THIS GRAVE MENACE"

DERSONS who appreciate the uphill road
that stretches before the senate NUM-
tions investigating committee will welcome the
support pledged by the President in his mes
sage to congress Yesterday. More than one
worthwhile congressional inquiry in the past
has been wrecked by wires pulled through eX-
ecutive departments.
The senate committee is going up against
the strongest and toughest vested interests,
including the arms, steel and chemical indus
tries Some of those interests have used gov
ernments as rocks and people as pawns in an
international game of profits So it is espe-
Cially reasSuring to read the Presidents charge
to the executive departments Ito cooperate
with the committee to the fullest extent"
Senate ratification of the 1925 munitions
trace treaty which the President requested,
would be wholesome gesture now But that
treaty is so full of loopholes, more significance
is to be attached to the Presidents hope that
the coming meeting in Geneva will agree upon
a stronger convention.
1t is difficult to understand why the Presi-
dent failed in yesterdays message to ask for
passage of the pigeon-hoed arms embargo
bill unless he has in mind an even more eff
fcctive measure now in a formative stage.
Even action in relation to the Bolivia Para
quay conflict where American made munitions
deal death on both sides of the Chaco-as pro-
posed in the new Pittman resolution-will not
cover future conflicts.
Out of the worldwide agitation for peace
and sanity, out of our own senates projected
inquiry should come something more than
fine phrases. The menace is great. AS de-
sCrihed by the President:
The peoples of many countries are being
taxed to the point OF poverty and starvation
in order to enable governments to engage in
mad race in armament which, if permitted
to continue, may we'll result in war. This
grave menace to the peace of the world is
due in no small measure to the uncontrolled
activities of the manufacturers and merchants
OF engines of destruction, and it must be met
by the concerted action of the peoples of all
nations"

Milwaukee hosiery mills before the
strike, was called? Did you know
that they are making from S45 to
$50 for work in union mills there?
Did you know that many other
Real Silk graduates are scattered
throughout eastern mills, making
living wages of $50 or better a
week? Yet you would have us be-
lieve that these Real Silk knitters
are not trained and are not compe-
tent.
You had better get a little book
yourself, S. F. H, and read up
little. You might have a better I'M
derstanding of unionism, what it
actually stands for, and how it
works. You might find out that
union knitters could not come in
from one district and take the jobs
Of men in another district, upon
settlement of a strike. The men
who worked before the strike were
competent then and would be COM
petent afterward What do you
think of that? That not only ap-
plies to hosiery workers, but any
other bona -fide labor union, not
company union.

freedom, to see to it well, that the
sacrifice and hardships common to
life and resulting in these privileges
and this freedom shall not have
been in vain.
There are three intolerances listed
in the history of man. The intoler-
ance of laziness. intolerance Of ig-
norance and the intolerance Of self
interest.
The three combined will drag any
individual or group down until they
become defeatists, 1t is my opinion
that the Associated Business Build
ers represent a small group of radi-
cal element of local business men
who are activated largely by the in
tolerance of self interest and are
therefore intolerant Of anything op-
posed to their own interests. Just
a squad of typewriter Cossacks.

Each one which the writer

SUGGESTION OFFERED
FOR SILVER PROGRAM
By Edward Barker.

By Edward Barker.
To President Roosevelt:
AS loyal supporter and admirer,
bear with me while I offer sugges-
ton respecting the buying Of silver
with the purpose of putting the gov
eminent on a bimetallic basis.
Personally, I am against any in
trinsic value basis for our circulat-
ing medium; but, if you must have
such basis, I agree that silver
should be used with gold, to broaden
the base.
And here comes my reason for ad-
dressing you. notice that the gov
eminent intends to pay for the sill
yer with gold; this may be, and
would be, an improvement over the
single gold standard. but why not
pay for the silver with government
paper money which would have the

NOT so HONORABLE

INVESTIGATING committees Of both houses
Of congress have fled reports on bank
ruptcy practices in the federal courts that re-
veal a shortage Of plain old-fashioned honor
among their honors. certain Of our federal
judges.
The senate committee delved in California
It found that in three cities federal judges
had allowed receivership and bankruptcy fees
totaling in two and a half years more than
than s9OOOOOO; in San Francisco and Los
Angeles counties in two years judges disDurseo
IN fees and other administrative expenses 43
per cent Of all receipts Of the bankrupt con-
Germs; estates in distress were burdened with
expenses that amount virtually to a conhsca-
ton OF the rights Of creditors
One federal judge granted s497 in re-
ownership fsee for every 81 paid in by creditors.
The senate committee also branded as 'un-
considerable" methods used in a voluntary
scheme before Judge Frank NorcroSs Of Ne
vada now facing the senate for confirmation
to the United States circuit of appeals
The house committee went cunning in
Chicago. There it found Federal Judge Charles
f. Woodward repeatedly naming as counsel
for roceiverships the law firm in which his son
was employed. Out of twenty-seven equity re-
ceiverships handled by this judge, young
Woodlands firm was employed in nine at fees
totaling 1923 ,889. The judges son started with
this favored firm in 1927 at a S25 weekly
salary; in 1882 he earned $16,4l2 in salary
and commissions on business he brought in.
Judge James H. Wilkerson, whom Hoover
tried to promote, also comes in for criticism
by the committee. The house judiciary COM
mittee. in fact, is considering Impeachment
proceedings against three out of four Chicago
judges whose receivership records are de-
scribed in the report.
Present receivership and bankruptcy prac-
tees cry aloud for reform At best they are
inefficient. costly and unfair TO creditors and
shareholders; at worst they are shot with
nepotism. favoritism and malpractice. Federal
legislation is needed to protect creditors from
the greed of administrators and conserve dis
tressed estates seeking court relief.
But vastly more important than more laws
are more scrupulously honest judges. The
President can not be too careful in picking
nominees for the federal bench, and the SEN
ate can not be too careful in its combinations.

