Delaware, are expected to ratify.
But the repeasts must win in thirty-six
states while their enemies need win in only
thirteen. This year thirty-four more states
may hold conventions. Out of the thirty
seven possible conventions in 1888, seventeen
are in states that the drys long have claimed.
These are Delaware Indiana Iowa, New
Hampshire West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas,
Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, Vermont, Maine,
Idaho Utah, the two Carolinas and Ohio,
cradle of the Anti-Saloon League. All these
will be scenes of bitter conflicts.
To win this year, the repealists can afford
to lose in only one of them
1t would be folly to belittle the strength of
the embattled drys. They have lost heavily,
even in church circles, but their leaders are
clever So far they have been able to prevent
the legislatures or Governors of five states
from calling conventions.
A magazine that queried the forty-eight
Governors as to their states intentions found
that twenty-three predicted ratification; four
predicted reflections; twenty-one refused to
guess
The Anti-Saloon League claims the new
beer has no kick to it. The repealists will be
foolish if they assume the same thing about
the Anti-Saloon League

THE most important problem of
Il the twentieth century is the
problem of The old. If we solve
that, we shall find many others
happily settled also.
In Napoleon'S time the average
man died at 33. With us, the So
year-old man is a mere boy. Women
then did not live as long as men;
today We live longer.
All Of which must be considered
when We discuss the duties of the
individual to society. It's more than
stupid to apply yesterdays rules to
the puzzles Of today. They never
will work. Everything has changed
and human relationships therefore
are not the same. Life is more com
pick and swifter than before.
And it is literally true that mil
lions Of women nowadays live long
past yhe child-bearing age. Mother
hood may be their vocation in earli-
er life, but if they wish to be happy
old women, they must have some
avocation for their later years.

that her sole interest should be her

DEPRESSION BRINGS SOCIAL
CHANGES

THE price may be pretty high but the de-
L preston at least is leading the federal
government to tackle lot of jobs that re-
formers have been urging fruitlessly for
years.
These jobs are being attempted in the hope
that they will put men back to work, smooth
out the rough places on the road to recovery
and allay social unrest.
Some people have been advocating them
for long time-and, for their pains, have
been denounced as radicals, Missionaries and
impractical theorists
Now there is every indication that most
of these jobs will be done, not because the
country is wholly sold on them in theory, but
because any club is good enough to hit the
depression with
First of all, there is the matter of city
slums.
For years social workers and others have
been telling us that bad housing is a cancer
in municipal life. They proved their case
over and over again, but we never did any
thing about it.
Now it is evident that hundreds of millions
are to be spent on slum clearance plans-not
because we at last have awakened to the men
ace of the slum, but because we see that
this is good way to start money circulating
and give men jobs
Then there is the much talked-of plan by
which industry and the government would
join forces to check overproducton, spread
work, install shorter hours eliminate sweat
shops and adopt minimum wage scales
Social reformers have trumpeted the need
of these steps for years. Intelligent business
men have urged them, labor leaders have
dreamed of them--and now we're about to
adopt them not because they are good in
themselves, but because adopting them may
help to restore prosperity.
There is, also, Muscle Shoals. Ever since
the war handful of men has tried to make
it the basis for a great governmental expert
ment in power productions laboratory in
which some profoundly important theories
about industry, agriculture and public utility
management could be tested.
This experiment is at last to be made
because of the depression.
Reforestation on a huge scale is being at
tempted because of the depression. Govern
mental economy has become a fact because
of the depression. We are approaching COM
mon sense attitude on tariffs because of the
depression
We are getting a new slant on the need
for intelligent international co-operation-for
the same reason.
Nothing in recent history is stranger than
the way the depression has brought round
about victory to the reformers.

ME more one hears about the way child
workers are treated in some manufac-
turing plants, the more horrible the whole
business seems.
Latest reports from certain Pennsylvania
shops show that more than 10000 children
under the age Of 16 in the Pittsburgh district
are working in clothing sweat shops for 81 to
SO a week.
The sixty-hour week is common, and these
little workers get fined regularly from 10 cents
to $3.50 for making mistakes"
Nor are these conditions peculiar to Penn
sylvania. The National Child Labor commit
tee can tell you about other sweat shops in
Connecticut, Louisiana, and Utah; it cites, as
an example, sweat shops in New Haven where
children of IA and Is work for 81 a week.
1t still is possible for the states to ratify
the child labor amendment. After reading
these reports, it is hard to be patient with the
amendments opponents.

