directed.
No Numbers Calculated
While no definite numbers are
calculated, Mr.. Hopkins added:
"At least 100000 workers
under the CWA were taken off
various relief rolls at the be-
ginning, and should receive
some assurance that they will
be provided for under the new
Arrangement"
He is relying on the broadness
of the nreSe1t plan to absorb
greater numbers, for longer peri

possible under the old procedure
About three-fourths of the ex'
isting CWA projects are available
for continuation Of such employ
ment, he estimated.
ALL CAN SHARE
Mr.. Hopkins commented:
There is not . city in the
country of any importance which
cannot put on q major program
according to our present meth

Der Of cities felt that the time

ID IN NEW DEAL

IT is good to learn that the President has
L ordered a tull survey Of all the alphabet
soup" agencies IN Washington, with a view to
making their future activities more coherent
and harmonious than has been the case in
the immediate past.
There has been a good deal Of confusion
in the capital in the last few months. Part
OF 1t arose because some OF the innumerable
agencies overlapped one another. and part
OF 1t came because there did not seem to be
any definite course charted for all to follow.
The conferences which President Roose-
Welt is beginning ought TO help end this con-
fusion. The jobs that are being attempted
are TOO large and too important to permit of
any more drifting or working at croSs-pur-
poses.
Tn big need OF the day is to get all hands
squared away and headed toward some clearly
defined goal.

BURLESOUE

ONCE Herr Hitler announced his b~urlesque
y p|lebiscite this newspaper, along with most
Of the American press. has been pointing out
that it has no relation to a popular referen-
dun. There is no reason to repeat the obvious
now, except for the sake Of the record. Hitler
told the German people that the reason for
this election gesture was to prove to a hostile
and critical world that Germany is united.
When he scans the world press today he will
discover that he fooled none but himself.
Americans have no desire TO NEEDLE in in
ternal German politics. But they would be
less than human if they did not feel a pro-
found sympathy for the victims of the Hitler
terror. the German people. AS for getting rid
of him. that Of course is the task Of the Ger
mans and not of outsiders.
If Hitler can restrain his war-making Itch
which got the better of him in the abortive
Austrian putsch-Germany will be left alone
by other European nations TO find her own
way out of one of the most tragic relapses into
barbarism ever suffered by a supposedly
civilized government.
Meanwhile. the perfect commen on this
fake plebiScite is that made by the old General
Won Mackensen: This is no election. There is
no opposition" But if history teaches any,
thing it is that opposition driven under ground
finally ends in explosion.

SAFER FLYING

THE need for better safety regulations IN
reduce risks of air travel has been an
parent for some time. Existing regulations
tend to establish average minimum REQUIRE
ments OF pilot training and equipment, giving
little consideration to the fact that safety re-
quirements differ in various sections of the
country.
More specific regulations have been pro-
posed by Eugene Vidal, air commerce director
and now are being debated by air line opera
tors and plane manufacturers.
American aviation is growing by leaps and
bounds. Obviously it is improving its tech
nfque. But the record of the number of per-
sons killed and injured in airplane accidents
remains too high.
1t is not easy to compare our record with
worse weather. We do more night flying.
American aviation is daring. AND that is all
the more reason why the government should
exercise firm control.
A few operators grumble at the govern
ment's insistence that they use more expen-
siye equipment, that they use only multi
motored planes for night flying, that they cut
down the number Of pilot hours. 1t should be
evident that a sacrifice of profits now to
achieve greater safety will result in more
profits in the future by reason Of greater public
patronage and confidence.

PAYING FOR WEAKNESS

HALF a million people may starve to death
this summer because OF the drought. Not
in a century has there been a drought so
severe. Crops have withered under a blazing
sun which has kept the temperature at lis de-
grees, cay and night, for weeks. Rivers have
dried up. springs have stopped flowing.
There is no food to be had at all. over wide
areas; in scores Of villages and towns even the
supply Of drinking water has become exhausted.
The federal government wants to DO some
thing to relieve suffering, but it is so weak. so
overburdened with previous efforts to combat
the drought and so short Of funds that it is
very doubtful tina it will be able to do any
thing effective.
These few sentences present a living night
mare. They DO not apply. of course. to the
United States. They do apply. however. to
China. They were taken from a recent news
dispatch telling Of the horrible crisis which
China is facing this summer.
The Chinese drought is one Of the worst
in living memory. SO is the one that hit the
United States. Indeed. the weather seems to
have been about the same in each nation
much heat, no rain, a steady depletion Of all
water supplies, a burning and b~listering of all
growing things.
In the United States it has meant great
financial loss for the farmers and higher
prices for the city dwellers.
In China it is meaning nothing less than
widespread st~arvation-people dying by the
scores OF thousands because they can not get
food and water.
n contrast IS instructive. The disaster was
the same. in each case: but in one land there
was a social and economic organization capable
Of meeting the crisis. while in the other land
there was not.
In other words, there terrible natural ca
tastrophes that come upon US every so often
can be robbed Of their worst terrors if society
IS organized TO meet them properly.
Mankind can triumph over nature If it viii.
It's worst dangers are those which come when
the human element itself proves incapable or
meeting the challenge which fate periodically

STILL DISLIKES

Well, Mr.. Observer, in answer to
your childish attempt at criticism
of my protest in regard to OBJ

too busy, in fact, to give your pa
thetic attempt at willing sarcasm
more than passing notice.
1 have heard that, "it is the bit
Cog that yelps," then it occurred to
me that the fine bit Of work" Gas
you described it, might, after all, be
the reproduction of a photograph OF
some member of your family; a sis
ter, daughter, mother or some other
near and dear relative; otherwise,
just how did you happen to barge"
into this?
Your reference to a fine bit Of
work. is really amusing. I have
had some experience in CONNER
cial art and advertising, and the
better artists consider this type of
advertising merely cheap stuff, very
common, etc.
So, when you read this, just con-
troll yourself-it probably isn't the
first time you have spoken out OF
turn and made yourself ridiculous.
Permit me to suggest that we, for
the sake of our long-suffering ed
itor, and a more or less bored puslic,
call this CLOSED business
Yours for sane and decent ad-

CRITICISM

In Fridays Times, I found a letter

against the use OF Message Center

because even those handling the

Second, a Communist is a man
who believes he should have plenty

himself and family. A capitalist is
one who intends that if he can
help it, he will never let a laboring
man receive that. Next, unless a
change is made and men are al

are due to see more and more of
Communism.

SAYS POLICE IGNORED

Today a cab driver came into the

hauled from Keystone avenue and

which I did.
I explained to police headquarters
the plight of the cab driver. The
response that I received was "Oh,
we can't do anything about that,
we can't make them pay"
The cab driver working with stiff
competition on meager earnings is
