Faith Expressed IN Ne10 Deal

scribed cheerfully to the New Deal,
which is in compliance with the
constitutional provisions for JUS
tice so all may have liberty.
The New Deal has put men back
to work, started the wheels OF
industry turning and put new
sense of hope and confidence in
the hearts of all. 1t inspires us
to believe that we are strong
enough, rich enough and fair
enough to help ourselves and our
neighbors regain our proud and
rightfuI place in commerce, indus
try and agriculture.
The vision Of better times is
ahead. The responsibility now
facing us is the determination to
pull together and to give aid in
a common cause; all should want
to see the nation get back on its
feet and everybody prosper again.
Naturally, we would all share in
any prosperity that comes to the
nation as a result of cooperating
with the heroic efforts put forth
by President Roosevelt and his CO.
workers.

THE senate munitions committee recesses
until late fau. with a sea Of headlines in
lis wake. aside from the lesser sensations Of
bribery, lobbying. excess profits. army-navy
aid 70 arms exporters and so Oh. what abuses
has the committee shown to be in need Of
corrective acuon2
Prom the viewpoint Of national defense
IL mas been proved that American manu-
facturcrs help perfect the munitions plants Of
potential American enemies, and that the
army and navy permit manufacturers TO use
their secret specifications 10 making weapons
for foreign powers.
Regarding interference with American
foreign policy. IL has been demonstrated:
That munitions lobbyists have fought arms
embargoes. and then tried to circumvent such
embargoes by passing South American war
orders along TO British allies;
That Americans have helped equip insur-
rcctions against friendly powers;
That they have complained bitterly against
the "fomenting Of peace" in South America,
and against the perncious activities Of the
state department" in seeking to pacify Latin
belligerents;
That they have nouted the Treaty Of
Versailles by helping put Nazi Germany on
something approximating a wartime basis in
the air
As to the charge that Americans are part
and parcel Of an "arms internationale," the
committee showed IN black and white that
du Pont and Britains Imperial Chemical IN
dustries divided the world explosives trade be-
tween them. and that the Electric Boat Com
pany and vickers-Armstrong engaged in a
similar partitioning Of the world market for
submarines.
That the cause Of peace was specifically
and Immediately damaged by the high
pressure. arms statesmen was amply proved. In
South America particularly the committee
had evidence OF arms agents fitting between
the capitals Of warning powers. egging one on
against the other with reports of rivals pur-
chases.
The United States navy itself, through
naval mission to Peru. charted a naval policy
for that nation. and then assigned to neigh
boring Colombia a naval officer who mapped
Colombias defense against peril.
MANY of the munitions men were obvious
IN honest. upright. patriotic men-accordihg
10 their lights. Others left the impression OF
plain money-grabbers with no concern at all
for the consequences Of their sordid vocation.
But personal and business recitude can not
exempt them from their share Of the blame
for state Of affairs in which foreign policy
and military strategy are sometimes dictated
almost rs much from Wilmington or New
York as from Washington.
The Nve committee is doing a good job.
But the job is just begun. When the COM
mittee resumes its sessions it should reveal
the relation Of steel and other industries to
tre munitions racket.
The solution rests with congress. Whether
it be by naturalization Of munitions plants
by licensing Of exports. by international pacts'
or some other method. We shall have to curb
Mountaineering for profit if we want peace.

BILBO OF THE BAYOUS

Out Of the backwoods Of Mississippi comes
~ Theodore Gilmore Bilbo, hell-bent for the
United States senate
Nothing can stop him. He's the Democratic
nominee in a Democratic state, and if that
isn't enough he's out flat-footed for the plain
people, especially the veterans. In more than
1000 speeches he has told EN- so.
The rise of Bilbo CT the Bayou state is
another success story. From the time he was
born in Juniper Grove he has been "diligent
in his business" and therefore destined to
stand before kings. He worked himself up
from school teacher, preacher, lawyer and
Governor to a niche in Washington. Last
year he was discovered working in the agri-
culture department clipping newspapers at
$4,000 a year. Like Sir Joseph in Pinafore,
who so carefully polished the handle of the
big front door that he got to be ruler of the
queens Navee, this hero clipped so we'll that
now he is to be a senator at $4,000 a year,
less per cent.
Neighbor Huey Long, whom the Mississippi
statesman initiates, had better look to his
laurels as a disturber of the senate peace.
Bilbo has promised Ito raise more hell than
Huey"-a big order.
The senate will have a lot of serious work
to do next winter and, doubtless, will not
applaud the Long and Bilbo act.

