SMALL BUSINESS
HELD NEGLECTED
Capper Terms Some N. R. A.
Codes Against Interest
of Minor Industry.

Senator Capper. Republican. Of
Kansas, declared today in an address
he felt the small industries and small
business men were "the forgotten
people Of the new deal" and asserted
that some N. r. A. codes appeared to
be written "in the interest Of big
business and against the interest of
the little business"
1T the abrogation of the anti
trust laws for those who have signed
the codes" he said, means that big
business is going to grow still bigger;
that ownership and control, instead Of
being more scattered over the coun-
try, is going to be centralized still
more-then either Congress made q
terrible mistake in repeating the anti
trust laws for that purpose, or some
one IS making q mistake that amounts
to an economic crime In administering
the codes"
Capper said he understood plans
were practically complete to extend
some credit, through the r. F. C.

Double Dealing Implied.
He implied that the administration
was guilty Of double dealing in not
telling the people before the election
that it intended spending huge sums
and also In not saying something
about reducing veterans compensa-
ton.

the Senator said, you will see no

ment that 1895 would see a balanced
budget, Senator Hastings said that

Predicts Ruin Of Credit.
He predicted that the country's
credit will be ruined by excessive ex-
penditures and the President will be-
gin printing worthless paper money.
He called on the people Of the
country to compel Congress to assert
itself against the President and again
take over its functions which have
been delegated to the Chief Executive.
President Roosevelt was termed .
"clever politician" who goes with the
crowd and stays a little way ahead Of

"But I want to say right now" he
added, that unless the little industry,
the little business man, Is also given
protection against big business and
monopoly, the extension Of credit will
do him more harm than good"
Capper singled out the steel code
for criticism, declaring:
I'm the first place, we thought that
the steel trust completely dominated
the steel industry long before the new
deal and the N. r. A. were born.
But 1t seems that under the codes
written by the steel trust heads, and
to oil intents and purposes which
are being enforced by 'he United
States Government itself, that domi-
nation has simply been extended and
made secure. It Is now legal, it
would seem, where before there was

AN EPIC IN HISTORY

GIVE history plenty of time and it can
- create some shifts in its never-ending
pageant that will leave you gasping.
1t may take thousands of years, but in the
end-from the standpoint OF ironic contrast
the results are worth it.
There are, for instance, those Assyrian
refugees who are about to start on a long mi
grafton from the land of their ancestors to a
colony along the upper reaches of the Amazon,
in Brazil.
These people, a mere handful, have been
living in what now is the country of Iraq.
They are among the most luckess and put
upon of modern peoples. Last summer many
OF them were maSsacred by neighboring
tribesmen, and only action by the League of
Nations is saving them from complete ruin.
Now, under league auspices, a spot has been
found for them in Brazil and they are to be
en- masse as soon as arrangements can be
finished.
And all this surely is one of the strangest
twists that the pageant of history ever has
taken.
For these people are the surviving de-
ScenoantS OF the ASSyrlanS OF Old-the As
Syrians who made their name mighty in the
east, who built great Nineveh, swept down like
destroying angels on such folk as the Israel
ties, and stood for the power and glory of
temporal greatness in all it's splendor.
That was uninaginabIy long ago. The great
city of Nineveh is a heap of sand and clay,
now; the canals with which the Assyrians
turned the bare plains of Asia Minor into
garden spots dried up and disappeared CEN
turtles ago; the very name of what once was
the most powerful nation in the world has
become covered with dust so that it sounds
unreal and very far off when we read about
it in our Bibles or our history books.
And here, astoundingly is a fragment of
that far-away time surviving in the twentieth
century, pitiable aarassed fragment, saved
from complete extinction only by the League
of Nations, and exiled to a far-of jungle to
start life anew!
Of all the strange tales of history, this one
is surely among the strangest