AN UNHEALTHY TRADE

THE way Of the criminal not always is hard
in this country, but can be made so If
the whole nation puts its mind TO it. And the
gentry who kidnap for a living are finding
that America has put its mind to the business
of making their brutal trade unhealthy
Kidnapers are not getting away with it.
In Los Angeles the three confessed kidnapers
of William Gettle found themselves or the
way to state prison for life twenty-four hours
after their capture. Early arrest of little

iredemptive silver security, rather
than pay out gold for the silver you
buy?
AS I understand, the meaning of
all the discussion about our money
or dollar, is the fact that the dollar
has become too dear. Would not
the issuance Of government non
interest bearing certificates have the
effect of making money more plenti-
full and therefore cheaper?
Why buy silver with gold when
you can buy it with paper money
which would be backed by the very
silver you buy?
In line with this idea, it follows
that it would also be wise with this
same money to redeem the out
standing interest bearing bonds pre-
viously issued. The money you re-
deem the bonds with would have the
same security the bonds now have.
the credit of the government, plus
the enlarged gold and silver basis.
The idea of a redemptive feature
for the money Of our government is
but a relic or inheritance Of a period
in history, when most governments
were unstable and the timid citizen
wished for a storm cellar to rush to
in case of the cyclone of revolu-
ton.
Such a fear has no reason for ex~
istence today with a stabilized gov
eminent such as ours, with its tax
ing powers and the power eminent
domain.
With a conservative people, such
as ours, and a stable government,
all the quality and security needed
back of our money, is the promise
of the government that it shall be
accepted in payment Of ali public
and private debts.

COMMUNICATIONS CONTROL

THE senate has displayed judgment in its
- approach to the problem of regulating
communications. 1t has voted for new COM
mission to study the industry
Maybe mergers of telegraph companies
would be in the public interest. But they should
not be permitted until nonpartisan body has
studied the financial labor and all other
phases of such a proposition. DR.. w. M w.
Splawn in his report to the house interstate
and foreign commerce committee made a good
case for strict regulation of the telephone
monopoly; but laws for such regulation should
come only after further study.
The senate communications bill provides
for these studies before permanent legislation
is enacted. The bill, also, is in accord with
President Roosevelt's message asking co-or-
dination of regulation under single COM
mission.
The speed with which the senate passed
the bill indicates the house, too, may act
quickly. In the public interest it should.

PANAMA DISPUTE
S|GN|F F|CANCE VAST
Rejection of U. S. Check
May Prove Basis for
Wide Controversy.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 2.-The acting
hScal agent of the Republic of
Panama yesterday said he had been
instructed not to accept the United
States Governments check for $780,
600 IN payment Of this country's OBJ
legation under the Canal Zone treaty
Of 1904.
John Foster Dulles, acting as the
Central American governments fiscal
agent In the absence Of Thomas Mel
son Cromwell, said he had received
the check from Washington on
Monday.
Dulles was unable to explain the
motive behind Panama's instructions.
but In financial circles 1t was believed
Panama intended to demand payment
In gold.
Cromwell is in France and Dulles
recently returned from Berlin where
he represented American houses of
Issue In negotiating with the Reichs-
bank . program Of interest payments
on German dollar bonds.
Financial circles believed that
Panama's action might be the first
step In . controversy Of international
importance.
Under the Panama Canal treaty,
Evening star., 1934-03-02

ratified In 1904, the United States
agreed to pay Panama . lump sum Of
SIC, ,000, 900 In gold coin and to make
annual payments Of $3.50, 900 in like
gold"
These payments are due each year
on February 26. II the Panamanian
legation refuses to accept the check
and demands gold 1t will be the first
test Of the gold clause.
Under the joint congressional reso-
luton Of June 5, 1888, ell obligations,
public and private. to pay in gold were
outlawed.
Observers pointed out that the
burden Of the Panamanian claim may
be that payment in gold is one condi-
ton Of an international treaty and
that refusal to pay in that medium
will subject the treaty to abrogation.
Under the 1904 treaty, the United
States obtained the use Of the Pan
anna Canal Zone In perpetuity cordi-
toned on annual payments in stipu-
lated form.
The New York Sun said that repre-
sentatives Of the Panamanian gov
ernment and the State Department
were discussing the method Of pay
ment months before the due date Of
the annuity. but they could reach no
agreement.