Capital CaperS

Il German ambassador, whizzed back to
Washington from Boston by airplane the
other day.
The solid doorman at the embassy mar
veled at the buoyant way Herr DOktor Luther
leaped from his machine He seemed merry as
a cricket. Dressed in a gray sports suit, he
rubbed his hands, chuckled, greeted his staff
with much popularity.

In sprightly fashion, he recounted the way
he presented to Roscoe Pound dean of the Har-

And he answered me in German" eX-
claimed Luther, his eyes twinkling.
Really, Mr.. Ambassador"
"Jal -. And later we sat down to a real
German dinner"
The tantalizng odor of red cabbage Cor
was it sauerkraut? was waited to Luther's
nostrils from the embassy dining room. Pale
Munich beer glistened temptingly in tall cry
stall goblets on the dining table At exactly
such a meal had Roscoe Pound presided
Herr Luther inhaled the fragrance with
delight.
"Jal j. "A real German meal Well

EVERYBODY WORKS
IN THIS FAMILY

By o. B.
We have of late read much about
the chiseler and this column has
been full of "beefs" about this and
that until one wonders just where
common horse sense really is prac-
ticed.
There is a man working at the
Real Silk, as does his wife, and he
is trying to run a blue sky garage
at his home. working until very late
at night and Sundays and in the
rain at times. He runs cars up and
down the alley at high speeds test
ing brakes, ETC., creating a hazard
for children who play in the alley.
This couple stayed at home dur
ing the strike, but was kept well in
formed as to when it was safe for
them to come to work again by some
official Of the company in exchange
for some work on his car.
Now the president Of Real Silk
has made it known repeatedly that
the company pays the best of wages
and the working conditions are the
best and therefore the strike was
caused by Communists or some
thing and yet this man has to be
assisted by his wife working and
also has to resort to working hak
the night on automobiles to make a
living.
1t would appear that if Mr.. Good
mans statements are correct there
would be no need for the wife work.

on autos.

The capital punishment law be-
longs to the dark ages. We know
that we must have laws to combat
crime, but the present law fails to
eradicate the cause. 1t only inten-
SITES the suffering and brings
shame upon us.
When Governor Lehman issued
his 500-word statement endeavoring
to vindicate himself for the execu-
ton Of Mrs. Antonio, he left out
the fact that his state gave him
power to issue a reprieye or tc COM
mute The sentence. His hands were
stained with the blood Of Mrs An
tonic, and her children. He knew
it, and was thus publicly washing
his hands"
In my opinion, no water can
ever wash the blood from the hands
of those who made such law.
This law does nothing other than
premediate. carefully plan and enact
in grim reality, a murder. The
murder of the wicked f1end, COM
mitted in moment Of rage or in
sanity, is unlike capital punish
ment.
What is there more horrible than
the newspaper reports Of the mod
ern execution? What message Will
he who is dressed in the black death
suit convey TO the regions beyond?
The electric chair does not get
at the cause, if you look at it in
a social way.
Pontius PLATE lies in his grave
with his wretched hands stained
with the blood Of Jesus Christ. He
too tried to wash his hands, but
miserably failed.
1 am particularly interested in
the Antonio case in New York. I
do not believe the case is ended.
The Court Of Eternal Justice will
rule on it on the Day of Judgment.
There is no cure for murder.
When will We be sensible enough
to realize this fact and make laws
that will cause us to teach the Of
tenders the sacredness Of life? When
will we teach them to regard life
as mans most cherished possession?
I am afraid that such thing would
enter the realm Of perfection, and
on this earth no perfection is known.

URGES REMOVAL OF
SLOT MACHINES
By Mrs. EIdridge

BY Mrs. Eldridge.
In regard to slot machines, I
really think it is time to move them
out of business places.
Persons can say all they wish
about these beer places, but what
about minors playing slot ma
chines-dropping pennies in them
and never getting anything back.
Children 8 and years old play and
persons wonder how children get
the habit of gambling. 1t is nothing
but graft. Who owns these ma
chimes? It looks as though they
would have a mind and conscience
about taking money and giving
nothing in return.

There is at present an excess both
of capital and of labor. Paying more

because it will reduce profits which
is the objective of capital. But pay
ing more to capital will put labor
to work. What is needed for recov-