JACKSON'S DAY

PERIODICALLY since jefferson the Ameri-
can people have found it necessary to
turn upon their rulers, drive the exploiters
and money-changers from the capital and
restore representative government.
The leadership Of Andrew Jackson whose
birthday the Democrats celebrate today. was
as timely as that of Franklin Roosevelt. In
many ways. their problems we're similar.
Old Hickory, fresh from his Tennessee
woods, found young America slipping into the
hands of a few and alarmingly powerful
money hierarchy. Hamiltonian plutocracy was
growing. Clay, Biddle and others were making
the country safe for corporate privilege and
the Capitalization of wealth. Jackson tackled
first the nisused bank of the United States,
symbol TO him Of the money power Next he
fought fanatical states rights as represented
in the South Carolina notification revolt
His attacks on pomp and privilege offended
the best families The politicians resented his
brain trust, the kitchen cabinet.
He had to feel his way along strange paths,
and govern, largely, by experiment. He came
into Office an idealist and left it statesman.
He made many mistakes, but timidity was not
one of them. He vas one of the few American
Presidents to leave Office more popular than

MISDIRECTED REVENGE

THE Mississippi legislature has been debat-
- ing a bill which would give the father of
a girl who was attacked by three Negro men
the right to spring the trap when those men
are hanged for their crime.
1t is perfectly easy to understand the SEN
timent back of such a bill. Furthermore, it
can be argued that since the three men are
to be hanged anyway, it can make little diff
ference to them who actually does the hang
ing, so long as 1t IS carried out In the legal
manner.
Nevertheless. it ought to be pointed out
that such a move goes directly opposite to
the whole theory Of the capital punishment
law.
In theory that law has nothing to do with
the motive of revenge. 1t is society's means
of protecting itself.
II it is to be endurable, it must be oper
ated without passion or rancor. To inject
into it the touch Of private vengeance is to
pervert it at its very foundations.

the tariff isn't at first apparent, little re-
Election will make it So
Back Of the whole question of shorter
hours higher wages and unemployment re-
lief stands the question Of markets.
Trade and industry can't expand without
markets that will absorb the goods that are
being made. Under present conditions the
market available to American producers is
not capable of taking all that they have to
sell.
The chief point Of the NFSA is that it is
bascalIy an effort to expand this market.
How is that to be done2 By increasing
consumer purchasing power. And how is that
to be doneP BY spreading employment
through shortening Of work week, which
will make it necessary to hire more men.
Suppose, now that we find it impossible
to do this Suppose that industry is unable
to stand the strain Of such step. What is
the alternative-aSide Of course, from con-
tinuing the enormously expensive work re-
lief program?
The alternative, obviously, would seem to
be to expand the other market-the foreign
one; to increase our exports, in other words.
This can be done in two ways. We can
finance the purchase of our exports by max
ing loans to our foreign customers, as We
did prior to 1929 For time this will work
beautifully.
To be sure, in the end we shant get our
money back; and nation which has had it's
fingers as thoroughly burned by foreign loans
as this nation has isn't apt to welcome such
a step very heartily.
The other way, of course is to buy from
the people who buy from us; to increase our
imports as well as our exports-to lower our
tariff, in plain English.
Do we want to do this? Perhaps not But
if We DON'T We must realize the great i'm
portance of putting through our program
for expanding the domestic market.
One market or the other must be broad
ened. The high tariff man would seem, logi-
cally to be the strongest booster for the
short working week.

GOOD OUT OF EVIL

ONE of the strangest little developments
- of the year seems to be the way in which
our old bogey-man. the Demon Rum, has ap-
peared in the unfamiliar guise of friend and
protector of the poor.
This is happening in the Virgin Islands.
The colonial council there has drawn up
plans for making the rum industry a public
monopoly to rehabilitate the economic life
of the islands
A public corporation is to be formed-if
this plan is adopted-to handle the manufac-
ture of potential maximum of from 100000
to 100000 gallons of rum annually. Profits
will 60 to social and public welfare work.
AS part Of the program, some thousands
of natives will be established on five-and-
ten-acre homestead tracts to produce the
sugar cane from which rum is made.
This plan is expected to do much to re-
store the vanished prosperity of the islands.
But the spectacle of the Demon Rum acting
as a restorer of prosperity is apt TO strike
most of us as tolerably strange.