PEGGY TELLS HER STORY

XNHEN little Peggy McAath returned to
school the other day, after conclusion
of her kidnapping experience, there was a neat
little demonstration OF the operation of a bit
Of child psychology.
The teachers, quite properly, asked the
other children not to talk TO ner about the
kidnapping, so that the youngster could get
back to normal existence as soon as possible.
The children promised-but as soon as recess
time came all promises were forgotten.
Peggy Immediately became the center of an
excited and interested group of school chill
dren, and she had to tell and retelI her story
until every child had heard it,
Couldn't any one who ever went to school
have guessed it? And don't you suppose that
the fun Of being the heroine and the excite
ment Of having an absorbing story to tell
made the Gay a red-letter one for Peggy?

TINE young man who kidnapped Margaret
L NIcNIath and collected 100000 for her return
was not criminal by training or inclination.
Neither did he bear the McMathS any grudge.
What he wanted and all that he wanted,
was money with which to save his home. Steal
ing rich mans child struck him as the easiest
way to get it. DiStraught parents, holding law
enforcement officers at arms length promising
immunity and paying over huge sums of cash
made bad impression on his weak mind.
If he had made a successful getaway, more
weak minds would have been inspired to try
the trick
Massachusetts, authorities have done this
country q real service. kidnapping has become
altogether too fashionable for comfort. Upset
fathers, ready to pay without question, are
mainly responsible.
While one can sympathize with their feel
ings their attitude toward crime and society
must be recognized as dangerous.
No citizen has the right to help make any
kind of crime profitable, and that is what
ransom and promises of immunity do. There
are thousands of potential kidnapers in the
United States-young men and women driven
to despair by loss Of work, property, and pros
poets.
There are thousands of weak minds cropping
for way out Of their difficulties, ready for any
scheme which promises quick cash, naturally
envious of those still able to live in ease.
THE way certain kidnapping cases have been
i handled is little less than an open invitation
to come and get it. Kenneth Buck never would
have thought Of stealing Margaret McNAath but
for the things he had read and heard. Her
fathers reaction shows that he had sized up
the situation correctly.
The police were requested to lay off, while
secret negotiations were opened with the kid
napers They could depend on getting a rea-
sonable ransom and on being given forty
eight-hour start Of the law.
The United States soon would become a hot
bed Of child-stealers if such attitude prevailed.
1t is regarded as little short of that right now
reputation Of wealth combine to make life
miserable.
Under such circumstances, it is necessary for
people to recognize their social obligation Every
child ransomed, every escaped kidnaper, every
case in which authorities fail, only sets dozen
traps.
IN the end we must fall back on efficient
police protection as the one sure remedy.
That can not be had If parents prefer to act
independently and pay.
The unacceptable consequences of compound
ing felorleS is ruled by felons We are having too
much Of that. Paying crooks has done more to
develop gang control and racketeering than any
single factor
We have gone very far in advertising our
fear OF criminals on the one hand and our lack
OF faith IN constituted authority on the other.
That is not the way TO get around corruption
or incompetence on the part of law enforcement
officers
1t is not the way to make life safe, or i'm
prove conditions. Our one way out is to work
Tor courts and police officers that We can trust.

JUST IN TIME

.THE Costigan-La Toilette hunger act, pro-
yiding s5OOOOOoOo in relief grants to the
states passed just in time.
The anti-hunger war chest of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation is nearly empty.
Only 2,456, 900 remains out of the $500 900 900
loan fund voted last July Pending applica-
tons would have depleted this fund before the
end of May.
The new measure is five times bigger than
any direct relief fund ever voted by our gov
eminent 1t provides for federal control and
administration by experts of relief grants to
states 1t assumes for the central govern
ment the burden of feeding and Sheltering
those new interstate wards of the public, the
wandering, homeless youths.
1t acknowledges what every relief worker
has known for years. that the care OF the des-
titute is a primary social function, not pri-
yats indulgence Of kind-hearted givers. And
